Chapter 1166: Slaying Yu Ji
Chapter 1166: Slaying Yu Ji
October 13, 2027
Lu Hailing had acquired three martial arts techniques from the mysterious scrolls, and these three techniques were clearly related. From the first, the Mountain-Cleaving Axe, to the Sea-Shattering Axe, and now, he had mastered the Heaven Splitting Axe.
All three axe techniques were incredibly formidable, and Lu Hailing, with his exceptional strength and even more impressive martial arts talent, had easily grasped the first two. However, the third technique, the Heaven Splitting Axe, was a different story. While he could be said to have mastered it, he had never actually used it until now.
With his strength at 99 and NiuNiu's 30% power boost, Lu Hailing was incredibly powerful. He had thought he could easily wield the Heaven Splitting Axe, but after executing the technique, he realized he had underestimated its power.
He had indeed mastered the Heaven Splitting Axe, but only at his current strength level of 99. It was only when he unleashed the axe that he discovered its true terror.
The power of the Heaven Splitting Axe was not linearly related to the user's strength; every increase in the user's strength resulted in an exponential boost to the technique's might.
At this moment, as Lu Hailing swung the axe, he was completely focused on the attack, feeling as if all his strength had been channeled into this single strike, leaving him in a terrible state.
On the other side, Yu Ji was in an even worse situation than Lu Hailing.
Yu Ji had just barely managed to block Princess San's sudden Dragon Slaying strike with the Crimson Heaven Sword, and before he could react, Lu Hailing's Heaven Splitting Axe came crashing down.
What was even more terrifying was that when Lu Hailing swung the axe, Yu Ji was completely stunned.
Facing the Heaven Splitting Axe head-on, Yu Ji was overwhelmed by Lu Hailing's aura and the might of the axe. He was frozen in place, unable to move, and even using his Daoist techniques became incredibly difficult.
"I'm going to die! I'm definitely going to die!"
In an instant, Yu Ji's seemingly transcendent and aloof demeanor was completely shattered. At this moment, he was just a pitiful creature trembling in the face of death.
He was well aware of what he should and must do to survive, but he found himself unable to take any action.
Whether it was his illusionary arts, Five Elements Teleportation, or Primordial Breath Arresting Hand, facing the overwhelming pressure of Lu Hailing's Heaven Splitting Axe, he couldn't use any of them. His only hope now was the artifacts he carried.
"That's right, I have artifacts!"
Yu Ji was so terrified that his nose started to run, and his entire body shook uncontrollably. All his pretenses of being extraordinary and a celestial being were gone; he was nothing more than a cowardly mortal, trembling in the face of life and death, even more so than an ordinary soldier.
In the end, Yu Ji couldn't find an artifact that could counter Lu Hailing's axe strike. Perhaps he had one, but he didn't have the time or the opportunity to use it.
"No, no! Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'm a celestial, you can't kill me..."
"Pfft!"
Lu Hailing, gripping the Wilderness Axe, slashed down without hesitation, his face cold and determined. In an instant, the terrifying power of the axe erupted, and Yu Ji, who bore the brunt of the attack, was instantly pulverized, his body vaporizing into nothingness, leaving not even a trace behind.
And the Heaven Splitting Axe...
After the devastating strike that killed Yu Ji, the Wilderness Axe did not cease its rampage. It slashed out, creating a crescent-shaped blade of light that soared into the sky.
As the blade of light flew, a powerful gust of wind, equivalent to a level-10 storm, suddenly emerged, spreading along the path of the blade. Buildings within a few hundred meters were reduced to rubble.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong's axe had been swung diagonally upwards. If it had been aimed directly at the sky, it was likely that Beifeng City would have been destroyed by his own hands.
On Lu Hai Kong's side, after unleashing that awe-inspiring strike that shook heaven and earth, his entire body went limp, and his strength seemed to have been completely drained. Even with the support of the axe, he couldn't stand up straight.
However, from a distance of several dozen kilometers away, none of the onlookers dared to underestimate Lu Hai Kong anymore.
Even the elderly man with an ethereal and Daoist aura fell into deep silence upon witnessing Lu Hai Kong's final strike. If Lu Hai Kong were to truly unleash such an attack, it would be challenging to face, even for him.
As the elderly man remained silent, the middle-aged Daoist beside him, who had initially been shocked, now wore a faint smile. He turned to the elderly man and said, "I think we should stop here."
The elderly man's eyebrows furrowed, and he gave a deep glance at the scene in Beifeng City, where Lu Hai Kong lay limp, Princess San was slumped nearby, and NiuNiu, with her short legs, was scurrying over to Lu Hai Kong's side, anxiously embracing him.
After a moment, the elderly man turned his head, his gaze becoming resolute. He shook his head and said, "We can't let that sinister dragon remain by his side!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Daoist's smile vanished, and his expression turned slightly colder. "You want to make another move? Don't forget, he's a Human Realm Sovereign!"
"Precisely because he's a Human Realm Sovereign, I must seize the dragon before he is officially crowned. We absolutely cannot allow that sinister dragon to remain by his side; the consequences would be unimaginable!" The elderly man's tone was unwavering.
In the 16th book of the 9th volume, there was no mistake in the version I read!
"So, there's no room for negotiation?" The middle-aged Daoist's aura surged involuntarily.
The elderly man with the ethereal aura didn't even flinch. "You can't stop me. That dragon must be taken care of, and no one can change that!"
After saying this, the elderly man turned to look at the middle-aged Daoist. From start to finish, he hadn't released any aura or made any threatening gestures. Yet, with a simple turn, he made the middle-aged Daoist feel as if he were facing a formidable foe.
"Step aside. You know that without that thing in your possession, you can't stop me!"
The middle-aged Daoist's face turned pale, and just as he was about to speak, a clear and piercing voice suddenly rang out.
"If he can't stop me, what about the two of us?"
A young man's shadow appeared beside the middle-aged Daoist.
Seeing the young man, the elderly man with the ethereal aura couldn't help but change his expression. In fact, not only did the elderly man's expression change, but the middle-aged Daoist's face also underwent a transformation.
He was very familiar with the young man before him. He had assumed that at this time, even if the young man hadn't died, he should have been barely clinging to life. But to his surprise, not only was the young man alive, but he was also full of energy. What was even more terrifying was that he could sense an incredibly powerful force emanating from the young man.
What puzzled the middle-aged man even more was that when the elderly man saw the young man, he seemed about to say something, but his expression changed at that moment. After a brief pause, the elderly man sighed softly and left without saying a word...
