Chapter 942: Yao Yu and Demonic Whisper
A serious look finally appeared in Yao Yu’s eyes. In terms of pure power, Mo Wen had already surpa.s.sed her. Also, his body gave off a sense of impeccability. Forget breaking through his defense – even sc.r.a.ping his skin would most likely prove rather difficult.
He had impeccable defenses and power. Even more frighteningly, Yao Yu did not know whether Mo Wen also had a deep level of achievement in terms of speed. If even his speed was impeccable, then it would be hard to have a hope of defeating him.
“The Celestial Body. With this body of mine, it seems as though I can punch a hole through the cosmos themselves.”
Mo Wen felt unlimited power in his body. It was like he could simply tear apart a mountain with a wave of his hand. The blood and Qi that were surging out from his body seemed capable of driving off the clouds. He clenched his fists tightly, ready to fight.
“Yao Yu, don’t try to lure me in – just do it.”
Mo Wen cried out. His silhouette was followed by a chain of afterimages as he furiously pounced towards Yao Yu. Everywhere he pa.s.sed, winds swept up, and the heavens and earth were transformed
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
He sent out three punches in quick succession. Each punch knocked Yao Yu back. Deep trenches split open, criss-crossing on the ground that was covered with snow and ice. Avalanches kept happening on the snowy mountains in the distance. Waves of snow surged forward. Mo Wen walked on the waves of snow, pressing Yao Yu harder and harder. In an instant, she had been knocked back more than a hundred miles.
“Presumptuous!”
Yao Yu’s face was flus.h.i.+ng. Mo Wen’s punches were seriously frightening. Her Qi and blood were unstable from the shockwaves, and her internal organs had nearly been injured. She was enraged to the point of being amused. Initially, she thought that this would be a very easy battle; but now, she was being pushed back to quite an extent. She had never imagined that she would encounter such a frightening youth in Hua Xia. She truly could not underestimate the heroes of the world.
“Miss Yao Yu, you always believed that your victory was a sure thing and did not hesitate to bet on my personal freedom. How can my current display match with your presumptuousness?” Mo Wen said plainly.
“You have, indeed, greatly exceeded my expectations. However, if you want to win against me – dream on.”
Yao Yu coldly snorted. She had never thought about losing. Even now, she had not so much as considered it. How could she, Yao Yu, possibly lose? Moreover, she had spoken in a certain manner beforehand. Even though, at the moment, they were no longer bound to their wager, she still could not lose; she could not afford to lose face to this person.
“Show me all you’ve got,” Mo Wen said with a plain smile.
“Mo Wen, you’ve pushed me back to this extent. You should be considered incredible. However, our backgrounds are also a part of our abilities. Don’t blame me for using artifacts to beat on you,” Yao Yu said plainly.
As she said this, the gown that appeared to be armor on her released a brilliant light. A frightening wave of darkness issued forth from the armor. It merged with Yao Yu’s dark demonic power, the two of them becoming one. It caused the strength of Yao Yu’s aura to instantly skyrocket once again. At the same time, beams of bright light coalesced and formed a semi-transparent shroud around Yao Yu.
Meanwhile, an ancient longsword slowly appeared from the dark shroud. This longsword was entirely jet-black. There was a carving of an angel on its hilt. However, this angel emanated a crimson light and was a little evil and eerie. Around the sword, Demonic Qi lingered like smoke. It had appeared just then, when it released waves of destructive power. The surrounding s.p.a.ce seemed to shatter under the cutting edge of the sword.
“A Fallen Angel Sword and the Devil King Armor.”
In the battle arena, Stunning Snow’s expression changed slightly. She recognized the two treasures that Yao Yu had. Fallen Angel Swords were ancient weapons that only the royals of the Fallen Angel clan could wield. Any one of them was quite miraculous and powerful. As for the Devil King Armor, it was even more incredible. Rumor had it that it contained the power of Satan, the Supreme Devil of h.e.l.l. Under the protection of Satan, it was very hard for anyone to have a hope of killing a person wearing the Devil King Armor. One could say that, in the Source World, Yao Yu wearing the Devil King Armor was essentially a being that could not be killed.
“How is it possible? How could she possess the Devil King Armor? Who is she?”
Stunning Snow’s eyes were filled with shock. Even in h.e.l.l, the Devil King Armor was rare. There were very few people who were awarded the Devil King Armor by Satan, the king of h.e.l.l. Even the royals of the Fallen Angel clan did not merit such an honor.
As the opposition to the Demon G.o.ds Alliance, the G.o.ds Alliance had been investigating Yao Yu. However, all they had found was that Yao Yu was from the Fallen Angel clan and her position was extraordinary. The G.o.ds Alliance did not have any records regarding the Devil King Armor.
To Stunning Snow’s surprise, Yao Yu had actually been forced to use the Devil King Armor because of a Hua Xia youth.
The audience in the battle arena was exceptionally lively. They had no idea what Fallen Angel Swords or Devil King Armor was. They didn’t know anything about the Celestial Body, either. However, they knew that the current battle before their eyes was beyond their imaginations. It was like mortals spectating a battle between G.o.ds. More than 99.9 percent of the people present had never witnessed such a scene before.
Mo Wen stared unblinking at the armor on Yao Yu. The fancy equipment gave him an uneasy feeling. A sense of fear welled up in his heart.
“Mo Wen, even if you lose this battle, you can be proud of yourself.”
Yao Yu took a long look at Mo Wen. Frivolousness and seduction left her face. Once Yao Yu became serious, she actually emanated a divine aura.
Even Mo Wen was doubtful as to whether he had seen something wrong or was hallucinating. Yao Yu, a succubus-like woman, actually had a holy side?
Mo Wen was the first person who had ever forced Yao Yu to use the Devil King Armor. In a sense, Mo Wen could, indeed, be proud of himself.
“You want to defeat me? Come.” Mo Wen laughed loudly. His voice traveled over a hundred kilometers, sounding bold and heroic. Right now, the outcome of the battle was no longer Mo Wen’s main focus. He only cared for a hearty fight.
“Alright! I will do it.”
Yao Yu was full of fighting intent, too. She crashed towards Mo Wen ferociously again. They fought head on, blasting each other with their full force. However, this time, Yao Yu had the absolute advantage. The strength of the Devil King Armor was quite bizarre. Not only did it double Yao Yu’s power, but it also greatly weakened that of Mo Wen. Before his punch could even reach Yao Yu, its power fell by half. With fifty percent of its force remaining, it was impossible for Mo Wen’s punch to break through Yao Yu’s defense.
Mo Wen’s advantage of having absolute strength was stripped away thanks to a suit of armor. To be able to accomplish such a miraculous feat, the armor was equivalent to at least a spiritual treasure.
Rumble!
Mo Wen was once again sent flying as far as a thousand meters by Yao Yu’s sword attack. Streaks of wounds that looked like cracks actually appeared on his brawny figure. The Fallen Angel Sword was quite sharp, seemingly able to cut through s.p.a.ce. Even Mo Wen’s Celestial Body found it hard to defend against those sword attacks.
Yao Yu was like an elegant general. She stepped in the air and fought her enemy with clean sword attacks. Her movements were smooth, and she was unbeatable.
“You are no match for me. Your struggle is merely the futile retaliation of a cornered beast,” Yao Yu said indifferently. She was arrogant, as though she was already victor.
“I have to say, your treasures are very powerful. However, a powerful treasure is not as good as a suitable treasure. With your ability, you probably can’t unleash even one percent of the power of the armor.”
Mo Wen said this plainly.
“Whatever techniques you have, use them all on me. Could it be that you plan to defeat me using an ordinary treasure? Stop dreaming,” Yao Yu said calmly. Indeed, she could not unleash even one percent of the might of the Devil King Armor and the Fallen Angel Sword. However, even then, the two items were already much stronger than ordinary treasures. If Mo Wen did not have treasures of a similar level, it was almost impossible for him to defeat her.
“Let’s see how strong Miss Yao Yu’s soul cultivation is.”
Mo Wen gave up on fighting Yao Yu head-on with physical strength. Just now, he had merely been testing the limits of the Celestial Body; hence, he fought with Yao Yu using punches. Yao Yu had treasures; so did he.
With a flick of his fingers, a purple light appeared in his hand. It was an intricate bell which was none other than the Cries of Hades Bell.
This item was a low-grade profound-level weapon. Even though its level was not high, it was a special profound-level weapon that could attack souls directly. Mo Wen had cultivated his Primordial Soul using the soul potion, so he could unleash close to a hundred percent of the power of the Cries of Hades Bell. Besides, Mo Wen’s current power source was the Yin and Yang Qi, which was comparable to spiritual power. So, he could activate profound-level weapons directly.
One could say that Mo Wen could use a profound-level weapon skillfully, just like an ordinary Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivator. He was not like the ancient martial arts pract.i.tioners who could only unleash part of the profound-level weapon’s power. Long before this, Mo Wen had completely refined the Cries of Hades Bell and kept it in his body to be further cultivated.
“A treasure that can attack the soul?” Yao Yu glanced at the Cries of Hades Bell and the corner of her mouth curled to reveal a playful smile. Her level of experience was unusual; naturally, she could tell the function of the Cries of Hades Bell at a glance.
“Wails and Howls of Ghosts and G.o.ds.”
The Cries of Hades Bell in Mo Wen’s hand lit up suddenly. The next moment, the sky turned dark, and a sinister wind howled. Countless ghostly shadows appeared in the sky, wailing and shrieking continuously. A shapeless shockwave crashed towards Yao Yu ferociously.
The Wails and Howls of Ghosts and G.o.ds was the Cries of Hades Bell’s strongest attack. Mo Wen had had to cultivate and master this attack completely before he could unleash it. With his soul in the Primordial Soul Realm, he could unleash this attack at its maximum capacity.
“Showing off in front of the expert!” Yao Yu smiled. Her cherry lips opened slightly as she nonchalantly uttered the word, “Freeze!”
The next moment, an astonis.h.i.+ng scene transpired. The soul wave that was blasting against Yao Yu suddenly stopped and froze in the air. Then, it dissipated slowly.
“You…” Mo Wen was shocked. Not only did Yao Yu blocked his Wails and Howls of Ghosts and G.o.ds, but she also blocked it with such an unbelievable method. The soul attack could not be blocked with common methods. Usually, one would need to defend against it using either one’s soul power, special secret techniques, or special treasures.
Yao Yu had actually uttered just a word and destroyed his Wails and Howls of Ghosts and G.o.ds. What was happening?
“Do you know why I am called Yao Yu? It is because, since birth, my words have contained a demonic aura. Hence I was named Yao Yu, the Demonic Whisper. I once commanded a man to die, and he died.”
Yao Yu said this calmly. When she spoke, an inexplicable, heretical aura flashed in her eyes.
“What is this?!” Mo Wen’s facial expression was ugly. Was there actually such a heretical thing in the world?
“Do you want to try it?” Yao Yu smiled bizarrely. So far, she had been using strength to battle against Mo Wen’s strength. It had been a battle between two forces of absolute strength. Of course, the might of a pract.i.tioner lay not only on their cultivation, but also their attainment of remarkable powers. All the remarkable powers mastered by Yao Yu had astonis.h.i.+ng power.
“Show me what you’ve got. I don’t believe in heresy,” Mo Wen replied coldly. Even though Yao Yu was very strong, she was not that much stronger than Mo Wen. Besides, she was not G.o.d; things wouldn’t just happen according to her command.
“Injury!” Yao Yu went straight to the point and uttered a word. The heretical glow in her eyes intensified.
