Chapter 1145: Intense Fight Against Jin Meng
"Old lady, what do you think about this young man?" asked Jin Junyi.
"Blessed by the heavens with boundless talent," said the old lady.
"Is he really that amazing?" replied Jin Junyi in astonishment.
"I don"t know how he trains, but he gives me a feeling that he is no weaker than a peak Soul Foundation Realm expert. He is only at the second stage. If he grows by two or three stages, he can probably slaughter Saints," said the old lady.
"It"s not enough that Xiang Yangzhan is strong, but he has a freakish son as well? How enviable," said Jin Junyi with a sigh.
"We can"t allow this young man to live," said the old lady. A sinister gleam was in her eyes.
At that moment, Jin Meng raised his golden fist and threw it at Xiang Shaoyun"s leg, which was stomping down toward him. The fist energy surged up like an overbearing rainbow. The fist and the leg connected, creating a ma.s.sive explosion that formed a golden mushroom cloud.
Xiang Shaoyun did not seem affected by the golden fist. As though he had transformed into a purple dragon, he drifted in a different direction as he took his fourth and fifth steps. Starfall lightning bolts rained down from the sky and merged with his own lightning energy, becoming a chaotic sea of lightning.
Against a super expert like Jin Meng, Xiang Shaoyun had to face his opponent head on and overwhelm them in terms of aura before obtaining victory through battle.
Jin Meng raised his head, his expression turning solemn. He gathered all his strength into his fist and threw out another overbearing punch.
The golden fist manifested a ma.s.sive fist energy that crashed into the purple lightning with an incredibly penetrating gold energy. The scene of the collision was incredibly spectacular. Jin Meng was displaying a strength to contend against the heavens, proving that his reputation was not undeserved.
However, Xiang Shaoyun"s attack was actually a feint. When Jin Meng counterattacked, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and dove down from another direction. Numerous Lightning Bolt Fists rained down.
Jin Meng had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun could move so fast. Fortunately, his senses were incredibly sharp, and he immediately detected what Xiang Shaoyun was doing.
Jin Meng struck the incoming Xiang Shaoyun with his elbow with the might of a steel beast, blocking all the incoming punches. At the same time, a golden defensive barrier wrapped around his body, defending him from the crackling electricity all around him.
Naturally, Jin Meng wasn"t going to stay only on the defensive. He adjusted his position and turned into a madly attacking wild beast as he unleashed a torrent of golden punches at Xiang Shaoyun, flooding his surroundings with a golden radiance.
As a peak Sovereign, Jin Meng had a combat strength that couldn"t be underestimated. Although Xiang Shaoyun could contend against peak Sovereigns after reaching the second stage, he still had a hard time dealing with Jin Meng"s torrential attacks when using only one star.
Before long, Jin Meng"s attacks forced Xiang Shaoyun into repeated retreats. The people from the Dragon Society started laughing, while the Ziling Sect people had bitter expressions. The contrast between the two parties was clear.
The more Jin Meng fought, the more valiant he seemed. He roared, "What other trump cards do you have? Show it all, or you"ll die now."
Xiang Shaoyun had difficulty facing the overbearing punches and was forced to do something else.
"Don"t worry. You"ll get to see my trump cards," said Xiang Shaoyun as he unleashed the powers of wind and lightning.
Wind and Lightning!
Two different energies worked together to form a natural disaster. The wind transformed into a dragon, and the lightning transformed into a tiger. The two beasts wreaked destruction everywhere.
The sudden change caused Jin Meng to blank out slightly. He had thought that Xiang Shaoyun was only a lightning cultivator. The sudden addition of a different power had actually granted Xiang Shaoyun"s attacks a might comparable to his own.
Jin Meng was forced to take the battle even more seriously. An intense battle unfolded between him and Xiang Shaoyun. Explosions rumbled on and on, causing their surroundings to shake as their stray attacks flew everywhere, blasting numerous craters into the ground.
Long Yugang"s mouth was opened wide in astonishment when he saw that Xiang Shaoyun was fighting evenly with Jin Meng. He had thought that he could easily crush Xiang Shaoyun with his cultivation level of third-stage Soul Foundation Realm. After all, he was also someone who could punch above his cla.s.s. Now that he saw Xiang Shaoyun displaying a strength matching a peak Sovereign"s, he found it hard to accept.
Has he been hiding his strength all this while? thought Long Yugang.
Among the Dragon Society"s 108 generals, the young man who knew Xiang Shaoyun was also incomparably shocked.
Is this really him? How can he be so excessively strong? the young man gasped inwardly.
The battle became more and more intense as Xiang Shaoyun started showcasing his self-created dual-star techniques, putting Jin Meng in a terrible position.
Golden fury!
Flamewater discordance!
He continuously changed his energies, unleas.h.i.+ng different combination attacks that could always catch his opponent unaware. Jin Meng knew that he couldn"t look down on Xiang Shaoyun, so he used all his strength and swung his golden halberd.
A scaled beast manifested with a ferocious aura and blasted Xiang Shaoyun away. It was an incredibly powerful attack. If it wasn"t for the fact that Xiang Shaoyun had long tempered his body to the limits, it would have been enough to injure him.
Jin Meng wasted no time and sent his nine-layered soul foundation crus.h.i.+ng down on Xiang Shaoyun. His golden halberd followed closely behind his soul foundation, manifesting into numerous halberds that sealed their surroundings.
Xiang Shaoyun could sense that Jin Meng"s soul foundation had reached a pseudo-Saint level of strength. It was no wonder that he had such an astonis.h.i.+ng combat prowess. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun"s soul was also at a pseudo-Saint level. Coupled with Jin Meng"s ability to punch above his cla.s.s, Jin Meng"s soul foundation oppression was ineffective against him.
However, the golden halberd was incredibly destructive. If the halberd struck him, Xiang Shaoyun would suffer heavy injuries.
Xiang Shaoyun"s speed was unparalleled, but even he would have a hard time dodging all the halberds. He thus used his six layers of Goldscales to defend. However, wounds were still left on his body, causing his blood to flow.
The pain was like a provocation that caused him to roar furiously, "So what if you"re a peak Sovereign? I can kill you like I kill a chicken!"
The Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand as he started swinging it madly, unleas.h.i.+ng terrifying lightning energy in all directions. Starfall lightning bolts also rained down from the sky, unleas.h.i.+ng a might that was far higher than when he was punching with his fists.
Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, fourth stance, Complete Destruction!
A seething killing intent surged out like a roaring G.o.d of lightning, threatening to destroy and end all existence. Jin Meng raised his halberd and unleashed his soul foundation, transforming into a gold-clad war G.o.d that could slaughter everything that stood in his path.
The two attacks collided, creating a chaotic explosion of saber, lightning, halberd, and golden scales. The battle was so intense that even a phenomenon started appearing in the sky. All the observers were dumbstruck. No word could begin to describe just how intense this fight was.
