Absolute Choice 579 Full Moon Wheel

This was further accentuated when the green-skinned youth, Tianjie, spoke. It was as though every being in the world had held their breaths as the air permeated a bone-biting chill.

"It's said that you humans experience a calamity that wipes out your race every three thousand years. Oh, This King recalls it to be called the Apocalypse?"

The corners of Tianjie's mouth suffused a taunting sneer. "Every time the Apocalypse comes, an Infernal King known as the Original Sin of Calamity will first descend and kill all the experts of humanity. Following that, troops known as the Seven Deadly Sins will wipe out the remaining weak humans who had just lost their experts and engage in a slaughter of the entire race.

"This King finds what the Original Sin of Calamity does rather interesting. So This King plans to bring forward the humans' Apocalypse! After This King single-handedly kills all of the experts of you humans, the Transcendent army will enter the human world and began a crushing slaughter, wiping humanity of its existence!

"This King will be the Apocalypse for you humans! Hahaha!"

Tianjie's belligerent laughter made One-Pun frown involuntarily.

"You will probably be disappointed. The experts in this world far exceed your imagination," said One-Pun in a deep voice. He could sense the Tianjie's strength. It was a strength that exceeded his imaginations, but One-Pun did not believe that Tianjie was equipped with the capabilities to wipe out all of humanity's experts.

This was because he knew of an existence with unfathomable strength in Gaia.

Tianjie only made him feel suppressed, but the girl name Kali, who he had once chanced upon in Gaia, left him without the courage to even draw his sword.

"You haven't replied This King's answer."

Tianjie's cold gaze locked onto One-Pun as killing intent suffused. He said coldly, "Are you considered an expert among humans?"

"No," One-Pun answered.

Compared to Kali, he was a weakling. That purple-haired girl was truly an expert in this world.

"Okay."

Tianjie gave One-Pun a contemptuous look and looked away. He turned to head towards the distant city.

He had no interest in weaklings.

Tianjie cast his gaze afar and saw a flourishing district in the city.

"Are those human cities? Compared to the dirty ruins where the Transcendents live in, it's truly like night and day. You humans stole heaven from the Transcendents and banished the Transcendents to hell!"

Tianjie's eyes flashed with anger as he said coldly, "If This King reduces this beautiful city into a desolate hell, would human experts proactively seek out This King to send themselves to their death? Perhaps, this isn't a bad idea."

As Tianjie said that, he walked towards the city.

"Halt."

One-Pun said coldly, "I can't pretend as though I didn't hear what you just said."

Tianjie turned his head and gave a supercilious look. "This King has no interest in weaklings."

Weng!

One-Pun suddenly drew his Moon Reflection Sword from his scabbard, his sword humming.

Compared to the other Heroes who treated being a 'Hero' as a career or a job, One-Pun was a Hero solely because of passion.

"Guardianship" was his Sword Truth. He protected those he cared for, as well as innocent victims.

Uninhibited words like destroying a city were not something he could turn a deaf ear to.

"Somewhat interesting."

Tianjie felt the raging Sword Intent and pricked up his brows slightly. "Fine, This King can take the opportunity to warm up."

As his voice faded, Tianjie vanished suddenly with a bang. The ground he was standing on cracked instantly as a figure swept towards him. Nearly instantly, Tianjie had appeared in front of One-Pun.

When he arrived in front of One-Pun, Tianjie suddenly leaped and kicked in midair. It came bearing down with overwhelming strength, to the point of compressing air till it burst.

One-Pun reacted extremely quickly and raised his sword to parry the attack. The kick which delivered the crushing force struck the blade's edge.

Boom!

Instantly, a hurricane stirred in a hundred-meter radius of the collision. The ground cracked as rubble flew. It was as though a heavy explosive had detonated on the spot.

One-Pun raised his sword in defense. His protective Sword Truth conjured an impenetrable barrier. It was something even an atomic bomb could not destroy. Although this kick was powerful, it failed to perturb the S Class Hero's Guardian Sword Truth.

However, what alarmed One-Pun was that the Moon Reflection Sword was a divine weapon that could even slice diamond. Tianjie's foot which was not covered in any protective gear suffered no injuries despite colliding directly with the Moon Reflection Sword's blade!

How could there be such terrifying physical strength?

"Oh? Compared to destruction, your sword arts seem to be more focused on defense. Very well. This has finally piqued This King's interest a little. Defend, defend like your life counts on it. Let's hope that your defense can last till the end of This King's warm up!"

Tianjie laughed maniacally as his speeding body phased about at lightning speed. It was almost impossible to capture his figure with the naked eye.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

During his high-speed motion, Tianjie attacked from different angles. Each kick lashed down on the Guardian Sword Truth's barrier, each strike like the explosion of a bomb. In a radius of a hundred meters, there was no land left intact.

"What terrifying speed and explosive power. Just one's body alone can reach this level?"

Although One-Pun's defense remained steadfast, he was alarmed. This was because Tianjie's high-speed motion and explosive kicks did not rely on Psionic Abilities or Superpowers. Instead, it was the purest of physical technique.

It was a culmination of honing a physical body such that it was as fast as lightning. The kicks were like a barrage of attacks, making them harder than diamond.

This was not a physical hardness that a human was capable of. No, even One-Pun had never seen calamity fiends or Astral Calamity Beast having such abnormal physical hardness.

The highly-explosive kicks lashed out again, but One-Pun did not defend the entire time. He was constantly on the lookout for a chance to strike. At that instant, he found it.

In the split second Tianjie retracted his foot, One-Pun demonstrated the strength of a world-class Sword Master. He held his blade horizontally as he did a side slash with his body turned. The sword blade swept up a hurricane as the sword beam sliced out an arc, as though a moon had been drawn out in the sky!

Sword Technique! Full Moon Wheel!

This strike was something even God of Swords, Jian Xilai, had to face with all seriousness!

The Full Moon Wheel covered all of Tianjie's possible routes of retreat, leaving no blind spots behind. No matter how fast he was, there was no way to dodge. The sharp sword aura precisely struck the youth's green skin.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

However, the sound of meat being sliced did not sound. Instead, it produced the sound of a metallic collision. All it did was send him retreating a few steps.

Tianjie found his footing a distance away as his supercilious and languid gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp.

"From the looks of it, This King has underestimated you."

Full Moon Wheel had made Tianjie turn serious for once.

Tianjie suddenly opened his mouth to suck in a breath of air. His thin body suddenly inflated and bulked up. His arms and thighs which were without any muscles instantly bulged with firm muscles.

His light-green skin also suddenly turned a shade darker.

Tianjie had used a power unique to the Transcendents. He sneered and said, "To make This King use the Transcendental First Transformation, you would have died a worthy death."
