Black Book

Chapter 396: Mid-gate confrontation
Before, Hongjila mocked [Dazhen] for being unmanned and having to rely on a teenager of sixteen or seventeen to hold the place together.

However, now, when facing the legendary Duke of Yu, he found that the other party was ten thousand times more terrifying than the intelligence!
Just one round of attack almost brought his army to the brink of collapse, with heavy losses!
He couldn't understand why the other party possessed such destructive power?
Even if you start practicing from the womb, it's impossible to reach this level, right?
As one of the world's top destiny men, Hongjila boasted that his growth rate was unmatched. However, when facing the [Dazhen] boy who was a dozen years younger than him, he felt a sense of powerlessness and confusion.

He is only seventeen years old!

Immediately, Hongjila's eyes became fierce, and endless murderous intent surged in his heart.

If this peerless genius, who only appears once in a thousand years, is not eliminated, he will probably be the empire's greatest enemy for hundreds of years to come!

Boom~
He raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow wrapped in divine light was like a white rainbow piercing the sun and instantly appeared in front of Zhu Haomiao.

[Strong wind and sharp resonance]!
A mysterious light blossomed between his brows, and the young man in black subconsciously tilted his head. The destructive golden light passed by his ears and stirred up brilliant flames together with the protective energy.

But the next second, dense arrows came like raindrops, blocking Zhu Haomiao within a radius of ten meters. Even the arrows flying behind him drew an arc and shot towards his vest again.

"Tsk~"

Realizing that there was no way to avoid the opponent's arrow, Zhu Haomiao curled his lips and his whole body's energy surged like a volcano.

hum~
The illusory energy condensed and collapsed, turning into a translucent crystal wall visible to the naked eye, wrapping the boy like an eggshell.

【Tian Gang Jin·Break the Formation】!
boom!
Arrows from the sky hit the translucent crystal wall, and the destructive force exploded, blooming a miniature golden sun in the sky.

However, when the dazzling divine light subsided, an unharmed young man in black appeared in Hongjila's sight, and a crystal clear glass sword was suspended beside him, emitting a high-frequency trembling buzzing sound.

Their eyes met, the young man in black raised his hand and held the glazed sword in the air, with a ferocious arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, let's face off at the middle gate."

Before he had time to understand Li Lin's inexplicable words, a chilling feeling struck Hongjila's mind.

It was destiny and spirituality that were warning him, warning him that the seemingly handsome and harmless boy was brewing a deadly threat that could kill him!
With a gloomy face, Hongjila drew out the golden sword from his waist, called upon the power of heaven and earth, and a vast and magnificent golden light appeared in his pupils.

On the other side, his eyes swept across the golden knife in Hongjila's hand, and he realized that it was a [real thing] containing the power of national destiny. Zhu Haomiao's thoughts raced in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving at all.

With a wave of his hand, the glazed sword that had been brewing to its extreme disappeared in an instant, condensed into a streak of sad light, and instantly appeared in front of Hongjila.

The pupil shrank to the size of a pinhole in an instant. Hongjila's mind and body transcended consciousness. Following the guidance from the unknown, he chopped out a mysterious and extraordinary sword move.

When~
The blade and the tip of the sword touched each other precisely. After a brief stalemate, a ray of light brighter than the sun exploded in the air.

boom!
The next second, the expanding shock wave swept across the earth, adding new damage to the already devastated camp.

"Mom!"

Amid the wailing screams, countless Centaurs who had no time to escape were caught up in the aftermath of the energy. The destructive force mixed with the divine aura easily tore them into pieces and threw them into the sky like snowflakes.

Suddenly, scarlet blood rained within a radius of several kilometers. The "raindrops" mixed with fragments of internal organs fell to the ground with crackling sounds, dyeing the charred land with a touch of bright red and sticky.

Outside the battlefield, countless monks in long robes stared at the scene with blank eyes.

"Are all the extraordinary people in China... monsters?"

"As expected of the Asura King mentioned by God, so terrifying!"

…………Amid the rustling whispers, someone quickly reacted and snorted coldly.

"Humph, we must also be serious, otherwise China will catch up with us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with everyone.

"That's right. Look at them. Although they are not as talented as us, they have still reached such a high level through hard work!"

"Our young people just don't want to endure hardships. They give up after a few failures... They have no ambition at all!"

"Exactly. Even when we asked them to find the [real thing], they dragged their feet and weren't proactive at all!"

"It's useless even if they are given a chance. They are such wastes!"

"Alas, what a bunch of untouchables, a piece of mud that can't be helped!"

Amid the lamentations of anger at the lack of resistance, one man withdrew his gaze from the center of the battlefield and said hesitantly.

"King Ashura has appeared on the battlefield. I'm afraid it's not safe here. Should we retreat first?"

"Agree."

“What about the untouchables?”

"Let them continue to attack from all sides to tie up the enemy's forces, and by the way, look for the [real thing]."

"That's right. Even King Asura can't kill all of these untouchables in a short period of time. We can just squeeze out every last bit of their value."

…………

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao, completely unaware of the outrageous discussions outside the battlefield, watched the squirming and expanding mushroom cloud, staring at the vague outline inside without blinking.

When the dust and smoke cleared, in the center of a radial deep pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters, the tall and burly Hongjila half-knelt on the ground with all four hooves, with wisps of green smoke rising from his body. He supported his body with a golden knife in one hand and tightly covered his chest with the other hand.

At his heart, blood with a faint golden color spread out from between his fingers, almost dyeing his entire chest red.

"It seems that killing the King of Yue was not without cost. The old man was full of fighting spirit until his death..."

Sensing the familiar divinity remaining on the enemy's wounds, Zhu Haomiao sighed without feeling hurt.

His clothes fluttered like a dark cloud floating above Hongjila's head. The young man in black raised his hand and spread out his five fingers. A touch of brutal and twisted divinity condensed on his palm, materializing into a real black eight-sided Han sword.

huh~
The sword flashed, and at the critical moment, Hongjila swung the golden knife again, but just when he was about to hit the sword, his eyes suddenly blurred.

The decisive chop missed, and Hongjila felt a chill in his lower abdomen. He slowly lowered his head stiffly and saw a fist-sized hole between his chest and abdomen.

The bloody through-hole was hideous, with the flesh and internal organs directly exposed to the air, and one could even see the scene behind through the cavity!

In mid-air, the majestic and slender eight-sided Han sword had returned to Zhu Haomiao's hand at some point. The light golden blood beads flowing on the blade seeped into the sword body as if being swallowed by a living thing, causing an imperceptible and joyful sword sound.

[Agility] +20
Feeling the temporarily stolen power integrating into his soul and flesh, Zhu Haomiao closed his eyes in ecstasy.
