Throne of Seals: White Tiger's Power Lock, I am the God of War

Chapter 98 Battle against A Bao
Although this demon youth possessed considerable power, he was not yet worthy of the demon's full strength.

As the halberd swept across, it created a whistling wind, forcing the demon youth to retreat repeatedly. His bat wings were scorched black by the battle aura.

"Impossible! How can your sixth rank be so strong?" The demon youth was both shocked and furious. He condensed a dark purple magic ball in his palm, but it was shattered by Feng Yao's halberd.

A cold glint flashed in Feng Yao's crimson-gold pupils: "The fools of the demon race will never understand that true strength is never built up by cultivation."

Although his left arm was still somewhat stiff, it did not affect his speed at all. The trajectory of his halberd became increasingly cunning, with each strike aimed at the opponent's weakness.

After three moves, Feng Yao seized the opportunity when his opponent dodged, and thrust his halberd straight out, accurately piercing through the demon youth's shoulder armor.

The moment the black blood gushed out, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The demonic energy contained in the blood was rapidly corroding the battle aura on the halberd.

"Hahaha, you've fallen for it!" The demon youth grinned maliciously, and the black energy at the wound suddenly surged, transforming into countless tiny bats that swarmed towards Feng Yao.

Feng Yao snorted coldly, and the power of the White Tiger within his body suddenly erupted. The crimson-gold battle qi formed a barrier, shattering all the bats.

He drew his halberd and kicked the demon youth away, watching him crash into a stalagmite and die completely before turning around and continuing on his way.

The wind on Blackrock Plains grew stronger, carrying pebbles that stung against our skin.

Feng Yao looked up at the smoking mountain and noticed that the green light in the crack seemed to resonate with something at the top of the mountain, flashing at a fixed frequency.

"That should be the core of this area." He quickened his pace, encountering several more waves of magical beasts along the way, all of which he dealt with cleanly and efficiently.

When Feng Yao reached the summit, he finally understood the source of the resonance—a huge green crystal was embedded in the mountaintop, with a faint golden light sealed within it, echoing the green light in the crack in the sky.

And standing next to the crystal was a person.

Abao turned around, dark purple demonic fire dancing in his palm, a playful smile on his lips: "Looks like we're heading to the same place."

Feng Yao's crimson-gold pupils suddenly contracted, and he gripped the battle halberd in his hand tightly: "This saves me the trouble of looking for you."

The wind on the mountaintop suddenly became violent, and the air between the two seemed to freeze at that moment.

The dark purple demonic fire at A Bao's fingertips suddenly surged, transforming into a two-meter-long demonic flame blade, its blade wreathed in distorted black energy: "I heard you slew three high-level demon gods?"

Feng Yao's crimson-gold battle aura condensed into a battle halberd in his palm. The cold light at the tip of the halberd clashed with the gale on the mountaintop, emitting a piercing shriek: "You dare to call me that?"

"Hehe." Abao chuckled, his figure suddenly leaving an afterimage in place, and the Demon Flame Longsword was already slashing towards Feng Yao's face with a whooshing sound.

This seemingly simple strike blocked all of Feng Yao's evasive angles, and the demonic energy emanating from the blade carried a power that eroded the soul.

Feng Yao lightly touched the ground with his feet, his body spinning like a top, and his battle halberd swept out at an odd angle, accurately striking the side of the Demon Flame Longsword.

With a crisp clang, the two men each took three steps back.

Feng Yao felt his arm go numb. The opponent's strength was even greater than he had imagined, and the corrosive effect of this demonic flame on battle qi far exceeded that of the previous demon youth.

"Not bad, human."

Abao flicked his wrist, his fighting spirit growing even stronger. "However, you're still a bit lacking compared to me."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly formed a hand seal, and a three-headed, six-armed demon god phantom appeared behind him, each arm wielding a different demonic weapon, crushing towards Feng Yao. The oppressive aura emanating from this phantom caused even the black rocks on the mountaintop to tremble. Feng Yao took a deep breath, and the White Tiger bloodline within him fully awakened. His crimson-gold battle qi transformed into a lifelike white tiger phantom, roaring towards the sky.

The howl startled the demon god's phantom for a moment, and he seized the opportunity to close in, his battle halberd thrusting out like a storm, each strike accompanied by the sound of wind breaking.

The two figures clashed rapidly on the mountaintop, and the energy shockwaves generated by the collision of demonic flames and battle aura shattered all the surrounding stalagmites.

Feng Yao's old injury on his left arm throbbed with pain during the intense battle, inevitably slowing his movements by a beat.

Abao seized this opening and suddenly changed his attack with the Demon Flame Blade, slashing straight at Feng Yao's left arm.

"Die!" Feng Yao roared, forcefully twisting his body, abandoning his defense with his battle halberd and instead stabbing towards A Bao's heart.

This was a suicidal tactic. A hint of surprise flashed in A Bao's eyes, and he was forced to sheathe his sword and return to defense.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Feng Yao created some distance. The sleeve of his left arm had been burned through by the demonic flames, revealing a charred wound on the exposed skin.

"Looks like you're not invincible after all." Abao licked his lips, preparing to launch another attack.

Just then, the green crystal at the center of the mountain peak suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and the golden light sealed within the crystal moved like living things. At the same time, the green light in the crack in the sky also became intense.

Both of them felt a powerful suction force coming from the crystal, as if it was trying to suck away all their power.

“This is…” Feng Yao frowned as he looked at the green crystal and discovered that the golden light seemed to contain some kind of pure life energy, which was resonating with the White Tiger power in his body.

Abao's expression turned serious: "It's the power of the Goddess of Nature!"

He stopped attacking Feng Yao and instead rushed towards the green crystal, wanting to claim the golden light stream for himself.

Feng Yao would not let him succeed.

With a flash, he stood in front of the green crystal, his battle halberd pointing directly at A Bao: "Want to steal it? You'll have to get past me first!"

The green crystal shone brighter and brighter, and golden light began to slowly overflow, some flowing towards Feng Yao and some towards A Bao.

Feng Yao felt his fighting spirit rapidly recovering, and the old wound on his left arm was gradually healing under the nourishment of the golden light.

Meanwhile, the demonic energy around Ah Bao became violent, clashing fiercely with the golden light. "Damn it! This energy is actually repelling demonic energy!"

A Bao roared, forced to divert some of his power to suppress the internal conflict, causing his strength to drop slightly.

Feng Yao seized the opportunity, and the white tiger phantom surged again, the battle halberd thrusting towards A Bao with an indomitable momentum.

This time, A Bao could no longer resist and was pierced through the right shoulder by the halberd, with dark purple blood gushing out.

"I'll remember you." Abao glared at Feng Yao with resentment, then turned and jumped into the abyss on the other side of the mountain peak, his figure quickly disappearing into the clouds.

Feng Yao did not pursue; he could sense that the energy of the green crystal was about to reach its peak.

He walked up to the crystal, reached out and touched its surface, and golden light flowed down his arm and into his body.
