Mo Yitian was now totally angered by Zhou Donghuang.
In the night starry sky, as the whole crowd watched on, Mo Yitian stood in mid-air, his eyes filled with fury and his face red with anger. His long hair blew in the wind behind him as waves of inner Yuan left his body and finally crystallized into ten-meter-tall Dharma Power.
Mo Yitian’s Dharma Power was in the form of a human, but because it was only formed by inner Yuan, the features of the face were not clear and visible. It was still apparent that in the hands of the human Dharma Power, it held a sword. The human Dharma Power floated in mid-air like, proud and firm as it looked around dismissively.
“It’s Mo Yitian’s Sword God Dharma Power!”
“I had always heard that the Tiansong Sect had the power to allow their Dharma Power to change according to their wishes… now, I can finally see it for myself. Mo Yitian produced this Sword God Dharma Power based on his thoughts, what a remarkable sight!”
…
As Mo Yitian’s Dharma Power appeared, besides the Tiansong Sect disciples who were not surprised, the people from the other three sects all looked at Mo Yitian’s Dharma Power with alarm.
In the universe, not all skill techniques had to produce just one fixed Dharma Power.
There were many other techniques that one could train in that allowed the adept to produce any Dharma Power that they could think of at that point in time simply based on their thoughts.
Of course, Dharma Power produced in such a manner also had to follow some guidelines. For example, Dharma Power that was too extravagant or unrealistic would cause trouble for the Dharma adept to train it, and thus put them at a disadvantage when using their Dharma Power.
The Sword God Dharma Power that Mo Yitian had just produced was also considered somewhat extravagant, but because his talent and skill in this aspect was not bad, he could still control it as he wished. In the late Dharma stage, he had mastered Dharma-body integration, which allowed him to control Dharma Power as he wished.
When his Dharma Power appeared, Mo Yitian looked at Zhou Donghuang and said seriously, “Zhou Donghuang, I heard that your Dharma Power is in the shape of a massive tiger… today, by the blade of the sword in the hands of my Sword God Dharma Power, I will slaughter your tiger Dharma Power!”
Mo Yitian’s tone was low but icy. Clearly, he had been angered by Zhou Donghuang’s words.
“Your Dharma Power is indeed flashy, but too bad that’s all it is.”
Faced with the unfriendly words of Mo Yitian, Zhou Donghuang only glanced at him lightly, and said deliberately and slowly, “Looks like you are not happy with what I said just now… in that case, I’ll allow you three hits. After three hits, I will then strike.”
As he spoke, Zhou Donghuang’s inner Yuan gushed out of his body and formed a ten-meter-tall tiger Dharma Power.
This giant tiger was different from any ordinary tigers. Its body was bigger and stronger, and the lines and contours on its body were defined and perfect. Once it appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present, stealing the limelight right away from Mo Yitian’s Sword God Dharma Power.
“This is the Giant Tiger Dharma Power?”
“My goodness! In front of the Giant Tiger Dharma Power, all the other tiger Dharma Powers that I had seen before can only be considered kittens, even tiger Dharma Powers at the ultimate Dharma stage. I never knew a tiger could be as perfect as this one here!”
“The figure of this Giant Tiger Dharma Power is really perfect… if someone had told me that a Giant Tiger Dharma Power could be so beautiful, attractive and powerful, I would not have believed them!”
…
The Dharma Power that Zhou Donghuang had now produced was no any ordinary Giant Tiger Dharma Power, but the White Tiger Dharma Power which was one of the four great beasts Dharma Powers. Naturally, it could not be compared to any ordinary Giant Tiger Dharma Powers.
Although nobody in the crowd that day managed to recognize that this was actually a White Tiger Dharma Power, but just based on their eyes, they would tell that there were many differences between the White Tiger Dharma Power and an ordinary Giant Tiger Dharma Power. The difference was not just on the surface.
Of course, the most alarming thing to all of them was what Zhou Donghuang had just said to Mo Yitian.
Did Zhou Donghuang just say that he would allow Mo Yitian three hits?
Was he out of his mind?
Mo Yitian was the most powerful man among the new generation of the Tiansong sect. He reached the late Dharma stage before the age of thirty and even managed to master Dharma-body integration.
Now, even Huang Chunqiu, leader of the Tiansong Sect, looked unhappy. If not for his status as the leader of the Tiansong Sect, he would definitely have scolded Zhou Donghuang as an arrogant bastard!
“What arrogance!”
Though Huang Chunqiu, the leader of the Tiansong Sect, managed to hold himself back, the other Dharma adepts of the Tiansong Sect could not resist but to glare angrily at Zhou Donghuang, feeling that this talented disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect was being way too arrogant.
The most powerful man among their younger generation of Tiansong Sect was someone whom the rest could only look up to but not attain the level of, but now he was being looked down upon by this disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect. In that moment, all of them felt as if they had been humiliated.
“Brother Mo, since he gave you three moves, then agree to it!”
“Brother Mo, within three moves, you must defeat him! I want to see if he will really do nothing during your three attacks.”
…
The group of Dharma adepts from the Tiansong Sect shouted excitedly at Mo Yitian.
At the same time, the people from the other three sects now regained their senses once again and looked at Zhou Donghuang in a daze. They had never expected Zhou Donghuang to say something like that.
Even the people of the Lightning Sword Sect who had previously witnessed Zhou Donghuang defeat Han Yuzheng, the talented disciple of the Thunder Knife Sect, with just a single blow—they did not believe that Zhou Donghuang could defeat Mo Yitian after allowing Mo Yitian three moves to attack him first.
Within three blows from Mo Yitian, Zhou Donghuang could already be defeated.
“Is Zhou Donghuang being too careless? This Mo Yitian is not like the Han Yuzheng of the Thunder Knife Sect.”
Most of the Lightning Sword Sect people, including the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng, now frowned slightly, thinking that Zhou Donghuang was being too careless.
Of course, there were also some people of the Lightning Sword Sect who had full confidence in Zhou Donghuang.
This included the head of the Autumn Valley, He Jin, and the Autumn Valley disciples, He Mengxi, Da Zhuang, and the son of the Spring Valley, Liu Lang.
Although Liu Lang did not know why himself, when Zhou Donghuang lightly said that he would allow Mo Yitian three tries to attack him, Liu Lang suddenly felt that Zhou Donghuang was so much more powerful than Mo Yitian that even if he allowed Mo Yitian three tries, he would still be able to defeat him eventually.
“I have such blind faith in him… looks like his previous performance has already touched me deeply.”
As compared to the other Lightning Sword disciples besides He Mengxi and Da Zhuang, Liu Lang could be considered one of the disciples who had had slightly more interactions with Zhou Donghuang. From the beginning when Zhou Donghuang had used forgery to trick the entire Summer Valley, to him defeating Lian Can, then Han Yuzheng, Liu Lang was well aware of how scarily powerful Zhou Donghuang was.
This was why even though Zhou Donghuang had behaved so arrogantly in front of Mo Yitian, Liu Lang felt that his arrogance was justified!
In the Jihan Sect, Zhong Feng, the disciple of Sect Leader Meng Yuping, now tried to get closer to Luo Qinghan and said sarcastically, “Luo Qinghan, is your man being too arrogant? Brother Mo Yitian’s ability is not as weak as he thinks; he is probably going to regret this bad decision that he just made.”
Faced with the sarcasm of Zhong Feng, Luo Qinghan totally disregarded her, but her eyes landed on Zhou Donghuang instead, her face calm and expressionless.
She was well aware that a year ago, Zhou Donghuang’s ability was already stronger than her father.
At that time, her father had already reached the late Dharma stage and had trained in the Deity-level technique. He had mastered Dharma-body integration and was no weaker than Mo Yitian currently… at that time, Zhou Donghuang was only at the mid Dharma stage.
Now, Zhou Donghuang had reached the late Dharma stage, so his power must have increased as well.
“I only just reached the early Dharma stage and barely managed to get on the list to be a part of this event… but he has already reached the late Dharma stage. The gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger.”
Luo Qinghan sighed quietly to herself, but her eyes were filled with a momentary sadness that disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
“Zhou Donghuang!” Mo Yitian, who had been so angered by Zhou Donghuang’s words that he had trembled for a moment, finally tried to suppress his fury as he glared at Zhou Donghuang and said icily, “You will pay a terrible price for this mistake that you made out of sheer arrogance!
“Since you want to be defeated by me within three tries, then I, Mo Yitian, will grant you your wish!”
Suddenly, Mo Yitian’s body became faint as his ten-meter-tall Sword God Dharma Power now become even more solid. Clearly, he had integrated his body with his Dharma Power right from the beginning to allow the Dharma Power to become one with his body.
“Mo Yitian looks really furious right now, he began with the integration technique right away!”
“Now, Zhou Donghuang must be regretting what he just said.”
“He said he would allow Mo Yitian three tries, which means that until after Mo Yitian’s third attack, he cannot attack Mo Yitian at all and can only defend or hide!”
“Why do I have the feeling that he will go back on his word?”
…
As the crowd watched on, the Sword God Dharma Power stepped out of the night sky, and with that single step, he seemed to cover such a huge distance that he now seemed much closer to Zhou Donghuang in distance.
Whoosh!
With the sound of gushing wind, the sword in the hands of the Sword God Dharma Power sliced through the night. With the blow of the sword, inner Yuan as brilliant and vibrant as the sky was released, drawing the attention of everyone as if it could slice through a whole galaxy. The sword raced towards the giant Dharma Power of Zhou Donghuang.
“Zhou Donghuang is definitely also going to integrate his body with the Dharma Power to either take the blow or dodge the sword.”
Faced with the sword rushing towards him from Mo Yitian’s Sword God Dharma Power, Zhou Donghuang chose not to use the technique of Dharma-body integration. He floated in mid-air, motionless and his face expressionless.
Faced with the onslaught of the sword from the Sword God Dharma Power of Mo Yitian, the White Tiger Dharma Power only lowered its body, and easily dodged the sword. It seemed more like a coincidence, that it happened to get down at that instant.
At least, to the Dharma disciples of the four great sects present, that was what it seemed like.
After Mo Yitian’s Sword God Dharma Power had begun its attack, Zhou Donghuang had actually commanded his Dharma Power to lower itself, which allowed it to barely dodge the sword from Mo Yitian’s Dharma Power… the next time, if Mo Yitian was prepared, Zhou Donghuang’s luck would not be so good.
Even Mo Yitian himself also felt the same way, and said, “Zhou Donghuang, you will not be so lucky the next time.”
However, the expressions of the leaders of the four great sects now turned serious…
Their disciples all thought that Zhou Donghuang had achieved that based on luck, but the leaders were all highly skilled themselves and could clearly tell that Zhou Donghuang’s Dharma Power had only made its move after Mo Yitian had begun his attack.
