“This time, you are dead!” The demon Lavda roared out as he shot forward in a flash towards Xue Ying.
‘His speed has become much faster!’ Xue Ying understood this immediately.
At the same time, he held onto his spear while inviting the attack, ‘Let me see what moves you, as a hemon, have. Don’t disappoint me!’
Since he had revealed the Water and Fire Flood Dragon Attack, he might as well just attack with his full power from now on!
“Hong!” “Hong!”
The two figures clashed relentlessly against each other. This conflict marked the start of the fierce battle between them.
And neither of them decided to flee!
Even though his body had become smaller and thinner, demon Lavda’s strength did not have any changes. Instead, his speed and flexibility clearly had a marked increase such that even under the suppression of Xue Ying’s flames, the demon was still somewhat more powerful than Xue Ying!
And Xue Ying’s Water and Fire Flood Dragon Attack was used time after time!
Unpredictability! Fierce power!
His technique completely absorbed the strong points of both the Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire, while at the same time, it created a stacking effect of great increase in both the areas of unpredictability and power!
“Damn!” The demon Lavda gritted his teeth.
The spearhead tore through one of his arms, causing the scales on it to fly all over the place. A huge wound appeared there – it was so deep that bones could be seen.
‘This human’s spear techniques are too difficult to block! And his power is also great as well.’ Madness appeared within his eyes. He decided that since it was so difficult to block the ‘Water and Fire Flood Dragon Attack’, he might as well just ignore it. At the very least, he would want to kill this human even if he was to incur some injuries!
Pu chi! Si la! Hua la!
This battle between them became more bloody.
The scales covering demon Lavda’s body were fragmented into pieces. Wounds were seen everywhere, with one of them being a bloody cavity.
“Si.” Even though Xue Ying’s spear techniques were mysterious and his defense was great, under the demon’s crazed attack, he was clawed on his chest.
With just an early stage Sky realm Transcendent Qi protecting his body, it was easily broken through. The ordinary black robe he was wearing did not have much help in protecting his chest as well. A huge injury could be seen on his chest where blood or flesh could not be discerned clearly. However, this injury was currently recovering at a fast rate. Even though Xue Ying’s restoration rate was not as fast as this demon’s, it was still relatively fast compared to mortals.
…
The many mortals felt nervous and excited at the same time as they watched the black-robed young man, belonging to their human race, fighting against a frightening demon who was madly attacking head-on! It seemed that neither of them were disadvantaged in this match, leading to the excitement everyone felt.
That young man’s upper shirt was fragmented and tattered, showing a robust upper body that had well-defined muscular lines. Although there was an injury on his body which was healing gradually, before it could be fully healed, another injury would be incurred on his body! As for the demon, his injuries were much more serious than Xue Ying’s. The demon, however, was not in danger of being killed due to his frightening restoration speed despite his many serious injuries.
“That demon is being constantly suppressed.”
“If not for his fast restoration rate, he’d been killed long ago.”
The mortals continued watching nervously.
The battle was being carried out at such a fast pace that they could only see how the combatants looked during the momentary pauses which occasionally occurred when the two clashed.
And when the many women saw the revealed upper half of Xue Ying’s body, they felt shy and excited.
“Dong Bo Xue Ying.” Yu Jing Qiu looked on nervously.
…
The three top Demigod overlords under the heavens – Mountain Lord He, Faction Head Si Kong Yang, and City Lord Bu all watched joyfully.
“By just comprehending the early stage of fusion between the Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire, he could be so formidable already.” City Lord Bu laughed as she drank down the wine, “No wonder the True Meaning of Water and Fire can be rated a fourth grade True Meaning out of nine possible grades for the different True Meanings within the Deity World.”
True Meaning could be graded into nine different levels according to the sorting determined by the Deity World.
Categorising the countless True Meanings comprehended within the Material World and the Deity World into different grades, the peak True Meanings were categorised as grade one. Actually, those grade two True Meanings were already spoken of only in legends, with the possibility of comprehending them being almost zilch!
In reality, even the heaven-shaking ‘True Meaning of Void Cleavage’ was only a grade three True Meaning! It was merely higher by one grade than the True Meaning of Water and Fire. Right now, amongst all existences under the heavens, including humans, Transcendent natives and those from the Beast Clan, the most heaven-shaking True Meaning was one of grade three. This could be considered as extremely, extremely formidable already as it allowed Chi Qiu Bai to kill a Demigod native when he was only at peak stage Saint realm and to defeat a human Demigod overlord as well!
As for the majority of the Transcendents, they would only comprehend a grade nine, eight or seven True Meaning! Those who could comprehend a grade six True Meaning would be considered as someone amazing.
As for the grade four ‘True Meaning of Water and Fire’, with it, one would be able to disdain all others.
“He just took his first step. Wanting to successfully control the True Meaning of Water and Fire isn’t something easy,” Si Kong Yang humbly replied.
“Ha, this Dong Bo Xue Ying could take the first step at such a young age, implying that it’s not such a huge problem for him to comprehend the True Meaning of Water and Fire.” Mountain Lord He laughed, “The more important point is that he should not veer off from the path for the next thousand years, less he comprehend the ‘True Meaning of Icy Fire’ instead. It would be such a pity then.”
This True Meaning of Icy Fire was considered a branch of the ‘True Meaning of Water and Fire’, and could only be considered as a grade five True Meaning!
As for the True Meaning of Void Cleavage, it was actually a branch of the rumoured ‘True Meaning of Space’ passed down from the legends. After all, it could only be considered as an area of space.
“I don’t think he will.” Si Kong Yang looked at the battle below, “Dong Bo Xue Ying is currently using the Profound Mystery of Water with unpredictability and softness as the main point of usage! There is nothing ice-related, thus I doubt he will walk down the path for ‘True Meaning of Icy Fire’.”
…
Within the battleground.
Xue Ying’s battle prowess put on display an extremely tragic and bedraggled demon Lavdac. At the very least, Xue Ying was still focused on defending and thus, his injuries were relatively light. As for the demon Lavda, he was only preventing the attacks from injuring his critical areas. As for attacks which were non-fatal, he would just ignore them. Of course, attacks that created an injury like the huge cavity on the left side of his chest, making his heart shatter, would certainly be dodged by the demon Lavda if he could.
‘Damn. I cannot let this go on. I can feel that my physical strength might not allow me to carry on for long!’ Even though Xue Ying held the upperhand when the overall situation was considered, he knew something was awry! His Power Bloodline release consumed his energy at an immense rate, thus preventing him from prolonging the battle.
Sou.
Xue Ying suddenly retreated.
“Mn?” The demon Lavda stared blankly, before grinning, “Haha, you can’t hold on any longer? I knew that this would happen. Even if my injuries are heavier than yours, with my greater life force, I’m much stronger than you. At least, I can resist on for a longer time than you can.”
Even as he was saying those words, the demon Lavda had already chased down Xue Ying. He did not want to give him any chance of respite.
