The entire forest was instantly half destroyed.
Flames shot into the sky, like the end of the world, spreading relentlessly and devouring everything in their path.
The live chat exploded with comments at that moment.
Holy crap, that's amazing! What the hell is that?!
[These explosion effects are amazing! They look so real!]
[Is it possible that Pig Slayer will survive? Who could withstand such a terrifying explosion?]
[Isn't that obvious? They're definitely dead. With such a terrifying explosion, I suspect they all died inside too.]
Niu Niu was shocked by the sudden influx of spectators, but she tried her best to remain calm.
He glanced at his task panel and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, don't worry, it's not over yet. There's no mission notification. Zhu Shitian should still be alive."
What?! They're still alive after that explosion?! How is that possible?!
All the players present noticed the quest notification on the quest panel, which still hadn't refreshed.
This means that Zhu Shitian actually survived this horrific explosion.
"Everyone be careful, the mission is not over yet."
The wind and snow on the control tower issued another command, his tone tinged with seriousness.
"Brother Tian, how are you all?"
Xu Tian's voice came from inside the obsidian box.
"It's alright, we're in the box, nothing's wrong."
Lu Chen couldn't wait any longer. He swung his diamond pickaxe and began digging into the obsidian block.
"Crack! Crack!"
Soon, an exit was dug out, and Lu Chen rushed out without thinking.
Xu Tian followed closely behind, rushing out of the cover.
What came into view was the scorched earth leveled to the ground, and countless flames still burning fiercely. The once lush forest had now been turned into a sea of fire and ruins.
Not far away, the enormous and battered Zhu Shitian was still sitting in the same spot.
The four of them, including Zhu Meng Er, clung tightly to Zhu Shi Tian, using their bodies to shield him from most of the damage from the explosion.
They gathered all the magic power within them onto Zhu Shitian, creating a precarious defensive barrier that blocked the fatal blow.
However, the price was that the four fierce generals were now on their last legs, their magic power exhausted, their bodies charred black, and they were barely clinging to life.
Zhu Shitian himself was also exhausted of magic power, severely injured, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Looking at the scene, and at Zhu Shitian's exhausted and disheveled appearance, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with a complex emotion.
He slowly raised the spear in his hand and walked step by step toward Zhu Shitian.
Xu Tian looked at Lu Chen's actions, as if he had thought of something.
He knew that there was a grudge between Lu Chen and Zhu Shitian, and that Lu Chen had died at Zhu Shitian's hands.
"He probably wants to take revenge himself..."
Xu Tian thought to himself.
"Forget it, let Lu Chen go by himself. Anyway, there's no reward for killing this BOSS, so let him fulfill his wish."
Chapter 148 The Battle of Revenge
Zhu Shitian looked at Lu Chen walking towards him from a distance. In his eyes, there was no longer anger or fear, only endless weariness and sorrow.
"I have no magic now."
Zhu Shitian's voice was hoarse, tinged with self-mockery.
Are you here to laugh at me?
Lu Chen didn't speak, but kept walking towards Zhu Shitian step by step.
When he was about 100 meters away from Zhu Shitian, he suddenly stopped.
He slowly removed the [Eye of the Frost Giant] from his face and then threw it away.
The mask crashed onto the charred ground.
Lu Chen continued walking, then took off the [Spirit Wind Waistband] that emanated a powerful aura and was engraved with complex runes from his waist and threw it on the ground again.
"Splash!"
Then, he began to remove his other equipment piece by piece.
[Thunder Ring] [Flame Ring]... piece after piece of equipment was thrown at his feet, scattered on the scorched earth.
When Lu Chen walked to within fifty meters of Zhu Shitian again, he was only wearing a pair of ordinary trousers and a flaming spear in his hand that emitted a faint flame and had four attributes.
Zhu Shitian stared at Lu Chen's actions, his scarlet eyes momentarily widening in surprise.
It seemed to understand something.
Without pausing, Lu Chen slammed the four-striped spear, which was radiating flames, into the ground not far away.
"Buzz!"
The spear pierced the scorched earth, humming as it went.
Then, Lu Chen took out a flaming spear with a dull color and only two inscriptions from his backpack.
He raised the gun and aimed it at Zhu Shitian.
As Zhu Shitian looked at the spear in Lu Chen's hand and at Lu Chen's resolute face, memories of the past surged into his mind like a tide.
It understood.
It fully understood what Lu Chen meant.
Lu Chen wants to take revenge on me.
But instead of taking advantage of its vulnerability, he removed all his powerful equipment and placed himself in the same situation as it had been.
There is no magic, only physical combat.
Lu Chen's move was to turn this battle of revenge into a fair, pure fight that was solely about physical strength and willpower.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the state they were in when Lu Chen fought with it.
On Zhu Shitian's weary face, a smile suddenly appeared—a smile that was both tragic and relieved.
"it is good……"
Zhu Shitian's hoarse voice carried a hint of relief.
"Since you're going to die anyway, I'll grant you your last wish."
With difficulty, it reached out and carefully pushed away the four fierce generals, including Pig Meng Er, who were clinging to its body and were on the verge of death.
Although their magic was exhausted, they remained absolutely loyal to Zhu Shitian.
Then, despite his severe injuries, Zhu Shitian's massive body struggled to its feet.
Its eyes regained a glimmer of light, and with a resolute expression, it walked step by step toward Lu Chen.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the firelight illuminated the two figures.
All the players consciously stopped cleaning up the battlefield and focused their attention on the ruins and the upcoming one-on-one duel.
In Xu Tian's live stream, the chat exploded once again.
[Holy crap, why isn't the streamer up? Why did he go on a one-on-one fight early in the morning?]
[Yeah, why did he take off all his gear in the early morning? He's only left with a broken gun, what's he going to do?]
[This Pig Slayer is a BOSS, isn't Qingchen being far too arrogant?]
Xu Tian looked at the puzzled comments and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
He took a deep breath, and with a touch of emotion in his voice, explained to the viewers in the live stream.
"What you may not know is that when we first met Zhu Shitian, it wasn't in its current form. Back then, it was just a pig-headed man without magic."
Xu Tian continued.
"At that time, Qingchen was defeated by that pig Shitian who had no magic and was mocked for not being able to use a gun and only relying on weapons."
"And now..."
Xu Tian's gaze fell upon the center of the ruins, where Lu Chen and Zhu Shitian stood facing each other.
"Zhu Shitian, because it forcibly mobilized all its magic to defend against the explosion, has now exhausted its magic and turned into a pig-headed man without magic."
"At dawn, he also took off all his equipment, leaving only the old long spear with only two entries and the most ordinary clothes."
Xu Tian paused, his tone full of understanding and respect for Lu Chen.
"So, as you all see, this is exactly the scene from back then. Their business is their own grudge, and I won't get involved. This is a revenge battle in the early morning; he's going to end it all himself in the same way he did back then."
Only then did everyone realize that this seemingly one-on-one duel actually had such a profound meaning.
The chat instantly fell silent; everyone held their breath, awaiting the start of this fateful battle.
Lu Chen slowly took a step forward, holding the old spear with only two entries in his hand. The spear was plain and unadorned, without any gleam.
However, his eyes were sharper than ever, and every step he took carried a heavy sense of revenge.
Zhu Shitian's massive body was no longer protected by magic; all that remained was his tough skin and brute strength.
It stared at Lu Chen, its eyes filled with seriousness, not contempt.
It understood that although the human before it had removed all his equipment, the restrained killing intent emanating from him was more intense than ever before.
"what!"
Lu Chen let out a low roar. He made no fancy moves, just a simple straight thrust.
However, this thrust was as fast as lightning, carrying a whooshing sound, and aimed straight for Zhu Shitian's face.
