Ultimately, Master Qingyang still didn’t engage with Lu Er, the Loose Cultivator Alliance sent an interdiate-level Golden Core Patron instead.
From Lu Er’s words, everyone knew that Master Qingyang was once at the mid-stage Golden Core, so no one felt it was unfair.
This kind of death battle duel is the cruelest, it’s hard to kill a Master, but once you enter such a venue, there’s simply no way to avoid it.
Master Qingyang was also a decisive person, after exchanging blows for a while and realizing he couldn’t win, he directly burned his essence blood to increase his combat strength.
This is a ans usually used by lower-level cultivators, it was rare for a Golden Core Master to be so desperate, and the Golden Core Patron from the Loose Cultivator Alliance was also taken aback: Is it necessary to go this far?
Although Master Qingyang’s combat strength was slightly inferior, he made up for it by being willing to fight fiercely. In the end, he went all out and took a heavy blow, resulting in both being heavily injured.
Master Qingyang’s injuries were more severe, not only injuring his foundation, but he would have no hope of recovery in less than a hundred years. However, the opposing patron did not fare well either, and also had his foundation injured.
The two were unable to continue the fight and had to give up. A death battle doesn’t necessarily require one to die; if they lacked the strength to fight... that’s how it ends.
Master Hongyao stepped forward, emotionless, raising her hand in salute and spoke in a cold voice, "Hongyao greets fellow Daoists, on behalf of my clan ancestor, I seek a death battle for recompense."
Damn... the Loose Cultivator Alliance wanted to curse; soone representing their ancestors for recompense is usually a tough opponent, representing the honor and promises of their family.
Moreover, if she, as a Golden Core, is representing her ancestor, then her ancestor must have also received a favor while in the Golden Core stage. Now... is her ancestor still alive?
Lu Er had to offer his salute again, "Those who keep promises and value righteousness are worthy of admiration. May I ask your esteed ancestor’s na?"
Master Hongyao completely ignored this question and instead returned the salute, speaking loudly, "I seek a death battle!"
"Huh?" Ji Buseng smacked his lips and muttered softly, "There are still a couple of decent ones in the Hunting Alliance."
Master Jing glanced at him and also muttered softly, "Master Banshan is good to have as a friend, but it’s a pity he’s not good at managent."
He didn’t know that Master Su was quietly sending ssages behind his back, but just speaking of these two, having such fearlessness was proof that Master Banshan was indeed admirable.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Lu Er sighed and shook his head, "Since this is a death match, this ti it’s our turn to send soone first."
He then turned his head slightly, glancing at the Golden Core initial stage who had been rebuked by Master Dang.
The montum of the initial Golden Core rapidly rose, not long later reaching the Golden Core eighth layer, and then he stepped forward, saluted, and spoke loudly, "I don’t like bullying the weak, I invite Master Banshan for a duel."
"Our Hunting Alliance Masters aren’t dead yet," the deputy leader, Master Lan He sneered and stepped forward. He was at the fifth layer Golden Core, able to manage barely, "Master Hongyao, you can step back first."
"Lan He, stand down!" Master Banshan exclaid loudly, "Don’t you trust in my strength?"
Master Lan He stiffened his neck, replying firmly, "Is this so family’s tradition where the main general fights before all the soldiers are gone?"
Master Banshan was enraged upon hearing this, "Will you not even listen to anymore?"
At this mont, a figure flickered, and a robust figure appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.
Truly robust, standing at least three and a half ters tall, broad and muscular, with skin that was grayish-green and a face rather flat—clearly not from the Kunhao Plane.
This person was at the mid-stage Golden Core, and he spoke in a muffled voice, "I’ll fight you."
The opposing high-rank Golden Core frowned, "Is this a Stone Giant or a Highland Giant? Master Banshan, is what you’re doing appropriate?"
Master Banshan couldn’t help but frown, "Aman, stand down."
Aman replied in a muffled voice, "Master, this is on the doorstep, Aman dies... you cannot die!"
Master Banshan laughed angrily, "This is a death battle, a battle of honor, and you are just my guard!"
"I am also a Golden Core," Aman said without turning his head, then raised his hand, signaling the opponent, "Co on!"
The face of the high-rank Golden Core didn’t look good, but in the end, he raised his hand, pulled out a large hamr, and slamd it toward his opponent!
Seeing this, Master Dang and Master Jing shook their heads simultaneously, "Fools!"
Hearing this, Yan Yuxi and Feng Jun both turned their heads to look, their minds echoing with the thought, "How stupid is he?"
Master Dang didn’t respond because an answer would give the opponent a hint. Instead, Master Jing replied with divine sense to the two, "Stone Giants and Highland Giants look quite similar, but if the opponent dares to ascend, how could it be a Stone Giant? It must be a Highland Giant."
Stone Giants and Highland Giants exist on the sa plane, actually subdivisions of the sa race.
Stone Giants excel in battling among rocks and sand, with incredibly tough bodies and strong regenerative capabilities, usually not leaving the ground. The best thod to deal with such creatures is a heavy blow, just like the approach currently being taken.
However, Highland Giants do not live on ordinary rocky mountains but in high-altitude icy regions. Their bodies are equally formidable, but with weaker regenerative abilities; they fear heat, not cold.
The two types of giants are both incredibly strong. Using a big hamr against Stone Giants is a helpless action, but using it against the Highland Giants is a bit of a wrong choice.
This giant decisively flew into the air, could it be a Stone Giant?
Indeed, if one were to use a Blazing Fla Talisman, it would be a good choice against both types of giants – it’s estimated that this person doesn’t have the right talismans on hand, after all, the supply and demand for Golden Core level talismans are small and trade volu is limited.
A Golden Core is Kunhao Plane’s top combat strength, selling you a few talismans puts my Golden Core in danger.
As expected, the Golden Core Giant nad Aman didn’t dodge, but directly took the hit with a hamr, simultaneously taking out a heavy mace, fiercely smashing it toward the opposing Golden Core.
The Golden Core wasn’t a damage-taker, but the dodging speed wasn’t slow. After a bout in the air, it was only hit by the heavy mace twice, one of which was just a graze, and then it couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Yet, Aman, even after taking ten or so hamr strikes, only had his skin slightly cracking,
This Golden Core also realized, seemingly choosing wrongly, and directly descended to the ground – Highland Giants are used to aerial combat, being on the ground is a bit better.
On the ground, they tangled for half an hour, trampling the ground within over a hundred miles beyond recognition, that Golden Core suddenly conjured a talisman, "Swamp Technique!"
Swamp Technique is essentially an upgraded version of turning stone into mud, and he used only an Initial Stage talisman, but once the swamp appears, it’s like that, the difference between Golden Core Stage and Initial Stage isn’t very significant.
Of course, to trap soone long term, a higher-level Swamp Technique is more effective.
But for this Golden Core Master, an Initial Stage talisman sufficed because he rely sought to entrap the opponent montarily.
In fact, the Swamp Technique is a strongly restrictive Technique for giants; Aman’s feet were imdiately trapped in the swamp, he rushed forward rapidly, soaring into the sky – he wouldn’t retreat, because for him, when protecting the master, retreat is not an option.
Seizing this gap, that Golden Core sneered, leisurely pulling out a talisman, "Wooden Fire Talisman!"
Turns out he did have Fire Talismans, just not many, afraid of using it in the air, in case the opponent dodged, it would be wasted.
At this mont, sending it forth was just right – the opponent was already trapped.
Wooden Fire Talisman is one of the weaker fire talismans, much weaker than Feng Jun’s Boiling Sea Talisman – that is, Water Fire Talisman, but it has one very clear advantage, which is its extrely strong adhesion, especially effective for burning wood.
Stone is also afraid of fire, so Stone Giants fear fire, Highland Giants prefer cold over heat, and fear fire more, so using this talisman was not a problem.
The mont Aman’s feet were about to leave the swamp, his whole body had already turned into a fire torch.
Of course, a single Wooden Fire Talisman can’t possibly take down Aman, the opposing Golden Core flicked his hand, again drawing out a long spear, about to thrust at the opposite side – he had already confird, the opponent was a Highland Giant, using a big hamr wasn’t very wise.
However, in the next mont, with an earth-shattering explosion, Aman directly self-detonated.
"My god, this fierce?" The onlookers were dumbfounded by this kind of self-detonation at the slightest disagreent – is this truly a Mid-Stage Golden Core?
The Golden Core High-Stage really hadn’t guarded against this move, he had a Defense Talisman on him, but the self-detonation of a Mid-Stage Golden Core was a bit too intense, he was punctured all over.
Coupled with the invasion of fire poison, this strike not only caused severe injuries but also essentially ended his chances of forming a Nascent Soul.
In fact, he couldn’t even circulate his Spiritual Energy right now, he could only sit on the ground, continuously stuffing pills into his mouth, looking pitiful beyond asure.
A Lower-Level Cultivator from the Loose Cultivator Alliance furrowed his brow and was about to fly down – he intended to assist in nursing.
"What do you want to do?" The Second Leader of the Alliance, Master Lan He, locked his presence on him and asked unpleasantly, "Interfering in the battle?"
This Initial Golden Core was quite puzzled, "We won, after all, can’t we rescue our companion?"
"Who said you won?" Master Lan He pointed with his hand, "Look at that."
Everyone turned to look upon hearing and found a large mass of flas still burning – yes, a large mass of fire, not just a small cluster.
Master Dang had also noticed sothing earlier, contemplated, and spoke, "No mistake, is this really a Stone Giant?"
If a Highland Giant self-detonated like that, it would surely be dead, but as for a Stone Giant, it could still be salvaged – actually, it is self-recovery, they can absorb the intent in the sand and stone to achieve self-recovery.
Seeing everyone’s surprise, Master Lan He proudly announced, "Of course, Aman beca Master Banshan’s protector because he believed he could endure hits and recover quickly."
The Initial Golden Core asked in surprise, "Then why did he fly into the sky?"
"Nonsense," Master Lan He glared at him, "Master Banshan was in the sky, what would he be protecting on the ground?"
Yan Yuxi heard this, turned to look at Master Jing, "Then using a hamr at the beginning by this Golden Core High-Stage wasn’t so stupid, was it?"
