Chapter 716 290 Prince Statue
Clang!
Just as Li Xiu was about to touch the Ruby, the Prince Statue suddenly moved, drawing its Golden Treasure Sword like lightning from its waist.
The Golden Dinner Knife appeared in Li Xiu's hand, clashing with the Golden Treasure Sword at close range.
A tremendous force compelled Li Xiu's body to slide uncontrollably outward, crashing into the fence, breaking it, and sliding another dozen meters before barely coming to a halt.
The prince-like statue, surprisingly, stepped down from its high pedestal, taking a step towards Li Xiu, the Golden Treasure Sword once again slashing down like lightning.
Li Xiu flipped over, narrowly avoiding the slash of the Golden Treasure Sword, then stood up, holding the Fire Lotus Sword in one hand and the Golden Dinner Knife in the other, donning the gentleman's hat that always hung on him.
A moment before, when the Golden Dinner Knife clashed with the Golden Treasure Sword, he attempted to use the Super Bottle Suction of the Golden Dinner Knife, but couldn't absorb the Demonic Light from the Prince Statue.
In fact, neither the Prince Statue nor its sword emitted any Demonic Light, as if they were real statues, relying on sheer brute force to fight against Li Xiu.
Such brute force had the strength of Spirit Forging Level power, and merely using his own Light Energy input, the Golden Dinner Knife's power was still insufficient to contend with Spirit Forging Level strength.
Li Xiu's hands were now numb, his tiger's mouth torn, and blood trickled out.
Super Exciting and boiling blood were both activated simultaneously, crazily enhancing Li Xiu's speed and strength, yet he could only rely on the Angel's Wing Body Technique to dodge the Prince Statue's slashes time and again.
The Prince Statue seemed to know only to slash, without any other techniques, but its strength was overwhelming, and its speed was too fast, making even simple moves hard for Li Xiu to counter directly, forcing him to use Angel's Wings to continuously evade.
With two S-level skills and the gentleman's hat boost, Li Xiu barely managed to maneuver against it, yet he couldn't keep dodging and retreating perpetually.
The Trial Takers watching were petrified, turning to flee in terror, simply seeing the speed and strength of the Prince Statue made them realize they were no match.
But they barely ran far before they were shocked to discover that the cast iron statues in the plaza and streets seemingly came to life, surrounding them.
Clang!
A Trial Taker's blade burst with light, cleaving toward a nearby cast iron statue, yet merely left a shallow mark, as the cast iron statue ferociously pounced, utterly ignoring his attacks.
The Trial Taker slashed several times but failed to push back the cast iron statue, instead finding himself faster overtaken when he tried to flee.
The Trial Taker's body made contact with the cast iron statue, and his body began transforming into cast iron, soon becoming another cast iron statue.
The crowd of Trial Takers was both terrified and frightened, all wanting to extinguish the Longevity Lamp and exit the Land of Trial, but a few quicker ones, right by the Longevity Lamp and blowing it out the moment the Prince Statue charged out, had already left the Land of Trial. Those slightly slower, planning to blow the lamp, had already turned into cast iron statues.
The Prince Statue emitted a barely visible Magnetic Light that, upon contact, prevented Trial Takers from returning.
The Ultimate Light surrounding Li Xiu could withstand the Magnetic Light, yet the speed and strength of the Prince Statue tortured him intensely.
Moreover, the surrounding cast iron statues continuously charged, worsening his predicament.
The Fire Lotus Sword unleashed blades of light, blooming like lotuses in all directions, forcibly pushing back the cast iron statues and leaving deep marks upon them.
Yet that was all; they weren't directly slain, as the cast iron statues still relentlessly charged forward.
Li Xiu both repelled the cast iron statues and fought the Prince Statue, thrusting him into extreme danger.
Screams echoed throughout the city; several Trial Takers scavenging within the City without any defense were suddenly attacked by nearby cast iron statues, turning into cast iron amidst the screams without even having the chance to blow out the lamp.
Most Trial Takers did not enter alone, thus the Longevity Lamp didn't necessarily accompany just anyone but remained on a low wall near the plaza, leaving many unable to return and blow out the Longevity Lamp.
Fortunately, the Magnetic Light range from the Prince Statue wasn't large, and areas beyond the plaza weren't affected, or else more Trial Takers would become statues.
Some Trial Takers who entered alone, with the Longevity Lamp beside them, upon noticing the anomaly of the cast iron statues, decisively blew out the Longevity Lamp, escaping disaster.
Among so many Trial Takers from the City of Kindness, only six appeared at the Trial Gate in the end, each with an expression of shock, secretly relieved to have survived.
The Sun Family and other Trial Takers who exited the City of Kindness ahead, standing on a nearby mountain peak, saw the situation within the city and were filled with dread, silently grateful for heeding Li Xiu's advice and leaving the city early, otherwise, countless people would have been trapped inside.
"Such a eerie force, this isn't a City of Kindness at all, clearly it's a Demon City." Wan Chaohua sighed.
