Chapter 837: Striking Again, Ten Thousand Years Apar
t
The Lionheart King had a sudden epiphany when he truly saw what was going on.
Why was the red-haired Heavenly Ghost so powerful? It turned out that besides using the Ripple Talent and Shockwave Domain, there were two people who were fighting as well.
If it weren’t for the Third Young Master who saw it through, this secret would have been buried alongside the corpses of the defeated… But even if the truth was exposed, how could he have any hopes in defeating the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon duo? The two brothers not only have the same appearance, but they both possessed the Ripple Talent and Shockwave Domain. Combined with the energy-absorbing demon bug and other beasts, they were able to ignore the attacks of Lie Yan and Sky Execution, and even my own ‘sun’ did not prove to be effective against them at all.
What exactly does it take to defeat the Heavenly Ghost and the Heavenly Demon?
Before the Lionheart King had time to think about this problem, he suddenly felt a shadow of death clouding his heart.
A fist landed heavily on his back, behind where his heart was situated.
Then, there was another punch. This one came blasting from the front at the exact same time, squaring onto the position of his heart.
The twin brothers Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon made no move to attack the Third Young Master, but straightforwardly aimed for me? The Lionheart King was shocked, and the Supreme Will that he had just realized could no longer be maintained, resulting in an instantaneous jolt of his body. Lionheart King did not choose to fight back. He braced his body to take the impact of the fist, secretly swallowing a mouthful of blood from his throat and escaped with the fastest speed he could muster. Contrary to his retreat, a dark silhouette blurriedly pa.s.sed by and all Lionheart King could do was watch. What is Sky Execution trying to do? One Heavenly Ghost was already more than enough to send him flying. Now, there were two! Is he really trying to die?
“I’m returning your punch!”
Sky Execution summoned a sky full of electric arcs and the crackles of the electricity on his fists roared thunderously, completely blasting through the sound barrier of the air.
With his speed being a hundred times faster than that of sound, he cleverly avoided the Lionheart King’s body and accurately bombarded the left ear of the first red-haired Heavenly Ghost.
His punch was exactly the same as his previous attack. The move, the target, the abruptness— everything was exactly the same. The only difference was that the power had become stronger and his speed became faster, which was obviously the strongest blow that Sky Execution had acc.u.mulated for a long time.
The red-haired Heavenly Ghost who was. .h.i.t by the attack had a sudden burst of energy repelling from his ear.
But as soon as it formed, the fluctuation stopped instantly.
The Lionheart King turned his head in surprise and found that a little bit of energy radiated from around Yue Yang’s body. The energy turned the entire s.p.a.ce into a night sky, making everything unusually quiet, where even energy fluctuations were unable to form. He suddenly understood that the Shockwave Domain of the red-haired Heavenly Ghost and the Starry Sky Domain of the Third Young Master have clear distinctions between them— Third Young Master’s Starry Sky Domain had shattered the Shockwave Domain of the Heavenly Ghost.
When the shockwave field could not be formed, the Lionheart King discovered that under the attack of Sky Execution, the invincible Heavenly Ghost flew out like a meteorite and plunged deep into the depths of the ground.
It turns out that the Heavenly Ghost was not invincible as long as the shockwave field was broken!
In an instant, the Lionheart King’s spirit rekindled and he became ragingly fierce. The other sibling, Heavenly Demon became as angry as his brother and landed a heavy kick on Sky Execution’s lower abdomen. When Sky Execution vomited blood and was shot backwards, he quickly caught up with him and raised his fists high, expelling all his strength as he prepared to smash Sky Execution’s head. The Lionheart King despised himself greatly. While he was only watching the battle between the Third Young Master and the Heavenly Ghost, he had missed the chance to save lives. If the extremely powerful offensive attacker Sky Execution died, it would have quite a large impact in battle.
He tried to use his fastest speed to try to save him, but the distance was too far. He wouldn’t be able to make it, so he could only watch with widened eyes as the Heavenly Demon slammed his fist.
Boom!
The sound of a hard object resounding.
Someone flew out of the pile of gravel on the ground. He held a s.h.i.+ning dragon s.h.i.+eld as he stood in front of Sku Execution, blocking the fatal blow.
It was the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor’s great defense caused the Heavenly Demon’s arms to go numb. His internal organs churned and a mouthful of blood was spurted out.
The Heavenly Demon’s second fist was about to strike, but the Lionheart King had already arrived with the ‘sun’ s.h.i.+ning brightly in his hands. Losing the protection of the Shockwave Domain, the Heavenly Demon no longer dared to be as arrogant as before as he retreated, backtracking into a heap of smoke. Although the Lionheart King missed, he excitedly roared towards the sky as all of his confidence returned!
“Golden Feathers.”
A pair of giant griffin wings grew from the back of the Lionheart King, folding as they formed the shape of a circle.
As he was protecting the Dragon Emperor and Sky Execution whilst fiercely expanding his wings, his feathers dispersed against the red-haired Heavenly Ghost who was planning to launch a sneak attack on them. Thousands of golden feathers sprayed out like a storm, forcing the red-haired Heavenly Ghost’s retreat and forming a golden-feathered domain that resembled a cage of a thousand blades to protect themselves. Lionheart King looked at the red-haired Heavenly Ghost on the opposite side and challenged the opponent confidently, “I have a domain as well, let’s fight it out!”
The red-haired Heavenly Ghost nodded, “As you wish.”
But as he spoke, the Heavenly Demon appeared silently behind the Lionheart King, punching the Lionheart King’s waist with a heavy fist. While the Lionheart King was suffering from the pain, the Heavenly Ghost slammed his chin.
“Boom!”
Sky Execution condensed a ball of thunder with both hands before pa.s.sing through the other side of Lionheart King’s waist, pus.h.i.+ng the thunderball against the armpits of the red-haired Heavenly Ghost who swung an attack at the Lionheart King’s chin. The Dragon Emperor’s dragon s.h.i.+eld smashed heavily on the right kneecap of the Heavenly Demon, causing the Heavenly Demon who was chasing the Lionheart King to tremble in antagonising pain. Taking advantage of the situation, the Lionheart King managed to escape from the most dangerous attack. This time however, he did not run; instead, he made a counterattack driven by the force of anger. Now that he had knowledge of a few of the enemy’s secrets, if he cooperated with both Sky Execution and Long Xuan to complement each other in their respectively lacking areas, they could defeat the tacit attacks of the Heavenly Ghost and the Heavenly Demon. Even if the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon brothers did not possess the Shockwave Domain, it would be impossible for him to fight solo against two!
The Lionheart King’s energy exploded, and the golden-feathered field was blazing as hot as the solar wind.
Directly forcing the Heavenly Ghost and the Heavenly Demon to retreat.
Stroking his slightly pained jaw and waist, Lionheart King secretly released a sigh of relief. If Sky Execution and Long Xuan had not rescued him in time, he probably would have lost miserably.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Ghost and the Heavenly Demon, who were repet.i.tively struck by the Lionheart King, Sky Execution and the Dragon Emperor, remained their indifferent expressions as if they weren’t in pain at all. Heavenly Ghost, who was punched on the left ear by Sky Execution, had his muscles trembling with ripples of energy. With his rapid recovery ability as competent as before, Sky Execution’s powers that remained in his ears allowed their energy-absorbing demon bug to continue to absorb its remnants before it eventually disappeared without a trace. Even the demonic bug’s backfeeding could also restore a part of the energy of the Heavenly Ghost.
“Let’s attack together!” The Lionheart King hasn’t said this to anyone for nearly a thousand years.
But for the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon brothers, he was the kind of fool who would attack on his own.
In fact, the brothers have always fought as a duo against sole enemies.
There were more and more stars that surrounded Yue Yang.
One after another, a myriad of constellations were formed. Various energies, blessings and influences were created… Lionheart King and the Heavenly Ghost brothers thought that Yue Yang’s domain was the Starry Sky Domain, but only Sky Execution and Dragon Emperor knew that Yue Yang’s field was actually ‘Creation’. He was just simulating the Night Empress’s Starry Sky, using his creation field to form a domain of the starry sky.
Wow!
The respect of the Lionheart King, who received many of the created blessings, increased. The longer time they spent in the Starry Sky Domain of the Third Young Master, the greater the blessings became. With such a backer, did he really need to be afraid of the Heavenly Ghost?
The Heavenly Ghost brothers, who felt that their own realms were suppressed and weakened, secretly realised that they were on thin ice.
The fight should be ended quickly, otherwise it would be dangerous for them if things were prolonged.
Both sides unreservedly launched an attack on each other, with bombardments of fists blasting against the vital points of their respective opponent’s body.
Due to the frantic attacks of five powerhouses, the Star-gazing Fortress burst into an unprecedented explosion. Four suns, two thunderb.a.l.l.s and a dragon fireball hit eight blood-colored energy b.a.l.l.s resulting in a simultaneous wave of explosions that ruined the sky and the Earth. City Lord Qian Hu came to his senses from shock and found that he was not dead yet, but fell on a burning battles.h.i.+p ten kilometers away from the Star-gazing Fortress. The steward, whose life force was more tenacious than a c.o.c.kroach, also remained alive as he was stuck on the deck. He seemed to be in much better shape than Lima as the tauren hung upside down on the mast with blood dripping profusely. At least that guy was still snoring; Lima appeared to be breathing very lightly as the force of that shockwave probably caused Lima to lose at least half of his life.
He sat up strenuously and ignored his bloodshed, opening his eyes to look at the Star-gazing Fortress.
The Star-gazing Fortress no longer existed.
In its place was a huge pit that was five kilometers in size.
Queen Tai Lun and the others, all of whom had landed seven or eight kilometers away, were recklessly scattered all over the place.
There were only three people who were still standing.
One was Yue Yang.
The other two were the Heavenly Ghost and the Heavenly Demon brothers.
Heavenly Ghost was injured, but he appeared to be in a much better state than Lionheart King and Sky Execution.
The Lionheart King resembled a peac.o.c.k who had shed its feathers, his wings now in a bald appearance. He tried to stand up, but the pain in the ribs of his chest and the shock of his mind made him weak and dizzy, making him unable to rise. Not far from his feet, Sky Execution sat on the ground who was still trying to recover as if he had another battle to fight. The Dragon Emperor held on with his s.h.i.+eld, expression darkening as he wiped the blood on the corners of his lips…
Yue Yang was still levitating in the air, holding a nauseated Bi Lu in his arms. She was still tightly grabbing onto a s.h.i.+ny box even though she seemed to be dizzy, not forgetting Yue Yang’s instructions.
From the extremely high sky, a person who resembled the stature of a fairy descended.
It was the beauty Luo Hua.
As soon as she appeared, the surroundings burst into a waft of fragrance, as if flower petals had fallen from the sky like snow.
With her appearance, the entirely fierce battlefield seemed to immediately turn into a flowery garden.
“Fortunately I was fast enough, that was so dangerous!” Luo Hua patted her chest with joy. The veil on her face was surprisingly intact and was not blown off. In fact, she didn’t even have a speck of dust on her body. After her previous successful attempt at merging the Swift Finger Light Fang, Light Dragon Spirit and the Light Spirit Aurora, paired with her breakthrough with Yue Yang, she was able to get a glimpse of the ‘Divine Realm’ and her strength subsequently advanced by leaps and bounds.
“Die!” The once proud but now currently b.l.o.o.d.y Heavenly Ghost raised his finger, which made the blood-colored beam of light quickly fly straight past the center of Luo Hua’s eyebrows.
“Too slow.” The beauty Luo Hua raised her hand.
The eight dragon-headed Aurora spiralled into a curved ring, enveloping the largest dragon head Aurora.
She fought back thousands of times faster than the blood-colored light beam. After swallowing the blood-colored light beam, the Aurora kept attacking the Heavenly Ghost with an unpredictable speed and power that made Lionheart King’s eyes twitch subconsciously. This was because as soon as the beauty Luo Hua lifted her hand, the ‘Death Aurora’ was sent out directly, blasting back the Heavenly Ghost by about 10,000 meters.
For the first time, Heavenly Ghost screamed in pain. Even when Sky Execution bombarded his left ear and pain thundered through his brain, it did not cause him to exclaim at all.
The Dragon Emperor smiled, “It turns out that the Supreme Will can still be used in this way.”
The Lionheart King asked in surprise, “What?”
After asking, he suddenly realized that the attacking power of this masked beauty was not as powerful as his own ‘sun’, and yet, why was she able to injure the Heavenly Ghost? The reason was because her energy beam was filled with her intent to kill. In other words, her will and her attacking energy were together as one. The Heavenly Ghost’s Ripple Talent was unable to eliminate this damaging effect and bore the full force of the attack, which was why it seemed to be so painful. After the Lionheart King understood the technique, it seemed as if a larger window had opened before him and he felt a sudden sense of lightness in his heart.
It turns out that the true unshakable Supreme Will was omnipresent. It didn’t matter whether one was maintaining the state of mind or attacking— it would always remain as one.
I have only just touched the entrance of the door to enlightenment!
The Heavenly Demon appeared behind Luo Hua. This sneak attack of his was the same one that caused the Lionheart King to be attacked consecutively and it was impossible to dodge it.
The beauty Luo Hua did not look back as her body suddenly became richly scented. A snow fox girl appeared and waved a scented energy vortex, enveloping the Heavenly Demon before the vortex flashed and disappeared. After three seconds, the mighty Heavenly Demon was teleported 10,000 meters away and his whole body fell to the ground in embarra.s.sment.
“An attack that doesn’t require power?” Lionheart King looked dumbfounded. This kind of special battle had completely subverted his previous understanding of battles.
“The combination of the unique Will of the Beast and the teleportation ability.” The Dragon Emperor smiled.
“But it was just a Holy Beast. If it was a Divine Beast, wouldn’t it be…” The Lionheart King felt that he really needed to update his way of thinking.
“The Will of the Beast. When it forms, there will only be death.”
The Dragon Emperor said with certainty.
As if confirming his words, the Heavenly Ghost condensed two blood-red energy b.a.l.l.s, ready to remotely blast with the intention of killing the beauty Luo Hua.
He realised that this opponent was not very strong, but had a high realm and a fast attack speed. In other words, she hasn’t grown at all, just like the Third Young Master! No matter how fast the speed was, even a 6th Level Heaven Rank will be annihilated directly by the energy shockwave that would erupt with full force, let alone a mere 3rd Level Heaven Ranker.
The moment the Heavenly Ghost threw the energy ball.
A crack suddenly formed in the sky.
Like a knife that had traveled through time and s.p.a.ce, the sky was split in half… The Heavenly Demon was screaming frantically whereas the Heavenly Ghost turned around in amazement. A golden snake demon that was 100 meters high appeared behind him, wielding a giant golden blade that tore apart the sky.
This scene felt so familiar.
Time seemed to have reversed back to ten thousand years ago, where the same slash was swiped over the battlefield.
After transcending through time and s.p.a.ce, it seemed to be present again.
Under the gaze of the Lionheart King, Dragon Emperor, City Lord Qian Hu and the others, a small snake demon Loli appeared out of nowhere.
She waved the war blade in her hand. It was unstoppable as she struck the body of the Heavenly Ghost in half. From his shoulders, slas.h.i.+ng diagonally downwards all the way to his waist, any talents, field domains, beasts or treasures, were all useless… Just like back then, an image of a six-armed snake demon appeared. With a slash of her blade, the sky and earth was split in half.
The only difference was that the bloodied, War G.o.d Snake Demon became exhausted. Although she killed dozens of his companions in a split second, her strength had been reduced to the point of not being able to kill the Heavenly Ghost, allowing the heavily wounded man to escape from death once again.
With her reappearance today that landed a full blow of her true powers, she recreated the scenario of that year with her being in her peak state.
This time, it was absolutely impossible for him to be as lucky as last time.
The eyes of the red-haired Heavenly Ghost revealed an endless pit of despair and fear— It’s over!
