Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 400

The power of the golden light that burst from the Righteousness Song was more terrifying than Zen ever imagined.

It nearly clung to his back and swept past him. Although it didn't hit Zen, he felt the power behind it.

The righteousness was horrifying.

If the golden light, with its tremendous power, hit Zen, it would undoubtedly cut through his body.

The young man was confident enough about his body strength. Only with those who had been in the Illuminating Soul Realm for so many years being his rivals would he not dare resist the attacks with his physical body, like James Mo.

Apparently, after Dick had written the Righteousness Song, he had strength equal to James'.

Still, comparing Dick's strength to that of James' would not be appropriate because while Dick might have exerted maximum strength, the force utilized by James was not the strongest during their battle. To Zen's mind, the pressure was more from James than Dick.

While both Dick and James were masters in the Illuminating Soul Realm, the former had just entered the realm, while the latter was already at the advance stage.

The golden light missed Zen as it hit a light curtain of enchanted barrier, which momentarily blocked its radiance. However, it was not sufficient to completely stop the golden light. A wave resembling a ripple on the surface of the enchanted barrier appeared before the golden light penetrated it.

"Poof!"

Once it pierced the enchanted barrier, the golden light continued in its path and shot to the group of Vulture Peak. It whizzed past an ear of a disciple before boring into the ground where it left a dark round hole no one knew how deep.

The disciple from Vulture Peak turned pale and stood still as he felt the light by his ear. It left him speechless. Had it been any closer, the golden light would have cut through his head cleanly.

It was possible for anyone at the All Peaks Competition to be severely injured or even die due to influence in the aftermath of the contest owing to the intensity of the rivalry.

The master from Vulture Peak was now nervous and hurried to inform all the other disciples to move back. He was aware that if the golden light broke the enchanted barrier again, the disciples from their peak would probably not be so lucky.

There was also a change in the expression of several saints who guarded the arena. If the life vitality influence on the field caused serious injury to disciples outside, this would be considered an accident. To prevent this from happening, they joined hands and put the life vitality in the huge array of the enchanted barriers to immediately make them much denser.

"Chirp!"

Quickly, Dick weighed the situation.

He saw the demonic life vitality continuously devoured the Righteousness Song. Dick had to defeat Zen before the demonic life vitality swallowed all the Righteousness Song. Otherwise, he would be a failure.

As golden light from the Righteousness Song successively burst out to target Zen, he jumped, rolled, and dodged continuously, like a cheetah avoiding a hunter in the forest.

Both warriors were striving for that last chance to defeat the other.

If Dick managed to hit Zen, the latter would surely lose. But as long as Zen resisted the attack of the golden light, his demonic life vitality could devour the Righteousness Song, which was Dick's last backup. If his life vitality swallowed the song, Zen would win.

"Boom!"

The golden light was relentless and flew past Zen threateningly, hitting the enchanted barrier with a dull sound each time. Some of the shots hit the ground, leaving a small deep hole, its depth unknown.

As Dick grew more and more anxious, the golden light spewed out twice as fast putting Zen under a great deal of pressure.

"Phoenix Crystal, start all the energy!"

Zen pushed the energy of the Phoenix Crystal to the maximum as he released all his body strength. He dodged every shot in the limited space of the competition field and resorted to making virtual shadows. His strategy worked as every golden light hit just the virtual shadows.

However, the streaks of golden lights forced him to take cover in a corner.

'Damn it! It's a dead-end corner!' Zen cursed over his predicament.

He looked around to assess his situation.

Then his expression suddenly changed. The golden lights were shot from everywhere - left, right, and above. Although Zen moved with extreme speed, Dick discovered the dead corner where he had hidden.

Dodging was no longer possible. The only choice left was to rush head-on to Dick.

But when Zen came face-to-face with Dick, what would happen?

As long as Dick kept shooting golden lights at Zen, the latter would surely lose!

'The only thing to do is risk my life!' Zen decided.

There was no time for the man to think. With his foot, he kicked and turned into a sharp arrow, shooting ahead.

The move brought a faint smile to Dick's lips. Zen's speed was remarkably high, but he had one disadvantage: having only a few styles of movement.

Still, it was not Zen's fault because he hadn't had chance to develop proper body movements until now.

Seeing his rival move quickly, Dick anticipated Zen's directions to dodge in advance, forcing him to the corner.

With Zen unable to dodge the hits from Dick, his only option would be to rush to his opponent. But Dick already had a plan. As long as he blocked Zen from the front, his opponent would have no way to escape and thus lose.

"I never thought it would be so difficult to win against him," Dick muttered.

Sighing, he shot the last golden light that would block Zen's remaining passage.
