Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1593: Blow for Blow

After speaking, Mo Jianxin attacked again.

Big moves obviously can’t be used all the time. This next sword was just a normal performance from him, yet it still carried astonishing power, enough to make even a Nine Stars Immortal King tremble.

Shi Hao smiled calmly. Although he mastered the Petrification Technique and even had insight into a sliver of flame source, he didn’t intend to use them, choosing instead to spar with Mo Jianxin.

At most, he would use the Universe Punch.

However, while Mo Jianxin seemed dismissive of its effectiveness, in fact, their combat power was quite similar. The power of the punch could not be underestimated and posed a significant threat to Mo Jianxin as well.

"I have to admit, this kid is really defying the heavens!" said an Eight Stars Immortal King from the Nine Flames Lineage with awe.

"His explosive power is indeed astonishing," another Eight Stars Immortal King nodded in agreement.

But the Sword Tiger Immortal King was dismissive: "Having cultivated to the level of an Immortal King, one should focus not just on explosive power but on studying rules to exert greater power. It’s completely putting the cart before the horse! Just see, when Sword Heart uses his big move, this kid won’t be able to match it, proving that at the same level, power is definitely inferior to rules."

Everyone nodded in agreement, this battle in front of them was the best proof. No matter how strong Shi Hao’s explosive power was, he was still suppressed by the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

"Shi Hao, you really disappoint me!" Mo Jianxin said coldly as he continuously attacked, "You could have matched me, why stray from the path?"

Shi Hao chuckled, "Don’t act like you’ve already beaten me, you’re still far behind!"

In terms of combat power, when the opponent used the big move of the Heavenly Dragon Sword, Shi Hao was indeed somewhat inferior, but he had defensive techniques like the Rejuvenation Technique and the Nine Deaths Celestial Art, so the minor injuries caused by the Heavenly Dragon Sword didn’t affect his fighting prowess.

Even stepping back, he hadn’t used Instantaneous Movement yet, which alone was enough to keep him invincible.

But why wasn’t he using super abilities like Petrification or flame source?

It was intentional low profile.

Shi Hao wanted to create the illusion that his talent was just comparable to Mo Jianxin.

This way, the Immortal Venerables wouldn’t relax their vigilance on him, but they would definitely lower it significantly.

Originally, Shi Hao didn’t need to keep such a low profile, but his child was about to be born.

He needed to provide a relatively stable environment for his child’s growth, at least letting the child have a beautiful childhood, rather than being born and having to stay in the Forbidden Land.

Therefore, in this battle, Shi Hao didn’t plan to win, and of course, he didn’t plan to lose either.

He had pride; how could he deliberately not win?

"Defeat you? That’s easy!" Mo Jianxin sneered, as he kept striking with his sword fiercely.

Shi Hao smiled lightly, "Who will win this bout is still unknown, don’t boast too much."

"Even at this time, you still lack any self-awareness?" Mo Jianxin sneered, his advantage in rules was absolute, and yet you still stubbornly resisted?

What is most important for a martial artist?

It’s not talent, but the willingness to face the gap!

If you can’t even see the gap, how can you talk about surpassing it?

"The one who lacks self-awareness, is you!" Shi Hao used Instantaneous Movement, appearing behind Mo Jianxin, and threw a punch.

Despite himself, Mo Jianxin didn’t dare to take this punch head-on and quickly used Instantaneous Movement to dodge it. As he was about to counterattack Shi Hao, he suddenly saw an iron fist heading towards him fiercely.

What!

Mo Jianxin was stunned, hardly believing it.

Shi Hao had just used Instantaneous Movement, how could he have immediately launched another Instantaneous Movement?

Fine, put that aside for the moment. The key point was, he also used Instantaneous Movement!

So Shi Hao must have first determined his position before using Instantaneous Movement again, although this was merely a momentary action, for such strong warriors, even this instant shouldn’t be considered short.

However, Shi Hao seemed to have no time lag at all; as soon as he appeared, the opponent was already attacking.

How could Mo Jianxin accept this?

Are you a monster?

Mo Jianxin couldn’t use Instantaneous Movement anymore, so in a rush, he had to slash with his sword, unable to unleash his full strength.

Shi Hao smiled and punched the sword aside, with his iron fist charging straight forward.

Bam!

Mo Jianxin was instantly sent flying, drawing an arc in the air, and a mouthful of blood was also spat out.

He stared blankly at Shi Hao, his face full of shock.

How could this be?

The others who saw this were also left gaping in disbelief.

Earlier, it had always been Mo Jianxin showing great power, suppressing Shi Hao and repeatedly injuring him, making everyone think Mo Jianxin was sure to win. However, the reversal came so quickly!

Sword Tiger Immortal King felt utterly embarrassed.

He had been saying Shi Hao had nothing but strength, that it was impossible. But then?

Shi Hao immediately slapped him in the face.

His face hurt like hell.

Hiss, why is this kid’s Instantaneous Movement so fast?

"Hahaha!" Mo Jianxin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Interesting! This is what’s interesting! Shi Hao, I retract what I said earlier, you’re very interesting, extremely interesting!"

He looked even more crazed, "This makes me truly want to defeat you, very, very much!"

Mo Jianxin flew forth, launching a frenzied onslaught towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t care, delivering a dominating punch.

"Heavenly Dragon Sword!" Mo Jianxin unleashed his big move.

Shi Hao used Instantaneous Movement to dodge the sword, appearing right in front of Mo Jianxin, and swung a punch again.

"Haha, I’ve been waiting for you!" Mo Jianxin laughed maniacally, slashing with his left hand, raising another sword light.

Still using the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

This guy could launch two big moves in such a short period? No wonder he’s a top genius.

Shi Hao wrapped his fist in the Immortal Rule, meeting the Sword Qi head-on.

Boom, in one strike, both were blasted away.

Mo Jianxin’s face was punched in, while Shi Hao’s fist had a long wound, blood dripping down his hand.

This strike could be considered mutually destructive.

Mo Jianxin displayed his crazed nature, not even bothering to heal the wound on his face, instead rushing towards Shi Hao to slash again.

"Hehehe!" He kept making strange laughs, seemingly in a state of madness.

Shi Hao had no fear, parrying and countering each move.

Though he decided to hold back his skills, he wouldn’t deliberately lose.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fierce battle continued, with both continually sustaining injuries.

Indeed, Mo Jianxin was insane, completely ignoring his injuries, exchanging blow for blow, as if determined to fight Shi Hao to the end, even at the cost of perishing together.

Shi Hao would certainly not perish together with him. Using Instantaneous Movement, he completely took control of the battle.
