Chapter 490 – Tit-For-Tat

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Why is it like this?”

Supported by Ye Zi, Lu Yao’s face looked a little pale. She looked at Chen Heng, walking towards her like a holy-like figure. The emotions in her heart were uncertain at this moment.

She was sure that the person in front of her was her elder brother. However, he had become like this for some unknown reason, as if everything had changed after waking up, and everyone had become unfamiliar. She had tured from an ordinary student to the so-called Golden King, and the same applied

to her elder brother. Lu Yao’s mind could not help but become absent-minded, feeling everything around her.

The Crimson Knight looked at Chen Heng, who was walking towards her, with solemnity in his eyes.

“Who are you?” She looked at Chen Heng and finally spoke, “Besides the Golden King, didn’t expect someone like you on such a tiny star.”

She stared at Chen Heng as if she wanted to see through him. However, she was unable to do so. An inexplicable power blocked her vision, preventing her from seeing the nature of the person before her, which without a doubt, was an unbelievable thing for the mighty Crimson Knight. Even when facing

Lu Yao, the Golden King, the Crimson Knight did not have such a feeling before this. But now, she did.

Moreover, the aura that Chen Heng exuded was extraordinary. He seemed to be only a fifth rank or had not even completed the fifth rank. Such power was inferior to Ferrier and not even worth mentioning to the Crimson Knight.

However, standing before the Crimson Knight, the aura and power that Chen Heng exuded were far more than that. That kind of soul-stirring strength, like the spirit of an Azure Dragon roaring in the sky, was not merely a fifth rank. Even the previous Golden King had never given the Crimson Knight

such colossal pressure.

Instinctively, this would be an even more difficult opponent than the previous Crimson Knight. Therefore, her eyes were slightly solemn as she looked before her.

“Lu Kong.” Chen Heng was silent for a moment when he heard the Crimson Knight’s words. Then, he smiled and said the name of his identity.

The Crimson Knight frowned as soon as he said that. She wanted to get some information about this name from her mind, but she could not find any clues in the end. The name was blank in the Crimson Knight’s mind as if it did not exist at all. On the other hand, Ferrier and Avril’s expressions changed

slightly, feeling disbelief.

The Crimson Knight was mighty, so she naturally would not pay too much attention to ants. However, that is not the case for the two of them. The moment they obtained Lu Yao’s information, they had memorized all the information about everyone around Lu Yao. This wasn’t a difficult task for experts

like them, just a simple glance. Therefore, they quickly discovered Chen Heng’s identity – the Golden King reincarnation’s elder brother. However, how was this possible?

According to the information they had obtained previously, the Golden King’s elder brother should only be an ordinary person. Although he could be a genius, he shouldn’t have reached such a level. Based on their information, Chen Heng’s level was only at the third rank. But now, he should be at least a

fifth rank. There was probably something wrong with this.

Compared to Ferrier and Avril, who were not so calm, the Crimson Knight was still as quiet as ever, and she said calmly, “Your strength is unique. You’re only a fifth-rank, yet the strength within your body has surprised me. I’m curious about this.”

As she spoke, she slowly reached out her hand. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to have stopped, and all senses were cut off as if the stars had fallen.

If one were to look at this area from afar, one would discover a shocking thing. The space in front of them became blurry as if it had been cast by magic. Many things were gradually disappearing as if they had been erased directly due to the Crimson Knight’s punch.

For someone like her, if she were to use her full strength, even a casual strike could produce unimaginable consequences and was enough to destroy mountains, rivers, and everything. However, she had made a move, and it was so clean and neat.

“This power…’ In the distance, Lu Yao’s face was pale. As she felt the power twisting around before her, her face couldn’t help but become even sourer.

The Crimson Knight’s strength now was more than twice the strength compared to when she fought with Lu Yao previously, which was on another level. To a certain extent, this also proved that her words earlier were true. Before this, the Crimson Knight indeed did not use her full strength. Instead, she

suppressed her power to her level. Otherwise, she would never be able to take this shot alone, let if she went all out.

Bang!

A crisp collision sounded. Light shone in all directions, blocking everyone’s vision to see clearly in front of them. Ferrier and the others could only feel that there seemed to be an equally majestic and tyrannical power rising in front of them. At this moment, it rose up and forcefully cut off the Crimson

Knight’s attack.

Bang!

A series of soft sounds sounded from the ground as if there was an earthquake in all directions. The earth started to shake spontaneously, tall buildings collapsed, and even the sky seemed to be torn apart. A large hole was forcefully opened in the initially complete crimson net as if it had been released

and pierced through. The entire destruction process of Qika Star was also forcefully stopped due to the imperfect crimson net.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield. Two figures were still facing each other. Opposite the Crimson Knight, Chen Heng raised one hand and forcefully held her fist. A layer of dazzling golden armor was seen on Chen Heng’s body. Some mysterious and powerful power seemed to emerge

from this layer of armor, giving Chen Heng a powerful strength. That force exuded was not inferior to the Crimson Knight. The Ancient Armor.

“So, it looks like this…” Lu Yao and Ye Zi were stunned, looking at the golden armor covering Chen Heng’s body, but they immediately understood everything after recalling their past experiences.

The mysterious person who appeared at the critical moment and rescued them in the ruins was none other than her elder brother. He was also present at the time when Olly had chased after them. Presumably, the reason why they were able to leave and not be chased after successfully was also because of

Chen Heng. How much help had he given them without them knowing? Lu Yao’s emotions were complicated as she thought about the past.

In the distance, many live broadcasts were still going on.

When they saw the resplendent golden armor, countless people cried out in surprise, feeling shocked by Chen Heng’s strength.

“Is this your true strength?” In the room, Liu Rou was shocked as she looked at Chen Heng, who was facing the Crimson Knight on the screen without the slightest intention to retreat.

In the past, Chen Heng would always bring her many surprises. However, those surprises were far less than this time. At this moment, the people standing in front of Chen Heng were not others but the mighty Five Knights.

‘Without realizing it, have you grown to the point where you are fearless even when facing such an opponent? Liu Rou thought.

Even more people were paying attention to this battle in the distance. Yang Ke suddenly stood up and stared intently at the screen in the hospital room. In the distance, Wang Zhong looked at the scene displayed in the live broadcast. His eyes were crimson red, and he was on the verge of going crazy.

Following the Crimson Knight’s actions, in the entire Qika Star, all those who were able to watch the battle were using all sorts of methods they could to observe the outcome of this battle.

Many people were shocked looking at the battle prowess that Chen Heng demonstrated. Even the Crimson Knight, standing before Chen Heng, could not help but be surprised.

‘Ancient Armor? The Crimson Knight’s expression was a little surprised. She looked at Chen Heng and the resplendent armor. At this moment, she could not help but be shocked. ‘To rely on the Ancient Armor to increase his strength to such an extent…”

The Ancient Armor could indeed enhance one’s battle strength, and there was no limit. However, this was only in theory. The gap between theory and reality was huge. In reality, no one’s will could reach that level.

The enhancement of the Ancient Armor to a person and the level of the armor itself also depended on the owner’s spiritual power.

As for the soul power, it seemed illusory, but it was real. In the eyes of the Crimson Knight, the so-called soul power was the same as spiritual power and telekinetic power. It was also a mighty and absolute power. And, unless someone’s soul power was endless, it was unlikely to be enhanced to such a

terrifying degree. Even someone at the level of the Crimson Knight would not be able to do so.

In reality, for someone at Crimson Knight’s level, an Ancient Armor would not have such a significant increase. Although it was still helpful, the increase was not too noticeable.

However, Chen Heng was undoubtedly only a fifth rank in strength alone. After being reinforced by the Ancient Armor, Chen Heng had gone a long way and had attained that kind of strength that could even be said to have caught up with the Crimson Knight directly, reaching the level before her eyes –

the so-called sixth rank eternal rank.

‘But, how could this be possible?’ All sorts of thoughts flashed through the Crimson Knight’s mind.

However, Chen Heng did not stop but casually stretched out his hand and blocked the Crimson Knight’s attack. A mysterious Golden Mark appeared on his forehead and emitted an infinite radiance shrouding the surroundings. It turned into a golden battle sword and swept down.

Everything was silent as if terrifying power had exploded, starting from the most basic structure. Once that kind of overwhelming power was released, it will drown people directly.

Bang!

The galaxy exploded!

The battle sword swung, and golden telekinetic power condensed, directly slashing towards the Crimson Knight.

A sense of danger emerged in the Crimson Knight’s heart instantly. She subconsciously wanted to dodge this attack, but she realized that she was already locked by Chen Heng, unable to escape. Her body had already been fixed, firmly locked onto the center of this attack. She could not dodge it no matter

how she moved and could only face it head-on. The blood-red crystal battle sword was drawn, emitting brilliant radiance.

‘When she realized her situation, the Crimson Knight did not hesitate but directly drew her sword to confront Chen Heng. In an instant, this place fell into a deadlock. Two completely different but equally terrifying forces collided, shrouding the surrounding area. This collision was undoubtedly highly

horrifying. Ordinary people couldn’t even stand aside and endure the remaining waves, let alone get involved.

A golden sword aura flew across the sky. It seemed like it was an accident, but it also seemed intentional. It directly chopped down on Avril’s body under her shocked gaze. A soft sound sounded, followed by blood splattering in all directions. Avril was sent flying in an instant, almost dying on the spot.

Following that, an invisible crimson sword aura also few across, as if it was a counterattack, directly slashing towards Lu Yao’s body. Although the strength of this sword aura was not as strong for the Crimson Knight and could only be deemed a casual attack, the power contained within was equally

terrifying. If it landed and slashed on Lu Yao’s body, it would probably be able to kill her on the spot without the slightest bit of surprise.

Lu Yao’s face was filled with shock, and she could not react. At the critical moment, Ferrier’s body rushed over, using himself as a barrier to help her block this attack.

Compared to Avril, he was stronger after all, and his performance was much better now. Although he was also sent flying, he was not hit directly to the state of near-death like Avril was. However, his aura was extremely weak after resisting the attack, and he was heavily injured.

“My King, go!” Ferrier said as he looked at Lu Yao. He was struggled to get up as crimson blood spilled everywhere. Following the clash between the Crimson Knight and Chen Heng, this place had become a chaotic place. This terrifying power was enough to affect the entire Qika Star in the battle between

two powerful existences above the sixth rank. Anyone who dared to approach would be crushed into dust.

They were so close. If they continued to stay like this, they would be torn apart by the aftershocks of their clash sooner or later.

“My King, we have to leave!” Holding Lu Yao, Ye Zi gritted her teeth, then carried Ferrier and ran into the distance. They had to leave, taking advantage of the opportunity before them.

They could see the situation before them. Chen Heng had not reached the level of the Crimson Knight. He was still far from it. He could compete with the Crimson Knight entirely due to his Power of Faith, and he had temporarily gained such battle prowess with the addition of the Ancient Armor.

The battle prowess obtained through this means was destined to be short-lived. When the time was up, Chen Heng would still not be a match for the Crimson Knight. In the end, there would only be one outcome. And when that time came, if Lu Yao and the others were to remain here, they would die.

Their only hope was to take advantage of the moment when the Crimson Knight could not escape and quickly leave. Without them by his side, Chen Heng could also go all out, and perhaps there would be even more hope.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Ye Zi’s mind, then, without any hesitation, Ferrier and herself immediately brought Lu Yao along and were about to leave.

Lu Yao did not respond to Ye Zi’s words at all. She only stared intently at the battlefield in front of them, as if she wanted to see Chen Heng’s figure within it. Unfortunately, Chen Heng’s figure had already been wholly concealed and was completely invisible. She could only judge from the aura that would

occasionally emanate that Chen Heng was still there. Just like that, she was carried by Ye Zi and gradually left this area.

And in front, the battle was ongoing. Powerful forces collided with each other. The two battle swords clashed head-on as if wanting to destroy everything in all directions.

Bang!

A soft sound erupted. Under the light, Chen Heng’s figure retreated, and he was choking blood. A deep fist print appeared on his chest, with blood dripping from it, accompanied by the remnants of the mecha.

“Is it worth it to pay such a huge price just to cover up the departure of the Golden King?”

In front of them, the Crimson Knight looked at Chen Heng, who was constantly retreating and could not help but shake her head. “You should know that even if I don’t go after her, the probability of them surviving is very low. My power has long covered this planet, and even the surrounding space is the

same.” She said calmly, “My power shrouds them. No matter what, they are destined not to be able to leave. Even if you forcefully open the Realm Gate, there is a high probability that they will be transported to an unknown region. They are destined to die.”

The Crimson Knight was not concerned about the whereabouts of Lu Yao and the others. Previously, she had turned her power into a crimson net that shrouded the entire Qika Star. However, it was not done casually but intentionally.

With her power enveloping it, the entire Qika Star was covered, forming a small isolated field. Any means of leaving would have to fight against her power. Otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed.
