Chapter 280 Blessing of the Goddess of Love (4)

Xie Feng's right fist collided for the millionth time with the left fist of the God of Human Sacrifice and immediately after that, just like before, Xie Feng hit with his left fist without delay with the intention of smashing his enemy's head.

However...

BOOM!!!

Buluc Chabtan's left fist, which a split second ago was holding back Xie Feng's right fist, had successfully impacted and blocked the incoming attack.

"You... Are you getting faster?" Xie Feng murmured in disbelief. His pupils quivered slightly at this realization and, without waiting for an answer from his enemy, he lashed out with his right leg like a wild whip.

BOOM!!!

The almighty True God who seemed to have made a comeback to the battle was sent flying several kilometers before coming to a halt.

"Ha ha ha ha!" The god laughed. "Interesting, really interesting! Even though you're weak, at least I can have fun with this little avatar!"

Xie Feng did not reply. His sense of urgency was at its peak and the danger alarms were ringing louder and louder inside his head. Without delay, he charged towards his enemy at the speed of a supersonic missile.

BOOOM!

The fist of the twenty year old and the fist of the ancient god of the Mayan civilization met once again, causing another thunderous explosion and the space around them shook furiously.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Legs, head, elbow, fists, knees, every part of Xie Feng's body had become a fatal weapon with the power to shake the earth as he fought relentlessly against the enemy in front of him.

The God of Human Sacrifice was beaten mercilessly for a few minutes and the body of his already wounded avatar received an even greater number of wounds. But even then, the man who possessed the power to be worshipped and adored like a true god by all living beings in the universe continued to laugh as if he was enjoying being beaten.

BOOOM!

Xie Feng sent his enemy flying again before stopping and asking with a frown, "What's so funny to you?"

"Hahaha... Ha ha ha ha... No, sorry.... *SIGH*... How many years has it been since I had so much fun in a battle? "Buluc Chabtan stopped laughing and shook his head. "Even though this is just an avatar, the feeling of blood boiling from a good battle still pulses inside me."

Hearing these words, Xie Feng thought that he had finally understood the reason why the entity in front of him had the right to be called 'God of War'; such gods loved battle more than their own lives and were willing to sacrifice everything for a good battle against a powerful opponent. Unfortunately, not many existences had the ability to 'entertain' a God of War.

"I see." Xie Feng only uttered two words before resuming his attacks.

BANG!

BANG!

BOOM!

Wind blades, wind spears, wind chains, wind swords, wind hammers, and all sorts of wind-formed weapons were mercilessly hurled at the God of Sacrifices forcing him into an even greater passive state when Xie Feng limited his movements with ranged attacks while hitting him with every part of his body whenever an opportunity presented itself.

However, the opportunities to attack became less and less with each passing second. Even though Buluc Chabtan had practically lost half of his body when he was taken by surprise by Xie Feng's attack, he was getting faster and faster and the number of attacks that Xie Feng could make were fewer and fewer.

BOOOM!

It wasn't just speed, the strength behind each punch made by the god of the ancient Mayan civilization was getting stronger and stronger with each passing second! If it weren't for the fact that Xie Feng had taken his physical body to a higher level by using his own wind energy to become stronger and faster, his fists would probably be bleeding right now!

Another five minutes passed and during that time the battle only became more and more intense and terrifying.

BOOM!!!

"Do you know how it feels to be powerful but not be able to unleash that power against anyone!?" Buluc Chabtan shouted at the top of his lungs while punching with all his might.

BOOM!!!

"Do you know what it feels like to live for millions of years suppressing yourself for the sake of your own people!?" The God of Human Sacrifice roared again while punching again, this time with more power than before.

Unfortunately, Xie Feng did not answer any of his enemy's questions. It wasn't because he didn't want to.... It was because he was in no condition!

Before, Xie Feng undoubtedly had the upper hand and was suppressing his enemy, causing him constant injuries that were slowly but surely accumulating. However, as the battle dragged on, the ancient god's power and speed increased relentlessly until it reached the point where Xie Feng was at a total disadvantage!

Xie Feng had no choice but to clench his teeth and resist using all kinds of surprise attacks making excellent use of his power. However, it was as if Buluc Chabtan had eyes behind his back since none of his attacks were too effective.

"How... How do you get stronger and stronger!?" Xie Feng finally managed to finish a sentence after much effort.

BOOOM!!!

After a final clash in which Xie Feng was forced back a couple of meters, Buluc Chabtan stopped his attacks and slowly said, "Ah.... Of course, from the age of your bones you're only a twenty year old baby. It's normal that you don't know it then."

Xie Feng took the opportunity to take a breath and began to quickly think of how to defeat the opponent in front of him; even so, he was listening to the middle-aged man's words attentively.

"That blue-colored planet you live on. A few billion human beings live there." Buluc Chabtan said in a monotone voice and casually explained, "Although I am a god of antiquity, my divinity is too powerful... so I could be considered to be one of the most powerful gods that have existed since the history of the universe."

While pointing towards planet Earth, the ancient god continued, "Many people died today on that small world. Some committed suicide, others were killed, others simply died because their useful life had come to the end of the path.... Those deaths make me more powerful."

Xie Feng's pupils contracted fiercely when he realized what his enemy's words implied.

Every day, many people died for different reasons. However, the number of suicides was extremely high on "special" occasions; for example during 2012, many people committed suicide as they believed that the world would end because the calendar of the ancient Mayan civilization ended on that date.

So, how many weak-minded or mentally disabled people would have committed suicide today after witnessing apparently unexplained phenomena and terrifying explosions all the time? Xie Feng could not even estimate the count.

"My divinity is related to sacrifices, that's why I am known as God of Human Sacrifices." Buluc Chabtan pointed out. "Even though you destroyed half of my avatar's body with a cowardly attack, the death of those people strengthened me a lot.... But that's not all, heh.... Who would have thought that such weak beings would actually be useful alive as well."

The words of the God of Human Sacrifice took Xie Feng by surprise, however, that surprise disappeared as quickly as it appeared. After hearing the final words of the enemy in front of him, Xie Feng's face turned extremely ugly and he muttered in a low voice, "Don't tell me..."

"Looks like you already figured it out." Buluc Chabtan nodded indifferently. "I, as a god, receive power from the prayers of the lower existences. Even if they pray to another god, a small part of that power is transmitted to me.... Simply put, hundreds of millions of people inhabiting that blue world are praying right now, strengthening me in the process. To be honest, if it weren't for those prayers you would have defeated me. Too bad for you."

Xie Feng's mind went blank again. He was not willing to accept it.

The prayers of the humans were making Buluc Chabtan stronger? Didn't this mean that because of people of his own kind he was destined to lose?

Instead of feeling hatred towards people who didn't know what they were doing, Xie Feng smiled bitterly and asked with some helplessness in his voice, "So what? I can't defeat you anymore?"

Buluc Chabtan was silent for a moment before nodding, "I really had a lot of fun, human. But the current you is hopeless unless you can create an attack of the same magnitude as before in a second. Unfortunately that's not possible for you at your current level."

Xie Feng opened his mouth to say something but in the end could only shake his head while smiling bitterly. Of course it was impossible for him to create such a huge attack in such a short time; otherwise why else would he go to the trouble of gathering so much energy for more than ten minutes?

Besides, even if the enemy in front of him enjoyed the battle, it did not change the fact that Buluc Chabtan had come to take his life. Xie Feng was clear that it was impossible for his enemy to allow him to create a life-threatening attack; after all, things like this happened in light novels with dense and stupid protagonists.

Xie Feng lamented not being able to see his loved ones again. But if there was one thing that comforted him a bit was that fortunately Xie Yao would be protected by Gu Pojun.

After all, Xie Yao was the only one who couldn't depend on anyone but him because there were people who would try to kidnap her or even murder her.... As for whether she could live after knowing that he had died or not.... Xie Feng knew the answer to this but preferred to pretend ignorance.

"It's time to say goodbye, human." Buluc Chabtan stated and prepared to finish his initial objective; assassinate the person in front of him.
