The spectators whispered among themselves as they engaged in wild speculation.
Meng Lei spoke. “Old fella, when I first stepped foot onto Dragon Island, those half-deities were as domineering as you are here, but they ended up in the depths of the island forever!”
The old high priest’s voice boomed like thunder. “Young one, this is the Titan Empire, not Dragon God Empire, and this old guy isn’t any Dragon Island half-deity!”
“The outcome will all be the same.” Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Old high priest, since you’re the elder, I’ll let you strike first in case anyone says that I’m bullying the elderly.”
“How audacious!!”
The old high priest glared on as he blasted out a punch, while Meng Lei responded with a punch too.
Snap!
Both fists met like a thunderstruck!
The violent blast waves swept across the vicinity, causing the Thunder Titan Emperor and the beautiful Titan Empress to fly off the pillars.
“Hurry!”
“Hurry and leave this place!”
“We can’t stay here!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor was panicking as he pulled the Titan Empress heading afar, fearing their lives if they escaped too slowly.
Most spectators escaped far away. They could watch a half-deity battle, but not that close. Otherwise, dying would be in vain.
“Hey kid, what are you doing?” Bubbles kicked Barham and shouted, “Do you have a death wish? Let’s go then!”
“Yes, sir!”
Barhem reacted fast and left quickly after mumbling a ‘thanks’.
“The young nowadays...”
Bubbles shook his head and looked at the two figures in the sky with a heavy gaze.
Can Master defeat the old high priest?
Frankly speaking, he was not sure at all.
“Come again!”
After a punch, Meng Lei’s blood started to boil as he initiated another attack.
No Gods-Slaying Spear.
No Hammer of Destruction.
No blood-colored machete.
No Innate Special Ability.
Just the simple and crude fists!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The two figures kept on clashing and splitting. Even the sky was broken up for a short while, creating space-time rifts one after the other.
While the two of them moved in between the riffs, the space-time rifts mercilessly sliced onto their bodies, giving the spectators goosebumps.
If it were them, they would have been sliced into pieces by the space-time rifts, yet Meng Lei and the old high priest completely ignored the ravaging rifts’ effects.
“So this is the power of a half-deity?” The spectators were amazed.
Boom, boom, boom!
After some fierce rounds of fighting, both of them were tied without anyone having a clear advantage over the other.
“This old high priest is that strong?”
“I knew the old high priest was very powerful, didn’t expect him to be this powerful!”
“Rightly so! When my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather was in his infancy, the old high priest was already the holy temple’s high priest. How is he not extraordinary?”
The power that the old high priest had displayed was unthinkable to the spectators. They had only known that the priest had become the holy temple’s high priest from a really long time ago.
Now that they had seen how mighty the old high priest was, they felt that they were seeing the Sweeper Monk who could step over Qiao Feng of the North and beat up Murong of the South1!
Boom!
After another series of clashes, they stopped suddenly and looked at each other from a distance.
Meng Lei seemed carefree in his robes, while the old high priest was calm and expressionless.
“You’re pretty powerful, old man.” Meng Lei praised, “Indeed stronger than those half-deities of Dragon Island. They couldn’t even last one round against me.”
“It’s rare and valuable for such a young man to have such power.” The old high priest said coldly, “Let me advise you one last time, the Titan Empire isn’t the place for you to barge in and horse around. Leave immediately before you regret!”
“Leave? Your Titan Empire hijacked my stuff, and you’re still so stubborn. If I leave just like that, where do I hide my face?” Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Old high priest, let me also advise you, hand over the riches of the Chimeras, and I’ll treat it like nothing has happened. Or else, I won’t stop till you’re dead.”
“You’re too presumptuous young one!” The old high priest roared, “I had been merciful just now since you failed to appreciate such kindness, don’t blame me for being cruel!”
“Wow, is this a coincidence? I held back too!” Meng Lei smiled slightly.
“Then we’ll see our true power!” The old priest snorted coldly. Golden lightning bolts burst out around his body, and his black hair exploded outward while his aura skyrocketed.
“Die!”
The old priest turned into a bolt of golden lightning and flashed before Meng Lei, as a fist shrouded in golden thunderbolt came crashing toward him.
This punch was quick to the extreme, way faster than before.
Yet, strangely it missed the target as Meng Lei vanished right before the old priest’s eyes!
“Eh?” The old priest exclaimed as he heard Meng Lei’s voice from behind. “Old fella, forgot to tell you, my greatest strength was never my physique.”
The old high priest snorted and turned around to strike another punch, missing completely again.
“Too slow old fella!” Meng Lei appeared on the right mysteriously while holding a black war hammer, the divine weapon—Hammer of Destruction!
Crack!
Meng Lei swung the Hammer of Destruction at the old high priest’s chin. With the crisp cracking sound, the old priest flew off instantly.
Meng Lei followed like a shadow and appeared silently behind the old high priest for a second blow to the back of his head.
Crack!
The old high priest’s skull cracked open instantly, and blood spurted out like a fountain. The poor old man could not even make a noise as he died instantly.
“Down you go, old fella!” Meng Lei appeared above and stomped.
Boom!
The old high priest became a meteorite
