RBCT Chapter 213 Killing Solok
Chapter 213 Killing Solok
In the live stream of the Eagle Nation's military observation room, the barrage of comments was flowing even faster than in the Great Xia.
A blond, blue-eyed commentator took off and put his headphones back on, repeatedly confirming that he hadn't misheard: "Wait, this guy named Song Chen is only eighteen? When did Great Xia produce such a monster?"
"According to the data, he survived the attack from the Giant Whale King when he was at level three," his partner added.
"At the fourth rank, he crossed the Himalayas alone; at the fifth rank, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of alien beasts in the Northern Plains; now he is fighting one-on-one with a royal heir in Greenland."
"This is absurd! An eighteen-year-old boy fighting a peak fifth-tier royal to a standstill?" The blond commentator's mouth gaped open twice as he watched another clash of swords and claws on the screen.
On the icy plains, the battle had been going on for nearly twenty minutes.
Song Chen wasn't injured, but he did lose a lot of energy.
Solock was in a worse state. Its left hind leg finally gave way. The old injury had been repeatedly attacked by Song Chen during the continuous high-intensity changes of direction, and the muscle strain had turned into a tear. Every time its left hind leg landed, it would leave a bloody claw mark on the ice.
There were two deep knife wounds under his ribs, the skin on his back was charred in three large patches by lightning, and a piece was missing from his right ear, which was shaved off when the blade's energy grazed it.
His breathing was no longer as relaxed as it had been during the war; the frequency of his chest rising and falling was noticeably faster.
But its fighting spirit did not diminish at all; on the contrary, the injury made it even more ferocious.
The bloodline of the Sirius royal family possesses a trait that grows more ferocious with each injury; the fighting spirit within their blood is only fully activated through pain.
It opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of frosty white air. Blood and saliva mixed at the corner of its mouth and dripped onto the ice, freezing instantly.
"Song Chen." Solock growled his name, his tone no longer carrying the composure he had at the beginning, but instead a twisted excitement emanating from the depths of his throat.
"You are more troublesome than I thought. Your qi and blood are not as good as mine, and your strength is not as good as mine, but you always strike the same spot with every strike."
"The accuracy is good."
"Thank you for the compliment." After saying that, Song Chen swung his sword back and slashed at Solock's left hind leg.
This cut completely ruined the leg.
Solock's vertical pupils contracted slightly, then he lunged forward.
This time it didn't charge head-on; it used all three legs to propel itself forward, its injured left hind leg barely touching the ground as its entire body sliced in from the side at an even faster speed than before.
Its tail lashed out first, the thick wolf tail covered in a layer of extreme frost, slamming into Song Chen's blade and making his arm holding the knife go numb.
Immediately following, it slapped down with its front paws, its claw energy pouring down like a torrential rain, each claw aimed at the third of Song Chen's vision obscured by ice patterns on his mask.
Fuyao's wind-based psionic energy spun rapidly around Song Chen, who dodged continuously amidst the claw shadows. His Eye of Truth projected all of Solock's attack trajectories as golden dotted lines.
He found a gap of only 0.12 seconds on the dense dotted lines, passed through the gap between the two claw-like attacks, and swung the Heavenly Blade back, unleashing the fifth strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes.
The blade's energy erupted at extremely close range, and golden-purple lightning exploded on Solock's chest, the impact sending his forepaws flying.
Solock's chest fur was blown off, revealing dark red muscles and white ribs underneath.
It let out a miserable cry and finally retreated.
With three legs, he retreated twenty meters on the ice, his left hind leg trailing behind him, leaving a blue bloodstain on the ice.
With that strike, Thorocco's eyes changed.
Its initial confidence and pride shattered after that one strike, and it realized it might actually die.
At the peak of the fifth tier, the son of the Sirius King, and the heir to the royal family, he lost to a human at the initial stage of the fifth tier in a head-on one-on-one battle.
This realization hurt it more than any knife wound.
Its chest heaved violently, and fear appeared in its pupils for the first time.
Song Chen gave it no time to breathe. He spun the Heavenly Blade halfway in his hand, and the sixth strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes was ready to be unleashed.
The lightning on the blade changed from golden-purple to crimson-gold, and the blade's energy began to condense.
Solock looked at the changing color of the blade energy, then suddenly looked up and let out a mournful howl.
This howl was completely different from the one before the battle. Before the battle, it was excitement, a challenge, and a declaration from a top predator when facing its prey.
This cry was a plea for help, the final lament of a dying wolf calling upon its pack.
"All of you, come up here and tear this human apart!"
On the surrounding ice, twelve Tier 5 Royal Guard Wolves all raised their heads.
They waited for twenty minutes, which was too long.
They didn't understand when Solock told them to retreat, but now, hearing the summons, the twelve giant wolves pounced from all sides at the same time, their claw shadows and frost covering the sky.
Song Chen did not sheathe his sword.
He pushed off with his feet, using his soaring movement technique to push his speed to the limit, and his whole body passed through the gap between the two wolves that pounced first.
The claws of the two celestial wolves grazed the shoulder armor of the Northern Darkness Battle Armor, sending up two strings of golden sparks.
He ignored him; his target was Solock, who was dragging his injured leg backward.
The seventh strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes descended from the sky, its crimson-gold blade energy drawing an arc of light in the air. The blade energy was over a hundred meters long and its width covered all of Solock's escape routes.
Solock leaped up on three legs, trying to dodge the core area of the blade's energy.
It did dodge the vital point, but the tail of the blade swept across its hind leg, its already injured left hind leg.
A crimson-gold lightning bolt exploded on his left hind leg, severing his fur, muscles, and blood vessels with a clean, sharp cut.
Solock's massive body lost its balance in mid-air, his severed leg cleanly cut open at the knee, blood gushing out, the bone at the break point stark white.
It crashed onto the ice, creating a deep crater.
It struggled to stand up on its three legs, but the excruciating pain from its broken leg made its howls sound distorted.
The surrounding Sirius guards had already pounced.
Song Chen did not back down. He unleashed his full power in his lightning domain, enveloping the three fastest wolves in golden-purple arcs of electricity.
The three-headed wolf lost control of its muscles, causing its attack to pause briefly.
In that brief pause, he caught up with Solock, holding the Heavenly Blade upside down, with Heavenly Thunder from the Nine Heavens condensing at its tip.
Golden blade energy descended from the sky. Solock crossed his two front paws to block it above his head. The claws and the blade energy collided, producing a deafening metallic clang.
Its forepaws were forcefully pressed down by the blade's energy, cracks appeared on the claw blades, and the cracks spread along the claw blades to the back of the claws. The bones of the entire forepaw creaked under the heavy pressure of the blade's energy.
"Humans..." Solock squeezed out the word through clenched teeth.
Immediately, the tip of the Heavenly Blade pierced through its crossed forepaws and plunged into its chest cavity.
The Sirius's heart is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest cavity; the Eye of Truth has already pinpointed its coordinates.
The blade tip precisely pierced the left atrium, and heavenly thunder poured into the heart along the blade, exploding inside the ventricle.
The sound of thunder exploding within his body was muffled and deep. Solock convulsed all over, the muscles in his limbs spasming simultaneously, his claws unconsciously digging six deep trenches into the ground.
Those amber-colored vertical pupils slowly lost their luster, and the golden patterns deep within their pupils faded away.
