What the f*ck was that thing that stopped me from escaping?
There was no time to ponder over the matter. Zander immediately yelled, “Someone, save me! The Great Marshal is here! Help!”
Instead of stopping him, Zeke flashed an amused smile and gazed at him silently.
Zeke had formed a barrier with his energy, so Zander's voice couldn't travel out of the room.
Unable to escape and with no one coming to help him, Zander was in despair.
He gazed at Zeke fearfully. “H-How did you find me here? Why are you still tracking me down? It has been years, and I should've atoned for my sins long ago.”
Zeke snorted. “Atoned? You can't atone for your sins even if you spend thousands of years making it up to the victims! Do you know that I promised the victims to find you no matter where you go after you broke out of jail? I can finally fulfill my promise to them today.”
Zander chuckled bitterly. “Fine. I was unlucky as you found me. Are you sure you can catch me, though? I was slightly weaker than you back then. That was why you defeated me. However, I've practiced hard these few years and improved considerably, so there's no telling who will win the fight.”
Zeke said, “If you don't want to admit defeat, you can try me.”
Zander clenched his jaw. “Sure! Let's fight. I shall wash away my shame today!”
Back then, the experience of getting defeated by Zeke was a grave humiliation to him.
Zander unleashed a wave of energy that charged toward Zeke.
Zeke's lips curved. “Oh, you're so weak. Back when you broke out of jail, you were an Archduke Class warrior. Are you now a King Class warrior or an Ultimate Class warrior?”
Zander revealed proudly, “I'm a King Class warrior, so it'll be easy for me to destroy you. As far as I'm aware, you're still an Archduke Class warrior.”
Zeke could barely hide his disappointment. “Oh, Zander. You're really short-sighted, huh? Do you think everyone else in the world is as incapable as you? It has been years, but you're only a King Class warrior? I shall have you know that a King Class warrior is now as weak as an ant to me!”
Hearing that, Zander scoffed. “A King Class warrior is extremely powerful. How dare you say I'm as weak as an ant? Nonsense! Come, let's fight!”
Zander gathered all his energy and flung it toward Zeke.
His violent energy descended on Zeke like a tornado that threatened to destroy everything in its path.
Zeke remained unfazed. He waited until the energy was right in front of him before he snapped his fingers.
It might be a simple action, but it was full of energy.
A Celestial Class warrior was capable of subduing a King Class warrior easily.
Zeke's energy charged straight into Zander's tornado like a sharp blade.
Boom!
At once, Zander's energy storm was destroyed by Zeke's energy. It dispersed and faded into thin air.
Zander staggered backward from the backlash and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
He raised his head in terror and stared at Zeke. “How is this possible? How is this possible!”
I, a King Class warrior, gathered all my might to launch my strongest attack, but Zeke defeated me with a flick of his fingers! That's so insulting!
Zander refused to believe that it was true. If this was real, he'd rather knock his head on the wall and die on the spot!
I can't believe someone this capable exists! Is he even human?
Zeke sneered, “Zander, you still like to delude yourself just like what you often did back then. You saw it with your own eyes, so why is it impossible? If you refuse to admit defeat, you're welcome to attack me again.”
“I won't admit defeat!” Zander let out a furious, guttural roar and launched another attack with full force.
This time, Zeke didn't even bother fighting back. He merely set up an energy barrier in front of him.
Boom!
Zander's violent burst of energy crashed into Zeke's energy barrier and disappeared almost immediately.
Zeke wasn't affected at all.
