Chapter 889 - Han Shuo vs Wasir
GDK 889: Han Shuo vs Wasir
Han Shuo could not defeat Tyre, Logue, and Wasir all at once. But if he only had to fight Wasir, Han Shuo was confident that he could win.
The Fringe had always been a place where the person with the biggest fist made the rule. Sometimes, instead of a lengthy futile argument, it was better to let the fists do the talking. From how Han Shuo saw it, Wasir was not just the weakest of the three, but also the most annoying. By fighting Wasir, Han Shuo could demonstrate that he possessed the strength to take Salas’ place in the Omphalos and also kick Wasir’s ass.
Wasir did not expect that Han Shuo would challenge him to a fight. Under the threatening gaze of Han Shuo, Wasir turned from arrogant to hesitant.
Fighting Han Shuo one on one was nowhere in Wasir’s plan. Before the meeting, Wasir, Tyre, and Logue had reached an agreement to gang up against Han Shuo. They thought that Han Shuo would never be able to escape from them if they joined forces. That was why Wasir had spoken to Han Shuo with such contempt.
Tyre, Logue, and Wasir weren’t all that close. In fact, they had always been fighting each other for a bigger share of the Fringe. Tyre seemed very astonished to hear Han Shuo challenge Wasir to a duel without thinking. He stared deeply at Han Shuo for a second before he laughed, “Brother, you are truly filled with heroic spirit. No wonder you have stood out in the Fringe in such little time!”
Tyre did not comment on the challenge Han Shuo issued at Wasir and he showed no intention to de-escalate the situation.
A thought crossed Logue’s mind. He turned to the hesitant Wasir and mocked, “Wasir, you ain’t afraid of him, are ya?”
Wasir was enraged for he understood what Tyre and Logue’s intentions were.
Tyre and Logue did not have a clear idea of Han Shuo’s true strength. Although all the Sovereigns were present when Han Shuo fought Salas, the battle was just too brief to tell anything for sure. Besides, as Salas had been fighting Ossora prior to that, they could not determine Han Shuo’s strength without a wide margin of error.
The chilling Demonic Blades constructed with fingernails as its base were terrifyingly lethal once they were filled with demonic yuan.
<i>Ting!</i> a sharp, clear ringing sound sounded when the Demonic Blade on Han Shuo’s left middle finger made contact with the ice on Wasir’s chest.
Wasir did not expect that Han Shuo could move so fast. He only saw a dazzling flash before Han Shuo was right in front of him. While he was moving to intercept the attack, his chest was struck.
<i>He’s faster than I am!</i> concluded Wasir.
Wasir’s mastery of the energy of ice was indeed profound. Although Han Shuo managed to take the first hit, the incredibly incisive blade did not manage to destroy that thick layer of ice defending Wasir. It had only managed to scrape off a few inches of ice.
Although Wasir was a little slow, he had still managed to land attacks on Han Shuo. He thrust the two swords he made from ice at Han Shuo’s chest.
<i>Ting Ting!</i> An enormous force suddenly erupted from Han Shuo’s chest and Wasir was flung backward.
Sovereign Tyre, Logue, and Ossora who were watching from the sidelines suddenly opened their eyes wide and gasped in disbelief!
They could very clearly see that Han Shuo did not form any defensive barrier around his body and he wasn’t wearing any divine armor. There was just a thin, dark warrior’s gown over his skin.
This meant that Wasir’s strike on Han Shuo’s chest was a direct hit. There was nothing to absorb or dissipate the formidable force, other than Han Shuo’s skin and flesh.
There were all kinds of gods who cultivated in all kinds of Fundamental Forces all over Elysium. Some of them possessed extremely tough divine bodies. However, they had never seen any being who could resist an attack without boundary, divine armor, or any defensive measures, but with just the most basic toughness of their body.
Tyre and Logue were astounded!
They were certain that if it was they themselves who had taken this strike of Wasir’s without any defensive measures alongside their bare bodies, they would have been severely injured!
They were not aware of any being on Elysium who possessed a body of such toughness that could directly sustain such a mighty blow without suffering any injury. Perhaps even an Overgod with the Quintessence could not do so.
Tyre and Logue showed mixed emotions in their eyes. They became more and more amazed by Han Shuo.
