Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Sword Emperor Luo Chen, Dominating the Battlefield!
Outside the arena, Tian Xin'er, Chen Long, and the others who were not participating in the third phase all broke into a cold sweat for Luo Chen.
"That little 'baka's' strength is honestly too powerful. Luo Chen seems like he might not be able to beat him."
"If even the Sword Emperor can't defeat him, then no one will be able to take him down in this phase."
Zhang Yue stared at the arena and said, "The difference between the two of them is indeed significant."
"Huh?" Hearing this, everyone's spirits sank. "If even God Zero says that, it looks like Luo Chen doesn't stand much of a chance…"
"No." Zhang Yue clarified, "I mean, the difference is that Inoue Kojiro is way weaker than Luo Chen."
On the field, Inoue Kojiro, brimming with confidence, launched another attack on Luo Chen.
Just as the Eastern Nation audience believed that Inoue Kojiro was about to crush Luo Chen—
Suddenly, Luo Chen controlled dozens of sword shadows, sending them slashing toward Inoue Kojiro.
Inoue Kojiro swung his iron hammer to block the attacks.
Under the relentless barrage of dozens of sword shadows, Inoue Kojiro was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Although the sword shadows didn't deal much damage, their impact was tremendous.
When Inoue Kojiro finally broke through the sword shadows, Luo Chen charged forward with his sword in hand.
SWISH!
One strike broke through his defense.
SLASH!
Another strike forced Inoue Kojiro back.
Before Inoue Kojiro could regain his footing, the surrounding sword shadows once again converged, raining down on him like a storm.
As his health bar above his head rapidly dropped, Inoue Kojiro collapsed in front of Luo Chen with a thud.
[Ding~ Dragon Nation participant [Luo Chen] interrupted Eastern Nation participant [Inoue Kojiro]'s Invincible, stealing 50% of his Honor: +1,620 Honor]
Inoue Kojiro widened his eyes, staring at Luo Chen in disbelief.
To be killed by Luo Chen—it was something he had never anticipated.
Of course, he believed it was just luck.
"Again!"
FLASH!
A beam of light descended as Inoue Kojiro chose to sacrifice 10% of his Honor to revive on the spot.
With a murderous glare fixed on Luo Chen, Inoue Kojiro raised his hammer high and smashed it into the ground.
BOOM!
A massive fissure extended toward Luo Chen.
Luo Chen, unfazed, directly used sword shadows to construct a bridge over the fissure, running across them to confront Inoue Kojiro.
SWISH!
One strike fell, accompanied by dozens of sword shadows delivering a fatal blow to Inoue Kojiro.
Inoue Kojiro tried his best to block, but within three seconds, he was slain by Luo Chen.
The entire arena fell into dead silence.
Previously, being dominated by Zhang Yue could be excused.
But who would have thought that even Dragon Nation's second-best, Luo Chen, could so easily and effortlessly kill Inoue Kojiro!
This was a player whom Eastern Nation had poured 10% of its national resources into, crafting their strongest champion.
Just like yesterday against Zhang Yue, Inoue Kojiro was unwilling to accept defeat. He chose to revive on the spot again.
And as expected, he was once again swiftly killed by Luo Chen.
Some Eastern Nation spectators watching at home collapsed into their seats, utterly dejected.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Nation erupted into cheers.
Even Wu Haotian and Ouyang Ling'er were utterly astonished:
"Never would've guessed that the boss's little follower was this strong—truly a hidden powerhouse."
"We usually see Luo Chen following our guild leader around like a puppy. Sure, he's stronger than the rest of us, but who would've thought he was powerful enough to easily crush Eastern Nation's national champion?"
"Maybe the guild leader's brilliance overshadowed Luo Chen's true strength…"
At this moment, everyone viewed Luo Chen in a new light.
Only Zhang Yue remained unsurprised.
His protégé—he trusted completely.
After being killed six times by Luo Chen, Inoue Kojiro finally accepted his fate.
Instead of reviving on the spot, he opted for a random revival to avoid Luo Chen and target other Dragon Nation participants.
However, the battlefield was only so large.
No matter how much Inoue Kojiro tried to avoid him, he couldn't escape Luo Chen completely.
And every time Luo Chen encountered Inoue Kojiro, he would mercilessly take him down.
After achieving a thirty-kill streak and the title Unparalleled, Luo Chen soon reached the ultimate achievement: Godlike.
Meanwhile, Inoue Kojiro was reduced to scavenging kills, barely earning Honor to survive.
But if he scavenged poorly and ran into Luo Chen—
Well, there went his efforts.
Luo Chen became like a second Zhang Yue, dominating the battlefield.
Of course, compared to Zhang Yue, Luo Chen was still a step behind.
Ten minutes later, the match ended.
The score between Dragon Nation and Eastern Nation: 23,250 to 7,890.
At the end of the day, Dragon Nation crushed Eastern Nation with a total score of 120,000 to 10,000, securing an overwhelming victory!
12 to 1.
The results were brutal.
Never in the history of the Professional Tournament had Eastern Nation suffered such a devastating loss.
After the match, the entire Eastern Nation team wore dejected expressions, as if they had lost their families.
Ouyang Ling'er, however, burst out laughing:
"Hahaha! Look at that little Kojiro—his face looks like he just ate poop!"
"He was so arrogant before, and now he's so pathetic!"
"Serves him right! Acting cocky gets you struck by lightning. Keep it up, why don't you?"
"Haha, I can't breathe! This is too funny!"
Just as all the Eastern Nation participants were doubting their life choices, a system notification suddenly shook them to their core.
[Ding~ [Dragon Nation] has issued a challenge to [Eastern Nation]. Please vote to accept or decline]
Everyone froze.
"Refuse! Refuse! Decline immediately!"
"If anyone votes to accept, I'll beat them to death!" Inoue Kojiro shouted, brandishing his hammers.
And so…
[Ding~ After unanimous voting, the Eastern Nation participants have declined your challenge]
"Pfft!"
Over ten billion Dragon Nation spectators watching the live stream collectively facepalmed.
["They actually refused!"]
["They chickened out, haha!"]
["Wasn't that little Kojiro supposed to be amazing? Where's all that confidence now?"]
["Beaten silly by God Zero and Master Luo Chen, hahaha!"]
["Inoue Kojiro: Everyone stay down. I'm getting slaughtered!"]
This reaction was entirely within Zhang Yue's expectations.
After being humiliated twice, it would've been idiotic for them to accept another challenge.
Zhang Yue's purpose in issuing the challenge was nothing more than to mock them.
Continuing to target Eastern Nation had no meaning.
Zhang Yue's next targets were the global top three: the Lighthouse Nation, Bear Nation, and the Cold Nation.
To elevate Dragon Nation's global standing, they would have to take on these giants.
With three matches remaining, Zhang Yue smiled.
"Perfect. One for each. Let's go."
Just as Zhang Yue was planning this—
Suddenly, all Dragon Nation participants received a system notification:
[Ding~ [Cold Nation] has issued a challenge to [Dragon Nation]. Please vote to accept or decline]
Zhang Yue raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Just as I was about to come for you, you've delivered yourselves to me."
With that, the Cold Nation team approached in the distance.
"A mere Dragon Nation, dreaming of rising up?"
