Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 414 - 404 Demonic Sword

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chu Hao, pressing his advantage, threw punch after punch, forcing Yue Feng to retreat continuously.

He didn’t possess the bloodline of the Dragon Race and couldn’t maximize the power of Dragon Fist, but his own bloodline was equally powerful. How terrifying was Green Flame? Coupled with his Star Force reaching Nine Springs, the power he displayed with Dragon Fist was actually not inferior to the Barbaric Girl.

This martial technique was incredibly powerful; each punch caused Yue Feng to spit out a mouthful of blood. When Chu Hao finally stopped, Yue Feng had spat out nearly a hundred mouthfuls of blood.

It was not that Chu Hao stopped because he ran out of strength but rather Yue Feng had retreated to the edge of the platform. Any more punches and Yue Feng would fall off.

According to the previous rules, falling off the platform meant disqualification from the contest, and accordingly, those on the platform were no longer permitted to attack.

If it were a friendly spar, Chu Hao wouldn’t have minded throwing another punch to send his opponent flying, but this was a fight to the death, so naturally, he wouldn’t let Yue Feng off so easily.

"Wow—" Yue Feng spat out another mouthful of blood as he looked at Chu Hao with shocked and enraged eyes, unable to believe that after activating that cultivation technique, he still got beaten so badly by Chu Hao.

How terrifying was the opponent’s punching force, as if a True Dragon was swiping with its claw, rendering him completely unable to fight back. Now, both of his arms were numb, almost unable to lift.

Moreover, the areas that were struck were covered with charred marks, severely burning his body and inflicting great damage to his meridians. Mind you, martial artists in the martial master and Martial Sect Realm have at most twenty meridians in their bodies for the circulation of Star Force. Now, with his meridians damaged, the flow of Star Force was affected, leaving him with great strength that he could not fully utilize.

This rising star... had caught up to him so quickly and possessed such a frightening strength.

No, he couldn’t lose!

Yue Feng’s gaze swept across and landed on Gu Qingcheng below the platform. His expression immediately became resolute.

He absolutely couldn’t be defeated in front of Gu Qingcheng.

"Chu Hao, I didn’t expect your strength to have improved so quickly, but I have not run out of ultimate moves!" Yue Feng calmed the boiling blood within his body, swallowing a Spirit Pill to heal his injuries. He indeed had been caught off guard by Chu Hao’s sudden closeness, a grave error.

Because Chu Hao was not purely a Star Force Cultivator - he also practiced body techniques, and the only ones who could fight him up close without falling behind were fellow Body Cultivators.

Yue Feng was aware that Chu Hao practiced body techniques, but he hadn’t expected Chu Hao’s progress in body cultivation to be so rapid as to pose a threat to him.

If not for the platform’s help, his error might have led to him being killed by Chu Hao’s explosive punches.

Thinking this, Yue Feng couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of relief. He, the foremost warrior of Cang State, had nearly been killed without even fighting back – wouldn’t that be an utter disgrace?

Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "If you have any ultimate moves, use them now, so you won’t die with regret!"

"Wrong, the one who will die is definitely not me!" Yue Feng, pointing his finger at Chu Hao, retorted, "It will be you!"

Chu Hao shook his hands, reigniting the Green Flame. This flame was a true one, merged with an Exotic Fire, even capable of injuring an elemental-ized body. His fighting spirit was high as he declared, "Make your move then, or within ten moves, I shall kill you."

Yue Feng snorted. He was actually stalling for time, allowing the medicine to take effect and heal the damaged meridians within his body. The Spirit Pill, bestowed by his master, was so precious that even a War King would cherish it, and its healing effect on a warrior was exceptionally powerful.

In just a bit of time, he felt his meridians had mostly recovered - he was ready to fight.

He shook his hands and suddenly there was a colossal sword in them, about a zhang (3.3 meters) long and nearly a foot wide, extraordinarily huge. The blade bore strange patterns and emitted a dim light, as if it were a Demonic Sword.

Chu Hao’s pupils tightened; Yue Feng had some Ancient Times inheritance, with not only near-demonic cultivation techniques but also such an evil-natured weapon.

This sword... should not have been designed for humans.

He guessed as much, because in the Earth Medicine Valley’s medicine field, he had seen many giant creatures, some ten or even a hundred meters tall, and such beings could easily wield such huge swords.

A weapon is by no means better the larger it is; if the material is of sufficiently high quality, then definitely the more manageable, the better.

"Kill!" Yue Feng brandished the sword, and under the influx of his Star Force, the patterns on the colossal sword lit up one by one, emitting black light akin to mist, in sync with his cultivation technique.

Whoosh, a sword strike swept through, the black light turning into lightning, slashing fiercely towards Chu Hao.

Chu Hao dared not be careless and thrust out his fist, with a bang, his punch power shattered the sword light, but he too took a step back due to the formidable impact.

"Hahaha, now it’s my turn!" Yue Feng laughed heartily, swinging the sword continuously, each stroke unleashing a sword light barrage, slashing violently towards Chu Hao.

How terrifying!

The onlookers below were all staring, even the nine great kings on the platform revealed shocks, pondering how they would deal with such ferocious attacks if they were in the arena.

"Go for it! Fight on!" the Barbaric Girl cheered, waving her arms, wishing she could fight in place of Chu Hao.

Chu Hao, undaunted, thrust his fists to meet the attack, with Green Flame swirling, fully unleashing the power of his physique.

Bang bang bang bang, the two exchanged blows.

Yue Feng sneered, this was the rhythm of fighting against a body cultivator – long-range attacks, definitely not close combat. While his unceasing attacks appeared intense, his actual consumption was small, as he was merely activating the power of the sword in his hand, the Ancient Treasure Artifact being the key.

He would exhaust his adversary to death, and moreover, the black sword light had a terrifying power; Chu Hao definitely wouldn’t last long.

...

"If I am not mistaken, this is a Treasure Artifact from Black Light Star," mused Fat Cat from below the stage. "However, this guy is really an idiot for using the Treasure Artifact like this. The martial artists of Black Light Star tend to favor Body Cultivation, which is why they forge such massive swords. Only in close combat can the full power of the Treasured Sword be unleashed."

"Hm, you dead cat, why does it seem like I heard you talking?" Gu Qingcheng suddenly glared over with a flirtatious look.

Fat Cat quickly covered its mouth with its paw. Had it really just let something slip by accident?

"Ha, you gave yourself away!" Gu Qingcheng said viciously, "Dead cat, smelly cat, how long do you plan to keep up your act?"

Since it was found out, Fat Cat no longer pretends, saying, "Young lady, blame Hao if you must; I am innocent."

"I won’t blame you if you help me deal with that stinky boy," Gu Qingcheng bargained.

"Deal!" Fat Cat agreed without hesitation, instantly betraying Chu Hao.

Such a creature whose will is so easily swayed, to betray without a second thought, this dead cat is indeed a unique specimen.

Humph, you little brat, now that I have an inside agent, let’s see how I take you down.

That was what Gu Qingcheng thought.

Hao, I can only help you this much, whether you can handle this Demoness is all up to your own skill.

Fat Cat also secretly said.

The two of them exchanged a glance and both smiled.

...

"This sword... it seems it does not belong to this world!" On the high platform, the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body stared at the giant sword in Yue Feng’s hand, murmuring to himself. The immortal mist around his body churned, changing ceaselessly.

"I’ll have to take a closer look at it." He nodded, and the immortal mist returned to its slow swirling.

...

In terms of power, Chu Hao was actually at a slight disadvantage now because Yue Feng, relying on the Ancient Treasure Artifact, managed to enhance his power by a great margin, even surpassing the integration of Ten Springs, enough to rival a Middle Tier War General.

Therefore, Chu Hao was on the back foot on the scene, retreating from time to time under the attacks, but his physique was just too powerful. The level of power shock was simply not enough to injure his internal organs.

Yue Feng thinks he can hurt him with long-range attacks? Dream on!

Moreover, he is not purely a Body Cultivator. Did you think he can’t launch long-range attacks?

Chu Hao snorted lightly, waved his hands, and immediately, multiple Crescent Slashes were sent flying, whistling through the air. These Crescent Slashes, imbued with Starlight, possessed terrifying lethal power, forcing Yue Feng to open up his black fog, consuming more Star Force to defend.

Offense and defense can never be focused on at the same time. The cost of increasing defense is invariably the weakening of offense, unless you’re like Chu Hao, whose defense naturally comes from his own physique, so there’s no need to split focus.

Under Chu Hao’s counterattack, Yue Feng’s offensive weakened, and Chu Hao took the opportunity to counterattack. Stepping on the Wind and Cloud Step, he surged forward ferociously and launched an even more fierce attack on Yue Feng.

Whizzing through the air, Yue Feng displayed his Ultimate Moves one by one. His figure split into four, quickly creating distance from Chu Hao.

"Which one is the real body?" Chu Hao frowned slightly. He clearly knew that among the four Yue Fengs, only one was real, but they all seemed exactly the same to him, making it impossible to distinguish.

"Chu Hao, you stand no chance against me, none!" Yue Feng shouted, as the four figures simultaneously swung their giant swords, unleashing even more sword light at him.

"Don’t be so sure of yourself," Chu Hao shook his head, pulled out the golden pupil eye, and looked through it. Instantly, the false was distinguished from the true, and everything changed.

He lunged forward and threw a heavy punch.

"What!" Yue Feng’s face showed shock because Chu Hao’s punch was directly targeting his real body.

It must be a fluke, definitely!

He hurriedly withdrew his doppelgangers, his body trembled, splitting into four once again, but Chu Hao’s punch had already arrived, hitting him hard on the back, causing him to stumble nearly falling face-first to the ground.

"Damn it!" He roared, quickly swinging his sword at Chu Hao.

The golden pupil eye proved its awesomeness.

Yet, Chu Hao put away the golden pupil eye, now intending to rely on his own ability to determine which one was Yue Feng’s real body—he knew that only the skills that truly belonged to him were real strength. Otherwise, if he became too dependent on the golden pupil eye, what would he do if he lost it one day?

However, he had already spotted several flaws in Yue Feng’s Doppelganger Technique through the golden pupil eye, and as the fight dragged on, he started to notice the subtle differences between the three doppelgangers and the real body.

What is fake, will always remain fake.

A smile played at the corners of his mouth, now it was time for him to launch a full-on counterattack. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
