Chapter 695 - 180: Slaying 4 Kings
Lu Hong, having reached the surface of the sea, had not only dodged a Magic Power storm but also immediately recovered from his injuries, returning to his peak condition.
"It’s definitely something only the Goddess of Fate could manage," he mused.
Staring at the calm sea surface, Lu Hong extended his senses; unfortunately, the boundless ocean was teeming with endless Magic Power, making it hard to discern the movements of the Four Ocean King.
Regardless, there was no way Lu Hong was going into the water—the oceanic species had too great an advantage there unless he activated Bloodthirst and drew on a surge of power, which might give him a chance to fight.
Lu Hong could afford to wait, but the Four Ocean King did not want to. In a moment, the calm sea began to churn.
Suddenly, countless water columns shot up toward the sky, swirling toward Lu Hong.
As he dodged, the Four Ocean King suddenly burst out from one of the water columns, thrusting his trident viciously at Lu Hong’s flank.
With the battle rhythm enhancing his perception, Lu Hong saw through the Four Ocean King’s feint, parried the trident with one sword, and with the other, he stabbed directly at the Four Ocean King’s heart.
Seeing through his tactic forced the Four Ocean King to retreat continuously, using Magic Power to build a barrier to block Lu Hong’s attacks.
However, as blood and Magic Power erupted, the barrier was shattered inch by inch.
But this also bought precious time for the Four Ocean King to escape cleanly.
Missing his strike, Lu Hong did not pursue but watched as the Four Ocean King dived back beneath the sea.
