Chapter 496: Killing Gao Yangyu
A loud dragon roar resounded over the lake as a dragon head appeared in front of Xiao Chen’s fist.
“You overestimate yourself. You really dared to attack me first!”
Gao Yangyu did not appear to be in a panic. He split his attention and moved his Essence to send out another palm strike.
The dragon head scattered and Xiao Chen tumbled over three times in the air, dissipating the force from the palm strike. He turned his left hand into a claw. An azure dragon claw appeared and there was another resounding dragon roar.
Gao Yangyu tilted his body to dodge, and then his figure flashed and arrived to the left of Xiao Chen. He moved forward and sent over a palm strike.
“Roar!”
The dragon roar continued to resound without end. Xiao Chen clenched his right hand into a fist and merged his Vital Qi and Essence together, clas.h.i.+ng head-on against Gao Yangyu.
“Bang!”
Fist and palm clashed and the originally calm lake became agitated. Waves soared over a hundred meters high from the lake, filling the air with water before falling back down like rain.
The previously immovable Gao Yangyu finally moved three steps back after this attack.
However, Xiao Chen was in an even more miserable state than him. He moved back ten steps before he could stand stably on the water.
“Ha!”
Before Gao Yangyu found his footing, Bai Lixi quickly rushed over on the water. Every step he took contained raw power; when his foot landed, a water pillar would shoot up.
Gao Yangyu had a grim expression as he forcibly suppressed the fluctuations in his blood and Qi. He sent out two palm strikes in rapid succession; the winds howled and the sound of waterfalls roared continuously.
The force of the two attacks instantly dissipated Bai Lixi’s surging attack.
Bai Lixi took two steps back on the water. He chuckled and said, “Old man, why do you seem weak? Come, receive an attack from my axe!”
When a tiger comes down to the plains, it would be bullied by dogs. Gao Yangyu raged in his heart. Normally, these two people were no match for him. However, when they worked together, there was no time for him to breathe. Instead, he felt a sense of helplessness. He had to deal with one of them first.
[TL note: When a tiger comes down to the plains, it would be bullied by dogs: This is a Chinese proverb meaning a man who loses position and influence may be subjected to much indignity.]
Gao Yangyu looked around and made up his mind. He pushed heavily off the water and the lake parted.
With air beneath Bai Lixi’s feet, he immediately fell downwards, making him feel very depressed.
Gao Yangyu ignored what happened to Bai Lixi; he simply snortly coldly and rushed at Xiao Chen with lightning speed.
I was just waiting for you! A dragon head appeared over Xiao Chen’s right fist and a dragon claw appeared over his spread left hand. Then, the illusion of an Azure Dragon appeared behind him.
“Merge!” Xiao Chen shouted and the image of a dragon behind him attained consummation. Then, he punched at the approaching Gao Yangyu with his right fist.
“Roar!”
The ear-splitting dragon roar resounded throughout the lake. The Azure Dragon left Xiao Chen and a supreme Dragon’s Might spread over the surface of the lake.
Ripples appeared on the lake and turned into huge waves.
Gao Yangyu’s expression immediately changed as he quickly formed hand seals. Following that, the lake water below him rose into a s.h.i.+eld in front of him.
The dragon head crashed into the water s.h.i.+eld and split it apart. The dragon tail swept across and slammed into Gao Yangyu, sending him flying.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare you soak this old man in water!”
Bai Lixi, who had sunk to the bottom of the lake, broke through the surface of the water and rushed at Gao Yangyu. The black gloves Bai Lixi wore lit up with a blue light, causing an explosive increase in the might of his axe.
“Boom!”
Gao Yangyu, who had just suffered an attack, was caught off-guard. Bai Lixi’s axe slammed him into the water and made him tumble for a long distance before he came to a stop.
“Did you really think that I would seek you out if I was only slightly confident?” Xiao Chen said expressionlessly to Gao Yangyu as he walked over to him on the water.
When Gao Yangyu sought trouble for Xiao Chen over and over again in Wrestling City, he probably had not expected this sort of a situation to befall him today.
Gao Yangyu stood up somewhat miserably and looked at the two approaching people. He roared ferociously and rushed at them.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The three started fighting again. There was no doubt that Gao Yangyu was stronger than either of the two.
However, Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi were very patient. They did not make any mistakes in their moves as they worked together to wear him down.
After one person finished his move, the other person would immediately follow up. They did not give Gao Yangyu any time to catch his breath.
As time slowly went by, the internal injuries that Gao Yangyu suppressed grew increasingly severe; pressure built up inside him. If he could not suppress the internal injuries and let them spurt out, he would be in danger.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi had the opportunity to take breathers; they did not suffer from any internal injuries in their bodies. As the battle grew fiercer, they pressed Gao Yangyu even more closely.
No, I cannot let this continue to drag out. Otherwise, this is where I will meet my end. I really did not expect this brat to be able to grow to such a level within a short two months.
Gao Yangyu did his best to execute a huge move that caused the waves to surge strongly, knocking the two back.
Gao Yangyu wiped blood off the corner of his lips. Then, he smiled coldly, “I am indeed not a match for the two of you when you work together. However, you will not be able to stop me from leaving, either. Just wait to suffer my wrath!”
As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood. Gao Yangyu was a pragmatic person; he understood that if he left first and worked together with Qin Yu, he would not need to fear the two.
[TL note: As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood: This is a Chinese proverb for while there is life, there is hope.]
This was indeed the case. Given the two’s strength, it would be easy for them to defeat Gao Yangyu. However, it would be rather hard for them to kill him.
Unless there was a suppressive advantage in terms of strength, it would be very hard to keep Gao Yangyu here.
When Xiao Chen saw Gao Yangyu trying to leave, he did not panic. He casually tossed a wooden sculpture into the lake and formed hand seals.
“Life Bestowal Spell!”
