Chapter 427 A Battle of A Different Level
“Sun Luote, Langtuck, are you guys ready?” asked the Supreme Venerable Elder from above.
“I’m ready, Elder!” said Sun Luote, full of fighting spirit. “Let’s fight!” declared Langtuck grimly. The Supreme Venerable Elder took another glance at Supreme Venerable Elder, then said, “The 11th match shall commence immediately.”
After the announcement was made, Sun Luote immediately distanced himself from Langtuck. He held a weapon in his hand and looked at the other party solemnly.
His weapon was an unremarkable iron rod.
Despite its ordinary appearance, it was related to Sun Luote by blood.
According to the elder who adopted him, the metal rod seemed to have a mind of its own when he picked him up. It hovered around him and protected him.
Lu Wei’s eyes lit up when he saw the metal rod in Sun Luote’s hand.
“To have produced the Ruyi Staff at such an early age, it seems like his Combat Sage Ape bloodline is quite significant.
“Since he is of the bloodline of us Demons, we have to bring him back to the Demon realm no matter what.” Lu Wei had made up his mind and was already thinking of a solution.
Below, Langtuck looked calm. Just like Xiong Chu, he didn’t think much of Sun Luote.
Few people in the sect knew of Sun Luote’s true strength. This was because Sun Luote rarely displayed his strength in public. However, the fact that he was able to reach the eighth cla.s.s of Mahayana before even cultivating for a hundred years proved that his talent and potential far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Qin Chuan didn’t know exactly how strong Sun Luote was, but his instincts told him that he wasn’t weak. At the very least, he would be stronger than the geniuses of the Luo Ding Sect.
But…
His opponent wasn’t simple.
Qin Chuan carefully observed Langtuck. From the aura he exuded, he seemed to be on par with Xiong Chu. In fact, he seemed to be slightly more powerful.
Xiong Chu was already very powerful.
That made Langtuck even scarier.
“You have to hang in there, Sun Luote!” said Qin Chuan worriedly, his gaze fixed on Sun Luote.
After coming up with a strategy, Sun Luote began his offensive.
He lowered his body, his bright eyes filled with seriousness.
His posture was very similar to that of a wild beast preparing to attack.
The next second, he moved.
His figure disappeared like the wind, reappearing behind Wolf Tack.
The entire process took less than the blink of an eye. There was no sound at all. He was as silent as a phantom.
Disbelief filled the eyes of the spectators. Even though they detested Sun Luote, they still acknowledged his strength. However, they did not expect him to be so fast.
Logically speaking, he should have been able to rip through s.p.a.ce at this speed, but he made no sound at all, as though he had teleported.
Qin Chuan was also stunned by Sun Luote’s speed.
However, as he carefully recalled the process, he realized something. He knew why Sun Luote did not produce any sound or damage at such a fast speed.
At the start of the fight, Sun Luote chose to put some distance between himself and Wolf Tucker. Most people would a.s.sume that his goal was to keep his distance from his opponent in case of a sudden ambush.
However, the truth was that he had set up two array formations as soon as he took a step back.
The first was a silencing array, and the second was an illusion array.
The silencing array worked to isolate the sound produced by the tearing of s.p.a.ce during rapid movements.
The function of an illusion array was to make the outside world think that s.p.a.ce had never been torn apart, creating an illusion.
It had to be admitted that Sun Luote was very thoughtful.
At this moment, he swung the Ruyi Staff at Langtuck’s head.
At such a close distance, even if one managed to react in time and dodge, he would still be injured.
But, as a Demon genius who was even better than Xiong Chu, he immediately saw through Sun Luotao’s trick.
He quickly raised his right arm and blocked the staff.
Bang!
A deafening clash erupted.
The shockwave generated by the collision was equivalent to a typhoon at level-10.
In an instant, yellow sand danced in the air, creating a sandstorm.
The strange thing was that even though the ground that Langtuck was standing on should have sunk in after withstanding such a powerful attack, it was completely unaffected.
Seeing that his attack had been blocked, Sun Luote immediately retracted his staff, intending to put some distance between himself and Langtuck.
Unexpectedly, Langtuck grabbed the Ruyi Staff instead.
“Trying to leave after striking me? That’s not the way to go.”
With Langtuck’s strength, Sun Luote tried to pull back the Ruyi Staff, but his entire body was pulled over.
Langtuck made a quick move, his left hand clenching into a fist and delivering a solid punch to Sun Luote’s abdomen. Sun Luote’s eyes bulged out, and they turned bloodshot. Blood spurted out from his mouth as he was sent flying. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a meteorite, he crashed through dozens of sand dunes before coming to a stop.
In the huge crater, Sun Luote lay motionless, his fate unknown.
This scene dealt a huge blow to the geniuses of the Luo Ding Sect.
They couldn’t have imagined that the seemingly casual punch of Langtuck contained such terrifying power. Had it been them, they would have exploded!
Due to the fact that Sun Luote had demon blood, his body was slightly tougher than a human’s.
However, despite its toughness, it couldn’t withstand the might of Langtuck’s punch.
In fact, Langtuck had already managed his strength.
Lu Wei had instructed that no killing was allowed during this challenge.
With his hands on his hips, Langtuck looked up at the Supreme Venerable Elder. “Senior of the Luo Ding Sect, I think you can make the announcement!”
The Supreme Venerable Elder faltered. Just as he was about to speak, a sound came from afar.
The Ruyi Staff came whoos.h.i.+ng through the air, and on top of it stood Sun Rot.
“I haven’t lost yet, Elder!” said Sun Luote, his eyes s.h.i.+ning despite the blood trickling down the corner of his lips.
The Supreme Venerable Elder nodded wordlessly.
Sun Luote hopped down from the Ruyi Staff and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Langtuck, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. “I didn’t lose. Let’s continue.”
Langtuck sneered. “You didn’t learn. Looks like that punch was too light.
“Fine! It’s been a while since I last exercised, so I’ll use you to warm up!
“I hope you don’t collapse too soon.”
The next moment, both Langtuck and Sun Luote sprang into action.
Langtuck was faster than Sun Luote. Sun Luote had only covered four to five meters, but Langtuck was already before him.
Langtuck didn’t use any weapons, only his fists.
Sun Luote knew full well that Langtuck was much stronger than him, but he didn’t back down or show any fear.
Bang!
The speed of his punches was faster than lightning, tearing through s.p.a.ce with ease. As Langtuck’s punches were so fast, Sun Luote had to rely on his senses to block them.
Bang!
Sun Luote’s bet was right.
The staff collided with Langtuck’s fist, but in the next second, Sun Luote was sent flying again like a cannonball.
Langtuck slowly retracted his right foot and gazed in the direction where Sun Luote had been sent flying. “Did I hit him too hard?”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of sand dunes were razed to the ground.
Sun Luote lay in the deep hole, clutching his stomach with both hands. His expression was one of extreme agony.
Cough, cough, cough!
After throwing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Sun Luote crawled to his feet with great difficulty. His body was swaying, and he could barely stand.
At this moment, Langtuck appeared above the crater.
Resting his hands on his hips, he looked down with a teasing look in his eyes. “Tsk tsk tsk! Is that all you got? Looks like I overestimated you.”
Upon hearing these words, a surge of energy suddenly surged through the unyielding Sun Luote’s. All of the weakness in his body was swept away as boundless fighting spirit erupted from him.
He raised his right hand, and the Ruyi Staff whizzed through the air and landed in the palm of Sun Luote’s hand.
Grasping the Ruyi Staff, he pointed at Langtuck and shouted, “Again!”
