The tide rises on the Qiantang River, and only today do I realize who I truly am!
The real Great Sage Equaling Heaven didn't have so many fancy tricks.
When in doubt, just use a stick; if one stick doesn't work, use another!
In short, just go for it!
Xia Chen slightly raised his hand towards the huge pit below, his palm emitting a faint golden light.
Before long, a figure flew up from below, golden light wrapped around her neck, binding her tightly like a shackle.
That figure is Imu!
At this moment, she was covered in tatters, her armor was tattered, revealing a large expanse of her skin.
His body was covered in wounds, and he looked incredibly pitiful!
Xia Chen slightly clenched his fists, while the golden light on Imu's neck began to slowly recede.
In an instant, Imu began to writhe wildly as if he had gone mad, his hands gripping the golden light around his neck tightly, his face flushed red.
The suffocating sensation on her neck filled her with immense panic, but the power within her seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
This left her only able to writhe wildly like an ordinary person, trying to alleviate some of the pain.
However, all of this was in vain. As time went by, the suffocating feeling in his neck not only did not lessen, but became stronger and stronger.
Gradually, Imu's struggles weakened, and his hands fell limply to his sides.
Seeing this, Xia Chen showed no emotion and continued to increase the force in his hands.
From the moment they dared to attack Amazon Lily, the World Government was already doomed.
They only have themselves to blame; they had nothing better to do than provoke him!
Imu's aura grew weaker and weaker, and she was about to completely lose her own aura.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Xia Chen immediately turned around and threw a punch in one direction.
"Boom!"
An extremely powerful shockwave struck, sending a figure flying backward instantly, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth in mid-air.
Xia Chen flew backwards for quite a distance before stopping, his gaze fixed solemnly ahead.
A humanoid creature, entirely dark blue, appeared before Xia Chen's eyes.
No!
Perhaps calling it a living organism is not accurate.
Because it is entirely composed of blue energy and has absolutely no trace of life.
"Who are you?"
Xia Chen frowned slightly and asked in a calm voice.
" The Heavenly Dao!"
An inexplicable voice rang out in Xia Chen Xia Chen's mind, causing his eyes to narrow involuntarily.
He had heard of the concept of the Heavenly Dao twice before.
I first heard it from Pluton Hades, and the second time it was mentioned in a prophecy circulating in the Great Kingdom, as described by Vegapunk.
To Xia Chen's surprise, he had always thought that the so-called Heavenly Dao was just a conceptual thing, but he never expected that it could actually be materialized.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen asked directly:
"So... what do you mean now? You want to stop me from killing Imu?"
According to the prophecy, Imu's current behavior should theoretically be intolerable to the laws of Heavenly Dao, so why is he being protected?
However, the so-called Heavenly Dao was destined not to answer Xia Chen's questions.
It floated silently in the air, offering no response whatsoever to Xia Chen.
Seeing this, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, and he swung his Jingu Bang fiercely, sending a shockwave shooting out towards Imu below.
At that moment, the blue figure moved, instantly appearing before the shockwave and annihilating Xia Chen's shockwave with a gentle wave of his hand.
"!!"
Xia Chen frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on this so-called Heavenly Dao.
"So you're determined not to let me kill her, huh? In that case..."
Xia Chen's figure flashed and he instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Heavenly Dao and slammed his stick down hard on it.
"Boom!"
An incredibly powerful shockwave spread out in all directions, and the powerful aftershocks caused the void to tremble slightly.
"!!"
However, what happened before his eyes made Xia Chen's pupils shrink. He saw that the Heavenly Dao simply raised one arm and blocked his attack.
It seemed effortless!
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he swung the stick in his hand again, continuously attacking the Heavenly Dao.
However, as time passed, no matter how Xia Chen attacked, the Heavenly Dao could easily intercept it, rendering it completely ineffective.
However, during this period, the Heavenly Dao only passively defended itself and did not intend to actively attack Xia Chen.
Xia Chen frowned, staring at the Heavenly Dao before him, his eyes flashing.
He had already realized from their exchange that he was no match for this Heavenly Dao.
At least his attacks had no effect on the opponent.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen raised his hand again and launched another attack towards Imu below.
As expected, the Heavenly Dao reappeared in front of Imu and blocked the attack.
After a period of rest, Imu had recovered considerably, his breathing gradually calmed, and he slowly stood up from the ground.
There was a hint of fear in her eyes as she looked at Xia Chen.
She never expected Xia Chen to possess such immense power; her self-proclaimed invincible strength seemed utterly laughable in Xia Chen.
But she quickly calmed down, a smile appearing on her lips as she looked at the pale blue figure not far away. Then she turned her gaze back to Xia Chen and said:
"So what if you're stronger than me now? Can you kill me?"
"Unless your strength surpasses that of the Heavenly Dao, you absolutely cannot kill me!"
"Hahaha!"
"I admit I'm weaker than you, but I'll see how long you live. Even after you're dead, I can still carry out my plan!"
"At most, it will just be delayed by a few decades!"
"We've lived for over eight hundred years, what's a few decades more?"
Imu laughed loudly, feeling emboldened after knowing that she was out of danger and backed by the Heavenly Dao.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and swung his Jingu Bang again, sending another shockwave hurtling towards Imu.
However, Imu seemed not to see anything and just stood there blankly, because she knew that Heavenly Dao would definitely protect her.
She didn't even need to lift a finger!
As the 'eldest son' of Heavenly Dao, she has this confidence!
However--
The reality was beyond his expectations; the shockwave struck him directly without any obstruction, instantly blasting her away...
