Volume 1: Crossing the Water Cavern Chapter 129: The Battle of Lüjia Mountain (Three) Reading Xianxia Novels at Zero Point
As a result, tens of thousands of Arhats were unable to form an array and became mere decorations, and naturally they could not threaten the various Demon Kings. The battle was only between the Taiyi True Immortals and the Golden Immortal-level powerhouses to determine victory or defeat.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lei Hao's eyes quickly swept across the entire battlefield.
Looking at the overall situation of this battle, the strongest is King Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. His cultivation is specifically very high. With Lei Hao's current cultivation, it's still a bit hard to see, but it will only be higher than Niu Mo Wang and won't be lower than him. It's already not easy for Niu Mo Wang to drag King Ksitigarbha down and maintain an undefeated record!
And the Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva are both at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and it seems that these two bodhisattvas also have a set of combined attack techniques. The Lion Camel King, who is also at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, will probably not be able to hold on for much longer.
As for the Monkey King and the two demons, although their combined strength was greater than one plus one equals two, after all, their opponent was the Ling Shan Ming Wang, a late-stage Golden Immortal, so it would be very difficult to escape even temporarily.
"It seems that the key to this battle is still on me and Second Brother's body." Lei Hao thought to himself after figuring out the situation in front of him.
Lei Hao's thoughts were indeed correct. Although Pu Xian was a top-notch Taizhen True Immortal, Lei Hao's current cultivation was not inferior to his. He was a dual-element cultivator who had reached the peak of Golden Immortality! He was absolutely one of the top five strongest Golden Immortals in the Three Realms! Moreover, Lei Hao had clashed with Pu Xian multiple times and knew his strength inside out. So although it seemed that Pu Xian's cultivation was still a notch higher than Lei Hao's, from a certain perspective, the odds were actually greatly in Lei Hao's favor!
Although Jiaomo Wang was also fighting one against two, Guanyin's strength was originally not much different from his, and Jinzha's strength was only at the Golden Immortal level, so it was actually his pressure that was the best.
Lei Hao's mind flashed with many thoughts, while Pu Xian saw Lei Hao behead hundreds of Arhats in one stroke. Immediately, his anger ignited and he grasped the long sword in his hand, like a shooting star, creating a long spatial rift, carrying an unstoppable aura as he charged towards Lei Hao.
Lei Hao was not to be outdone, swinging the Dragon Slayer in his hand, taking a step forward and shouting loudly: "Earth Splitter." Then a blood-colored sword energy dozens of feet long suddenly burst out from the body of the Dragon Slayer, rushing towards Lei Pu Xian with overwhelming force. Meanwhile, Lei Hao's figure flashed once, holding the Dragon Slayer tightly as he followed the Earth Splitter sword energy in a charge towards Pu Xian.
Pu Xian saw the earth-shattering knife energy, his eyes widened, and he thrust his sword forward like a flash of lightning. A golden majestic sword energy flashed by, piercing through Lei Hao's knife energy and creating a human-shaped hole. Pu Xian then passed through this large hole.
Just after passing through the knife aura, Lei Hao rushed up with his knife and collided heavily with Pu Xian. The two massive forces of impact stirred up a wave of golden and blood-colored ripples in the air, like a giant tidal wave.
Lei Hao then fought alongside Pu Xian.
This exchange of blows was a full-strength effort from both men, truly an incredibly brilliant battle!
Pu Xian hated Lei Hao for ruining the good things of their three brothers, and even more so for killing his brother who had supported him for tens of thousands of years. With each move, he fought with his life on the line, his long sword darting about like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, ceaselessly appearing at all the vital points on Lei Hao's body. The golden sword energy was also wildly shooting out from the tip of the sword, vowing to kill Lei Hao under the sword.
Lei Hao also hated Pu Xian for the hundreds of years that his vengeful spirit had been entwining them, and he himself had almost died at Pu Xian's sword several times. So, gritting his teeth, he quickly swung the Dragon Slaying Knife in his hand towards Pu Xian. The spiritual Dragon Slaying Knife seemed to recognize its old enemy, Pu Xian, as it continuously let out ear-splitting roars, and the divine dragon on the blade kept circling around the hilt.
A Bodhisattva and a demon, the more they fought, the greater their anger in their hearts, the faster their hands moved. After hundreds of rounds, all that could be seen in the sky were residual shadows, but nowhere could Pu Xian and Lei Hao's figures be found. Only golden sword energy and crimson knife energy burst forth in all directions from time to time, shattering who knows how much space, slaughtering countless Arhats.
At this moment, Lei Hao's eyes were filled with excitement, it had been a long time since he had experienced such an intense and thrilling battle! The last time was against Nezha or Yang Jian?
Lei Hao felt his entire body's muscles trembling uncontrollably, convulsing wildly, and his blood was like a 200-meter sprint car racing frantically through his veins, as if it was going to burst out of his blood vessels, staining the sky and earth.
Lei Hao was like a madman at this moment, constantly telling himself to be faster, and even faster! To be heavier, and even heavier! He urgently needed destruction, urgently needed slaughter to vent the violent energy inside his body. He felt that if he didn't do so, the next moment would bring an explosion of power that would destroy his own body.
"Kill him, kill him, KILL HIM!" Lei Hao's face turned blue with rage, his voice bursting out three consecutive "kill"s. His body seemed to break through some sort of bottleneck, and with each loud shout, the Dragon Slayer in his hand would surge with an additional burst of power; with each loud shout, the force behind his blows would increase by another notch; with each loud shout, Lei Hao's entire being would become even more filled with vital energy.
The sound fell, and the Dragon Slayer in Lei Hao's hand instantly transformed into a blood-colored python, carrying an aura of devouring heaven and earth as it charged towards Pu Xian. The open mouth seemed to be about to swallow Pu Xian whole.
Puxian's face was also ferocious at this time, his eyes were straight and piercing, he felt very good, very good! It was as if he had returned to the mid-Honghuang period, when he had just transformed into a human, there was no Puxian Zhenren, nor was there a Puxian Bodhisattva; There was no calculation, no pretence! There was only one Puxian Daoist who fought desperately for survival and for the sake of seeking the Way, constantly killing and washing the land with blood.
He was like a ferocious beast that had been unleashed, bursting forth with an unprecedented dazzling radiance!
He heard Lei Hao's explosive drink, and immediately his eyes were wide open, shouting: "Blood stained the sky." With his explosive drink, the sword in his hand burst into the void, and at the same time, a vast sea of blood surged from Pu Xian's ancient long sword, with countless vengeful spirits wailing and screaming in the bloody sea.
It looked as if Puxian was pushing a massive sea of blood towards Leihao.
In the distance, Guanyin, who was fighting against Jiaomowang, caught a glimpse of the blood sea under Pu Xian's sword with the corner of his eye. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to himself: "That Seventh Brother is back." He was immediately interrupted by Jiaomowang's attack.
A deafening crash, Lei Hao and Pu Xian's space within dozens of kilometers were all destroyed by two extremely violent energies, a huge black hole appeared in the high altitude.
The massive movement made all the fighting demon kings and Ling Mountain's great powers stop their actions, with some fear and worry in their eyes as they looked towards the black hole.
The space at the edge of the black hole is still expanding bit by bit, a transparent spatial turbulence flows silently from the black hole, and everything that passes through it is annihilated.
Everyone present was not a fool and had long since retreated to a hundred miles away, staring intently at the interior of the black hole.
After a breath, a colorful light suddenly appeared in the sky and shone directly into the black hole. The black hole, which had been slowly expanding just now, quickly shrunk down.
When the black hole shrunk down to only a few dozen feet in size, Lei Hao and Pu Xian both emerged from it somewhat disheveled.
At this time, only Lei Hao and Pu Xian were seen to be in a miserable state. The purple cloak on Lei Hao's body had been reduced to mere tatters still clinging to his body. His outer flesh was covered with dense, baby-mouth-like wounds.
Lei Hao carelessly pulled off the tattered cloak covering his body, revealing his robust physique. With a battle intent that shook the heavens, he pointed at Pu Xian with his Dragon-Slaying Finger and said: "This king has found you to be a worthy opponent for the first time, so this king has decided... to kill you."
Puxian raised an eyebrow, similarly tearing off his tattered monk's robe, and then said seriously: "I also think you're a great demon king for the first time. So, I've decided to let you kill." After speaking, Puxian lightly drew out a sword, with a majestic and ethereal bearing, as if a celestial being had descended into the world. The sword stabbed towards Leihao, and all the space in front of him was shrouded in a transparent glass-like enclosure, looking hazy and indistinct.
Lei Hao laughed twice and said, "You really can't stand being praised. I thought you were a unique individual just now, but it turns out you're still the same old trick. You've used this world's power on me so many times already, do you think it still has any effect on me?"
Pu Xian didn't respond, his eyes fixed intently on the sword tip, as if he was absolutely certain that this one sword would pierce Lei Hao's heart.
Lei Hao didn't hold back, raising his knife and with a single powerful slash, a blood-red blade aura dozens of feet long burst forth towards Pu Xian.
After a breath, Lei Hao felt something was off. His knife energy had landed on Pu Xian's sword body, but it was like water flowing against a stubborn rock. Pu Xian's figure didn't even tremble, to say nothing of being split open by the attack. To be sure, in the past, Pu Xian's world force could have been easily cleaved apart by Lei Hao's knife.
Lei Hao's face sank, looking at Pu Xian's appearance, this move was certainly his strongest move, it seemed he wanted to decide life and death with one move!
"Ten thousand demons, receive this move of mine, Breaking the Void!" At this time, Pu Xian's face shone with an unparalleled confidence, and he shouted loudly at Lei Hao from afar.
The distant Ox King saw Pu Xian's sword move and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. After being hit by the Earth Store King's Zen stick, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Old Seventh, retreat quickly!"
Will Lei Hao retire? The answer is definitely no!
Faced with Pu Xian's majestic and radiant sword, Lei Hao couldn't retreat. If he retreated now, the fighting spirit he had just ignited would be dampened, and how could he still hold his knife to fight against Pu Xian afterwards?
At this moment, Lei Hao suddenly understood why Nezha was willing to die rather than retreat that day.
There are times when it's really possible to die but not retreat!
