"Has this guy...gone mad?"
At this moment, whether it was Zeus, who controlled the life and death power of all of Dragon City in the sky, or the Magic Cube Dragon below racking its brains for a solution, both had the same thought.
No Fierce Ghost could understand how, at this critical moment of life and death, Wu Liang could come up with such a defiant and abstract response.
"I'm talking to you! You exhibitionist in the sky! If you have the guts, strike me down with lightning!"
Worried that the crowd might have thought they misheard earlier, Wu Liang spoke again without holding back his sharp tongue, calling Zeus an exhibitionist.
Even Zeus, who prided himself on being unaffected by these insect-like Fierce Ghosts below, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly upon hearing this.
"You! What! Did! You! Say!"
Veins bulged on his right hand holding the lightning, and with a flash of anger in his eyes, he spoke through gritted teeth.
The opponent's action was like an ant using water droplets to threaten the researcher observing it in a petri dish, so provocative and offensive that Zeus wanted to throw down the lightning right away.
But his furiously roaring question was answered by Wu Liang leaping into a position parallel to him.
He wielded a rusty kitchen knife and hacked directly at Zeus.
Could this guy even dare to attack him actively!?
"Madman! You've lost your mind! Come down now!" The Magic Cube Dragon roared anxiously at Wu Liang from the city front.
However, Zeus took a deep breath and looked at the Magic Cube Dragon with pity, saying, "It's too late. Blame his insolence in the abyss of death."
With that said, the lightning in his hand pierced through the clouds, tracing an arc of blue-violet intermingled with golden light across the sky.
The target was none other than Wu Liang, charging up with a rusty knife and a blasé smile.
Behind him was Dragon City, precarious after twenty days of defense.
Zeus intended to pierce through this insolent insect and destroy Dragon City alongside it!
Swoosh—
The lightning reached Wu Liang in an instant.
But he made an unthinkable move—he hurled the knife straight at Zeus!
As for the deadly lightning, Wu Liang chose to grab it barehanded, as if attempting to catch it just like Zeus had eccentrically held it earlier!
Boom—
The moment Wu Liang's hands touched the lightning, a massive explosion erupted in the air.
The commotion was so loud that even the cities near Dragon City felt something terrifying was happening in the distance, prompting many local lords to hasten their defenses to avoid collateral damage.
Ironically, they had actually benefited greatly from Zeus's attacks on Dragon City.
The influx of numerous Pseudo-God Lords arriving from afar to attack Dragon City made the surrounding areas teem with lord-level beings, scaring off any new lords that had designs on the nearby cities.
Who knows what those Pseudo-God Lords outside were thinking?
If they intervened when someone made a move, that would really be the end.
Rather than risk guessing the intentions of those Pseudo-God Lords, it was better to go for a more remote city.
Thus, from the start of the War of Chaos to now with only ten days left, the relentless bombardment on Dragon City continued daily while the nearby cities remained completely untouched.
But now, the commotion was truly too great!
They began to worry that if Dragon City really fell, what if those Pseudo-God Lords decided to target them next?
The lords within various cities were quite panicked and confused.
Meanwhile, back at Dragon City, after the intense lightning and thunder, only the Magic Cube Dragon's jaw, dropped in disbelief, and Zeus's face, as though he had eaten something foul, remained.
The anticipated scene of Wu Liang being blasted to smithereens did not appear.
Although the figure left floating after the lightning dissipated was charred black and even steaming as if burned, he remained steadily suspended in mid-air, never falling.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, as none of the Fierce Ghosts dared to breathe loudly.
They were all waiting to see how Wu Liang—having taken Zeus's thunderous strike—would respond.
"Huff..."
Moments later, a hefty breath of foul air and black smoke erupted from the mouth of the "charcoal figure," indistinguishable except for the faint outline of a human shape.
Soon after, a pair of eyes, bright enough to pierce the darkness, opened up, starkly obvious against that wretched body.
"Cough cough cough...I knew it...you're still a coward, exhibitionist!"
Wu Liang's voice, though somewhat weak, reached Zeus's ears with an unwavering yet intensely mocking tone.
Letting the Venerable, who hadn't experienced such strong emotions for countless ages, show a furious expression.
In truth, these verbal provocations alone weren't enough to make Zeus so angry that he didn't respond at once.
The key was that when Wu Liang was holding the knife, he unexpectedly chose to throw it at Zeus in the last moment.
When sidestepping that attack, which could pierce a city, Zeus still had his white robe trimmed by nearly half its length, making his appearance somewhat tattered and mismatched.
Before Zeus could erupt, Wu Liang continued to provoke, "Come on! Hit me more! I'll take them all! That last one wasn't enough to kill me... Dare to up the power, coward!"
