Chapter 246 Second Bout (Part 4)
To be honest, Liu Xiu initially thought that he was doomed.
That previous exchange of divine powers had proven that he was no match for Wang Mang, though he would never admit it.
However, the tables had now turned…
So what if Wang Mang was powerful?
The heavens were helping him to deal with Wang Mang.
Therefore, he only needed to wait quietly until the heavens finished him off.
At the same time, in the sea of lightning, Wang Mang had already used Bloodthirsty Rage and Super Self-Healing, which was why he was still alive.
The problem was that the lightning bolts seemed endless, and he was basically being tortured to death.
However, as Bloodthirsty Rage’s effect kicked into motion, increasing his killing intent, anger, and strength, he had almost lost his mind.
At this moment, his strength was sufficient to insta-kill Liu Xiu, but the endless bolts of lightning did not relent. Clearly, the heavens had no intention of even letting him approach Liu Xiu.
“Damn the heavens! You want to kill me! Hell no!”
As he roared furiously, Wang Mang’s massive body plunged deep into the ground to escape the lightning.
Thankfully, after he reached a certain depth, the lightning could no longer strike him.
This made Wang Mang ecstatic.
There was still a chance!
He could still kill Liu Xiu!
After reaching a certain depth, he stopped to get his bearings and recover a little.
Using the Tracking Talisman, he determined Liu Xiu’s approximate location, and then quickly made his way back to the surface.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a shocking explosion, Wang Mang’s massive, lava-like body broke out of the ground.
The sudden loud noise scared Liu Xiu, and he quickly turned around and saw Wang Mang’s behemoth body staring coldly at him.
At the same time, the lightning in the sky began to gather again.
However, it would take some time before the lightning to descend, so he had to make the most of this opportunity.
The terrified Liu Xiu cried out, “You…Why are you still alive?”
Wang Mang, who was covered in wounds, laughed sinisterly. “Do you think I can’t kill you just because the heavens are helping you?”
“Do you think this is still your previous life?”
“Do you think the heavens can strike me to death?”
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, Liu Xiu’s face turned pale and his eyes were filled with fear.
He hurriedly knelt down and begged, “Wang Mang, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
“The world is about to change and a disaster is about to descend. If we join forces, we will definitely be able to dominate the entire world!”
Seeing this, Wang Mang sneered.
Even though Liu Xiu was kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, his hands were still secretly forming seals.
This guy was still up to no good!
Thus, Wang Mang opened his mouth and spewed streams of lava at him.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu, who was in the middle of forming a seal, hurriedly slammed his palm onto the ground and shot upward in the sky, barely dodging the attack.
Liu Xiu, who was lucky enough to escape, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
He could tell that Wang Mang was hell-bent on killing him today.
In his anger, Liu Xiu roared with a ferocious expression, “Wang Mang! Don’t force my hand! Otherwise, no one will leave here alive!”
“I will drag you down with me and bury the entire Earth with me!”
Wang Mang sneered sinisterly, “Even if the heavens help you, it’s useless!”
“Let’s see if you have any more tricks up your sleeve.”
As soon as he finished speaking, lightning energy gathered between Wang Mang’s horns again. However, instead of accumulating power to its limits, he quickly cast the Lightning Spell at Liu Xiu.
This was because he was augmented by the effects of Bloodthirsty Rage, which meant that even this attack would be able to kill the weakened Liu Xiu.
Seeing the lightning bolt whistling towards him, Liu Xiu hurriedly dodged and struggled in fear. He did not have the strength to counterattack any more.
Wang Mang then used the Lightning Spell again, but Liu Xiu was agile enough to dodge it again and again.
As he dodged Wang Mang’s attacks, he also began to mutter incantations.
More than ten minutes passed in this manner.
At this moment, Liu Xiu was once again lucky enough to dodge Wang Mang’s Lightning Spell, and was looking around vigilantly, afraid that Wang Mang would suddenly appear again.
This was because Wang Mang had already burrowed into the ground several times.
This was in order to avoid the lightning from the heavens!
Thankfully, as he was in close proximity to Liu Xiu, the heavens did not send a deluge of lightning bolts at him like earlier.
Instead it fired off targeted bolts of lightning whenever an opportunity presented itself.
Liu Xiu was dodging Wang Mang’s Lightning Spells, while Wang Mang was dodging the divine lightning bolts from the heavens.
Despite how frustrating it was, Wang Mang was still determined to kill Liu Xiu!
At this moment, Liu Xiu was looking around vigilantly as he formed a hand seal and chanted.
However, another shocking explosion erupted from the ground not far from him.
Liu Xiu quickly looked over and saw Wang Mang appear in front of him again. Instead of the Lightning Spell, he now saw a sharp, snow-white bone spike hurtling his way!
Seeing this, Liu Xiu frantically tried to dodge, but failed. The bone spike was too fast!
There was a faint sound of air being torn apart.
Then, there was a popping sound, as the bone spike pierced his chest, creating a bowl-sized hole.
Liu Xiu slowly lowered his head and stared blankly at the bloody hole in his chest…
