This means that your most powerful means can be endured by the opponent. The opponent is also using this method to show the power gap between both sides.
This is indeed a blatant provocation, and the opponent being a Bunker human only makes it more provocative.
But Sagittarius must admit, this old man has the qualifications.
After the death of Phoenix, all remaining constellations were strengthened. Back then, Cancer avoided confrontation simply out of annoyance, not because they lacked confidence.
And after Phoenix died, Sagittarius was even more acutely aware that his strength had already surpassed that of Cancer back then.
Yet, even so, his attack was still intercepted by the opponent.
"Hahaha, am I already so famous? What an honor."
Sagittarius raised his enormous blue crossbow, saying:
"Even on the Three-Tower Battlefield, you are someone worth going all out against. Looks like they intend to forcibly annul the contract by using your strength?"
Albert said:
"If I were to ask what the agreement is, it seems you wouldn’t tell me?"
The third arrow locks onto Wen Xishu once more. This is the answer.
Albert just chuckled, but likewise, his whole aura was elevated to the extreme.
That outfit already started to fracture, revealing Albert’s formidable upper body, with all his muscle lines clearly defined.
This time the arrow was different from the previous two. Wen Xishu could see that the light on the arrow was crimson red.
His first reaction to this color was thinking of magma, elements.
Wen Xishu guessed correctly, Sagittarius’s third arrow was an Elemental Arrow.
But no matter what arrow, Albert’s response was singular: fist.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, stating with a grin full of battle intent:
"Seems like information is fought out."
Sagittarius finally realized this human was too strong, strong enough that he became aware that, besides his siblings and the products of those ultimate plans...
There were also the Bunker people.
The tangled and chaotic cause and effect wasn’t originating from the holder of the "Fated Duel," but from the old man in front of him.
He must face this opponent with all his strength.
Albert knew full well that mere defense wouldn’t work. The strength of Sagittarius was likely to truly be revealed next.
The opponent’s first two arrows were merely probing. The true challenge had just begun.
But Albert had to stand before Wen Xishu; if he didn’t, Wen Xishu would surely die.
Without Wen Xishu, there’d be no chance to solve the root of the problem. Hence, preserving Wen Xishu was extremely important for Albert.
Similarly, Sagittarius also saw this clearly.
"In this world, you are the only human capable of enduring my arrows. But since you’re the only one, it means the person behind you cannot withstand my arrows."
"This is your endpoint, Albert."
Albert calmly said:
"Perhaps I cannot leave here, but how do you know my fists aren’t enough to kill you here?"
Even at a distance from his opponent, Albert was confident that with his powerful fist force, he could break his opponent from afar.
But still that one phrase...
Facing Sagittarius, offense and defense couldn’t be balanced.
If he were to attack, and simultaneously protect Wen Xishu, then he couldn’t break the arrows with fists but had to resist Sagittarius’s arrows with his body.
This was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
So Albert’s current situation wasn’t favorable.
At this moment, Sagittarius’s third arrow was finally shot!
Facing the powerful Elemental Arrow, Wen Xishu saw everything around him turn into a sea of fire.
The entire Isaac City seemed like it had fallen into a hell of magma.
A powerful arrow, endless infernal flames, intent on consuming everyone in the path of the arrow.
Wen Xishu could only pin his hopes for survival on Albert. Even though he faced a terrifying power capable of scorching a city, Wen Xishu still somehow felt that the old principal could block it.
At the same time, he overheard the conversation between the old principal and Sagittarius.
"Sagittarius has already formed a perception... The principal, because he guards me, cannot achieve both offense and defense."
"But if I could, I’d bring a breakthrough point for the principal."
That was Wen Xishu’s thought.
But Albert didn’t think Wen Xishu was a burden, didn’t think Wen Xishu was binding him. He realized his situation wasn’t favorable.
Yet, facing the devouring infernal flames, Albert suddenly had a thought.
If he couldn’t balance offense and defense, then he’d make offense and defense one!
If he couldn’t unleash fists for both attack and defense, then he’d blend attack and defense into one punch.
When the endless infernal flames swept everything, and the surroundings became an infernal sea of fire...
Sagittarius furrowed his brows.
For the first time in his life, the hunter who always locked onto others, felt a sensation of being locked onto himself.
Albert’s figure was imposing, but to the Sagittarius riding atop a warhorse in the sky, Albert should have been something insignificant enough to overlook.
But peculiarly, Sagittarius saw a huge shadow.
That was the air of one standing at the pinnacle of human combat strength.
Fist wind ravaged, when the infernal flames were scorching the city, aiming to enflame the heavens, a massive storm split the towering sea of fire apart.
Like a god of the sea wielding a trident, slicing open the ocean.
This spectacle left Xun Hui, standing within the Selfless Domain, staring in astonishment.
He realized the gap between himself and the old man was extremely vast.
Facing an arrow without form, impossible to intercept, which transformed into endless infernal flames, he somehow used physically manifested fist wind to dissipate the flames.
What caliber of power is this? Could he really be a product of our same worldview?
The massive current tore through the sea of fire, even Sagittarius hadn’t anticipated his Elemental Arrow being destroyed in such a straightforward manner.
But Albert’s intent wasn’t merely to break this arrow.
This punch was both defense and attack.
More imposing than Albert’s aura was the punch shadow after breaking the sea of fire.
A wild gust howled, the terrifying punch blocked the arrow’s power without dissipating at the end of its strength, but still had remaining force.
There was still endless force!
The gaze of the warhorse treading the void crossed the layers of fist force storm, landing on the elder who unleashed the punch.
Its gaze was filled with fear.
This was akin to the terror felt upon encountering Leo, facing top-level combat power.
"Who said I can only defend! Hahahahahahaha..."
His hearty laughter echoed through the heavens, like an indomitable war drum resonating. The massive fist force, crashing into the transparent warhorse, made it cry out in pain.
This same creature that overlooked humanity for so long fell from the sky to the ground under Albert’s punch.
Its cries mingled with Albert’s mocking laughter.
Sagittarius also landed on the ground, although not embarrassed, but this round he lost.
This punch could injure the warhorse, but wasn’t enough to break Sagittarius’s defense. However, he had to admit, because he underestimated this punch...
Standing proud in the sky, his feet began to touch the dust of the earth.
