Chapter 1432: Reversal |
Gao Changkong could be certain that something terrifying was slowly awakening in the upper levels of the Holy Spirit Hall.
"I can't let you delay me here!"
"Otherwise, once Zhang Yi and the others catch up, they'll definitely laugh at me!"
Gao Changkong's right arm slowly pulled back, forming a fencing motion, and then the Golden Holy Sword thrust fiercely toward General Baburu!
A sharp, golden sword aura burst from the sword's tip, instantly transforming into a violent shockwave that shot straight at General Baburu!
"Boom!"
The golden sword aura illuminated the entire palace, every corner dyed a brilliant golden yellow.
General Baburu remained expressionless, simply raising his battle-axe to block Gao Changkong's fierce attack.
The powerful impact slammed heavily into his battle-axe, pushing his body backward!
"Meditation Seal!"
Gao Changkong's deduction ability activated once again—the longer he fought, the more accurately he could foresee the future.
He could even precisely predict his opponent's attack patterns!
Of course, continuously using this ability came at a considerable cost to himself.
But right now, he had to break through the enemy before him as quickly as possible!
"Swish!"
Gao Changkong transformed into a golden lightning bolt, closing in on Baburu before the general had even regained his balance, and stabbed straight at his chest with the sword!
The eyes behind Baburu's mask showed no flicker of emotion as he swiftly raised his axe to block.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Golden Holy Sword and silver battle-axe clashed rapidly, producing sounds like blacksmith's hammering, sparks flying everywhere.
Their power was so immense that even the shockwaves they generated destroyed everything in the palace.
Even Gu Man and Chen Xiaozheng, standing hundreds of meters away, had to retreat another thousand meters, nearly exiting the palace gates.
"I see it... I'm slowly seeing his attack trajectory! Not strong enough, not fast enough—there are flaws everywhere!"
After countless exchanges, the image of Baburu's attacks gradually took shape in Gao Changkong's mind.
When a person fights, their techniques are limited; muscle reflexes are formed through years of training.
So as long as Gao Changkong observed enough, his mind would naturally generate predictions for the opponent's moves.
The longer the battle lasted, the stronger he became!
"Clang!"
Gao Changkong's Golden Holy Sword chopped down heavily, and Baburu expressionlessly raised his axe to block.
But the moment the sacred sword fell, Baburu suddenly realized that Gao Changkong had held back his strength.
In the instant of contact, the blade bypassed his axe and stabbed straight toward his chest!
All of this happened in a split second.
For truly top-tier experts, the slightest mistake could decide life or death.
Because your opponent would never give you a chance to regret.
The Golden Holy Sword, with its reserved five points of strength, slammed heavily into Baburu's breastplate!
"Boom!"
Golden light erupted on his chest, a golden torrent instantly engulfing Baburu's body!
Even through the thick, ancient breastplate, this blow would deal significant damage to his body!
Of this, Gao Changkong was fully confident.
He slowly floated down from the air, his gaze cautiously fixed on Baburu, who had been blasted hundreds of meters away by the golden light.
"Is it really that easy?" he said in a low voice.
He had landed the blow, yet he didn't look relaxed.
Because what he had seen in his deduction had shifted subtly.
On the ground, the heavy figure slowly stood up.
The ancient, heavy armor on his body was dented.
Even the armor of the kingdom's Grand General was merely a product of old craftsmanship, unable to compare with modern combat suits, let alone withstand Gao Changkong's full-force strike backed by a superhuman ability index of 17,000 points.
Gu Man's face suddenly lit up. "He's injured!"
She saw it, and Gao Changkong saw it too.
This blow had seriously wounded Baburu; beneath his Horned Helmet, blood slowly dripped.
Baburu's eyes fixed on Gao Changkong, but the gaze in those shadowed eyes beneath the helmet remained utterly emotionless.
He reached out and lightly brushed his armor.
The next moment, what unfolded before them made Gao Changkong's pupils sharply constrict!
Because he clearly saw that the armor he had dented with his strike had been restored to perfect condition!
Even the blood dripping from Baburu's lips had vanished without a trace.
"What kind of ability is this?" Gao Changkong frowned.
The armor looked brand new and shiny—even if repaired, there shouldn't be no trace of damage at all.
Now it seemed as if it had never been harmed.
Just then, Chen Xiaozheng's panicked voice reached Gao Changkong's ears.
"Boss, his ability... I stole it!"
As long as he saw an ability, he could simulate it.
Even with his Delta-level power, he could barely muster one-tenth of Baburu's superhuman ability's strength, but at least he could gather intelligence.
"His ability is to reverse his own personal time!"
Hearing Chen Xiaozheng's words, Gao Changkong looked back at General Baburu, who was calmly dusting off the dirt from his body as if nothing had happened, and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"Time reversal, huh? Doesn't that mean no matter how much damage I inflict on him, as long as he activates his ability, it's all for nothing?"
No wonder he felt Baburu's attack attributes weren't that strong.
Because he didn't need to quickly eliminate his opponent.
With the power to reverse time, he was inherently unbeatable.
"Keep observing—I'll force him to use more of his abilities!" Gao Changkong said to Chen Xiaozheng.
Even if General Baburu's ability was heaven-defying, he would keep fighting because he knew there were no perfect superhumans in this world.
Every ability had its weakness.
"Whoosh—"
He transformed into a golden storm, immense superhuman energy enveloping him like a tangible force, charging straight at General Baburu's face with overwhelming killing intent!
And Baburu, still expressionless, raised his battle-axe and met him head-on!
His combat prowess was unremarkable; purely looking at attack attributes, he was only around 17,000 points.
So Gao Changkong could match him evenly.
However, after a prolonged battle with Gao Changkong...
A faint, translucent white glow appeared on his body.
Every wound Gao Changkong inflicted on him was instantly restored to perfect condition.
Including his body's state and the superhuman energy he had expended—all returned to their peak state!
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Gao Changkong's condition weakened, while Baburu could remain at his absolute peak forever.
When that time came, it would be Gao Changkong who was being toyed with by Baburu!
