Chapter 408 The Desperate Ares
Suddenly plunged into darkness, causing a gasp of surprise throughout the hall.
“What’s going on!? What happened!?” a guest shouted in panic.
Many women screamed repeatedly.
The situation in the entire hall was quite chaotic.
Under normal circumstances, a power outage wouldn’t cause such panic among these people.
But this time was different. Due to the conflict between Ares and Fangyu, the atmosphere in the hall had dropped to freezing point.
And in the last moment before the power outage, the image of Fangyu kicking Ares flying made everyone’s hearts race.
In the confusion, many guests took out their phones and turned on their flashlight function.
Soon, beams of light appeared throughout the hall.
“Everyone, please don’t panic. We’ve sent staff to check the cause of the power outage. We should have results soon. In the meantime, please remain calm. We apologize for the inconvenience,” the restaurant manager announced loudly.
With these words, the atmosphere calmed down considerably.
“Bang!”
But a second later, another loud noise erupted in the hall!
In the chaotic light, the guests only saw a figure flying across the front of the room, crashing heavily to the ground.
The hall, which had just quieted down, became agitated again as everyone directed their phone lights toward the front.
Under the illumination of various light beams, a figure rose from the ground.
When they clearly saw this person’s face, the hall erupted in commotion!
Ares!
At this moment, Ares no longer had the elegant, noble appearance from before!
His clothes were disheveled and tattered, his face contorted, with silvery-white liquid flowing from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth, looking particularly eerie under the light.
His amber-colored eyes emitted a transparent glow in the darkness, staring directly at Fangyu not far ahead.
Ares gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling.
As the crown prince of the Nord royal family, named Ares by his father, he had shown extraordinary talent since childhood.
It could be said that throughout his growth, he had been smooth sailing in every aspect, never experiencing setbacks.
But tonight, Fangyu’s two kicks had given him a taste of hardship!
Looking at Fangyu, the pride and anger in Ares’s chest completely erupted.
His name was Ares, the god of war and violence! He absolutely would not allow himself to be defeated by another, especially by a young man from the State of Jiuzhou!
Ares let out a roar from his throat, a white light emanating from his body.
He clenched his fists, his muscles tensed, and his fitted suit immediately stretched, bursting in many places!
“I’m going to kill you!”
Ares stomped the ground fiercely, his figure like lightning, rushing rapidly toward Fangyu.
Fangyu’s eyes were like clear springs, calm and composed.
Ares’s strength was not weak. Compared to the realm divisions in Jiuzhou’s martial arts world, his strength was roughly at the peak of Wuzun.
But unfortunately, Ares’s fighting technique truly lacked method, all in a straightforward style.
This fighting style could easily defeat opponents whose pure strength was weaker than his.
But if the opponent’s raw power was similar to his, and they possessed certain fighting techniques, Ares’s disadvantage would become quite obvious.
This might be the biggest weakness of Europeans compared to people from Jiuzhou.
They had a poor understanding of martial arts and lacked inheritance.
In an instant, Ares had rushed to Fangyu’s front, throwing a punch toward Fangyu’s chest.
His fist emanated holy power, the force of this punch probably enough to smash through half a meter of steel plate!
“Ah…”
Ares roared, killing intent evident!
With this punch, he wanted Fangyu’s life!
Fangyu stepped back half a step with his left foot, raised his left hand with palm slightly closed, and grabbed Ares’s iron fist.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound, and the ground where the two stood shattered. Nearby tables and chairs were all sent flying.
But Fangyu didn’t retreat half a step.
Ares’s teeth ground audibly as he used all his strength, causing his entire right arm to shake, yet he couldn’t advance even a bit further!
His power was completely suppressed!
Ares’s eyes widened as he stared at the relaxed Fangyu before him, filled with disbelief.
Back in Europe, he had never encountered anyone who could match his strength! Not even close!
Yet the slender Fangyu used just one left hand to withstand his full-force punch, and seemed completely effortless!
How… was this possible?
Ares was greatly shocked.
At this moment, Fangyu turned his head to look in another direction.
It seemed that Violet had already taken action.
“I originally wanted to play with you a bit longer, but you really don’t interest me. Goodbye.” As Fangyu spoke, his left hand gripping Ares’s fist squeezed hard.
“Crack…”
The sound of bones breaking was particularly loud in the surrounding quiet environment.
“Ah…”
Ares howled in pain, dropping to one knee.
“Holy power… might as well absorb it.”
Fangyu released his left hand and switched to pressing his right hand on top of Ares’s head.
Soul Devouring Technique!
A red vortex of light appeared from Fangyu’s right hand.
Ares felt a tremendous suction force drawing the energy from his body!
“Ah!”
Ares roared, struggling with all his might to remove the hand on his head.
But a tremendous force pressed down on him, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
“Help me!”
Ares had no other option but to try shouting for help.
But the surrounding guests were already frightened into a daze. Who would still care about Ares?
Feeling the rapid loss of power within his body, Ares’s face turned pale, his roars becoming increasingly faint, his eyes filled with despair.
Meanwhile, Fangyu’s eyes glowed.
The energy in Ares’s body was indeed holy power.
Although it was inferior to the Dragon God’s source, after transformation by the Soul Devouring Technique, it could still be absorbed by Fangyu as pure spiritual energy.
Breakthrough!
During this process, Fangyu successfully broke through one level, reaching the 9,981st layer of the Qi Condensation stage!
“Fangyu, I am a prince of the Nord royal family. You will definitely regret what you’ve done today. I guarantee, I will make you regret it…” Ares felt utterly desperate, his speech losing all momentum, like a chant.
After about ten seconds, Fangyu completely absorbed all the energy from Ares’s body.
Ares’s face was as white as paper. He could feel that the power within him that made him strong, that he had been so proud of, had completely disappeared.
“Fangyu, you will definitely pay the price…” Ares was filled with grief and anger.
“Bang!”
Before Ares could finish speaking, Fangyu kicked him in the face, sending him flying.
Without holy power, this kick was unbearable for Ares, who passed out before hitting the ground.
“You could have provoked anyone else, but you chose me. Nothing I can do about that.” Fangyu said calmly, then turned to look in another direction, his lips curving into a slight smile.
The effect of absorbing holy power with the Soul Devouring Technique was stronger than he had imagined.
Since that was the case, Apollo couldn’t be spared either. He would absorb him as well.
Fangyu’s figure moved and disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, the hall illuminated by dozens of phone lights fell into dead silence.
Everyone’s expressions were frozen as they looked at Ares lying on the ground, unconscious.
Too miserable.
It was truly too miserable.
Just two minutes ago, Ares had brought endless pressure, making many people admire him and want to curry favor with the Nord royal family.
But now, Ares lay there, half-paralyzed, no longer possessing that imposing momentum and cold, proud princely demeanor.
In the crowd, Qin Lang shook his head and sighed lightly.
He had already tried to dissuade Ares, but unfortunately, Ares hadn’t taken it to heart.
This outcome was self-inflicted.
On the other side, Luo Xi and her great-uncle Luo Zhenghua also stood frozen.
Especially Luo Zhenghua, who was now breathing heavily, unable to speak.
He never imagined that the imposing Ares would be beaten into such a miserable state!
After about ten seconds, the lights in the hall suddenly came back on.
Looking at the mess before them, the guests seemed to wake from a dream, exchanging glances, their eyes filled only with shock.
By now, Fangyu had already rushed out through the back door of the hall.
The three with Violet were just ahead, retreating at a frantic speed.
And Apollo was in Clark’s hands, already unconscious.
Fangyu raised his palm, concentrating true qi in his palm, and launched it forward!
“Boom!”
The three with Violet felt a suffocating force coming toward them. Their faces changed dramatically, but they had no time to dodge.
