Chapter 222: Fierce Battle
"BANG!"
The two giant beasts slammed down hard. The ground around their feet cracked with a CRACK and caved in, forming a large crater.
The massive shockwave sent everyone nearby flying.
"Slash!"
Shen Daoxing leaped high into the air, raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow above his head, and brought it down fiercely on one of the beasts.
"CLANG!"
A sound like a bell being struck rang out.
The Great Ming Demon Sparrow smashed into the beast’s head, creating a burst of dazzling sparks, but only left a white mark.
Clearly, these two giant beasts were no ordinary creatures; they couldn’t be dealt with by normal means.
Inside Shen Daoxing’s body, his Seven-Colored Profound Platform began to rotate, glowing brightly.
SZZZZT! Venerable Power, like arcs of black lightning, quietly emerged and gathered on Shen Daoxing’s arm.
He once again raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow, now imbued with a power that could annihilate anything, and swung it down.
However, at that moment...
The Venerable Power gathered on his arm suddenly disobeyed him. It dispersed into countless points of light, flowing into his limbs and torso. It roamed about freely, like a mischievous child who had found something new and refused to leave it alone.
Shen Daoxing faltered for a second, surprised.
"CLANG!"
A sound like a bell being struck rang out.
The Great Ming Demon Sparrow in Shen Daoxing’s hand landed on the beast’s head, creating a shower of sparks but only leaving a white mark.
"ROAR!"
The bronze beast seemed to have been angered. It let out a great roar and lunged forward, its massive, terrifying maw wide open.
Just as the beast’s sharp teeth were about to clamp down on Shen Daoxing...
"TAP! TAP! TAP!"
...Shen Daoxing lightly tapped his toes on the beast’s teeth and leaped away, effortlessly dodging its attack.
However, just as he leaped, the other giant beast lunged at him from behind.
"Break!"
Shen Daoxing spun around, his palm snapping into a fist with a crackling sound as he threw a ferocious punch.
"BANG!"
With a dull thud, the bronze beast’s advance halted, and it was sent flying backward like an arrow.
At that same moment, the other bronze beast swung its massive tail, smashing it into Shen Daoxing.
"BOOM!"
Shen Daoxing was slammed viciously into the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
But the next moment, as the dust settled, Shen Daoxing’s hands were already clamped around the bronze beast’s tail.
He heaved with both arms, his body spinning as he suddenly began to swing the bronze beast.
One spin, two spins, three spins, four spins...
The bronze beast that had been knocked away had just gotten to its feet when, with a BANG, Shen Daoxing smashed it back down.
Then, Shen Daoxing released his grip, and the beast in his hands shot out like an arrow with a WHOOSH.
"BOOM!"
The bronze beast crashed heavily against the stone wall, creating a massive boom that shook the entire cave.
The two bronze beasts shook their heads and staggered to their feet, seeming a bit dazed.
Then...
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
Two deafening roars echoed throughout the entire space.
The two bronze beasts seemed to be completely enraged.
They suddenly snorted jets of hot air from their nostrils and stomped a hoof heavily on the ground.
"HUMMM!"
A strange hum suddenly sounded in Shen Daoxing’s ears. In that instant, an immense force, like the weight of a mountain, came crashing down.
Shen Daoxing felt the pressure on his body multiply several times over.
The veins on his skin bulged as he was forced to bend at the waist.
The gravity in the entire area had increased to several times its normal level.
Several of the weaker individuals spat out mouthfuls of blood and fainted on the spot.
The onlookers were horrified, staring blankly at Shen Daoxing. ’Dude, why didn’t you just go for the bronze door? What are you doing provoking these two monsters?’
Seeing that the two bronze beasts were focused on Shen Daoxing, several young disciples suddenly leaped up and flew toward the bronze door, trying to take advantage of the opportunity.
However, they had just reached the foot of the bronze door.
"CRACK! CRACK!"
A few sounds of bones breaking rang out.
Their bodies froze, eyes wide, before they were suddenly slammed to the ground as if by an invisible hand, unable to get up.
All they could hear was the continuous CRACK-CRACK of their bones breaking.
Clearly, the gravity beneath the bronze door was several times greater than in the outer area.
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
Seeing Shen Daoxing pinned by the immense gravity, the two bronze beasts threw their heads back and roared. Like Flood Dragons emerging from the abyss, they leaped high, descending with the ferocity of tigers.
But how could such a meager force possibly crush Shen Daoxing?
Shen Daoxing let out a great shout. The Seven-Colored Profound Platform inside him flared with light, and abundant Spiritual Power surged out, flowing through his entire body.
Shen Daoxing straightened up resolutely, suddenly grabbing one of the bronze beast’s claws with both hands. He then performed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming it with a BANG onto the other bronze beast.
The two bronze beasts shook their heads, swaying unsteadily.
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
They opened their terrifying maws and roared at Shen Daoxing, as if they were finally and completely enraged.
"WHOOSH!"
"WHOOSH!"
The two bronze beasts suddenly leaped high into the air.
Then, they tucked in their limbs, curled their bodies, and began to spin rapidly in the air like pinwheels.
"BANG! BANG!"
The two beasts crashed down from the sky. Their bodies spun at high speed, rolling like great wheels and shattering the ground wherever they went.
Shen Daoxing saw two enormous, rolling figures flash before his eyes.
The two beasts had already surrounded him, one in front and one behind. Their spinning bodies destroyed everything in their path as they charged him relentlessly.
In response, Shen Daoxing didn’t move a single step. He merely raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow in his hand. The Seven-Colored Profound Platform inside him flared with light, and once again, the SZZZZT of Venerable Power, like black lightning, quietly flowed out to gather on the blade.
SZZT! The black arcs of electricity flickered along the body of the Great Ming Demon Sparrow, seeming to warp space itself. Everything around it began to compress and distort.
"Venerable Taboo! Kunlun Duanyue!"
Shen Daoxing roared, and the Great Ming Demon Sparrow shot from his hand.
A single strike that could traverse heaven and earth, that could sever mountains. It seemed as though everything in the Great Ming Demon Sparrow’s path was cut apart, even the surrounding space twisting and distorting.
An arc of black light streaked across the sky, cleaving the world in two.
It was as if the very heavens and earth had been split in half.
The rolling body of the bronze beast on the ground suddenly froze, and a line of black light appeared down its center.
The black light flared.
The bronze beast was sliced clean in two, collapsing with a BOOM in two separate halves.
Having dealt with one beast, Shen Daoxing turned and threw his arms wide.
"BANG!"
The other bronze beast’s rolling body crashed headlong into Shen Daoxing’s embrace.
A dazzling light suddenly erupted from Shen Daoxing’s abdomen. A torrential tide of Spiritual Power surged out, flowing into his arms.
Shen Daoxing let out a low shout and suddenly tightened his grip.
SZZZZT!
Dazzling sparks flew everywhere.
The bronze beast’s spinning body slowed in Shen Daoxing’s arms, finally coming to a dead stop.
"Up!"
With a great shout, Shen Daoxing hoisted the bronze beast with both hands and then hurled it away.
