Chapter 824 - Fireflies
The Sovereign's Ascension
So far, no one had luck against the three kings. Jiang Ziye was easily dealt with by Zhao Wuji and Yue Weiwei was miserably defeated by Yu Haotian. However, Fang Hanluo was a little different. Although Lin Yun defeated him even after ten moves, he still surprised many people throughout the banquet. After all, no one made as many breakthroughs in cultivation as he did while fighting.
After losing to Lin Yun, Fang Hanluo was certainly going to come back stronger. No one was sure how he would fare since no one had seen Yan Longâziâs full strength. His only fight was against Yue Weiwei, who toyed with him because of the pavilion masterâs interference.
Since Lin Yun was sitting with the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, he was able to hear how confident they were in Yan Longâzi. Lin Yun was certain that Fang Hanluo still had a few trump cards, so he thought the outcome of the battle was uncertain.
Yan Longâzi looked at Fang Hanluo and smiled sinisterly, âBrat, if you want to participate in the other fights, I advise you to surrender. Iâm very unhappy right now and Iâm afraid I canât control my temper!â
âI can sense your rage. I wouldnât be happy if I were in your position either,â chuckled Fang Hanluo.
When Yan Longâzi heard that, fire blazed in his heart as his face sank. He angrily barked, âCome on then! You can consider it my loss if I donât cripple you!â
âThat will depend on your capability.â Fang Hanluo started to circulate his Indigo Frost Battle Physique and frost intent at the same time.
âFlame Dragon Fist!â Yan Longâziâs eyes flickered with disdain. Although he wasnât using his strongest attack, the power was still very shocking. The flames surrounding his fist formed a massive dragon that shattered Fang Hanluoâs aura.
âFrost Star Explosion!â Seeing this, Fang Hanluo retaliated with a punch of his own.
The chill from Fang Hanluoâs punch caused Yan Longâziâs flames to die down a bit. At the same time, the chill spread to Yan Longâziâs body and started to cover him in a layer of ice. But a dazzling brilliance exploded from Yan Longâziâs fist as golden flames surging around him.
Very quickly, Fang Hanluo and his intent were sent backwards.
Yan Longâzi snorted at the flying Fang Hanluo and attacked again. Fang Hanluo didnât dare to belittle this punch and pushed his Indigo Frost Battle Physique to the limit as he collided with the flames.
When Yan Longâziâs punch landed on Fang Hanluo, an explosion occurred. But when the dust settled, Fang Hanluo was unscathed. He used his movement technique to negate most of the force and easily took Yan Longâziâs attack head-on.
Yan Longâzi merely laughed at this and pounced at Fang Hanluo before the latter could respond. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a dozen moves. Every single one of Yan Longâziâs punches were like volcanic explosions as his flame intent burst out. The terrifying heatwave sent chills down everyoneâs spines.
Ten moves later, Fang Hanluo was sent flying away as his face turned somewhat pale. But thanks to his Indigo Frost Battle Physique, he didnât suffer any injuries. Many people were shocked that Fang Hanluo was still unharmed.
âYou think your little trick can fool me? Itâs nothing before absolute strength,â said Yan Longâzi. Naturally, all of the three kings noticed Fang Hanluoâs movement technique, but they didnât think much of it.
âBut clearly, youâre unable to injure me,â grinned Fang Hanluo as he soared into the sky. Using his strongest attack, Heavenly Frost Annihilation, Fang Hanluo threw one more punch at Yan Longâzi. Insanity appeared on his face as he pushed his cultivation to the limit while a blizzard brewed in the sky.
Once the powerful blizzard arrived, cracks began to spread out on the barrier. Yan Longâziâs flame intent wasnât as overbearing as Lin Yunâs Azure Dragon Sword Aura, so he couldnât instantly destroy the attack. In fact, it was more troublesome for him to deal with Fang Hanluoâs attacks.
âHow annoying!â Yan Longâzi finally lost his patience and crimson light flickered in his pupils. His energy began to roar violently within his body. The power accumulated in his body instantly reached ten cauldrons worth of strength and continued to rise.
However, the scariest part was that no one could sense his strength accumulating. Normally, gathering strength and origin energy would create a commotion, but not for Yan Longâzi.
Lin Yun looked at this scene with surprise in his heart. He could tell that Yan Longâzi was setting up a trap for Fang Hanluo.
In mid-air, Fang Hanluo watched Yan Longâzi dodge his attacks with excitement in his eyes. He wanted to increase his advantage, so he used his frost intent to suppress Yan Longâziâs flame intent while blocking his path.
âTerranean Blizzardâ Fang Hanluoâs origin energy exploded with dazzling brilliance coming from his body. With his Indigo Frost Battle Physique at its limit, his punch reached Yan Longâzi in the blink of an eye.
But in the next second, Fang Hanluo was sent flying even faster than when he attacked Yan Longâzi. A terrifying shockwave blasted Fang Hanluo away as countless cracks appeared on the barrier. At the same time, many of the spectators were spitting up blood.
Yan Longâziâs upper body was exposed, revealing explosive muscles like that of a ferocious beast. A layer of gold covered every inch of his body after he unleashed his power. His punch that sent Fang Hanluo flying had 100 cauldrons worth of strength and was empowered by a wisp of the flame dragonâs bloodline. After waiting for the right opportunity, his accumulated strength successfully exploded onto Fang Hanluo.
The entire stage was swaying as the shockwave continued to ripple in the air. The shocking thing was that Yan Longâzi was only using his brute strength and not his origin energy.
Suddenly, Yan Longâzi stomped his foot on the ground and shot towards Fang Hanluo. He lifted the latter with one arm and tossed him across the stage.
He didnât bother to use any fancy tricks and showed his dominance through brute strength. The impact of the toss even created a huge crater on the ground.
âLike I said, your little tricks are useless before absolute strength.â Yan Longâzi smiled sinisterly like a wild beast. His nature was just like a violent and brutal demonic beast. After all, only a beast would rely on brute strength while ignoring martial techniques, martial intent, and movement techniques of the opponent.
Is he dead? At this moment, everyone worried for Fang Hanluoâs life. After all, his Indigo Frost Battle Physique was broken before Yan Longâzi tossed him. In fact, there was a high possibility that he might just be a pile of meat now.
But right at this moment, a powerful sword intent soared into the sky as countless fireflies began to gather in the crater. Simultaneously, everyone could hear a buzzing noise from the stage.
âQuasi-spiritual sword intent!â Many Sacred Allianceâs elders exclaimed when they noticed this scene.
