Chapter 2028 - 2017: Eastern King Battles Western King
"You’re not dead!" Mo Xiangxi stared in horror at the plummeting Lin Zifeng. At that moment, all his plans shattered. He thought those snapping thunder snares were enough to kill him, but he never expected that the opponent didn’t die!
"Damn it, I should have known that those snapping thunder snares weren’t enough to take your life!" Mo Xiangxi ground his teeth, realizing that underestimating Lin Zifeng had left him in a passive position.
However, he thought to himself that it was not a big deal after all; with the Heavenly Punishment Lord here, even if they couldn’t kill him, his subordinates would definitely suffer.
"Boom!"
The giant palm descended, almost completely covering Mo Xiangxi, giving him no room to escape.
The immense rebound force directly caused Mo Xiangxi’s internal organs to surge with blood. In a hurried counterattack, although he neutralized most of the damage, the contact with the divine rune generated a huge explosive energy. It almost killed him!
"Eastern Cultivator, care to battle with my Heavenly Punishment?"
At this moment, the blond man crushed the two marbles in his hands with a merciless grip!
"White Ghost, if you want to fight, then fight. Why so much nonsense?" Lin Zifeng, after defeating Mo Xiangxi, landed holding the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his right hand, his eyes sharp and gleaming.
Earlier, when they entered this forest, he sensed something unusual and discovered snapping thunder snares here. Lin Zifeng had pretty much guessed the ploy involved.
So when everyone else left, he triggered those thunder snares himself yet didn’t appear, even shredding his coat was his doing.
He thought such a petty trick wouldn’t fool Mo Xiangxi, but it turned out that this fool had such low intelligence and fell for it in the end.
"Interesting young man from the East, I’ve always admired the mysterious and powerful Eastern Cultivators. I am very pleased to see so many of you today," the Heavenly Punishment Lord smiled faintly, the handsome Western face showing great excitement. Though similar in age to Lin Zifeng, his strength among the Western Lords was exceptionally outstanding, earning him the title of a Western genius!
Mo Xiangxi stepped back to the side, quietly watching this battle at the peak between genius Lords of the West and the newly arising king from the East!
Even though he was no match for Lin Zifeng, Mo Xiangxi was not afraid at all.
The Heavenly Punishment Lord was exceptionally talented, with limitless potential, and even he might not be able to escape unscathed in front of this Lord, which attests to the strength of the Heavenly Punishment Lord.
Moreover, with so many powerful masters gathered in the Heavenly Punishment Domain, Mo Xiangxi was even less afraid of what Lin Zifeng could do to him. No matter how powerful the opponent was, his group of subordinates did not have extraordinary strength overall. They couldn’t get out of the Heavenly Punishment Domain.
"It seems this young Lord could be a very troublesome figure," the old man observed the battlefield, with Lin Zifeng and the Heavenly Punishment Lord slowly converging. Although an astounding battle had yet to erupt, from the overwhelming aura brewing between the two, this Western genius Lord didn’t seem to be even slightly weaker than him.
Even though Lin Zifeng had the supreme Holy Artifact, the Heavenly Painting Halberd, who knew if the opponent also had a mighty counter-holy artifact?
"Such thick Primordial Energy fluctuations; have you noticed that the guy seems to have some sort of important treasure on him?" The handsome man blinked. They all knew Lin Zifeng had the Magic Bracelet, which supplied endless Primordial Energy for his use, but the Heavenly Punishment Lord before them seemed to have similar treasures.
"Damn! Who knows if this condemned bastard has a Holy Artifact like the Heavenly Painting Halberd," everyone speculated.
"You’re very strong, quite suitable as my opponent." The Heavenly Punishment Lord stepped forward with a smile: "Hope you don’t disappoint me too much."
"Just as my cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck, I hope the Heavenly Punishment Lord can give me this opportunity," Lin Zifeng nodded with a smile.
Soon, the two became somewhat aloof. The powerful aura enveloped the surroundings.
"Step back!"
Jia Zhenjing shouted: "Everyone stay away."
This was a battle of kings of the younger generation from the East and West, a showdown between genius kings from different regions, absolutely not something ordinary people could withstand.
"Are you ready?" Lin Zifeng smirked wickedly, embedding the Heavenly Painting Halberd into the ground with a clang, showing no intention to use the Holy Artifact from the start.
"Oh? You’re not planning to use that Holy Artifact against me?" The Heavenly Punishment Lord looked at him with poorly concealed annoyance. If the opponent used the Holy Artifact against him, he might feel some pressure; if the opponent abandoned the idea of using the Holy Artifact, there was no sense of pressure whatsoever.
"To deal with you, there’s no need to use my Holy Artifact; you’re just too weak!" Lin Zifeng’s mouth shaped into an ’O’, his words dripping with disdain.
"Fine, then I would like to see on what grounds you’re so arrogant!"
Swish~
The Heavenly Punishment Lord coldly shouted, his eyes flashing with two sharp and cold gleams, like countless phantom arrows, striding forward to attack Lin Zifeng.
"Hmph~ Use all your strengths," Lin Zifeng said nonchalantly. Even without the Heavenly Painting Halberd, he could still defeat the opponent.
"Bang!"
They rushed like a hurricane; in an instant, Lin Zifeng’s Iron Fist launched a fierce strike, colliding savagely with the opponent’s fist. Then, Lin Zifeng flew backward, soaring into the air, with the Heavenly Punishment Lord also knocked back.
With just one move, neither had overpowered the other, but the energy contained in that punch was something only the two of them understood.
"Such tremendous power!"
Suspended in mid-air, Lin Zifeng marveled. The opponent not only had an incomparably strong physical body, but the power he unleashed was also overwhelmingly mighty. If his own physique weren’t robust, that prior clash might have injured him!
Likewise, the Heavenly Punishment Lord’s heart was turbulent; the opponent’s iron-like physical power was exceedingly rare.
In terms of strength, the Heavenly Punishment Lord roughly guessed that the opponent was not weaker than him, but regarding physical body, he was undeniably shocked and awed.
The formidable physical strength he once prided himself on did not give him much advantage here. This was why he calculated in his mind earlier that even if the opponent used the Holy Artifact, he wasn’t afraid.
Now thinking back, he was really in grave danger; if the opponent had indeed used the Holy Artifact, the pressure on him would have been much greater, raising serious doubts in his heart about whether he could defeat the opponent. Luckily, everything wasn’t as terrifying as he imagined.
"Damn! Will little Lin lose to that Heavenly Punishment bastard? Why do I feel that guy’s cultivation strength isn’t weak at all, especially his physical body? Did you see it before?
Clashing solidly with little Lin and coming out unscathed! Genius! An absolute genius. I never thought the West could have such heavenly-defying geniuses."
