"Die, Lu Chen!"

Tempest Shadow grinned with satisfaction as he saw his spear make its way toward me in an almost inexorable fashion. That grin was so twisted that it looked a little sinister. As one of the four War Gods of the Martial God, Tempest Shadow had always been in Candlelight Shadow’s shadow despite being a CGL Hall of Famer himself. He didn’t mind this at all, but he really wanted to prove himself to Candlelight Shadow. If he managed to kill me right here and now, his reputation would definitely receive a huge boost.

However, I chuckled as I saw the spear soar toward me. Tempest Shadow’s desperate desire to succeed was plain for all the world to see, but it was too bad that this doofus didn’t have his boss's matchless skills!

Thud!

I launched myself off the battlements and did a spin in the air, dodging Tempest Shadow’s Barrier Break in an oh-so-casual manner. I executed a backward somersault when my feet hit the ground. This put me in front of Tempest Shadow. My arm immediately shot out and the Cyan Netherworld Sword glowed with the indigo light of Universe Break as it punched into the gap in Tempest Shadow’s neck armor with the force of a speeding bullet!

Pchhht!

24903!

Tempest Shadow’s eyes widened in alarm. He had just lost about one-third of his health in a single strike. But I wasn’t done yet! My sword flickered through the air three times as a fiery energy surged from its blade. Burning Blade Slash!

Clang! Clang! ...
