Chapter 1176: The Depletion of the Spirit

This time, Jondi Lilick's God of Warfare lost its aggressive momentum, and the long, golden blade in his hands transformed into a golden spear.

With a swing of the long spear, a faint thunderclap roared.

The third state of the God of Warfare - Thunder Rifle.

Rumble... the long spear rotated and went across its chest. Instantly, the momentum of the God of Warfare reached an unprecedented peak, and Jondi Lilick's confidence was exploding.

Lear frowned. He also used the Wood element. His force was very similar to that of Jondi Lilick's. Amongst the Five Elements, the compatibility of the Wood element was the best and the most complicated. It involved wind, thunder, lightning, and various special traits, such as devour, weakness, toxins, and so on.

Thus, there would always be special reactions after a Wood element warrior advanced to Earth-rank. This was why he did not try the Five Elements, but focused only on the Wood element. The Wood element of the Five Elements was already profound, and also the easiest to exhibit the trait-type ability. It was sufficient to master this deadly trick, and one would not need to take such a big detour like Wang Zheng.

Lear could clearly feel that his own understanding of the Wood element had stalled after Wang Zheng concentrated on the Five Elements. His understanding had remained in the use of the wind, with an elementary understanding of the light, while thunder remained elusive.

As for Wang Zheng's Earth-rank trait ability, even though it had yet to be revealed, Lear did not think that he had deliberately concealed it. It should be because the relationship between the Five Elements had not responded. The so-called trait ability would mostly manifest under circumstances where there was extreme concentration. Wang Zheng's desire for the Five Elements would cost him dearly!

Penny wise and pound foolish. Wang Zheng was too greedy!

Suddenly, Lear had great hopes for Jondi Lilick's trait ability. The Wood element was the most terrifying of the Five Elements. It should be evident from looking at Luo Fei that Jondi Lilick should not be worse than Luo Fei.

Was Wang Zheng going to die soon?

The ability of the Wood element was that it could easily attack the physical body of the mech!

Everyone present were masters. It was evident that Jondi Lilick's confidence lacked blindness, even arrogance. It was very likely that the attack would bring irrecoverable fatal injuries to the opponent.

A discussion may still be possible for the other people, but if it was Jondi Lilick, no matter who was in that position, they had to be careful.

Of course, Wang Zheng would not be careless. He would not dare to be careless. His intuition was very useful. Jondi Lilick must have mastered some deadly ability.

The Phantom King's Golden Light Masterpiece. All the runes had transformed into golden glimmers. He had two choices: full defence, or full attack. Nonetheless, Wang Zheng did not attack. His instinctive sense of crisis told him that he should stay away from Jondi Lilick this time. The farther the better, and not to allow the opponent to unleash his ability.

This was the SIG, so even if it meant death, he could not retreat.

Aina's expression changed abruptly when she heard it. "What did you say?"

"Your Highness, I've also just received the intelligence. Your Highness, you..."

Aina had already dashed out. She wanted to stop this match. If she had known that it was impossible, she would have chosen to give up. Perhaps she should not have deluded herself, and left herself, from the beginning. Perhaps he could have lived better and be freer.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't go. God..."

The secretary at the back was dumbfounded. It was with much effort that she received the news from Manalasuo that Jondi Lilick possessed an ability that could eliminate the physical body, and no one had been able to evade it so far.

On the battlefield, the style of the Thunder Rifle was completely different. It was not as aggressive as the Lightning Sword and the Frenzy Wind Blade.

Wang Zheng could feel that this was Jondi Lilick's own transformation. When using the Thunder Rifle, it carried the charm of the ancient martial arts, and it paid more attention to the intrinsic, rather than being fast, furious, and accurate.

However, this was definitely not what his sense of crisis was telling him.

Shrouded by the golden light, this was the strongest defence of the Five Elements that Wang Zheng had come across. Could he defend against it?

He did not know. Wang Zheng was unsure too. Reasonably speaking, the balance of the Five Elements could specifically restrain all individual elements, but the problem was that the balance of the Five Elements was not all-powerful. Ultimately, it depended on the depth of understanding. If it was a trait-type, it would be dangerous.

To deal with a trait-type, you must be aware of the opponent's abilities in advance so that you could target them. For example, when used for the first time, Luo Fei's phagocytic ability was virtually invincible, but once it was used again, you could always find a solution.

However, what was Jondi Lilick's trait ability?

Wang Zheng's defence was very steadfast. Jondi Lilick had never come across such an opponent, and he even admired him. This was the first time Jondi Lilick had met someone who had a bigger heart than him.

Both the world and Her Royal Highness - the Princess - were not things that mere mortals could desire.

The Thunder Rifle blasted shot after shot, and the faint, thundering roar became increasingly violent. Jondi Lilick's mech seemed to have incarnated as Zeus, and every strike sent the world into trembles.

There was an unmatchable sense of wane and wax. When confronted with such overbearing tactics and force, the Phantom King had no opportunity to unleash its strength. In fact, Wang Zheng had stopped using his avatar. His spiritual power was all focused on the subtle changes in Jondi Lilick's spiritual power. If it was a trait-type, it was either focusing on self or against the opponent. If it was on self, Wang Zheng was not afraid. With the defence of the Five Elements and his reaction speed, he could completely resist the attacks. If it was against the opponent, he had to be wary of a spiritual lock and/or imprint. As long as he could obliterate the imprint or spiritual lock within seconds, he could possibly evade the attack completely, maybe even before the attack was fully completed.

Jondi Lilick would not pose a threat as long as it was well defended!

Jondi Lilick was naturally given an opportunity to fully unleash his strength under such circumstances. Like the Yangtze River, the Thunder Rifle was strong and stable. Although it was not an ancient martial art, it had the same effect, and with the same methodology. The understanding of the intrinsic essence was a natural process at Jondi Lilick's state.

Strong bindings and the power of the thunder completely encased the Phantom King. Jondi Lilick's composure completely suppressed the Phantom King.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Eighteen Serial Lightning and Thunder Rifle!

Jondi Lilick's intrinsic quality was serial killing, substituting defence with attack. He did not want to do this unless it was a last resort. If Wang Zheng was defeated as a result, he could take such power to the finals.

A thunder formation was formed from the seventeen serial shots from the rifle attacks, completely suppressing the Phantom King, and the eighteenth shot was fired!

Wind, thunder, and lightning gathered. A bright ball of light burst through the golden tip, blasting directly at the Phantom King, and the ball of light carried a powerful magnetism. This pure "intense energy" was restraining all fantasies and space power. Everything would be interrupted regardless of whether it was avatar or teleportation.

Wang Zheng did not evade, and the Phantom King's Rune Sword thrusted forward. The energy ball that looked efflux was very well known, but there was no explosion.

The Rune Sword rotated quickly, circling around the energy ball, and the power of the Five Elements was cocooning it. The high-speed winding sword attracted the energy ball to the tip of the sword.

Rumble.

Jondi Lilick's fatal blow was raised up into the air. Boom...

The sword's energy swept past and the ball of thunder exploded in an earth-shattering manner in the air. The surrounding buildings collapsed in a rumble

However, the two mech warriors did not dare to move, allowing the surrounding things to drop and smash through.

In the end, it was still broken through. Jondi Lilick was not too surprised. In fact, after watching Wang Zheng's combat skills in the qualifiers, as well as the defence of the Five Elements, he knew that this move would most likely be thwarted. He just did not expect such an amazing skill to be used. As a matter of fact, it had never occurred even in Jondi Lilick's dreams.

Nonetheless, it was over.

His attack was not to defeat Wang Zheng, but to lay down his killer move.

Wang Zheng's runic mech had only taken a step and was ready to pursue, when it stopped abruptly. Wang Zheng's heart stirred.

He was frozen completely. On the opposite side, Jondi Lilick exuded a type of grey energy. The Wood element represented life. However, life had two meanings - one was supplement and the other was depletion.

Jondi Lilick's Ability X - Depletion of Life!

A grey, vine-like thing appeared around the Phantom King, squirming and entangling. This was the death vine. The vine could not be defended against, and it quickly pursued spiritual power. During the strike of the thunder, Jondi Lilick laid down the seeds, then used the power of thunder to nurture the seeds.

Jondi Lilick knew that his ability was not omnipotent. Maybe the Fire of the Five Elements, or the rare Brilliant element, may restrain it, but that was only theoretical. Although Wang Zheng's Fire element was good, his understanding of it had definitely yet reached a high enough level. This ability was beyond his control was well. The death vine would suck the opponent every time.
