Chapter 729: The Start of the Battle
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“It’s worth it! Zhou Bao’s promise makes this trip worth it. When my father or Fifth Manor, or even Tian Long Taoism has something to communicate to him in the future, I’ll volunteer to take the task. It’s very pleasant to profit from such nouveau riche as Zhou Bao.” Ma Linglong was secretly planning for the future.
Zhou Bao certainly did not know her plans. He was completely relieved to have left her with his Three Realms Division. Her abilities were too strange and dangerous. He did not want to deal with her if it was not necessary.
However, he did not go far, because he had to come back and help Qing Feng against his enemy in 10 days.
The ability to fight Fifth Manor was not common. Qing Feng had told him that the man did not know about Zhen Yuanzi and that the person was one of the man’s incarnations, but the incarnation’s cultivation was at the peak of the Immortal. It clearly indicated that the man was probably an Earthly Immortal!
An Earthly Immortal shared the same high status as a Fate Creator and was extremely powerful. By no means could Zhou Bao, who had just gathered the Three Flowers above the Head, compare.
Fifth Manor was in the Heaven Realm World, but Zhou Bao knew that the battle would not take place nearby. The Heaven Realm World simply could not afford a battle of two pract.i.tioners at the Immortal level. If they fought here, the Heaven Realm World would be destroyed even without the Alien Realms’ invasion.
“I have to find a suitable battlefield!”
Knowing that the battle would definitely happen in the hollow, the battlefield location became incredibly important. Of the three elements of favorable climate, topographical advantages and support of the people, only climate and topography were important considerations in a battle between two.
Zhou Bao needed to find a battlefield in his favor.
“Qing Feng said the incarnation is a silver wolf. The wolf is fierce and moves quickly. He might also have powerful Dharma powers. In that case, he will be very good at both close and distant combat. In addition, his combat capability is at the peak of Immortal. To defeat him, I must first overcome his merits. d.a.m.ned Qing Feng, how could he not know more about his enemy’s incarnation!”
If you knew the enemy and you knew yourself, you could fight a hundred battles and win them all. Zhou Bao had asked Qing Feng about this opponent in detail. But to his great dismay, Qing Feng had not known the strength of the silver wolf. In the past a different incarnation had battled with him, and he had never dealt with this one. But he had seen the wolf move rapidly, and his attack was violent. Most importantly, the wolf had mighty Dharma powers and had mastered many special techniques and secret skills.
Since he had only been in contact with the silver wolf once, his intelligence was superficial. He had no idea what the wolf’s strongest card was.
Was there anything worse than that?
He didn’t know what the enemy’s card was! What a careless man!
However, Zhou Bao could not complain in front of the d.a.m.ned Qing Feng. After all, he had benefited a lot from him.
“Quick, sharp, fierce, these are the characteristics of the wolf. It’s similar to Little Du. However, Little Du had only achieved the strength of the Individual Immortal, not even close to this wolf. Luckily, I knew how Little Du fights, so he couldn’t threaten me, but if his combat capability was the same as mine, it’s not certain. Although I mastered the Three Realms Division, it may not be able to fool an Immortal’s eyes. And my speed—”
Zhou Bao felt depressed at the thought of his speed. Ever since he had obtained the Three Realms Division, he had been ignoring his body movement and speed. He had only practiced his reaction to the point where he could run the Three Realms Division. Now a well-matched opponent was reminding him of his shortcoming.
“It’s unrealistic to raise my speed to a high level within 10 days, so I’ll have to limit his speed. Now, should I plan for close combat, or attack and defend him with my fairy weapons and Dharma powers? Close combat has its advantages, but I don’t really have any experience fighting with an opponent at the peak of Immortal who is good at close combat, or who is at the same state. If I attack and defend him with my fairy weapons and Dharma powers, maybe I can buy some time and gain some information about him. Well, that’s settled!” Zhou Bao rubbed his chin and determined his strategy.
The battle broke out earlier and harder than he expected.
When Zhou Bao arrived at Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain 10 days later, the whole mountain was being suppressed by a powerful force.
The force was tremendous and overbearing. And Zhou Bao felt the familiar breath of a Primordial Fierce Beast. However, it was not as pure as the breath of Zhou Bao’s Zhuyan. It seemed to be mixed with other things, which made him worry he was in trouble.
But this was not the time to inquire. Even the clouds above Longevity Mountain were affected, numerous dark clouds converging on the mountain from all directions. Black-purple thunderbolts struck Fifth Manor like giant ferocious snakes.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble…
Thunderbolts fell from the sky and hit Longevity Mountain. It looked similar to what Zhou Bao had encountered in the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode, but the thunderbolts here were much less powerful. Clearly, the attacker did not think that the thunderbolts would cause much trouble for Longevity Mountain.
“Qing Feng, Ming Yue, you two cowards come out!” An almighty roar came from the sky, causing gusts of wind. “Don’t think you can hide inside Fifth Manor. I tell you, if you don’t come out, I’ll destroy the whole Heaven Realm World, and leave your d.a.m.ned Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain without a foothold. Get out, get out!”
Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows. He was furious. The guy was just too aggressive. He had just threatened to destroy the Heaven Realm World. How defiant he was!
Although he was now the Fate Creator of the Azure Big World, he had been born in the Heaven Realm World and spent most of his life here. Besides, he had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Fate Creator of the Heaven Realm World. This guy’s swagger gave Zhou Bao an impulse to teach him a lesson. It was his goal today. Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes.
“Qing Feng, Ming Yue, get out!” Just as Zhou Bao was getting into a bad mood, another roar came from the sky.
“d.a.m.n it, would you stop shouting?” Zhou Bao made a sharp step forward to the stone tablet at the foot of Longevity Mountain. He punched at the strange power that sealed Longevity Mountain.
Bang!!
There was a loud crash. The invisible barrier rolled up billows, and a series of gray waves, visible to the naked eye, spread out from the spot where Zhou Bao’s fist had struck. After a few breaths of time, the barrier, which was made up entirely of the Fierce Beast’s spirit, had disappeared.
With the disappearance of the barrier, the clouds in the sky stopped gathering. Peace was restored between heaven and earth. Apparently, the opponent had not expected a man to come out of the blue and strike such a fierce blow.
The silence lasted for several breaths.
“Huh?”
Zhou Bao was on alert. As he had expected, a subtle wave of Dharma powers suddenly appeared nearby. Aware of the danger, he disappeared in a flash. Almost at the same time, the s.p.a.ce where he had been was torn open. It looked as if it had been cut by a sharp edge, and in the place where he had been standing there were three giant hundred feet long cracks.
“What a powerful movement! It’s silent but deadly!” Looking at the effect of this attack, Zhou Bao heightened his vigilance. “His attack was formidable and silent, as if he is using the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. Does he also know the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill?” Zhou Bao wondered.
“But if he had launched the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, I definitely would not have been able to avoid it. I would not have gotten away as easily as I did.”
“Eh? Again!” As he was pondering, there was another subtle rumble of Dharma power, and then a great pressure fell from above.
“Good!” Faced with an attack, Zhou Bao did not evade further. He raised his hand. His fingertips flashed golden lights as he pointed to the top of his head. A huge golden seal appeared out of thin air and smashed into the wave of Dharma powers.
It was his Flipping Sky Seal!!!
Zhou Bao had launched the Flipping Sky Seal.
An invisible pressure immediately permeated all around, just as imposing as the pressure his opponent had just exerted onto Longevity Mountain.
Boom!!!
When the seal and the unknown wave of Dharma powers collided, there was a shockwave.
