Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Sharp King also wanted to go all out to knock Lu Yunhe away, but the difference in their raw strength wasn't that significant. After being slightly pushed back, he continued to chase after him.

Lu Yunhe was like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to shake off, which made Jianfeng Wang momentarily speechless and completely lose his initial enthusiasm.

"How did you cultivate to the level of King-level Immortal? You don't even have the strength to kill people!"

Lu Yunhe encouraged him, and the latter indeed forced himself to perk up for a while, but after fighting for more than ten days, he gave up again.

"Sharp King, don't you want to break through to the level of King? If you can't even persevere when you encounter such a small difficulty, how can you break through to the level of Universe Venerable?"

Lu Yunhe either encouraged or provoked, and although he was the one being beaten, he was actually mobilizing the beating man's enthusiasm.

This kind of behavior is probably unique among the many who have been granted the title of King and Immortal.

Chapter 227 War Mad King

Two and a half years!

Sharp King had been training with Lu Yunhe for over two and a half years before he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?"

Sharp King was filled with regret. He should have known better than to swing that knife. Why did he have to provoke him?

For the past two and a half years, Sharp King has endured immense suffering, with no moment to relax. Whenever he becomes distracted during a battle, his opponents will find various ways to rouse him.

Even when he was weak, Sharp King had never experienced such a high-intensity, high-pressure, and highly concentrated battle.

"Whoaaah!"

Having made up his mind, Sharp King instantly abandoned all distracting thoughts, and the blades in his hands became more solemn than ever before.

"seal up…"

The Sharp King's twin blades wove together in this void as if knitting a sweater, the black blade light drawing lines in the space, completely isolating this void from the primordial universe.

"I haven't squeezed you dry yet!"

Seeing Jianfeng Wang's movements, Lu Yunhe's eyes lit up. It seemed that he hadn't pushed his opponent to the limit yet and still had many trump cards up his sleeve.

"Golden Embroidery!"

Lu Yunhe concentrated his power on the tip of his sword, without leaking the slightest bit of his aura, and then suddenly thrust out hundreds of sword strikes.

It is impossible to know which is stronger, the spear or the shield, but over a long period of time, offense outweighs defense.

The spatial cage meticulously woven by Sharp King only managed to hold Lu Yunhe back for two instants before it was pierced.

However, two moments were enough. Without the slightest hesitation, Sharp King turned around and sprinted away, his four legs constantly treading on the void, pushing his movement technique to its limit.

"Run? Do you think you can escape!"

Faced with Sharp King's escape, Lu Yunhe remained unmoved. He slammed his left hand back heavily, blasting open the shattered spatial cage and giving himself an explosive boost.

"Swordsmanship!"

Then, he put his hands together with the sword, becoming one with it, and shot out with the sword.

To be a true strongman, one must have no weaknesses in any aspect; one must excel in combat, escape, and even pursuit.

Otherwise, if someone weaker than you can easily escape during a real fight, can you really be considered strong?

As the Sharp King, who was constantly traversing mountains and rivers ahead, felt the intense and dazzling sword light, his heart trembled instantly.

"Never let them catch up!"

Sharp King's mind raced instantly as he frantically racked his brains for a way to shake off the enemies behind him.

At this moment, the Sharp King's dedication even surpassed that of when he created his own secret technique.

Then, the figure of the Sharp King sometimes drew a "Z" shape in mid-air, sometimes swung out a "S" shape, and sometimes even rushed directly into the ground to dig a hole.

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, he became more interested and devoted himself to learning Sharp King's escape methods, striving to catch up with him.

There are always people who better than you.

Sharp King tried every possible method, even setting up countless traps along the way, but Lu Yunhe always managed to catch up with him.

The figures of Sharp King and Lu Yunhe chasing each other caused chaos throughout the Dark Continent.

Sometimes, when two Marquis-level squads are fighting, two King-level Immortals will suddenly intervene, instantly scaring the two squads into scattering and fleeing.

The sight of the two chasing each other became a spectacle in a corner of the Dark Continent.

……

"Why exactly?"

Sharp King was somewhat indignant. Many times he had seen that the other party was about to catch up, but in the end he was always blocked by the other party.

"Of course it's because I didn't use my full strength!"

Lu Yunhe was also impressed by Jianfeng Wang's escape methods, and many times he had actually managed to shake him off.

However, once he realized that he was about to be left behind, Lu Yunhe immediately used the amplification technique to increase his speed by one level.

There's no way around it; unless the Sharp King runs directly into the Dark Universe, it's impossible for him to truly shake off an existence that surpasses even the peak of the King-level realm.

However, entering the dark universe is not so easy, given the constant interference and influence from others.

During his pursuit of the Sharp Edge King, Lu Yunhe also learned many ways for the Immortal King to escape, as well as how to prevent the opponent from escaping, adding another page to his experience book.

"Now, there are only two paths left!"

Sharp King thought to himself, the first thing to do is to burn his divine power and unleash the power of the peak of the King-level, and then shake off that hateful human.

However, burning divine power is almost a desperate measure, and Sharp King doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"besides……"

Sharp King glanced at a location given by his allies, pondered for a moment, and then turned and charged to the right.

boom……

Its aura, belonging to the level of a King-level Immortal, rampaged through the sky, causing the Marquis-level Immortals along the way to scatter and not daring to block its path.

On a small mountain peak, a large snake, over 200 meters thick and about ten kilometers long, is slowly resting on the peak.

The giant snake has bluish-green scales with numerous ring-shaped patterns on its dense scales, numbering in the tens of thousands. It has six wings, all of which are fascial and fleshy, and a single eye with a black pupil.

Its enormous size, when upright, is taller than any mountain on Earth.

"Ok?"

Just then, the giant snake's head, which had been lying flat, suddenly stood up, looking ahead with a puzzled expression.

Ahead, a powerful expert at the King level was fleeing at top speed, as if some ferocious beast was chasing him. No, for a King level expert, ferocious beasts are nothing.

At the same time, Sharp King also saw the huge snake body below, and his face instantly lit up with joy. He roared, "Black Serpent King, prepare to die!"

Sharp-Edged King brandished his twin blades and charged straight at Black Serpent King.

"?"

Upon hearing the roar of the Sharp King, the Black Serpent King's one eye immediately showed a question mark. He hadn't provoked any kings recently, so why was he suddenly being attacked?

The Black Serpent King belongs to the royal lineage of the demon race, the "Ziqian Wanshe," and his strength has reached the high level of the King-level, which is inferior to that of the Sharp-Edged King.

They are even stronger due to their size advantage.

Just as the Black Serpent King was feeling a bit confused, he suddenly saw the figure chasing after the Sharp-Edged King and realized that it was a case of shifting the blame.

"Heh, trying to shift the blame!"

The Black Serpent King was somewhat disdainful. Its six wings flapped slightly, and its massive tail lashed out, striking the Sharp King that was charging towards it.

Faced with such a disgusting fellow, the Black Serpent King did not mind joining forces with the pursuers to attack him, making him understand that a king's title cannot be humiliated.

"I've already secured this guy for you, the stronger one behind!"

The Black Serpent King shouted back, but when he saw the figure coming, his one black eye narrowed slightly, and he regretted it a little.

"Human Race!"

The Black Serpent King snorted coldly. The four races in the outer battlefield all disliked each other and wished they could wipe out the other three races.

There was no other way; the human race, the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race had borders on the same territory, and they were killing each other like crazy, so the hatred snowballed and grew bigger and bigger.

"Human, I've found another King-level expert for you. Stop bothering me."

Sharp-Edged King shouted loudly at Lu Yunhe, then ran away without looking back.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunhe wasn't interested in the giant snake and chased after it in the direction Sharp King had gone.

call out…

Just then, a huge tail suddenly lashed out, momentarily blocking Lu Yunhe's path.

"Sorry, my tail is a little itchy!"

After flicking its tail, the Black Serpent King lazily lay down again.

"Although I don't know why you're chasing that alien race, if we don't take action soon, they'll really get away."

Although he disliked the human race, the Black Serpent King had no intention of fighting the King-level powerhouses at this moment; he would just annoy them a little.

Lu Yunhe took a deep look at the giant snake below, then chased after it again.

Lu Yunhe wasn't particularly interested in the giant snake below. The reason he kept pestering Sharp King was because there were indeed many things he could learn from the other man.

After all, the level of skill in swordsmanship and saber techniques does not entirely depend on strength.

Despite being constantly chased by Lu Yunhe, Jianfeng Wang is undoubtedly among the top immortals in terms of swordsmanship.

But what should Lu Yunhe learn from the Green Snake King on the other side? Should he learn to wag his tail?

It can only be said to increase some combat experience and make up for some deficiencies in the use of skills or secret techniques.

Although the battlefield outside the region is vast, finding a suitable opponent is also very difficult.

After all, the demon race relies on their physical strength, the insect race on their combined attacks, and the mechanical race on their technology. It would be very difficult to encounter another weapon master at the King level.

……

"why?"
