Lord of the Truth

Chapter 697 A Third

Richard and Dawoodar each clenched their fists back and jumped towards the other with unstoppable momentum, both intending to finish off the other party with this one attack.

*Rumble*

For a moment, it was as if time had stopped in everyone's eyes.

The dark red glow and intense green glow got even brighter and higher until they reached the sky, some low-level soldiers were unable to open their eyes and see what was happening.

The Martial Emperors however saw everything clearly. The ground beneath Richard and Dawoodar's feet swayed downward for dozens of meters, the fog lifted around them, and the storm that was clouding the sky split in two, and even the space between them seemed to be shaking violently, trying to hold itself together.

And for some reason, they noticed the gentle smile on Richard's eyes...

'It's happening... It's happening...' Richard repeated to himself as he rushed forward, irresponsibly burning up his reserves of life energy.

The life energy he extracted from the 50 million giants was fading like crazy. After all, this was not life energy extracted from emperors, but most of it from ordinary mortals, nor was it life energy still carefully stored in their veins. It was merely life energy extracted from dead beings, something that should not exist in nature! The thing that prevents this energy from disappearing completely is that Richard traps it and prevents it from spreading. The second is that Life Energy is somewhat different from natural energy, as it is much thicker and does not merge with it until some time passes, they are somewhat like oil and water and this is one of the reasons that helps Richard keep it by his side.

But the life energy that Richard collected still undoubtedly tends to leave him. It is always and forever seeking to disintegrate and return to the planet again to begin a new cycle, and now is its chance... Whether when Richard consumed it to heal Peon, or when he decided to consume it now to push his limits to new levels, the life energy he had gathered seemed to become conscious and began to rush to burn first, with every passing second the life energy of thousands of people were burnt!

It is true that Dawoodar has used up most of his life's energy, but Richard is also about to use up his reserve.

However, Richard was smiling as he saw the face of old Dawoodar approaching him angrily.

In less than a second everything will be decided, death or victory, joining his mother or achieving revenge, everything is in his hands now, NO ONE CAN STOP HIM NOW!!

"Your Majesty!"

"Richard, are you okay?!"

As an involuntary reaction, everyone cried and began searching for the bodies of Richard and Dawoodar. They looked and sent their soul senses throughout the city except at the site of the collision because, in their point of view, it was impossible for the two to remain standing in their place after this massive explosion!

Everyone knew that the fight was decided without a doubt, and even if one of them was not defeated immediately, at least they both lost an arm now, no, perhaps even more.

This power they had acquired by sacrificing life energy was not something their bodies could handle yet, even if they managed to defend themselves, their immense strength was enough to destroy them from the inside!

They have both reached the limits of what they can understand about Power!!

However, after about a minute had passed, no one found the bodies of Richard and Dawoodar. Some of them thought that they had immediately evaporated from the determination to attack, and this was not something unexpected given the power they felt!

"...Hmm? Look over there."

Something strange appeared before everyone's eyes as soon as the dust settled...

There were shadows still standing in the dent created by the clash between the two

"Is it possible that they are still there? How could they not have been thrown backward? ..No, this is..?" One of the Wind User Human Emperors stepped forward and with a wave of his hand, all the dust cleared away, but he quickly took a few steps back again, "What the...?!"

Richard and Dawoodar were still standing in the same place, to be more specific, both of them were still in a punching position, but the look in their eyes had changed from anger and revenge to panic and fear.

There was a third person standing between them, holding each of their fists with one hand. Under everyone's gaze, that person nodded with a smile, "Hmm, good punch!"
