Chapter 538: Chapter 537: Eye of the Lightning God
What the hell was that disappearance?
Big Cat didn\'t dare to neglect, raising the heavy sword in his hand, as Lion Tiger Golden Gang burst forth. A dazzling incandescent light bloomed from his body, and the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted as he fiercely slashed with his heavy sword.
With a "clang" that resonated, Big Cat\'s body erupted with Lion Tiger Golden Gang. The spear that had disappeared earlier had been deflected back, but Big Cat himself felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body paralyzed. Electric currents ran through his body.
At that moment, Gu Lan from the Glaucous Stone Race in the distance pressed a silver gemstone on his helmet. The next instant, he had already teleported near Big Cat, catching the falling long spear from the air and charging forward with the speed of lightning towards Big Cat.
Big Cat was in a state of paralysis, but the powerful characteristics of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang enabled him to recover quickly. Just as the enemy\'s spear reached his chest, a strong light burst forth from his eyes, and he parried upwards with the heavy sword. Lion Tiger Golden Gang erupted.
"Boom—" Both parties retreated simultaneously. Big Cat fell into paralysis once again, but his opponent didn\'t have it easy either, shaken back over ten meters by the strong repulsive force of Lion Tiger Golden Gang, his arms numb.
This strike was not just Big Cat\'s own power, but also included the power devoured from the previous collision. Coupled with the repulsion effect of Lion Tiger Golden Gang, the explosive power was fierce.
But Gu Lan recovered much quicker than Big Cat. His armor dissolved most of the impact, and the Lightning Long Spear in his hand was thrown again, flying straight toward Big Cat\'s chest.
The paralyzing lightning ability attached to the Lightning Long Spear was extremely strong; not even the powerful Lion Tiger Golden Gang could defend against it previously, and this time was naturally no different. Furthermore, the Lightning Long Spear would vanish on release, turning into a flash of electricity, instantly striking its target.
Big Cat raised his heavy sword horizontally, his blood surging within, forcibly resisting.
"Clang"— He was repelled, his body paralyzed again. Three consecutive direct hits with the Lightning Long Spear had progressively increased the level of paralysis in his body.
Although Big Cat had not specifically paid attention to this opponent before, he could confidently confirm that no contestant had used such a weapon in the previous competitions.
To be suppressed to this extent by a single weapon clearly indicated that it was an artifact-level existence!
Gu Lan pressed the silver gemstone again, and when his figure reappeared, he was already behind Big Cat. Clenching his fists, he hammered simultaneously onto Big Cat\'s back.
The powerful repulsive force of Lion Tiger Golden Gang burst out, but strangely, at the moment the incandescent Vigorous Qi hit Gu Lan\'s body, his armor turned transparent. The incandescent light entered and was reflected back out, impacting Big Cat once again.
Amidst a muffled grunt, Big Cat was struck and sent flying through the air.
The innate ability of the Liuli Stone Race, Reflection!
At this moment, a yellow gemstone on Gu Lan\'s right arm flashed with light. The Lightning Long Spear that had previously been knocked into the air by Big Cat suddenly plummeted down, seemingly drawn by a powerful force, descending from the sky and directly targeting Big Cat.
The entire process was incredibly quick, as smooth as flowing clouds and water.
Big Cat\'s Lion Tiger Golden Gang was already strong, but the paralyzing effect of the Lightning Long Spear was too severe. This time, Big Cat didn\'t dare to clash head-on and, enduring the surging Vigorous Qi within its body, stomped its right paw on the ground and burst out diagonally.
The yellow glow on Gu Lan\'s right arm grew even more intense. With a fierce swing of his arm, he directed the Lightning Long Spear to change course and chase after Big Cat. At the same time, the armor on his body burst forth with a glassy sheen again, a rebounding force erupted from his back, propelling his body like a Liuli cannonball towards Big Cat.
Unable to dodge any longer as the Lightning Long Spear moved too fast, Big Cat had no choice but to swing its Heavy Sword once more, knocking the Lightning Long Spear away. But in the next instant, it was struck by Gu Lan, who had come from the side, sending Big Cat flying. In its paralyzed state, the Lion Tiger Golden Gang\'s defense couldn\'t fully respond, resulting in Big Cat spewing blood from a direct hit.
Any spectator could clearly see that Big Cat was at a disadvantage due to its equipment. The opponent\'s armor and Lightning Long Spear, combined with the innate abilities of the Liuli Stone clan, completely suppressed Big Cat, preventing it from exerting its own strength.
"Brother, Big Cat is likely to lose if this continues. Its equipment is simply... If only we had known, we should have had father find some suitable equipment for it before the fight," Pretty Girl said to Tang San through a voice transmission.
Tang San responded, "This is the path it must take. In the finals, each clan will definitely support their contenders who have made it this far. It should face this battle as is. If it can win under these circumstances, then the Lion Demon Clan and the Tiger Demon Clan will surely take notice. After this competition, we can make contact with them."
Pretty Girl paused, "You think Big Cat can win?"
At this point in the arena, Big Cat was completely overpowered, continuously sent flying by Gu Lan of the Liuli Stone clan. The Lion Tiger Golden Gang on Big Cat\'s body began to scatter in disarray, obviously at an absolute disadvantage.
With a slight smile, Tang San said, "Just watch. Big Cat is a veteran fighter, its will to fight is strong enough. It\'s not that easily defeated. In terms of equipment, it is indeed inferior to its opponent. But the Liuli Stone clan\'s contestant has a major problem—the lack of explosive power. As long as it cannot overwhelm Big Cat instantly with an explosive strike, then Big Cat still has a chance."
The situation on the field was indeed unfavorable for Big Cat, which was being suppressed. However, Tang San had a clear understanding of Big Cat\'s resilience and fighting spirit. If one assumed that it would lose this fight just because it was being suppressed, that would be a huge mistake.
Gu Lan from the Liuli Stone clan was indeed very skilled in combat thanks to his equipment and innate abilities, and he could overwhelm Big Cat. But his explosive power was indeed lacking. After all, the innate ability of the Liuli Stone clan was passive, only able to rebound the opponent\'s power when being attacked. The rest of its performance relied entirely on its own equipment.
The Lightning Long Spear was indeed strong, and so was the armor. Even if they were not divine tools, they were close to that level, especially the Lightning Long Spear, which even the First-Level Bloodline of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang could not neutralize. But neither of them had the explosive power to breach Big Cat\'s combined offense and defense, making it possible for Big Cat to lose the match directly.
Inside the massive 500-meter diameter arena, Big Cat was forced into retreat, defending once only to endure several attacks. The only thing it strenuously tried to achieve was to avoid being pierced by the Lightning Long Spear, even if it meant enduring paralysis. The paralysis was so severe with Lion Tiger Vajra\'s protection; a direct hit would be much more troublesome.
Gu Lan\'s attack was relentless, and his armor continuously erupted with various element properties, mainly to aid his own attack against Big Cat, as well as to assist the Lightning Long Spear. The traction of the yellow light in his right hand on the Lightning Long Spear ensured it always appeared at tricky angles, unpredictable.
Big Cat\'s scattered Lion Tiger Golden Gang could only manage to block, but at least visually, it seemed only a matter of time before it was completely overwhelmed.
In the VIP seats, the mighty representatives of the Golden Lion Clan and the Golden Holy Tiger Clan furrowed their brows. How could they not see that Big Cat\'s suppression was due to its severe disadvantage in equipment?
