Chapter 802: The Steadfast One

Six Rime’s heart had been stabbed. It wasn’t completely penetrated, but Medicine C wouldn’t work. It would delay her death at best.

Azure Dragon scowled. Ignoring Six Rime’s rejection, he pushed all the medicine into Six Rime’s body.

He knew it was a waste. He had come to the conclusion based on her body temperature, heartbeat, and energy condition: Six Rime wouldn’t live.

Even so, Azure Dragon would delay her death and restore her injured heart as much as possible. Then, perhaps, the resurrection pill she had taken in advance would work.

Even if it didn’t, Equivalent Exchange would bring her back for sure.

Vermilion Bird was sent on a secret mission. Once she was back, she would be willing to save Six Rime. And once her Equivalent Exchange reached level 8, she should be able to do that without falling unconscious for a year.

Six Rime stared at Azure Dragon weakly and calmly. “I’m sorry...Elder...for disappointing you...”

Azure Dragon laid Six Rime on the ground gingerly. Gaze determined, he said seriously, “Stay strong, Six Rime. Don’t die. This is an order.”

Six Rime didn’t say anything. She blinked slightly with a pale face. Wearing a special ring, her right hand slowly balled into a fist. She would follow the order and live as long as possible, fighting to the last moment of her life.

When Azure Dragon rose to his feet, Gao Yang had just brought Ke Yo back and hidden the unconscious girl somewhere safe.

When Gao Yang turned to Azure Dragon, there was only blazing hatred in his eyes. He hadn’t activated Psychic Armor.

“Before I kill you, Azure Dragon, I have a question for you,” Gao Yang said icily.

“Ask.” Azure Dragon seemed unfazed.

Gao Yang took a step forward. “The night of the New Year’s Day, why did you make the punch? Do you know how great a sin you’ve committed?”

“I know.” Azure Dragon didn’t even flinch. “I’m a soldier. I follow orders and hold fast to my belief.”

“Belief?” Gao Yang frowned.

“Yes, belief,” Azure Dragon repeated in a booming voice.

“Haha, hahaha...” Gao Yang broke out laughing suddenly like he’d just heard the funniest joke in the world.

After more than ten seconds, he growled at Azure Dragon abruptly, “Belief my ass! You’re a stupid lap dog! An imbecile! A buffoon! Fucking son of a bitch!!”

Azure Dragon was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected the leader of the Nine Scions to suddenly spit out a litany of curses in such a crude way.

“Yan Liang’s a pride monster! You should’ve seen it!” Gao Yang continued to yell. “Qilin and he never intended to open the Gates! Qilin’s been lying to you, me, and everyone from the start!”

“Fight for humans? For survival? All fucking bullshit!”

“When I disagreed with his decision, he tried to kill me!”

—Increase my Strength and Agility to the limit before putting points in my Constitution and Endurance.

The energy conversion happened in an instant. The adjustments to his stats brought about a change in his presence. Powerful energy rippled out of him. Then a faint golden barrier enveloped his body.

Azure Dragon started. Gao Yang had gotten stronger yet weaker at the same time. It was a strange change.

Azure Dragon didn’t know what Gao Yang was up to. He tapped into all his power and stayed a hundred percent focused.

Before, Gao Yang always left the stats he had no use for at 1 when using Willful Power, but that was because he was confident in not letting the enemy even touch him once while Willful Power was in effect.

Fighting Azure Dragon was different. Even with Willful Power, Gao Yang wouldn’t overwhelm Azure Dragon completely. Thus, he left his Constitution and Endurance at an appropriate level, or he would be a glass cannon shattering at a tap from Azure Dragon.

A Constitution and Endurance of 500 would be fragile when facing Azure Dragon’s punch, but Gao Yang had the energy shield of Absolute Defense protecting him. It would last for...about ten or so seconds.

Even if it wouldn’t be enough, Gao Yang couldn’t increase his Constitution and Endurance further. He had to make sure his Strength and Agility were over 5000, or he would stand no chance of defeating Azure Dragon.

The two most powerful physical fighters in the world of awakeners at this moment in time faced each other amid the ruin in the pit under the desert. One was the most powerful physical fighter in actuality, while the other was one temporarily.

The victor would be decided in a moment.

Thud. Thud.

Under the cold gray moonlight, the two figures vanished at the same time, leaving stomp-cracked ground and ripples of energy in their wakes.
