Chapter 401: Fourth Round – Mao Miaomiao VS Guan Yunchang – Part Two (1/2)
A massive orange fire erupted from Guan Yunchang's real body. An explosion, a shockwave, and a black mushroom smoke followed.
As if someone had dropped a napalm bomb, half of the arena platform became a sea of flame.
However, dragon fire element essence from Miaomiao continued to flow to Guan Yunchang. The former also repeatedly pressed the switch.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Twelve more explosions erupted as the remaining dragon fire essence droplets on Guan Yunchang's body became trackers for homing incendiary bombs, and Miaomiao detonated them as soon as his dragon fire element essence latched onto Guan Yunchang's wound.
…
The extreme temperature, causing by 13 napalm bombs, made many weak spectators sweat profusely. Everyone below the 6th-stage had to keep their distance from the fire as the hot air started to cook them.
Fogan, the orcs, beastmen, and disciples of Huangjin Monastery was also affected by the heat. Fortunately, many ex-disciples of the Silver Phoenix Sect, aka the yin slaves, erected several layers of ice and water dome barrier to protect their people.
Ju Shoufen, on the other hand, was unfazed by the dragon fire. The Sun Crow's blessing and the recent training sessions made her immune to fire elements. Even under the advanced fire element power of Miaomiao, she felt nothing.
The credit of Ju Shoufen's improvement came from the combat experience against Xie Tian's clone. Because of the previous fights, Ju Shoufen gained enlightenment and developed a new dao of fire.
Aside from the poison fire of the Sun Crow, Ju Shoufen could create a replication of dragon fire. She had also increased her resistance against dragon fire after she had dual-cultivated with Miaomiao in the Isolation Training Space.
Now, she stood tall, taking a bath of hot air and the napalm bomb's shockwaves. Her hair glowed in orange color like the fire before her while her petite body glittered in luster as if the heat invigorated her.
Behind her back, two flame wings of the Sun Crow emerged. Her physical body activated the flame wings by reflex to absorb the stray dragon fire element Qi and Essence.
”Flashy as usual. He's a lot stronger than that clone now,” Ju Shoufen nodded in approval as she was proud of Miaomiao.
Behind Ju Shoufen, her son-in-law looked back and forth between Miaomiao on the platform and his mother-in-law. Jia Wenhe didn't understand whom his mother had referred to.
”Who's stronger than who?”
Unlike Ju Shoufen and the yin slaves, Jia Wenhe fell behind in the terms of strength and cultivation progress due to his tight city-management schedules and the affair with the blood bamboo farm. He could only use fire element Qi to filter and resist the heat, yet his face, hair, and back were drenched in sweat.
”Oh, it's nothing. I'm just talking about my old memories.”
”Okay,” Jia Wenhe turned to Guan Yunchang and Miaomiao on the stage. He flew further back to avoid the heat, ”Do you think our Miaomiao can square against that guy? He might have a monstrous innate talent, but his opponent is an 8th-stage cultivator with a soul physique.”
”Don't worry about it. Miaomiao is hurting him alright. As long as his opponent can bleed, he can be killed.”
”… If you say so.”
…
After suffering from 13 consecutive incendiary explosions, Guan Yunchang's soul physique and his armor had been charred black. Yet, his golden eyes still glared at Miaomiao, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
While the real body was recovering from the burn, the mirror body of Guan Yunchang appeared behind Miaomiao. The mirror clone created an avatar of Azure Dragon with his Guandao and swung downward, planning to cleave the target into two.
Miaomiao's tower shield howled and orbited to Miaomiao's back, blocking the strike.
CLANK!
The high-pitched metallic impact was so loud that the spectator's ears hurt.
CRACK!
The tower shield was also cracked from the impact!
However, Miaomiao nonchalantly turned around and touched the tower shield, feeding it with his dragon metal Qi.
The shield was instantly repaired. Furthermore, its surface changed into black amethyst dragon scales, and each scale generated Qi-Sense Jamming Waves toward the mirror clone!
The mirror clone narrowed his eyes and flew backward to avoid the jamming range. He raised his Guandao, sending the avatar of Azure Dragon to the sky. The dragon's spirit rose high and glared at the arena.
At the same time, the real body has recovered from the burnt wounds. Guan Yunchang raised his Guandao, creating ANOTHER Azure Dragon's avatar of his own. Both dragons entwined and merged as one.
RUMBLE
The tribulation clouds and spectating Heavenly Eyes became flustered as they retreated from the battle site. The sky trembled and cracked like a broken glass as the protection array of this mortal world was about to break.
The Twin-Head Azure Dragon emerged after the two dragons became one. They opened their mouths and gathered their Soul Qi, forming two massive energy balls in front of them.
The mirror clone of Guan Yunchang disappeared as it ran out of energy afterward. As for the real body, he gritted his teeth and bellowed.
”This is my best attack! If you can survive the Twin Azure Dragon's Divine Breaths, I'll concede this match!”
Surprisingly, Guan Yunchang didn't drag this match. He decided to use his ultimate move to display his real strength to the world guardians.
Guan Yunchang attempted to appeal to the higher dimension, using this match as a demonstration of his potential and talent, so he could obtain a good sponsor or a dao god's attention. He hoped that one of them would extend their hand to offer him a good title, such as Dao Protector, Dao Guardian, or even better, an apostle.
Anything but a dao god's vessel was fine!
Guan Yunchang poured every strand of soul Qi into their immortal-grade Guandao. He and the weapon roared like a dragon!
Earthquake erupted. The cracks in the sky expanded as the protection array couldn't handle Guan Yunchang's ultimate power.
Beyond the cracks, several massive eyes peeked into the world as if the gods had gazed upon the tiny ants in their enclosure.
”Twin Azure Dragon's Divine Breaths!”
As Guan Yunchang chanted the name of his skill, two blue laser beams descended on Miaomiao!
As the beams came toward Miaomiao at a lightning speed, the latter neither dodged nor attempted to block it.
Instead, he pointed the moon crescent halberd at the incoming beams.
Then, Killer Queen multiplied!
One became two, two became four, four became eight, and so on!
Within a split of a second before the beam reached Miaomiao, 65,535 moon crescent halberds lined up in front of Miaomiao in a square formation while the real one was in Miaomiao's hands.
Miaomiao swung down the real halberd, and every copied weapon moved at the same time!
Death Fortress Sword Style, Army of One!
Stripper Swordsmanship, Stripping Heaven and Earth!
Killing Domain, Line of Death!
Miaomiao used three skills at once. 65,536 weapons slashed through space and tore a hole in the dimension!
And the beams entered the cracked holes instead of hitting Miaomiao!
WHOOM!
The two long beams entered the dark void and vanished. The cracked mended itself and disappeared instantly afterward.
…
Ling Tianlong, who had been observing Miaomiao from afar, widened his eyes as he recognized all the skills that Miaomiao had used.
As an ex-immortal, he knew about the famous Stripper Swordsmanship of the Jian Clan. He also knew about the Killing Domain since it was the byproduct of the dao of slaughter.
