Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 914 Garnard's Request (4K, please vote!)

"Keep fighting, Gao Yang!"

Garnard roared, his voice like a rock tumbling down, shaking the void.

At the same time, he leaped up from the stone pillar, and in less than a second, he had already soared into the sky. Then, he flipped in the air and swooped down towards Gaoyang on the ground headfirst.

On a thousand-meter-tall stone pillar, Gao Yang felt an immense pressure pressing down on him. Looking up, it seemed as if a giant star, engulfed in flames, was descending from the sky. It appeared very far away, but in the blink of an eye, it was already above his head.

If Gao Yang had only felt a heaviness on his shoulders before, now a real and tangible pressure was falling on them. It felt like a space being compressed into an arc shape and placed on his shoulders. Facing such an attack, dodging was almost impossible.

Gao Yang tried to raise his hand, and wherever his arm passed, the space crackled with popping sounds. This snail-like speed of raising his hand was of no use in the current battle.

Gao Yang only had time to cover his entire body with his fighting spirit before the next moment when the fire star fell from the sky.

After a brief silence, a deafening roar erupted, and a shockwave, accompanied by flames, spread wildly in all directions.

If you look down at the earth from a macro perspective, you will find that the stone forest area where Gaoyang is located has a supergiant meteorite crater. The crater is surrounded by gentle slopes, and a series of dense ravines extend to the far distance. A large number of stone pillars are radiating outwards, lying on the ground and broken into countless pieces.

Gao Yang stood at the bottom of the meteorite crater, his greatsword held above his head, and bloody cracks appeared on his body.

It must be said that Garnard's strike was powerful and ruthless.

Unfortunately, although the momentum was great, the power was too dispersed. If it had been concentrated several times more, it might have been able to kill Gao Yang in one strike and directly trigger the Fate Speed.

"Ha~"

A sinister smile appeared on Gao Yang's face. He clenched his left fist, and a dazzling greatsword of will appeared directly in his hand.

'Natural Disaster - Star Piercing!'

A golden sword mark shot into the sky, and Garnard had no choice but to dodge this deadly attack.

Taking advantage of the moment when Garnard dodged, Gao Yang appeared in front of him and Yongyao slashed down at Garnard's neck again.

This sword strike was exceptionally ruthless; fine goosebumps appeared on Garnard's neck, clearly indicating that he had sensed the chilling killing intent.

The gun vibrated, and Garnard released it, raised his hand and slapped the handle with all his might, while bending over and lowering his head.

With a sizzle, the sword blade grazed the spear blade, sending the spear flying.

Garnard reached out and caught the end of the flying spear with his left hand, which then gripped the middle of the handle.

Then, he twisted his waist and flipped over, his spear lashing out like a venomous snake, suddenly thrusting towards Gao Yang's head.

It was a surprise counterattack.

Gao Yang tilted his head slightly, letting the spear blade slice across his cheek, and slashed forward with all his might with his greatsword.

boom!
Garnard was in excruciating pain as the gun butt bounced off and struck his chest and abdomen, causing him to lose his balance and crash heavily onto the shattered ground, sending debris flying everywhere.

The biting cold overwhelmed his senses once again. Garnard slammed his hand into the ground, causing the already shattered earth to explode, sending up a cloud of smoke and debris that engulfed him.

Amidst the billowing dust, a glint of cold light suddenly shot out, heading straight for Gao Yang's chest and abdomen.

The speed of this attack was astonishing; even with Gao Yang's reaction speed, he was still a beat too slow.

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced his body, but Gao Yang didn't even flinch. He turned around and slashed backward with his sword.

Garnard had appeared behind Gao Yang without anyone noticing.

He gripped his spear, twirling it in his hand until countless spearheads enveloped Gao Yang's body.

clang clang ~
A series of explosions erupted in the smoke and dust. Garnard went completely mad, unleashing his various superb marksmanship skills and launching a frenzied attack with the determination to kill Gao Yang on the spot.

After hundreds of clashes, Gao Yang's arm, which was holding the sword, was covered in bloody cracks. In contrast, Ganard, because his weapon was a spear, did not suffer much impact.

"Catastrophe - Annihilation of the Realm!"

Gao Yang remained calm as he delivered a simple, unadorned vertical slash towards Garnard.

bass!
An arc-shaped sword aura slashed towards Garnard. At first, Garnard didn't care, but when he saw the spatial rift behind the sword aura that hadn't healed for a long time, alarm bells went off in his mind.

'Dawn!'

With a low shout, Garnard thrust his spear forward and backward, aiming directly at the world-destroying sword energy unleashed by Gao Yang.

With a thrust of the spear, a dazzling light burst forth from the blade.

In an instant, everything within hundreds of meters of the two combatants melted away silently.

The arc-shaped sword energy slashed into the dazzling light, breaking through it layer by layer, and resolutely struck towards Garnard.

Bang!

The spear swept across, shattering the sword energy while simultaneously sending up dazzling shards of light that pierced towards Gao Yang.

puff!

The moment the spear thrust out, the spear beam composed of light pierced Gao Yang's chest.

Despite having his chest pierced, Gao Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he delivered a 'Man-made Disaster - Heart-Eating' strike with his backhand.

A dense barrage of killing sword energy erupted from Garnard's body, riddling his body with holes like a sieve. Yet Garnard seemed oblivious, thrusting his spear toward Gao Yang's head.

Another spear flashed, and Gao Yang suddenly turned his head. The spear blade pierced through his side of the neck, almost severing half of his neck.

The flesh and blood at the wound site grew back at an extremely fast speed. Gao Yang not only did not retreat, but even took a step forward and slashed down with his sword again.

The sword energy flashed and disappeared in an instant, and a lightning ball with a diameter of three meters instantly enveloped Garnard, within which the destructive sword energy erupted.

With a single sword strike, Gao Yang did not pause for a moment. A golden sword shadow suddenly shot out from his eyes and pierced directly into Garnard's brow.

Even with Garnard's unwavering will, he was momentarily stunned after being hit by the 'Cataclysmic Sword of Intent'.

'Natural Disaster - Spatial Torrent!'

He unleashed three sword strikes in quick succession, each strike instantly splitting into hundreds or even thousands of other strikes, violently engulfing the entire space where Garnard was located within their attack range.

clang clang ~
As the slashes struck the blade or handle of the gun, Garnard, in a daze, instinctively tried to block Gao Yang's attacks.

However, the attacks were too frequent, and Garnard was momentarily distracted. When he woke up again, he found that he had already used his second resurrection.

At that moment, Gao Yang's scorching red greatsword pierced directly through his heart.

Garnard was about to raise his gun to fight, but when his eyes fell on his weapon, he froze.

The once indestructible spear now had a taut blade and its handle was covered with chips from previous strikes, as if it would break apart on the spot if it were struck again.

This discovery left Garnard feeling somewhat disheartened.

He lost, and was utterly defeated.

He didn't even inflict a fatal wound on Gao Yang, while Gao Yang himself was resurrected twice. Even the weapon that had been with him for so long was nearly destroyed in this battle.

Continuing to fight would be futile.

Garnard lowered his spear, looked at Gao Yang who was standing close by, and calmly said, "I have lost." Gao Yang decisively sheathed his sword, stood opposite Garnard, and said, "I accept."

Garnard clenched his right fist and pounded it against his chest again, then bowed respectfully to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang accepted it calmly.

Garnard straightened his back, but in Gao Yang's eyes, he seemed to be leaning forward even more.

Gao Yang looked away and casually said, "Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the golden pillar of light that was falling behind him.

The battle was over, Garnard had conceded defeat, and he had become the victor, so he could naturally return to the waiting room.

Just then, as Garnard watched Gao Yang's departing figure, the hesitation in his eyes turned into determination, and he blurted out, "Lord Gao Yang, could you do me a favor?"

Gao Yang stopped and turned to look at Garnard with a strange look in his eyes.

Perhaps sensing Gao Yang's gaze, Garnard continued, "It's not free help; I'll pay you."

“My fee is very high,” Gao Yang’s voice rang out.

Garnard paused for a moment, then said, "I have information about two legendary attribute fruits, which can increase legendary physique and legendary strength by one point respectively."

Is this compensation sufficient?

Gao Yang shook his head slightly and said, "Whether it's enough or not depends on what your request is."

Seeing this, Garnard took the initiative to send a friend request to Gao Yang, "Lord Gao Yang, let's add each other as friends. I'll talk to you in detail. After you've listened, if you feel it's not appropriate, then just pretend nothing happened."

Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, then accepted Garnard's friend request.

Garnard breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Yang had defeated him, so his journey to the pinnacle of gladiator combat had come to an end. In other words, Gao Yang was the strongest legendary professional he could currently encounter.

Unable to contact the God of War and obtain his help, inviting such a powerful legendary figure was his last resort.

Gao Yang glanced at his friend list, turned around and continued walking back, saying as he went, "The Multiverse Trading Center, the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild awaits you."

Garnard nodded vigorously, and only when Gao Yang disappeared into the prison battlefield did he slowly exhale the stale air that had accumulated in his chest.

As the light and shadow shifted, Garnard returned to the prison battlefield, and the previously vanished spectators reappeared before his eyes.

This time, however, he was not facing a fervent audience, but rather angry gamblers waving notes and spewing profanities.

Garnard remained expressionless, turned around, and walked into the golden pillar of light behind him.

The insults from these people are nothing compared to the survival of his home plane. Everything he does now is to save his homeland, and he asks for nothing more.

A moment later, Garnard arrived at the Multiverse Trading Center and stood before the towering building of the Goblin and Gnome Guild.

Upon seeing Garnard, a dwarf waiter approached him, bowed slightly, and said, "Are you Mr. Garnard?"

“I am.” Garnard glanced at the dwarf waiter in front of him and nodded in agreement.

After receiving Garnard's affirmative reply, the dwarf waiter immediately said, "Lord Gaoyang is already waiting for you. Please follow me."

After saying that, he took the initiative to lead the way, guiding Garnard slowly into the Chamber of Commerce building.

Beep! Beep beep!

"President, Lord Gao Yang, Mr. Garnard has arrived." The dwarf waiter's voice rang out from outside the door.

Gao Yang and Juliano exchanged a glance, and the latter smiled and stood up to take his leave: "Your Excellency Gao Yang, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your meeting with your friend any longer."

After saying this, Juliano pushed open the door, nodded to Garnard, and then left the private reception room with the dwarf waiter.

Garnard entered the reception room and sat down opposite Gao Yang.

Gao Yang spoke first: "Tell me, what exactly is the commission, and what is the payment method?"

Garnard paused for a moment, then looked at Gao Yang and said, "My hometown is called the Orc Plane. It used to be an extremely beautiful world, but unfortunately, it stopped being a hundred years ago."

A wicked god descended upon my homeland, recklessly draining everything in the plane of existence, causing all living beings to gradually perish under its influence.

At this point, Garnard glanced cautiously at Gao Yang, then said:

"Lord Gaoyang, my request is to invite you to join me in driving this evil god out of my hometown."

After hearing Garnard's request, Gao Yang finally understood why Garnard gave off such a heavy feeling.

To be able to escape a plane sucked dry by an evil god and achieve legendary status requires extraordinary perseverance and luck.

Even so, Garnard was still helpless regarding the situation in his hometown.

While evil gods are not quite on par with deities in terms of status, this gap remains an insurmountable barrier for mortals.

This gap is difficult to bridge through sheer numbers. Without special means, ordinary legends can only watch helplessly as the evil god devours them.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Garnard, saying, "An evil god, that's an extremely difficult existence to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Garnard felt not disappointment, but rather a glimmer of hope.

Gao Yang said "extremely difficult to deal with" rather than "unable to deal with," which means that Gao Yang has a way to deal with the evil god.

"Let's talk about the reward. As far as I know, you previously only mentioned that you had information about two legendary attribute fruits, is that right?"

Garnard did not deny it. Facing Gao Yang's gaze, he honestly said, "Yes, I have information about those two legendary attribute fruits."

The two fruits were not yet fully ripe, and they were guarded by two legendary magical beasts.

Because my hometown needed me, and the fruits were not yet ripe, I did not kill the two magical beasts, leaving them to continue guarding the two legendary attribute fruits.

When the time is right, I will personally slay those two demonic beasts and deliver the legendary attribute fruit to you.

"How long until those two fruits are fully ripe?"

Gao Yang looked at Garnard and asked the question that had been on his mind.

If there are still eight or ten years left, then for him, taking on Garnard's commission is not something he has to do right now.

If it's only every three to five months, then making a trip there wouldn't be a bad idea.

After all, he had considerable experience in fighting evil gods, and he had even personally killed two true gods.

With Yongyao around, there's no need to worry about not being able to harm the evil god.

If we can harm the evil god, then we can win the battle.

Garnard quickly replied, "There are still less than two calendar months left, Lord Gaoyang, you can rest assured."

"Two months?"

Gao Yang lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking again, "Even with your strength, you couldn't solve it. It seems that the evil god is quite powerful. How much do you know about the evil god?"
