Chapter 13: The Asura's Dance of Defiance

In the midst of chaos, a thunderous clash echoed through the battlefield as Leo, with a newfound determination, intercepted the Giant King's colossal sword with just a finger. The gasps from onlookers, including the Giant King himself, reverberated through the air. Leo, surrounded by an aura that seemed to defy the laws of nature, stood resolute in the face of impending danger.

As Leo deflected the Giant King's strike, a transformative energy surged through the Li family. The once disheartened warriors now felt a renewed vigor, their spirits lifted by the awe-inspiring display of Leo's strength. The Li family disciples, previously on the brink of surrender, found newfound courage in Leo's extraordinary feat.

The battlefield transformed into a stage for an epic clash between Leo and the Giant King. However, what appeared to be a serious confrontation was, in reality, Leo toying with his colossal adversary. With nimble movements and calculated strikes, Leo danced around the Giant King, his actions betraying a sense of playful mastery.

As the hours passed, the Li family's fighting spirits soared to unprecedented heights. Leo's maneuvers were not just a display of martial prowess but a spectacle of artistry, weaving through the Giant King's attacks effortlessly.

In a lull between exchanges, Leo questioned the Giant King's motives. "Why did you attack the Li family?" Leo's voice, carrying an otherworldly resonance, cut through the battlefield's tumult. The Giant King, momentarily caught off guard by Leo's inquiry, hesitated before responding.

"Asura Hand King, don't play dumb! You killed my people and killed my loved one's my family!" the Giant King roared, his eyes burning with a mixture of anger and anguish.

Leo, still gracefully repelling the Giant King's attacks, wore a look of shock. With ease, he explained, "I am injured after the war in the east protecting my place and my people and i did not commit such atrocities. I can have the Martial Alliance leader and the Beast King vouch for my innocence. I seek resolution, not needless bloodshed."

After a few tense minutes, the Giant King, visibly conflicted, ceased his relentless assault. He sank to the ground, his massive form now seated, tears streaming down his face as he cried out in anguish. "Who killed my family? Who did it?"

The battlefield, once a symphony of clashing steel, now echoed with the heartbreaking cries of a grief-stricken warrior. Leo, having momentarily halted the chaos, extended a hand – not in aggression, but in understanding. The truth remained elusive, and the search for answers became a shared pursuit between adversaries turned reluctant allies in the face of a common tragedy.

It was then revealed that after the war with the White Flame Demon Cult, the Giant King returned home to find his family brutally slaughtered. The only remnants left behind were the chilling markings: the word "Asura." The realization struck, transforming the Giant King's anger into a raw and painful grief. The very force that once fueled his fury now became a shared burden, intertwining his fate with Leo's in a quest for justice and closure.
