"Huh..."
Meng Jiu just chuckled and remained calm.
He took the bamboo pole and drew three circles in front of him.
Three bamboo shoot fences were stacked together to block the top of the head.
But when Shi Po grabbed it with its bone claws, the three-layer bamboo shoot fence simultaneously shattered into fragments of emerald green light that filled the sky under the impact of the dark gold flames.
Meng Jiu was shaken by the aftermath of that claw and slid back several feet.
The hem of the black robe was burned with several black marks by the dark gold flames.
He propped his bamboo pole on the ground to steady himself.
But Shi Po has already caught up.
Its forelimbs grabbed dozens of claws at a very close distance.
Each claw is wrapped in dark golden flames, and each claw leaves dense afterimages in the air.
Meng Jiu's bamboo pole was swung rapidly in front of him, and bamboo shoots, leaves, and bamboo joints came out one after another to resist.
But Shi Po's dark gold flame burned through those defenses layer by layer.
Meng Jiu was defeated steadily by that intensive offensive, and dozens of scorch marks appeared on the black robe.
The jade pendant around his waist cracked into fine lines in the aftermath of the dark gold flames.
Meng Jiu retreated to the edge of Arena.
His bamboo pole is covered with dark golden burn marks.
The green sap seeping out from the bamboo joints slowly repairs the bamboo body at the burn marks.
But the speed of repairs can no longer keep up.
The dark gold flame of Shi Po is continuously burning the surface of the bamboo pole.
Every breath creates new burn marks.
His face was calm, his lips under the white cloth were slightly pursed, and the jade pendant around his waist cracked again in the aftermath of the dark gold flames.
He took a deep breath.
"Your Bone Spike is burned, and my bamboo is about to be burned."
He spoke, his voice still gentle, but his speaking speed was slower than before.
"Then let's fight for the last resort."
He held the bamboo pole horizontally in front of him and held both ends of the bamboo pole with both hands.
The emerald green light in the bamboo joints condensed, compressed, and concentrated in his palm, changing from light green to emerald green, from emerald green to dark green, and from dark green to an almost ink-like dark green.
All the vitality around him poured into the bamboo pole at that moment.
The burn marks on the surface of the bamboo pole healed quickly under the wash of rich green light.
New bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots were pulled out from the bamboo joints, and a drop of crystal dew condensed on the bamboo tip.
"Blood Burning."
He whispered two words.
The blood in his body began to flow faster at that moment.
Every drop of blood is burning.
Every strand of blood is boiling.
His complexion changed from pale to an abnormal flush.
A streak of dark red blood oozed from the lips under the white cloth.
But the bamboo pole in his hand suddenly grew to seven feet long under the urging of Blood Burning.
The emerald green light in the bamboo joints is so intense that it is dazzling, and the entire bamboo pole is like a magic sword that has been forged for ten thousand years Emerald Bamboo.
"Bamboo Sword·Zhanchun."
He swung the bamboo pole in the direction of Shi Po.
The moment the bamboo pole was swung, an emerald-green Sword-Ray detached from the bamboo pole.
Sword-Ray is filled with dense shadows of bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots.
Each bamboo leaf is Sword Qi compressed to the extreme.
Every bamboo shoot is a concentrated vitality.
Wherever Sword-Ray passed, the air was dyed with fresh green light.
Dense bamboo buds were drilled out from the gaps in the stone bricks. The bamboo buds grew rapidly, leafed out, and bloomed in the lingering flavor of Sword-Ray.
Shi Po's forelimbs suddenly slapped the ground, and the dark gold flames condensed into a thick flame barrier in front of him.
The emerald green Sword-Ray hit the flame barrier, and the entire Arena shook suddenly. The emerald green and dark gold lights strangled crazily at the collision point.
The flame barrier developed dense cracks under the impact of Sword-Ray.
But Sword-Ray also quickly became shorter, thinner and lighter under the burning of the flame.
The two forces were in a stalemate over Arena for several seconds before exploding at the same time, splattering emerald green and dark gold fragments of light across the sky.
