"What does he want to do? Could it be that he wants to break through His Highness Ross’s Lei Yun?" soone exclaid in the crowd.
"How is that possible? Lei Yun is summoned by His Highness Ross and is connected to his heart and veins. Who knows how much lightning is hidden inside? How can he be so arrogant as to dare to challenge Lei Yun?" soone replied in horror.
"Reckless, truly too reckless. Your Highness Ross, make him into ashes quickly!"
"..."
Everyone seed to have forgotten that just now they thought Ross’s fierce lightning would turn Ye Haochuan into ashes, but the fierce lightning was broken by Ye Haochuan.
They believed it was impossible, having been broken once by Ye Haochuan, it might be broken a second ti.
"Sword Across the Universe!"
With a light shout from Ye Haochuan, a dragon’s roar suddenly emanated from the Divine Concealnt Sword. Then, a vast spiritual energy overflowed from Ye Haochuan’s body, transforming into a golden giant dragon that roared out with overwhelming montum.
This was the fifth segnt of the Seven-section Rainbow, which Ye Haochuan could use when he broke through to the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage, but had never encountered a suitable opponent.
Now, for the first ti it was used, and the formidable montum was astonishing.
Ross’s expression changed drastically, hastily controlling the Lei Yun to fend off with giant lightning. The imposing presence of this dragon secretly startled even him.
The fierce lightning didn’t hinder the dragon in the slightest; instead, the dragon’s montum increased once more.
"Not good, this dragon also has a thunder attribute and is treating my lightning as nourishnt!" Ross was extrely anxious in his heart, yet at the mont had no other ans, only able to watch the dragon crash into the Lei Yun.
"Roar!"
The dragon let out another deafening roar, opening its mouth wide to swallow the core of the Lei Yun in one gulp. The Lei Yun let out an angry roar, channeling all its lightning into the dragon’s body wildly.
The dragon suddenly let out a plaintive cry, dimming a few shades of its golden light. Although the dragon treated this lightning as sustenance, too much sustenance was more than it could bear.
"Ha!"
Ye Haochuan let out a loud shout, offering up the last of his spiritual energy, arduously holding on.
Even though he used the Communicating with God Treasure Order to double the power of the Sword Across the Universe, Ross was, after all, at the Core Formation Late Stage with formidable strength. This Lei Yun was also foundational to Ross, not sothing easily dealt with.
The two were at an impasse, seeming to compete with their respective depths of reserves.
"Hmph, an ant in the Foundation Establishnt Stage dares to exhaust spiritual energy with , utterly courting death!" Ross snorted lightly, not paying any mind to the fact that his own spiritual energy consumption rate was several tis that of Ye Haochuan’s.
But soon, he noticed sothing was off. Originally, he had seen Ye Haochuan’s spiritual energy run out, yet the next mont he saw Ye Haochuan’s spiritual energy recover.
"Could it be he’s pretending to be weak to lure into exhausting all my spiritual energy?" Ross determined this to be Ye Haochuan’s trap to lure the enemy deep, his heart involuntarily anxious, unsure whether to continue wasting spiritual energy with Ye Haochuan.
It was at this mont of his hesitation that Ye Haochuan accurately sensed a slight diminishing in the Lei Yun’s might.
"A good opportunity!"
Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth and pressed all his spiritual energy forward. The golden light of the dragon burst forth, sweeping the Lei Yun aside with a tail flick.
"This is bad!" Ross suddenly ca to his senses, deeply alard. He had only lost focus for a mont, but that single misstep turned into an eternal regret, leaving him powerless no matter how he tried.
The Lei Yun, like a cal burdened with the final straw, could no longer withstand the dragon’s might and quickly disintegrated.
Puff~
Ross spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.
This Lei Yun, connected to his heart and veins, was his foundation. Now broken by Ye Haochuan, his injuries were devastating.
The dragon in the sky dissipated, and Ye Haochuan’s panting figure quickly appeared before everyone. He was charred all over, his hair seemingly blasted by fireworks, appearing extrely wretched.
Yet even so, no one dared underestimate him. When he destroyed Ross’s Lei Yun, he deeply shocked everyone.
Ye Haochuan landed slowly, holding the Divine Concealnt Sword, and walked leisurely toward Ross.
Ross was anxious, wanting to stop Ye Haochuan, but he had no strength left in his body, not even enough to stand, with nothing to use for hindrance.
People around glanced at each other, so wanting to step forward to help, but recalling Ye Haochuan’s previous power, they hesitated.
Soon, Ye Haochuan crossed into the mage’s most critical attack distance, pressing a sword against Ross’s neck.
A trace of panic finally appeared on Ross’s face, but with his last bit of rationality, he clamped his mouth shut, determined not to utter a word of surrender.
"A fully-fledged Core Formation Late Stage expert, unable to defeat a re Foundation Establishnt ant like . If I were you, I’d buy a soft tofu and bash my head against it.
Stop acting all high and mighty; take the chance to learn from Huaxia a bit more. You can’t underestimate Huaxia’s wisdom!" Ye Haochuan said coldly.
"Cunning Huaxia People, don’t think that just because you won by luck, you can be arrogant. Huaxia is nothing more than our Holy See’s vassal. Your disrespect towards the Holy See’s prestige will eventually co at a price!" Ross stubbornly said, as if defending his last bit of dignity.
"Stubborn!" Ye Haochuan narrowed his eyes, and the Divine Concealnt Sword in his hand moved again.
At this mont, a loud shout suddenly ca from the sky.
"Enough! The match has ended, Haochuan, retreat imdiately!"
The one arriving was none other than Long Xiaotian, who ca to break up the situation. He had received a ssage from Sophia and wanted to rush over as soon as possible, but the Holy See had deliberately held him up, making him unable to attend.
After finally evading the Holy See’s people and arriving, he found that the one he needed to save wasn’t Ye Haochuan but the always defiant His Highness Ross.
Although he seed to scold Ye Haochuan on the surface, inwardly he was happy. He had suffered under Ross’s insolence quite a bit recently, and Ye Haochuan giving Ross a beating was a sweet revenge for him.
However, he was genuinely worried that, in a mont of anger, Ye Haochuan might kill Ross.
Ross, although despicable, was a relatively important mber of the Holy See. Killing him would escalate the conflict between Xuann and the Holy See to an irreconcilable level.
Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan smiled and said, "Brother Long, you’ve overthought this. I just want to pull His Highness Ross up, with no other intentions."
In fact, even without Long Xiaotian’s arrival, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t have killed Ross. Killing is easy, but dealing with the aftermath is complicated. Triggering a dispute between Xuann and the Holy See for the sake of a minor figure like Ross wasn’t worth it.
After saying this, he tilted the Divine Concealnt Sword slightly, embedding it in the ground only half an inch away from Ross’s neck. He then calmly extended his hand, making a gesture to pull Ross up.
However, from his eyes, Ross saw nothing but disdain.
Ross was mortified and pained to the point of wishing for death. Losing to a Foundation Establishnt ant had already shad him utterly, and now enduring such contempt, he wished he could smash his head against Ye Haochuan’s sword for relief.
