Chapter 284: 1 vs. 3
Upon the yellow earth of the Tianze Kingdom, on a spacious training ground within a towering city.
At this moment, Peng Yue, Yuan Yuan, and Deng Fang each stood in a corner, their auras imposing, their expressions indifferent.
And in their midst was the slender figure of Shen Daoxing, clad in a long white robe.
"Kid, don’t think we’ll go easy on you just because it’s three against one," Peng Yue, clad in red battle armor, said with an indifferent expression.
Then, Peng Yue, Yuan Yuan, and Deng Fang simultaneously assumed their attack stances. "Kid, please!"
Shen Daoxing raised his clasped hands and bowed to the three in turn. "General Peng, General Yuan, General Deng, please enlighten me!"
The words had barely fallen when Yuan Yuan struck. A glint of cyan light appeared, and his spear shot out like a dragon.
Yuan Yuan raised his long spear, moving like a soaring, startled dragon. He took but a single step, yet in the next instant, he crossed dozens of yards to appear at Shen Daoxing’s side.
But Shen Daoxing was faster. With a light tap of his toe, he leaped into the air.
But he had just leaped into the air when he found Deng Fang already waiting above.
Deng Fang slightly raised his hand, and light flared from it. In a blur, a small mountain the size of a millstone materialized in his palm.
The small mountain was as dark as iron, its ridges as sharp as blades, and it radiated a formidable aura.
With a slight flick of his finger, Deng Fang sent the mountain flying. It expanded in the blink of an eye, growing to a height of dozens of yards, and came whistling down like an Immortal Mountain from beyond the heavens.
Shen Daoxing raised a finger, from which a speck of white light appeared. With a light tap, it shot across the vast distance in an instant.
Aurora Sword Intent, like a long white rainbow stretching across heaven and earth.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rang out.
The formidable mountain instantly shattered, split in two by the sword strike.
But at the very instant the mountain shattered, a dignified figure in red suddenly leaped through the fragments.
Peng Yue’s right arm suddenly swelled in size, and crimson flames blazed to life like Yama’s Fire as he threw a punch.
A giant fist of fire filled Shen Daoxing’s entire vision. Seeing no way to evade, he threw a punch of his own.
BANG!
A seven-colored light surged skyward and violently collided with the crimson flames, erupting in a shower of dazzling sparks.
With a WHOOSH, Shen Daoxing was smashed downward.
SSSKRRRR!
He carved a deep scar into the ground before slowly halting his retreat, but he was completely unharmed.
"Good. You have some skill." Peng Yue’s imposing figure slowly descended as he gave a cool nod. "But this much skill is far from enough."
The next moment, he vanished.
"Extreme Flame, Falling Star!"
A deep voice echoed across the sky.
Shen Daoxing felt the air around him suddenly grow scorching hot as the temperature skyrocketed. The sky above him darkened, and a massive fist of fire that blotted out the sun appeared without warning, whistling like a falling meteor as it tore through the air.
Meanwhile, a brilliant light flared from Deng Fang’s hands as he suddenly slapped a palm onto the ground.
"Desolate Soil Flow, Thousand Blade Mountain!"
The next moment, Shen Daoxing felt the ground beneath him begin to churn, and his body swayed violently.
SHING! SHING! SHING!
In just a few breaths, mountains of sharp blades rose before his eyes, surrounding him on all sides and blocking his every path.
At the same time, the earth beneath his feet continued to churn, as if more blade mountains were about to erupt from the ground.
Shen Daoxing paused.
Instantly.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
One, two, three... twelve streams of Sword Intent flew out at once.
Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, Wood!
Geng Metal Sword Intent!
Thunder Sword Intent!
Countless splendid lights erupted with ultimate brilliance.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sharp peaks of the blade mountains exploded violently.
Shen Daoxing stomped his feet, shot up from the ground, and suddenly reappeared outside the ring of blade mountains.
RUMBLE!
The next moment, the giant fist of fire slammed down from the sky. Flames instantly shot out in all directions, dazzling and surging to the heavens.
A deep crater now marked the spot where Shen Daoxing had been standing. The surrounding earth was scorched black, and even the rocks had mostly melted away.
However, Shen Daoxing had only just burst free from the blade mountains.
"Cyan Wood Extreme Dao, Flying Dragon Wood Shadow!" a resonant voice rang out.
First, a speck of cyan light appeared, which then grew rapidly before Shen Daoxing’s eyes.
The next moment, Yuan Yuan, spear held high, soared spinning into the air. He carved a graceful arc through the sky, his draconic aura descending with world-shaking power.
However, Shen Daoxing simply extended two fingers and pinched.
CLANG! A soft chime rang out.
Yuan Yuan’s long spear was now held effortlessly between Shen Daoxing’s two fingers.
Shen Daoxing’s fingers trembled, sending a continuous ripple down the length of the spear.
Supreme Transforming Force.
Shen Daoxing retreated several steps before landing firmly, spinning Yuan Yuan around in a full circle.
Liangyi Bagua, Yin Yang Tai Chi.
Then, Shen Daoxing applied slight pressure with his fingers.
Yuan Yuan and his long spear were suddenly sent flying.
Peng Yue moved quickly, appearing behind Yuan Yuan and striking his back with a palm to help him halt his backward momentum.
The two looked up to see Shen Daoxing standing amidst the aftermath of their joint attack, completely unharmed and composed, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.
Peng Yue couldn’t help but nod. "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Good kid, no wonder you’re so arrogant. But if you think this is all we’ve got, you’re gravely mistaken."
"Extreme Flame, Myriad Meteors!"
Suddenly, Peng Yue bellowed, his aura surging violently as an invisible heatwave erupted outwards.
Shen Daoxing felt the ambient temperature rise by several degrees.
The next moment, a fierce wind kicked up, and the very sky seemed to change. It turned a fiery red, as if all the clouds were burning.
RUMBLE!
A deafening crack exploded across the sky, and then, one after another, giant fists of fire emerged from the clouds, raining down like countless meteors to cover the heavens and the earth.
"Desolate Soil Flow, Mountains to Blot the Sun!"
At the same time, Deng Fang shouted, his aura surging as he slammed both palms onto the ground.
The earth beneath Shen Daoxing’s feet instantly churned as earthen mounds bulged upwards.
SHWFF! SHWFF! SHWFF!
One, two, three... dozens of sharp blade mountains erupted at Shen Daoxing’s feet, overwhelming him in the blink of an eye.
And Yuan Yuan had not stopped either.
"Cyan Wood Extreme Dao, Wood Sea Shocking Dragon!"
He shouted, decisively flipping his spear and thrusting it violently into the ground.
Instantly, a cyan light flared, transforming into a beam that shot along the ground and straight into the blade mountains.
The next moment, vines and branches as thick as a man’s arm erupted from the earth, spiraling upwards to densely envelop everything, encasing one blade mountain after another.
And then.
From the sky above, the barrage of meteor-like fists rained down.
RUMBLE!
A series of explosions erupted, and flames shot up everywhere, turning the entire training ground into a sea of fire. Shen Daoxing’s figure was nowhere to be seen. The soldiers who had been spectating had long since fled to a safe distance.
However.
"Forbidden Sword Technique, Kunlun Duanyue!"
A magnetic voice suddenly rang out from the center of the training ground.
