Chapter 672

Battles at the level of a Mountain Lord are truly terrifying; a mere movement can shift mountains and rivers, turning the heavens and earth upside down. Ordinary warriors dare not even approach, as they would be instantly wiped out by the residual power.

As for Lord Huohuo, the Red Gold Mountain Lord, in order to hold his territory and defend his dignity while facing two opponents, he chose to forcefully withstand the peak strike of the Daoist Priestess Xuan Yuezi while attempting to decapitate Xiang Xiangzi.

But unfortunately, he failed.

Although Xiang Xiangzi was disheveled and in a sorry state, she managed to avoid this fatal blow with the help of her cloud-riding technique.

At the same time.

The Heavenly Dao Seal hovering above the head of the Red Gold Mountain Lord Lord Huohuo crashed down with a roar.

This strike was enough to level a hundred miles of land.

One must know that the Heavenly Dao Seal is a high-grade Dao treasure, its power far exceeding the Star-Shattering Spear in Xiang Xiangzi's hand.

The seal, as towering as a mountain, carrying boundless divine light and entwined with the power of dragon and tiger, descended upon Lord Huohuo, bearing the force of heaven and earth.

Lord Huohuo had no time to dodge. To kill Xiang Xiangzi, he could only withstand this blow head-on. He roared, erupting with the great power within his bloodline, and dazzling radiance emerged from the fire-cloud patterns all over his body. Each ray of light was as scorching as a raging fire, and under the interweaving of all the firelight, it seemed as if he had donned an armor forged from flames.

With the flames clinging to his heavy red gold armor and his formidable physical body, he pushed his defense to the limit at this moment.

"Boom!"

A massive roar echoed between heaven and earth.

The descending Heavenly Dao Seal was brought to a dead stop in mid-air, and the talismans hanging from it shattered one by one. No matter how the dragon and tiger power roared, it could not crush the burly figure amidst the flames.

The Red Gold Mountain Lord Lord Huohuo was like a god from mythology, using unparalleled strength to resist the falling firmament.

"Are you kidding me? Resisting my Heavenly Dao Seal with a physical body?" Xuan Yuezi bit her lip, finding it inconceivable.

This was, after all, a high-grade Dao treasure, the Heavenly Dao Seal.

Driven by her peak Three-Flower Realm strength, its power was terrifying. Fellow cultivators at the same realm, without a Dao treasure of equal level to counter it, would die in a single strike, yet the opponent had resisted it with his physical body alone.

"Don't give him a chance to breathe. Xuan Yuezi, grant me the blessing of the Size-Manipulation Technique." Xiang Xiangzi transmitted her voice, then, filled with murderous intent, her figure turned into a stream of light, and she charged at the Red Gold Mountain Lord with the Star-Shattering Spear.

At this moment, rays of ultimate radiance condensed upon the Star-Shattering Spear.

This was the Great Art of Dividing Rivers into Land.

Fearing that the sharpness of this Dao treasure was insufficient, Xiang Xiangzi added the blessing of Dao arts to increase its power, while simultaneously unleashing the strength of ten dragons and ten tigers, pushing her lethality to the limit.

"Alright." Xuan Yuezi reacted, simultaneously controlling the Heavenly Dao Seal while casting the Size-Manipulation Technique.

In an instant.

The Star-Shattering Spear, originally only a few feet long, suddenly grew, transforming into a massive spear over ten feet long, its power doubling along with it.

The Size-Manipulation Technique is not just about changing size; power and magic power can also grow and strengthen. It is just that this Dao art is very difficult to cultivate and extremely draining to cast, so Xuan Yuezi usually prefers not to use it.

But with the opponent currently resisting the Heavenly Dao Seal, such an opportunity was fleeting. If they could drain his stamina and, with luck, kill him, that would be for the best.

Seeing the massive spear hurtling toward him, the Red Gold Mountain Lord's pupils suddenly constricted.

He was not having an easy time resisting the Heavenly Dao Seal; it was like carrying dozens of mountains on his back. Although uninjured, he was fighting under a heavy burden, and his strength was greatly suppressed.

Facing this strike, the Red Gold Mountain Lord Lord Huohuo could not dodge either and could only roar, choosing to withstand it head-on.

He could only trust in his physique and the heavy red gold armor on his body.

This was the price he had to pay after failing to kill Xiang Xiangzi.

The Star-Shattering Spear arrived with supreme power; wherever it passed, the escaping sharpness was enough to split the sky and tear the earth.

Boom!

Another terrifying explosion echoed.

The Star-Shattering Spear struck Lord Huohuo's chest instantly. The terrifying sharpness, carrying the power of dragon and tiger, combined with the Great Art of Dividing Rivers into Land, ravaged his body, yet even so, it could not destroy the heavy armor on him.

The armor forged from red gold was truly extraordinary. Such a terrifying attack left only a few scratches on it, and although the spot hit by the Star-Shattering Spear was dented, it could not pierce his body.

"Is the armor forged from red gold truly indestructible?" Seeing this, Xiang Xiangzi was extremely annoyed.

The items in this world were too blessed by heaven. The opponent's heavy armor wasn't even a magic treasure; just by smelting red gold into the shape of armor, it possessed power not inferior to a high-grade defensive Dao treasure.

Moreover, the opponent's armor was exceptionally heavy, at least seven or eight centimeters thick, equivalent to at least a dozen layers of red gold stacked together.

This strange metal was enough to block the vast majority of her attacks.

However, even though the attack was blocked, the immensely powerful force was transmitted through the armor to the Mountain Lord Lord Huohuo. While bearing the Heavenly Dao Seal and resisting the Star-Shattering Spear, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of the Mountain Lord's mouth.

Clearly, his internal organs had been shaken and injured.

"I am the Red Gold Mountain Lord; how can my majesty be provoked? Get lost!" The Red Gold Mountain Lord roared again, still having the strength to counterattack. The muscles in his hands bulged like steel, and an axe-halberd carrying unparalleled power slashed onto the Star-Shattering Spear.

As the weapons collided, sparks splashed across the sky like a meteor shower.

Xiang Xiangzi felt the Star-Shattering Spear in her hand shake violently. This force shattered her magic power restraint, and immediately after, the massive spear was forcefully knocked away. After breaking the Size-Manipulation spell, the Star-Shattering Spear quickly shrank back to its original size.

Only now, two irreparable axe marks were left on the Star-Shattering Spear, and there were even quite a few cracks on it. Furthermore, the sharp tip of the spear was damaged. If it were slashed heavily by the opponent a few more times, I fear this Dao treasure would shatter.

"I, this priestess, will crush this muscle monster." Xiang Xiangzi ignored the Star-Shattering Spear that had been knocked away, for she had to seize every opportunity in battle.

Taking advantage of this gap, she instantly rode the clouds and arrived, landing on top of the Heavenly Dao Seal. As soon as she landed, the power of ten dragons and ten tigers erupted again, making the already heavy Heavenly Dao Seal even heavier.

The Mountain Lord Lord Huohuo's figure faltered. At this moment, he could no longer hold on, and his whole body couldn't help but plummet downward.

Xuan Yuezi couldn't help but break into a sweat on her forehead. Although she wasn't fighting head-on, she was consuming magic power crazily to maintain the Heavenly Dao Seal and coordinate with Xiang Xiangzi. She was truly worried that she would be the one to run out of magic power first and die here.

So, she hurriedly pinched a magic seal and cast the Great Art of Gathering Qi from Heaven and Earth.

The spiritual energy of the sky gathered toward her, which made her feel slightly better.

Xiang Xiangzi was the same; while unleashing the power of dragon and tiger, she pinched a magic seal to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, relying on this Heavenly Dao Seal to forcefully suppress this Red Gold Mountain Lord, not seeking to crush him to death, but hoping to drain his massive stamina.

After all, they had the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish their magic power, while the opponent had no way to eat or rest.

However, at the same time as this great battle was taking place here.

On the other side.

The God-Blood Warrior Bei Gong had also charged toward Li Yi.

However, both of them were consciously staying away from this battlefield, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire of such a battle, otherwise, they would have to guard against a casual strike from a powerful enemy while fighting.

Li Yi glanced at this God-Blood Warrior named Bei Gong.

Although the opponent was not of the direct God-Blood lineage, he was a genuine powerhouse at the Mountain Lord level, also wearing armor forged from red gold, indestructible, and the weapon in his hand was a long halberd, also crafted entirely from red gold.

Just these two weapons, each one would start at a price of one hundred thousand gold, and only the Red Gold Mountain Lord had the financial power to craft weapons from red gold.

Li Yi's weapon was very simple: the Treasure Moon Bow. There was only one Marquis Wu Jin Arrow, and most of the other arrows were of the high-grade magic treasure level.

With just one glance, he knew that relying on high-grade magic treasure arrows would never pierce the opponent's red gold armor. To kill this person, he had to rely on the Marquis Wu Jin Arrow and take him out by surprise.

"A direct descendant of God-Blood, with the potential to become a Lord of a region in the future, yet you are so impatient to provoke the majesty of the Red Gold Mountain Lord. You are too anxious. Today, let me take your head and make it into an exquisite wine vessel; in the future, I will use your head to drink fine wine." Bei Gong laughed wantonly.

He could sense from his aura that although this direct descendant of God-Blood before him was very strong, he should not yet be at the Mountain Lord level.

Although the opponent was a notch below him, he would not hold back.

For any warrior who dared to challenge a Mountain Lord, he would use his strongest power to kill them. Only in this way could he maintain his majesty and deter other enemies.

Li Yi did not speak, only gripping the Treasure Moon Bow tightly. At the same time, the power of three dragons and three tigers erupted, quickly drawing the great bow. A magic treasure-level arrow was immediately ready to be fired, and he aimed directly at this God-Blood Warrior, Bei Gong.

"Your bow and arrow are weak and powerless; they cannot shoot a Mountain Lord-level God-Blood Warrior." Seeing this provocative action, Bei Gong was instantly enraged and immediately brandished his red gold long halberd, charging over instantly.

Although his strength was not as good as that Red Gold Mountain Lord, Li Yi was not a peak Three-Flower Realm cultivator either. To him, this was also a formidable enemy.

Whoosh.

In an instant, the Treasure Moon Bow suddenly fired a magic treasure-level arrow. The speed was extremely fast, heading straight for Bei Gong's forehead.

Bei Gong had been prepared. The moment Li Yi fired the arrow, he immediately raised his arm to block. Clearly, he had anticipated that the opponent would shoot at his head.

And Bei Gong had a bracer crafted from red gold on his arm, with astonishing defense.

Although the high-grade magic treasure-level arrow fired by the Treasure Moon Bow had astonishing power, it was, after all, only made of magic treasure-level material. The moment it touched the opponent's red gold bracer, it had no way to pierce it and shattered directly.

The magic treasure arrow was instantly destroyed completely.

And the opponent only faltered for a moment, remaining completely unharmed.
