Chapter 1492 It’s Your Turn to Take Action
Heavenly Hound knew he couldn’t fight back.
He couldn’t even control his body. It meant that his opponent’s strength must be horrifying.
She was definitely a giant.
Sure enough, Zhang Yumeng had a strong background.
But things were always full of surprises.
Heavenly Hound stopped talking before he could finish.
He turned around and saw that Elder Tian Chen had flown over.
“Phew…”
Heavenly Hound relaxed a lot.
Tian Chen set up a sound-proof cover and said with a bitter smile, “Brother Zhang, why did you come to the battlefield in person? If it’s because Heavenly Hound does not keep his mouth shut, please don’t mind. I apologize to you on his behalf.”
Hearing this, Zhang Han touched his chin and said, “Am I such an unreasonable person? That’s not the case. I just came down to have fun.”
Zhang Han felt that he was like a fierce Demon King in Tian Chen’s mind, but he was not someone who could kill others at any time.
Now, he really felt that Heavenly Hound was quite interesting and was asking for a beating. He just wanted to beat him up.
Tian Chen was so nervous that Zhang Han didn’t know what to say.
It seemed that the higher-ups also cared about Heavenly Hound very much.
What Zhang Han didn’t know was that Tian Chen had chatted with Yue Wuwei and asked about him. However, Yue Wuwei only said a few words. “He is a horrible devil.”
When Tian Chen heard this, he was terrified. Even his senior called Zhang Han a devil, who was the leader of their forces. His background was too formidable.
Tian Chen, who was watching from a distance, was shocked to see Zhang Han emerge.
If such a powerful figure accidentally crippled Heavenly Hound, it would be a great loss to the sect.
“Dad, go back now. I have to fight later.” Mengmeng waved her hand quickly.
“Okay.”
Zhang Han smiled and flashed back.
The people around were confused.
“Even Grand Elder Tian Chen has appeared personally.”
“I didn’t expect that this battle would alarm Grand Elder Tian Chen.”
“What are they talking about in there?”
“Who is that male disciple? Has he been reprimanded?”
“…”
“Does he want to compete with Senior Brother Heavenly Hound with his strength?”
Some people were very unconvinced and even disliked it.
However, the people who knew the truth, such as Hun Xuan and Hun Shang, were a bit stunned and terrified.
“Zhang Yumeng’s father is obviously going to beat Heavenly Hound up. Grand Elder stopped him personally. It seems that he is even more terrifying than I imagined. Even he even made Grand Elder affably negotiate with him,” Hun Xuan said in surprise.
Hun Shang, who was beside her, didn’t say anything and watched silently.
Hearing the discussion around them, Zi Yan, Jiang Yanlan, and the others shook their heads in silence.
Nowadays, Mengmeng had fabulous glory, but few people knew what kind of figure the little princess’s father was.
“Look at how nervous Grand Elder is.”
After Zhang Han came back, Zi Yan joked, “He went to stop you in person.”
“I’m curious about what he’s worried over.” Zhang Han shook his head slightly and glanced at Yue Wuwei. “I’m an easy-going person. Why would I do a cruel thing?”
“Hahaha, that’s right.” Yue Wuwei laughed awkwardly. He felt a little guilty and thought to himself. “This old monster can’t have figured it out, can he? I didn’t say anything. I just told Tian Chen the truth.”
On Nine Rivers Peak, Elder Tian Chen glared at Heavenly Hound with dissatisfaction and said via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “Don’t flirt with Zhang Yumeng. Her father is very protective of his people. I’m warning you, you will get beaten to death if you dare to go too far.”
“Damn…”
Heavenly Hound gasped and replied, “Understood, elder. Then… then can I still win this time?”
“Well…” Tian Chen hesitated for a moment. “It’s up to you.”
Tian Chen thought about it carefully and said, “Don’t go easy on her. But also, don’t hurt her.”
“Understood.” Heavenly Hound nodded slightly.
This meant that he could win, but he couldn’t hurt his opponent.
“What are you two muttering about?” Mengmeng asked suspiciously.
After sensing for a while, she knew that the two of them were whispering to each other via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Tian Chen cleared his throat and said, “Ahem, I was just asking about his condition. His recovery is all thanks to the medicinal pellets you gave him.”
“I see.”
Mengmeng didn’t believe it, but she didn’t want to continue asking.
Seeing this, Tian Chen immediately flew away.
He felt that staying behind would only make things more awkward.
“Well, Junior Sister Zhang, shall we wait a little longer? It’s a rare opportunity for us to spar with each other. It will be a pity that many people have come here after hearing the news but don’t get to watch a battle,” Heavenly Hound said seriously.
Hearing this, Mengmeng rolled her eyes and nodded. “Okay, let’s wait a little longer.”
“Junior Sister Zhang, you have reached the Void-refining Realm at such a young age. You are amazing,” Heavenly Hound said.
Mengmeng didn’t want to talk to him. She looked around and said, “Where’s your Holy Wind Dog King?”
“It’s not here.” Heavenly Hound said, “It’s not interested in watching a battle.”
“I also have a dog. Its name is Little Hei. It grew up with me,” Mengmeng said with a smile. “I didn’t bring it with me this time. I’ll bring it out in the future.”
“What a coincidence! What kind of dog is Little Hei? Your dog must be extraordinary, right?” Heavenly Hound asked.
Mengmeng raised her head and said quite proudly, “My dog is called the Iron Treasured Golden Emperor Dog.”
“What kind of dog is that?” Heavenly Hound was stunned. He even took out his communicator to check but only got no result of the name.
“Could it be a divine dog?”
“It’s just a rural dog,” Mengmeng said. “It’s a very common breed.”
“I see, hahaha.” Heavenly Hound burst into laughter. “When you bring your pet here, our dogs can communicate with each other. Maybe they can exchange some moves.”
He was setting up a trap for the next bet.
In a battle between divine pets, they could bet on some spirit treasures.
“Okay. Little Hei is very powerful,” Mengmeng said confidently.
Behind an able man, there would always be other able men.
Maybe Heavenly Hound wouldn’t believe it if Mengmeng said that Little Hei’s strength was low, but since she showed confidence, Heavenly Hound was relieved.
“That’s how it should be. Although you think your divine pet is powerful, my Holy Wind Dog King also has a lot of trump cards.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Heavenly Hound smiled very happily.
Mengmeng’s smile also revealed a hint of evil.
Holy Wind Dog King was famous for its speed, but Little Hei had never been afraid of anyone in terms of speed. Even Shi Fenghou gasped when he saw it and called it a role model.
“It’s about time, right?” Heavenly Hound said.
At first, he wanted to wait a little longer, but when he thought of Mengmeng’s extraordinary background and a senior who wanted to beat him up, he changed his mind.
“I’d better not dawdle.”
“There are at least five million crystal stones here.”
Heavenly Hound looked at the crystal stone, and his eyes were almost red. “I can win without hurting the other side. For the sake of the crystal stones, I’ll go all out.”
Seeing the hungry look in the Heavenly Hound’s eyes, Mengmeng felt puzzled and also became vigilant. “Is he casting an illusion?”
Mengmeng stepped back dozens of meters, feeling that it was a safe distance, and waited for Heavenly Hound to make the first move.
However, Heavenly Hound was also waiting for Mengmeng to take action.
They rose into the air and looked at each other from a distance.
One second, two seconds… one minute passed.
Heavenly Hound thought to himself. “Why hasn’t she made her move yet?”
Mengmeng snorted in her heart. “You want me to make the first move? No way!”
However, the others didn’t notice anything unusual.
“Look, when experts fight, even the air is filled with killing intent.”
“What a terrifying aura.”
“…”
The psychological effect was too strong.
“Junior Sister Zhang, what happens in the competition stays in the competition. Please forgive me if I go too far,” Heavenly Hound said seriously.
“Haha, you’re talking big.”
He spoke so imposingly that it felt like he’d already won.
“There are eight occult arts of swordsmanship of the Sword Edge. You have just joined the sect, so you should not have practiced them yet. Let me show you today.”
Heavenly Hound put his hands behind his back and took out eight long swords from his Space Ring, including three sixth-tier spirit treasures and five fifth-tier ones.
From the very beginning, he had faced the enemy seriously, showing his determination to win.
“This move is called Ice Cloud. It requires eight spirit treasure longswords to execute. The higher the grade of the treasure sword, the greater its might.
“Go!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The eight long swords flew over with irresistible force and turned into eight streams of light. They did not possess any might. They were like ordinary flying swords.
But something unexpected happened.
In the middle of the two, eight long swords seemed to cut through the void and flew here.
A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared.
The eight streams of light were constantly connected by threads.
A cloud that looked like a glacier came whistling over with an ice-cold aura.
“Fire Swords.”
Mengmeng waved her sleeve.
Thirty-six sixth-tier spirit treasure long swords appeared.
They pierced forward and directly turned into a huge wave of fire.
When the long swords collided, the dull sound seemed to be performing a song of ice and fire.
“So many sixth-tier spirit treasures!”
Heavenly Hound’s eyes turned redder.
“What a little rich girl, hahaha.”
He was extremely excited, feeling that he could get a lot of precious treasures from Junior Sister Zhang.
However, he had to take his time to plan it. The first thing he needed to do was to win this round.
“Nice.”
After running his power a bit, Heavenly Hound retrieved his long swords, but the remaining power of the Fire Swords was still attacking him.
“This move is called Stabbing Dragon.”
Heavenly Hound controlled one of his sixth-tier swords and slashed it once.
“GRWAAAAAH!”
The ten feet long sword glow appeared to be real. It was just like the body of a sword as it carried a dragon roar and rushed forward in a mighty manner.
“It’s Stabbing Dragon, one of the eight great occult arts!”
“I didn’t expect Heavenly Hound to master this move so well that he can already execute a five-second-long dragon roar.”
“Only many elders can perform a five-second dragon roar to such an extent. Heavenly Hound is really terrifying.”
Tens of thousands of people around exclaimed one after another.
They couldn’t understand Mengmeng’s moves, but the occult art Heavenly Hound displayed originated from the Sword Edge. Many disciples had practiced it, so they knew how difficult it was and how well Heavenly Hound had mastered it.
“Stabbing Dragon?”
Mengmeng took a look and could feel the sharp edge from a distance.
This Stabbing Dragon move carried very powerful varieties. For example, it was able to suddenly accelerate as if it could travel through time and space, which was difficult to defend against.
Mengmeng muttered to herself, “I will use the Sword Dragon to suppress you.”
She pointed her long sword forward.
When she made her move, a golden light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Rarrrrgh!”
Golden sword light appeared. It was sixty meters long.
When the sword light left the sword, the effect of the occult art was activated.
A roar that made one’s scalp go numb rang out.
The golden light trembled nonstop, and the image of a golden dragon appeared. It swam forward and looked as if it was to devour everything.
“What… what kind of supernatural power is this?”
“Heavens! Boundless ferocious might and ceaseless roars! This sword move is so terrifying! Is it an occult art of the Sword Edge?”
“This is definitely an extremely powerful occult art. It’s almost as powerful as a supernatural power.”
“Heavenly Hound’s Stabbing Dragon is no match for it.”
Judging from the momentum, it was obvious who was superior.
Even Grand Elder Tian Chen, who was watching from the side, was a little envious.
“This occult art is really… too powerful. How did she execute it? What kind of method is it? How, how can I learn it?”
Many ordinary disciples couldn’t figure it out, but the stronger they were, the more they could understand the mystery and horror of it.
The way some elders looked at Mengmeng had changed as if she were a peerless treasure.
“Well, you’re showing your big gun too early.”
Heavenly Hound let out a cry of pain and desperately sped up the Stabbing Dragon. He shouted as if he was comforting himself, “Watch me pierce your golden dragon!”
“GRWAAAAAH!”
The golden dragon’s shadow was simply unstoppable. As soon as it collided with the sword Qi of Heavenly Hound’s Stabbing Dragon, it bit down, and the sword Qi snapped into two.
“Explode!”
Heavenly Hound had prepared a backup plan.
The Sword Qi exploded.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The head of the Sword Dragon was blown into pieces, and the whole dragon’s shadow became erratic.
It seemed that this move was cracked by Heavenly Hound.
“Heh.”
Zhang Han smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Because he knew what Mengmeng was trying to do.
The illusory dragon shadow changed its moves and condensed into nine beams of sword light.
This was also an occult art. It was not too strong, but it was very practical.
“Nine Winds Sword!”
Mengmeng cast the Nine Winds Sword with the remaining energy of the Sword Dragon.
The Sword Qi came with the winds. It was as if it were a part of them.
“Its aura is slightly weak.”
Heavenly Hound narrowed his eyes. “What’s the attacking method of this sword move?”
Only by knowing its attributes would he know how to counter the sword move. These nine wisps of sword Qi were ephemeral and hidden in the wind as if they had merged into one and were difficult to sense.
“Amazing.”
Heavenly Hound praised and pointed forward with his right hand. “Shadowless.”
Shadowless was one of the eight great occult arts.
The invisible sword light rushed over and collided with the nine swords.
It formed a huge storm.
The wind blew in all directions. Many trees on the Nine Rivers Peak were destroyed by the wind, and even a river was flowing backward due to the wind.
Seeing this, many disciples said in horror, “If I were standing within a hundred meters, I would probably be injured by the aftermath of this storm.”
The two strikes dissipated in the void.
Heavenly Hound was quite shocked.
“She’s indeed very powerful. What moves should I use to deal with her?”
Mengmeng, on the other hand, was as calm as ever.
“She’s amazing.”
On another mountain peak, Hun Shang praised, “She’s more powerful than what I thought before.”
“Brother, she’s actually at the Middle Stage of the Void-refining Realm. She’s too strong. You’ve just broken through to that phase. Are you really no match for her?” Hun Xuan whispered.
“If it’s a normal competition, we can fight each other as equals. She won’t be a match in a life-and-death battle,” Hun Shang said softly.
He had a very powerful and secret trump card.
That kind of move was not something that could be easily executed.
Therefore, he was very confident.
On Nine Rivers Peak.
Gradually, the wind stopped.
Heavenly Hound suddenly laughed and said, “Zhang Yumeng, you’re worthy of your reputation. You’re amazing. I have to use some of my real skills to deal with you. This sword move is an illusory one, named Moon in the Mountain. Junior Sister Zhang, you need to watch out.”
“An illusory sword move? I’ve also mastered many of those. Come on.”
Mengmeng raised her right hand and crooked her finger forward.
“Moon in the Mountain!”
Heavenly Hound made an incantation gesture with both hands.
All of a sudden, all kinds of sword lights floated out of the long sword in front of him.
The lines created strange phenomena.
The shadow of a mountain suddenly appeared on Heavenly Hound’s back.
“It’s Moon in the Mountain!”
“Heavenly Hound can even execute Moon in the Mountain!”
“That’s the number one sword technique of the eight great occult arts.”
Many talented disciples were astounded.
The eight great occult arts of the Sword Edge needed to be cultivated step by step.
Last time, Heavenly Hound just used the third greatest occult art. No one had expected that he would use the No. 1 skill this time.
The enormous mountain phantom suddenly dimmed, and a crescent moon rose.
Even from a distance, one could feel the fierce aura.
The moonlight fell, which was the sword light.
Heavenly Hound was very proud of the illusory sword move, Moon in the Mountain. It was one of his trump cards.
This was the first time he had used it in the sect.
It was not difficult to cultivate the eight great occult arts. They only required points. These eight skills were not very powerful trump cards. Displaying them was just a good means to fight against the enemy and prove oneself.
Heavenly Hound displayed the Moon in the Mountain.
Someone said, “Heavenly Hound is worthy of being number one on the south coast with this sword strike.”
“Illusory sword moves…”
Mengmeng thought for a moment and decided to make a move.
“Pluto Slash!”
Seeing this, Zhang Han touched his chin and muttered to himself, “Is she overestimating the opponent by making this move?”
When Yue Wuwei heard this, his expression changed, and he watched more carefully.
It seemed to be an amazing move. If Yue Wuwei was tempted by it, he planned to learn it.
Clatter!
Mengmeng held the sword in her right hand and drew a circle.
Combined with the top occult art, a faint black light appeared on the sword light.
Illusory sword moves, when infused with the illusions’ sword occult arts, required one to gain insights into the illusions.
For example, when the former Sect Master was sitting cross-legged in the mountain and saw the crescent moon rising, he suddenly came to a realization and combined the Moon in the Mountain with the occult arts he had mastered.
Mengmeng’s move was shocking.
The illusion began to appear, and the black fog filled the air.
A huge figure, like a devil, appeared in the black fog.
The shadow held a long scythe in his hand, like the sickle of Death.
That jet-black blade was where the sword will was.
“Holy shit!”
Heavenly Hound was stunned when he saw this.
Grand Elder Tian Chen saw this scene and said, “What the hell? This occult art… How did it come to be? Did she see such a horrible being with her own eyes?”
No one knew what the huge black shadow was, but it looked quite terrifying.
Such a pure and horrifying aura was definitely not simple.
Mengmeng performed the Pluto Slash.
Swoosh!
The illusory figure raised the sickle and slashed forward.
The moonlight Sword Qi was cut, and even the Heavenly Hound’s illusion, the crescent in the mountain, was cut into two halves. The huge mountain was also cut into two halves from the middle.
“It’s too incredible!”
Heavenly Hound let out a cry of shock. His figure turned into dozens of figures, which flew around. As for the real figure, he had fled several miles away and avoided the sword light.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The huge sword light destroyed the peak of the Nine Rivers Peak.
There was wave after wave of energy fluctuations.
Fortunately, several elders neutralized the aftermath, so it did not cause too much of an impact.
At this moment, the place was silent.
Such a move shocked the whole sect.
“I am absolutely no match for her in terms of illusory sword moves.”
Heavenly Hound touched his stiff cheek and flew back to Nine Rivers Peak in a flash. He looked at Mengmeng and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He couldn’t defeat her with illusory sword moves, but he had other moves.
“However, I haven’t used my trump card yet.”
Heavenly Hound thought to himself.
After thinking about it, he found that if he attacked first all the time, his moves would be easy to resolve, and it would make him passive.
He looked at Mengmeng and said, “Well, I’ve made several moves. It’s your turn.”
“I’ll make the first move? Alright.”
Mengmeng blinked and suddenly cast an occult art with the long sword in her hand.
“Sunset Rainbow!
“Frozen Sword!
“Blackhorn Sword!
“Allheaven Fire Sword!
“Fiend-killing Nine Slashes!”
“…”
