Ultragenic Warlord

Chapter 786: Fighting the Greenskin King

Sun Xiaowu frowned. Surely the king wasn't serious—the strength he had shown far exceeded that of the marshal.

Sun Xiaowu didn't know what to make of the king's strength. Was he truly a strong warrior, or an actor as he claimed to be? No, why not both? Couldn't he be both a king and an oddball actor?

Sun Xiaowu got into a battle-ready stance. "Oddball king, I challenge you to a fight!"

The greenskin fighters on the battlefield were all upset by the cavalier way Sun Xiaowu was referring to their king.

"He's dead meat!"

"No human can get away with such insolence, not even these so-called warlords! He's nothing more than an ant compared to our king!"

"The king of the greenskins can't be defeated within the greenskin world!"

The greenskins all raised their arms and hollered, "Our king is unrivaled!"

"Our king is unrivaled!"

"Our king is unrivaled!"

"Very good. Thank you for your support, everyone! I'll kill this insolent human and hang his head on the wall to memorialize the dead marshal and greenskin fighters!" The king of the greenskins swung his axe, evoking a stream of purple energy that covered half the skies.

"[Golden Divide: Soar]!" Thousands of Sun Xiaowu's clones raised their hands as one. Golden radiance lit up the battlefield, forming a sea of resplendent gold.

As the two auras clashed, a hurricane spawned on the battlefield. The golden light shot out all across the battlefield, sending the greenskin fighters yelling as they scurried for shelter.

"So you do have some skill, after all!" The king of the greenskins swung his axe again, breaking apart Sun Xiaowu's defense and sending a stream of purple flames toward Sun Xiaowu.

"[Goldenscale Palm]!" Sun Xiaowu clenched his fists. His arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin. Golden radiance lit up the battlefield.

An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu's body, sending frightening shockwaves of energy through the air.

The king of the greenskins smiled coldly. "Do you think an attack of this magnitude can injure me?"

Just as the king drew close to Sun Xiaowu, Sun Xiaowu smiled. "[Blinding Flash: Self-Destruct]!"

Sun Xiaowu's clones suddenly radiated with golden light so bright the entire battlefield was illuminated. The clones that had been scattered across the battlefield all launched themselves at the king of the greenskins as they exploded one after another, sending golden projectiles flying all across the battlefield.

Sun Xiaowu's [Goldenscale Palm] had only been a distraction for the king; he had been planning to self-destruct his clones all along.

The king of the greenskins defended himself with purple flame, but his defense faltered against the likes of thousands of clones detonating simultaneously. His skin turned black in patches, but that difference was hardly noticeable on account of his dark coloration.

The enraged king of the greenskins glared at Sun Xiaowu as a pillar of purple light rose from him. He swung his axe again at Sun Xiaowu.

Sun Xiaowu's expression turned serious. "As expected of a king of the realm—even my clones' self-destruction didn't hurt you much. I'll have to use my trump card, then! [Adamantine Aegis: Martial God]!"

Golden runes emerged from Sun Xiaowu's body and revolved around him as his aura grew stronger and stronger. As the golden runes merged with his genetic energy, Sun Xiaowu transformed into a mecha over ten meters tall. Runes decorated his body, glowing behind his back like a burning sun.

Sun Xiaowu raised both his hands, as did the mecha. He clasped both hands together and blocked the swing of the greenskin king's axe with brute force, shocking his opponent.

Sun Xiaowu was likewise astounded. From the king's attack, he could sense the weight of an entire world. As expected of a king of the realm—the greenskin king was able to impart the force of the world itself behind his attacks.?Hold on—the weight of the world? In that case, the axe itself...

Upon seeing that his attack had been ineffective, the king of the realm raised his axe once more and swung it at Sun Xiaowu from the side.

"[Golden Divide]!" With his arm as a blade, Sun Xiaowu blocked the greenskin king's strike.

The king was once again stupefied to see his attack blocked by Sun Xiaowu's golden glow. He continued swinging his axe. The purple light emanating from it sent ripples of energy through the air and striking the ground, but Sun Xiaowu blocked all those swings by hardening his body and using his own arms as blades. The two combatants temporarily fought to a standstill.

The king's purple axe and Sun Xiaowu's golden arms clashed against each other time and again, slicing apart the battlefield with explosions of energy.

The king of the greenskins, fighting at full strength, didn't have the attention to spare for the rest of his kin, who had retreated at full force to avoid being caught in the aftermath of the two combatants' attacks. Even so, huge numbers of greenskin fighters had been struck down, and their blood dyed the battlefield red.

The two combatants fought more and more fiercely, neither willing to give in to the other.

The king of the greenskins lifted his axe high above his head. Purple energy gathered around the blade, flaring like a violet sun that lit up the sky, filled with boundless vitality.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!" Layers of dense golden scales appeared on Sun Xiaowu's arms, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light.

As Sun Xiaowu attacked, so too did the golden mecha. In the mecha's hands, the strength of the technique rose to another level entirely, one that Sun Xiaowu himself would have trouble matching.

The ground quaked, space splintered, and the entire world seemed to tremble. A golden fist clashed against the violet sun—and the golden glow won out.

The king of the greenskins, frowning, used a stronger attack, forming another violet sun above his blade as the axe reached the apex of its swing. It exploded into slashes of purple light, which shot toward Sun Xiaowu like a meteor shower...
