chapter-1699
Tang Shaoyang was disappointed deep inside that the mutant had such a big flaw. The mutants were even in much worse situations than the monster or even calamity. However, their situation could not draw his sympathy for them.
It was something they chose for themselves, he did not care about their actual situation. Everyone had their own paths, and he was not in a position to have compassion for his enemy. In fact, he was disappointed that they did not live up to their reputation.
From Torben and Prodan's reaction, he expected a good fight from the mutant. With how Khaya reacted when he said he would fight the Void Cult. He had a high expectation for a good fight. They were strong, but they had a big flaw. The flaw that he could use against them with ease.
Tang Shaoyang used Absolute Domination Energy, and the cracked space around him disappeared. Caeso was within range of his skill. The Void Energy that wrapped the four swords also dissipated.
Caeso was shocked and immediately created a distance from Tang Shaoyang. He looked at his swords, confused. He tried to manipulate his Void Energy once more, wrapping all his four swords. It worked fine this time.Caeso was confused and looked up at Tang Shaoyang. He did not know what happened a few moments ago, but it was not an error from his end. The Spirit Contractor did something.
"You look disappointed…"
Caeso was sensitive to emotion because of the void creature's part in his body. He could discern any living being's mood, even if it was a plan. Weirdly enough the person he fought was disappointed after an intense exchange.
While he was frustrated that he could not land a single attack, his enemy could not do anything to counter him as well. With his long arm added to the sword, he could attack Tang Shaoyang from four to five meters away.
"Are you disappointed because you can't counter me?"
Tang Shaoyang laughed at Caeso, "Can't counter you?" He shook his head, "It seems like you are mistaken about something, and I will make it clear to you now!"
Caeso did not take that as a bluff. As soon as he saw his enemy bent his body slightly forward, holding the sheathed sword. He sensed danger from a simple movement.Then he activated one of the techniques he inherited from the Void Creature. His black eye could see the future with a price, taking his life span in exchange for a few seconds in the future. There he saw Tang Shaoyang's figure shot up at him with a sword that slashed at his neck.
He was pulled back from his vision and sure enough, the azure-colored sword was five inches away from his neck. He put two swords vertically, blocking the sword.
The force behind the sword strike was tremendous, his hands were shaking. However, he blocked the technique. At the same time, his two other swords were above Tang Shaoyang. He thrust the two swords toward Tang Shaoyang's back.
There he met Tang Shaoyang's gaze. Again, it was the same disappointment in his enemy's eyes that infuriated him. He felt like his enemy was disappointed in him. That was when he forced himself to use his black eye again, seeing the future once more.
His two swords failed to hit his enemy. His enemy used a short teleportation skill, appeared behind him, and sliced his head. He saw his own head flying.
Pulling back from his future vision, he stopped his sword mid-way and turned around. He swung all four swords horizontally, hoping to catch Tang Shaoyang in surprise.
Tang Shaoyang was indeed surprised because it was something similar he used against Caeso, seeing the future. He changed his sword's direction to block the four swords.
Clank!
The spark flew over from the clash. He gathered The Heavenly Energy in his left hand and was about to use Heavenly Force - Heavenly Shattering Palm.
Caeso glanced at his enemy's left hand and sensed danger. The heightened instinct that he got from the Void Creature, telling him that his left hand was dangerous. It was so specific, meaning it could inflict a heavy injury on him.
Instead of using the black eye again, Caeso kicked the ground and distanced himself from Tang Shaoyang.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
Caeso could hear his own heartbeat. It was getting louder and louder in his ears. Nervousness started to creep in. This was the first time he felt nervous ever since his successful assimilation with the Void Creature's parts. He had never been in this situation before, feeling threatened in a fight.
Tang Shaoyang was surprised once more. The Heavenly Energy in his left slowly subsided. He found similarities between him and this mutant. Not only could they read the future, but they had a heightened instinct as well.
That was why the other mutant said that Caeso had the most potential among them. However, Tang Shaoyang was not concerned even if Caeso could see the future. Thanks to Zhang Mengyao, he was already accustomed to fighting someone who could read the future. His expectations for Caeso increased slightly.
Meanwhile, Caeso noticed the change of mood from his enemy. He was surprised that his enemy's mood got better after he avoided whatever was hidden in his enemy's left hand.
That was when Caeso realized why his enemy was disappointed at him earlier. His enemy found out that he was weaker than his enemy expected. That was why Tang Shaoyang was disappointed early. That was what he guessed after a few exchanges.
"YOU! YOU! YOU!"
The realization made Caeso angry. This was a fight where they put their lives at stake, and yet his enemy regarded this fight like a game. If his enemy did not take it as a game, then why would his enemy be disappointed? He was disappointed because was not as strong as his enemy thought. The game would be boring to play if it was too easy to win them.
"YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE SYSTEM! YOU REGARD SOMEONE LIFE AS A GAME! AS ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOU! YOU MUST DIE! I WILL KILL YOU!"
