Chapter 351: Fierce Battle Against White Tiger (2/2)
White Tiger took five paces back. His face was pale. ”Good skills, good punches!”
”You can't take it!” Zhou Bao smiled, his pulse racing. That damn White Tiger is stronger than I realized. I've used Heavenly Jade Technique and Snake-like Breath Holding, and the third punch was a crucial hit, the separate realm space was even shattered, but he hadn't even seriously injured him. No wonder he was able to gain a foothold in Panglai.
”White Tiger is indeed a white tiger and so very strong. However, one simply cannot have fake skills here!” Zhou Bao laughed aloud, and with a wave of his hands, he issued forth an invisible force using only the least effort, yet it had a invincible gravity that enveloped everyone.
”Come back, boy!” White Tiger had exchanged five fists punches with Zhou Bao, and although it had not yielded any results, he had exposed his wild nature, all the while, snarling and leaping and his white Gang Qi had roared forth like a river in full flood.
”I don't have time to play games with you!” Zhou Bao sneered, threw a punch and vanished from the sight of the five people.
His space had been ruined but his skills were still excellent!
When White Tiger leapt up, he felt that something was not right. Even though the gravity around him was not very strong, it permeated the air, and a force from nowhere seemed to be restraining his fists.
In the martial arts world, the loss of an inch equates to the loss of a mile.
Since he was restrained, he was unable to unleash all his powers, which White Tiger understood. He gave a shout and his white Gang merged into a powerful river. Gushing on with a whistling sound, it broke apart Zhou Bao's force field.
And returned to the dazzling black sun.
Boom!
The white river came in ultra layers and was filled with boundless energy. Even though the black hole was swallowing things up, it was only an illusion. It was only a virtual product of Zhou Bao's creation, and it broke apart as Zhou Bao had exceeded the limit of its powers already. The river resembled a maelstrom, surging towards the black sun.
”It's good!” Zhou Bao said. Suddenly a dark shadow on the river.
This time, it was not a black hole but a whole planet.
Boom! The power of the two forces collided with such a terrible impact that the earth shook.
Zhou Bao's fist intent was shattered in the collision and dispersed. His face was pale as his form retreated.
The area around the two was razed to the ground within a ten thousand foot radius. Zhou Bao realized he should be more wary and shifted his separate space to the foot of Jilei Mountain. Otherwise, the battle between them would destroy the greater part of Wuyang. Probably no survivors would be left at the newly completed Lord Mansion.
”You fool, how dare you cause such an upheaval in my territory!” Surveying the scene before him, Zhou Bao let loose the total force of his actual powers, without regard for anything. Raising both hands, his light golden Gang flowed in a circle and combining together with nine beams of light gathered into one solid beam of golden light that turned into an egg-shaped hood that came down straight over White Tiger's head.
Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield!
Since Zhou Bao had soaked in the Pure Yang Water, the power of his Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Shield had increased tens of times over in power, but its appearance was rather strange.
On the other hand, White Tiger was not doing well. However, since he had come so far, there was no point in giving up now. As soon as he saw Zhou Bao's fire shield coming over him, he refused to yield. His Gang began vibrating fiercely and he issued forth a blood-curdling, shrill roar. Zhou Bao's fire shield was blocked by his shrieks just as it was about to come down on his head. The intensity of the sound waves had defeated the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Shield.
”What was all that roaring about?”
Zhou Bao's face fell, and he lifted his hand. A ball of light golden fire shot out towards White Tiger's Gang.
Great Fusion Technic!
”What! The look on White Tiger's face changed and he grunted with the effort. The Great Fusion Technic came as a sudden move and was so powerful that it had even blasted away his Gang. The shrieking stopped abruptly and White Tiger lost his ability to hold off the fire around his head and it came down over him.
BOOM!
The fire shield was translucent and as it covered his head, the demonic fire inside smouldered as its flames were directed at him.
White Tiger had been too careless and Zhou Bao's fire had engulfed him. But he did not panic. A white mist of light appeared and shielded his body from the blazing flames.
The four Individual Immortals from the Divine Wind Palace were all looking on.
Is this for real? Am I dreaming?
Someone had actually sparred with White Tiger and had not been totally defeated. Besides that, he had also revealed the power of his Gang and Divine Sense, and kept White Tiger on the defensive with no chance to counter. Was this scoundrel's skills really at level nine only?
Even though he had considerable skills, everyone already knew that he was also a trouble maker, his reputation had already preceded him.
”Roar!”
Zhou Bao had engulfed White Tiger with Nine Dragons Heavenly Shield, but it was only an instant later that his swirling white light mist resurfaced as he gave a mighty roar. He turned into a beam of white light and aimed himself at Zhou Bao.
”Not bad!” Zhou Bao muttered, loosening his muscles and carried on.
Bang, bang, bang!
Boom, boom, boom!
The two were in close combat, but hearing the blows resounding like thunder, the enormous explosions of Qi, the four Immortals who were in the vicinity, recoiled. None were willing to expose themselves to all the flying qi. As for Jiang Xiao and the others, they were already unconscious, knocked out from the impact. Mock Moon Immortal fearfully dragged them away as he retreated from the battle scene.
The forms of the two fighters could no longer be distinguished, all the Immortals could see were beams of white and golden lights and a beam of light golden light colliding into each other. They were also unclear as to who was having the upper hand.
”This is great little boy, how lovely to be able to do battle with you! Haha!”
A burst of fanatical laughter came from within the battle grounds. It was White Tiger yelling loudly in the heat of battle. ”Little boy, I have yet to meet a foe who could be my rival in these past few decades. You really are something, boy, haha!”
Zhou Bao laughed to himself. His skills were not bad, actually, they were excellent. But, in such close combat, whether in terms of the will to fight or grasp of strategy, or adapting to the unexpected, he must admit that he paled in comparison to White Tiger.
This scoundrel's has skill but no fighting plans at all. He fights likely invincible, his strategy of attacking is not to have any specific moves.
Zhou Bao had merged his most powerful techniques, the Thirteen Punches of Desolation and Tai Chi Fist into one consolidated fighting style. There were laws for the use of techniques, much like the rotation of the stars in the sky are driven by the great ways. But he seemed unable to keep White Tiger's attacks at bay. Ultimately he could only defend his home turf. Using Tai Chi's soft motions and entanglement to the best of his ability was the only way to avoid a huge defeat.
”You have good skills, boy. It's a shame you don't have much experience in engaging in battles. You must have only ever used your cultivation and celestial devices to bully others!” White Tiger was fighting as fervently as ever, and had already experienced all of Zhou Bao's techniques. He began to relax.
”What if I did!” Zhou Bao felt his chest constricting. He felt extremely uncomfortable and his voice revealed his discomfort. ”I have so many magic weapons, such powerful skills, what do you care? Hmph!”
He grunted!
While he was talking, White Tiger saw his opportunity. He threw a fist and grazed his shoulder, breaking his Protective Gang Qi with a solid steel thrust and struck his body.
Recoiling in intense pain, Zhou Bao activated the Three Realms Division. Within moments, he was transported from the battle scene. He raised his hands and let forth two Great Fusion Technics and one Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
”Too many complicated tricks is not necessarily a good thing!” After suffering the Great Fusion Technique, White Tiger was prepared. After a few flashes , his form became charged like lightning. ”If you had concentrated on the method of the fist power, maybe you would not be humiliated today.”
”How I proceed is no concern of yours!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly, his body glistening in the light, and he moved forward to challenge him. ”I want to see if your fists are stronger than my magic weapon!” Bang!
White Tiger's fists swept through the air. Zhou Bao dodged and hit out. His energy was not totally spent yet. He hit the ground with a huge bang and left a large crater. At the same time a thin cyan mist suddenly appeared and spread around Zhou Bao's body.
”What? What is this?” White Tiger said, feeling confused. The mist was all around him, its soft layers fell around him like a veil, and gave him a very uneasy feeling.
Without thinking, he drew back as his Gang Qi emerged and formed into a white tiger phantom, charging at Zhou Bao, and disappeared into the mist.
The mist gave out ripples which enveloped White Tiger in soft layers. The phantom had yet to charge a few steps in the mist, when he suddenly disappeared, leaving just a trace of dim pink light.
”Peach Blossom Miasma!”
White Tiger's eyeballs were about to pop out of his face. How did this scoundrel happen to have such a sinister weapon? You should know, the Peach Blossom Miasma does not just dissolve a person's Gang Qi, it causes harm to the actual essence as well.
White Tiger's Gang, although powerful, was swept away by the miasma and disappeared in a few breaths.
”This miasma is really amazing. If I suck it up with my black hole, the black hole will be able to swallow things and gain even greater power!”
Fist intent has an air of mystery about it, but is actually an instantiation the ways of combat. For example, Zhou Bao's black hole represents the ability to absorb and transform the opponent's energy. The fist intent is just to push Zhou Bao's powers of absorption to the limit.
Another example is the planets within Zhou Bao's fist intent. They were just his fists, but within his fist intent, they were at their strongest, having the power to overturn and destroy anything.
If the Peach Blossom Miasma was merged into his black hole, it would not only be able to absorb regular powers but it can also absorb real essence. Its threat would be much greater.
Zhou Bao wondered how he could use the black hole against the miasma. On the other hand, the look on White Tiger's face was uncertain. Zhou Bao was too strong, this simply could not be the cultivation level of a twenty year old kid.
The bystanders were thoroughly impressed by Zhou Bao .
But he was not a bystander, he was White Tiger. One of the figures of the Immortal Palace. His thoughts were different from normal people.
It was not normal for someone who was not even twenty yet to possess this kind of power, in fact it was extremely abnormal.
Even if he had the reputation of that of a legendary trouble maker, it was still not normal.
White Tiger was also a trouble maker in his day, but he had his limits. When he was cultivating level nine, however, his combat ability was equal to an Individual Immortal in the blood-changing phase. But, now his cultivation was at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. His true strength would have been like that of a Genuine Immortal for quite some time if he hadn't been suppressing the accumulation, and preparing for a one-time try at the sixth Thunder Tribulation. If he had achieved a golden body, he would have passed long ago.
That being so, his own combat ability was still like that of a first Thunder Tribulation Genuine Immortal like Taihai Sage and was more like a level two Venerable One.
This kind of power had been on the same level with that of a Level Nine Expert.
He still hadn't played his last card, but neither had Zhou Bao!
So, this was definitely not normal!
