818 A Fierce Fight Against an Earthly Immortal II (1/2)
Tinkle!
The fresh tinkling sound took Emperor Hulong by surprise!
The instant Zhou Bao's attack hit the space between the eyebrows of Emperor Hulong, it turned into a strong and sharp Sword Qi, which stabbed strongly at its target. Colorful brilliance suddenly radiated from Emperor Hulong.
”Bang!”
The colorful brilliance blocked the Sword Qi, but Emperor Hulong's expression altered drastically and he stumbled backwards helplessly. The colorful jade between his eyebrows was smashed into pieces by Zhou Bao's attack.
By now, Zhou Bao had already slipped into the space where Emperor Hulong was, like a fish swimming in water. The purple bamboo stick in his hand did not stop its attacks. It squirted a jet of black and red Sword Qi, which hurtled towards Emperor Hulong.
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!
”Whoosh!”
When Emperor Hulong saw Zhou Bao charging at him, he forced himself to concentrate and his angry face turned very grim. Anyway, he was an Earthly Immortal and a prestigious Earthly Immortal at that. Although he had somehow misjudged Zhou Bao's strength, now that Zhou Bao was fighting back relentlessly, he had no choice but to regard Zhou Bao as a serious enemy and continue to fight.
”Great timing!” Seeing the Sword Qi rushing at him, Emperor Hulong did not panic. Being an Earthly Immortal, he naturally could find something to counterattack. He raised his right hand and a small round-shaped, ancient-looking mirror appeared on his palm and faced the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi.
The Sword Blade Storm!
Although Zhou Bao did not know what the small mirror was, he was prepared for this. In a fraction of a second, the supple Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi transformed into innumerable tiny swords. Just before they were about to collide with the mirror, they parted ways and charged at Emperor Hulong from both sides.
”Humph!” Facing such a sudden change, Emperor Hulong did not even blink his eyes. On the road to becoming an Earthly Immortal, he had endured numerous fights and survived numerous plights. Now, this little trick was not worth his attention. The ancient-looking mirror in his hand suddenly emitted a white light which engulfed him in its blazing radiance.
”Something went wrong!” Zhou Bao thought, his heart thumping. Sure enough, when the Sword Blade Storm hit the white light, no collision occurred. Instead, the Sword Blade Storm winced, and then, steered back and soared towards Zhou Bao.
”I know it's a trick!” At this point, Zhou Bao felt that he had lost control over the Sword Qi of his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. The white light had mysterious powers and it severed the connection between himself and the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi. As the Sword Blade Storm fired back, Emperor Hulong shifted his mirror to another direction and a jet of light shot straight at Zhou Bao.
”Good for me!” Facing both the Sword Blade Storm and light, Zhou Bao did not avoid them at all. He wielded the purple bamboo stick and swiveled it in different directions from time to time and the Sword Blade Storm was easily dismissed. Meanwhile, the light from the mirror had also dispersed. But due to its great power, Zhou Bao staggered backwards under the forceful impact.
”You do know some tricks. However, it's far from enough to beat me!” Seeing how easily Zhou Bao fended off his attacks, Emperor Hulong was a bit surprised. But that was not just a fluke, which showed that he needed to take this guy seriously.
Once he got serious, the opponent would no longer have any chance to snatch a victory.
This time, Emperor Hulong really got down to business. He stretched his fingers and appeared to be pressing down hard on Zhou Bao.
”Good!”
Zhou Bao bellowed and once again held up his purple bamboo stick and thrust it at his hand.
”Boom!”
Before Emperor Hulong's right hand landed upon him, a sense of numbness struck Zhou Bao and he nearly lost his grip on his purple bamboo stick, which seemed about to fly out of his hand. He felt like he had collided with a mountain with an ordinary body and fell back in horror.
”Let go!” When Emperor Hulong saw that Zhou Bao was still holding on to the purple bamboo stick after taking this blow, he was quite taken aback. But soon, he sped up the pressure of his palm and let out a howl, aiming to force Zhou Bao to let go of his hold. This purple bamboo stick really impressed him. It had easily broken his Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle, so it must not be inferior to the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle.
After all, he needed something to replace the broken Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle.
When he heard the howl, Zhou Bao also shouted out his curses. His lean body suddenly grew tall and muscular; the Mysterious Icy Divine Light inside him rapidly poured into the purple bamboo stick, which stabbed at Emperor Hulong's palm.
”Boom!”
Storms stirred up and the space fell apart!
Zhou Bao and Emperor Hulong both stepped backwards at the same time. Of course, it was Zhou Bao who suffered more harm. Under the enormous power of Emperor Hulong, dozens of Zhou Bao's bones were broken and his tendons and meridians were also badly injured. After being thrown thousands of miles away, he finally managed to stabilize his body. Then, he launched the Seven Wonderful Techniques and healed all his injuries. Very soon, he regained his vigor.
Emperor Hulong only took three steps backwards, but his expression was dark—his palm was prickling. The stab really hurt him.
