Chapter 520 - 516: Astounding the Ancient Road
Fire!
Caught between the two of them, a scorching flame erupted in Lin Hao’s eyes.
Yang Qingtian and Young Master Moon froze simultaneously.
Lin Hao’s gaze made them feel an aura of annihilation; the flame seemed capable of devouring everything.
In the moment they hesitated, Lin Hao, who had just been on the ground, stood up.
Then, Lin Hao did something that shocked everyone.
Instead of retreating, Lin Hao advanced, split into two, and charged straight at them.
The crowd’s eyes widened like saucers, stunned by Lin Hao’s actions.
After all, Yang Qingtian and Young Master Moon were both among the Ten Great Young Masters. The cultivation of either one was by no means inferior to He Jundao’s.
Now, with the two of them joining forces, not only did Lin Hao not retreat, but he actually took the offensive. Was he trying to get himself killed?!
And why were there suddenly two identical Lin Haos?!
However, the crowd’s shock had only just begun.
Because they immediately discovered that Yang Qingtian and Young Master Moon were actually retreating.
Faced with Lin Hao, two of the Ten Great Young Masters had actually chosen to fall back.
How was that possible?!
But the situation before them left no room for disbelief.
Everyone was confused.
Yang Qingtian and Young Master Moon’s expressions turned ugly.
They didn’t want to retreat either, but right now, Lin Hao felt like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
The scorching aura emanating from Lin Hao was so intense that even they felt a sense of dread.
They had attacked simultaneously, intending to kill Lin Hao, only to be forced back by him. For the two of them, this was an absolute disgrace.
They would not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, they both moved at the same time.
Without forming hands of True Essence, their figures shot backward as they each sent a palm strike across the distance.
The two Lin Haos in the middle instantly merged back into one, then shot up from the ground.
The Palm Forces unleashed by Yang Qingtian and Young Master Moon collided in mid-air.
Talismans lit up in the void, but they still couldn’t completely block out the sound.
A tremendous crash echoed as the very world seemed to tremble. In the distance, the towering Wangchuan City even appeared to be shaking.
This single strike from the two of them was the very definition of peak combat power.
Lin Hao, now in mid-air, moved again.
Two Lin Haos appeared, attacking both of them simultaneously.
Fast. Impossibly fast.
Lin Hao’s body turned into a streak of light, appearing before them in the blink of an eye.
HISS!
All around, there was nothing but the sound of sharp gasps.
Putting the outcome aside, Lin Hao’s action alone was earth-shattering!
To single-handedly take on two of the Ten Great Young Masters—who but Lin Hao would dare?!
It could be said that Lin Hao had become the most dazzling person on the battlefield.
That’s right. He Jundao’s demise was also single-handedly caused by Lin Hao.
’Could it be that Lin Hao is about to create an unprecedented miracle on the Starry Ancient Road and kill three of the Ten Great Young Masters?’
Such a thought flashed through one Martial Artist’s mind.
But just as quickly, the thought vanished without a trace.
Because the tide of battle had turned.
The Lin Hao dueling Yang Qingtian was sent flying again, spitting blood.
At the same time, the Lin Hao dueling Young Master Moon was annihilated.
Before the Ten Great Young Masters, Lin Hao’s combat power was still too weak.
This time, the two didn’t choose to press the attack up close. Instead, they struck simultaneously, forming swords of True Essence.
Their True Essence was astonishing. In an instant, a True Essence sword materialized in each of their hands, which they then swung down at Lin Hao.
Fast. It was too fast.
Not only was it fast, but its might was also heaven-shaking.
The space between them was briefly sealed, trapping Lin Hao in the middle.
The True Essence swords in their hands seemed to possess the power to annihilate everything, even tearing the void itself.
Lin Hao, caught below, was about to be obliterated.
At that moment, Lin Hao was under unprecedented pressure.
The might they projected was too astonishing. They actually possessed the ability to briefly seal the void—a power far beyond that of their peers.
Moreover, these two were overly cautious, and their Spiritual Sense was absurdly powerful. They had chosen not to engage in close-quarters combat.
This rendered some of Lin Hao’s techniques useless.
Lin Hao had absolute confidence in his own techniques.
Namely, the Flowing Light Divine Flame!
This was his trump card.
Lin Hao’s cultivation had now reached the Seventh Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm, and he had long been able to channel the Flowing Light Divine Flame into his body.
That was the reason for the strange phenomenon in his eyes just now.
Lin Hao had never used this trump card before. When Yang Qingtian and Young Master Moon had charged at him earlier, he had already considered unleashing the Flowing Light Divine Flame.
But their powerful Spiritual Sense had made them hesitate.
Now, Lin Hao was caught in a dilemma.
’If I use the Flowing Light Divine Flame, they’ll definitely be able to escape from this distance. Plus, who knows how many of the Martial Artists here would die in its path.’
While Lin Hao couldn’t be described as someone who killed indiscriminately, he had indeed taken many lives.
But Lin Hao only killed those who deserved to die and never slaughtered the innocent. The Martial Artists here had no grievance with him, and he would not sacrifice their lives for his own sake.
As his thoughts raced, Lin Hao decided not to use the Flowing Light Divine Flame.
The next moment, his True Self Divine Soul reappeared, and Lin Hao’s entire body began to glow.
As the two True Essence swords slashed down, Lin Hao’s body shifted sideways.
However, their attacks hadn’t lost their momentum. As Lin Hao moved, the two True Essence swords simultaneously swung horizontally, slashing toward him.
The blow was too fast; Lin Hao had no way to dodge it.
But Lin Hao’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He struck out at the same time, meeting their True Essence swords with his bare hands.
Young Master Moon sneered.
In the Moon Worship Kingdom, whenever he used his True Essence sword, not even a Martial Artist at the Soul Gathering Realm Peak would dare to meet it with their bare flesh as Lin Hao was doing.
In Young Master Moon’s eyes, this move was undoubtedly suicide.
Despite thinking this, Young Master Moon didn’t underestimate his opponent. His True Essence sword actually grew more solid. Moreover, it had turned cyan.
Young Master Moon had even activated his bloodline power.
With the cautionary tale of He Jundao before him, Young Master Moon would not allow any mishaps.
As for Yang Qingtian, his expression also grew more solemn.
Lin Hao’s earlier performance warranted his caution.
Under Yang Qingtian’s control, his True Essence sword became even more brilliant, and a similar cyan aura swirled around it.
Faintly, both True Essence swords emanated an aura of invincibility.
Lin Hao’s body was glowing, and his True Self Divine Soul became equally divine. At the same time, his hands turned transparent, then dream-like and illusory, giving off a surreal feeling.
And amidst it all, a faint red light flickered.
Lin Hao was not only simultaneously circulating the Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill and the Divine Illumination Scripture, but he had also activated his Body Separation Secret Skill and the Flowing Light Divine Flame.
It could be said that Lin Hao was using every ounce of power at his disposal.
The next moment, Lin Hao’s hands collided with the two True Essence swords.
To be precise, just as they were about to make contact, Lin Hao took the initiative and reached out to grab both True Essence swords.
When they touched, the massive collision everyone expected did not happen.
The scene fell utterly silent.
Everything seemed to stop.
Suddenly...
