Slowly but surely, they were brought to their knees, no longer able to withstand the overwhelming force.
At the same time, the pressure built up had resulted in internal bleeding, causing everyone to cough out blood uncontrollably.
To the enemies' surprise, not only was Zeke unfazed, but he also did not seem affected by the Invincible Wave Energy.
Even Connor was starting to panic, wondering why his attack had not hurt Zeke in the slightest.
The next moment, he accelerated his attack, determined to crush Zeke's skull and finish him off once and for all.
However, before he could get any nearer, Zeke's body suddenly shook.
With that, a vast amount of white fog was released from his body and spread out until it enveloped Connor's Invincible Wave Energy.
That sent Connor reeling.
As it turned out, Zeke's Invincible Wave Energy was so much stronger than his that it was visible even to the naked eye.
Like Connor, everyone else on his side was left speechless by that mind-blowing revelation.
When they were at the president's residence, Zeke's destruction of his life force was so powerful it blew up a meters wide cavity into the ground.
He was lucky enough to have survived it, let alone retain his power.
Alas, it became clear that not only had Zeke retained all his powers, but he had also gotten even stronger than before.
From the looks of it, his Invincible Wave Energy was one of the best in the Ultimate Class, outshining even the four elders from the Four Hidden Sects.
What could Zeke have experienced to have such astonishing growth?
Connor had no doubts that his own boosted power would be a far cry from Zeke's pure Ultimate Class power.
After all, whether it was the volume or the density, Zeke's Invincible Wave Energy was at least twice as powerful as Connor's.
With Connor's attack suppressed by Zeke's, Alfred and the others gradually felt the pressure lifting off of them.
Immediately after, Zeke shrugged his shoulders and shot his Invincible Wave Energy into the sky.
Bang!
A dull explosion rang out, dispelling Connor's Invincible Wave Energy and knocking him back.
After getting flung out a distance, Connor fell to the ground, badly injured and spitting blood.
Then, a dead silence filled the air.
The men on Connor's side blanched with horror at the sudden turn of events, completely stumped about what to do next.
In the face of Zeke's sheer power, whatever fighting spirit they had before was long gone.
Zeke walked toward Connor, lips curled into a smirk. “Is this all you got? Trash!”
Connor braced himself as he struggled to get back on his feet.
“Zeke, h-how dare you! As protector of the nation, I'm in control of the Tigon Badges belonging to the Three Inspectors, Six Superintendents, and Thirty-Four Templars. Everyone has to listen to my orders! In other words, I represent Eurasia's martial arts world!”
When Zeke did not say anything, Connor continued, “Physical assaulting me in public is a crime against Eurasia, so I suggest you wise up and surrender. If you do, I may consider sparing your life! Otherwise, you'll become Eurasia's public enemy number one!”
“What a load of bull! Is this you grasping at straws because you know you can't beat me?” Zeke replied with a condescending sneer. “Sorry, but I don't have time for your nonsense. No matter what, you're going down today!”
“Do you think I'm powerless just because you're an Ultimate Class warrior?” Connor snapped, eyes blazing with anger. “We have all surpassed King Class and are only a step away from attaining the Ultimate Class. By attacking together, we'd still be able to take your life!”
With that said, Connor turned to his ten King Class warriors and ordered, “Everyone, attack!”
Based on his understanding of Zeke, Connor knew it would be impossible to make peace with him.
Furthermore, Zeke would do everything in his power to kill them, which meant that not even the combined forces of Connor and his warriors would be sufficient to take him down.
