Chapter 580: All Are Conspiracies

The relentless, storm-like assault suddenly stopped.

After receiving the message and learning about the new task, Mares decisively changed his tactics.

He pretended to be injured, unable to sustain such high-intensity attacks, adopting a posture of switching from offense to defense once again.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior showed a delighted expression.

He believed the opportunity had come.

The powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe seemed considerably weaker than he had anticipated.

At the very least, this powerful being was not as strong as he had thought.

Without any hesitation, he seized this moment to breathe.

His massive form instantaneously transformed into a giant bolt of lightning, striking directly at Mares.

"Damn it! Do you really think you can defeat me? That’s just a foolish dream!"

Mares pretended to be angry and roared loudly.

He waved the tree branches, forming defensive nets to intercept the lightning created by the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior was overjoyed.

In his eyes, whether it was Mares’s roar or his defensive stance, everything indicated that this powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe lacked confidence in defeating him.

Everything was just a facade of calm.

Little did he know, it was all part of Mares’s trap.

With Mares’s strength and speed, avoiding his attack was not particularly difficult.

The reason he chose not to evade the attack but instead directly intercept it with defense was to lure the Ka Yue Tribe warrior into continuously using lightning attacks, stacking up injuries over time.

Only by doing this could he possibly find an opportunity in a short time to deliver a fatal blow to the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.

Of course, he would have to pay a considerable price for this.

With direct resistance against the powerful attacks of the Ka Yue Tribe warrior, and already being injured with his energy shield shattered, his injuries would undoubtedly worsen.

But he couldn’t think of that anymore.

As long as he didn’t lose his life, completing Yi Chen’s task to the best of his ability was his top priority.

Having already decided to please Yi Chen, he would not change that plan over a little injury.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior, transformed into lightning, crashed into the webs of branches forming the defense.

He continuously pierced through the layered defensive nets.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to break through the entire defensive net, his energy nearly depleted.

Seeing the area he penetrated rapidly recovering, it seemed to encircle him.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior immediately fled through the opening he had created.

A hint of disappointment flickered in his heart.

Just a little more, and he would have completely pierced through the opponent’s defensive net.

Once he succeeded in breaking through, with the opponent’s energy shield already shattered, no matter what means the opponent possessed, they would surely receive a heavy blow from him.

Combined with the previous injuries, even if he weren’t heavily injured, it would be close.

"Die!"

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior roared in anger.

Suppressing the backlash and feeling slightly disoriented, he transformed into a giant bolt of lightning once again, launching a fierce attack at Mares.

Mares appeared hurried, reweaving the defensive nets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The enormous lightning crashed out swiftly once more.

As unstoppable as ever, it cut through layers of defense, rapidly assaulting the sheltered Mares.

Unfortunately, with his powerful Perception Ability, the Ka Yue Tribe warrior sensed clearly that if he advanced just one or two more meters, he could penetrate the defensive net. However, his energy was once again depleted, and the power had been consumed completely by the intertwining branches.

Left with no choice, fearing a counterattack from Mares, he could only quickly escape through the gap he had made before the defensive net closed.

Pfft!

Mares, with a half-truthful show of energy, spewed out a burst of green blood.

Ugh…

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior did not fare well either.

Using his powerful trump card with backlash twice in a row caused him significant internal injury.

Yet, he forcefully suppressed the chaotic energy and managed to hold back the blood that was about to spill from his mouth.

"Surrender! Otherwise, the next attack will surely end your life!"

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior attempted to persuade him, straining to appear as if he was in peak condition.

"Surrender? Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a tribal warrior with no territory, reduced to a vassal of the Time Tribe, a mere dog for them! You don’t even have the right to be my dog!"

Mares scoffed coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know the truth about your Ka Yue Tribe. You’ve used lightning attacks twice in a row, and no matter how you pretend, it can’t hide the fact that you’re heavily injured. If you have the guts not to summon your Time Tribe master here, I promise I’ll kill you without a doubt!"

"You seek death!"

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior was furious.

Without hesitation, he transformed into lightning again, charging fiercely toward Mares.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the Ka Yue Tribe warrior expected, this time he charged through the layers of defense, successfully breaking through the defensive net set up by Mares, heading straight for him.

But what he did not anticipate was that after the defensive net was breached, Mares was not without the ability to resist.

A branch transformed into a giant whip, coming to intercept and entangle him.

“Damn it!”

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior cursed angrily, gritting his teeth as he charged toward the giant branches.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the enormous branches shattered, breaking into numerous dry twigs that fell down.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior was also affected, as the force of the impact disrupted his lightning form, causing him to revert to his true self.

Pfft…

Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood almost simultaneously.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior showed no hesitation, enduring his injuries as he ignored the defensive nets that continued to shrink and recover.

He had made up his mind; this time, he would defeat Mares with a single blow, even at the cost of being heavily injured.

He quickly took out a black Fairy Fruit from the Space Stone, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

A chilling aura rushed down his throat and spread rapidly throughout his body, completely freezing the agitated energy.

In the next second, he transformed into lightning once again.

“This time, let’s see what you use to defend!”

The massive lightning bolt shot straight toward Mares.

“I truly can’t defend anymore…”

A slight smile flickered at the corner of Mares’ mouth.

Just as the lightning was about to strike, he suddenly dodged to the side.

He narrowly avoided the lightning attack.

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior, transformed into lightning, froze in shock.

This speed…

Even after his third attempt, his inner energy had become chaotic, so the fourth time transforming into lightning would surely be affected.

Yet under his three fierce assaults, the opponent had also sustained greater injuries, and their speed must be impacted as well.

At a distance, he couldn’t guarantee that the opponent would dodge his attack and had to forcefully defend.

At close range, avoidance seemed impossible.

Unless…

“The cunning Tree-Dwelling Tribe, you deliberately lured me into continuous attacks!”

The Ka Yue Tribe warrior finally came to a complete realization.

This was clearly a trap and conspiracy set by his opponent, forcing him to transform into lightning until he became heavily injured.

Thus, they would have the chance to kill him before the Time Tribe warrior arrived.

“It’s too late to understand now!”

Mares quickly contracted the defensive nets formed by the branches and sent out a multitude of branches to attack the Ka Yue Tribe warrior.
