Once the referee saw Jiang Feng and Feng Li take their positions, he shouted, "Begin!"
Jiang Feng wore close-fitting combat clothes and held a Fine Iron Heavy Sword.
Across from him, Feng Li held a slender staff topped with a black gemstone.
Almost the instant the referee announced the start, Feng Li moved. A wisp of darkness suddenly surged from the tip of her staff and fell to the ground.
Like a stone breaking the surface of a still lake, endless ripples spread. A black Hexagram Magic Array suddenly appeared on the Trial Arena floor, followed immediately by a sight familiar to Jiang Feng.
A black gate slowly rose from the ground, its surface covered in countless eerie demonic runes. A dense aura of darkness spread throughout the Trial Arena.
Even though he had seen it once yesterday, Jiang Feng was still astonished. The purity of this dark element was actually no weaker than that of his own holy light element.
After all, Jiang Feng possessed the holy protection physique, with innate spiritual power as high as eighty!
By that comparison, Feng Li's innate spiritual power could not possibly be lower than eighty either.
The Darkness Gate was sinister and eerie, with terrifying roars and piercing howls echoing from within.
The gate slowly opened, releasing endless black mist. It seemed like a passage to hell, exuding countless savage, cruel, and terrifying auras.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A massive creature, three meters tall and nearly nine meters long, leaped out of the darkness within the gate.
What a ferocious magical beast it was!
Its powerful body bore three hideous heads. Its fur was pitch-black, marked with eerie dark-red patterns, and its thick limbs ended in razor-sharp claws and fangs.
The moment it appeared, it exuded a grim, bloody aura. Its eyes were blood-red and blazing with ferocity.
As its four paws touched the ground, they actually set the soil ablaze with black flames.
All six eyes on its three heads fixed on Jiang Feng. The next instant, it charged straight toward him.
It was fast. Despite its enormous size, its agility was completely unhindered.
Jiang Feng gripped his swords with both hands, ready to meet it.
When the Hell Three-Headed Dog was only ten meters away, it opened its three hideous mouths, exposing its sharp fangs. The next instant, three streams of black flame shot toward Jiang Feng.
The flames covered a straight stretch between Jiang Feng and the Hell Three-Headed Dog, more than a meter wide and over three meters high.
The three streams of flame swept toward him with extreme heat, scorching the soil black.
One of the Hell Three-Headed Dog's innate skills: Hellfire.
Jiang Feng could feel waves of heat rolling toward him, but he was utterly unafraid. After forming a blood pact with Dragon Baby, he had gained some of Dragon Baby's abilities, including immunity to fire.
Even without that immunity, the Hell Three-Headed Dog's Hellfire would have struggled to hurt Jiang Feng, whose external spiritual power exceeded three thousand one hundred.
At most, it would burn away his ordinary clothes.
But Jiang Feng would never let that happen. He stamped his right foot hard against the ground and leaped upward.
He rose more than five meters into the air, evading that blast of Hellfire.
Before the Hell Three-Headed Dog could react and raise its heads to spray flames into the sky, he shot downward like a Magic Cannon blast, landing right in front of it.
Seeing its enemy close in, the Hell Three-Headed Dog abruptly stopped breathing fire and opened its mouths to bite Jiang Feng.
Its three heads snapped at him from three directions, filling the air with despair and bloodlust.
Although none of its three heads moved slowly, Jiang Feng was clearly faster.
Brilliant holy radiance burst from his twin swords as he instantly activated the Fifth Order skill Holy Sword.
His two swords blocked two of the Hell Three-Headed Dog's heads. As for the remaining one, Jiang Feng raised his foot and kicked it squarely beneath the jaw.
"Roar!"
The head he had kicked immediately let out an agonized roar. A fierce stream of flame erupted from its mouth, engulfing Jiang Feng completely.
What baffled the Hell Three-Headed Dog, however, was why its Hellfire could not hurt Jiang Feng.
As a level-six magical beast, the Hell Three-Headed Dog clearly possessed some intelligence, but it could not fathom the reason.
Following its combat instincts, two of its millstone-sized heads clamped down on Jiang Feng's Fine Iron Heavy Swords. Then it jerked its heads upward, trying to fling him away.
However, Jiang Feng's strength exceeded its expectations.
Jiang Feng lowered his center of gravity, and his feet seemed rooted to the ground. No matter how hard the Hell Three-Headed Dog pulled, it could not fling him away.
Instead, Jiang Feng exerted force through both arms and suddenly pulled his swords free, scraping their blades against the Hell Three-Headed Dog's sharp, hard teeth.
An unbearably grating sound rang out, making even Jiang Feng cringe.
He crossed his swords before him, then unleashed Light Slash Sword with his left hand and Sunlight Slash with his right.
The knight combination skill Radiant Cross Slash, amplified by Holy Sword, erupted with power surpassing what either skill could produce alone.
Faced with this attack, all three of the Hell Three-Headed Dog's mouths simultaneously released terrifying black flames.
The three streams merged into a pillar of fire thicker than before and collided with Jiang Feng's Radiant Cross Slash.
Boom!
A massive shock wave of spiritual power spread outward. The Hell Three-Headed Dog stood unharmed, roaring at Jiang Feng.
"Oh, you're pretty strong." Jiang Feng chuckled. Light Slash Sword was a Third Order knight skill, while Sunlight Slash was a Fourth Order knight skill. Amplified by Holy Sword, their combination skill, Radiant Cross Slash, could reach Fifth Order power.
But from the look of it, Radiant Cross Slash still could not deal with this Hell Three-Headed Dog.
Then let's try something harder.
Jiang Feng put away one sword and gripped the remaining one with both hands, raising it above his head. Endless light element rapidly gathered around it. In an instant, the blade erupted with dazzling radiance, its holy light aura intense and blazing.
A powerful aura instantly spread outward. Behind the Hell Three-Headed Dog, Feng Li could not help frowning. She had a feeling that Jiang Feng's next sword strike would be astonishing.
The Hell Three-Headed Dog roared loudly. Cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, it felt no fear whatsoever and lunged fiercely at Jiang Feng.
At that very moment, the radiance of Jiang Feng's sword reached its peak. His expression grew somewhat solemn. Facing the ferociously charging Hell Three-Headed Dog, he gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down.
For an instant, all the light in the Trial Arena seemed to have been stripped away and gathered into Jiang Feng's sword strike.
A blade of light nine meters long shot toward the Hell Three-Headed Dog, as though it would cleave the sky in two.
