Shi Hao felt the force from the fist, and his expression hardened. This punch felt like hitting a piece of divine iron, which was extremely hard.

Undeterred, he changed his punch to an elbow and attacked Li Dao once again.

However, Li Dao remained unhurried, fighting Shi Hao with relaxed and effortless movements. Yet, the shockwaves generated between their punches and kicks revealed the ferocity of their attacks.

Seeing Shi Hao's fists raining down like raindrops, Li Dao only focused on parrying the attacks.

They also gained a preliminary understanding of Shi Hao's strength.

He was already able to look down on his peers in the Blood Transformation Realm, but unfortunately he met him!

Seeing another punch coming, Li Dao flashed a Dao pattern on his hand, directly wrapping around the fist and pulling it towards himself.

It directly disrupted Shi Hao's center of gravity, and with a downward shoulder thrust, it slammed forward, sending Shi Hao flying even though he had anticipated it.

bang——

Shi Hao crashed heavily to the ground, feeling the burning pain in his arm, his expression extremely solemn.

If I hadn't blocked it with my arm at the crucial moment, that blow, if it had landed squarely on my chest, would have rendered me incapacitated, even if not seriously injured.

Then he would have lost outright!

Chapter 33 Defeat!

He gained a completely new understanding of Li Dao's strength.

Previously, I had only seen his terrifying record of killing spirit beasts, but only after personally experiencing the battle did I realize how much pressure he faced when confronting Li Dao.

His body trembled slightly, and the surrounding earth and rocks exploded instantly. His figure flew out of the smoke and dust like a streak of light, hovering in mid-air, and said to Li Dao:

"Next up is a duel of magical techniques, be careful!"

Li Dao nodded, remaining standing in place, raising his hand to form a Dao seal in front of his chest, moonlight flowing down his cheeks.

Although he appears young, the disdain in his eyes already exudes an aura of dominance.

hum-

With a clear tremor, the Xuanhuang Furnace appeared, and the Xuanhuang light emanating from it seemed to be flowing with strands of immortal divine light.

Upon seeing this, Shi Hao naturally understood Li Dao's meaning and unleashed the Azure Scaled Eagle Technique.

It tore through the void and rushed towards Li Dao.

Ding ding ding—

The Xuanhuang Furnace trembled slightly, emitting a deep and heavy sound, as if the divine furnace was truly cast from divine metal.

Shi Hao's powerful technique struck it, but it didn't even leave a mark.

"What a powerful defense! It's like being smashed into a piece of divine iron. What a terrifying magical technique!"

Shi Hao felt the divine power rapidly draining from his body. He had not reached the Cave Heaven Realm, so he could not maintain an inexhaustible supply of divine power.

He knew that if things continued like this, he would be dragged down to his death.

With a determined effort, he leaped into the air, and runes crackling with lightning shot out from his body.

As he landed in mid-air, arcs of lightning emanated from his body, bathing him in the light.

As he raised his hand, a ferocious beast, its body wreathed in lightning and its limbs as thick as mountains, slowly emerged from behind him.

Its breath was like a gale, and its eyes were like two purple moons, clearly resembling a Suanni.

"The Suanni Treasure Technique!"

Shi Hao suddenly shouted and swung his right hand heavily in the direction of Li Dao. The illusory image of the Suanni behind him, crackling with lightning, immediately rushed towards him.

sizzle-

Li Dao's eyes lit up as he looked at the Suanni, which was standing in mid-air, its every step carrying a burnt smell.

He removed the Xuanhuang Furnace from his body and waved his hand in the direction of Shi Hao.

Behind him, a ferocious beast, its body wreathed in purple lightning and its tongue flicking out, emerged.

As Li Dao's finger shot out, the purple snake's coiled body suddenly stretched out.

It arrived faster than expected, instantly landing beside the Suanni and wrapping its massive body around it.

The two beasts continued to collide, and the light in Li Dao's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Originally, he was just a sparring partner to test Shi Hao's current combat strength.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the Suanni Treasure Technique stirred something within him.

As both are thunder-based treasure techniques, their constant clashes can deepen his understanding and comprehension of the thunder path.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but Shi Hao, who was opposite him, was unaware of this. At this moment, he was using his full power to unleash his magic, not seeking to defeat his enemy, but only to hold out for a little longer.

Li Dao did not hesitate and immediately applied his insights to actual combat.

He then injected even more mysterious and darker-colored runes into the purple snake's body.

As the runes were injected, the lightning arcs wrapped around the purple serpent grew thicker and heavier, and two small bulges faintly rose above its head.

The aura emanating from him grew increasingly powerful, and Shi Hao, who was fighting against Li Dao, was the one who could feel this change most deeply.

Knowing that Li Dao had recently hunted the purple snake and had only obtained the treasure technique a day ago, they realized that he had recently acquired it.

He was already quite shocked that Li Dao could unleash this skill so quickly, but he didn't expect that the Suanni and the Purple Serpent would continue to clash.

The aura emanating from the purple snake grew stronger and stronger, and its gaze toward Li Dao became increasingly strange.

"Could this person be some kind of ancient monster?"

However, this thought only lasted a moment before I was immediately drawn to the intense collision sounds in mid-air.

Boom!

After yet another collision, the Suanni and the Purple Serpent vanished into thin air.

The surging air currents swept across the distant mountains, instantly erupting into a muffled explosion.

Shi Hao's face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that his divine power was about to be exhausted.

Li Dao remained unchanged. With a slight activation of the flesh-blood furnace within his body, the essence of heaven and earth immediately surged towards him.

It quickly replenishes what it had previously consumed.

Shi Hao made no attempt to hide anything, sitting cross-legged on the ground and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

Her originally pale complexion quickly became rosy.

"call--"

After recovering some of his divine power, he came to Li Dao's side, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Brother Li, your skills are extraordinary. I have lost this time."

"However, I will definitely win next time!"

Shi Hao's fighting spirit remained undiminished. He had also gained a lot from this battle, and his cultivation had improved.

Li Dao smiled and nodded.

"You don't need to call me Brother Li, just call me by my name."

"I'm waiting for you to come and challenge me!"

Shi Hao nodded; he wasn't one to be coy, and he remembered those words.

"Alright, then I won't be polite!"

"From now on, you can just call me by my name."

The two returned to the cave where they had eaten roasted meat and discussed the Dao with each other in a lively atmosphere.

The next day, early in the morning.

The golden sun shone brightly across the land, illuminating the world. Li Daoyou slowly awoke from his meditation with his eyes closed.

Looking to his side, he saw that Shi Hao had already left, leaving only a message on the wall.

Seeing that you were still unconscious, I left first.

"I will come to the capital of the Stone Kingdom to find you. Goodbye!"

Li Dao couldn't help but smile. He ran his hand across the stone wall, and the characters on it turned into golden powder and disappeared into the world.

"That's quite remarkable."

"I wonder when we'll meet again?"

Li Dao shook his head, suppressing the jumble of thoughts in his mind.

He stood up and took a step forward, with arcs of lightning erupting beneath his feet, and appeared directly outside the cave.

He took out the map from his pocket and looked at it again, and had a rough plan for the next direction.

"If the map is correct, at my pace, it should be about half a month's journey from here to the capital of the Stone Kingdom."

"This journey has been fraught with danger, and it has been a good trial for me."

He tucked the map into his robes, his divine power surged, and with a single step, bolts of lightning suddenly erupted beneath his feet.

Its figure appeared ten meters away like a ghost, leaving a faint purple mark in mid-air where it passed.

After competing with Shi Hao's Thunder Dao Treasure Technique, he made progress in his understanding of the Thunder Dao, coupled with the results of a night of comprehension.

He was also able to use lightning magic in a rudimentary way.

With another step forward, the number of lightning arcs that erupted increased, and the distance he teleported away reached fifteen meters.

He possessed a Thunder Dao Treasure Technique, which was perfect for use as a footwork technique. Although he still needed to slowly comprehend and adjust it, Li Dao was in no hurry.

With ample time, he was convinced he could comprehend a movement technique suited to him.

Then, one can see a figure wrapped in lightning, setting off from the Taiyin River and constantly traversing the Great Wilderness.

At first, the place they passed through was a scene of devastation, with fallen trees and collapsed mountains being commonplace.

Sometimes, Li Dao would accidentally enter the lair of a ferocious beast.

Wherever he went, chaos ensued. If it weren't for his superior strength, he would have been eaten by some ferocious beast.
