Chapter 2314
Ezekiel stepped back as Waylon’s words echoed in his mind.
‘Luna has the makings of a martial god. To deal with her, there are no shortcuts; you can only fight head-on. Philip is Holtrien’s strongest pillar, and the students he trained are never weak. Luna and Conrad are definitely no pushovers.
‘Ezekiel, life is like this. Only when you face stronger opponents can you climb the peak of martial arts. Otherwise, once you hit your limit, you fall.”
A subtle dragon’s roar sounded as Ezekiel unleashed his ultimate technique, The Dragon’s Cyclone. It was Waylon’s signature skill that dominated martial arts across the globe.
Meanwhile, Luna relied on her dual-element energy; one for offense and one for defense, an impenetrable wall. However, her face slowly paled.
Ezekiel’s energy, combat awareness, and even killing moves were no worse than hers.
So at this point, only two uncertain factors remained to be tested.
First, willpower, and second, luck.
This was the Martial Tower, and Luna believed luck would be on her side. As for willpower, she felt that even if her body were shattered into pieces, she would not surrender. Therefore, possessing both advantages, she did not believe Ezekiel could succeed in this battle.
Green and violet energy clashed together, swirling like a storm yet beautiful to behold. The power inside could shatter stone and split mountains.
Luna moved like a panther, graceful and quick, and each kick from her heavy boots made Ezekiel’s chest churn with blood.
However, once The Dragon’s Cyclone came out, everything shifted. This was Waylon’s personal creation, inspired by Holtrien’s ancient octagonal formation techniques, yet taken to another level in his hands.
Luna instantly felt as though she had sunk into a swamp, surrounded by twisting currents where Ezekiel’s figure flickered in and out like a ghost. Even so, she did not show any panic as she had anticipated all of this.
She knew well that to defeat her opponent, she must first understand them. So, she had studied The Dragon’s Cyclone carefully. Her hands wove together, and two walls of energy immediately spread around her body, protecting both sides. Then, her body slammed backward, crashing into the illusory octagonal formation surrounding her.
With a thud and the sensation of hard impact bouncing back, Luna used the momentum to reverse direction and land on the ground. At that moment, a dragon-like phantom shadow was already plummeting straight down toward her head from above.
She gave a light shout, her delicate hands reversing as blue and purple flashed like lightning and frost, meeting the attack head-on.
The next moment, she silently cursed her luck. The dragon above shattered instantly, and she realized it was just a feint.
The real killing move was still nowhere to be seen!
Luna’s expression tightened slightly. This was her first time encountering a high-level opponent.
While Ezekiel’s combat power has not advanced to the martial emperor level, becoming a martial arts giant who could break through situations with pure force, his combat style was masterful, calm, and layered with trickery.
Immediately after his feint came a needle-like sting at her lower back.
Without thinking, Luna spun and lashed out with a kick. A crescent blade of energy sliced through the air. Yet again, it struck only another phantom.
Ezekiel’s real attack was still nowhere to be found.
