Chapter 1147: Victorious
The sun was shining brightly in the sky. There was a huge star near the 10,000 Dragons Valley. The temperature here was not low, hence ordinary creatures could not survive here.
Long Hai was still the only one in the arena. It was not that Ou Yangming did not want to come earlier, but that he was lost. The 10,000 Dragons Valley’s roads extended in all directions. The young fellow knew the general direction, but he still took a wrong step and delayed a lot of time on the road.
“Elder Long Shao, don’t tell me that Master Ou doesn’t dare to come.” Long Mo glanced around and then said to Long Shao.
Long Shao responded, “I believe in Master Ou’s character. He’s not a person who doesn’t keep his word.”
Long Mo said with a smile, “No one can say for sure. If he really doesn’t come, this bet will be considered your loss. Your 1,000-year-old Autumn’s Wind Jade Dew will be drunk by me.”
“You’d better worry about your Dragon Fragrant Herb,” Long Shao replied indifferently. Then, he ignored Long Mo and looked toward the entrance.
A young figure walked over from the entrance.
Ou Yangming glanced at Long Hai, who was in the arena, and was a little embarrassed as he said, “I’m sorry. I got lost on the road just now.”
“I thought you didn’t dare to come!” Long Hai crossed his arms and looked at Ou Yangming arrogantly.
“That won’t happen. I don’t lack courage.”
Ou Yangming cupped his hands in front of his chest then jumped up to the platform. The platform was quite big, and there were many defensive runes on it.
Long Hai put down his arms, and his face was a bit gloomy. “Since you’re here, let’s start. No matter what the result is today, the grudge between us will be gone.”
“That’s good.” Ou Yangming also nodded.
The surrounding people were all attracted by the 2 people on the platform. Since Ou Yangming came relatively late, everyone became piqued.
A long spear appeared in Long Hai’s hand. He looked at Ou Yangming and shouted, “Show your weapon.”
Ou Yangming smiled. He also took out a long spear from the Long Feather Band. This was just an ordinary magic weapon and not the Acquired Taoist Tool that he smithed yesterday.
In Ou Yangming’s opinion, his strength was already much stronger than Long Hai’s. If he were to use the Acquired Taoist Tool, he would be a bit too much of a bully.
Nonetheless, Long Hai did not think so. He looked at the weapon in Ou Yangming’s hand and felt as if he had been insulted. He questioned in a deep voice, “I know that you smithed a Taoist Tool yesterday. Why didn’t you take it out?”
“I’m still not very familiar with the operation of the Taoist Tool, so I’m afraid that I won’t be able to display its power. This weapon should be enough.”
“Okay, that’s what you said!”
Long Hai’s face was as gloomy as ink. He was mentally prepared to face the Taoist Tool, but he did not expect the young fellow to only take out an ordinary magic weapon.
Below the arena, on the first row of seats.
The expressions of the few elders were different at this moment. Originally, everyone wanted to see the power of the Taoist Tool, but they did not expect Ou Yangming to not give them the chance at all.
Long San asked with a smile, “Elders, what do you think now?”
“What do I think? Of course, I’ll wait and see!” Long Mo glanced at Long Shao beside him, then he said in a deep voice, “In my opinion, to give up his strength is a stupid act. It would’ve been suspenseful but now, the result has already been decided. Ou Yangming will lose this round if he doesn’t take out his Taoist Tool.”
“I don’t think so,” Long Shao retorted, “I believe that Master Ou must have his ideas. He must have his reasons for doing so.”
While the 2 of them were still arguing, the battle had begun. Long Hai’s hatred was hard to calm down, so he took the lead to attack.
The power of laws on the long spear surged, and the spear turned light gold.
A sharp light shot out from the spear. The gold-mastery power of law was originally focused on killing. Long Hai was also a genius, thus his attack was different from the others.
“Brother Long Hai is so powerful!”
The small dragons in the sky were amazed. To them, Long Hai was an invincible existence, and they were sure that Ou Yangming would not be able to block a single move from Long Hai.
Nevertheless, this was only their beautiful wish. Not only did Ou Yangming block the attack, but he also did it with ease.
Ou Yangming gently flicked the spear in his hand, and a black and white shield appeared on his body. This shield seemed to be only a thin layer, but it easily blocked Long Hai’s violent spear.
Whether he was formidable or not, it could be seen from the moment he made his move. Once this happened, he overturned everyone’s understanding of him.
Those small dragons who thought that Ou Yangming would not be able to block a single move looked at him with their mouths agape. The smithing master turned out to be a Ruler of the laws.
He was too much of a bully. It was one thing for his smithing skills to be so notable, but his combat power was also remarkable. How could he be blackmailed anymore?
The dragon powerhouses were extremely shocked. Most of them knew Ou Yangming’s strength in the laws but after witnessing it, they could not calm down.
It did not seem like he had just grasped the majestic power of laws. Instead, he looked like a powerhouse who had comprehended the laws for hundreds of thousands of years.
How old was he?
Those dragon powerhouses who had their eyes fixed on Ou Yangming were taken aback. They thought that he was a genius.
The ability of a genius was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
“I didn’t expect you to be quite capable.”
Long Hai’s attack was blocked, but he did not seem surprised. He took a few steps back and stood firmly on the side.
Just now, he was not sure of Ou Yangming’s strength and thought that his opponent was too weak, so he did not attack with all his strength. After all, he could not ignore the dragon emperor’s warning.
Now that he had seen the power of laws on Ou Yangming’s body, his heart was once again ignited with the desire to fight. In this way, he did not have to be afraid.
Even if he could not let Ou Yangming be seriously injured, he would not let the young fellow have a good time.
Long Hai made up his mind and swung the long spear in his hand again. At the same time, he shouted internally, “Divine Dragon Strike!”
Golden light flashed, and layers of shadows appeared on the long spear. There seemed to be a divine dragon lurking in the golden light spear.
A turbulent and surging aura filled the colosseum.
“Long Hai’s getting serious.” Long Mo’s face was filled with joy. This Divine Dragon Strike was one of the ultimate arts of the Dragons. Not everyone was qualified to practice it.
Moreover, it was very difficult to practice the move. Even Long Mo did not dare to say that he had mastered it. The strength that Long Hai had displayed had surpassed most of the elders of the Dragons.
There were many geniuses, and monsters were rampant.
This was the reason such a situation had occurred in the chaotic world.
When the elders of the Dragons saw the move that Long Hai had used, they were excited. Each and every one of them felt that they were already old.
Long Shao looked worried. If Ou Yangming used the Acquired Taoist Tool, it would be no problem for him to block this move. Now…
‘Who would’ve thought that Long Hai would use the move so skillfully. This is quite difficult to deal with. Hopefully, Master Ou can withstand it…’
On the platform, Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with battle intent.
“Interesting.”
He originally thought that Long Hai was a Ruler who had just fathomed the laws. He did not take him to heart before this, but he thought differently at this moment.
Long Hai was a genius. The power of his move was something that even experienced Rulers of the laws might not be able to withstand.
Ou Yangming was focused. The magic long spear in his hand was swung out, and the sound of an explosion sounded in the air.
“Big Avalanche!”
Ou Yangming’s sound was loud and deafening. He took a step forward. The spear in his hand carried an overwhelming aura as it whistled toward the spear that was flashing with golden light.
Clang!
The 2 light shadows collided. A light wave flashed between the 2 of them, and the ground that was specially sealed began to tremble.
Ou Yangming steadily lowered himself and did not move at all. On the other hand, Long Hai, who was the first attacker, kept retreating. He kept retreating for more than 10 meters before he stabilized himself.
With just one move, the winner was determined.
Long Hai looked at Ou Yangming with shock. ‘How could he be so powerful?’
He looked at Ou Yangming’s calm eyes and was shocked.
Ou Yangming seemed to have withdrawn most of his strength at the last moment. Otherwise, he would not have just retreated a few steps.
Furthermore, Ou Yangming did not even use the Acquired Taoist Tool.
It was hard to imagine this, but Long Hai had to believe it.
Ou Yangming’s move had opened everyone’s eyes. His strength had exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Long Shao had a smile on his face.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would have won the bet. Long Mo had treasured the Dragon Fragrant Herb, which he had coveted for a long time. He did not expect to obtain it so easily.
Long Mo’s face turned red, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. There was a Sealing Formation around him, but he could still clearly feel the battle above. Even if he was in Long Hai’s shoes earlier, he would not have it any better.
The unexpected did not happen. After this move, Long Hai chose to admit defeat.
If it was a life-or-death battle, Long Hai could not have admitted defeat. At this point, he felt aggrieved. He still had his trump cards, but those trump cards could not be used here.
Given his strength, it would be impossible for him to defeat his opponent. He could feel that his opponent had not fully displayed his strength as well. It was also worth noting that the young fellow did not even use the Acquired Taoist Tool. Long Hai was in despair.
“From now on, the grudge between us will be cut off,” Long Hai said to Ou Yangming after taking a deep breath.
Ou Yangming nodded, then he looked at Long Hai with a smile. He jumped down from the platform. The battle had ended, so there was no point for him to stay on it.
It was better to resolve an enemy than to make an enemy. Long Hai was a tactful person. He should have sensed that Ou Yangming had deliberately given him face. If the young fellow had not withdrawn some of his strength, Long Hai would have made a fool of himself in public.
Long Hai could be considered as a genius, but it was a pity that his strength was still too weak.
Looking at Ou Yangming’s departing figure, Long Shao stood up and hurriedly chased after him.
