Chapter 838 - Absolute domain (1/2)
Xiao Luo and King of Blades’ midair sword fight was still going on in ebbs and flows, and they were neck to neck. They would engage in close combat, then break off only to charge at each other again like two wild beasts. The clashes of their blades and the attacks using their True Inner Force caused powerful energy waves to engulf the entire space.
In the time it took for one joss stick to burn, the two fighters paused, then pulled back for a break. They landed back on the ground and glared at each other from a distance of about ten feet apart.
A continuous high-intensity fight took a toll on the fighters and would rapidly use up a substantial amount of True Inner Force. Both Xiao Luo and the King of Blades were breathing heavily with sweat dripping down their foreheads.
“Not bad. You are pretty good! You have passed my test!”
King of Blade’s stern expression had suddenly become a lot more relaxed. He withdrew his sword, turned around, and reached for his wine gourd. He pulled out the stopper and gulped down some alcohol.
Passed his test?
“What do you mean by that?”
Xiao Luo did not understand what he meant. Just a brief fight like that, and that was it? Was it not a battle of life and death?
There were looks of disbelief on the faces of the Light Clan people who were surrounding them. They wondered what was going on. The King of Blades was down with just a simple fight? They wanted the remaining descendant of the Xiao Clan taken out as soon as possible.
The King of Blades gulped down a couple of mouthfuls of alcohol. Then he smiled and said, “If I say that you have passed, then you have passed. The King of Blades here will not make things difficult for you anymore. It is as simple as that. There is no hidden meaning.”
“Since you have finished, then move aside. Let this King do it instead!”
The King of Thunder was a step ahead of the King of War and instantly dashed toward Xiao Luo. He stood in front of the King of Blades and his eyes were on fire. He glared at Xiao Luo and said, “Holy Lord is my Goddess. I cannot believe a b*stard like you fooled her. If I do not smash you up, I cannot get rid of this deep hatred inside of me!”
After saying that, he smashed his war hammer on the ground.
BOOM!
What appeared like giant pythons baring sharp teeth and shrouded within bolts of lightning suddenly shot at Xiao Luo. With one stroke of his war hammer, the King of Thunder filled the entire space with lightning bolts. It made everyone’s hair stand on ends. The clear and bright sky suddenly turned gloomy. Followed by a loud rumble, a purple thunderbolt shot straight down from the sky, combining with the bolts from the King of Thunder. It split in two flashes of brilliant energy and shot straight for Xiao Luo.
“Flashy, but completely useless!” King of War uttered with a scornful look.
In the face of such a ferocious attack, Xiao Luo took a couple of steps back and pulled out his Dragon Saber. The crimson-black ray of light formed by the sword energy met the King of Thunder’s thunderbolt and sliced right through it as if it was air. Unable to break the thunderbolt, it continued on its path, closing in on him rapidly.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
A surge of high voltage passed through Xiao Luo’s body and he felt excruciating pain. Every part of him burned as if countless blades were chopping him up as he lay bound on a cutting board. Every single muscle in his body was in agony.
“Urrgh!”
Blood rose to his throat, and he spat the blood out. Xiao Luo could barely hold himself together as he staggered more than a dozen steps back.
The King of Thunder’s war hammer had arrested his Dragon Saber’s crimson-black sword energy. The gigantic black war hammer was unique, for it could absorb the Dragon Saber’s light energy effortlessly, rendering it ineffective against the King of Thunder.
“Luo!”
Ghost quickly rushed forward to assist Xiao Luo, her apricot eyes filled with anxiety.
“I am fine. Stay back, no matter what happens. Do not come to me!” ordered Xiao Luo. He wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth as he warned Ghost,
“He is right, Little Girl. You cannot take part in a fight like this. You are going to be more of a hindrance than a help if you keep rushing to him like that. God-damn brat will have to protect you,” Duck Emperor added.
