Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Move by Move

Luo Jian finally unleashed his ultimate move, and as he threw his punch, a golden fist the size of a fish tank suddenly materialized, barreling towards Shi Hao.

With the punch thrown, he immediately showed signs of exertion, clearly indicating that sustaining such an attack was not possible for him due to its immense consumption of energy.

Martial Technique.

This certainly involved the use of Dark Force, but its speed far exceeded that of regular Dark Force, as if some power in the heavens and earth was blessing it, making the air resistance to the punch significantly reduced, enhancing the attack speed.

Shi Hao quickly realized that this was the effect of a combination of power and elemental forces, which reduced the resistance of the air to the punch by many folds, resulting in increased attack velocity.

Quite interesting.

——Yuan Chengmie was simply too powerful, he had no need to study such things. With a single palm strike, not to mention shattering a planet, but to annihilate a tenth of a continent was definitely an easy feat for him.

So, with just one blast, the area within ten thousand zhang would surely become a dead zone. What need was there for any technique?

But for Luo Jian, this technique was extremely practical, allowing his attacks to hit the opponent much faster.

Boom, the golden fist, bearing endless might, struck with incredible speed.

Shi Hao could no longer dodge, as not even the Cloud Piercing Step could match such extreme speed.

Then let’s face it head-on!

Shi Hao activated the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, and in an instant, nine lotuses bloomed around his body. When the golden fist struck, a lotus flower blossomed at just the right moment.

Boom, the force of the punch immediately shattered, and as for Shi Hao... he was completely unharmed!

What!

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a tingling on their scalps from shock.

My god, were their eyes playing tricks on them?

Luo Jian’s tremendous strike was actually blocked by Shi Hao, and he didn’t even pay a slight price for it.

Amidst the crowd, Huang Ming was particularly excited, clenching his fists tightly.

Shi Hao let out a long howl and immediately launched a counterattack.

Once the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique was deployed, there was no stopping it—at least he wasn’t capable of doing so yet, so he had to take advantage of this "invincible" period to launch a ferocious assault.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shi Hao leaped forward, throwing consecutive Fire Fists while also drawing upon the Fire Element, transforming it into giant fireballs that he hurled crazily at Luo Jian.

Luo Jian had no choice but to retreat.

The saying goes, ’to shoot the men first, shoot the horses; to capture the thieves first, capture the king’. He also knew that if he could just crush Shi Hao himself, the other’s attacks would naturally dissipate. But the problem was the unpredictably weird layer of lotuses around the opponent, which even blocked his ultimate move, leaving him utterly baffled.

Without clear understanding, he could only retreat.

My god!

The crowd wanted to clutch their heads, what were they witnessing?

Luo Jian was actually retreating.

The top young expert of the Purple Star Sect, even though not a disciple of cultivation, was acknowledged by everyone as qualified to become the next disciple. Such a promising young talent was actually being suppressed in return?

To think that even though Shi Hao was proven to be a "liar", supposedly a master from the Other Shore but at best only possessing the combat power of the second or third Islands.

And yet he could fight with such vigor against those with six or seven realms above him?

Too terrifying.

"I don’t believe this!" After retreating a few steps, Luo Jian could no longer maintain his composure, and he let out a loud shout, bringing his hands together and fiercely slapping them towards Shi Hao, as a bright golden light dazzled brilliantly.

The Power of Gold, the sharpest, symbolizes destruction.

Bang!

The strike hammered onto Shi Hao’s body, and the lotuses burst open, dazzlingly beautiful.

However, Shi Hao remained unharmed.

Boom, Shi Hao’s counterattack also landed, hitting Luo Jian solidly.

However, a layer of light also arose around him, blocking Shi Hao’s strike.

After all, he was from the Nine Islands, and even reserving just a bit of power to protect himself was enough to neutralize Shi Hao’s attack.

Shi Hao didn’t mind and swung his fists again.

"Damn it!" Luo Jian’s previously composed expression had completely vanished, filled now with anger, anxiety, and confusion. Why, when he clearly had the cultivation of the Nine Islands, far stronger than Shi Hao, could he not break through the opponent’s defense?

Although Shi Hao’s attack power was only at the level of the Three Islands, which he could easily dispel, the defensive power was too high, leaving him nothing to do but stare agape.

What to do, just keep dragging out the fight like this?

Where would his face be left then?

No, such defensive ability couldn’t possibly be something cultivated by the opponent, but must involve some sort of secret treasure.

As long as it was a secret treasure, there would definitely be a time when it would be exhausted.

Good, continue the barrage.

Luo Jian kept making moves, bombarding Shi Hao relentlessly.

The scene was incredibly intense, but it had no impact on the outcome.

Because neither of them could break through the other’s defense, no matter how fierce the fighting, it had no effect on them personally.

However, as Shi Hao fought, he threw objects around him.

They were small stones, but he had engraved them with weight-reducing runes.

As Luo Jian’s attacks became more and more violent, the lotuses on Shi Hao started to dissipate one after another.

This gave Luo Jian hope and made him even more certain that Shi Hao had a defensive spiritual weapon on him.

Very well, this spiritual weapon would now belong to him.

Only the last lotus remained.

Luo Jian bombarded wildly, and finally, this lotus also announced its shattering, turning into countless fragments.

"Die!" Luo Jian had reached right in front of Shi Hao, his palms crisscrossed, hammering towards Shi Hao’s chest.

Shi Hao smiled, retreated, and without the defense of the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, he dared not face a Nine Islands head-on.

"You think you can dodge?" Luo Jian sneered.

"Hehe." Shi Hao pointed at Luo Jian with a light tap, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertip, zzt, heading straight for Luo Jian.

How fast is lightning?

At least, it’s something a Nine Islands cannot dodge.

The key was that Luo Jian was utterly unprepared; otherwise, protecting himself with the elemental power, he could have completely neutralized the might of the thunder.

But he was too confident, thinking that this strike would surely settle Shi Hao, resulting in a lapse in defense, and immediately, the lightning made its long march inside, rampaging through his body.

Even so, Luo Jian remained fearless; his attack was already on its way, and Shi Hao would absolutely not dare to counterattack at this moment, and as long as he could catch his breath, he would still be able to lock down the cosmos.

"Come on!" Shi Hao smiled, lifted his hand, and immediately, the ground’s pebbles levitated out of nowhere, glowing with tiny runes.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, directed by Shi Hao’s pointing, the pebbles accelerated at once, hurtling towards Luo Jian.

This instantaneous acceleration reached a terrifying degree, thereby possessing astonishing destructive power.

What?

Luo Jian was shocked, but at that moment, he was in a state of paralysis. How could he defend?

Thud, thud, thud, the gravel coming from the front was shattered by his outgoing attack, but there were very few of them, and many more were coming from the sides, hitting Luo Jian squarely on his body.

"Ahh!" Luo Jian finally let out a scream.

It hurt too much!

The entire place was taken aback.
