Chapter 2489
Seeing Father Adam rushing at him again, Jeffrey had no time to think and raised his fist to counterattack.
A fierce battle broke out between the two.
Both were skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and their fight was a brutal exchange of blows.
There was no dodging or parrying, only relentless attacks.
Each punch and kick echoed with force, and neither was willing to back down.
In terms of strength and defense, Venerable Jeffrey, protected by the Arhat Golden Robe, had the upper hand.
His every strike forced Father Adam to retreat several steps.
Conversely, Father Adam’s attacks couldn’t penetrate the defense of the Arhat Golden Robe.
While Venerable Jeffrey seemed to hold an advantage, he couldn’t secure a victory.
Father Adam’s formidable defense and terrifying regenerative abilities kept him in the fight.
No matter how severe his injuries—whether his chest was caved in or his face was beaten beyond recognition—he would instantly recover.
The battle reached a stalemate.
“I didn’t expect the priest to be so resilient. He’s been seriously injured multiple times, yet he’s unfazed. If this continues, when will it end?” Kassidy muttered, narrowing her eyes as she watched intently.
Last night, she didn’t see Father Adam as a threat, but today, he appeared extremely formidable.
Given Venerable Jeffrey’s strength, he was a contender for the top eight.
Yet, after a prolonged fight, he couldn’t defeat his opponent.
“Judging by their stances, it will be hard to determine a winner unless one of them is exhausted,” Noemi remarked, shaking her head.
Although Venerable Jeffrey seemed to have a significant advantage, Father Adam’s recovery ability was extraordinary.
Unless Jeffrey could deliver a fatal blow, any attack on Father Adam would be futile.
Clearly, Venerable Jeffrey didn’t possess the power to end the fight with a single move.
“If this goes on, it’s really hard to say who will win or lose,” Noemi continued.
“Although the Arhat Golden Robe provides invincible defense, it has a drawback: it consumes a lot of energy and isn’t suited for prolonged battles. If Venerable Jeffrey doesn’t find a way to defeat his opponent, the situation will become dire as the fight drags on,” Grace evaluated.
Any ordinary warrior would have been defeated long ago under Venerable Jeffrey’s relentless attacks.
However, Father Adam’s body was more monstrous than human, akin to a genetically enhanced being. Ordinary means couldn’t kill him.
“At most one stick of incense time remains. If Venerable Jeffrey cannot win, he will ultimately lose!” Fenley said with regret.
Fenley naturally hoped Venerable Jeffrey would bring glory to their country by defeating Father Adam.
But Jeffrey had already used all his tactics without securing a victory.
With his energy depleting, the Arhat Golden Robe would eventually fail.
Meanwhile, Father Adam showed no signs of fatigue and grew stronger with each passing moment.
As one side weakened and the other grew stronger, Venerable Jeffrey’s situation worsened.
