Chapter 301: You, Young Lad, Are Truly Someone I Favor!
“Netherworld Celestial Domain!”
Hei Qing activated his Authority, delivering an incredibly terrifying strike.
“Excellent Play!”
Zhou Tong fiercely countered, not giving an inch.
“Vast Oceanic Floodwave! Star Shattering!”
The Authority of Law and the Authority of Water merged, clashing head-on and fell into a brief deadlock.
“Amplification Law!”
Zhou Tong sharply inhaled, his body glowing with light, and unleashed an all-out strike!
At this moment, the balance was completely shattered, Hei Qing’s Authority fell at a disadvantage. He was sent flying backward, voluntarily disengaging the Dharmakaya’s Formative Power, soaring into the high sky.
“Shall we have an aerial battle? I’ll accompany you!”
Zhou Tong also disengaged the Dharmakaya’s Formative Power, transforming into a streak of light, chasing after him!
With mighty strides, he instantaneously overtook his opponent, transforming into a vast thundercloud in the air.
“Boom!!”
Lightning flashed, thunderbolts danced, and countless calamity-level thunderbolts hammered towards Hei Qing, making him akin to a small boat in a mad torrent, teetering on the brink of capsizing at any moment.
“Roar!!”
In the next moment, Hei Qing altered his posture, turning into a five-clawed Divine Dragon, ascending straight to the heavens. A single roar shattered strands of killing light, intent on tearing apart this tumultuous thundering sky!
“Truly Skilled!”
In the Void, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. The dark clouds condensed, he then transformed into an enormous celestial eagle, clawing at the Divine Dragon’s vital points.
Not to be outdone, the opponent transformed into a Qilin, smashing the heavens and earth, attempting to stomp the celestial eagle underfoot!
“How frightening! Actually able to fight the True Lord to a draw, where are you from?”
From afar, Yin Chen Nan and others watched in utter astonishment. In the blink of an eye, the two had already transformed into myriad Dharmakayas.
The Dharmakaya of ordinary people could only be released outside the body, but reaching the Formless Realm enabled the fusion of the self with the Formless Dharma, turning into anything imaginable.
At this exact moment, they themselves were the Dharmakaya, and the Dharmakaya was themselves!
“Time Suspension!”
Suddenly, Zhou Tong returned to his true form, seizing a momentary advantage.
“Slash!!”
Without hesitation, he wielded the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber and struck it upon the Golden-Mesh Armor!
The terrifying force shattered space and time, yet Hei Qing merely flew back, showing no severe injuries.
“Could this guy… possibly possess an indestructible body?”
Zhou Tong questioned, ready to continue the chase. Suddenly, his opponent vanished from view.
“Fast!”
Zhou Tong shouted in surprise, instantly transforming into a Golden-Winged Roc, flying nine thousand miles on a single wing, in pursuit.
As they drew close, Hei Qing once again used his secret art!
“Movement Art!”
This move unleashed a speed nearly touching the realms of time, leaving Zhou Tong behind once more.
“Heaven-defying Eye!!”
With no other choice, Zhou Tong revealed his final trump card. The third eye suddenly opened, capable of locking onto the opponent no matter the distance, nullifying Hei Qing’s secret art.
“Take this, Art of Arms!”
In the next moment, the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber turned into a Divine Bow that Pierces the Sun. Zhou Tong drew the bow and fired, delivering a strike through the void, one capable of victory!
However, at this moment, dual streaks of golden fire burst from the opponent’s eyes — another peerless Dharma Eye, blocking the Heaven-defying Eye. With a staff swipe, Hei Qing knocked away the Divine Sun Piercing arrow!
Zhou Tong’s heart trembled as he observed the smile on his opponent’s lips.
“Not good!”
Now without his divine weapon in hand and with the opponent possessing unmatched speed, the situation turned unfavorable for Zhou Tong.
Indeed, Hei Qing again activated the Movement Art, stepped through empty space, and in a flash, launched a surprise counterattack!
At the critical moment, Zhou Tong acted calmly despite the panic, invoking the Six Combinations Annihilation Sword.
“Heavenly Sword, Armageddon Lotus!”
A seven-colored lotus blossomed forth, strikingly alluring, yet filled with the energy of destruction.
However, this rushed move clearly wasn’t enough to contend against Hei Qing as he shattered the lotus with brute force and pressed his advantage aggressively!
“Art of Arms!”
Zhou Tong made a move again, blocking the attack with his palm, treating Hei Qing as his weapon, then hurled him away!
This brief reprieve allowed the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber to return to Zhou Tong’s grasp, leveling the playing field once more.
“Things can’t go on like this.”
The Mirror spoke again: “The two of you are perfectly matched. Neither of you can defeat the other.”
“So what?”
“I’ll lend you a hand!”
“You’ll take action yourself?”
“Exactly!”
At the moment of exchange, Hei Qing attacked again, giving Zhou Tong no chance to catch his breath.
However, within Zhou Tong’s body, the Mirror activated the Sacred Artifact Marker, transforming it once again into a silver ring.
“Retreat! This must end!”
The Mirror spoke gravely, holding the banana leaf fan, a weapon crafted from the wing of a Golden-Winged Roc. A gentle wave created a terrifying tornado, disrupting Hei Qing’s posture.
“Great chance!”
The four Slashing麟 Mirrors acted swiftly, seizing the opportunity to throw the ring, which struck Hei Qing’s forehead!
“AHH!!”
This strike utterly broke through Hei Qing’s defenses, causing him to plummet straight down.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Tong landed above him, delivering a decisive strike with his saber.
“BOOM!!”
With a explosive sound, Hei Qing burst apart in the air, blood mist dispersing, his soul and spirit utterly vanishing!
“This can’t be true! How could the True Battle Lord die? This isn’t real!”
“From afar, Yin Chen Nan directly fell apart, kneeling down mumbling to himself, his face incredibly pale!”
“Master, the True Lord has disappeared, and that young man is missing as well!”
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly!
“What??”
The man abruptly raised his eyes, indeed unable to find Zhou Tong’s figure.
“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? Was he really gone?”
“Yes, he simply vanished into thin air, as if disappearing with the True Lord!”
Hearing these words, Yin Chen Nan first paused, then revealed an almost imperceptible smirk.
“Apologies…but I must let you sleep for a while first.”
“What did you say?”
His subordinates questioned quietly, but the next moment, Yin Chen Nan’s body shuddered, knocking everyone around him unconscious!
…
Zhou Tong opened his eyes, realizing he had been transported to a strange space.
Yet, he didn’t panic in the slightest, flying straight toward the center of the space.
Looking afar, there lay a splendid land, shining brilliantly. Grass and water flowed below, endlessly thriving. Waterfalls reflected sunlight above, with auspicious vapors piercing rainbows — absolutely a rare and priceless treasure land.
“How leisurely you are!”
Zhou Tong stood in the void, seeing a man sprawled beneath him, a strand of fresh grass dangling from his lips, with a pillar-like gold staff planted beside him — a picture completely different from his fighting form!
“Thanks to you, young one!”
“You truly owe me thanks. Otherwise, you would not have been able to fake your death so easily.”
Zhou Tong descended from the sky, sitting opposite the man.
“When did you realize my intentions?” Hei Qing smiled and asked.
“I realized it the moment I blocked your first staff strike.”
Zhou Tong explained, “Your strike was forceful but light, not enough to kill Zhe Mei. Moreover, you used a fake-death technique to let her escape quietly!”
“HAHAHA…”
Hei Qing burst out laughing!
“You, young lad, are truly someone I favor!”
