655: Chapter 655: Bring it on!
“Is it really that strong?”
At the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he first grievously injured eight early-stage Nascent Soul experts.
Then he fought on par with an elite, late-stage Nascent Soul expert!
Holy crap!
Is this really the strength that someone in the late Golden Core stage should have?
All of a sudden, the two people considering ambushing each other next felt somewhat less confident in their plans.
Even if they took the potions brought by Princess Sasha that could drastically boost their combat strength,
could they really kill Zhao Hui or Bai Xiaofan?
Only if the two of them ended up with one dead and one wounded, and the wounded won at a terrible cost, would there be a chance.
Otherwise, victory seemed very unlikely for them!
With fists and feet flying, Bai Xiaofan and Zhao Hui didn’t hold anything back in each of their attacks.
And neither of them chose to defend, but kept on attacking relentlessly.
Because they both knew very well that in a battle of this caliber, offense was the best defense.
Unless you could have a defense that would force the opponent to acknowledge its strength.
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out.
The two combatants separated.
Standing about ten meters apart, they stared intently at each other.
“Bai Xiaofan, you truly impress me.
I must admit, you’ve far exceeded my expectations.
I originally thought your strength was, at best, equivalent to the early Nascent Soul stage.
After you defeated eight early-stage Nascent Soul experts, I believed your cultivation must be at the mid-Nascent Soul stage!
Now it seems, your combat ability should be at the late Nascent Soul stage, almost no different from mine!”
Zhao Hui stared at Bai Xiaofan, his sinister gaze flickering with ferocity.
With a wave of his large hand, two axes appeared in Zhao Hui’s hands.
As the two axes materialized, a terrifying aura of ferocity burst forth, spreading outwards.
The momentum emanating from Zhao Hui also surged several times over, fueled by this ferocious energy.
Black mist slowly emanated from the axes, enveloping Zhao Hui completely.
Accordingly, Zhao Hui appeared even more formidable.
“The Demon Transformation Art?”
“Elder Zhao Hui has actually taken out the Heaven-Opening Axes and is using the Demon Transformation Art!”
“Wow, I never thought I’d see this in my lifetime!”
“This time, Bai Xiaofan is definitely doomed!”
Members of Dragon Shadow watched Zhao Hui in action, bursting into eager discussions, excitement evident in everyone’s expressions.
They had long heard that Elder Zhao Hui’s weapons were a pair of axes known as the Heaven-Opening Axes, top-grade Immortal Artifacts with incomparable prowess!
Once Elder Zhao Hui took out the Heaven-Opening Axes, it meant he was serious about the fight.
Not to mention that now, Elder Zhao Hui was not only wielding the Heaven-Opening Axes but had also employed the Demon Transformation Art.
The exact power of the Demon Transformation Art was unknown to them,
but they did know this much: twenty years ago, Zhao Hui, with his early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, fought against three mid-stage Nascent Soul experts from the Mi Country and killed all three of them.
Moreover, after killing the three men, Zhao Hui returned to Huaxia, to Dragon Shadow, unscathed— which was the most crucial point.
Hence, no one believed Bai Xiaofan stood a chance of survival.
Even Li Sandao and Blood Demon, who were secretly watching from the shadows, thought the same.
Being of similar age to Zhao Hui, they were naturally more aware of his terror.
Sensing Zhao Hui’s transformation, Bai Xiaofan also stopped hiding his strength; with a wave of his hand, the Dragon Sparrow Sword appeared in his grasp.
“Come and fight; Young Master here has even more for you than you’d ever expect!”
As the words fell, Bai Xiaofan pointed his Dragon Sparrow Sword at Zhao Hui, standing tall and straight.
His figure stood proud and unaffected by the opponent’s imposing aura.
“It has been many years since anyone has been worthy for me to use the Sky Opening Axe, let alone my unique Cultivation Technique.
Now that you have caused them to be wielded, you should bear the consequences!”
Zhao Hui glared ominously at Bai Xiaofan and suddenly leaped forward, his axes slashing viciously towards Bai Xiaofan.
“Die!”
Seeing Zhao Hui attack once again, Bai Xiaofan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils gradually turning a crimson red.
The opponent’s move had sealed off all his paths of retreat.
Therefore, in this battle, there was no turning back!
As his eyes turned crimson red once again, a bloody hue began to swirl around Bai Xiaofan.
One emitting streams of black energy.
Another with a blood-red glow, flickering in and out of sight!
Boom!
The moment the black and blood-red energies collided, an earth-shattering explosion rippled forth.
Accompanied by it was a rampaging energy.
Before the people of Long Ying could react, they were already knocked to the ground by this rampaging force.
Then, each person felt a salty taste in their throat and a mouthful of fresh blood violently spurted out.
Their faces turned instantly pale as paper, devoid of any color.
Yuan’er quickly grabbed Zhan Xing’s shoulder, hastily retreating.
Only after moving about a hundred meters away did the rampaging energy gradually dissipate.
In everyone’s eyes, a profound seriousness and shock could not be helped but emerge.
Just the aftermath of the battle had such terrifying power.
If one were to be hit by the fighters’ moves, then…
Would there still be a chance to live?
Thinking of this, even Li Sandao and Blood Demon couldn’t help but silently shake their heads.
They didn’t believe that with their cultivation, they would have the strength to withstand such an extremely frightening move!
However, Bai Xiaofan and Zhao Hui were already entangled in battle once again at this moment.
Under the dim streetlight, two figures—one black and one red—clashed with full force.
The sounds of the sword clashing with the axes could be intermittently heard.
The longer the battle went on, the more Zhao Hui’s heart panicked.
He had not expected Bai Xiaofan’s strength to far exceed his imagination.
He had originally thought that treating his opponent as a Nascent Soul late-stage practitioner was already highly estimating Bai Xiaofan.
Yet to his surprise, Bai Xiaofan’s true combat power was even stronger than he had envisioned.
Keep in mind, even against a Nascent Soul late-stage expert, he himself would have the power to fight.
But Bai Xiaofan still managed to engage him in a fight where neither could easily withdraw.
This battle could not go on like this any longer, the more they delayed, the more variables would emerge.
With this thought, Zhao Hui channeled the Demon Transformation Art, directing the black energy flowing around his body into the axes.
Simultaneously, Bai Xiaofan also had no desire to prolong the battle.
Slaughter Eye!
Bai Xiaofan activated the Slaughter Eye once again, and the crimson color in his eyes grew even more intense.
So much so that his whole being was enveloped in a layer of blood-red, even the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand was not spared.
Bai Xiaofan was very aware that Zhao Hui might be the strongest enemy he had encountered since he started his journey.
Therefore, this move had to be executed with full force, with absolutely no room for relaxation.
