The light became more and more intense.
The figure walked closer to the entrance, bathed in a holy light.
She was dressed in a pure and simple white dress. She wore an ancient-looking pendant on her chest. At its center was a gem that emitted a blinding light.
It also exuded a solemn yet stifling presence.
As she walked out, the two men at the entrance lay prostrate on the ground.
The woman was the Divine Eagle of Merrica.
They called the most powerful cultivator from Huaxia the Dragon. The eagle was Merrica’s symbol, which was why they called the most powerful cultivator in Merrica the Divine Eagle.
She was also known as the Sacred Maiden of White Mountain, which was where Merrican warlocks gathered.
“The Dragon of Huaxia?”
She stopped at the entrance. Her voice was low, husky, and seductive.
“Yes, Lady Thea. The Dragon of Huaxia is in L City and has killed many of our people. Please reveal your powers and exterminate him!”
She furrowed her brows. A hint of icy coldness emanated from her golden irises.
“I’d like to meet this Dragon!”
As she spoke, the gem on her chest emitted a blinding light.
Crackle!
Her body transformed into a bolt of lightning and rose into the sky like an eagle, illuminating the dark sky.
The bolt of lightning streaked through the sky and disappeared into the distance.
The two people turned to face the sky and lay prostrate again. “Safe travels, Lady Thea!”
The bolt of lightning arrived at L City very soon. It fell on the street.
Boom!
The earth shook, and a shockwave spread out from that bolt.
The cloud of dust raised from the impact assailed Tang Hao.
“Cough cough!”
Tang Hao coughed and spat out the coffee in his mouth.
“Dammit! What’s going on? Thunder? Is it going to rain?”
He placed the cup on the table and looked at the source of the impact.
He was shocked by what he saw. In front of him was a dazzlingly beautiful Western woman who seemed like she came out of a dream. Her white dress was like snow, and her golden hair danced in the air.
His jaw dropped.
Then, he looked at the sky and then at her. He repeated this motion several times before mumbling to himself, “I didn’t know you can do that. That was too cool!”
He looked at the woman again, and his expression became serious.
‘This woman is very powerful! Unbelievably powerful!
‘That pendant doesn’t look mundane. It should be an incredible Artifact.
‘That person must be the Divine Eagle that they were talking about.
‘Why would she be so beautiful though?’
While Tang Hao was standing there in bemusement, the people in the command center were cheering.
“The Divine Eagle is here!”
“It’s Goddess Thea! That Huaxianese kid is dead for sure!”
Of course, some people said other things too.
“I love you, Goddess Thea!” Someone shouted.
“Hey, be serious!” The commander turned around and slapped that person.
He turned back to face the computer screen. “I am the one who truly loves you, Goddess Thea!” He said seriously.
The atmosphere on the street was thick with dust and tension.
Tang Hao slowly stood up.
Before the battle had even begun, they had already sized each other up with their qi auras. Invisible sparks were flying in the air.
“You’re not bad at all!” She said coldly.
Tang Hao grinned. “You’re not bad either. You have quite a spectacular entrance.”
“Why, do you think you can beat me?” She laughed coldly.
“Who knows? We’ll have to fight it out!”
“Hmph!” She grunted coldly, and her eyes flashed with killing intent. She lifted her arm and clenched her fingers. An aura of frost immediately surrounded her body and condensed into countless sharp icicles.
She waved her hand, and the icicles surged toward Tang Hao.
Tang Hao grunted coldly and flicked his hand. A cone of flame shot out from his hand.
The intense battle had begun.
The two people traded spells. Tang Hao fired spells from his hands and occasionally threw the random jade talisman, while his opponent blasted fire, frost, and lightning from her delicate hands.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions was unending.
The buildings around them shattered and collapsed.
“Take this!”
Tang Hao yelled. He flicked his wrist, and thirty-three jade talismans flew out.
Lightning energy swept toward his opponent like a great wave.
She was shocked, but soon composed herself. The gem in front of her chest sparkled and emitted a blinding light, which turned into a light shield and blocked the lightning.
“What happened?” Tang Hao was shocked.
His eyes sparkled when he looked at the gem.
The intense battle continued with many concerned people watching from the sidelines.
If the Divine Eagle won, then everything would be fine. However, it would be bad news if she lost. After all, the battle was related to Merrica’s pride.
In an airbase somewhere, several military jets stealthily took off from the runway and flew toward L City.
Boom!
The two cultivators exchanged another round of spells.
The shockwave from the impact pushed the two people backward.
The two people were already disheveled.
Tang Hao’s clothes were torn and almost charred. His opponent was not any better. She was panting, while her white dress was torn in several places, showing her fair skin underneath.
“She’s quite powerful, especially with that gem!”
Tang Hao mumbled. He gritted his teeth and unsheathed his dragon tooth dagger.
He tapped his foot and dashed forward.
The opponent tapped her foot and hovered backward.
She reached behind her and pulled out a pair of golden short swords.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew as the dagger and the short swords clashed.
Tang Hao eventually gained the advantage as the melee fight raged on.
Rip!
The dagger created a blade of wind as Tang Hao drew a line across the air. It ripped the white dress into two halves.
The contents of her upper torso were revealed.
“You…”
She gritted her teeth and glared at Tang Hao, feeling utterly humiliated.
“Hey, don’t blame me! I can’t help it if you’re a woman!” Tang Hao said.
‘It’s normal that clothes get torn in a fight!’
She grunted angrily and dashed backward, pulling herself away from close range. The gem on her chest hummed and emanated a dazzling light.
Her qi aura expanded greatly. She lifted her hand, and an endless torrent of fire and lightning covered the sky and the earth.
Tang Hao’s expression became serious. He flicked his hand, and an endless amount of jade talismans flew out.
The talismans did not fly toward the target, but instead hovered in the air and circled him.
“Hah!” He roared and pushed his hands forward. All the jade talismans flew out at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The resulting shockwave spread in all directions like the incoming tide and pushed the two people backward.
They got back on their feet and continued to trade spells.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Hao had depleted his stores of jade talismans. He had almost exhausted the qi reserves in his body too.
His opponent was not any better. The gem had dimmed, and her qi aura had withered.
She panted hard, and her body gently trembled, as though it was hard for her to stand on her feet.
“One more!”
She yelled. She was once again surrounded by a ring of fire that surged forward.
“I’m not scared!”
Tang Hao grunted. He threw a fireball with the last bit of qi in his body.
Boom!
The resulting explosion was blinding.
The shockwave sent both of them flying backward, and they fell to the ground.
