Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 660 Two Consecutive Wins

Chapter 660: Chapter 660 Two Consecutive Wins

Both fighters were not pushing themselves to the limit, so the battle seemed very much at a stalemate.

Shi Hao was comprehending the essence of swordsmanship.

Having witnessed the Sword Emperor’s technique and crossed swords with several geniuses who had mastered the third realm of swordsmanship, Shi Hao already had deep insights, but was lacking an opportunity for reflection.

Now, he was honing his sword technique through Liu Hongda, making steady progress bit by bit.

This fight was too drawn out and didn’t have the refreshing decisiveness of the first battle, causing much of the audience to grow impatient.

Why hasn’t the victory been decided yet?

"How many years will they keep entwining like this?"

"Hmph, neither willing to go all out. Are they afraid of revealing their ultimate moves?"

Many in the crowd started to jeer, and if not for the formation separating the combat area, they would have thrown banana peels and rotten eggs.

Liu Hongda also realized something was amiss.

How come Shi Hao’s Soul Power still hasn’t been exhausted?

Even if you haven’t used Soul Power, wielding such a heavy weapon, are you made of iron to have such astonishing endurance?

He gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat strained himself.

This couldn’t continue; he’d be the first to give out.

Fine then.

With a harrumph, he sacrificed his Divine Temple and pressed down towards Shi Hao.

For the Supplementing Divine Temple, this was the quickest method to overpower the Founding King Court; however, given Shi Hao’s previous brilliant display, Liu Hongda was also wary about carelessly revealing his Divine Temple — if it were to be destroyed, the loss would be tremendous.

Boom, a pale purple Divine Temple hovered in the air, emitting an extremely strong aura.

For the Founding King Court, such suppression was absolute.

Shi Hao merely smiled faintly and sacrificed his Royal Court as well.

Come on, who’s afraid?

Damn!

Suddenly, everyone in the arena was dumbstruck, unable to believe their own eyes.

Is this the Royal Court?

Damn, is this really the Royal Court?

Everyone knows that Royal Courts come one by one; producing one Court is equivalent to being a First King, and nine seats correspond to the Ninth King. This is an iron law of martial arts and common sense — who wouldn’t know?

But now, a four-tiered Royal Court had appeared.

My God, what kind of monster is this?

The Prime Minister almost stood up, but being a practitioner of the Great Sacrificial Heaven with deep reserves of self-control, he quickly suppressed the impulse.

Watching Shi Hao, he finally understood Tai Da’s actions.

This young man was too miraculous. If he could continue down his path, reaching a Saintly Position, and even the Heaven Connecting Road was possible. Moreover, he was the kind of invincible powerhouse who would dominate his peers.

With such a strong person as support, why would the Heavenly Frost Country’s future not be bright?

His heart stirred with a thought; now that he had seen this opportunity, he naturally couldn’t miss it. To invest while the other party was still weak made sense — otherwise, once Shi Hao became a colossal figure, why would he care about a mere Great Sacrificial Heaven?

No wonder Your Majesty went to such lengths to offer such favor. If Shi Hao could enter the Ancient World and seize that opportunity, how could he not be grateful to Tai Da?

And for Tai Da, the matter was completely beneficial without cost since the Heavenly Frost Country had not been without individuals entering the Ancient World before. So what gains had they made?

Pitifully little!

Liu Hongda was also utterly shocked, staring dumbfounded at Shi Hao’s Royal Court, forgetting to continue his attack.

After a moment of stupor, he bellowed and, wielding the Divine Temple, smashed down towards Shi Hao once again.

Boom!

The Divine Temple collided with the Royal Court, unleashing intense fluctuations, and Liu Hongda’s face immediately changed.

The tiles of the Divine Temple shattered upon the harsh impact, significantly damaged.

However, Shi Hao’s Royal Court remained intact, without so much as a scratch.

This!

It turned out that the Royal Court was not as simple as a mere four-layer stack, but truly possessed immense power.

Shi Hao let out a hearty laugh, he didn’t mind showing off a bit of his strength.

Boom!

The Royal Court transformed into a dazzling fist, hurtling towards Liu Hongda.

What the heck, can the Royal Court even be used like this?

Everyone was dumbfounded, the Royal Court was of soul level, naturally used for attacking the soul or the Soul Sea, but shaping it into a fist, using it like an iron punch, was that even appropriate?

One must know that once the soul is damaged, it can greatly affect one’s realm, even affecting future cultivation progress.

Liu Hongda sneered inwardly, so you’re actually using your Royal Court to attack me, truly asking for trouble.

Fine, I’ll indulge you!

Whoosh, he whipped his Silk Sword, entwining it around the Court’s Fist, its sharpness combined with the Elemental Power he channeled, could cause heavy damage to the soul.

Crack!

The Silk Sword wrapped around the Court’s Fist; Liu Hongda pulled hard, intending to split the fist in two, but found he couldn’t tighten it no matter how hard he tried.

This fist was too solid; he simply couldn’t cut through it.

How could this be?

This was just a soul-constructed fist, not a real iron fist, how could it possess such an unyielding texture?

Boom, the fist continued its descent.

Liu Hongda was shocked, momentarily setting aside his astonishment at Shi Hao’s incredibly powerful Royal Court, and hurried to meet it with a fist of his own.

Thud!

With just one punch, Liu Hongda was mercilessly smashed into the ground.

The topmost layer of this combat arena was paved with mud, but underneath was extremely hard stone material, along with protective formations in place to ensure that the residual effects of the fights wouldn’t harm the innocent or collapse the entire arena.

Therefore, only Liu Hongda’s upper half was pounded into the dirt, while his lower half remained exposed.

Thud, in the next instant, Liu Hongda burst forth from the ground.

However, another punch from Shi Hao hammered down.

The fist shone brightly, as if it was engulfed in the light of countless stars.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Liu Hongda took the blows head-on, now prepared, he put all his effort into each strike, yet the Court’s Fist was too terrifying—the Dwarf Star Dharma Aspect gave it an unstoppable strength, while the Black Hole Dharma Aspect could absorb vast amounts of energy, rendering it increasingly indestructible.

With the ten aspects united, each punch drew upon a massive amount of the Power of Heaven and Earth, enhancing its already formidable might.

Punch after punch, Liu Hongda began to falter.

The power of this fist was too strong, and crucially, trading blows with the Court’s Fist had no benefit in securing victory; Shi Hao felt not even the slightest repercussion, the ease was almost too much.

If this were to continue, his defeat was certain.

He couldn’t believe it; a mighty warrior from the Supplementing Divine Temple beaten by a Founding King’s Royal Court?

Though there had been precedents, a large part of Bao Fen’s loss was due to his carelessness, and him?

Had he underestimated the opponent even after witnessing Bao Fen’s defeat?

Impossible.

He was simply outmatched by Shi Hao.

What kind of monster was this guy, not only capable of bridging a huge gap in realms during a fight, but also emerging victorious.

After taking several more hits, he had to admit defeat.

If he conceded now, he could still retain some dignity, but to drag it out further would lead to utter humiliation.
