I am a hero of the former civilization.

This is......

Feng Lu lay prone on the ground, his body crackling with residual electricity, and forced himself to lift his head, seeing a figure in the gray sky.

He's here, why?!

The Herrscher's mind became rigid due to the lightning, leaving her momentarily stunned as something impossible happened.

The target was not only there, but he had been hiding right next to me all along. How could he have hidden for so long, and how did he escape my detection?

There seems to be no answer to this, at least not for the time being, but there is one thing that is absolutely real.

Killing intent, a chilling killing intent.

"Surprised? Unexpected?"

Ryan looked down at the Herrscher, showing no desire to explain, his lips slowly spreading into a grin.

I finally caught you!

The instant the 'barrier' disappeared, he concentrated his Honkai energy on detection. Herrschers can become invisible in the field of vision, but they cannot fool electromagnetic fields.

Pulling apart, scheming, confrontation.

I have more patience, as for intelligence?

Sorry, I predicted your prediction!

Clang——

Raiche.

As he drew his longsword, Ryan had no time to feel smug. A ring of lightning appeared and sliced ​​across the earth.

In an instant, a sword mark appeared in the center of the thirty-story building, the building tilted and collapsed, and even the ground was broken open, with countless water jets spraying out from the severed water pipes.

A blur streaked through the dust as Ryan dove forward, watching as the building in front of him crumbled instantly, as if blasted apart by an air cannon.

Brick and stone fragments flew everywhere. Before the shockwave could reach him, he released his grip on the sword hilt, then concentrated all his strength and threw a punch.

Thunderclap splits the heavens!

Crimson Sky transformed into a cannonball, an indestructible blade that instantly pierced through the air cannon and swept over the ascending Herrscher's head.

Missed?

In the brief pause of the wind's rhythm, she didn't dwell on why Ryan had appeared; she simply focused on leveraging her strengths.

No, he wants to leave me on the ground.

The man who had been sent flying returned, taking advantage of the Herrscher's brief pause, and through the flying debris, stretched his body and raised his fist, which was crackling with lightning.

boom! !

A burst of electricity raged across the ground, and two intertwined figures emerged from the dust, piercing through house after house with muffled thuds.

Ryan slammed his fist into the cyan cane, staring at the Herrscher who was right in front of him. Her body was covered in charred marks, but her face remained expressionless.

"Human, your plan is indeed brilliant, but you've forgotten the most important thing."

"I can't beat you, right?" Ryan gave her the answer, retracting his fist and leaning his entire body against her, crashing into her like a mountain.

Whoosh—boom!

With a second burst of power, a distant apartment building instantly caved in and collapsed. With a flick of his finger, Chi Xiao flew back from the sky, only to be blasted away by a tornado before it could strike.

Ryan reached out and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, the longsword vibrating slightly.

"You've also forgotten something important."

Ryan took a step, faster and faster, his strides growing larger, heading straight for the tornado, seemingly oblivious to the high-speed airflow that could tear him to pieces.

The Sword of Punishment came at a great cost; the defenses were breached, and thousands died every second. The appearance of the Herrscher of Ice did indeed shake Ryan's resolve.

But everything will eventually be reduced to an emotion.

The man forcefully pierced through the storm, his outward energy annihilated, his clothes torn to shreds, yet his muscles flashed with dazzling lightning. He wielded his sword with both hands, slashing at the Herrscher who took the opportunity to ascend into the air.

clang! !

As wind and thunder converged, Crimson Sky slashed down the middle of the staff, pressing the flying Herrscher back to the ground. That face was filled with a kind of madness called rationality.

"This is called—"

"A determination to succeed or die trying!!"

Chapter 145 I'll leave you with a whole corpse!

The Herrscher of Wind possesses remarkable patience, and her plans are nothing short of perfect.

The Moths of Fire paid a heavy price; the lives of tens of millions rested on Ryan's shoulders. This pressure was enough to break a person, but he also felt incredibly excited.

I won the game through scheming. After creating so many fancy opportunities, I finally got to the Herrscher's side and met her alone. Now the rest is easy to handle.

Kill me, and before the Herrscher of Ice returns, reduce me to ashes.

Rationality foreshadows the countdown in Ryan's mind, calculating when the Herrscher of Ice will return, while madness represents his resolve—the resolve to not turn back until he hits a wall, to walk to the end even with his eyes closed.

The power of thunder, unleash its full force!

There was no reservation; at least Ryan in front of the Herrscher had gone berserk, pressing down on the scepter and delivering a straight kick.

wow-

Thunder surged forth, causing distant buildings to crumble inch by inch. Eyes locked onto the Herrscher to the side, seeing her thrust out her cane.

Like an invisible blade, the power compressed to its limit instantly pierced through the defense, and Ryan met it with his sword, his wrist spinning rapidly.

Twisted sword.

buzzing.

Sword and staff intertwined, heading straight for each other's chests, but the Herrscher of Wind suddenly paused in her forward motion.

In terms of destructive power, I am no match for him; I must keep my distance.

She remained calm, knowing that the other party had exercised some restraint in his authority. What was even more troubling was that this human's skills were too strong, making close combat extremely disadvantageous.

Storm scattering!

The compressed airflow, like a steel cone, suddenly exploded, and a significant shockwave rippled out between the two people.

The Lawbringer merged into the wind, using the air currents to retreat, but the city's complex architecture forced him to smash through buildings with his body.

If you're not fast enough, he'll catch up.

Two seconds later, the Herrscher of Wind sensed something was wrong, raised her cane, and swung it fiercely.

Storm Hammer.

Like a giant wielding an invisible hammer, a building shattered instantly like building blocks, and the oncoming lightning bolt stopped abruptly, pressed to the ground by the giant hammer.

The cement road cracked and sank. Ryan, in a horse stance, raised his hands and fought back with all his might, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Just as the Herrscher retreated, a straight sword spun down, grazing her back and leaving a sword mark more than ten meters long behind her.

thump—

A muffled thud came from ahead. Feng Lu looked up and saw that the ground had completely caved in. Just as she was searching, the ground suddenly broke open and a hand grabbed her ankle.

underground?!

As her body involuntarily sank downwards, she didn't care about anything else. The air currents lifted her short skirt, raising her body upwards, but she felt no resistance.

Ryan let her drag him off the ground and put his feet on the ground before activating his authority.

Magnetic attraction.

For a moment, Ryan felt as if he had become one with the earth. Feeling the tearing pain in his shoulder, he suddenly exerted force, straightened his body, and slammed the Herrscher to the ground.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

He slapped back and forth until a sharp pain shot through his right arm. The air currents felt like blades cutting into his body, and in an instant, his arm was mangled and bloody. Only then did he muster all his strength and throw the Herrscher away.

Houses collapsed and crumbled in large swaths, and the white line stretched from the edge of the city to its center.

"The energy is being consumed too quickly." Feng Lu's pupils contracted slightly. The terrain was too complex, and Ryan's attacks were too heavy, requiring her to expend a lot of energy to fight back.

As a 'mage' and the king of the sky, it would be unwise for him to fight a 'warrior' on the ground, but Ryan just wouldn't leave him like a leech.

As lightning flashed once more in the distance, she had no choice but to face the man with murderous intent.

Storm, roar!

A giant tornado appeared out of nowhere, roaring and tearing everything around it. It was indeed ambushed and its energy was being depleted quickly, but it was still stronger than this human!

"Let's see how many times you can get through it."

It seemed like a battle of wits, but she quickly realized something was wrong, because the tornado had been dyed black, and there were electric arcs trembling between the particles.

This is......

Ryan didn't intend to sprint, or rather, his straightforward and aggressive style was misleading.

You think I'm brave? Actually, I'm incredibly cunning.

The lightning generated by the accumulated power was not a prelude to a sprint, but rather used electromagnetic force to peel away the iron sand, which was then sucked into the tornado.

Funeral procession.

Ryan raised his hand and clenched it, causing the iron sand that had been drawn in to collapse towards the center. Then, another tornado surged up from within the tornado, scattering the compressed iron sand everywhere.

As expected of a Herrscher, your reaction is quick. Let me calculate how much energy you still have left.

Iron sand gathered from the sky, forming a hundred-meter-long heavy sword that slashed down fiercely. The sword disintegrated in the hurricane, but then reformed under electromagnetic force.

On their third meeting, Ryan had two small changes.

First, he killed Shesa, increasing the Honkai energy by 20%; second, Ryan became more adept at wielding power.

cut!

The second hurricane was finally cut through, as the central building had long been razed to the ground. The Herrscher of Wind finally faced Ryan directly, a conflict between reason and murderous intent.

One kilometer, two people, a moment of silence, then the wind rises and thunder roars.

"Binglu will arrive in thirty minutes. Let's finish this quickly."
