The long robe moved without wind, fluttering freely and exuding a powerful aura that enveloped an area of five miles in radius.
Yan Shaozhe lay on the ground, his bright red eyes struggling to open as he looked at Long Xiaoyao and Shadow, who were standing opposite each other.
Long Xiaoyao placed the two people he was holding on the ground, his hands trembling unnaturally, and his eyes warily turned to Huo Yuhao opposite him.
He was secretly shocked. "Who is this person? Even at my peak, why have I never seen such strength before?"
Huo Yuhao squinted at Long Xiaoyao in the distance, then turned around, made a sword gesture with his right hand, and swung it forward.
Two thin beams of sword light instantly slashed through the ropes binding Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.
As the rope snapped, the two fell forward simultaneously, but a pair of large hands caught them both and pulled them into an embrace.
The soft, unconscious woman in his arms was breathing steadily, and Huo Yuhao carefully examined her.
"Thankfully, everything's alright. Since that's the case, let's relax a bit," Huo Yuhao murmured.
Then, dark purple Soul Power appeared in his hands, transforming into two large hands that slowly brought the two people to Yan Shaozhe's side.
Yan Shaozhe had little strength left. With his last breath, he waved his hand, and a golden barrier completely enveloped the three of them.
Yan Shaozhe was puzzled, wondering why the Shadow had appeared here.
Why would they help me rescue Xiao Xiao and the other person? Shouldn't they be enemies?
Amidst this confusion, Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Long Xiaoyao, who was setting Bei Bei and the other person down.
Huo Yuhao's lips curled up, and suddenly, an invisible pressure surged forth from Huo Yuhao body.
In an instant, it enveloped Long Xiaoyao!
Long Xiaoyao dared not be careless. The terrifying pressure instantly caused his body to bend downwards, and black scales continued to grow from his skin.
As more and more scales appeared on Long Xiaoyao's body, the pressure on his body gradually decreased, and he straightened up again.
Huo Yuhao clenched his right hand towards the air, and the long sword that was originally stuck in the ground flew straight up.
It circled in the air, its sharp blade seemingly capable of cleaving through space, before landing straight in Huo Yuhao's hand.
At this moment, Long Xiaoyao's hands on the opposite side had completely transformed into two pitch-black dragon claws.
Her once silvery-white hair had turned jet black, and even the wrinkles on her skin had disappeared.
Huo Yuhao sized him up, his smile undiminished. "You're quite interesting. You're much stronger than Mu En in his normal state."
"However, it's a pity that they will ultimately become slaves to that divinity; how pitiful..."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and sighed, then his eyes lit up instantly, and a beam of extremely fast purple light shot out.
Long Xiaoyao's pupils contracted, he took a step outward, and his body immediately lunged to the side, a dragon claw-like pattern lighting up between his brows.
The light patterns lit up instantly, and a pitch-black light shield completely enveloped it.
boom!
The purple light streaked across space, distorting the surrounding environment, and suddenly struck the black light barrier.
The terrifying power was such that the soil and rocks outside the purple light turned into dust in the blink of an eye, and countless rays of purple light refracted out during the collision.
The bombardment struck the distant mountains, and the peaks, illuminated by its light, began to dim in color.
Then countless trees, grass, and rocks began to become transparent, their originally clear shapes becoming blurry. Subsequently, the space on the mountaintop distorted irregularly, transforming into a vortex.
The vortex swirled for two seconds, then the space suddenly returned to normal.
The massive mountaintop vanished in the blink of an eye!
Yan Shaozhe watched this scene in shock, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It's likely that Shadow held back when he was at Shrek; otherwise, with that attack alone, he probably wouldn't have just destroyed Sea God Island.
At the point where the purple light bombarded the barrier, several spatial vortexes appeared on the barrier, constantly twisting and turning, like electric drills trying to drill through the blackness.
However, the purple light bombarded for a full five seconds.
The surrounding mountains had all disappeared under Huo Yuhao's attack, and the barrier was now covered with only a dense network of cracks.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the purple light vanished, and a dragon claw suddenly shot out, punching a fist-sized hole in the barrier.
With a whoosh, the dragon claw abruptly retracted into the barrier, plunging everything into endless darkness.
Immediately afterwards!
Suddenly, a yellow eye opened in the dark cave, its vertical pupil staring intently at Huo Yuhao in the distance through the small opening.
An invisible sense of crisis filled Yan Shaozhe's heart.
Huo Yuhao met the dragon's eye head-on, his eyes still filled with disdain. He took a step forward and casually swung his right hand.
In the blink of an eye, two sword lights arrived one after the other!
The purple sword light magnified instantly in the dragon's eyes, and as the dragon's eyes trembled, the owner of the tortoise shell could no longer hold back.
"Roar!"
The earth-shattering dragon roar generated a sound wave three meters high, which spread outwards, lifting the rocks up and shattering the black shell at that moment.
A dragon claw shrouded in black light fearlessly met the two sword lights head-on.
With a sudden clench of his claws in mid-air, Long Xiaoyao transformed his claws into fists, channeling his power from his waist. His eyes lit up, and all his strength was concentrated in his right hand.
Buzz!
The two attacks collided, and the sound in the space seemed to be frozen in half, entering a brief pause.
"Scatter!"
Long Xiaoyao roared, his blood and qi boiling, veins bulging, and countless steam bursting from his body.
With a crack, an incredible fissure appeared on the sword light.
Crackling sounds echoed continuously, and finally, unable to hold on any longer, the two sword lights shattered and disappeared into the air.
Long Xiaoyao's eyes were arrogant, his face stern. "A mere attack is nothing to me. If that's all you've got, then don't blame me for showing no mercy."
After two clashes, he finally roughly estimated Huo Yuhao's strength, which should be roughly equal to his own.
However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was an unstable gap in his aura every half minute, which was his chance to win.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly as he looked at the confident old man opposite him.
His face showed confusion, and he thought to himself, "This Long Xiaoyao's defense is a bit weak, and his speed isn't fast either. If that sword energy had been a few seconds faster and stronger, he probably would have been dead."
"In that case, let's add some water..."
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, raising the black sword in his right hand once more, aiming it at the confident Long Xiaoyao.
Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly, took a step forward with his right foot, and his shadow suddenly spread out, enveloping Huo Yuhao opposite him.
Huo Yuhao looked down at the ground beneath his feet, which was completely stained black. He paused for a few seconds before raising his head without a care.
Without hesitation, Long Xiaoyao unleashed a black, spherical bolt of lightning from his claw, which crackled as he flipped his claw, sending the lightning striking the shadow directly.
Sizzle!
The falling lightning seemed to create a terrifying chemical reaction within the shadows.
In an instant, the area within the shadow transformed into a black inferno of lightning, the lightning devouring everything within its range and completely engulfing Huo Yuhao's body.
Countless black lightning bolts instantly enveloped him, completely binding Huo Yuhao's figure in place.
Boom!
Lightning crackled, and a black bolt of lightning, as thick as a thigh, struck Huo Yuhao directly.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao's body was shattered and obliterated on the spot!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You probably don't even realize that the fluctuations in your internal Soul Power that only occur every half minute are your weakness."
"The feeling of having your Soul Power instantly activated and then annihilated must be unpleasant..."
Long Xiaoyao waved his sleeve and said arrogantly, "I've been in the martial arts world for many years. To die at my hands is not a loss."
As he withdrew the Black Dragon Purgatory Domain from beneath his feet, a tall figure reappeared eerily.
Long Xiaoyao opened his eyes wide, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.
"How is this possible? This move of mine has never failed!"
Huo Yuhao rubbed the back of his neck and said lazily, "Not bad attack. Do you know what's most important in life?"
"It's about the right heat..."
