Chapter 1780

Zeus's movements were equally swift; he suddenly swung his fist and smashed into the flurry of snowflakes!

Boom!

A massive air explosion detonated inside the suite!

Ximen Wudi was blasted backward more than three meters, then landed on the sofa!

Yet, before his toes even touched the sofa, he leapt into the air again!

This man's explosive jumping power was simply monstrous!

This time, he stomped hard on the sofa cushion, then lunged toward Zeus!

Was he aiming for close-quarters combat?

Unfortunately, Ximen Wudi's ferocious-looking assault exerted not the slightest pressure on Zeus!

Zeus drove a knee strike upward, and Ximen Wudi immediately rolled through the air and tumbled away!

Yet, before he even hit the ground, he leapt upward again and kicked out mid-air!

This move looked incredibly flashy, pleasing to the eye!

Zeus likewise raised his knee, blocking Ximen Wudi's attack with perfect precision!

This time, Ximen Wudi's arms ached, his steps staggered, and he barely managed to steady himself.

At this moment, the two stood seven or eight meters apart, locking eyes, both brimming with battle intent.

"I think you know who I am," said Ximen Wudi.

Zeus nodded slightly: "One of the veteran Wang Zuo of the Dark World, you are Lopez's older brother, Ximen Wudi."

"You're right," Ximen Wudi nodded: "I came here because I've already accepted defeat."

This answer truly caught Zeus off guard.

What was Ximen Wudi's status? His biological father was the current clan chief of Atlantis, and he himself was hailed as the man most likely to ascend to the Golden Clan's throne of glory!

If the Dark City were likened to a palace, then Ximen Wudi was its king!

Why would he deliberately challenge Zeus? That utterly contradicted his identity!

Moreover, in Ximen Wudi's view, he had come with absolute confidence of victory!

This god-king had come merely to test him!

"Why say that?" Zeus asked.

"Because my younger brother, Lopez, lost," Ximen Wudi shook his head, then sighed: "He lost utterly—I could never defeat you."

"Oh?" Zeus's gaze sharpened: "Besides me, who else in this world could defeat Lopez?"

"No one," said Ximen Wudi.

He had no need to conceal anything; given Zeus's wisdom and martial mastery, any lie would be easily exposed—such petty tricks were better replaced with honesty.

"If no one can defeat Lopez, then why come here to provoke me?" Zeus asked. "I never heard you and Lopez shared any brotherhood."

"You misunderstand me," Ximen Wudi rubbed his temple as if weary, then said: "You are not my target."

"Then what do you mean?" Zeus paused, then asked: "My girlfriend, Ximen Wudi?"

"Yes," said Ximen Wudi: "He is my good brother."

"Your good brother?" Hearing this, Zeus couldn't help laughing: "Hah! So Lopez, that silent fool, actually has a brother."

"He's just introverted," said Ximen Wudi: "But in truth, he's the top among the younger generation of the Dark World—his potential far exceeds yours and mine."

Zeus sneered: "I admit Lopez is strong, but if I refuse to leave today, you can't stop me."

With that, he swept his right hand across his waist, and a long blade shimmering with dark luster appeared in his grasp!

It seemed this blade was Zeus's weapon.

Zeus held the blade in one hand and stared at Ximen Wudi: "What do you intend?"

"Mr. Zeus, no matter what, I still advise you to come with me to the Dark City," said Ximen Wudi.

"Heh," Zeus sneered: "So eager to get me out of here—are you afraid I'll steal your throne?"

"Zeus, I'm serious," Ximen Wudi shook his head: "Of course, if you insist on resisting, I won't mind fighting you to the death."

Fight to the death?

The phrase made Zeus's eyebrows lift slightly.

He glanced out the window—the night remained clear and bright.

"Let's move elsewhere," said Ximen Wudi: "I doubt you want this hotel destroyed."

"Then let's go outside," said Zeus. "I'm looking forward to it."

Two minutes later, Zeus sat in Ximen Wudi's car, watching the rearview mirror, his eyes gleaming with intensity.

During the journey, Zeus had clearly sensed that a SUV had been locked onto his tail the entire time.

This was a road leading to the beach villa district.

"Are you familiar with this road?" Ximen Wudi asked.

"Yes," Zeus sneered twice: "It's my least favorite road—always clogged, nearly making me choke."

"So…" Ximen Wudi looked at Zeus: "You chose to meet me near that beach villa."

That beach villa belonged to Dark Jesus; he stationed heavy guards there precisely to guard against Zeus's surprise attack—but Zeus never attacked Dark Jesus, he came straight to his door.

"It's easier to lower suspicion," Ximen Wudi's lips curled slightly: "After Apollo vanished, I guessed you'd emerge precisely at this moment."

"Not just you—Dark Jesus likely thought the same," Zeus sneered: "They all assumed I wouldn't interfere, after all… the Sun God Temple is your enemy."

Here, Zeus paused: "In truth, I made my decision long ago—I will protect the Sun God Temple, even if I stand against the entire world!"

I will protect the Sun God Temple!

Zeus's tone was indifferent, yet brimming with an overwhelming air of dominance!

"Such dominance isn't something an ordinary person possesses." Ximen Wudi heard this and took a deep look at him.

"Therefore, I won't change my original intention," Zeus said. "If you want to stop me today, then you'd better make your move quickly."

His voice was calm, but the aura around his body had slowly risen, like flames burning, as if even the surrounding temperature had risen quite a bit!

"I don't wish to do this." Ximen Wudi shook his head. "Because, in both your heart and mine, we were once brothers."

After saying that, he pushed open the car door and stepped out directly!

He was a man so handsome as to be stunning, especially that tall, robust build, paired with such a temperament, enough to enchant countless young women.

However, in Zeus's eyes, this man was like a devil.

"No, you don't deserve to be my brother." Zeus also pulled open the car door and stepped out.

His figure was as agile as a cheetah, and in a few bounds he caught up with Ximen Wudi, throwing a punch to attack!

Zeus had never liked verbal disputes. He knew that since this man dared to come find him, he possessed absolute confidence; if he didn't take some action, it would probably be very dangerous!

Thus, he immediately launched his attack!

Zeus's movements were very concise—a single, simple straight punch shattered the air, smashing violently toward Ximen Wudi!

This was his original move from the dark world, called Dark Wild Dance!

"Long time no see, Zeus." Ximen Wudi said, extending a palm to hard-catch Zeus's fist!

Bang!

The fist wind surged, and the air exploded!

Zeus's figure swayed slightly, then continued his attack!

He was pure physical explosive power; every punch and kick carried tremendous force, and the speed was extremely fast, making it very hard to resist.

But no matter how fast Zeus's attack speed was, it still couldn't match Ximen Wudi's even faster reaction speed.

Every move, every punch of his was dodged by Ximen Wudi.

Zeus had originally wanted to force Ximen Wudi back and then immediately withdraw and leave, but the latter insisted on entangling him in combat, giving Zeus no chance to break away from the battle at all!

Zeus refused to show weakness either; the two went back and forth, brawling for several minutes!

During the fight, Ximen Wudi continuously released his suppressed battle intent, while deep in Zeus's heart surged a thick sense of shock.

"Your strength has really grown very rapidly," Zeus said.

"Likewise," Ximen Wudi replied.
