Chapter 691: Ying Zheng vs. High-Martial Liu Bei

"What the hell is this!"

Zhao Xin looked at the electric lock beneath his feet; for a moment, he was actually unable to break free.

Star-Lord's Energy Gun fired two Laser beams at Zhao Xin, sparks flying as he was violently knocked away.

The shots from this Energy Gun were not products of technology, nor were they ordinary Laser beams.

It could generate different energies according to various situations.

For example, flame lasers, ice lasers, or even heat rays; the source of its energy was because the muzzle seemed capable of connecting to other dimensions to absorb energies of different attributes, making it a kind of divine artifact in a certain sense.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, taking two shots from Star-Lord meant one would basically be down, losing all combat effectiveness.

But Zhao Xin was a Super Soldier; although he did not have a God Body, he possessed a Steel Body, and he was resistant to ordinary thermal weapons and cold weapons—he was tough Flesh.

Although Star-Lord's Energy Gun was powerful, it only made him feel pain.

"Hiss!"

Zhao Xin stood up from the ground, touched his chest, and said:

"This thing is quite powerful; luckily, it's not the God-Slaying Spear."

"However, I'm going to get serious now."

After speaking, Zhao Xin summoned his long spear and attacked with the speed of Thunder.

One could only see streaks of light flickering on the Arena, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Star-Lord was rich in combat experience, but he had not yet awakened his divine power and could not keep up with Zhao Xin's speed; he immediately revealed a flaw and was knocked into mid-air by Zhao Xin!

One strike!

Two strikes!

Three strikes!

In the blink of an eye, Star-Lord's body was hit repeatedly by Zhao Xin's long spear into mid-air, without the slightest power to resist.

Zhao Xin still held back a bit; if it were an alien like the Taotie, he would have long since unleashed his spear like a Dragon, shattering the opponent in one blow.

But now, although Star-Lord had been hit by over a dozen strikes, he was not dead; it had only caused him to lose his combat effectiveness.

Boom!

After stabbing a total of forty-nine times, Zhao Xin retracted his spear and landed steadily on the ground.

Star-Lord fell to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body had been shattered, in immense pain.

He hadn't expected this seemingly immature young man to be so powerful, possessing lightning-fast speed and rapid spear techniques; he was simply the bane of all marksmen or support units.

Have I lost!

For a moment, Star-Lord recalled his past, feeling some unwillingness in his heart; he was a Ravager, the most famous pirate in the universe, always victorious.

"Stand up, son!"

"This is your limit as a human, but not your limit as a god."

Suddenly, a mysterious and unfamiliar voice emerged in Star-Lord's mind.

This voice felt intimate, connected by blood, yet it seemed to come from the end of time and space, from an unknown source.

In a trance, Star-Lord found himself standing in the universe, where he saw a massive, primitive planet.

What was weird was that this planet also had an exceptionally large human face on it, looking ancient and mysterious.

"Could this be my biological father, the Celestial Ego?"

Star-Lord had read the Script of fate and already knew his own background, as well as the fact that he possessed the Celestial Gene within him; of course, although Ego was his father, he had also caused his mother's death, which was unforgivable.

"No, it's impossible for Ego to find me right now, let alone that this isn't even my own universe."

"So, this is a memory in my genes? Could it be that I have awakened my power as a Celestial ahead of time?"

Although Star-Lord looked like a fool, he was actually meticulous and insightful.

Thinking this way, he roughly understood the cause and effect.

However, the only problem was that in the Script, he was awakened by Ego, but now he was awakening on his own.

"Although I'm using the power of that bastard dad to awaken my Celestial Absorption, I'll still have to kill him when I meet him in the future."

For Star-Lord, the crime of causing his mother's death was unforgivable.

Outside, Star-Lord lay motionless, but his body surface was emitting faint rays of light; the Light Gene of the Celestial was flickering, constantly repairing Star-Lord's body and enhancing his physique.

"??" Zhao Xin looked on, completely bewildered.

In the spectator stands, everyone also noticed Star-Lord's abnormality.

"Why is he glowing?" Morgana said.

Xu Que said with a straight face: "According to my observations, there's an eighty percent chance he's about to use a cheat."

"Agreed." Ye Fan nodded.

"Xuan Ge, what do you think?"

Ye Fan looked at Xuanzang again, hoping to get some useful information from him.

"I'm sitting and watching," Xuanzang said casually.

"Alright then." Ye Fan shrugged.

"The Great Thousand World is truly marvelous," the Old Celestial Master sighed.

The opponent's power and system were completely different from his own path.

To be honest, if he were to face this Zhao Xin, he wouldn't have much chance of winning.

One reason was the freakish defensive power of a Super Soldier, and the second was his speed that defied common sense.

"Old Celestial Master, you'll get used to it. Back then, I was much like you; just keep your original intention," Zhang Sanfeng said.

"The True Person is absolutely right," the Old Celestial Master accepted humbly.

Tony speculated: "According to my observations, there's an eighty percent chance Star-Lord is about to awaken the power of his old man, Ego. Ego is also considered a member of the God Race, and as his descendant, Star-Lord has perfectly inherited the Celestial Gene."

"Celestial Race."

Mentioning the Celestial Race, a cold look appeared on Thanos's face.

In a sense, Titans are also a branch of the Celestial Race, yet they were abandoned by the Celestial Race to fend for themselves.

This group, who pride themselves on being gods, are high and mighty and do not care about the life or death of Titan, even viewing Titans as slaves.

This is also one of the reasons why Thanos wants to obtain the Infinity Stone to wipe out half of all life.

However, things are different now; if there is a chance to obtain the Infinity Stone, he must press the Celestial Race into the ground and rub them in, letting this group of gods fall into the mortal dust.

While everyone was discussing, Star-Lord had also finished awakening.

His body floated up automatically, his whole body radiating white light, his eyes filled with light, and the whole person looked a bit more divine!

Powerful, omnipotent!

This was how Star-Lord felt at this moment; the Celestial Gene recorded the usage of divine power.

Star-Lord stretched out his arm, and a light sphere full of destructive power was born, but it immediately shattered; clearly, he had not found the balance point, and his first use of divine power failed.

Zhao Xin felt a huge threat from Star-Lord at this moment and said:

"Although I don't know what happened to you, guy, I can't go easy on you anymore. This time, I will definitely finish you off completely."

Whoosh!

Zhao Xin transformed into lightning and went straight for Star-Lord's head; his speed broke the sound barrier, and explosive sonic booms were released in the air, as if it could shatter at any moment.

If Star-Lord could not block it, then Zhao Xin would naturally be the winner of this round.

However, at the critical moment, Star-Lord stretched out his arm again, and the Celestial Gene controlled molecules to condense a formless wall to block Zhao Xin.

The powerful recoil force knocked Zhao Xin flying, and Star-Lord's Celestial Gene transformed into a sky full of Thunder, blasting toward Zhao Xin all at once!

Caught off guard, Zhao Xin was struck by this terrifying power and fell onto the Arena.

Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured and didn't have much combat power left.

Star-Lord, acting on the principle of "strike while the iron is hot," chose to follow up with an attack to avenge the previous sneak attack on his rear.

But Zhao Xin was more straightforward; not knowing where he took out a small white flag, he hurriedly said: "I surrender, I surrender!"

"?" Star-Lord.

"In this duel, the Father-Troubler Star-Lord wins."

The Chat Group's voice sounded, and Zhao Xin stumbled to his feet, cursing:

"Little brother, did you use a cheat? One second you were a weakling, the next you became a tough guy?"

"Is this reasonable?"

As he spoke, Zhao Xin's figure faded until he finally disappeared.

Star-Lord stood there, stunned, and scratched his head. Using a cheat? How could he possibly use a cheat? This was winning by strength, okay.

Afterward, he also returned to the spectator seats.

Tony hurriedly asked: "Yo, Lord Star! How did you suddenly awaken your father's Celestial Gene?"

Hearing this, Star-Lord said unhappily: "What Lord Star, you make it sound like I'm very old.

I won by my own strength; it has nothing to do with that bastard father of mine."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Tony smiled without saying a word.

"It's just cheating," Morgana complained.

"What cheating? Only the weak cheat. I am not." Star-Lord said, making it clear that he won by his own strength.

"Six six six." Xu Que gave a thumbs up.

"Next, is there anyone else who wants to try the Virtual Arena?" Yan Shuangying's voice came.

The group members' gazes looked at Da Gu and Shiranui Mai together.

Shiranui Mai said directly: "Seeing everyone so powerful, I feel I still need to cultivate."

"Don't look at me, seniors. I am just an ordinary person," Da Gu said.

Although he also wanted to show off, he was currently not the Giant of Light, and he didn't even have the Spark Lens in his hand.

"Don't just have new members duel; as old members, we should also come out and try," Morgana said.

"Queen, please." Ye Fan made a gesture of invitation.

"I'm not coming; you Ye Laoliu come," Morgana waved her hand.

She was mainly afraid of being matched with a hell-level opponent and being beaten to a pulp.

"I'm not coming; I'm not good at martial arts," Ye Fan shook his head.

"Ye Fan, you weren't this humble when you tore a Saint apart with your bare hands," Xuanzang laughed.

Ye Fan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Xuan Ge, don't make fun of me. This matching mechanism is random; if it gives me a terrifying opponent, me being killed is a small matter, but if my Dao heart is shattered, that's a big problem."

"Dao heart? Do you have a Dao heart, Ye Laoliu?" Xu Que teased.

"Tch." Ye Fan raised his head proudly, indicating disdain for arguing.

"I'll come."

Ying Zheng stepped forward, wanting to challenge a match.

"Zheng Ge is awesome!" Xu Que praised.

"Ye Laoliu, look at the First Emperor, how valiant," Morgana said.

"Nonsense, my Zheng Ge is naturally valiant," Ye Fan said.

Afterward, Ying Zheng appeared on the Virtual Arena and looked around the Arena.

The perception on the spectator seats and on the Arena was completely different.

On the Arena, the surroundings were a sea of stars, with countless planets; compared to them, how insignificant humans are.

It was also at this moment that Ying Zheng became more determined in his idea of conquering the sea of stars, jumping out of the native land, traversing the starry sky, and letting the flag of Great Qin stand in every corner of the starry sky; this was what made one's heart yearn for it.

"Shall we initiate the Heavens matchmaking!"

The voice of the Chat Group Virtual Arena rang in his ears.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Initiating matchmaking, matching now... Match successful."

"Matched opponent, High Martial Three Kingdoms · Liu Bei!"

As the words fell, a middle-aged man wearing dark armor, holding dual swords, with a square face and large ears, slowly walked out from the Reincarnation Channel.

"Liu Bei!"

Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly; he was now well-versed in five thousand years of history and was no stranger to Liu Bei.

This was not the Liu Bei of the Eastern Han period, the Emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms, nor was he the Imperial Uncle Liu.

However, this Liu Bei's combat power did not look weak; he did not resemble the crybaby from the Three Kingdoms.

In the spectator stands.

"Damn, Diliu, has this Three Kingdoms become high martial as well?" Ye Fan said in disbelief.

"I don't know; when I was there, the internet didn't have this yet," Xu Que said.

"To think it is Imperial Uncle Liu from the Three Kingdoms; this man is a person of benevolence and righteousness," Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Indeed." The Old Celestial Master nodded.

As modern people, they were also aware of the existence of the Three Kingdoms.

And the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was basically a household name, much like Journey to the West.

"I see this Liu Bei has his spirit restrained and his aura is plain and unadorned, but the Sword Qi of the sword in his hand reveals something extraordinary; it seems his attainments in swordsmanship are very high," Li Chungang said.

"Group Owner, which world does this Three Kingdoms come from?" Morgana asked.

Yan Shuangying had already retrieved the information on High Martial Three Kingdoms, and after reading it, she was somewhat surprised and said:

"A certain nonsensical comedy Three Kingdoms plane. Because it is nonsensical, the combat power is hard to evaluate, as in many situations, accidents are constant."

"Nonsensical?" Wang Wu thought about it seriously, but could not imagine any scene.

"Damn, it's actually nonsensical; there's going to be a good show to watch this time," Xu Que said.

"Why?" Morgana said.

"So what if it's nonsensical?" Ye Fan said.

"Nonsensical, in a sense, is also disregarding rules. We have a saying in later generations: never compare combat power with comedy shows. A comedy character might destroy the universe if they say they will, and travel through time if they say they will.

I remember a manga from Little Sakura in later generations where a girl who liked to play with poop split a planet in half with one punch, disregarding the rules of Karma," Xu Que said.

"Damn!" Ye Fan was confused but felt it was powerful.

On the Arena, Liu Bei walked over slowly and bowed, saying:

"I am Liu Bei; who is your Excellency?"

"Ying Zheng," Ying Zheng replied.

"Ying Zheng? Could it be the First Emperor?" Liu Bei's face showed a trace of surprise.

"Correct." Ying Zheng nodded.

Liu Bei's face was full of humility as he said:

"So it is the First Emperor. It is truly my great honor to be able to duel with the First Emperor. Please."

"Please," Ying Zheng signaled as well.

It seemed this was somewhat different from the Liu Bei in his history; he was quite polite.

"Junior offends you."

"First Emperor, I have studied swordsmanship since I was young, especially skilled with dual swords. My Love Sword Technique has traversed the Three Kingdoms, with no rivals in the world!"

"Love Sword, rise..."

Liu Bei's dual sword Sword Qi surged, and a burst of intense white steam erupted from the surface of his body; this steam even condensed into the shape of flame clouds!

"This kind of aura is even stronger than Gai Nie."

Ying Zheng was slightly startled. Through the Insight Eye, he could see Liu Bei's data soaring continuously, reaching an inconceivable level, surpassing the Martial Peak of his world.

If he hadn't fused with the latest type of Gene Serum from Morgana's hands and transformed his body into a God Body, he probably wouldn't be an opponent at all.

As he continued to explode with energy, Liu Bei's body actually floated up slowly, flying higher and higher, his Sword Qi becoming increasingly sharp.

"I was careless. With this aura, I fear even an ordinary Land Immortal would have to kneel!" Li Chungang sighed.

"Is this still the Imperial Uncle Liu I know?" Ye Fan patted his head.

"Awesome!" Xu Que shouted '666'.

As the aura continued to climb and reached a peak, Liu Bei's dual Love Swords stabbed down like a comet!

Ying Zheng's consciousness stirred, controlling the Magnetic Field Force to continuously rub and generate static electricity; a bolt of Thunder transformed into an Electromagnetic Cannon and violently pierced through the Void.

Boom!

The two powerful forces collided, stirring up ripples. Liu Bei's Love Sword was blasted away by the Electromagnetic Cannon, and a large crater was smashed into the ground.

Yet Ying Zheng did not retreat a single step. Although Liu Bei's strength was very strong, he had after all been transformed into a God Body, standing in an Innate invincible position!

Liu Bei stood up from the ground and dusted off his body; he did not seem to have suffered any injuries.

"As expected of the First Emperor!"

"Junior admires you!"

"Since that is the case, Xuande offends you!"

Only hearing Liu Bei shout loudly, he said:

"Second Gear, activate!"

"Third Gear, activate!"

The white steam originally swirling around his body turned straight to red, Liu Bei's aura broke through by another large margin, and the surrounding earth crumbled.

In the spectator stands, everyone wore expressions of onlookers eating melons.

"Damn, is this serious high-level martial arts?" Ye Fan said.

"I told you, it's slapstick comedy. I wouldn't be surprised by anything that happens," Xu Que said.

"Holy crap, what did this Liu Bei take out?"

It turned out that after Liu Bei exploded with Qi again, his dual swords merged, and following a flash of light, they were replaced by a Golden Blue Fire Gatling.

Liu Bei took a cigar from the air and clamped it in his mouth, put on sunglasses, and said:

"Love Sword Technique's Love Shot!"

As the words fell, the Gatling erupted with flames like a thunderstorm, bombarding the sky.

"I'm impressed," Ye Fan sighed in wonder.

"Uh..." Morgana.

"Interesting," Wang Wu said, covering her face.

"This is too insane," Zhizunbao said.

"Can you even play like this?" Tony was also shocked for a hundred years.

"Damn, this is what you call cheating," Star-Lord said.

"However, although it's powerful, Ying Zheng, who possesses the latest technology Absorption of our Angel Civilization, won't lose so easily," Morgana said.

Ying Zheng's thoughts stirred, his Gene Computer operated rapidly, and in that Void, tiny Wormholes opened one after another, Devouring all of Liu Bei's firepower and returning it back to Liu Bei.

"??"

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei's face was full of question marks, his entire expression was one of collapse, the cigar in his mouth fell, and he bared his teeth.

Subsequently, he was submerged by the sky-filling artillery fire.

But when the smoke and dust dispersed, Liu Bei still had signs of life, though he was very disheveled, and the Qi on his body was flickering in and out; clearly, he had suffered no small injury.

Liu Bei had a stubborn look on his face, but he still stiffened his neck and said:

"I admit the First Emperor's strength is formidable!"

"But my second brother is invincible under heaven!"

As the words fell, a game board appeared on Liu Bei's wrist, and he drew a card from it, saying:

"My turn, I draw a five-star Five Tiger Generals God Card."

"In the name of the Emperor of Shu Han, I perform a special summon!"

"Revive, my second brother!"

"Summon, Enemy Heavenly General, Guan Yu!"

In the Void, a loud and crisp sound of horse hooves rang out, and a red-faced man riding a Red Hare, wearing a long green hat, was seen breaking through the air.

Particularly noteworthy was that the red-faced Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade was actually fifty meters long, dragging through mid-air, his aura like a rainbow.

Guan Yu held the great blade, rode the fiery horse, looked at no one, and said arrogantly:

"Liu Da'er, you summoned me, for what matter?"

Been on an IV drip for two days, no strength in my whole body, sigh.
