Chapter 202 Breaking Out of the Dragon Palace
Reading Settings
True Qi is similar in nature to spiritual Qi, but its quality is lower. However, in a real fight, it still depends on the cultivation level of the person wielding the True Qi.
"Break it for me."
Wang Hao rushed forward, breaking into Yin Yi's Heavenly Demon Domain, and struck the hilt of the sword with his palm.
Chaotic spiritual energy surged from his palm like a pale yellow waterfall, entering the sword and causing the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo to pass through the innate demonic energy, emitting a "clang" sound as it pierced towards Yin Yi's brow.
As the Yin-Yang Xuan Iron Sword Embryo drew ever closer, Yin Yi's eyes turned cold, and his pupils contracted continuously until they were only the size of pinholes.
Two beams of purple lightning shot out from the pupils, striking the Yin-Yang Black Iron Sword Embryo.
"boom!"
The two forces collided, and the two separated at the same time.
In this duel, Wang Hao only took two steps back before standing still, holding the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo, and with a wave of his hand, he easily cleaved apart the chaotic true energy.
He stood in the water, and blue light emanated from every pore of his body, like streaks of blue light shooting out, or like a blue lotus rooted in the water, giving people an ethereal and boundless feeling.
Yin Yi retreated fifteen steps, leaving fifteen large pits in the water. His robes were pierced by three sword holes, making him look somewhat disheveled.
Clearly, Wang Hao had the upper hand in this encounter.
"Wang Hao, we're here to lend you a hand."
In the distance, six figures rushed over and appeared behind Wang Hao. They were Shi Mengqi, Qing Ran, Yan Qin, Yan Bing, Li Bo, and Xia Xiaoyi.
The combined aura of the six of them, along with Wang Hao's, created a powerful force that put considerable pressure on Yin Yi.
"Wang Hao, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one and decide the victor or the loser?" Yin Yi stood proudly opposite him, his voice cold and arrogant.
Yan Bing laughed loudly, "To deal with someone like you, there's no need for a one-on-one fight. Let's all join forces and take down this arrogant guy."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "This is a battle between Yin Yi and me. None of you should interfere."
“Wang Hao…” Shi Mengqi said.
Wang Hao said, "You don't need to say anything more, all of you, step back."
Wang Hao's proposal to fight Yin Yi alone was not arrogant, but rather a means to protect their safety.
Although Shi Mengqi, Yan Bing, and others are all top-tier experts and can indeed provide considerable assistance, their strength is still far inferior to Yin Yi's. They could be killed by Yin Yi if they are not careful.
Wang Hao did not want to risk their lives by killing Yin Yi.
"Alright! Wang Hao, let's go outside and fight!"
Yin Yi was still somewhat uneasy, fearing that he would be ambushed and killed by Wang Hao and the others. Although he was confident that he could kill everyone except Wang Hao, he was not confident that he could escape unscathed.
Only by leaving the Dragon Palace can he take a chance.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Yin Yi and Wang Hao rushed out of the Dragon Palace one after the other, each using their movement techniques to transform into two rapid figures, rushing towards the surface of the River of Death.
Moments later, two loud bangs echoed across the water, sending plumes of steam into the sky.
Wang Hao and Yin Yi broke through the water almost simultaneously, landing on the black surface of the water.
They walked on the waves as if they were on flat ground.
In the distance, the figures of martial artists could be faintly seen, rapidly approaching. At the same time, massive warships were also cutting through the waves, rushing towards them at high speed.
Within a month of Wang Hao and his group entering the Dragon Palace, the entire martial arts world of Tianxing was in an uproar. Major forces dispatched their experts to the River of Death, hoping to seize some of the benefits.
In the distance, a white ancient ship hangs a battle flag with the character "Dao" printed on it.
It was the Flying Rainbow warship jointly forged by the six academies.
On the warship, dozens of silver-robed elders rushed out of the cabin and onto the deck. Each of them was at the Heavenly Realm or Golden Core stage, exuding a powerful aura as they gazed at Wang Hao and Yin Yi standing on the water.
"He's out! It's Wang Hao. Who's standing opposite him?" a rather young silver-robed elder exclaimed in surprise.
Then, two more middle-aged men with powerful auras emerged from the cabin. They stood side by side, and the silver-robed elders around them all bowed to them.
It was none other than Jiu Laogui, the dean of Longfeng Academy, and Liu Jinlin, the head of Ran Deng Academy.
Seeing Wang Hao emerge from the water, Liu Jinlin finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
For the past month, Liu Jinlin has been worried about Wang Hao, fearing that Wang Hao would encounter Yin Yi in the Dragon Palace and die at Yin Yi's hands.
In any case, seeing Wang Hao emerge alive from the Dragon Palace, Liu Jinlin felt a temporary weight lifted from his shoulders.
Old Wine Ghost was a refined old man who looked to be in his sixties. His mustache was neatly trimmed, his hair was combed cleanly, his nose was straight, and his eyes were bright and intelligent. One could imagine that in his youth, he must have been a handsome young man who captivated countless women.
Even though she's getting older now, she still retains her charm.
Old Man Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "What amazing youngsters! They've only just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, yet their auras are already so profound. Old Man Liu, Wang Hao's talent is probably more than you make it out to be."
The old drunkard laughed and said, "Of course, it doesn't matter whose disciple he is."
The old drunkard gave him a disdainful look and said, "Stop flattering yourself. With Wang Hao's current strength, he's more than capable of competing with a Saint Body Martial Artist. Do you really think you can train someone as outstanding as Wang Hao?"
"Anyway, he's my disciple, not yours, and that's enough!" Old Drunkard laughed smugly.
The old drunkard shook his head, too lazy to argue with that old scoundrel. However, when his gaze fell on Shi Mengqi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“This girl is Wang Hao’s Achilles’ heel. According to my investigation, she is very likely a remote branch of the Shi family, a powerful conglomerate, and has the blood of the Shi family.”
“Previously, she was just exceptionally talented and didn’t attract much attention. Now, at the age of twenty-two, she has reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm. The Shi family will definitely not let her stay outside any longer and will very likely allow her to return to the family.”
Liu Jinlin glanced at the old man with the wine. He knew the old man had good relations with the powerful families, but he still hoped he wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out.
The old man's expression turned serious, and he said, "I know what you mean. With the potential that Wang Hao has shown so far, even the forces behind the scenes have few rivals among the younger generation."
"But these tycoons are used to being high and might not think that much. Besides, the Shi family does not allow bloodlines to be passed on to outsiders, so I guess there is a high probability that an extraordinary person will come and take them back to the Shi family."
Liu Jinlin narrowed his eyes slightly and did not continue the discussion.
"Young Master is out!"
Seven figures leaped out and rushed towards Yin Yi, landing behind him and standing in a row.
