Chapter 219 Deceiving Authority
At this moment.
On the colossal stone tablet of the man-made city.
Only nine names remain.
A line of text appeared, shimmering with light.
[Tyrant Shirakawa Gen's opponent has been identified]
A message popped up in front of Jiang Yuan.
Tetsuya Yamashita on the other side was the same.
[Ding! Your next opponent is the master of deception, Tetsuya Yamashita]
[Ding! Your next opponent is the tyrant Shirakawa Gen.]
It was as if the crown stone was deliberately causing trouble.
The villain and the protagonist of the story meet at this moment, and just at this moment, the book turns to the last page.
I just don't know if it's the book for the villain or the book for the protagonist...
"Perfect!"
Tetsuya Yamashita's eyes gleamed, a strange confidence emanating from him as if he had received the protagonist's script, as he stared intently at Jiang Yuan and said:
"Today is your death day. I will definitely kill you to avenge my uncle. Prepare yourself, Shirakawa!"
Jiang Yuan was stunned upon hearing this, looking completely bewildered.
Huh?
What are you saying?
"boom!!"
Tetsuya Yamashita's eyes flashed, and he launched a swift attack.
[Golden Crow Demon-Slaying Strike!]
"Whoosh!!"
The scorching blood and qi transformed into a red lotus fist imprint that roared towards Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan didn't even look at it before raising his hand and smashing it.
"Snapped!"
But the attack shattered as if it were a mirage.
"Bang!"
The protective aura behind Jiang Yuan was hit by the attack.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But I immediately understood what was going on.
"Interesting, did you deceive my eyes?"
"good."
Tetsuya Yamashita said with a smug and arrogant expression, "Before my 'Deceitful God' skill, everything you see is nothing but a mirage."
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. If they couldn't even achieve this level, then they weren't the kind of force that could pique his interest...
Tetsuya Yamashita said coldly, "I'll ask you one last question."
"What did you do to Jingu-kun?"
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly.
"A dead person doesn't seem to have the right to question me, does he?"
Tetsuya Yamashita sneered, "Arrogant! Don't think I'm still the same person I was before. I gave you a chance!"
"red lotus!"
Tetsuya Yamashita reached out and grabbed, his entire arm and shoulder were covered in crimson armor.
Epic-level equipment - Azure Star Crimson Lotus!
In his other hand appeared a perfectly intact golden greatsword.
Epic-level equipment - Sword of the War God!
Wearing two epic-level pieces of equipment and possessing two S-level talents, Tetsuya Yamashita was brimming with confidence.
Jiang Yuan tilted his head, as if to say:
That's it?
Who gave you the courage?
"Go to hell, Shirakawa!!"
Tetsuya Yamashita roared, his eyes shooting out divine light, and his body was enveloped by an invisible force.
He used the [Deceitful God] skill to briefly distort reality and deceive himself, allowing him to reach the rank of a seventh-tier martial artist! He now possessed the basic stats of a high-level martial artist!
"Boom!!" A powerful aura burst forth from Tetsuya Yamashita, his black hair fluttering, his ordinary face brimming with confidence.
"See that?! This is my current strength!"
"Enough to win the Grand Prix!"
"Comparable to a grandmaster!"
Jiang Yuan calmly said, "Grandmaster... is he that strong? It's not like I haven't killed him before."
"Don't compare me to those ordinary martial artists." Tetsuya Yamashita sneered, his right arm, clad in the Azure Star Crimson Lotus, clenching in mid-air.
"Domain Expansion!!"
A streak of azure light flashed in the sky, instantly enveloping the entire block. "Sword of the God of War, slay all evil!"
"Evil cannot defeat me, who shines with the glory of victory!"
"To strike a thousand enemies with a hundred, and to annihilate ten thousand enemies with a thousand!"
The black-haired youth chanted incantations, and the God of War's sword in his hand instantly shone with an incomparably dazzling light.
"Those who disobey...will all perish before my sword!"
After the momentum reaches its peak.
Yamashita Tetsuya roared and swung the God of War sword in his hand.
"boom!!"
With a single sword strike, a beam of blazing golden energy slashed straight toward Jiang Yuan.
Absolutely guaranteed hit, impossible to dodge!!
We won...
Tetsuya Yamashita, who unleashed this strongest sword strike, thought to himself.
In terms of power, this attack was comparable to the full-force attack of an eighth-tier martial artist.
The absolute hit effect, combined with the buff effect of the God of War's Sword that annihilates life.
Even the tyrant Shirakawa Gen, who wields darkness before us, is absolutely powerless to resist him!!
"Die..."
Tetsuya Yamashita's eyes were filled with intense excitement, as if he could already see Jiang Yuan being completely annihilated by this attack.
But at that moment...
Faced with a massive slash that was so powerful it seemed capable of cleaving the entire street in two.
Jiang Yuan raised his head, his handsome face calm, with even a hint of mockery and pity at the corner of his mouth.
"You think this is all you've got to kill me?"
Tetsuya Yamashita was startled.
next moment.
The silver-haired boy casually raised his hand and waved.
The space trembled, and the energy beam, comparable to the full-force attack of an eighth-tier martial artist, shattered like a fragile icicle with a snap.
This attack wasn't even a martial skill; it was just a casual swing aided by the equipment.
Absolute numerical superiority!
"!!"
Tetsuya Yamashita's pupils contracted, and he was completely stunned.
He gripped the once-dimmed War God Sword in his hand, staring blankly at the golden energy fragments falling like rain from shattered glass, unable to believe what he was seeing.
This……
How is that possible...?
How could my strongest attack...?
How could he be so powerful?!
"Pfft!"
The sharp tip of the katana Aogiri protruded from Tetsuya Yamashita's back.
Tetsuya Yamashita lowered his head blankly, staring at the blade that had pierced his heart, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and murmured:
"How is that possible..."
Jiang Yuan appeared before him without him noticing, gripping the hilt of the katana Aogiri, his deep, fiery golden eyes gazing down at him with indifference and calm.
"What's so surprising about that?"
"Don't tell me your power was obtained temporarily by deceiving yourself. So what if you are a true seventh-tier grandmaster?"
"I've killed even quasi-kings and true kings, let alone a mere seventh-rank."
"impossible……!"
Tetsuya Yamashita found it hard to accept all of this, as if he had been on a roller coaster, falling from heaven to hell in an instant.
"That's impossible!"
"The gap between us can't be that big!!"
He lost control, roaring wildly, unable to accept that despite his hard work and growing stronger, he was still as weak as an ant in front of him!
Looking at his hysterical expression.
Jiang Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of mockery and ridicule.
"You think you can challenge me just because you have two epic-level pieces of equipment and your legendary class? Yamashita-kun, you're so naive. You don't even know who your opponent is. You're really... stupid."
"Do you know why I didn't kill you before? It was for this moment."
"I'll wait until you participate in the Grand Tournament, climb to the top, and then kill you, turning your talent into nourishment for me."
Jiang Yuan's calm words were like terrifying murmurs from the depths of an abyss, constantly impacting Yamashita Tetsuya's mental world and bringing his inner world to the brink of collapse.
"This can't be happening! I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." Tetsuya Yamashita's eyes glazed over, lost in a state of confusion.
"You... are too weak."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he decided to completely eliminate him.
Just now.
A gentle voice rang out.
"Calm down, Tetsuya."
A spirit burst forth from his body, transforming into a beautiful woman.
Tetsuya Yamashita stammered in confusion, "Sis? Sister? You...you weren't dead?"
The woman's spirit was about to say something.
"boring."
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying Yang God erupted. His spiritual power transformed into a giant hand of blazing sun, which grabbed the female spirit body, which was comparable to a ninth-level martial artist, and crushed it instantly in front of Yamashita Tetsuya.
He watched as his sister's soul completely vanished before his eyes.
Tetsuya Yamashita's pupils contracted to a tiny dot as memories flooded his mind. The fact that the most important person to him had died twice was a blow that directly caused Yamashita's will to collapse.
His soul seemed to plunge into endless darkness, despair and coldness filling every inch of his skin.
"Despair is the true color that suits you."
Jiang Yuan spoke slowly, reached out and pinched his head, unleashing the upgraded [Dark Plunder].
"Whoosh!"
The enormous, ethereal black claw pierced into Tetsuya Yamashita's body, pulling out a large ball of light that shimmered with various colors.
[Ding! You have successfully plundered the target, gaining 10 years of their lifespan, 5 points of luck, and the power to deceive (broken)]
"Oh?"
Jiang Yuan became interested.
Click to view.
【Deceitful Authority (Fragment)】: Legend has it that the primal power of a professional deceiver of the gods is capable of deceiving all things. A complete Deceitful Authority can even deceive time and fate.
"Interesting, it's actually the original power of the Deceitful Gods profession." Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened slightly.
Deceiving oneself, deceiving the world, deceiving time, deceiving fate... If this power is used well, its might is simply unimaginable!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a bug-level ability similar to infinite amplification.
Jiang Yuan glanced with emotion at the dying Yamashita Tetsuya in his hand.
It was definitely the right decision not to kill him rashly earlier...
Otherwise, he would miss out on this power.
"But now, you're useless..."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, the blood sacrifice glove on his left hand glowed with a bloody light, completely obliterating Yamashita Tetsuya through blood sacrifice.
