Chapter 538 - 532: Golden Roc Battles Xiang Liu
Xiang Liu is a Tier Two Peak Expert!
As soon as he made a move, under the guidance of the black water, the Giant City formed by the seawater from the Silent Sea began to twist and warp.
At this moment, Black Dragon Heaven and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings are already doing their best to stabilize the Giant City.
However, even if their powers are combined, they temporarily cannot match Xiang Liu of Tier Two Peak.
If no other Tier Two Peak expert intervenes, this Giant City is likely to collapse.
The Giant City on the Silent Sea is not ordinary; it is formed by the Star Array of Black Dragon Heaven and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings.
This Giant City can withstand energy attacks below Tier Two, and even Tier Two (excluding Tier Two Peak) energy attacks can be resisted temporarily.
This means that anyone below Tier Two wanting to attack this Giant City can only besiege it like ancient soldiers.
Seeing the Giant City about to collapse, Black Dragon Heaven thought to himself, "Why hasn’t Elder Bai made a move yet?"
"This Elder Bai, is he reliable or not."
The Elder Bai mentioned by Black Dragon Heaven is naturally Elder Bai himself.
Elder Bai had promised Black Dragon Heaven that anything under Tier Two would be handled by Black Dragon Heaven, while anything above would be handled by Elder Bai.
This battle at the Silent Sea is crucial.
This battle can be lost, but the World Honored One Sect must be severely depleted of its living forces.
So, Elder Bai certainly won’t ignore it.
Seeing that Black Dragon Heaven is about to be overwhelmed, Elder Bai instructed the Golden-Winged Roc, "Quick, go deal with Xiang Liu."
"Understood!" The Golden-Winged Roc disappeared upon responding.
Xiang Liu’s true form is, after all, a snake.
And the Golden-Winged Roc’s true form belongs to the bird category.
Birds are the natural enemies of snakes, so the Golden-Winged Roc dealing with Xiang Liu is a specialized task.
It must be said, the strategy of Elder Bai, like a wise general riding horses of different quality against one another, is played brilliantly.
"Jieh jieh jieh!" A laugh emanates from above the Silent Sea, as Xiang Liu devours the elders of the Soul Hall.
Seeing the Giant City about to collapse, Xiang Liu is naturally very pleased.
"To think a mere Black Dragon Heaven dares to oppose the World Honored One. Truly they have no idea what death means!" Xiang Liu thought to himself.
However, just as Xiang Liu was feeling triumphant, he suddenly sensed a cold gleam growing on his back.
It was a harrowing feeling, and in an instant, the scales on his back bristled.
Bear in mind, Xiang Liu has no fewer than nine heads, observing and hearing in all directions.
Indeed, in the sky directly above, he noticed a golden speck.
The golden speck descended closer and closer, and Xiang Liu realized what it was.
The Golden-Winged Roc.
Xiang Liu and the Golden-Winged Roc were old acquaintances.
No, more accurately, they were old adversaries.
Therefore, Xiang Liu naturally recognized the Golden-Winged Roc at first glance.
"No wonder a mere Black Dragon Heaven dares to oppose the World Honored One."
"It turns out they have the backing of those with the surname Bai."
"Looks like the Chongming Bird is likely also in their hands," Xiang Liu mused.
There was no time for Xiang Liu to think further as the Golden-Winged Roc had already transformed back into its original form, diving down from the sky.
As they say, when enemies meet, they can see red.
Without saying a word, Xiang Liu whipped his tail towards the Golden-Winged Roc in the sky.
In terms of speed, the Golden-Winged Roc was definitely faster.
But in terms of strength, Xiang Liu had the upper hand.
Seeing Xiang Liu swing his tail towards him, the smart Golden-Winged Roc glided sideways to evade the descending tail.
He then maneuvered back to Xiang Liu’s snake spine, and with his talons like hooks, he viciously clawed downwards.
With a single swipe, a large section of Xiang Liu’s scales was flung away with a "tear" sound, and a large piece of snake flesh was torn off, blood splattering everywhere.
"Ah!"
Xiang Liu cried out in pain.
As soon as they met, in the first trial, Xiang Liu was injured by the Golden-Winged Roc.
This clearly demonstrated that the Golden-Winged Roc effectively countered Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu and the Golden-Winged Roc were both beasts, and by reason, physical combat was their strong suit, their lethal move.
However, beasts also have natural enemies; snakes are restrained by birds.
Seeing that physical combat was failing to give him an advantage, Xiang Liu resorted to energy attacks.
Surrounded by writhing black water, Xiang Liu’s surroundings formed millions of black arrows.
"Whish!"
"Whish! Whish!"
The next moment, a deafening whoosh filled the air as these black arrows shot towards the Golden-Winged Roc.
All things in the world revolve around natural counteraction.
What do birds fear the most?
Birds fear nothing more than arrows.
Hence, Xiang Liu aimed to replicate the classic "shoot the great bird with a bow."
As thousands of arrows rained down, the Golden-Winged Roc remained unperturbed. Out flew inches of golden feathers from his body.
The feathers turned into countless flying swords, infused with the energy of metal, slicing towards the barrage of arrows.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang!"
The golden flying swords clashed with the black arrows, producing the ringing sound of metal, causing storms above the Silent Sea due to the violent energies.
After an intense clash, the black arrows and golden swords both shattered, leaving Xiang Liu and the Golden-Winged Roc at a stalemate.
"Continue the assault, I’ll take down the Golden-Winged Roc!" Xiang Liu commanded his followers amidst the chaos.
His followers, still advancing on the Giant City, witnessed as Xiang Liu and the Golden-Winged Roc began a new round of battle above the Silent Sea.
Both Xiang Liu and the Golden-Winged Roc were Tier Two Peak powerhouses, with bearable differences in strength.
Even with the Golden-Winged Roc’s natural advantage over Xiang Liu, it wasn’t possible to quickly decide the battle.
After all, not everyone was like the Peacock Great Ming King, whose strength was nearly invincible at the same level.
In terms of attribute laws, the Golden-Winged Roc mastered the manipulation of metal.
While the Peacock Great Ming King’s Five-Colored Divine Light excelled in mastering all five elements to their peak.
The north of the Silent Sea battle grew increasingly intense.
Seeing this, Lady Ming King began to worry.
Originally, Lady Ming King believed that with the full power of the sect, taking down the Silent Sea and eliminating Black Dragon Heaven should be easy.
To her surprise, the battle proved so difficult, even the Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha was at a disadvantage.
"Order an attack from the east, west, and south as well." Lady Ming King shouted in anger.
Leading the army personally this time, she couldn’t permit herself to be on the losing side.
Hearing this, Guangzhi Arhat was taken aback.
Guangzhi Arhat thought to himself, there wasn’t any military strategy like this!
Who would reveal all their cards just because of a slight disadvantage?
"Lady Ming King, please reconsider!"
"This..."
"This battle requires careful deliberation!" Guangzhi Arhat reminded from the side.
