Zither Emperor Chapter 764 Chapter 243 Emperor Zi Battles Bear King Part 2

764: Chapter 243 Emperor Zi Battles Bear King (Part 2) 764: Chapter 243 Emperor Zi Battles Bear King (Part 2) As Zi Yi advanced to within three hundred meters of the Legion of Berserker Bear, he finally halted his steps.

The Amethyst Great Sword he dragged beside him slowly lifted, its massive blade pointing towards Anthony.

“I, the inheritor of the Beast God Bloodline, leader of the Four Sacred Beasts, the Amethyst Behemoth, issue a challenge to you.

You may choose any hundred men from your army to stand against me.”

Anthony was taken aback, his heart skipping a beat.

Facing Zi’s challenge, it was almost impossible for him to refuse.

As the Chieftain of the Solomon Tribe, in front of his direct troops of fifty thousand from the Legion of Berserker Bear, if he were to show cowardice today, not to mention the massive impact it would have on the morale of the Berserker Bear Legion, he would never be able to hold his head up in the Solomon Tribe again.

The Amethyst Behemoth truly lives up to its name!

By proposing a challenge that he absolutely could not refuse, Anthony felt a vague sense of disaster that the three major tribes might indeed suffer due to the emergence of His Highness Emperor Zi.

Zi’s voice was loud enough to reach every warrior of the Legion of Berserker Bear, who stopped their advance without an order.

Their gaze converged upon their Clan Leader.

Even with the appearance of the Amethyst Behemoth, the warriors of the Legion of Berserker Bear would not waver in their loyalty to their Clan Leader, but faced with a challenge from a powerful being, they all maintained silence, respecting the ancient Beastman way of dueling.

In the Beastman world, the strongest are revered; there are only those who die in battle, never cowards who flee.

Once one shows cowardice, it doesn’t matter if Anthony was a Chieftain—if he were just an ordinary Beastman, he would be despised by all.

The challenge proposed by Zi was fair.

With the reputation of the Amethyst Behemoth, of course, Anthony could not pare, so Zi allowed him to lead a hundred troops.

Under these fair conditions, Anthony could lose the battle, but absolutely could not back down.

Otherwise, he would be the criminal of the Solomon Tribe.

A fierce fighting intent suddenly spread from the Bear King’s eyes, and his colossal stature of seven meters took a step forward, “Good, I accept your challenge.

To battle with the Amethyst Behemoth, even in death, Anthony will have no regrets.

But, even if I lose, the Solomon Tribe will not submit easily; my warriors will fight to the end.”

Zi snorted coldly, “No one asked you to submit.

If you lose, take your warriors and roll back into the Fortress.

If you win, my title as Emperor Amethyst is yours.

Choose your men.”

Confidence, that was absolute confidence.

Anthony, mimicking Zi’s gesture, dragged his six-meter-long giant Wolf Fang Club alongside him, stepping towards Zi step by step, “Since it’s a duel, then it must be absolutely fair.

Regardless of winning or losing, the Solomon Tribe never fears.

His Highness Emperor Zi, let us fight with equity.

Even if I die under your sword, Anthony will have no regrets.”

Since arriving at Solomon Fortress, Zi was moved for the first time.

He saw in Anthony’s solemn gaze the dignity of a Beastman Warrior.

At that moment, his expression was no longer aloof, and he slowly lifted the great sword in his hand, striking his own chest with the massive blade, emitting a resounding clang.

This was the ritual of a Beastman duel.

That the Amethyst Behemoth would perform such a ritual, Anthony was the first.

A look of gratitude shone from Anthony’s eyes.

Despite their opposition, the respect Zi showed him was greatly forting to Anthony.

Ignoring the spikes on his Wolf Fang Club, he too struck it against his chest, the sharp wolf fangs creating several bloody holes, but Anthony acted as if he felt nothing.

The Legion of Behemoth Beasts, posed of three hundred Behemoth Monsters, and the most elite from the Legion of Berserker Bear of the Solomon Tribe, roared towards the sky almost simultaneously.

The roar of the Behemoth Monsters was because their king had finally returned, especially those from the Solomon Tribe who wished to witness the king’s might with their own eyes.

The bellowing of the Berserker Bear Legion was for Anthony’s courage and the acknowledgment by the Amethyst Behemoth of their Chieftain.

Despite their loyalty to Anthony, these Bear People knew the legend of the Amethyst Behemoth and the Four Sacred Beasts.

Even though they were utterly loyal to Anthony, they too were unsettled.

And just then, Anthony, with his own courage, stirred the fighting will and spirit of the Berserker Bear Legion.

As Anthony had said, even if he died at the hands of Zi, the present Legion of Berserker Bear would still not fall apart; they would still follow Anthony’s orders to launch an attack against Zi and the Legion of Behemoth Beasts.

Standing up to powerful foes, even in death, was the glory of the Solomon Tribe.

Zi’s eyes revealed admiration as he slowly raised the sword with his right hand from his side, the translucent purple light spreading from his body to the entire blade in an instant, causing the aura of the Amethyst to radiate in all directions.

His body was already over three meters taller than Anthony, and now, bathed in the shimmering amethyst glow, his presence pletely overwhelmed his opponent.

Feeling the pull of his opponent’s energy, Anthony knew that he couldn’t allow Zi to continue boosting his aura any further; otherwise, when the Amethyst Behemoth reached its peak momentum, the full-blown strike it would deliver would be impossible for him to withstand.

Anthony suddenly stepped forward, gripping his hefty Wolf Fang Club and swinging it fiercely from his side, letting out a roar.

A surge of deep purple light erupted from his entire body.

Leveraging the step he had taken forward, he forcefully raised his own aura, driving the energy from his foot through his leg and waist, then transferring it to his back and arms.

He concentrated all his strength and Douqi, lifting the Wolf Fang Club diagonally from below and aiming a thunderous blow towards Zi’s chest.

In the face of the Amethyst Behemoth’s oppressive aura, Anthony’s potential burst forth to its limit.

This seemingly simple upward strike had already gathered all his power.

Both his aura and Douqi reached unprecedented peaks.

Beastmen have their own ways of fighting, especially in duels among the powerful warrior races.

Strength is the most revered ability among Beastmen, and during a duel, neither side can afford to retreat easily.

To do so would not only bolster the opponent’s momentum but also earn the contempt of all onlookers.

Being an Amethyst Behemoth and the one who issued the challenge, Zi naturally wouldn’t retreat.

As the massive Wolf Fang Club whistled towards him, he abruptly dragged his right hand holding the Amethyst Great Sword sideways.

After being reforged, the length of the Amethyst Great Sword had exceeded seventeen meters.

Anthony had closed the distance between them with his first move; thus, the length advantage of Zi’s sword now became a hindrance, offering no chance to swing his Heavy Sword.

But who was Zi?

He was the foremost among the Four Sacred Beasts, the legendary king among the Beastman Clan.

Faced with Anthony’s full-powered strike, Zi pulled over the Amethyst Heavy Sword and dragged it horizontally, countering the hefty Wolf Fang Club with the broad blade of his sword.

Boom—

The Douqi erupted thunderously as the two massive and fearsome weapons collided right in front of Zi’s chest.

Anthony’s arms bulged with thick muscles, and snake-like veins entwined his arms.

His body seemed to swell as if inflated.

With this strike, he had indeed used all his strength.

The Amethyst Great Sword and the Wolf Fang Club didn’t separate; instead, they stuck together.

With all his strength, Anthony attempted to flick away the Great Sword.

If he could just pry it open, his attack could drive forward without any room for the massive sword to parry.

However, the heat within Anthony quickly cooled when he realized, to his astonishment, that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make the Amethyst Great Sword in front of him budge an inch.

Zi’s expression remained calm as he felt the overwhelming strength of the Amethyst Behemoth up close.

Anthony’s aura was steadily ebbing away.

Even though Zi was only using one arm, his arm was as solid and immutable as if cast in bronze and iron, as though fused to the Amethyst Great Sword.

The spikes at the point where the Wolf Fang Club had made contact with the Great Sword had vanished in the violent collision.

The only change in Zi now was that his right arm had bee brighter, his body’s amethyst-like transparency increasing.

“Your strength is impressive.

Even without considering Douqi, I doubt there is anyone among the Bear People who is stronger than you.

But Anthony, you have forgotten one thing.

Here in the Northernmost Wilderness, when it es to strength, is there any race that can pare with the Behemoth Beasts?

Even the giant dragons of the Human World can’t rival our Behemoth Tribe in strength.

As an Amethyst Behemoth, my power is not something you can contend with.”

For some reason, the normally taciturn Zi was saying a lot.

As Zi’s last sentence ended, the Amethyst Great Sword shone even more brightly.

All of a sudden, Anthony felt an irresistible force emanating from the Wolf Fang Club, throwing his body uncontrollably backward.

Despite his desperate attempts to scrape the club along the ground to resist, he was forced back by more than ten steps, leaving behind deep footprints.

All he managed to do was keep himself from falling.

Zi made his move, stepping forward as if every motion was precisely calculated.

When the vast Amethyst Great Sword fell like a rainbow from the heavens, its sharp tip perfectly aimed at Anthony’s head.

Anthony, who had just regained his footing, had no opportunity to dodge the oning Amethyst Great Sword.

Zi’s seemingly cumbersome body and weapon unleashed a velocity that shocked the Bear King.

He knew that the gap between him and Zi was ultimately insurmountable.

The crystal-clear purple light, like purple flames, burst forth from the Amethyst Great Sword.

Despite only a single collision with Anthony before, no one knew that Zi had already exerted his full strength, and the real difference was far less than what it seemed on the surface.
