386: As expected of a flying warrior, he is reliable in doing things.
Duan Wushuang was incredibly confident at this moment.
Previously, Chen Du's Martial Skill at Entrance to the Microscopic 21% had indeed astonished him, but it wasn't insurmountable. He was, after all, a Sky Soaring Warrior; it was impossible for him to be cornered by an Advanced Martial Artist to the point of helplessness.
As Humanoid life forms who need weapons to maximize the power of their Martial Skills, their weaknesses are well-known.
Although Chen Du was strong, once he lost his weapon, it was like a fierce tiger having its teeth pulled, greatly reducing his threat.
Not only that, but the opponent's strength was temporarily boosted by the Fifth Secret Treasure. Although he didn't know how long it would last, it was undoubtedly clear.
The victor was decided!
As a Sky Soaring Warrior, Duan Wushuang winning against an Advanced Martial Artist by self-destruction and stalling would be humiliating to speak of.
But who would know?
Only the one who survived the Go Board would know what truly happened inside!
Looking at Chen Du, who remained silent with his head bowed, Duan Wushuang, with a sinister chuckle, spoke again:
"Also, let me tell you some good news: our Dire Wolf Civilization can not only achieve equivalent explosions, but also regenerate!"
After speaking, he let out a long howl, "Ahhh!"
Below his two arms, the palms and wrists that he had just self-destructed regenerated.
"Huff huff..."
Duan Wushuang's breathing noticeably quickened after his hands grew back, indicating that this regeneration ability consumed a significant amount of his stamina.
But Duan Wushuang didn't care now, because Chen Du was a trapped beast, easily manipulated.
This was evident from the moment his opponent's hands were blown off by him.
As for why he chose to regrow his hands now, it was because Duan Wushuang didn't want Xiao Fan to see this scene—killing an Advanced Martial Artist, yet having to sacrifice his hands.
This would undoubtedly make Xiao Fan question his strength and affect the unshakeable position of Sky Soaring Warriors in the hearts of these Advanced Martial Artists.
Duan Wushuang's height was 2.3 meters. From the flying combat earlier to landing now, he had always maintained an overlooking perspective.
He looked at Chen Du, who remained silent with his head bowed, assuming his opponent was in despair.
He then reached out and grabbed his opponent's head, slowly lifting him up:
"Let me see what you truly look like beneath that ugly mask."
"I've never seen an Earthly Fiend before, I'm a bit curious."
Duan Wushuang said leisurely. There was no time limit within the Go Board, and he also had no time limit on his forcibly enhanced strength. His opponent had also had his hands blown off by him and could no longer wield a weapon.
All signs indicated that this Genius Earthly Fiend posed absolutely no threat to him.
"Golden?"
Oh no... Duan Wushuang was momentarily stunned the instant he saw Chen Du's eyes. Although his opponent was wearing a mask, his eyes were not covered. He remembered that during their fight, his opponent's eyes were not golden.
But it was too late. As he spoke, Duan Wushuang also reacted.
This was his opponent's attack!
Before the word 'oh no' could fully form in his mind, Chen Du's golden light burst towards him like an uncontrollable flood!
Zero distance, War Stomp!
After his hands were blown off, Chen Du could still fight with the Hand of Atim, but that would consume too much.
The Hand of Atim's consumption was calculated by the second, and Duan Wushuang was not the kind of character who could be killed quickly.
The dual consumption of Promotion and the Hand of Atim would put great pressure on Chen Du, and his opponent would surely sense this.
If Duan Wushuang had been a little smarter and chosen to avoid combat directly, then Chen Du would truly have died here today.
However, Chen Du, with his vast combat experience, instantly thought of a countermeasure.
The hunter often appears in the form of prey!
Chen Du could roughly guess what Duan Wushuang was thinking. From his opponent's perspective, he was indeed in an invincible position, especially since Duan Wushuang was a Sky Soaring Warrior.
Furthermore, his opponent's goal from beginning to end was not to kill him at the fastest speed.
All these preconditions allowed Chen Du to roughly judge that his opponent would most likely not directly take his life.
The result was as Chen Du expected; his opponent was careless.
However, even if Duan Wushuang wanted to kill Chen Du directly, he could still fight fiercely with the Hand of Atim.
It's just that the probability of winning in the end would definitely not be as high as this method.
Although there was Skysoaring suppression, Chen Du's Mental Energy was as high as level 24.7, and with both charge-up and zero-distance, immobilizing Duan Wushuang for a few seconds was no problem.
Moreover, his opponent had foolishly used his regeneration ability. This ability, like Promotion, had a well-known drawback.
That is, it consumes a large amount of stamina.
The act of self-destructing his palms and wrists would already consume a lot of stamina. Duan Wushuang's best approach would have been to attack Chen Du with his feet, and after killing him, recover his hands in a safe environment.
This premature action, without a doubt, weakened his defense.
However, Chen Du could also guess the reason: he probably didn't want Xiao Fan, who was outside, to see his pyrrhic victory.
No one expected that Xiao Fan, who did nothing outside the Go Board, silently influenced this battle, to a certain extent, its outcome.
The immobilization time was limited, and Chen Du dared not waste even 0.1 seconds.
Although Duan Wushuang was immobilized, his hand was still gripping Chen Du's head, which meant Chen Du himself couldn't move. But it didn't matter; the Hand of Atim now had a third hand.
A milky-white arm extended from Chen Du's back, quickly lengthening towards the ying long sword that had fallen to the ground.
The Hand of Atim was equivalent to a weapon. Using it to fight could bring his Martial Skill to Entrance to the Microscopic 21%, but it wasn't sharp enough to achieve a one-hit kill.
Or rather, Chen Du couldn't achieve a one-hit kill because he didn't have Martial Skills similar to fist techniques.
The Hand of Atim could unleash Crescent Sky Rush, but there was no time to charge up now, nor the doubling effect of the ying long sword, so its power would definitely be insufficient.
The Hand of Atim, gripping the ying long sword, used all its strength to stab towards Duan Wushuang's left eye.
Pfft!
Without any surprise, the long sword instantly pierced through his opponent's left eye and the brainstem behind it.
With a damaged brainstem, most life forms cannot survive, and the Dire Wolf Alien Race was clearly within this scope.
A "crack!" sounded, as if in response to Chen Du.
A sound like glass cracking suddenly emanated from all around.
Countless turtle-shell-like cracks appeared in the blue barrier above and on the Go Board below.
Chen Du understood that this was a sign that Duan Wushuang was already dead or about to die.
To guard against any possible death throes, Chen Du pulled out the long sword from the left eye and then stabbed it into the right eye, repeating this process, a hundred swords per second.
He attempted to ensure that his opponent was completely dead before recovering from the War Stomp.
Due to the previous explosion, Chen Du was afraid his opponent might have some mutual destruction method, such as igniting his Life Ignition Cord at the last moment to instantly kill him with some flashy move.
However, this possibility was almost nonexistent, as the Go Board had already collapsed by half.
According to the rules, Duan Wushuang should have already died. The reason he was still holding Chen Du's head motionless was not because he still had strength, but because the War Stomp's immobilization status had not yet been lifted.
A few seconds later, the Go Board completely shattered, and Chen Du and Duan Wushuang reappeared in their previous location.
Xiao Fan looked at Duan Wushuang, who was holding Chen Du's head with one hand, and revealed a satisfied smile.
"As expected of a Sky Soaring Warrior, he's reliable!"
