Chapter 1980: Who Were Making Bets Just Now? (1/2)

Their fists collided hard in midair as if two great chaos mountains had slammed into one another.

The surrounding space shook violently as destructive force swept out. There were bursts of bright lights from the surrounding mountain peaks as defensive formations were triggered.

Brennus and others saw what happened when Huang Xiaolong and Caley’s fists collided. Caley’s fist cracked then exploded into a mist of blood, whereas the speed of Huang Xiaolong’s fist was unaffected, and it smacked straight on Caley’s face.

Caley’s head twisted to the side, as his entire body spun as he flew out towards one of the mountains in the distance. He just looked like a strayed rocket.

The mountain peak rumbled and shattered. Rocks and gravel shot to the sky, raising a cloud of dust as he crashed.

Caley was half-buried into the belly of the mountain. The impact had nearly split the mountain in half horizontally.

“What?!... This!?”

Some of the spectating imperial courtyard students were clearly shocked agape, looking at Caley’s sorry state.

Even Brennus and others who had come with Caley were astounded, and their faces paled unnoticeably.

Ao Ping had just left his cultivation palace to watch how Huang Xiaolong was going to handle Caley’s group’s harassment. He was greeted by the sight of a half-buried Caley. For a second, his head went blank, unable to register what had happened.

While everyone was still astounded, Caley, who was half-buried in the mountain’s belly, jerked slightly. Bright light enshrouded his body as he managed to struggle out from the rubble. All eyes were once again on Caley, and gasps sounded in the air. Caley’s face looked like it had been hit by a high-grade grandmist spiritual weapon as one side of his head was sunken while the other side was swollen into a pig-head.

One of his eyeballs had exploded from the force of Huang Xiaolong’s punch.

As the light over Caley’s body glimmered, his face quickly restored its shape.

Huang Xiaolong watched Caley heal without launching another attack.

“Ao Li, you f*cking animal, shameless. You actually used an underhanded trick and sneak-attacked me!” Caley raged as his body expanded in size, turning into a thousand zhang giant. Glimmering radiant runes emerged around him, merging into a protective barrier. It was an ancient divine armor belonging to the ancient god of light.

“I’m going to kill you!” He roared as his eyes turned scarlet as a giant ax appeared in his hand, chopping down at Huang Xiaolong.

Looking at the thousand zhang giant Caley, Ao Ping was shocked and blurted out, “Spiritual Divine Art!”

The Spiritual Divine Art exponentially increased one’s power and defenses simultaneously when executed.

With Caley’s ability to transform into a thousand-zhang tall giant, his explosive and defensive powers were at least doubled.

“It’s actually the Spiritual Divine Art! With this, Caley’s strength rivals many peak late-Fourth Order Emperor Realm experts!”

Judging from the imperial courtyard students’ exclamations as they recognized Caley’s divine art, it showed how powerful this divine art was.

While everyone gasped in shock, Huang Xiaolong struck at Caley’s giant ax with his bare hand.

“What!! That Ao Li’s gone mad, has he? Does he want to directly collide with Caley’s giant ax?! That giant is a low-grade grandmist spiritual artifact. Its power is comparable to a mid-grade grandmist spiritual artifact with Caley’s godforce infused with it!”

“This Ao Li is getting ahead of himself, he must think that he’s really strong!? He merely succeeded just now because he sneak-attacked, catching Caley off guard. That is the only reason he sent Caley flying!”

Many of the spectating students snorted in contempt.
