Chapter 725: The Peach Blossom Divine Sword
This battle ended far faster than anyone had imagined. The twin-tailed girl Kayako, who ranked among the top three in combat and survival skills among the Jiepeng delegation’s superhumans, was obliterated in mere seconds. She was reduced to nothing but scattered ashes in the lightning storm.
The fight lasted barely ten seconds. Li Guorui’s merciless, no-nonsense approach and his instant, overwhelming display of power had caught everyone, including Kayako, completely off guard.
By the time the spectators even registered what had happened, it was already over. A deathly silence fell over the arena. It was as if the terrifying flashes of lightning and deafening thunder still lingered in the air. Everyone stared blankly at the arena.
To be honest, by now, the existence of superhumans was no longer a secret. Discussions and footage of superhuman abilities had begun circulating on the internet over the past six months.
But what they had just witnessed, a Sky level superhuman unleashing his full power with no restraint was beyond their imagination. The sheer destructive force and lethal precision left every witness utterly shaken.
The fading remnants of the purple thunderclouds and crackling lightning etched themselves permanently into their minds. It was an image that would never be erased for the rest of their lives.
And there, on the stage, stood Li Guoruim, still wearing his Balitai University uniform. His storm was now subdued, yet he had the presence of an ancient god of war emerging from a sea of lightning.
He remained motionless. And in his silence, the entire audience felt an oppressive weight of fear and suffocation.
On the VIP platform, the high-ranking officials of both nations sat with grim expressions, their eyes filled with heavy concern. This was the first time they had witnessed a Sky level superhuman’s power so directly. No amount of cold, detailed data could compare to the raw visual and emotional impact of what they had just seen.
Both sides found themselves pondering the same question.
Is it a blessing or a curse for a nation for such god-like power to be placed in the hands of unpredictable individuals? For society?
And more importantly, it made them realize that a new social order, a new national order and even a new global order was now more urgent than ever.
