Chapter 7001 Two-Way (Eleventh Anniversary)
That's right, this isn't an attack, but a seal, an arrow used to block and suppress opponents, derived from Komnin's self-awareness. More importantly, this thing is a special kind of idealistic talent, and its effect is extremely concentrated—it's a seal.
From a certain perspective, this is actually an extremely rare talent. When Zhang Yong encountered this situation for the first time, all the power in his body was affected when the arrow turned into a chain connecting the two sides and tightly bound him. In fact, as the power of the seal penetrated into his body, it quickly subsided.
"Come down!" Komnin's right hand suddenly exerted force, forcibly pulling Zhang Yong, whose strength had waned and who could no longer maintain flight, down.
When Zhang Yong was pulled down, he showed no panic, only a sudden realization. Indeed, if he hadn't participated in such a grand martial arts competition, he wouldn't have known how many extraordinary talents existed in the world. He couldn't even imagine them, let alone see them. For example, Komnin's move was something only Zhang Yong, with his multiple combined powers, could achieve. In other times, without so many equipment, this move would have at least silenced Zhang Yong's power for a few seconds.
Don't underestimate those few seconds; from a certain perspective, they're already incredibly impressive.
Most of the sixth-level forged warriors could only run away when facing Zhang Yong. Someone like Komneno, who could counterattack, suppress Zhang Yong with his first kill, cooperate with his teammates, and seize the opportunity, could not only kill Zhang Yong but also seriously injure him on the spot. He was already a very top-level elite.
Zhang Yong was forcibly pulled in front of Komnin, but when he was still five steps away from Komnin, Zhang Yong stopped and looked at Komnin and said, "Very good first-encounter kill talent, no, it's not just a simple first-encounter kill anymore. Even if others know that your arrows have the effect of sealing and silencing power, with your ability, it is basically impossible for them to dodge them."
Zhang Yong had been hit by all sorts of arrows, so when he was only hit by one arrow from Komnenos, he realized that the arrows had a guaranteed hit effect. This kind of thing is a kind of idealism, and it is not easy for most veterans to dodge.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, this kind of structure with the attributes of sealing and guaranteed hit is somewhat difficult for many people to deal with.
Unfortunately, this move was aimed at Zhang Yong. Among all the veterans, Zhang Yong's mechanism was not the most overpowered, but it was definitely the most difficult to deal with, because Zhang Yong's mechanism ensured that he could ignore all other mechanisms when needed.
All the veterans of the Han Dynasty who saw Zena's true talent were thinking about how to use the mechanism to deal with the mechanism. Only Zhang Yong thought about directly confronting it head-on. He didn't care about the mechanism. He just wanted to do it and believed in his miracle. There was no pitfall he couldn't get through!
The moment Komnen heard those words, he realized something was wrong. He immediately pushed off the ground with the balls of his feet and jumped backward, but it was too late. Forces are reciprocal; when you restrain your opponent, you are also restrained by them.
Zhang Yong reached out and grabbed the materialized mind that had completely turned into chains. In an instant, he seized the thing and used it to suppress Komnen. With Komnen's face contorted in despair, Zhang Yong delivered a devastating punch.
"As someone who has shown me a talent worth remembering, you deserve the treatment of Anada and Zena." Zhang Yong punched Komnen straight through, then controlled the wings that Huang Tao had transformed into and flew towards the direction he sensed, where there were still several Roman elites, whom he killed.
"Are you sure you're not going to do anything about it?" Liu Tong asked Chen Xi, turning to look at the sweeping push that had lost its aesthetic appeal.
"Why should we interfere? Look at the generals watching; they don't see anything wrong with it. After all, Zhang Yong's weapons and equipment were captured piece by piece by Zhang Yong himself," Chen Xi said calmly, then glanced at Liu Tong. "Speaking of which, Your Highness, is there something going on?"
“No, I prefer to watch evenly matched battles.” Liu Tong glanced at Zhang Yong and said rather calmly, “If this level of intensity continues, the battles between Zhang Yong and his opponents will become completely boring. Before, when Zhang Yong was in his three-in-one form fighting against Ananda in her two-in-one form, at least in the final moments the outcome was unpredictable. If Ananda hadn’t misjudged Zhang Yong’s fighting style, she might not have lost. But this kind of…”
"It's alright, we're still just fighting the Romans." Chen Xi shook his head and said, then glanced down and saw another mushroom cloud rising from where Zhang Yong was. Well, Zhang Yong wasn't usually this reckless, but with his incredible stats right now, even a normal person wouldn't care about technique, let alone Zhang Yong, who's a madman.
"The strongest among these Romans is only at the sixth level of the Melting Realm; there's no way they can stop us." Liu Tong watched with amusement as Zhang Yong chased after a Roman scout who was desperately running away.
"You don't actually think this group can take down Zhang Yong, do you? As the battle continues, Zhang Yong is able to absorb more and more talent, and his structure is becoming more and more perfect. Under the miraculous harmonization, the limits that Zhang Yong can exert will only become more and more outrageous. How are the others supposed to fight him?" Liu Tong watched as the Roman scout Brutus used natural mimicry, light and shadow manipulation, and being witnessed to the extreme, desperately trying to escape from Zhang Yong, but ultimately no match for Zhang Yong's heaven-defying stats...
To be honest, Brutus's talent build is already ridiculous. The ability to project and occlude light and shadow is the best talent for escaping. Natural Mimicry allows him to blend into nature. Being spotted, combined with the ability to project light and shadow, ensures that the opponent sees him first, blinds him, and then he can start a new round of stealth.
It can be said that Brutus was able to thrive in the Grand Martial Arts Competition thanks to his Fivefold Refinement technique, and even managed to pick up two boxes of high-quality silk because of this seemingly weak but incredibly effective talent structure. However, now that he's facing Zhang Yong, his attempts at cunning have been futile. Ever since he was tricked the first time, Zhang Yong has been chasing after him with his broadsword.
"Zhang Yong, you cheated! You absolutely cheated!" Brutus roared at Zhang Yong after being caught up by him once again and realizing that he was doomed and would definitely be eliminated based on points.
"What, you're not convinced!" Zhang Yong threw a spear of light from behind Brutus, piercing through him. The spearhead protruded from his chest. Even without any finishing move, relying solely on pure muscle strength, Zhang Yong easily used a spear to pierce through Brutus's well-trained body and armor.
Brutus fell to the ground filled with grief and indignation, but Zhang Yong showed Brutus what it meant to be a miracle at will—Zhang Yong, relying solely on single-target miracle transformation, forcibly turned the resisting Brutus into a spear of light.
If Zhang Yong couldn't forcibly transform a top-tier elite soldier with six levels of forging into his own equipment without external force, given the opponent's resolute resistance, then who gave this mere Roman with five levels of forging the courage to provoke me, Zhang Yong?
At that moment, Brutus's perspective changed; he transformed into a javelin. Zhang Yong held it in his hand and tossed it around. Then, when a familiar Roman figure appeared, Zhang Yong smiled and threw the javelin, now transformed from Brutus, with a finishing move attached.
When Dante saw Zhang Yong, his expression turned somewhat ugly. When he saw Zhang Yong greet him with a spear throw that was a finishing move, his expression became even uglier. Without saying a word, he roared, and his already tall and strong body suddenly swelled up. Moreover, his originally loose armor was filled to the brim with this roar.
He grabbed the previously enormous cross-shaped spear with one hand, mobilized all his strength, and launched a slashing attack forward. The pure power combined with the crushing blow of the heavy weapon created an airburst in the atmosphere, almost like an elliptical shockwave barrier that blasted towards him head-on.
The collision between the two created a shockwave between Zhang Yong and Dante, and the light spear that Brutus had transformed into was shattered by the terrifying force that attacked from both the front and the rear.
"Zhang Yong, you're a real beast." Dante looked at his inexplicably rising score and immediately realized that the spear that had been thrown at him earlier was most likely a contestant that Zhang Yong had miraculously transformed. After all, he had personally witnessed Zhang Yong transform his teammates into lions, rhinos, hippos, and even weapons, among other incredible feats.
“That’s not quite right,” Zhang Yong said, spreading his hands with a carefree smile.
"Never mind, it's not important. After all, it's just a martial arts demonstration." Dante gripped his cross spear tightly, looked at Zhang Yong, and pointed to a spot to the south. "Since you're here, I'll go this way, and you can go in another direction, how about that?"
"You're overthinking it. It's rare to run into a tough opponent. If I don't turn you into points, I'll lose a fortune," Zhang Yong said casually.
Dante sensed from Zhang Yong's words that his partner wasn't being serious, so he stopped talking and adopted a more assertive tone, saying, "Then let me see just how much better you've become since you were in Africa!"
Zhang Yong casually tossed Zhang Ping aside and charged into the opponent's attack range with unbelievable speed. Although Dante was surprised that Zhang Yong's speed was much faster than when he saw him in Africa three years ago, his instincts honed in battle still allowed him to reflexively swing his spear to slash at the afterimage the moment his dynamic vision caught it.
This was not a technique that should be used with a heavy weapon like a cross spear, but Dante was strong and powerful, and such a heavy weapon was no different from an ordinary sword to him. So, moves that were normally impossible to use were just like natural moves in his hands.
Zhang Yong, relying on his instincts, directly blocked the thrusting attack with his spear, and then countered with a slash. But Ding, without thinking, continued to thrust with tremendous force. This fierce and pure power directly twisted Zhang Yong's slashing spear outward. Zhang Yong was speechless at such wild power.
This is truly a case of training for so many years, but to no avail. The basic strength is still so far behind that of such a monster. I'm speechless!
Zhang Yong cursed inwardly. He immediately abandoned his original plan for a fair duel and to use his strength to overpower this guy. Against this kind of guy, he really had to use his killing move and finish the battle quickly!
Originally not planning to fully activate Wings of Light, Zhang Yong went straight to the maximum. As for why he didn't activate the Blazing Armor, it was because it was useless. The Dante on the other side was an old thing tortured by Blazing Armor, with pure basic strength and super-modified defense.
"Die!" The moment Zhang Yong activated his Wings of Light, he used his incredible mobility to escape Dante's attack range. Then, with a high-G arc maneuver, he rushed to Dante's back and fired a full-power spiral gun.
Dante was hit instantly; the terrifying, full-power spiral spear of light unleashed its full power directly onto Dante's breastplate.
"Cough cough cough." As the dust settled, Dante coughed up blood, leaning on his cross spear. At the last moment, he turned around and caught the spiraling spear with his breastplate. The terrifying power almost pierced through Dante's breastplate. Just a hair's breadth away, the chaotic shockwave pierced through his armor and tore Dante to pieces.
However, they were all just a little bit short.
Zhang Yong frowned slightly as he looked at Dante, whose cheeks were now covered in two large gashes.
"Come and fight!" Dante wiped the two bloody gashes from his face and said ferociously to Zhang Yong as if he felt no pain.
Zhang Yong scratched his head, gave the Nightmare Unicorn behind Dante a look, and then Zhang Ping launched the dump truck charge, slamming it hard into Dante's back. The front had double the defense, so even a normal attack couldn't break through, but the back didn't!
Dante sensed the presence of the Nightmare Unicorn as it charged, but with his formidable enemy Zhang Yong at hand and a life-or-death struggle still at hand, he couldn't afford to be distracted and was thus killed on the spot!
Dante, who had just woken up in the Pantheon, was completely bewildered as to how he had suddenly died. It was unbelievable! With his physical strength, the thickness of his armor, and his raw abilities, how could he have been killed by a horse from behind? It was impossible!
"This guy is really troublesome. I can understand why some guys have such a hard time when they encounter high-level shield guards." Zhang Yong shook his head as he watched Dante's corpse gradually glow and dissipate.
For Zhang Yong, Dante is the top-tier version of the Shield Guardian. He can withstand most willpower attacks, has extremely strong physical attributes, and possesses terrifying defense that doubles in the frontal attack. He is purely a statistic player with no mechanics whatsoever, but he is still quite difficult to deal with.
"You can solve it if you put in a little more effort. But Brother Dante is only at the sixth level of fusion, and he doesn't have any strange mechanisms. How could he possibly take you down?" Slavnis said calmly. In his opinion, Zhang Yong was just messing around with Brother Dante. With Zhang Yong's current setup, Slavnis couldn't imagine anyone in this small world being able to take him down.
Honestly, given Zhang Yong's current performance, unless elite veterans really band together to form an elite hunting team of a dozen people, and every step of the process is flawless, Zhang Yong can escape even if he can't win. His current setup is just too balanced.
"It's just a bit of a sigh. Alright, let's keep going. Let's see how many more sixth levels I need." Zhang Yong did some mental calculations and decided to continue his push.
The Roman soldiers who were chasing Huang Tao and his group of veterans quickly regrouped after realizing Actaeon had died. Unfortunately, they were no match for Zhang Yong, who had the ability to manipulate light and shadow and observe the Romans from a great distance. After the Romans regrouped, Zhang Yong immediately delivered a devastating blow that pierced the sky.
That power is so great that, apart from a very few people who can withstand it, everyone else below the seventh level will die!
So when one of these things hits the ground, all you see is a mushroom cloud, and nobody sees anyone!
"I feel like the Grand Martial Arts Competition is no longer worth watching. Zhang Yong is definitely going to win the championship." The old man from the Yuan family started to sow discord among the Wang family of Taiyuan. After all, with Zhang Yong's performance, let alone the veterans from the Wang family who participated in the Grand Martial Arts Competition, even if the Wang family's real trump card came, it would only be a matter of a few moves before they were all dead.
Honestly, Zhang Yong's current strength is truly terrifying. He's too strong; there's simply no way to beat him. Even with all that cheating, the major clans are somewhat frustrated. He's just too strong!
"Things haven't come to a conclusion yet, so let's not make any hasty decisions." Wang Rou replied with a nonchalant expression, as if she didn't care about these matters at all. In reality, seeing Zhang Yong's rampage, Wang Rou was also very anxious. The strength of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was simply too much.
A group of family heads and acting family heads also began to communicate privately via telepathy, after all, Zhang Yong's extraordinary performance was really affecting their mentality.
"Isn't Marquis Chen going to do anything about it?" Deng Tong looked at Chen Xi, who seemed to be deep in thought, with some surprise. Given that such a big commotion had already occurred in the final stage of the Grand Martial Arts Competition, it was rather strange that Chen Xi still seemed indifferent. It shouldn't be like this.
“He won’t care about these things. Even if Zhang Yong smashes through the entire small world and wins the championship, what does it matter to him?” Yuan Sui said with a hint of seriousness. “It’s neither a big picture nor something that affects strategy, so he won’t care.”
"The problem is that if that's the case, there's absolutely no chance for us to be in the top ten," Deng Tong said with some regret, because Zhang Yong was heading in the direction he was heading and would soon encounter the Yuan family's Frost Duo, as well as Rome's Degel. These three guys with White Disaster-type talents were all in the Glacier Zone.
Here, the three even cooperated. Degel helped the two veterans of the Yuan family freeze the Huns to prevent them from escaping, while the Yuan family contributed the corresponding reward. In other words, the head was counted on their behalf, and they would return double the amount of silk awarded by the authorities. Degel said he could accept this.
So the three of them are living quite harmoniously in the glacier area, since there aren't many people there, and even the contestants rarely come here.
Considering Bai Zai's incredibly powerful stats in the polar glacier region, these three guys could definitely be considered to be at the seventh level of refinement. Unfortunately, after witnessing Zhang Yong's incredible performance of killing top experts like slaughtering dogs, the Yuan family had no expectations for the three from the glacier region.
Because we really can't beat them!
"Um, Uncle Yuan, are we just going to wander around here aimlessly?" Wang Pa said to Guang Yuan with a hint of exhaustion. He felt that he was probably doomed this time. As of now, he still hadn't found his boss, Zhao Zhen. You know, Wang Pa had signed a contract with Zhao Zhen, but at this point, they still hadn't reunited. If he said anything unpleasant, his teammates might end up carrying coffins.
However, Wang Pa's safety issue has now been resolved. Although he is a true elite outside, having fallen from the sixth level of the fusion process to the fifth level, he is nothing in this martial arts world. He encountered a demon god before and almost died on the spot. Fortunately, he ran fast and handed the demon god over to a Roman, and then successfully escaped.
Later, he encountered the Xiongnu and was almost killed. If Guangyuan hadn't arrived just in time and turned the Xiongnu into meritorious service, Wang Pa would probably have been eliminated.
After that, Wang Pa followed Guang Yuan Demon Lord. After all, they had fought side by side, and Wang Pa, as a healer, had also treated some of Guang Yuan's injuries. There was no conflict between them, so when Wang Pa explained the situation, Guang Yuan took Wang Pa with him.
After all, Wang Pa was a pretty good doctor, so there was no harm in bringing him along. However, Guang Yuan was also terrible with directions, and the two of them together soon started wandering around aimlessly.
Of course, Guangyuan is strong enough that even if he encounters some strange things while wandering around, he can withstand them. Even if it is a demon god who has undergone eightfold fusion, as long as Guangyuan does not care about the damage to his body and forcibly activates his negative talent, he can still kill it with the superb output of the Ruishi.
Well, the reason Guangyuan dared to do this was because Wang Pa's healing ability was really good. Combined with Guangyuan's low-level super-fast regeneration, most injuries were nothing to Guangyuan.
After wandering around for two days, Wang Pa was a little numb, so he advised Guang Yuan to stop wandering around and sit quietly with his eyes closed, waiting for someone to come to him.
Guangyuan did heed the advice, but he couldn't stay idle, which led to the current situation.
"Hey, there's someone in the sky! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Just as Wang Pa was trying to persuade Guang Yuan to continue resting, he suddenly saw someone riding an incredibly cool mount in the sky. He immediately perked up. Just because the two of them didn't know the way didn't mean that the guy flying in the sky didn't know the way either.
Therefore, the task at hand has become to shoot that flying guy down from the sky!
As for the consequences of doing this, having witnessed Guangyuan's incredible destructive power, Wang Pa was not worried at all. At worst, he would just have a fight. Didn't he understand that the guy next to him, who looked about the same age as him, was a true seventh-level fusion cultivator, super terrifying!
Looking at the sword light flying up in front of him, Zhang Yong was slightly stunned. How should I put it? Ever since he, Zhang Yong, rode the two-winged unicorn nightmare beast, no one had dared to provoke him.
So Zhang Yong, who was originally planning to head straight for his destination, glanced down and thought, "Hmm, kill!"
Today marks our eleventh anniversary. I'll update the main text first, followed by a bonus chapter in a few minutes. There should be more updates this afternoon depending on the situation. If you have any votes, please cast them. I'm really amazing; I've managed to survive this long!
