The Warrior of Love

"She is a Servant after all. If she hasn't dissipated, she is still alive...Do you need me to give her a ride?"

Anna didn't seem to like the leopard man who had beaten her up. She raised her sickle and asked Jiang Liu this.

Of course Jiang Liu would not agree and shook his head subtly.

Having said that, after "killing" the god-level leopard man with just one strike, Jiang Liu also had a rough estimate of the strength of the goddess fighting at home as mentioned by Quetzalcoatl.

——In short, it’s extremely strong!

"Now that the annoying pests have been removed, there will be no more noise."

Quetzalcoatl stretched out her hand, and the black shadow that hit the leopard man immediately flew back into her hand.

Jiang Liu took a closer look and saw the strange-looking weapon, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Judging from its general shape, it should be something between a stick and a heavy sword, and it should be made of some kind of mineral. You can tell at a glance that it is very heavy!

However, what is surprising is that on that unique "stone sword", there are sharp protrusions like saw teeth surrounding the "blade", making it look instantly ferocious and sinister.

If I have to say, apart from the fact that it is a cold weapon, it does look a bit like the "chain sword" in some science fiction works. I wonder if it is a strange weapon made by Quetzalcoatl himself.

——In fact, this is because Jiang Liu is ignorant.

This thing is not the original creation of Quetzalcoatl, and it has nothing to do with the chainsword. Its prototype is a stick weapon circulated among some indigenous tribes in America. At most, it became more gorgeous and stronger in the hands of Quetzalcoatl.

"I lost to you in a fist fight last time. This time, let's fight with all our weapons!"

"Goddess, we are not here to fight."

Although a war is inevitable, Jiang Liu still feels it necessary to say something. After all, he is a civilized person and should not shout for war and killing casually.

"On the contrary, we are here to seek the help of the God of Kindness. I know that you don't hate humans, you are just giving us a test... In this case, as long as the goddess is willing to join us, we are willing to accept any test."

"Hmm, I've been seen through. In fact, I like humans the most. But it will be difficult for you to survive this catastrophe...Okay, then I'll give you the simplest trial."

Quetzalcoatl pointed the serrated sword at Jiang Liu and grinned, revealing his sharp teeth.

"If you can win, then I will naturally agree to any request you make!"

Jiang Liu sighed deeply upon hearing this, his face showing helplessness and sadness.

"I don't want to always use force to solve problems. This makes many people think that I am a reckless man. Athens... Pallas even said that I am useless.

But I actually prefer to resolve conflicts through communication!"

——After saying that, he pulled out the Undead Sword from the dark door with great skill.

Chapter 625: Rider kick!

Clang——

A loud crash echoed in all directions, and the strong wind that followed blew away all the dust on the ground, creating a faint "wave".

Anna hurriedly held down her hood, but a few strands of beautiful purple hair were still exposed, swaying in the strong wind.

Duan Zang was in a similar situation. Although he was a mechanical puppet, his jet-black hair still fluttered in the wind.

Before the two girls could adjust themselves, another wave of wind and waves came sweeping in, even more violent than the last time, making them feel like they would be blown away if they were not careful.

"Hmm, that's amazing..."

Anna blocked the wind with one hand and forced herself to open her eyes to look towards the center of the storm. She saw two figures, a man and a woman, constantly colliding with each other, and their speed was so fast that it exceeded the limit of her dynamic vision.

Although she was prepared, the noise of the fight between the two men still surprised little Medusa.

Last time, Jiang Liu deliberately dragged Quetzalcoatl outside the city to fight. Although it was earth-shattering, it did not leave a direct impression on Anna. But now it is different. Anna can clearly sense the danger of this battle. If she were one of the parties, she would probably be killed in the first encounter!

Needless to say, the leopard man was killed instantly by Quetzalcoatl. Even that hateful priestess was no match for any of them. If she was really pulled over, her fate would probably be even more miserable than the last battle in Lagash...

Anna's insight was not enough to analyze the status of Jiang Liu and Quetzalcoatl, but her intuition told her that this sun goddess seemed to be stronger than when she beat Athena before!

That’s right, Anna’s intuition was correct. Quetzalcoatl’s ability value had indeed increased again, and Jiang Liu, who was fighting with it, felt it most directly.

Clang!

Every time the weapons clashed, there was a powerful force like a mountain pressing down on one's head, forcing Jiang Liu to use all his strength.

Although there are also issues with the compatibility of weapons, at this stage, similar reasons can no longer affect the course of the battle. The fundamental reason for this pressure is that Quetzalcoatl has become stronger!

A very obvious improvement. Compared to the last time they met in Lagash, Quetzalcoatl's arm strength alone is now one third stronger!

And it's not just wrist strength that's improved, but also agility, endurance, explosive power... almost an all-round improvement, which makes the combat effectiveness show a step-by-step increase!

Even though Jiang Liu covered the Immortal Slash with the divine aura and released all his physical strength, he was still unable to suppress the opponent. Instead, he was gradually surpassed by the Quetzalcoatl who became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Now he could only rely on his advantage in skills to offset the power gap.

"Well!"

"What's the matter? Come on, come on!"

Quetzalcoatl seemed to be swinging the jagged stone sword without any plan, but his brute strength turned the direct attack into an unavoidable range strike. The strong wind pressure tore everything around it apart, and even the ground was cut open by the solid wind pressure.

"Cheer up and play with big sister for a while longer!"

bang——

The jagged stone sword struck down from top to bottom with a force that could split mountains and crack rocks, and its target was Jiang Liu's head!

After being suppressed for a long time, Jiang Liu gradually became impatient. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He did not raise his sword to resist as before, but gathered his left hand to block upwards.

The goddess showed a hint of surprise, but her hands did not stop at all. Instead, she hit Jiang Liu's arm even more fiercely.

"Kick!"

The sound of broken bones was clearly heard, but Jiang Liu blocked the jagged stone sword with his left hand and put it aside. At the same time, a cold light flashed and passed across the goddess' chest.

"what?"

Subconsciously, he retreated in a hurry. Quetzalcoatl leaped lightly onto the pyramid-shaped temple, stood on the stairs and looked down at Jiang Liu. There was some distance between the two of them.

Jiang Liu stopped and looked at his left hand. It had been broken without a doubt after being hit by Quetzalcoatl. The bone spur had pierced his muscles and severe pain was constantly attacking Jiang Liu's senses.

However, he remained calm, gritted his teeth, clenched his left hand slightly into a fist, controlled the muscles to intertwine and squeeze, and forcibly put the broken arm bones back together. Then, streams of vitality were pumped into his limbs under the beating of his heart, and his left arm began to repair at an incredible speed.

As a "perfect" life form, Jiang Liu's physical activity is comparable to some so-called immortal beasts. Even one of the six great blessings, "Transcendence of Natural Body", comes from this.

Although it is in a "spiritual base" state, it is condensed based on the main body after all, and it seems that it has more or less inherited this characteristic.

Even if the bones were broken, it was just physical damage, which was the easiest to repair for this body. After a few seconds, the left arm could be used freely.

Jiang Liu was checking his injuries here, and the Quetzalcoatl on the temple was also looking at his chest. A shallow bloodstain appeared on his fair skin. Although it was not serious, if he reacted a little slower, his internal organs might be injured.

"Humph, you really can't be careless."

It was just a superficial wound, Quetzalcoatl didn't care. He carried the jagged stone sword on his shoulder, puffed out his chest and held his head high, and sneered.

"you--"

At this moment, a slight cracking sound was heard, and the goddess suddenly felt much more relaxed, and her breathing became smoother.

She subconsciously looked down -

A pair of plump and ripe fruits were exposed in the sun, showing their huge presence. Two pieces of rags were still hanging on their bodies by a rope, but they were also shaking.

"Ugh!"

Even the goddess with a heroic personality subconsciously raised her hand to cover the unique scenery of her upper body. A flush of anger or shame appeared on her face, and her emerald green eyes stared at Jiang Liu fiercely.

"Ah?" Jiang Liu saw clearly what happened just now and was stunned.

Anna and Dan Zang were also stunned, not knowing how to react for a moment.

In the end, it was little Medusa who broke the deadlock first. She pulled down her hood to cover her dark eyes, and gently uttered a few syllables to Jiang Liu.

"abnormal!"

Injustice!

Jiang Liu's mouth twitched, and he seemed to be about to say something but stopped.

To be honest he really didn't do it on purpose, it was purely an accident, but in this situation he was the one being condemned anyway.

"I didn't mean to... It's normal to damage clothes during battle, right?"

Jiang Liu spread his hands: "My clothes often get torn off, and I even fought naked, it's nothing!"

"He's really a pervert!"

After saying this, Anna looked at Jiang Liu with even more contempt.

"Burn, my fighting spirit!"

Before Jiang Liu could explain further, the sun goddess above the temple had already released her long-suppressed divinity.

The shyness and embarrassment had disappeared, and the sun goddess opened her hand openly, immediately releasing an astonishing aura.

hum-

A layer of red lotus fire wrapped around the whole body. The scorching flames distorted the surrounding light and shadows, and also covered the sensitive parts instead of clothes.

The goddess with emerald green eyes was bathed in flames, her long golden hair was like a dancing fire dragon, and her tall and muscular figure brought silent pressure, making the three people below alert.

"I haven't been this serious in a long time."

Although her accent was still strange, her tone was much more serious. This goddess bathed in fire spoke slowly, emitting endless divine power.

"I understand, but an ordinary competition cannot determine the winner. For you and me, that level of confrontation is far from being a threat. There is no point in continuing the fight.

But I am not a god who gives up halfway. I must finish everything I do. Next is my full-strength attack!"

“Really…Okay!”

Jiang Liu suddenly laughed, spread his legs, lowered his body slightly, and assumed a fighting posture.

Invisible waves spread out. Although there was no powerful momentum rising, it seemed to be connected to the earth, giving people a sense of solidity that was as unshakable as a sacred peak.

"Consider this as an apology. I will neither dodge nor avoid you. I will stand here and take your attack!"

"front?"

Quetzalcoatl narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw from Jiang Liu's eyes that he was not joking at all, so he couldn't help but grinned.

“Your courage is commendable! Well, if you can take this blow head-on and survive, I will acknowledge your (human) potential – come, and face the greatest test!”

The goddess leaped into the air, and her body wrapped in red lotus fire flew across the sky, just facing the light of the sun, like an arrow shot from a distant star.

The sun's fire that distorted space exploded, condensing into a brilliant and dazzling golden light at the right foot.

"Rider kick!"

Chapter 626: Goodbye, Leopard Man

In the end, Jiang Liu won.

This may not be accurate, because Quetzalcoatl did not really lose the battle. It was just that Jiang Liu took her flying kick and passed the test of the goddess.

In terms of pure power, Quetzalcoatl's attack was as terrifying as a meteorite hitting the earth. Even Ishtar, who was also a goddess, could not compare with it in terms of single-target attack.

Normally, even a god-level being would have to retreat when faced with an attack from Quetzalcoatl that used all of its strength, even unleashing its divinity.

But Jiang Liu lived up to his name as a hero. Facing the mighty goddess, he did not dodge. He was like a rock connected to the earth, using his own resilience to challenge the red lotus fire that could destroy everything.

Of course, the prerequisite is to activate all kinds of defensive protection - Jiang Liu is not a fool!

He knew very well that Quetzalcoatl was the most powerful among the goddesses. Although he was confident in himself, he did not act arrogantly in the duel just now.

He pushed his superior physical fitness and conceptual defensive protection to the limit, combined with the strongest martial arts of the era, and successfully passed the trial of Quetzalcoatl.

Even so, his arms and left ribs were fractured, and the left side of his chest, which was hit the hardest, was left with a large area of ​​burns, which looked extremely tragic.

But no matter what, at least the heart (spiritual core) was not destroyed. For Jiang Liu, as long as the spiritual core was preserved, he could slowly repair his spiritual foundation, so even if his hands and feet were broken, they were only "skin injuries."

Of course, Jiang Liu was in such a miserable state, and Quetzalcoatl was not much better off.

Jiang Liu was not one to stand still and fight back. He also used his divine power to deliver a punch that could penetrate a mountain, hitting Quetzalcoatl's foot solidly. The two of them hurt each other, and they exchanged fierce blows...

As a result, Jiang Liu suffered multiple fractures and severe burns, while Quetzalcoatl had his leg broken and could not recover in a short period of time, so he had to limp everywhere.

——So the flying kick only looks cool, be careful when trying it!

Quetzalcoatl did not deny his debt. He openly admitted his defeat, chose to believe in the possibility of mankind, and announced that he would stand on the side of Chaldea and Uruk to protect the future of mankind.

At this point, Jiang Liu's biggest goal for this trip was finally achieved, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

After that, he also communicated with the goddess and had a deeper understanding of her thoughts.
