"Come on! Crush him!" Quentin roared at the top of his lungs. Although he could feel the pressure from
Rocky's astounding strength, he still had the confidence to win over Rocky.
On the other hand, Rocky seemed to be rather relaxed as if he was not taking his opponent seriously.
He just stood firmly, manipulating the God-killing Sword to dance in the air as he restrained the
humongous Spectral King.
Witnessing this incredible scene, everyone present was stunned. They could clearly sense Rocky's
marvelous strength, but it seemed that it was nowhere near his limit yet.
At the same time, the Spectral King also roared back, not showing any hints of weakness in front of its
opponent. Then, in an instant, an imposing demonic power surged out, making the entire field on the
verge of collapse. In fact, even the outer part of the field was affected. Hence, the spectators quickly
retreated, protecting themselves from being caught up in the battle.
Afterward, Rocky launched a counterattack, commanding the sword shadows to swarm towards the
Spectral King like a raging tide. At the same time, the demonic power of the Spectral King chased
down the sword shadows.
In a flash, the two vicious forces collided with each other, sending a wave of spiritual power in all
directions. Even the clouds up in the sky were disturbed and formed into what looked like a rancorous
storm that was about to wipe off the world.
Then, during the chaos, the sword shadows hovering all over the sky suddenly merged and formed one
huge sword that pierced through the body of the Spectral King.
Immediately after, the Spectral King let out a roar of pain. Eventually, its huge body fell to the ground as
if a mountain collapsed. Then, upon crashing towards the ground, dust rose, filling the air.
This scene obviously made the crowd go crazy. After all, no one expected that the monstrous Spectral
King would be taken down in a single move.
At the same time, Quentin spurted a mouthful of blood. He lost his balance in midair and almost fell to
the ground.
"How is this possible? How could you be this powerful?" Standing on unsteady footing, Quentin stared
at Rocky in disbelief. He was at a loss that even the Spectral King was not a match before Rocky's
God-killing Sword.
"Are you ready to admit your defeat?" Rocky slowly approached Quentin with his hands on his back
and suggested that he should surrender.
"Ha! No way!" Though Quentin was slightly weakened, he still had the strength to continue fighting.
Hence, the next moment, when he thought that Rocky had let down his guard, he swiftly rushed
towards Rocky, intending to deliver a fatal blow.
However, Rocky could see Quentin's movements even from afar. In an instant, he turned into a light
shadow and also rushed towards his opponent straight ahead.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the two candidates collided in the air and also separated immediately after.
Since their movements were so fast, some people from the crowd were not able to clearly see what
exactly happened.
But then a moment later, one of the figures was sent flying, creating a shallow pit as he crashed on the
ground. After quite a while, the figure who fell to the ground did not react. At the same time, the other
figure finally landed on the ground.
At this moment, there was pure silence. Everyone's eyes were focused on the shadow of the figure
who landed on the ground. Eventually, the dust settled, and the face of the one standing was revealed.
Upon recognizing that it was none other than Basil, the audience instantly burst into an uproar.
Everyone in the audience could not help but be flabbergasted by Rocky's strength and performance.
Earlier, when they saw that Quentin had unleashed his power to the limit and even summoned a
monster at the peak stage of the Emperor Realm, no one really thought that Rocky could overturn the
situation.
Moreover, just now, Rocky's attack did not even contain any spiritual power, but he still managed to
send Quentin flying to the ground. In the eyes of the insightful representatives from various forces of
the human race and the spiritual race, even an ordinary Spiritual Emperor at the peak stage might not
be able to do that.
Hence, aside from admiration and respect for Rocky's strength, most of them were actually frightened
of him. After all, his potentials were absolutely inhuman.
In fact, it could be said that he might be the most powerful being among the human race and the
spiritual race right now.
Though they still couldn't gauge the extent of Rocky's strength, just by judging from the fact that he
could beat Quentin with a single ordinary move, it was clear that his limitation was unfathomable. They
deemed that he was the type of person that shouldn't be offended.
"Awesome... Basil is just awesome!" At this moment, Eunice, Carla, and Lilith could not help but cheer
loudly upon seeing how Rocky outlasted Quentin effortlessly.
However, it seemed that Quentin was still not ready to give up. He slowly stood up from the ground and
spat out another mouthful of blood. At this point, he was struggling to even stand up straight, but his
spirit was still unyielding. He then raised his head and glared at Rocky coldly. Out of nowhere, a bitter
sneer showed on his face as if saying that he could not accept the fact that he was defeated by this
man in front of him.
Although Quentin was now in a miserable state, Rocky could not afford to show mercy since they were
still enemies.
At his current condition, there was almost no fighting power left in Quentin's body because Rocky
destroyed most of his meridians in the previous blow. In fact, even the innate spiritual power source
that was only possessed by the members of the Shura Race was badly damaged.
Fortunately for Quentin, his body was more durable than ordinary creatures because he was a member
of the Shura Race. If it wasn't for his sturdy physique, he might have been killed by that blow earlier.
Of course, Quentin could also feel how seriously injured his body was. However, his eyes were still
burning with fighting spirit, unwilling to admit defeat no matter what.
The pride of being a member of the Shura Race was what kept him from surrendering. At the back of
his mind, it would be totally humiliating for a Godly Genius like him to be defeated by a mere human.
"You know that I could have killed you back then, but I still let you live. Now that you are in that state, I
won't make this any harder for you. Just admit defeat and this will be over," Rocky uttered as he coldly
stared at Quentin.
"Ha-ha! Admit defeat? Don't think so highly of yourself!" Quentin immediately retorted. Actually,
although he was badly injured, he still had one last trump card to play. However, as soon as he used
this, his identity as a member of the Shura Race would be exposed. Hence, he was still hesitating to
use that option.
"Fine. I know that you don't want to give up just yet because you still have a final trump card to employ.
However, I also know that you can't just use it here for some reason or you would have used it way
before. Well, I don't mind fighting you even if you had to use your last trick. I am just reminding you that
you're doom to lose this one no matter what you try..." Rocky stated everything vaguely, but he wanted
Quentin to think that he had seen through everything already. Since Rocky had fought with a lot of
members of the Shura Race before, he came to know that they could activate their blood power and
demonize themselves when they had no option left and they were clinging for their lives. It was actually
what Drew did in their match.
However, it seemed that Quentin was a bit more reasonable than Drew, so he was really hesitating to
use this last resort.
As long as he wouldn't resort to demonizing himself, Rocky did not intend to kill him. After all, he
planned on using him to deal with Israel later on.
However, Quentin felt even more humiliated when Rocky talked down upon him. As a Godly Genius, he
could not tolerate such a disgrace. He thought that if this news spread in the Shura Race, he would
inevitably become a laughingstock.
"Then, kill me if you dare!" As he finally made up his mind, Quentin wielded the Spectral King Claw in
his hand and rushed towards Rocky.
Seeing this, the people present were actually stunned at Quentin's toughness. They did not expect that
he would be so strong-willed that he would rather die than admit defeat.
However, for the other Godly Geniuses, this was a foolish move that would be favorable for them.
Hence, they were not really bothered by it.
At the same time, Rocky already predicted that it might come to this. So, when he saw Quentin rushing
towards him, he still stayed calm. Then, he waved his hand, summoning the God-killing Sword in an
instant. Afterward, the sword bolted towards Quentin and landed before him, restraining his movements
and blocking him off.
"You really are courting for death, aren't you? I even let you live, but you chose to be stupid in the end.
If that's really what you want, then fine, I'll grant your wish." After Rocky finished speaking, a peculiar-
looking pill appeared on his hand. Then, with a flick of his finger, the pill shot out and flew directly into
Quentin's mouth.
"Ahem! Ahem!" Quentin was caught off guard, not knowing what he just swallowed. Then, he glared at
Rocky and yelled, "You, bastard! What did I just swallow?"
"What else? You wanted to die than admit defeat, right? Then, I made you eat something extremely
poisonous. It means that you're going to die soon enough," Rocky uttered coldly.
When everyone heard these words from Rocky, they all felt a sudden chill down their spines. They
thought that this was such a cruel action. He could have killed Quentin with just a single sword strike,
but instead, he decided to kill him slowly and painfully using poison. This was obviously worse than
killing him right away.
However, what they did not know was that Rocky did not feed Quentin a poisonous pill. In fact, it was a
kind of medicine that Esteban gave him. It was enough to temporarily stop Quentin's injuries from
worsening.
