Chapter 957: Gentlemen's Showdown

Closing his eyes indeed affects his movements.

Even with extraordinary senses that can determine my position, even being able to accurately deflect tiny explosive pellets back.

But since he dares not open his eyes, what he most likely relies on is hearing!

Deng Shentong gently pressed his left hand on the combat suit on his right arm. The outer shell of the combat suit opened, and six micro-robots flew out from inside.

In the Ice Age, high-power consumption robots have gradually been phased out on the battlefield, but these little gadgets running on micro-batteries can still play a role.

Deng Shentong quickly gave them instructions.

The six micro-robots flew towards six directions around Elias respectively.

"Now, begin!"

Deng Shentong issued the command.

In the next instant, these six micro-robots actually emitted an ear-splitting sound!

The sharp sound pierced the ears like needles.

Deng Shentong had already used the principle of sound wave cancellation in advance, employing sound waves of the opposite phase to cancel out this noise.

But for Elias, this sudden noise instantly plunged him into immense agony.

His brain felt as if being pierced by ten thousand steel needles, the pain so severe he immediately covered his ears.

But this kind of sharp sound wave, even with ears covered, still drills into the ears, stimulating his eardrums.

"Eyes cannot see, ears cannot hear, let's see what you use to counterattack now?"

Deng Shentong, carrying his sword, swiftly charged towards Elias.

This time, his target was Elias's left foot, whose external carapace had already been blasted open!

"Thwack!"

The long sword slashed a huge gash, blood gushing out torrentially like a waterfall.

The tendon in Elias's left foot was directly severed.

He cried out in agony from the pain, and because his left foot could no longer support his body, he crashed to his knees on the ground.

After Deng Shentong dashed forward and steadied himself, he intended to repeat the trick and sever Elias's other foot.

"Damned insect, go die!"

Just then, Elias let out a pained roar, and his body actually began to rapidly expand, with various parts emitting scorching white steam.

For some reason, Deng Shentong suddenly felt uneasy.

It was a threat close to death.

He immediately halted his forward dash, without hesitation, swiftly retreating backward!

Just as he expected.

Elias, transformed into the Giant Spirit Datuk, suddenly began to violently expand, the white steam soaring skyward like a heat wave.

In a brief moment, it was like a huge bomb starting to explode!

The Giant Spirit form's trump card — [Mortal Nuclear Weapon].

Releasing the power of the transformed Giant Spirit Datuk all at once will trigger a violent explosion with a two-kilometer blast radius!

The surging heat wave swept out in all directions, clearing away all surrounding buildings and withered trees completely. The thick snow on the ground melted and then evaporated.

Deng Shentong, with high alertness, escaped immediately, but was still caught by the blast wave and sent flying hard.

He felt intense heat on his back, and his combat suit was burned with a large tear.

Fortunately, he had the protection of Sacred Form Enhancement, which prevented him from being seriously injured.

But his throat felt a metallic sweetness, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

His chest cavity throbbed with raw pain.

"If I had been in the core area of the explosion just now, I might be dead by now."

Deng Shentong thought with lingering fear.

Battles between high-level superhumans are just so perilous; a single moment of carelessness can cost you your life.

In the peripheral areas of the battlefield, the superhuman team members of both squads were also engaged in fierce combat.

But the commotion here terrified them to the core.

Combat at the captain level and above exists on a different dimension from theirs; they simply aren't qualified to intervene.

At this moment, both sides could only pray for their own captain, unable to provide any other assistance.

Deng Shentong slowly stood up. He took a healing pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

As for compounds, he wasn't planning to use them for now.

Unless forced into a corner, he didn't want to use something that overdrafts his body.

Because overdrafting power at such a time is equivalent to automatically withdrawing from the competition for the Divine Source.

He was not willing to hand over such immense fortune to others.

This area of the battlefield had been completely cleared, and the toxic miasma had rolled far away, unable to approach for a short time.

Elias had returned to his human form. Holding the green scepter, he walked step by step towards Deng Shentong.

His combat suit had already shut down the visual system and activated active noise cancellation.

Deng Shentong's same trick could no longer be used a second time.

But Deng Shentong also made a judgment.

That kind of high-consumption skill couldn't possibly be used a second time in a short period either!

"You do have some strength, but now, I've already figured out your abilities."

After saying this, Elias actually reached out and drew a sharp long sword from within the green scepter.

It was a rapier, its tip pointing directly at Deng Shentong's head.

"Next, let us have a duel between gentlemen!"

The two had pretty much used up their respective trump cards in the life-and-death struggle.

So next, it would be a true clash of hard strength.

Deng Shentong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and assumed a classic fencing stance. "Good, then let us fight!"

As soon as the words fell, the figures of both men disappeared from their spots simultaneously, then charged towards each other.

Fencing combat is extremely dangerous; it is a blade focused primarily on thrusting. However, unlike sport fencing, its sides are also sharpened.

So besides having formidable thrusting power, it can also slash open wounds on an enemy with its side blade.

When thrusting, the sword tip never leaves the enemy's center line, creating a tremendous sense of pressure.

A single mistake and it will ruthlessly pierce your heart!

The sound of clashing blades was like raindrops falling on rocks during rain, a continuous crackling patter.

Both men considered themselves nobles, were skilled fencers trained since childhood, and both possessed formidable close-combat strength.

So this battle was extremely intense, and soon both showed obvious bloodstains on their bodies.

"Thud!"

Elias found an opening and thrust his sword straight through Deng Shentong's lower abdomen!

And Deng Shentong took the opportunity to pierce through Elias's sword-wielding shoulder.

Injuries exchanged for injuries, neither had an easy time!

Both men endured the severe pain and separated. The first thing each did was take out hemostatic medicine and begin treating their wounds.

Otherwise, in these temperatures, they would quickly lose combat effectiveness due to frostbite.

And just as the two were fighting desperately, their strength nearly depleted, and both seriously wounded...

A bullet shot out from deep within the toxic miasma and pierced through Elias's head.
