Chapter 1493 Heavenly Hound Went Mad
“What the…”
When Heavenly Hound saw the sword occult arts coming one after another, he staggered.
“I shouldn’t have said that! I shouldn’t have asked her to make the first move.
“I can’t believe she would make so many sword moves simultaneously. She didn’t even give me time to catch my breath.”
Heavenly Hound was shocked, and countless disciples watching the battle gasped.
“She is too strong.”
“This is just a friendly compet.i.tion. If it’s a real fight, Zhang Yumeng will definitely be a very strong opponent.”
“Terrifying! Could it be that the number one expert on the south coast is about to be replaced after this battle?”
“The end of a legend represents an even stronger and more formidable legend.”
Many disciples were wavering. At first, they thought Heavenly Hound would win, but now it seemed that Zhang Yumeng had a better chance of winning.
Hearing a lot of discussions, some people couldn’t help but refute.
“Zhang Yumeng’s moves are indeed powerful, but Senior Brother Heavenly Hound is not weak. He will definitely be able to deal with her moves easily.”
“It won’t be easy. It’s true that he can deal with them. Heavenly Hound is also very powerful.” A young talented disciple couldn’t help laughing in surprise. “Let’s wait and see. This is definitely a wonderful battle.”
Those sword moves were incomparably dense, and every single sword move was filled with boundless profundity. And yet, they were simply too fast.
It seemed that in other people’s eyes, they were all trump cards. But to Zhang Yumeng, they could be used at will as if they were free.
Some disciples even felt distressed.
“Such precious moves are displayed in just a sparring match! What a waste!
“I guess I’m just too poor. I only have three occult arts that are powerful enough to be used as trump cards, but she…
“Alas, she’s too formidable.”
A small number of disciples felt distressed, but more people had feelings of yearning and admiration.
Heavenly Hound’s pupils contracted when he saw this.
But then he frowned.
“This is a bit troublesome.”
He muttered to himself as he continuously swung the long sword in his hand.
“Cold Leaf Sword!
“Swimming-lotus Sword.”
The sword occult arts he performed were extraordinarily imposing.
Heavenly Hound had the advantage that he had a deep understanding of all kinds of occult arts.
After all, Mengmeng was only at the G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage.
She was already quite capable to be able to fight neck and neck with an outstanding Dao Seeking Cultivator at the Void-refining Realm Middle Stage, who was a realm beyond her. Zhang Han was very satisfied with that.
Back then, Old Weirdo Zhang had done the same thing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dense sword moves in the air kept colliding.
It was like a battle between two armies, and the mortar was ceaselessly covering and bombarding the other party.
One minute, two minutes… five minutes pa.s.sed.
Mengmeng’s sword moves were not repet.i.tive.
However, Heavenly Hound used more than 20 occult arts of swordsmans.h.i.+p, and he repeatedly perform them.
Sometimes, he needed to cast two or three occult arts to resist the one Mengmeng displayed.
That was to say, while Mengmeng made 50 moves, Heavenly Hound would have to make more than 100 moves. His energy consumption was twice hers.
“Is she a monster?
“Holy s.h.i.+t!”
Even Heavenly Hound felt a little tired.
He was slightly shocked.
“This won’t do. If this goes on, I will lose sooner or later.”
Rumble!
Finally, he quickly launched five kinds of occult arts. Heavenly Hound said hurriedly, “All right, all right, it’s my turn to make the first move.”
“Hmm?”
Mengmeng was stunned for a moment and then stopped. With such high consumption of spiritual force, Mengmeng only had about 40% of her spiritual force left.
She was ready to make a big move when it dropped to about 30%.
She didn’t expect that the other party would ask for a stop.
“All right. You may go first.”
Mengmeng nodded gently.
Heavenly Hound exhaled deeply and said, “Let me take a breath.”
“Okay.”
Mengmeng was floating in the air.
She was wearing a white dress. It was not a thin dress that could show off her figure and required her to put on shorts. Instead, it was a dress bought in the Cultivation World. The long dress had pants equipped inside. It looked beautiful and was convenient for movement.
The chiffon fluttered gently with the wind, accompanied by Mengmeng’s long hair.
At this moment, she was the most eye-catching and beautiful.
“Our daughter has grown up.”
Zi Yan pursed her red lips slightly and said with a smile, “She can be independent and challenge powerful people in the sect, and she is so beautiful.”
“Haha, she’s our daughter after all.” Zhang Han laughed, held Zi Yan’s hand, and whispered in her ear, “We’re not ordinary people. When you and Mengmeng stand together now, you do look like sisters. You look like you are only in your twenties, young, beautiful, and s.e.xy.”
“Hey!”
Zi Yan rolled her eyes at him grumpily.
When the two of them spoke, they naturally set a sound-proof cover.
The two people who were fighting on the peak, especially Heavenly Hound, were ready to take a minute or two to rest.
This caused the originally quiet scene to gradually be filled with discussions and exclaims of admiration.
Yun Han, the No. 1 Expert on the north coast, sighed with several people beside him.
“At first, I thought Heavenly Hound’s success rate was more than 70%, but now it seems that it’s hard to say who will win.”
“What? Senior Brother Yun, do you also think Zhang Yumeng can win?”
“Not necessarily.” Yun Han shook his head slightly and said, “They’re betting on millions of crystal stones and five kinds of sixth-tier spirit treasures. Seeing Zhang Yumeng’s sword, Heavenly Hound must be tempted. With his character, he must be serious when he attacks again. Victory or defeat, the answer is about to be revealed.”
As expected-
As soon as Yun Han finished speaking, Heavenly Hound said, “Junior Sister Zhang, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. It seems that I have to use some of my trump cards to defeat you.”
“Haha, I’ll be waiting,” Mengmeng said indifferently.
“Don’t be careless,” Heavenly Hound reminded her, “I’m omnipotent. Once I use my trump cards, the consequences will be unimaginable. Why don’t you take out a few Defense Treasures first to avoid getting hurt?”
He wanted to pressure the other party unknowingly.
Heavenly Hound was also quite smart.
Many of the spectators below grew cautious and even nervous.
“All right.”
Mengmeng looked helpless and ran her power a bit.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Dozens of layers of light covered her entirely.
Heavenly Hound was dumbfounded.
His eyes turned even redder, and he was even a little confused. “I didn’t ask you to take out so many Defense Treasures, did I?”
“So I don’t need them now?”
Mengmeng chuckled and put away all the Defense Treasures.
“Well…”
Heavenly Hound said with a little hesitation, “Well, the winner will get five kinds of spirit treasures, and we’ll get to pick them, right?”
It seemed that he was completely coveting Mengmeng’s spirit treasures.
“Cut the c.r.a.p. We’ll talk about it after you win if you can.”
Mengmeng snorted softly.
“Okay. We’ll talk about it after I win.”
Heavenly Hound laughed out loud while the sword radiance suddenly appeared.
“This sword move is called Heavenly Immortal.
“This is one of my supernatural powers of swordsmans.h.i.+p.”
Clatter!
There was no gorgeous abnormal sign. Instead, it was a simple sword ray. It was three hundred meters long and formed in the sky. It was faintly cyan-colored as it slashed horizontally toward Mengmeng.
This sword strike put a lot of pressure on Mengmeng.
It could be said to be the strongest move Heavenly Hound had made since the battle began.
The simple sword ray seemed to have locked onto her.
Mengmeng felt that there was nowhere to hide, so she could only fight head-on.
In the distance, Tian Chen’s eyes gradually froze. He was quite vigilant, for fear that Mengmeng would get hurt. When Mengmeng couldn’t resist, he would immediately save her.
However, he was overthinking it.
“This strike is not easy to resist.” Yue Wuwei touched his beard and said, “This supernatural power is not weak.”
“It’s not bad.” Zhang Han also nodded. “If they fight with sword moves, my daughter will suffer a little.”
Mengmeng knew a lot of occult arts of various types, and she had not learned a lot of them yet. For the time being, she had not gotten her own supernatural power with comprehension.
But there were also benefits. The more she knew, the stronger her supernatural power would be in the future.
“Four-sided Sword!”
Mengmeng also grew serious.
They were battling with sword occult arts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was the first time that her move had been crushed by her opponent.
Clack!
The sword Qi of the Four-sided Sword was cut off.
Mengmeng launched another five occult arts of the Tao of the Sword.
Unexpectedly, she still failed to block the attack of Heavenly Hound’s sword light.
At this time, the sword light was only 50 meters away from Mengmeng.
Dealing with such a situation, Mengmeng didn’t panic. On the contrary, she became calmer.
Her train of thought was quick.
It was a very short distance. If she couldn’t get rid of the sword light, then she would just dodge.
“Shadow Duplication.”
Clatter!
As soon as the 49 figures appeared, Mengmeng’s real body instantly flew hundreds of meters to the side.
“Explode!”
Heavenly Hound saw that Mengmeng wanted to escape.
He burst out the sword Qi of the Heavenly Immortal.
Rumble!
A huge round whirlwind surrounded Mengmeng.
Heavenly Hound wanted to trap Mengmeng and force her to admit defeat.
“She’s losing it!”
The No. 1 Expert on the north coast, Yun Han, let out a soft sigh. “He defeated me with this move back then.”
“What? Senior Brother Yun, have you fought with Heavenly Hound before?”
“Yes. In a secret realm, I failed to defend against this move,” Yun Han said generously. “Heavenly Hound is very powerful.”
“So, Zhang Yumeng will lose after all. It’s a pity that she has so many occult arts, but she still can’t defeat Heavenly Hound.”
“She knows a lot, but she hasn’t mastered any of her moves. Heavenly Hound is a typical example of someone proficient in a few methods. Zhang Yumeng has many moves, but she doesn’t have his foundation.” Someone commented.
Yue Wuwei’s comment was, “Mengmeng has cultivated for several years. The time is too short, so her cultivation can’t make up for the gap in their realms.”
“Who said she will lose?” Zhang Han asked in confusion.
“Ahem, I was just kidding. I didn’t say that she will lose.” Yue Wuwei stroked his beard.
At this time, Zhang Han smiled confidently.
Heavenly Hound was indeed a powerful opponent. After this battle, Mengmeng would also get to know some of her shortcomings, which would be helpful for her growth in the future.
Zhang Han was happy to see such a thing.
“She’s losing.”
“Zhang Yumeng is losing.”
“As expected of the No. 1 Expert on the south coast. Senior Brother Heavenly Hound is still too powerful.”
“When he gets serious, his strength becomes extremely terrifying.”
Thousands of people were talking about it.
Even Heavenly Hound felt that he had won.
He looked at the storm zone and said in a clear voice, “Junior Sister Zhang, hurry up and admit defeat. I’ll take back my move so that you won’t be frightened.”
Just when everyone thought that Mengmeng had lost, Her voice came from within the storm zone.
“You want to defeat me with such a minor move?”
Clatter!
All of a sudden, in the light cyan storm, a wisp of white light penetrated the zone. It was as if there was a bright light flas.h.i.+ng inside.
“What’s that?”
“This, this battle hasn’t ended? And the outcome hasn’t been decided yet?”
The second ray of white light pierced through the storm.
Then the third one…
Many rays of white light seemed to be squeezing the storm zone.
Heavenly Hound’s face changed slightly, and he kept increasing his control over the storm zone.
He tried his best to suppress the white light.
Five seconds had pa.s.sed.
Clatter!
Heavenly Hound’s heart skipped a beat.
“s.h.i.+t!”
He knew that the storm zone was about to be breached.
Boom!
A dull sound rang out.
The storm zone was completely destroyed.
When everyone saw the scene inside clearly, they were all stunned.
“What…”
In the distance, Tian Chen’s pupils shrank. “This aura. Oh my G.o.d!”
It was the Elemental Source.
He found it extraordinary, but he didn’t know what exactly it was.
Clatter!
White flames were burning.
They devoured the entire storm zone.
The towering trees at the foot of the mountain were frozen because of the cold.
The nine rivers on the Nine Rivers Peak froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the temperature of the surroundings dropped sharply, making people feel cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
“Why is it so cold while there are flames all over the sky?”
In the endless white flames, Mengmeng’s figure was erratic, and her red eyes were s.h.i.+ning with two cl.u.s.ters of flames.
The Dark Cold Fire reappeared while Mengmeng was at the G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage.
This kind of Alien Fire had even been cultivated several times by Zhang Han and its essence had been improved. It had been purified, improved, and nourished by the Heavenly Pearl for several years before it reappeared.
“What kind of supernatural power is this?”
Heavenly Hound was astounded.
He thought to himself. “c.r.a.p. I won’t lose, will I?”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The flames gradually receded until they disappeared.
But wisps of flames were rotating on Mengmeng’s fingertips. There was a mysterious smile on her face.
“I’ve been playing with fire since I was young.”
Swoos.h.!.+
She used the Fireball Skill.
The huge white fireball carried with it an icy chill as it attacked.
“Demonic Shadow Sword!
“Tiger Eye Sword!”
“…”
Heavenly Hound struck out all kinds of sword moves again.
He used six occult arts to put out the fireball.
“What kind of fire is this?” Heavenly Hound asked in shock.
Mengmeng did not answer.
Tian Chen and some of the senior elders present thought, “Alien Fire. This is Alien Fire!
“It is really unexpected that she even possesses the rare Alien Fire.”
On the battlefield, Heavenly Hound said in a serious tone, “I didn’t expect you to have such a trump card in addition to so many powerful skills. It seems that it’s time for me to show my real strength.”
Although Heavenly Hound was powerful, few people knew that he was also a Body Cultivator.
And now, he was ready to use some means of Body Cultivation to defeat his opponent.
However, something unexpected happened.
“Fireball Skill.
“Fireball Skill.
“Fireball Skill.”
“…”
One after another, white fireb.a.l.l.s were thrown over.
“Holy s.h.i.+t!”
Heavenly Hound was immediately under great attack.
Even though he was still an individual cultivator and had a lot of trump cards, he couldn’t stand such a crazy bombardment.
The sparring was not a life-and-death battle.
So the compet.i.tors wouldn’t use their real trump cards.
But Heavenly Hound knew very well that the other party might have other tricks up her sleeve.
They would see which one of them would win with the moves they displayed.
It was clear that there was nothing Heavenly Hound could do now.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bombardment went on.
Seeing this, the people around were quite dumbfounded.
“Why do I feel that Zhang Yumeng is crus.h.i.+ng Heavenly Hound violently?”
“He’s doomed. I feel like the No. 1 Expert on the south coast is about to be replaced.”
“…”
“You can fight back.” Seeing that Heavenly Hound had been defending, Mengmeng couldn’t help but urge him.
She still had 20% of her spiritual force left. If she couldn’t win after she used up her strength, she would lose.
Mengmeng’s Dark Cold Fire was one of her strongest skills. She still had a few moves to make with the Dark Cold Fire. If it didn’t work, then she would just drop it. She just didn’t have time to use them.
“Stop!”
Heavenly Hound exclaimed, “Junior Sister Zhang, stop now.”
“Hmm?”
Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and stopped casting the Fireball Skill.
Under everyone’s gaze, Heavenly Hound put his hands behind his back. His face was calm and detached.
“There’s no need to continue. You’ve already proven your strength. I do not wish to injure you as my fellow disciple. I admit defeat in this battle.”
“No, no, we can continue to fight. You don’t need to be afraid of hurting me.” Mengmeng waved her hand repeatedly.
“Ahem, I won’t fight anymore.”
Heavenly Hound looked around and said in a loud and clear voice, “I’m very gratified to see a talent like Zhang Yumeng in our sect.”
Tian Chen was speechless.
“This fellow is putting on airs again?”
Heavenly Hound was the only disciple in the entire Sword Sect who could put on the airs and act like a Sect Leader.
Mengmeng didn’t know what to say.
“He’s such an a.s.shole.”
“A real man should keep his word. I’ll ask someone to send five kinds of sixth-tier spirit treasures to the Swordbamboo Peak the next day.”
Heavenly Hound said lightly, “As new disciples, you need to learn from Protector Zhang Yumeng, who is your role model. It is like sailing against the current while taking cultivation. If you don’t make progress, you will retreat step by step. Learning from others is what the sect advocated.”
He looked serious, but in his heart, he thought. “Junior Sister Zhang, I’m praising you like this. You can’t oppose it, can you?”
However, Mengmeng’s answer surprised him.
“Senior Brother Heavenly Hound, you’re too courteous. I’m just a little bit stronger than you. Your strength is still very formidable.” Mengmeng also put her hands behind her back and said seriously, “But unfortunately, you’ve mastered too few occult arts. As the saying goes, live and learn. You can’t stop learning. I think some of the senior disciples in the sect seem to be a little relaxed, and they can’t continue like this.”
The corner of Heavenly Hound’s mouth trembled, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said, “You’re right, Junior Sister Zhang. We should cultivate more occult arts and then choose one that suits us so that we can comprehend our supernatural powers. It’s the same for me. In the future, I’ll often learn from you about the occult arts.”
Mengmeng was speechless.
“I guess he’s not dumb.”
“Well, since the battle is over, let’s disperse.” Heavenly Hound looked at Mengmeng out of the corner of his eye and found that she was looking at the crystal stones on the top of the mountain. He gasped and felt a little distressed, but he still said, “I should share these crystal stones with you because, after all, it’s a battle between you and me.”
Mengmeng rolled her eyes and said, “Haha, do you think I would be short of crystal stones?”
Hearing this, Heavenly Hound felt delighted and much better. He laughed and said, “I can’t thank you enough, Junior Sister Zhang. You’re the winner. It’s natural for you to have all these crystal stones. But as long as you don’t lack them, I’ll…”
“Well, I can’t have enough of crystal stones either.”
Mengmeng suddenly said, “Alas, Senior Brother Heavenly Hound, thank you for your offer. Since you’ve already said it, I can’t refuse. I’ll accept these crystal stones. Where are the disciples of the Swordbamboo Peak?”
“Here!”
Many people stood out from several places.
“Put away these crystals and send them to my courtyard on the Swordbamboo Peak.”
“Yes, Protector!”
These disciples were very excited. They felt honored to be able to work for Zhang Yumeng.
Swoos.h.!.+
Heavenly Hound’s face changed.
His eyes were slightly red.
“Ahhhh!”
He roared in his heart.
“She’s really taking them!
“Good heavens!
“Such a powerful figure like her is still taking these millions of crystal stones. d.a.m.n it…”
He was extremely mad, but he couldn’t vent his anger. He merely breathed a little faster.
Seeing this, Mengmeng smiled even more sweetly.
“Senior Brother Heavenly Hound, did you say that the winner gets to choose the sixth-tier spirit treasures?”
“I…”
Heavenly Hound shook his dizzy head, took a deep breath to ease his mood, and said in a heavy voice, “I did.”
“Alright, I’ll go to you to pick the treasures another day.”
Heavenly Hound said with a sullen face, “Okay!”
With so many people watching, he couldn’t break his promise.
The most important thing was that he couldn’t go back on his word. If it were someone else, he would do it, but Zhang Yumeng’s father wanted to beat him up.
Thinking of that irresistible force, Heavenly Hound felt his heart bleed.
However, he suddenly recalled something.
“Hahaha, I heard that you also have a peerless divine dog.”
Heavenly Hound thought to himself. “I lost this battle. I got defeated, but my dog can definitely win against hers.”
“That’s a deal. We’ll have another battle when I come back after I go out for training.”
Mengmeng agreed with a smile.
Seeing this, Yue Wuwei stroked his beard.
“What a cunning fox.”
