Chapter 818: A Fierce Fight Against an Earthly Immortal (II)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Tinkle!
The fresh tinkling sound took Emperor Hulong by surprise!
The instant Zhou Bao’s attack hit the s.p.a.ce between the eyebrows of Emperor Hulong, it turned into a strong and sharp Sword Qi, which stabbed strongly at its target. Colorful brilliance suddenly radiated from Emperor Hulong.
“Bang!”
The colorful brilliance blocked the Sword Qi, but Emperor Hulong’s expression altered drastically and he stumbled backwards helplessly. The colorful jade between his eyebrows was smashed into pieces by Zhou Bao’s attack.
By now, Zhou Bao had already slipped into the s.p.a.ce where Emperor Hulong was, like a fish swimming in water. The purple bamboo stick in his hand did not stop its attacks. It squirted a jet of black and red Sword Qi, which hurtled towards Emperor Hulong.
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!
“Whoos.h.!.+”
When Emperor Hulong saw Zhou Bao charging at him, he forced himself to concentrate and his angry face turned very grim. Anyway, he was an Earthly Immortal and a prestigious Earthly Immortal at that. Although he had somehow misjudged Zhou Bao’s strength, now that Zhou Bao was fighting back relentlessly, he had no choice but to regard Zhou Bao as a serious enemy and continue to fight.
“Great timing!” Seeing the Sword Qi rus.h.i.+ng at him, Emperor Hulong did not panic. Being an Earthly Immortal, he naturally could find something to counterattack. He raised his right hand and a small round-shaped, ancient-looking mirror appeared on his palm and faced the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi.
The Sword Blade Storm!
Although Zhou Bao did not know what the small mirror was, he was prepared for this. In a fraction of a second, the supple Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi transformed into innumerable tiny swords. Just before they were about to collide with the mirror, they parted ways and charged at Emperor Hulong from both sides.
“Humph!” Facing such a sudden change, Emperor Hulong did not even blink his eyes. On the road to becoming an Earthly Immortal, he had endured numerous fights and survived numerous plights. Now, this little trick was not worth his attention. The ancient-looking mirror in his hand suddenly emitted a white light which engulfed him in its blazing radiance.
“Something went wrong!” Zhou Bao thought, his heart thumping. Sure enough, when the Sword Blade Storm hit the white light, no collision occurred. Instead, the Sword Blade Storm winced, and then, steered back and soared towards Zhou Bao.
“I know it’s a trick!” At this point, Zhou Bao felt that he had lost control over the Sword Qi of his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. The white light had mysterious powers and it severed the connection between himself and the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi. As the Sword Blade Storm fired back, Emperor Hulong s.h.i.+fted his mirror to another direction and a jet of light shot straight at Zhou Bao.
“Good for me!” Facing both the Sword Blade Storm and light, Zhou Bao did not avoid them at all. He wielded the purple bamboo stick and swiveled it in different directions from time to time and the Sword Blade Storm was easily dismissed. Meanwhile, the light from the mirror had also dispersed. But due to its great power, Zhou Bao staggered backwards under the forceful impact.
“You do know some tricks. However, it’s far from enough to beat me!” Seeing how easily Zhou Bao fended off his attacks, Emperor Hulong was a bit surprised. But that was not just a fluke, which showed that he needed to take this guy seriously.
Once he got serious, the opponent would no longer have any chance to s.n.a.t.c.h a victory.
This time, Emperor Hulong really got down to business. He stretched his fingers and appeared to be pressing down hard on Zhou Bao.
“Good!”
Zhou Bao bellowed and once again held up his purple bamboo stick and thrust it at his hand.
“Boom!”
Before Emperor Hulong’s right hand landed upon him, a sense of numbness struck Zhou Bao and he nearly lost his grip on his purple bamboo stick, which seemed about to fly out of his hand. He felt like he had collided with a mountain with an ordinary body and fell back in horror.
“Let go!” When Emperor Hulong saw that Zhou Bao was still holding on to the purple bamboo stick after taking this blow, he was quite taken aback. But soon, he sped up the pressure of his palm and let out a howl, aiming to force Zhou Bao to let go of his hold. This purple bamboo stick really impressed him. It had easily broken his Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle, so it must not be inferior to the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle.
After all, he needed something to replace the broken Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle.
When he heard the howl, Zhou Bao also shouted out his curses. His lean body suddenly grew tall and muscular; the Mysterious Icy Divine Light inside him rapidly poured into the purple bamboo stick, which stabbed at Emperor Hulong’s palm.
“Boom!”
Storms stirred up and the s.p.a.ce fell apart!
Zhou Bao and Emperor Hulong both stepped backwards at the same time. Of course, it was Zhou Bao who suffered more harm. Under the enormous power of Emperor Hulong, dozens of Zhou Bao’s bones were broken and his tendons and meridians were also badly injured. After being thrown thousands of miles away, he finally managed to stabilize his body. Then, he launched the Seven Wonderful Techniques and healed all his injuries. Very soon, he regained his vigor.
Emperor Hulong only took three steps backwards, but his expression was dark—his palm was p.r.i.c.kling. The stab really hurt him.
Emperor Hulong, who had not been wounded for thousands of years, experienced the feeling of pain for the first time.
“Brilliant, brilliant move!”
At this moment, even Emperor Hulong himself could not help but give his praises. That a young man who had just gathered the Five Qis in the Chest and undergone the Earthly Immortal Tribulation could possess such a combat capability and injure an Earthly Immortal emperor. This overturned his previous a.s.sumption.
“If this kind of guy becomes a real Earthly Immortal, then, how could we still have a foothold in the Void Universe?”
Even those great emperors of the Ancient Celestial Court with high rankings did not have such outstanding strength when they were still Human Immortals, did they?”
Realizing this, Emperor Hulong’s eyes grew ferocious as a wolf’s. A chilling killing intent instantly spread all over the s.p.a.ce.
“This killing intent is very dense! Seems that today we won’t settle this until one of us murders the other!” Zhou Bao sneered and hoisted the purple bamboo stick. Almost simultaneously, his body glowed with a red-hot intensity and two figures, one green and one red jumped out and stood on either side of Zhou Bao. They were his Third and Fourth Primordial Spirits.
“The way of primordial spirit separation?” At the sight of the young men in green and in red, Emperor Hulong’s eyes brightened. “Good, very good. Never thought you also accomplished the practice of two primordial spirits, which is only one step away from mastering the legendary Primordial Spirits of Three Separations! Good, as long as I take you down, the way of primordial spirit separation will be mine!”
Overjoyed, Emperor Hulong also released a jet of light from his body and a black-clothed man emerged next to him.
It was his Second Primordial Spirit!
Emperor Hulong also knew about the way of primordial spirit separation, but he had not learned the fancy art of Primordial Spirits of Three Separations. He only achieved his Second Primordial Spirit, but this was scary enough. Since he was an Earthly Immortal, now with his Second Primordial Spirit, his combat capability was doubled. Even though Zhou Bao was amazingly powerful and could duel with an Earthly Immortal as a Human Immortal, would he able to fight against two Earthly Immortals at the same time?
If it was in the past, Zhou Bao certainly could not do that. But now…
Zhou Bao grinned, “You two, go get rid of his Second Primordial Spirit; I’ll handle him myself!”
The Primordial Poison Spirit and the Primordial Sword Spirit did not reply but both rushed towards Emperor Hulong’s black-robed primordial spirit as Zhou Bao ordered.
“Well, Emperor Hulong, the warmup is over. Now, let’s battle seriously!”
Warm up!
The previous fierce fight was just a warmup! When these two were dueling earlier, they had already shattered numerous s.p.a.cetimes and attracted a lot of attention. Of course, those who were qualified to watch this battle were all emperors at the level of Earthly Immortal. Those pract.i.tioners with lower rankings, even if they were Divine Immortals, had no way to observe the details of their battle.
Right now, both of them sensed over thirty jets of divine thoughts sweeping across the s.p.a.cetime, which took Zhou Bao by surprise.
The Central Star Area was truly a prosperous area. A simple fight here could draw the attention of so many Earthly Immortals, while in Heaven Realm World with only a handful of Human Immortals and few Earthly Immortals, there was no way to detect the many divine thoughts of Earthly Immortals.
“You, a little Human Immortal, can never defeat me!” When he heard Zhou Bao’s words, Emperor Hulong burst out laughing. Deep down, Emperor Hulong was a very combative man. Now, suddenly b.u.mping into a difficult opponent, his long-lost l.u.s.t for violence was awakened. As he reached out, a golden spear materialized in his hand.
This spear was about 30 feet long and made of an unknown golden metal. Several ancient patterns were inscribed on it. Apart from these, there were no other decorations at all.
“Brat, now that you want to fight, I’ll fight seriously! Let’s me see how many moves you can take!” Emperor Hulong snarled. He heaved the spear in mid-air and s.p.a.ce-time storms suddenly surged, accompanied by continuous wind and thunder. “Watch out for my Wind and Thunder of Six Directions!”
In an instant, the entire s.p.a.cetime was carried into s.p.a.ce Storms. The golden spear hid in the storms for a moment, and then, being surrounded by wild wind and thunder, turned into a golden dragon, which lunged at Zhou Bao.
“Dragon, it’s a dragon!” When he saw the golden dragon transformed from the spear, a dismissive smile flitted through Zhou Bao’s eyes.
Dragons were Primordial Fierce Beasts. But in terms of strength, they were the weakest group among all the Primordial Fierce Beasts. Dragons were not very good at battling. Instead, they were valued for their special nature—they were auspicious beasts. Accordingly, auspicious beasts were meant to represent luck, so how could they be involved in the fighting and killing?
Thus, Zhou Bao did not fear this golden dragon. He leaped up abruptly and soared right at the dragon, wielding his purple bamboo stick, accompanied by complicated gestures.
The stick spun, rotated and blazed a path through the vile wind and deafening thunder. It then charged in the direction of the golden dragon.
“Wham, wham, wham!”
The stick collided with the spear as the wind and thunder roared ferociously!
Zhou Bao shuttled through the endless s.p.a.ce Storms like a fish, while the purple bamboo stick was struggling with the golden spear. Radiance dazzled the crowds as the wind and thunder prevailed at the place. For a moment, Zhou Bao was tied with Emperor Hulong.
