Chapter 267 - Peak Battle Part 1
While they continued talking about Nella's power, the United Kingdom had sent their next participants, showing their confidence in winning this round.
"It seems the United Kingdom is risking everything in this round. What a bold move from the United Kingdom!" Sheira announced with excitement. "Even if they lose this one, they still have the next round and the two teams' strength will be equal at that point because China Team requires two of their strongest fighters in this match. After all, their opponents are none other than Zara Kennedy and Clark Martin."
Zara waved her blonde hair with a cold expression while glancing at the guy next to her. "Are you sure this is going to work?"
"We can only do it. I will be in the front while you support me."
"Okay." Zara nodded with a serious expression. "I just want to know, we may not be able to hide our power anymore."
"Agreed. Let's do our best, shall we?"
The cheers suddenly changed as Sheira shouted, "Oh! This is what we are waiting for. China Team has sent their participants. They are the bearers of Leigong and Mu Guiying's Blessings, Zhong Li and Mo Ning.
"This will be a big battle that may decide the outcome of the fight between two teams. Let's cheer with all our hearts."
Ignoring Sheira's commentary, Mo Ning looked at Zara and Clark with a serious expression. "It seems you are pretty confident to even do something like this. I thought you were going to use the same tactic like Theodore Griffith…"
"No strategy is wrong. Only the people who can't execute it are." Zara shook her head before raising her golden staff.
Mo Ning furrowed her eyebrows and pulled her sword. Clark raised both hands as a huge robotic hand appeared out of thin air. The robotic arms were five times bigger than his hands, making them look heavy. In addition, these robotic hands had claws on the tip. Its white color aside, the rest looked like a bear paw.
Zhong Li frowned and took out a small mallet along with a drum on his other hand.
"…" All of them looked at each other, observing their movement.
"Match Starts!"
The moment they heard Diego's voice, Clark and Mo Ning leaped to the front.
Mo Ning waved her sword from the left, only to be stopped by Clark's robotic gauntlet effortlessly.
"You may need to put a bit more effort into your swing." Clark smiled.
"You think?" Mo Ning smiled sweetly even though her body didn't share the same sentiment. She simply stomped the ground to gain more power before putting all the new power into her arms.
"…" Clark fell silent and felt the swing just got stronger to the point it flipped his body upside down.
"Once again, you sure you want me to use my strength?"
However, Clark only smiled and said, "Yep."
When his head was about to hit the ground, he used his hands as support before another robotic limb turned his small legs like that of a bear. He then kicked Mo Ning from above as the latter blocked it with her sword.
Unfortunately for her, Clark's power was so great it blew the sword to the ground.
Mo Ning quickly pulled the sword and slashed Clark, but the latter already used his hand to launch himself to the air, landing on his original position.
After that, a thunderclap shook the arena as most people closed their ears because of this sound.
Clark couldn't do it because he needed to leap to the left, positioning himself between Zara and Zhong Li as blue lightning ran through the ground.
Clark raised his hand and grabbed the lightning with his robotic hand before releasing his power. "Freeze."
In an instant, the temperature dropped and the lightning froze. If this were normal lightning, it wouldn't be possible, but the lightning formed from Magic Power didn't carry the same heat.
Even so, it required a quite good amount of Magic Power to even freeze this attack and Clark seemed to have good control as well.
"Elenkias." Zara followed Clark's movement and controlled her own shadow as four sharp blades at the height of two humans ran through the ground, heading to Mo Ning and Zhong Li.
Mo Ning took a deep breath and closed her eyes before she waved her sword from the left. "Celestial Slash."
Suddenly, all four blades were cut into two as Zara jumped to avoid the invisible energy.
When Mo Ning was about to hit Zara, who couldn't escape while in the air, she turned her head and leaped back, avoiding Clark's fist.
"Freezing Fist."
Although his punch missed, he still hit the ground, turning it into ice. The area expanded before it started to crack.
Bam.
Because of the ice lessening its resistance to impact, the ground turned into craters as there were many rubbles falling a few inches from their position.
Zhong Li planned to use this chance to attack Clark, but Zara raised her staff.
The rubbles began to rise from the ground before they flew to Mo Ning and Zhong Li with a wave of Zara's hand.
"Telekinesis."
"Thunder." Zhong Li hit the drum again and produced the same loud sound. However, this one produced a powerful Sound Wave that blew away the rubbles to the side.
Unfortunately for him, Zara managed to prevent a quarter of its number and sent them to Clark.
Mo Ning emerged in front of Zhong Li and waved her sword clockwise. "Twister."
The wave of her sword formed a twister that blew away all the remaining rubbles.
Not wanting it to end, Clark waved both hands and turned the twister into another ice before breaking it with a single punch. "If you want a cold tornado, this is the way."
The same tornado Mo Ning made reappeared in the arena, albeit with a single twist. The tornado carried ice and the cold temperature. Even Mo Ning didn't dare to underestimate this power.
Suddenly, a huge hammer emerged above them and obliterated the tornado in a single strike. "Hammer of Judgment."
They all found that Zhong Li had put away his Mallet and changed into a hammer. Yet, Zara also made her appearance next to him. Surprisingly, there was a sword in her hand instead of a staff. And she used it to strike Zhong Li.
Noticing her presence, Mo Ning turned around and stopped her sword. "Kh…"
"Such an amazing team play!" Sheira shouted in excitement while watching the battle.
