Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Ferocious Dragon Crossing the River

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This guy really lit up at the sight of money, his heart racing the moment he saw treasure.

However, although Shi Taiyan had put out a reward, you still need to win to claim it.

Did you win?

If you lose, not only will you not get the Spirit Fruit, but you’ll also be crippled.

So, where is this confidence coming from?

Shi Taiyan was also startled, not expecting Shi Hao to leap onto the arena so directly.

But since you’ve entered the arena, what happens next is not up to you anymore.

"The biggest mistake of your life," he said indifferently, "is stepping onto this arena."

Boom!

As a response to him, Shi Hao threw a punch, his Dark Force wrapped in flames, morphing into a massive Flame Fist that smashed towards Shi Taiyan.

"Insignificant trick!" Shi Taiyan waved casually, confronting the Fire Fist.

He too unleashed his Dark Force, but didn’t employ the Elemental Power, believing he could simply shatter Shi Hao’s Dark Force and the flames would lose their power once their support was gone.

Bang, the two forces of Dark Force collided, and Shi Taiyan was astonished to find that his own Dark Force was crushed!

What!

Though he had struck casually, what was his cultivation level?

Six Islands, and furthermore, a genius who could fight above his level, his casual strike couldn’t neutralize Shi Hao’s attack?

Hiss, what exactly was this young man’s cultivation level?

Boom, the Fire Fist approached, immense and overwhelming.

Shi Taiyan struck out again, this time he was different, using his full strength, he easily dispersed the Flame Fist.

However, the audience around were shocked.

Facing Shi Hao’s strike, Shi Taiyan actually needed to launch two palms to dissolve it?

This this this, it showed how strong Shi Hao’s strength was, far beyond their imagination!

In a high-rise building, Han Liren sat by the window, his position offering a clear view of the happenings on the arena.

He couldn’t help but smile, worthy indeed of being the grand disciple of his respected master, his combat power truly astonishing.

From that strike alone, he could judge that even if Shi Hao’s combat power was not as good as Shi Taiyan’s, the difference was slight.

All he needed to do was let Shi Hao fight Shi Taiyan for a hundred exchanges, then he would step in to stop the fight, ensuring that Shi Hao wouldn’t lose face.

——Being so young and able to exchange blows with Shi Taiyan, what more could one ask for?

Shi Taiyan brushed off his hands as a signal that the previous strike had no impact on him, merely a trifle. Looking at Shi Hao, he said lightly, "It seems I underestimated you."

Shi Hao shook his head, "I, on the other hand, overestimated you."

Shi Taiyan finally showed anger. If Shi Hao had been incapable of withstanding a single blow, any grand statement he made would have been self-humiliating. But now, things were different; with one strike, the opponent declared his strength to the world.

So, such words carried a weight of lethality.

"Seeking death!" Shi Taiyan barked, charging at Shi Hao.

This time, he finally got serious, his hands wrapped in a layer of golden light.

He was of the Metal Spirit Root, summoning the Gold Element to strengthen his attacks, making them near invincible.

Shi Hao showed no intention of dodging.

Already at the Second Island, why should he fear an attack?

He vibrated his fists, enveloping them in flames, swinging to meet Shi Taiyan’s attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two combatants exchanged blows, their impacts rippling through the air, luckily the stone used for the arena was snowflake rock, highly durable, or else it couldn’t withstand the clashing of two Other Shore experts and would have crumbled long ago.

The audience astonishingly found that the power of the two fighters was equal, and their Elemental Powers were also nearly matched.

But in such a closely matched situation, the effect of the elemental mutual overcoming became apparent.

Fire conquers Metal!

Therefore, Shi Taiyan frequently encountered trouble, his Gold Element was melted by the Fire Element, posing a threat to him.

Although this threat was actually very small, he just needed to replenish some Elemental Power to counter it, this did not change the fact that he was currently at a disadvantage.

This was something he could not accept.

He was Shi Taiyan, one of the Four Great Geniuses, yet he was at a disadvantage against a nobody?

It was an immense humiliation.

Absolutely unacceptable!

With a light shout, he activated a Martial Technique, and suddenly, his entire body shone with golden light, as if he had transformed into a golden-bodied Arhat.

Boom, his combat power soared in an instant.

Martial Technique?

Shi Hao smiled faintly, unfolding the Eight Extremes Fierce Fire Fist, and clashed head-on with Shi Taiyan.

Then, Shi Taiyan was shocked to find that his disadvantage had grown even larger.

Before, it was just a slight disadvantage, but now? A huge one!

Shi Hao’s fists were too domineering, powerful and relentless, the might of his flames boundless, making Shi Taiyan somewhat apprehensive to face it head-on.

Shi Taiyan was extremely shocked. His combat power was close to that of the Nine Islands, yet now he was being suppressed by a young man under twenty. How exactly had the other cultivated?

So young, yet possessing a cultivation that matched his own!

"Sword come!" he uttered lightly, and a three-foot-long cyan blade appeared in his hand.

Swordsmanship, that was his true strong suit.

"To force Shi Taiyan to draw his sword, this youth is really extraordinary."

"But, this is as far as it goes."

"Mm, Shi Taiyan with a sword and without a sword, has wholly different combat power."

"He’s a genius close to mastering the second realm of Sword Dao!"

Seeing this, everyone was stirred up, now the real fight was beginning.

Shi Taiyan held his sword in front of his chest, his whole demeanor solemn and calm, yet emitting a startling Sword Intent.

At the end of the first realm of Sword Dao, sword in hand, sword in heart, man is the sword, sword is the man.

Shi Hao was utterly unconcerned. The pinnacle of the first realm? So weak.

With a mild rebuke, Shi Taiyan lunged at Shi Hao with his sword.

This stroke was like a stroke of genius, an antelope hanging by its horns, leaving no trace to follow.

Everyone just saw a flash of cold light, and the tip of the sword had already reached Shi Hao’s neck.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out as the long sword was blocked; it was seen that Shi Hao now had a saber in hand, parrying the blade.

Hissss, such a stunning sword move was actually blocked?

Shi Taiyan looked at Shi Hao in disbelief. He had almost penetrated the first realm of Sword Dao, beginning to break free from the constraints of the swordsmanship, with only Sword Intent that was changeable yet still as powerful.

And yet, Shi Hao had easily blocked it!

He couldn’t accept it, on what basis?

Shi Hao chuckled and swung his saber in a counterattack against Shi Taiyan.

Hum, as Saber Intent surged, all those around who bore weapons followed in motion, as if bowing in reverence to him.

"Heavens!"

"The second realm of Saber Dao!"

"No wonder Shi Taiyan’s sword thrust was blocked. He has mastered the second realm of Saber Dao, naturally overpowering."

"What is this, how old is this guy? Not only does he not lose to Shi Taiyan in martial arts realm, but even in the mastery of Dao, he has actually surpassed Shi Taiyan."

The crowd exclaimed, each feeling a tingling on their scalps.

Before this, they all thought Shi Hao had been kicked in the head by a donkey to have agreed to a decisive battle with Shi Taiyan, but now they realized this was a true dragon!
