Chapter 428 - Battle (2/2)

At that precise moment, Ouyang De kicked out as well.

BAM! BAM!

Both men received devastating kicks to their chests and staggered back five or six steps before they managed to steady themselves.

They were now gasping heavily and their bodies soaked in sweat as they stood staring at each other.

“Hong, you old ghost, your wounded arm has started bleeding,” Ouyang De cautioned.

“I have too much blood, is it wrong to release a little?” Hong Ji responded. While he did not even look at his arm, the excruciating pain caused his forehead to break out in beads of sweat.

Ouyang De was infuriated. “Why do you keep blowing your own trumpet? Forget it, stop fighting in this condition, or else I’m afraid you will kill yourself. If you still insist, then let’s resort to using our special skills—you use your Palm of the Eighteen Dragons, and I will use my Toad Power. Then we resolve this feud once and for all, how about that?”

“Yes, that’s a good idea… a great idea. Come on, then!” Hong Ji snarled.

“Okay, here I come!”

Ouyang De let out a roar and cast his Ghost Head Divine Snake Rod aside. He got down on all fours and assume a position like a toad.

Ouyang De inhaled and exhaled deeply in a rhythmic pattern, and the surrounding air began to churn and tremble, sending out ripples of shockwaves. Soon, Ouyang De’s chest began to swell and expand until his clothes were torn apart.

Hong Ji also dropped his stick and took a deep breath. He then slowly moved his right palm and channeled his inner force toward his hand to deliver the Palm of the Eighteen Dragons.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became thick with a crackling charge of energy, and the temperature fell drastically, sending a chill across the ground.

Ji Siying’s heart sank, and she was becoming very nervous. It was evident that this was a fight to the finish, and it was not something that she personally wanted to see.

“Mr. Xiao Luo, can’t you stop them?” Ji Siying cried.

Xiao Luo said nothing in response, but his eyes continued staring intensely at the duelists, and he remained very calm.

At that point, Hong Ji and Ouyang De had already completed summoning their inner force and were ready to execute their respective techniques.

“Toad opens its mouth!”

“Dragon with its regret!”

Both roared in unison as they violently unleashed their ultimate moves causing the wind to howl like a tornado. The courtyard and the surrounding structures seemed to shake and sway as these two forces collided.

Ji Siying screamed and covered her eyes with both her hands, unwilling to see what would happen next.

BOOM!

The moment the fighters made contact, the ground beneath them started cracked, and energy surged outward like waves.

Hong Ji and Ouyang De were suddenly stunned because their strikes did not connect on each other, but instead, on another person. Xiao Luo suddenly appeared out of thin air and took their attacks on his chest and back.

“Young man, you… what’s this…” Ouyang De was shocked.

Hong Ji’s face changed immediately. “Young man… you… you…” he said.

Hong Ji was deeply concerned.

Ji Siying put her hands down and peeked. Her jaw dropped when she saw who the person that had been struck was—it was none other than Xiao Luo.

He glanced coldly at the two old fighters and said, “Don’t you two old men who something better to do?”

And when he finished saying that, he slapped both their heads with lightning speed.
