205 Battling Dharma (2/2)

”Ridiculous!”

Zhong Ya glanced at this sight and laughed coldly. ”Do you really think your attack can truly fight the power of a Dharma's inner Yuan?”

Just as Zhong Ya had spoken, the black raven on his body let out a piercing and high-pitched shout. This exclamation was ear-shattering and caused all who were present to feel almost deafened. For those who were standing close to this scene, these adepts even started to bleed and some even died on the spot.

This only added another layer of tension to the already tense atmosphere.

...

The black raven gave off an extremely aggressive aura, and it was vibrating tremulously as well. This aura was given off in all directions like a first attack wave and turned the entire Feast of Ziyun into chaos. Chen Dandan, who was standing on the high stage, was flung into the distance. With a shout, she spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly ran to escape as her face turned pale.

”Run!”

”Let's run far, far away, lest we become casualties of this fight!”

...

Apart from the people of the four great sects, who were still watching the fight, others began to quickly leave the scene.

Although the people of the big sects had not left, a group of Primal Core adepts had reached out their hands collectively to unleash their inner Yuan, creating a shield layer to protect the other adepts of their respective sects.

Their collective inner Yuan was still somewhat able to provide a respectable cover against the black raven's power.

”This is the extent of a Dharma adept's power!? Zhou Donghuang is doomed for sure!”

When Chen Dandan had run to a far distance, she stopped again to watch the scene. Although she was now in an extremely ragged state, when she raised her head to glance at the skies once more, her face was still filled with excitement as if she had already witnessed Zhou Donghuang being killed by Zhong Ya.

”Once a Dharma adept has grasped his Dharma power, one definitely needs to train hard to allow that power to become full and intact.”

Zhou Donghuang's words suddenly filled the air just as the eighteen wings of the fan attacked like swords in the direction of the black raven's body.

”If I'm not wrong... Not only have you not trained your Dharma power, but you also haven't even identified the cracks in your Dharma power yet, am I right?”

These words by Zhou Donghuang angered Zhong Ya slightly when he heard them. Zhong Ya furrowed his brow slightly before relaxing again. ”Young man, it's not your place to lecture me!”

”If my Dharma power is not intact, feel free to attack me and see for yourself!”

Clearly, Zhong Ya did not believe a word that Zhou Donghuang had uttered.

Ping!

Ping!

Ping!

...

At this moment, the fan by Zhou Donghuang completely split into its eighteen wings. Encompassing solid silver inner Yuan, some of it shot out and landed simultaneously on Zhong Ya's black raven.

In this first wave of attack, the majority of the eighteen wings were easily blocked by the black raven's wings.

Twelve remaining beams were shot out. Six landed on the black raven's body again, while four did not create any significant damage to the black raven. As for the last 2 beams, however, once they had landed on the black raven, they caused him to let out a shout of anguish.

”This is not good!”

In that instant where Zhong Ya heard the black raven call out, he began to feel a force of repulsion travel quickly from the black raven's body to within him, causing his entire body to swell internally.

An instant later, the shock made him tremble violently as well.

”Wah…”

Witnessing this first exchange, the audience could not help but cry out in shock. The black raven had now shrunk from being one-foot tall to merely being five-meters tall. Furthermore, Zhong Ya was now spitting out a large amount of blood. His face turned as pale as paper and his entire being seemed to have aged greatly all at once.

”What an embarrassment for a Dharma adept!”

Just as Zhong Ya was damaged and spitting out blood, Zhou Donghuang had already arrived before him. By raising his hands, the eighteen wings of the fan returned to him and reformed into a singular fan.

”I thought hitting one of the weak spots in your inner Yuan would be quite lucky... Instead, I managed to hit two of them!

”You're really weaker than I thought you were.”

Zhou Donghuang's body's silver flames exploded like a ball of fire and directly flew towards Zhong Ya, who was badly injured.

The black raven was now unable to fend off any attacks.

”How is this possible!?”

Zhong Ya had never imagined that he would be so badly injured in the mere first round of battle. He was also not ready for the attack by Zhou Donghuang, which was apparently able to overcome that of a Dharma adept.

”Is my Dharma power truly lacking in some ways?”

Just as he was mumbling to himself, Zhong Ya realized that Zhou Donghuang was coming forward with an attack yet again. This time, he did not use the fan in his hand but instead rushed forward with his whole body.

”Even if I'm injured, it's still enough to summon up some remaining power... I have to kill you and end this whole saga properly!”

Zhong Ya's face was stony and cold, and the shortened black raven began to withdraw. It formed a thick and solid layer of black light around Zhong Ya, like a layer of black armor.

Dharma armor.

This was one of the main methods a Dharma adept could use in war. The Dharma power could be used to surround the body as a defense lawyer and utilize the Dharma adept's inner Yuan at a shockingly fast speed.

Of course, when a normal Dharma adept attacked others, it would be using Dharma power to create explosive attacks, and many seldom bothered with the Dharma armor, which was more of a defensive move.

However, the method used by Zhou Donghuang had already scared Zhong Ya enough, and he was now more concerned that Zhou Donghuang would exploit more of his Dharma power's weaknesses instead!
