Chapter 736: Unyielding in Power |
Facing Wang Hong's slightly mocking tone, it irritated Ao Ya
Facing Wang Hong's slightly mocking tone, it irritated Ao Yaoxiu. He decided to go all out, hoping that one move could kill Wang Hong.
At this moment, he harbored murderous intent towards Wang Hong.
"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Wang, you are eloquent indeed, but ultimately, strength is what matters. Here comes the second move, be cautious, Fellow Daoist Wang."
As soon as the words fell, a pair of Fiery Red dragon horns appeared in the sky. These dragon horns were extremely huge, with three branches protruding from them.
After these dragon horns appeared, they carried a powerful pressure of heaven and earth, as if the entire world merged with them in an instant.
The two dragon horns attacked Wang Hong from the left and right sides respectively. Before the attack landed, the trees and buildings around Wang Hong collapsed with a loud crash.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the field couldn't help but feel shocked.
"I didn't expect that Ao Fellow Daoist could already manipulate the laws and borrow the power of heaven and earth. In this case, it should be difficult for Fellow Daoist Wang to respond."
To be able to use the power of heaven and earth through comprehended laws, even if it's just a tiny bit, is almost unattainable for a Soul Transformation cultivator.
For Ao Yaoxiu to achieve such a height in the Soul Transformation stage, it either indicated extraordinary talent or some special encounter.
"As far as I know, Fellow Daoist Wang hasn't been in the Soul Transformation stage for long. How could he withstand such a blow containing the might of heaven and earth?"
Putting himself in the shoes of Wang Hong, the cultivator from the Gu Clan realized that even after hundreds of years of being in the Soul Transformation stage, he might not be able to withstand this blow.
"Ao Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!"
The cultivator from the Gu Clan couldn't help but plead loudly.
"It's too late. Once Ao Brother unleashes this move, it's hard to take it back. If there are any consequences in the duel, one can only blame their own lack of strength and stubbornness."
Beside him, the White Tiger demon cultivator said triumphantly.
"Last time when surrounded by the savage tribe, I didn't see Ao Fellow Daoist use such a powerful attack. I didn't expect him to use it in a duel with a newly promoted Soul Transformation member of the Human Clan today."
The cultivator from the Gu Clan muttered, his expression somewhat indifferent.
At this moment, the pair of dragon horns in the sky had accumulated enough power and were now roaring towards Wang Hong.
Wang Hong didn't dare to be careless at this moment. Runes circulated all over his body, and a black giant sword appeared in his hand, slashing out hundreds of sword lights to meet the descending dragon horns.
"Boom!"
Amidst the dazzling lights, there were continuous loud noises, and the huge shockwaves made several Soul Transformation cultivators who were watching retreat hundreds of yards.
When the light diminished and the booming ceased, everything returned to calmness.
Wang Hong, still standing proudly with his sword, revealed that except for the two feet of land under him, the surrounding area had disappeared, forming a circular deep pit.
The robe on Wang Hong's body was torn into pieces, fluttering in the wind.
As for Ao Clan Demon Cultivator, after using this move, his expression looked somewhat ugly. He had exerted all his strength but still didn't manage to harm Wang Hong even a bit. There were several more scars on his dragon horns.
"Fellow Daoist Ao, hurry up and use your third move. After I'm done with you, I still need to go back for dinner."
Wang Hong disregarded the beggar-like appearance on his body, speaking with full confidence, as if the previous attack had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Li, I admire your prowess. Let's call off the third move!"
After unleashing his powerful attack earlier, the Ao Clan Demon Cultivator had exhausted all his Demonic Energy. At this moment, even if faced with a Golden Core Cultivator, he wouldn't stand a chance.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to strike at Wang Hong again in his current state.
"How can that be? If word gets out in the future, it won't sound good. If necessary, let Fellow Daoist Ao take a hit from me instead?"
Wang Hong also noticed some issues at this point. Naturally, he wasn't willing to end things here. Why should he just take hits without retaliating?
"Hmph! Don't push it. It's better to call it quits when things are still good," White Tiger sneered.
Wang Hong wasn't pleased with the rules set by others for the duel. Why should he abide by someone else's guidelines?
"What's this? Earlier, it was Fellow Daoist Ao who suggested testing my strength. Now that he can't gauge my strength, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to test his. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ao is afraid?"
"Today, Ao Fellow Daoist is feeling unwell. I will definitely visit another day and personally learn from Fellow Daoist Wang," Ao Clan Demon Cultivator excused himself, knowing his own condition well. His Demonic Energy hadn't recovered, so it wasn't suitable for him to engage in combat.
"I see Fellow Daoist with a healthy complexion, full of vigor, and a loud voice. You didn't seem unwell just now, did you? If necessary, I'll only use ten percent of my strength to gently test Fellow Daoist Ao's abilities."
Wang Hong was determined to strike back. It wouldn't be fair for him to bully Ao if he felt he could win and back out when he couldn't.
"I, of the Ao Clan, don't need to prove my strength to anyone, especially not to you."
Ao Jia spoke coldly, aware of his high status within the Demon Clan. He had no need to prove himself to anyone, especially not to Wang Hong, who was just a member of the Human Clan.
"Exactly! Who do you think you are?"
"You were just a pawn a few days ago. Given a little authority, you've become overbearing."
The Demon Clan's five Soul Transformation members all mocked.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Ao is determined to be a coward. Since Fellow Daoist is unwilling, then so be it. I'll let you off today."
Wang Hong shifted his gaze to the several Demon Clan Soul Transformation cultivators who had been mocking him. Suddenly, their voices ceased as if someone had choked them. Though they were all Soul Transformation cultivators, their strengths varied. Even the strongest Ao Jia didn't dare to fight Wang Hong, let alone them.
As for Ao Jia, since he was already at a disadvantage, he certainly wouldn't engage in another fight with Wang Hong just because of his provocations.
Having lived for thousands of years, if he couldn't even tolerate this much, he would have died countless times in this treacherous Cultivation World.
Since no one was willing to make a move anymore, Wang Hong had no choice. After all, both sides were still part of the same alliance and shared common enemies.
Originally, today's gathering of Gu Clan cultivators summoned Wang Hong, and the elders of the human-demon alliance had intended to discuss some matters. But now, no one was in the mood, so they could only disperse without joy.
On the way back, the cultivators from the Gu Clan and Yue Chengxi accompanied Wang Hong, implicitly acknowledging his leadership.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, may I ask what the elders were planning to discuss at today's meeting?"
Even though the meeting had ended, Wang Hong was still interested.
"It's nothing major, just discussing the defense of Flying Fish Island after the failure of this battle," the Gu Clan cultivator said casually.
