Chapter 762 - 707: The Cost of Losing
The silence was so intense that one could hear a pin drop, and everyone was astounded. Was the Combat Saint King planning to prevent the Heavenly Eagle King from leaving?
Many people couldn’t help but be filled with apprehension, tensely watching everything unfolding before them.
The experts from Dragon Phoenix Academy, in particular, seemed almost ready to manifest in the world, with terrifyingly supreme auras leaking out of their bodies, tearing through the void, a horrifying sight to behold.
They had all taken a liking to the Heavenly Eagle King, an outstanding prospect; if the Combat Saint King were truly to make a move, they would undoubtedly intervene to stop him.
Moreover, in the more distant parts of the Heavenly Dome, a number of extremely terrifying auras had appeared at some point, coupled with overwhelming demon power, pressuring the skies and closely monitoring the situation.
"Combat Saint King, what is your intention here? The Heavenly Eagle King has clearly conceded defeat. As a Supreme Genius, don’t you possess the breadth of spirit to allow him to leave?"
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the injured Heavenly Eagle King—none other than Zhao Wudao.
In that moment, he actually positioned himself in front of the Heavenly Eagle King, staring down the Combat Saint King without fear. It was shocking how a mere king dared to question the Combat Saint King like this. Was he seeking death?
However, some astute observers noticed a twinkle in their eyes, for they could see that although Zhao Wudao seemed fearless, he was clearly trying to use the pressure of the others present to coerce the Combat Saint King into not acting, allowing the Heavenly Eagle King and themselves to leave the area smoothly.
One had to admit, Zhao Wudao was indeed somewhat clever.
"Combat Saint King, after all, you are the first Young Supreme from the Ten-layered Heaven Level since the Mythical Era. Having defeated the Heavenly Eagle King, as the victor, shouldn’t you show some of the magnanimity that befits a winner, allowing the Heavenly Eagle King to leave in peace?" Zhao Wudao spoke again and even received nods of agreement from many spectators at a distance.
