"Boom!"
Zhan Tianxia threw another punch at Ao Guang. The fist energy exploded in the air, stirring up a fierce wind.
However, the enraged Ao Guang was now on guard. Its dragon claws lunged directly towards Zhan Tianxia's abdomen. Coldness filled its eyes; it intended to tear apart the mere ant who dared to sneak attack it.
But the next moment, fist met claw with a resounding boom high in the sky. Ao Guang’s massive body was forced back, while Zhan Tianxia remained unmoved!
"Damn it!!! This is impossible!!!"
Ao Guang roared, its eyes filled with shock. The strength of this human before it was terrifying! Its power far surpassed its own!
After all, it was a flood dragon, and it would not be long before it evolved into a true dragon. In terms of physique and strength, it was an extremely powerful existence in this world.
Yet, this human before it, with just one punch, had forced it back, and its dragon claws felt a stinging pain, as if they were about to shatter.
The onlookers on the battlefield were already stunned. Zhan Tianxia had not only hidden his strength, but his true power was this terrifying!
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. He took a deep look at Zhan Tianxia. This person was comparable to a top overlord. He had deliberately lost to him that day. Such depth of character was not something ordinary people possessed.
Then, his gaze sharpened. Since Zhan Tianxia had hidden his strength, would Huang Wudi and Huo Tongzi and the others also be hiding theirs?
The ancient era was not simple. The old fellows were all more secretive than the next!
Li Xiaotian mused, it seemed he would have to be cautious when dealing with the powers of the ancient era from now on.
In the distance, Pu Bucheng’s expression turned slightly grim. He had a bad feeling. If Ao Guang proved no match for Zhan Tianxia, then his chances of turning the tide today would be extremely slim.
"Rumbling!!!"
The man and the beast clashed fiercely. Ao Guang was unwilling. It knew the few overlords in Yanzhou, but none of them were this person.
This meant that an unknown nobody was proving to be its match!
This was the most disgusting insult to it!
"Roar!!!"
Ao Guang bellowed, its sonic waves impacting Zhan Tianxia.
"Fight!"
Zhan Tianxia roared, clenching his fists. The sheer soaring aura alone neutralized Ao Guang's sonic waves.
"Awooo!!!"
Ao Guang roared, its fury reaching the heavens. It unleashed its true might, but Zhan Tianxia remained as steadfast as a nail, unmoving.
At this moment, the powers on both sides of the battlefield had ceased their fighting. They all watched the battle between the man and the beast.
The combat fluctuations they generated were so immense that many people instinctively retreated.
Zhan Tianxia!
A renowned powerhouse from a certain period in the ancient era, reappearing after years of dormancy. It was thought his previous defeat by Li Xiaotian, in a joint effort with eight other experts, marked the end of a hero's saga.
Yet, unexpectedly, he had returned like a king this time, astonishing everyone present and leaving them in utter shock.
Zhan Tianxia. Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. The feeling he got from this person now was no less than that of top overlords like Dao Xuan.
On the side of Great Han, a hint of apprehension flashed in Pu Bucheng's eyes. Ao Guang was his last resort. If Ao Guang was not Zhan Tianxia's opponent, then their Great Han would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Pu Bucheng grew anxious. The reason he sought Ao Guang's help was because it hailed from the East Sea Forbidden Zone.
The East Sea Forbidden Zone, the strongest demon race forbidden zone, teeming with countless powerful beings, and the greatest threat to the human race.
If there was one demon race forbidden zone that the human race hated the most, it was undoubtedly the East Sea Forbidden Zone. This was because in every major war between the two races in the ancient era, the demon race was primarily led by the East Sea Forbidden Zone.
More importantly, the East Sea Forbidden Zone alone required all human forces in the Nine Provinces to resist. And from ancient times to the present, the human race had never managed to invade the depths of the East Sea. The true strength of the East Sea Forbidden Zone remained a mystery to the human race.
In the ancient era, there were also human powerhouses who had attempted to force their way into the East Sea, trying to probe its depths. However, no matter how top-tier the expert, once they entered the depths of the East Sea, they never returned.
It was imaginable how terrifying the East Sea Forbidden Zone was.
What puzzled Pu Bucheng at this moment was, were the experts sent by the East Sea Forbidden Zone truly only Ao Guang?
"Awooo!!! Human, you deserve to die!!! This dragon is enraged! This dragon comes from the depths of the East Sea, and you dare to injure this dragon. Today, no matter what, this dragon will devour you!!!"
Ao Guang suddenly roared. It looked somewhat pathetic now. One of its dragon horns was broken, its pair of dragon claws had shattered bones, and there were several bloody gashes on its body.
Ao Guang's terrifying rage filled the entire world. Everyone could feel its fury.
"Awooo!!!"
Instantly, Ao Guang charged towards the high heavens. Its massive body was enveloped in lightning, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the wind howled.
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield looked solemn. They felt Ao Guang's aura rapidly ascending, and a sense of danger suddenly arose in their hearts.
Zhan Tianxia, caught in the storm, narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly, his fighting spirit constantly rising.
Even as Ao Guang's aura climbed, he showed no sign of retreating, nor did he harbor any fear.
He had comprehended the Great Dao of Battle. The stronger his opponent, the stronger his fighting spirit would become, and the greater his combat power would be!
This battle would either end with him slaying his opponent or his own demise!
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning flashed menacingly in the sky.
"Human! You should be fortunate, for you are about to die under the divine abilities of the most sacred and noble race in the ancient era, the Divine Dragon!!!"
Ao Guang roared, its voice echoing through the heavens and earth.
"Divine Dragon!!! The legendary demon race!"
Li Xiaotian's eyes widened sharply. He remembered what Gu Qing had once told him about the world before the ancient era.
Humans were food, and demons were the masters!
Humans could only struggle bitterly. No matter how many times they resisted, they would be crushed by the powerful might of the demon race.
This was all because the demon race had a group of terrifying legendary races: Divine Dragons, Vermilion Birds, White Tigers, Taoties, Bai Ze, and so on.
The reason the human race was able to rise later was largely due to the disappearance of these legendary demon races.
"Hahaha, Ao Guang, I knew you had a trump card. Excellent, quickly annihilate them, devour them all! Moreover, I can give you a promise now. From now on, every month, I will provide a thousand people for you to consume!"
In the distance, Pu Bucheng laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy. He thought Ao Guang was defeated, but unexpectedly, it still possessed such a terrifying trump card.
The divine abilities of a Divine Dragon, even the weakest among them, were enough to destroy everyone present!
A thousand people!!!
Upon hearing Pu Bucheng's words, Li Xiaotian and the others' eyes flashed with killing intent. Providing a thousand people each month for Ao Guang to consume? How dare he make such a demand!
Pu Bucheng had thoroughly betrayed the human race. Previously, there were still some pretense, but now he stated it publicly. It seemed he no longer felt threatened by the people of Great Qin.
"This person must die! No matter what happens later, we will go all out and slay this beast first!"
Gu Qing growled, his eyes filled with fierce intent.
