Chapter 427 - 418: Fierce Battle with Baili Qi (4th Update)

Chapter 427: Chapter 418: Fierce Battle with Baili Qi (4th Update)

The splendid arrows flew like meteors, emitting a radiance that spanned thousands of feet, the sound of the air tearing reverberated across the entire battlefield, sending chills to the heart.

"Hmm?"

Almost simultaneously, the gazes of many people turned toward the direction of the whistling sound.

They could soon see the arrow, dragging a long tail of airflow behind it, its astonishing presence permeating the air as it shot towards Baili Qi in midair.

Crack!

Baili Qi sensed it too, narrowing his eyes slightly with flashes of cold light. The air surged around him, and a black aura spread from his body, transforming into an unparalleled giant blade that shattered the incoming arrow.

Immediately afterward, he looked towards the direction the arrow had come from and eventually saw Mo Wangchen on the ground below, holding the Divine Bow, with a cold and stern face looking up at him.

"Who is that person?"

"Looking at his attire, he seems to be a Demon Hunter from our Heavenly Gang side."

"His aura is very weak; it seems he hasn’t even reached the Saint Venerable Realm, and he dares to provoke Baili Qi?"

"Isn’t he probably blinded by those million battle achievements? Even Dugu Wushang was just slain by Baili Qi; without the peak powers of the Saint Venerable from our Heavenly Gang side, who could take down Baili Qi?"

The interactions across the battlefield momentarily ceased for an instant, and almost everyone’s gaze fell upon Mo Wangchen. After their initial surprise, they also came to a realization.

"Die!"

In midair, Baili Qi sneered coldly, with a murderous intent appearing in his eyes. He, with his cultivation at the fourth layer of the Saint Venerable Realm, had gone through the tempering of four Heavenly Tribulations. His cultivation was formidable, and he didn’t consider Mo Wangchen, who hadn’t even stepped into the Saint Venerable Realm, worthy of attention.

The black aura spread and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a giant dragon, a hundred feet in length, roaring as it came charging. The red eyes of the dragon, like the eyes of the Grim Reaper, struck fear into the hearts of those who beheld them.

Hiss-hiss-hiss!

Mo Wangchen stood his ground, his face showing no fear. He repeatedly shot arrows from his Divine Bow, and over a dozen arrows pierced the void, fiercely shooting towards the descending giant dragon.

A dozen arrows flew out together, and where they passed, currents of air surged ceaselessly.

The next moment, the arrows struck the head of the Demon Dragon, instantly exploding it into pieces.

"Hmph!"

Witnessing this scene, Baili Qi in the sky let out a cold snort, his gaze growing colder. He pinched a Dharma Seal, and in the next moment, three more Demon Dragons appeared.

The Demon Dragons roared towards the sky, carrying a terrifying force of sound waves that instantly killed several figures in the vicinity who were in the midst of battle; they burst into clouds of blood.

Roar!

After roaring, the giant dragon fixed its gaze on Mo Wangchen and dived down. Several people who were unable to dodge in time were struck dead on the spot.

Hum!

From inside Mo Wangchen, a golden little sword flew out, expanding in the blink of an eye to a hundred feet in length. Hanging in the sky, it slashed down as if the entire momentum of heaven and earth churned ceaselessly, fusing into this one strike.

Hiss!

The giant blade slashed down upon a Demon Dragon, splitting it into vapors that dissipated instantly.

Simultaneously, Mo Wangchen’s body leapt into the air, pressing towards Baili Qi. Within his Spirit Sea, the rolling Nirvana Power surged out continuously. He pressed down with a palm, and an enormous hand that covered the sky appeared, slapping another approaching Demon Dragon dead.

Whoosh!

The giant blade slashed down again, this time targeting the third giant dragon. It cleaved the dragon in half at the waist, causing it to explode on the spot.

"Who is this person?"

"His strength isn’t weak, able to briefly exchange blows with Baili Qi."

"That sword must be his Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo, it seems extraordinary. However, to confront Baili Qi, I’m afraid he’s still quite lacking."

Atop the city walls, a group of Heavenly Gang’s powerhouses watched with slight astonishment. Originally, when Mo Wangchen fired his first arrow at Baili Qi, they thought Mo Wangchen would be annihilated by Baili Qi in the blink of an eye.

Yet, they hadn’t expected that the opponent could hold out until now, and at this moment, he was even taking the initiative to press towards Baili Qi.

"Baili Qi has reached the fourth level of the Saint Venerable Realm. Such a character has surely faced Heavenly Tribulation with each breakthrough, enduring the tempering of four Heavenly Tribulations. His cultivation and body can’t be described as anything but formidable. Engaging him in close quarters combat probably isn’t the wisest move."

The people in front of them also had their eyes on Mo Wangchen, and Emperor Xingtian’s gaze fell upon Mo Wangchen. His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke indifferently.

Hearing these words, almost everyone nodded in agreement. In their view, rather than engaging in close combat with Baili Qi, it would be better to rely on that giant sword for long-range attacks, which might allow for a brief contest.

Boom boom boom!

As they were thinking this, Mo Wangchen had already reached the midair, confronting Baili Qi head-on.

"Court death!"

A cold light flashed in Baili Qi’s eyes as killing intent filled the sky. A vast dark aura spread out from his body, forming into a huge black dragon claw that tore through the void, aiming viciously at Mo Wangchen.

Boom!

A fearsome aura erupted from Mo Wangchen. At that moment, he had unleashed his Holy Rank Divine King Body. Holy Light enveloped his body, with great momentum surging around him. His cloak billowed behind him with the wind, his demeanor ethereal.

He reached out with a palm, and an invisible giant hand emerged instantly, carrying a terrifying force. It eventually collided with that black dragon claw.

As the two clashed, the impact was startling, releasing blinding radiance and shockwaves that spread between Mo Wangchen and Baili Qi, as if even the void itself began to twist.

"Die!"

In a split second, Baili Qi had already closed the gap, his body surrounded by a black aura that made him look extremely sinister. After shouting, his palm contained a terrifying fluctuation that would make one’s scalp tingle, pressing fiercely towards the head of Mo Wangchen.

"Hmph!"

Mo Wangchen snorted coldly, his eyes ice-cold and fearless. He threw a punch head-on, exploding with force.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of the explosion echoed in all directions, earth-shattering. In the instant when Mo Wangchen and Baili Qi collided, space around their bodies shattered, with waves of terrible fluctuations spreading out, as if the whole world was shaking at that moment.

After a single strike, both their bodies were knocked back a hundred yards, each holding their ground.

"How is this possible..."

The powerhouses on the city walls were all dumbfounded, as events unfolded completely unlike what they had anticipated. The young man from the Heavenly Gang didn’t just survive a palm strike; he was actually evenly matched with Baili Qi!

"This youth’s body must have reached the Holy Rank!"

Quickly, Emperor Xingtian, who had been silent up to that point, seemed to realize something.

"A Holy Rank Body?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astounded. Even in their era, someone who had achieved a Holy Rank Body was surely a genius among geniuses, a true dragon amongst men!

While they were in shock, Emperor Xingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "Even with a Holy Rank Body, his cultivation is only at the Nirvana Realm. Logically speaking, at most he should only be able to resist a Saint Venerable of the first or second level..."

"Does this child... possess some kind of special physique?"
