Chapter 672: Chapter 159: Battle with the Ferocious Bear King

The words had barely left his mouth before the Berserk King Bear launched a fierce attack.

Sensing long-lost pressure emanating from his opponent, his instincts screamed of the extreme danger the other posed.

His figure activated, and a pale yellow magic power radiated from the Berserk King Bear. His beast transformation instantly kicked in.

Seeing the all-out effort of the Berserk King Bear, Lu Hong couldn’t help but curse, "What the hell? Who starts with their ultimate move right off the bat?"

Having triggered berserk mode, Lu Hong naturally couldn’t show any weakness.

The power of blood surged forth, and his two great swords spit out a cold light, slicing towards the enemy.

The physical prowess of the Berserk King Bear was formidable, and Lu Hong’s great swords couldn’t tear through his defenses with their sharpness alone.

The collision of their confrontations produced a dull roar. Each strike stirred up violent winds that tore the surrounding grass and trees.

One move, two moves, three moves—within merely three minutes, the two had clashed no less than a hundred times.

Powered by his blood, Lu Hong’s strength was on par with the Berserk King Bear; they were evenly matched.

But for the Berserk King Bear, it was a loss.

Because the Brown Spirit Bear Clan relied mainly on two things: strength, where they ranked in the top twenty among the beast tribes for their sheer physical power, and secondly, their affinity with the Earth Element, which was their second significant advantage, allowing them to enhance their strength and defense through the Earth Element Power substantially.

In the army organization of the Beastmen, the Brown Spirit Bear Clan were often the frontline tanks. However, due to their poor mobility, whenever a battle turned towards defeat, they were the first to be abandoned, used as rear-guard scapegoats.

The Berserk King Bear had survived countless battles of the Beastmen against outsiders, losing one hundred seventy-two of those encounters. How could he have survived to this day without his tremendous strength?

As their duel dragged on, Lu Hong also realized that this opponent was a genuine lump of earth. Without a special move that far surpassed the opponent’s defensive capabilities, it was almost impossible to break through his defense.

Half an hour passed, and seeing no signs of exhaustion in Lu Hong, the Berserk King Bear grew impatient. Having already expended over half of his strength and deeply desiring to know where Gui He had acquired such potent blood abilities from, he wondered if his Brown Spirit Bear Clan could command the hundred tribes and unify the beast tribes should they acquire this ability.

Seeing that pure combat was ineffective against Lu Hong, the Berserk King Bear finally launched his skill.

In an instant, countless earthen yellow spikes burst forth, covering a kilometer radius.

Although these spikes were much cruder compared to the skills released by Earth Element Mages in the future, and not very sharp, Lu Hong knew they must not be touched.

Using his momentum, he leapt into the air; Lu Hong activated his skill, and the Blood River cascaded down upon the spikes.

Immediately, explosive roars broke the silence.

Every spike touched by the Blood River turned into explosive thunder, shattering stone flying in all directions. If not for the blockage by the Blood River, Lu Hong too might have been hit.

"I knew it."

Before Lu Hong could feel relieved for dodging a bullet, the second skill of the Berserk King Bear was also triggered.

Under the rhythmic pounding of the Berserk King Bear, the trembling earth gradually softened, resembling a till-yellow sea emanating terrifying waves.

Lu Hong leapt a hundred meters away, stood above the Blood River, and didn’t advance to interrupt the casting of the opponent’s skill. He, too, wanted to see the earliest application of the Earth Element Power and what devastating power it possessed.

As the skill casting completed, the Berserk King Bear plunged his hands into the soft earth sea and then heaved forcefully.

A massive wave of earth rose from around the Berserk King Bear, spreading outward.

"The power doesn’t seem that great," commented Lu Hong as he directed the Blood River to harshly collide with the earth wave.

Both unleashed their full strength; elemental magic power and blood energy continuously clashed, causing the sky and earth to change color amidst the wild impacts.

Distant onlookers like Gui He and others, witnessing such terrifying destructive power, had no choice but to retreat to avoid being affected.

During this stalemate, the Berserk King Bear felt increasingly that the man before him was profoundly unfathomable. He appeared to be under thirty, yet he possessed strength equal to his own. No wonder the Heavenly God Lionheart had prophesied that the Human Race would rise; their potential was indeed immense.

Upon looking at Lu Hong, he was actually not faring well either. His body hadn’t undergone any special adventures, so the total amount of his vitality was about the same as that of an average Third Transition Middle Stage warrior of future generations. If the stalemate continued, he would certainly be the first to falter, before the King of the Berserk Bears.

But before Lu Hong could make a move, the King of the Berserk Bears changed his tactics first.

The land of the transforming sea started to boil and continuously rose into the air, gathering anew a kilometer above, like a gigantic slab of brick, smashing down viciously towards Lu Hong.

With the King of the Berserk Bears’ change in tactics, the power of the earth wave greatly diminished.

But needing to deal with the brick falling overhead and unable to pursue his victory, he had to withdraw his vitality.

Looking up at the falling ten-thousand-ton brick, Lu Hong took a deep breath as countless streams of vitality surrounded his twin swords.

Heaven Slaying skill suddenly activated!

In the higher sky above the brick, a hundred-meter-long blood-red giant sword fiercely chopped down towards the brick.

The two skills collided, and the surging energy wreaked havoc in the sky above Razelle Forest.

Countless members of the Human Race looked at that torn sky, as if seeing the apocalypse, and displayed expressions of horror.

Fortunately, Hai Ge appeared in time, explaining that their Clan Leader was testing a new skill, which calmed them down.

For a full quarter of an hour, the magic power storm gradually dissipated.

At that moment, both the King of the Berserk Bears and Lu Hong were sitting on the ground, exhausted, not far from each other. If they still had the strength, within a step, they could take each other’s head.

But indeed, both of them were out of energy, and they also didn’t want to continue fighting.

"Who would have thought, the Human Race would produce a second saint," the King of the Berserk Bears thought, considering Lu Hong with such formidable strength, he was undoubtedly the Human Race’s second saint.

"Haha, Highness King of the Berserk Bears, you think too much, I am not yet worthy of being called a saint," Lu Hong laughed, "Today’s battle has been incredibly enlightening, thank you for your teachings, King of the Berserk Bears."

"Alas!" The King of the Berserk Bears shook his head, "I lost, I have lived a hundred years longer than you, but you’ve always overwhelmed me in our fights. If you were the same age as me, I suspect I wouldn’t last three moves against you."

"Highness King of the Berserk Bears, you exaggerate," Lu Hong sheathed his swords and shouted towards the side, "All of you sneaking peeks can come out now!"

The three lord brothers and Gui He stepped out, running over to Lu Hong’s side.

Lu Hong gestured with his mouth, and Gui He immediately understood, nodding his head, he turned and ran towards the King of the Berserk Bears, helping him up.

Seeing his young master acquainted with the opponent, the King of the Berserk Bears finally put the weight off his heart and asked, "Young Master, what is your relationship with this saint before us? Can you tell me?"

"This..." Without Lu Hong’s approval, Gui He naturally couldn’t say.

"Gui He and I are sort of like brothers in mentorship, I am the elder apprentice brother, and he is the second," Lu Hong opened his mouth to defuse the situation, "Both Gui He and I studied under a Heavenly God. Our revered master teaches indiscriminately, not limited by race."

"May I ask which Heavenly God taught you?"

Lu Hong’s words puzzled the King of the Berserk Bears. Although there were many famously powerful Heavenly Gods on the continent, some indeed capable of manipulating blood, such use like Lu Hong’s and Gui He’s was something he had never seen before.

"War God," Lu Hong said with a grin, "I wonder if the King of the Berserk Bears has ever heard this title?"

"War God?" the King of the Berserk Bears looked bemused, "Could it be the War God of the Elves? Or the God of Raging Waves of the Sea Race? It shouldn’t be, they have never used the power of blood."

"Just called War God, no other prefixes."

"Just War God?" the King of the Berserk Bears took a deep breath, "Truly domineering, why have I never heard of this name before?"

"Not hearing it before doesn’t matter, as long as you’ve heard it today," Lu Hong stood up, calling everyone to return to the village, having fully grasped the King of the Berserk Bears’ strength, he wasn’t worried about the opponent causing trouble.

The King of the Berserk Bears followed Gui He into the human village.

For the King of the Berserk Bears, who had killed many humans and flattened over thirty human villages, this village brought an inexplicable sense of dread.

Every youth in the village was full of vigor, with powerful strength flowing in their bodies, in no way inferior to the young experts of their Linzong Bear Race.
