Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1572: Slight Upper Hand
Shi Hao looked into the distance and shook his head: "After watching the show for so long, it’s time to come out, why act mysterious?"
"Shi Hao, you truly make people see you in a new light, even exclaim in admiration!" An elderly man appeared, with black hair and a black beard, his build slender and long. Although there was no obvious display of power, he possessed an awe-inspiring aura.
"Greetings, Lord Duankong!" With a glance, Ruan Zhixiong and his companion hurriedly bowed respectfully.
Duankong Immortal King, the direct disciple of Immortal Venerable Beimiao, is a Nine Stars Immortal King!
The two of them were ordered by this important figure to guard the Immortal King Great Medicine here, but their efforts were in vain, allowing Shi Hao to reap a huge benefit.
Shi Hao smiled lightly: "You’re too kind."
Duankong Immortal King didn’t make a move immediately, but instead assessed Shi Hao: "Considering the esteemed figure behind you, if you had just asked, I could have given you this Immortal Elixir. Why resort to such forceful actions?"
This seemed generous, but it was actually meant as a taunt to Shi Hao.
Shi Hao laughed: "Well, thank you then."
What? What?
How can your skin be so thick?
What I said was sarcasm, not genuinely offering you the Immortal Elixir!
He had waited long for this Immortal Elixir to mature, which is a crucial matter that could allow him to perfect his Nine Stars Immortal King cultivation. Once perfected, he could try to coalesce the Heaven and Earth Wheel.
Without the Heaven and Earth Wheel, his title as Nine Stars Immortal King would lack substance, even seeming a bit of a misnomer.
So, could he truly relinquish such a vital treasure simply because Shi Hao wished for it?
He was mocking Shi Hao, who, as a direct disciple of Extinguishing Thunder Immortal Venerable, was engaging in such sneaky actions, bringing shame to Extinguishing Thunder Immortal Venerable!
Yet Shi Hao directly leveraged his words against him, leaving Duankong Immortal King momentarily speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, Duankong Immortal King snorted, saying: "This is the territory of the Bei Miao Sect. You’ve quietly sneaked in to steal something, and this matter will surely be addressed with the Extinguishing Thunder Sect!"
He decisively stopped mentioning the matter of gifting the elixir, acting as if he hadn’t mentioned it.
Alas, face pain is unavoidable, for he cannot give up this Great Medicine.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then said: "My friend, speak thoughtfully. You see, you pretended to be generous just now, but now you’re contradicting yourself. It must be painful!"
Blast it, I wasn’t pretending to be generous; I was mocking you. However, you thick-skinned fellow turned it around, forcing me to swallow my words.
Anyone with some dignity wouldn’t act like this.
Duankong Immortal King deeply inhaled, then said: "You’ve just become an Immortal King, yet you’re so presumptuous. If you’re not properly taught a lesson, what will you become in the future?"
Shi Hao chuckled: "Yes, that’s the right attitude! If you want to fight, just fight. Why all the fuss?"
Unable to hold back, Duankong Immortal King finally raised his hand, sweeping it towards Shi Hao.
A Nine Stars Immortal King’s strike - how terrifying is that?
A sword light swept towards Shi Hao, the earth itself torn up, as if it were doomsday.
Bear in mind, this is a Forbidden Land, where the earth is exceptionally resilient; even a Jade Immortal’s battle could merely shake a few rocks.
Yet a casual sword light from a Nine Stars Immortal King resulted in such catastrophic destruction, demonstrating how formidable this tier is.
Now, Shi Hao surely would be captured, or flee hurriedly.
Ruan Zhixiong and his companion thought this for sure: a Nine Stars Immortal King, a height even such prodigies as them dare not aspire to.
However, they saw Shi Hao surprisingly counterattacking!
What!
They widened their mouths in astonishment, unable to discern what happened next. The fierce battle erupted, terrifyingly, causing every hair to stand on end, knowing any stray shockwave striking them could seal their doom forever.
How could this be?
They were astonished, the fight lasted so long without ending... What did this signify?
Shi Hao is battling fiercely with Duankong Immortal King!
This, this, this!
Could Shi Hao possess the combat power of a Nine Stars Immortal King?
Hiss!
No wonder this guy could defeat a Four Stars Immortal King with one punch; this is undefeated combat power among Immortal Kings!
Recalling Shi Hao’s earlier words, they realized how completely detached from reality they’ve been.
Such a monstrous figure, unheard of to them!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle between two of the strongest Immortal King combat powers, neither using Immortal King Artifacts, reached Nine Stars power. Even with artifacts, it merely increased destructive power, barely augmenting combat ability, insufficient to break limits. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Thus, their battle turned incredibly intense, back and forth, fiercely yet stalemated, neither truly suppressing the other.
Ruan Zhixiong and his companion rendered speechless, gaping blankly, finding everything surreal.
"Ice Storm!" Duankong Immortal King unleashed his ultimate move, an attack with howling icy winds capable of freezing anyone to death.
Immortal Venerable Secret Technique!
Shi Hao lightly smiled, extending his hand to press: "Petrification!"
The incoming attack instantly petrified upon contact, transforming into a solid ice peak, unable to proceed further.
Shi Hao charged forward, swung iron fists, boom, the ice peak shattered into pieces, and he surged ahead, delivering an enraged punch to Duankong Immortal King.
Duankong Immortal King was aghast, utterly shocked that the Immortal Venerable’s ultimate move was so easily neutralized by Shi Hao.
Whoosh, he performed instantaneous movement, evading Shi Hao’s attack.
Then his face flushed red.
Instantaneous movement is normal, but using it first in a balanced battle implies what?
He lacked sufficient combat power, hence relying on instantaneous movement to dodge attacks.
What!
But before Duankong Immortal King could feel shame or anger, Shi Hao appeared before him again, delivering another punch.
How so fast?
Duankong Immortal King was horrified; his instantaneous movement had just ended. Reasonably, the time Shi Hao took to spot him and move should allow for a next instantaneous movement. Yet everything happened too quickly, preventing further moves.
What kind of monster are you?
Nonetheless, the iron fist struck forward.
Duankong Immortal King quickly blocked, but in haste, his ability naturally wasn’t at full force, struck by a punch, he flew backward.
Thankfully, his combat power matched Shi Hao’s, so while shaken to the bone, he wasn’t gravely injured.
Their eyes protruding, Ruan Zhixiong and his companion were like seeing ghosts.
A Nine Stars Immortal King slightly losing to Shi Hao!
This isn’t the final battle result, but now Shi Hao gained a slight edge, an incontrovertible fact.
Oh heavens! Oh heavens!
They wanted to hold their heads and scream; what an unbelievable event is this?
