Five Animal Frolics. Divine Deer Steps on the Sky!
Su Changkong did not resist head-on but instead took a step that allowed him to sidestep several dozen yards away like he had ’Shrunk into Inches,’ escaping the encirclement.
"Dao Wufeng! Let’s see who is truly worthy of claiming the Transforming Dragon Gate!"
An authoritative voice rang out—it was Gu Lie. In the instant he voiced his challenge, his golden-armored body seemed to shuttle through space, closing the distance to Su Changkong in an instant. His right fist glowed with a golden blaze, and an overwhelming power bore down on Su Changkong like a Heavenly God throwing a punch.
Gu Lie had mastered more than one Unparalleled Technique and had reached a Level of Great Achievement with them, manifesting Pseudo Divine Skills. At this moment, his striking power was astonishing!
Gu Lie kept insisting on a confrontation to prove who was superior, yet he didn’t face Su Changkong in an upright one-on-one fight. Instead, he intended to attack with others, which ignited a killing intent in Su Changkong’s heart.
Gu Lie certainly wanted to prove himself stronger than Su Changkong, but he was also well aware that there were others here coveting the Transforming Dragon Gate. If he and Su Changkong ended up both seriously injured in a fight, it would simply benefit the other onlookers!
Therefore, besieging Su Changkong and obtaining the Transforming Dragon Gate was what mattered most. Securing it would greatly increase his chances of becoming a Martial Saint!
Five Animal Frolics. White Tiger Roars and Kills!
Su Changkong stowed his great bow into the Bag of Book Fragrance tied at his waist. Yin and Yang energies within his body transformed into thunderbolts. His right fist fiercely smashed out, condensing the energy of White Tiger Roars and Kills with strands of thunderbolt coiling around his fist. He struck back with his fist, clashing directly with Gu Lie.
"Boom!"
The moment their fists collided, the dazzling golden light on Gu Lie’s fist surged even brighter, illuminating the heavens and earth with peerless might.
"Roar!"
A heaven-shaking tiger’s roar, accompanied by deafening thunder, resounded through the air. Continuous explosions rang in one’s ears as the ground under their feet dipped and twisted the surrounding space within dozens of yards. The golden radiance and lightning entwined, causing time itself to seem disordered!
The bodies of Gu Lie and Su Changkong both trembled in unison, a sensation as if they were evenly matched rivals!
No warning was given before a towering dark shadow appeared behind Su Changkong. It was Mo Junling, with a blood-red vertical pupil on his forehead emitting a bloody light that enveloped the space around Su Changkong, rendering his movements as difficult as if he had sunk into a quagmire.
"Die!"
Murderous intent boiled over in Mo Junling’s eyes as his body wrapped in Rakshasa War Pattern turned black as if he were a Demon God, with his Soul-slaying Spear thrusting directly at a vital spot on Su Changkong’s back.
Su Changkong was deemed an extraordinary talent by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint, who had noted that with regular cultivation, Su Changkong was almost certain to become a Martial Saint. Whether this was true or not, it underscored the threat Su Changkong posed; letting him grow unchallenged was not an option.
Now that he was an enemy, not only for the Transforming Dragon Gate, they needed to eliminate him today by any means necessary. Overpowering with numbers? So what? To the victor go the spoils!
"Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor!"
Su Changkong remained alert, and within his body, a drop of Mysterious Turtle True Essence exploded. A vast tide of True Yuan bellowed out, enveloping his entire body and forming a crystalline light blue barrier, akin to oceanic crystal stone, radiating an unbreakable aura.
"Puff!"
The spear furiously thrust at the Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor, creating a depression in the Mysterious Turtle Yuan Realm. The penetrating force was wholly absorbed and dissolved.
A major characteristic of the Turtle Breath Technique was its defense!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
But from an oblique angle, several black threads silently emerged, piercing the Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor. These threads released corrosive power capable of eating through everything, on par with Pseudo Divine Skills, making the Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor on Su Changkong’s body flicker unstably.
This was the doing of the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl, whose Cultivation Technique was extremely bizarre and malicious, adept at breaking others’ defense techniques!
"Heavenly God Fist. Divine Light Sky-high!"
Gu Lie also didn’t give Su Changkong any chance to catch his breath, his fist shining with divine golden light, raging like a Heavenly God Furious Roar.
The Cultivation Techniques and fist skills practiced by Gu Lie all fell under the category of Unparalleled Techniques, taught to him by the Heavenly God of the Heavenly God Imperial Dynasty. With his astonishing talent, he had trained them to the Pseudo Divine Skill level, each of his movements exuding a Heavenly God’s majestic presence, so powerful that even the void itself seemed to collapse!
"Roar!"
Behind Su Changkong, a colossal bear phantom converged, and a drop of Mysterious Turtle True Essence was infused into it. The bear swelled madly, reaching a height of nearly sixty feet, as large as a small hill. Its giant paw, coiled in Yin and Yang thunderbolts, lifted high and then furiously slammed down.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently, causing a landslide. The shockwave, carrying thunder and lightning, spread indiscriminately in all directions, shattering swathes of trees and flattening protruding hills into level ground.
Propelled by the Mysterious Turtle True Essence, Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics moves could unleash divine might far beyond their original limits!
Phew!
This terrifying strike caused the combined assault of the crowd to falter.
But within the maelstrom, Gu Lie, shining with golden light, and Mo Junling, wrapped in War Patterns, after being pushed back some distance, steadied their retreat and forcibly moved against the tide!
As the wide-range attack naturally dispersed its power, these two top-notch fighters just below Martial Saints were able to withstand it.
Gu Lie’s boxing technique was domineering, a bright golden light piercing through mountains and rivers, while Mo Junling’s spear technique was unpredictable. In his Rakshasa War Body, casual strikes carried terrifying power.
Coupled with the ’Raksha Eye,’ which intermittently flashed blood light, they sealed off the space around Su Changkong, leaving no chance for escape or evasion, pressing the attack relentlessly.
Furthermore, with the support of the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl, Ba Chen, and Ba Yi, five formidable fighters joined together to besiege a single individual!
