Chapter 958: Showdown at the End Times Canyon

Nie Yan stayed in the Dark Dead Zone, continuously leveling up. Quickly, two days passed.

The portal of the Dark Dead Zone would not open until thirty days later, so Nie Yan had no way to leave the area for now.

Unsure of how this challenge would end, Nie Yan also opened his video feed and began paying attention to the situation at the Doomsday Canyon.

At the Doomsday Canyon, an unprecedented event was taking place. The area was bustling with players everywhere.

No fewer than one hundred thousand top-level players from both the Dark and Light factions had gathered here. They were clearly divided into two opposing forces, facing each other from a distance. In the center of the canyon, an area spanning two to three hundred yards had been cleared. The top experts from both the Bull Man Tribe and Angel’s Fall had already arrived.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang (Crazy Proud Battle Spear) and God King led a force of two to three thousand people. However, Duo Duo, the leader of Angel’s Fall, was notably absent.

As for the Bull Man Tribe side, Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Blade Light), Shui Se Yan Tou (Water-colored Cigarette), and about fifty to sixty top experts stood at the forefront, while another two to three thousand players formed an outer perimeter for security. Although this was merely a 10v10 duel, the stakes were high. To prevent disruptions, it was necessary to dispatch some experts.

Both sides lined up their formations, and the air was thick with tension. Some players outside the two major guilds, not under their control, had even begun skirmishing among themselves, though they couldn’t approach the central area.

“Your leader isn’t here?” Cui Can Dao Guang loudly asked, scanning the surroundings but failing to spot Duo Duo’s presence.

“For this level of duel, our leader doesn’t even need to show up!” Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang proudly replied.

Upon hearing Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang’s words, the Bull Man Tribe players were stirred into a frenzy. What an arrogant claim! We’ll see whether you can still smile after this match!

Cui Can Dao Guang shrugged, choosing not to argue. They would settle everything on the battlefield!

On Angel’s Fall’s side, God King remained calm and composed, wearing a gray cloak that concealed his expression.

At this time, Duo Duo was inside Angel’s Fall guild headquarters, watching the screen and following the developments at Doomsday Canyon. Not only him, but countless players from both factions were intently watching the live video stream. This was the highest-level confrontation between the two factions!

Each of the Bull Man Tribe and Angel’s Fall sent two representatives to mark out the duel arena on the central ground, and all preparations were completed.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang scanned the Bull Man Tribe players and asked, “Are you ready?”

“Let’s begin,” Cui Can Dao Guang replied. The Bull Man Tribe had already been ready for a while.

Everyone was familiar with the duel rules: one side sends out a player first, and the other side can choose any player to respond. The loser is eliminated, while the winner can continue to challenge until one side is completely defeated. Obviously, the side that sends out the first player has a slight disadvantage.

“We don’t want to take advantage of you. We’ll send out the first player. Hun Yu (Soul Feather), you go first!” Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said, glancing at a dark-armored Demon Blade beside him.

Hun Yu, the Demon Blade clad in black armor, strode into the arena, eliciting a wave of hushed murmurs and startled gasps from the crowd. As the top-ranked Demon Blade of the Dark Faction and the sole player to have claimed the title of Hell Hunt Soul Master, Hun Yu was undeniably among the Dark Faction’s top five—a legendary assassin!

Seeing Hun Yu as the first challenger, Cui Can Dao Guang’s expression turned serious. He had heard of Hun Yu’s reputation, a name that carried weight.

They needed someone confident enough to face him!

“I’ll go,” Lei Su (Thunder Fast) said. As a warrior facing another warrior, he wasn’t afraid of this Demon Blade before him.

Cui Can Dao Guang looked at Lei Su and, after a moment’s silence, said, “Alright, that guy isn’t easy. Be careful!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious!” Lei Su confidently replied, walking toward the arena. His golden armor and the massive golden sword on his back caused a stir among the Light Faction players.

“War God Lei Su is up!”

“I wonder who is stronger between him and Hun Yu!”

The name “War God Lei Su” was well known. The War God Cro’s Sword on his back was over two yards long and was said to have been upgraded by Lei Su to Chaos Armor, with astonishing attack power. Whether the title of War God was deserved was hard to say definitively. Among the berserkers, the Bull Man Tribe had two particularly famous members: one was War God Lei Su, and the other was Shui Se Yan Tou. Their skills were hard to distinguish between. Shui Se Yan Tou was known for his steady dueling style, while War God Lei Su was famous for his overbearing dominance.

As Lei Su and Hun Yu stood there, nearby players immediately felt two powerful auras spreading out, causing them to instinctively step back a couple of paces.

“Go, War God Lei Su!”

“Awesome, Hun Yu!”

The cheers and shouts from both sides rose and fell continuously.

The Demon Blade was renowned for his ferocious attacks and lightning-fast speed. How would this Hun Yu measure up? Lei Su drew the massive sword from his back.

Hun Yu fixed his sharp gaze on Lei Su and coldly smiled, “Meeting me today is just your bad luck!”

“Who’s unlucky remains to be seen!” Lei Su shot back without hesitation.

“Then let’s begin!” Hun Yu said without further ado.

A player responsible for refereeing issued the command to start the match. Hun Yu moved his feet and suddenly attacked. His left hand launched a fireball at Lei Su, and in a flash, his right-hand sword burst into roaring flames as he slashed downward.

Hun Yu’s movements were swift and his attacks sharp and decisive, making Lei Su’s heart tighten. However, Lei Su, with his extensive battle experience, remained calm. He swung his sword, and a brilliant sword light surged forth.

Just as Hun Yu landed after his Flash Step, he suddenly sensed an overwhelming sword aura rushing toward him, startling him. This guy’s reflexes were incredibly sharp! Hun Yu flipped backward three or four yards, barely dodging Lei Su’s War God Cro’s Sword as it grazed past his chest. Then, he abruptly lunged forward, his right-hand sword engulfed in flames, slashing down at Lei Su.

Flame Shock!

Lei Su’s strike missed, but he didn’t give Hun Yu an opening. He immediately launched a Shockwave, causing the ground to crack and flames to erupt into the air.

Blazing Sword of Flowing Fire!

Hun Yu cast a Dark Shield on himself, unflinching in the face of Lei Su’s Flame Shock. His right-hand sword transformed into a meteor, directly thrusting toward Lei Su’s throat. Sparks flew as the blade scraped against the air.

Lei Su had barely begun his Flame Shock when he noticed a black, semi-transparent shield aura surrounding Hun Yu, immediately sensing something was wrong. He abruptly halted his skill, swiftly switching to a defensive stance. He blocked with his sword, and with a crisp clang, his large blade collided with Hun Yu’s sword.

The spectators watching the duel could barely breathe. Lei Su and Hun Yu had already exchanged several moves in the blink of an eye. If it were an ordinary player facing either of them, they probably wouldn’t even survive a single move.

Lei Su and Hun Yu were evenly matched. Any slight mistake or moment of hesitation could mean defeat. The outcome might be decided in a single breath!

All the Bull Man Tribe players were holding their breath for Lei Su.

“Hun Yu’s attack is so fierce, Lei Su might lose,” Cui Can Dao Guang frowned. The Demon Blade’s attack speed was unimaginably fast, and Lei Su was constantly on the defensive.

“Not necessarily. I know Lei Su well. He’s quite cunning and has many hidden moves. I’ve been caught by them a few times. I think he’s waiting for an opportunity. Hun Yu hasn’t fought Lei Su before, so it’ll be hard for him to dodge,” Shui Se Yan Tou said. He was the most qualified to speak, as he had fought Lei Su the most times.

On Angel’s Fall’s side, Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang and others were also watching intently. They hadn’t expected Lei Su to hold his own against Hun Yu, which was somewhat surprising. It seemed they had underestimated the Bull Man Tribe! Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang felt the magical elements in the air suddenly become violent, and his heart leapt with joy—Hun Yu was about to unleash his ultimate move.

Vacuum Chain Explosion!

After several exchanges without success, Hun Yu gradually lost his patience. Originally, he had planned to save this skill for someone else, but now he would use it to end Lei Su.

Hun Yu let out a low growl. As his right-hand sword kept attacking, his left hand suddenly released a spell.

Lei Su suddenly felt intense magical fluctuations and immediately realized Hun Yu was about to use his ultimate move. As soon as Hun Yu started casting his skill, Lei Su reacted.

Spiritual Exile (Spirit Banishment)!

War God Storm!

Lei Su combined Spirit Banishment with War God Storm, going all out!

Hun Yu had used his ultimate magic, but to his surprise, Lei Su didn’t retreat. Instead, he charged forward. Hun Yu was about to block with his right-hand sword when he suddenly felt his mind go blank, and his heart sank—this was Spirit Banishment! By the time he regained his senses, it was already too late to block. Lei Su’s massive sword, accompanied by a storm of blades, came crashing down. There was no time to dodge—die! As Hun Yu’s expression turned fierce, his left hand released the spell.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Countless blades struck Hun Yu, and over a dozen damage numbers exceeding ten thousand floated above his head. He was instantly killed and fell to the ground.

At that moment, the air around Lei Su suddenly emitted piercing explosive sounds. With a bang, it was as if something had exploded right next to him. A damage number of more than seventeen thousand floated above his head. Boom! Boom! Boom! Several explosions followed in succession.

The intense explosions sent Lei Su reeling, his entire body thrown backward, stumbling and falling to the ground.

The power of Vacuum Chain Explosion was also quite impressive!

The surrounding spectators were stunned. They knew the final exchange had happened in the blink of an eye. They only saw Lei Su and Hun Yu clash once, and then both were thrown back almost simultaneously. A draw? Had both of them been killed?

No one had expected such an evenly matched outcome!

Just as the players thought the battle had ended in a tie, Lei Su, lying on the ground, struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and flashed a triumphant smile.
