Chapter 1639 You didn't choose the wrong person!
"What? Did you figure something out?" Murphy's sticky face showed a curious expression.
“Based on past records, Kurgun’s battlefield performance has been within Gobelin’s physiological limits, with no signs of exceeding them,” Rahm explained.
"The reason why I was able to fight Li Luo, the Chosen One, to a draw and persist until now is mostly due to my talent and equipment."
"Oh? So, according to you, this Kurgon is a 'money-grubbing warrior'?" Murphy's ruby-like eyes gleamed with keen interest.
"They simply relied on abundant resources to boost their combat power?"
"It's not that absolute," Rahm shook his head and sighed.
"Without sufficient combat skills, even if you have a full set of equipment and items of mythical quality, you still won't be able to achieve Kurgon's current combat performance."
"Accumulation and practice are both indispensable."
To use a phrase from Earth, it would be, "How much suffering must one endure to become an antler?"
"Endure hardship...to become an antler..." Murphy murmured in a sticky voice, looking as if he had just learned something new:
"So this is considered a metaphor?"
“Of course, General Murphy,” Rahm said calmly.
"If Kurgun is like an actor on a stage, then he must have put in a lot of effort to achieve such a brilliant performance."
"What about the Chosen One, Li Luo?" Murphy immediately followed up, asking.
"Li Luo, the chosen one, must be considered a genius in opera..." Rahm's mechanical eyes flashed red as he gave a very fair assessment.
“I think so too…” Murphy nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the figure on the lava lake.
However, he had no intention of ending the conversation, but continued to press for answers.
"Then... what about Lu Li, the former overlord of the Neptune Star Region?"
"If we were to compare him to an actor on a stage, wouldn't he be considered a genius at opera?"
Rahim, who is usually clear-headed and quick to answer, was stuck at this moment.
After a long pause, he finally gave a reply that left Murphy completely baffled:
"Lu Li, the former overlord of the Neptune Star Region... he's probably the owner of a theatrical troupe..."
"Huh?" Murphy was taken aback and was about to ask for clarification.
But at that moment, the two figures locked in combat on the lava lake suddenly separated.
Kurgon, who was shorter in stature, retreated swiftly, quickly conjuring up layers of defensive light shields around himself.
Li Luo hovered somewhere before his figure transformed into a thick shadow and rapidly collapsed.
It's like pouring a large blob of ink onto a red-hot pan.
The shadow that the woman had transformed into instantly exploded, and each small mass turned into an independent human figure.
They were filled with murderous intent, ready to destroy everything in their path, and they rushed towards Kurgun from all directions!
In an instant, a violent storm seemed to erupt on the lava lake!
The shadow clone's violent movements unleashed a raging wave of fire, and the sound of the blades colliding with the light shield was like thunder!
Even though Pan Xiaoxiao and other onlookers were quite far away and knew they were not the target of the attack,
At this moment, I couldn't help but take a step back, feeling fear in my heart.
Li Luo has used her innate ability!
Kurgon's protective light shield gradually dissipated under the relentless attacks of his shadow clones, and it seemed he could no longer hold on.
Once the last layer of light shield shattered and disappeared, he finally shouted:
"I surrender!!"
however,
The shadow clones' attacks showed no signs of stopping!
Even the final blow was delivered by Li Luo herself.
The worm-tooth dagger streaked across the distorted space with a vibrant green arc, aiming straight for Gobelin's face!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Kurgun immediately took action.
Leaning back, intending to prolong the time it took for the blade to touch his face, at the same moment, his free left hand produced a black and purple dagger shaped like lightning, and quickly attacked the emerald green short dagger!
However, the sound of metal clashing did not occur.
Because the purplish-black dagger was not intended to block anything.
Rather, it was to tear through space and create a pitch-black rift!
Li Luo had actually guessed that Kurgon was holding back his strength.
But she never expected that Gobelin, who was skilled in fighting and good at head-on attacks, would have a trump card to save his life, which was a kind of 'space-type' talent ability.
If you're not careful, you'll be disarmed on the spot.
The worm-tooth dagger and her right hand were swallowed up instantly by the dark crack, leaving no room for anything else.
Li Luo retreated rapidly, quickly putting about ten meters between herself and Kurgong.
The scattered shadow clones flowed into the woman's body like rivers flowing into the sea.
"Give it back."
Li Luo raised her right arm, which was now missing its hand, and spoke coldly to Kurgon.
“Then you have to accept my surrender first,” Kurgun replied, still shaken, his face full of lingering fear.
"You clearly didn't use your full strength; the purpose of this sparring hasn't been achieved yet." Li Luo clearly didn't intend to agree, her voice remaining icy.
"How could I, an ordinary player, possibly be a match for a chosen one? Let's stop here..." Kurgon forced a smile.
He couldn't help but recall the Emperor's instructions to him before his departure—
Remember Kurgun: weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to victory; arrogance is.
He was ultimately too young and failed to fully heed His Majesty's advice.
Li Luo tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Pan Xiaoxiao, who was staring in disbelief on the shore of the lava lake, and surprisingly made a concession:
"Then we'll have another match if we have the chance in the future."
Kurgun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay okay."
“I’ll use my authority and power, and you’ll use all your strength in return,” Li Luo added immediately.
Kurgun's smile, which had just appeared, froze instantly.
But seeing that the woman had already quietly moved towards the shore and had no intention of continuing the fight, he said no more.
With a deft slash of his dark purple dagger, he retrieved a dagger with worm teeth and the woman's severed hand from the dark crevice and tossed them toward Li Luo.
The latter merely caught the worm tooth with its left hand, ignoring the severed right hand, letting it fall into the lava lake, splashing up a small burst of flames.
Pan Xiaoxiao had already prepared the [Regeneration Potion] on the shore.
It is made from high-quality ingredients produced on Earth. After drinking it, wounds will stop bleeding, and lost limbs can slowly grow back and recover.
As soon as Li Luo got closer, he wanted to hand it to her and let her drink it.
Upon seeing this, Kurgon, who had followed closely behind and reached the shore, lingered on the [Regeneration Potion] for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Among His Majesty's most prized possessions is a bottle of exceptional quality [Regeneration Potion]!
The label affixed to its surface, the engraving on the cork,
It's exactly the same as the bottle Pan Xiaoxiao is holding!
Kurgun ultimately lived up to his mission.
You've found the right person!
