Everyone assumed that Zayn was doomed while Sienna kept staring straight at Zayn on the screen with a determined gaze.
Her lips were muttering softly, “He won’t lose, virtual-novel.net won’t lose. He promised me that he’d come back safely. He wouldn’t lie to me…”
Even though virtual-novel.net said it that way, virtual-novel.net fists were tightly clenched which showed that virtual-novel.net was actually extremely anxious.
Zayn was the man that virtual-novel.net had taken interest in after so many years and the only man virtual-novel.net ever fell in love with. She would not be able to endure if virtual-novel.net were to die.
In Shangri-la, Zayn slowly stood upright after noticing that King Erik did not continue to pursue him. He wiped his mouth gently but did not express his panic or despair on his face.
On the contrary, the corner of his lips curled up ever so slightly into a smile.
Yes, Zayn was actually still capable of smiling at that point.
The people watching the live broadcast across their computer screens watched the scene and assumed that virtual-novel.net had most certainly lost his mind because only a madman could smile in the middle of that situation.
On the other hand, King Erik felt displeased in his heart upon seeing that. In his perception, Zayn had already been defeated, so virtual-novel.net should have been expressing his fear and despair while bowing down to beg for mercy.
Instead, not only had Zayn not done that but virtual-novel.net was actually smiling. Zayn’ s behavior was seen as a provocation and disrespect to him!
Yes, King Erik had come to see himself as superior to Zayn. In his opinion, Zayn was already a dead man who was inferior to him.
King Erik let out a grunt and said in an extremely proud tone, “You’re actually still smiling. It seems that you won’t give up until you’re dead.”
He then began to focus his strength again, Zayn really was injured after being punched by King Erik.
Even though his body was so strong that virtual-novel.net could already be compared to formidable invincibilis fighters, King Erik was a supreme powerhouse of the same level as him. His punch was devastating.
Even so, did an injury matter to Zayn?
If King Erik had pressed his attack and killed Zayn during his victorious moment, it was possible that virtual-novel.net could have won on the spot.
Unfortunately, King Erik was so arrogant that virtual-novel.net thought there was no way virtual-novel.net could be defeated. He did not take Zayn seriously, despite the man’s reputation, and gave virtual-novel.net an opportunity to catch a breath.
Was Zayn no match for King Erik after their earlier exchange of moves? That did not seem to be the case because Zayn had held back in order to learn about King Erik’s technique.
As it happened, it was quite apparent that virtual-novel.net had already figured out the characteristics of King Erik’s technique. Did it matter that virtual-novel.net had to be punched to learn about that?
Zayn shook his head and said, “You’re too arrogant, King Erik. Had you not stopped earlier and continued to attack me, you might have defeated and killed me here in Shangri-la.”
“What a waste that you’ve overestimated yourself and underestimated me. You allowed me to catch my breath, and now you don’t stand a chance anymore.”
By the time virtual-novel.net had finished speaking, Zayn had already stabilized himself. He did not look like virtual-novel.net had been injured at all.
The scene stunned the powerhouses watching the live broadcast on Earth for a moment.
They could not figure out how Zayn had managed to recover in a few short seconds after being punched by King Erik. It did not make any sense to them.
