Liu Batian looked at the people lying on the ground and smiled smugly. The sense of superiority he had felt after past victories surged through him once more.
He looked down at them and sneered. “A bunch of useless weaklings. The energy fermentation facility on Earth will be your grave. Die, all of you! Hahahaha!”
Guo Cijiu's eyes glowed red with fury as he roared, “I hate it when people call me useless! I'll fight you to the death!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Liu Batian's body slammed against the metal pillars, sending sparks flying, but the layer of energy armor protecting him remained intact. He seemed to have suffered little damage, too.
Even going all out couldn't hurt Liu Batian at all?
A flicker of hesitation crossed Guo Cijiu's eyes. Then he gritted his teeth and took out the energy bracelet Xia Xue had given him.
He drained all the energy from the bracelet, and a blue glow spread from his arm to cover his entire body.
Once its energy was depleted, the bracelet quickly shrank until it was the size of a ring.
Looking at the ring in his hand, Guo Cijiu was deeply moved. “Xia Xue is so thoughtful. She stored three charges of energy for me in this bracelet and even gave me a ring to mark our love.”
He slipped it onto the ring finger of his left hand.
Filled with power, Guo Cijiu shouted back at Liu Batian, “My body is a gift from my parents, but I shape my own destiny. Even in death, I fear nothing. My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's. Today, I will destroy you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling halo of energy blazed around him, and he shot toward Liu Batian like a burning star.
His strongest attack left Liu Batian gravely wounded.
Liu Batian staggered, fell to the ground, and spat blood. It was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.
