Lu Hao used his mental power to probe the fathead fish, but it could not penetrate at all. It was definitely at the pinnacle—only someone at the same level could block Lu Hao's mental probe.
Lu Hao's probing was also noticed by the fathead fish, which charged straight at him.
Lu Hao slashed out. A single strike manifested a four-petaled Void Lotus. He did not hold back in the slightest.
The blade light struck the fathead fish with a thunderous crash. Lu Hao swept out with his mental power and found that his slash had shattered the fish's outer shell and injured its insides, but it had not harmed its foundation. The fathead fish still rushed toward him at incredible speed.
This fathead fish was no weakling either. It had not just entered the pinnacle realm; otherwise, Lu Hao's earlier slash would have seriously injured it.
Facing the fathead fish's attack, Lu Hao hurriedly countered with his blade, knocking its tail back.
The fathead fish charged again the next moment. It had lived in the Forbidden Sea for far too long and was incredibly agile. Lu Hao had no choice but to defend himself. Neither side could do anything to the other now. The fish's burst power was only slightly weaker than his, but its defense was absurdly high. A demonic beast of the same rank simply could not be compared to anything else in terms of defense and combat strength.
It was only because Lu Hao's Godslayer Blade was a Rank Nine divine weapon that it had not shattered first. If it were an artifact, it probably could have cleaved through the fathead fish's defenses with that last strike. Lu Hao tried using mental power, but its effect was greatly weakened in the Forbidden Sea. It was completely useless
