Chapter 427: Combined Skill Overlooking from Above!

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, Chong Heqing only felt his arm go numb, while Ju Wuba seized the opportunity to counterattack, the Strangling Divine Scissors bringing a howling wind as it slashed toward his head.

However, Chong Heqing's movement was incredibly agile; a single flip let him dodge this deadly strike.

He followed up with a thrust of his halberd, directly striking Ju Wuba's waist.

Hmph! Trivial tricks!

Ju Wuba snorted coldly, and black qi instantly blocked his waist.

At the same time he swung the Strangling Divine Scissors toward Chong Heqing in a horizontal sweep, trying to kill him in one blow.

However, Chong Heqing, as if he had anticipated it, flashed his body and dodged the Scissors' attack range, and in passing left a deep wound on Ju Wuba's back.

Ah!

Ju Wuba roared in pain, turned around, and saw that Chong Heqing had already leapt into the air using the power of the Treading Cloud Black Steed.

The Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd in his hand flashed with cold light, smashing toward Ju Wuba like a meteor!

Ju Wuba looked up, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.

Ding! Ju Wuba's ability Overbearing Effect Two activates again twice!

Martial Power +2+1, Ju Wuba's current martial power rises to 126!

He took a deep breath, and the black qi around his body suddenly erupted, forming a huge black whirlwind that swept toward the airborne Chong Heqing.

Whoosh—

Faced with this sudden attack, Chong Heqing did not panic.

He flashed his body, dodged the black whirlwind's attack, and in passing flipped a somersault in the air, landing steadily behind Ju Wuba, and casually added another bloodstain to Ju Wuba's broad back.

Not bad reflexes!

Ju Wuba turned around and roared angrily.

As soon as his words fell, he brandished the Strangling Divine Scissors and charged at Chong Heqing; this time his attack speed was faster and fiercer than before.

Black qi coiled around him, like a black dragon soaring and dancing in the air, ready to devour everything at any moment.

Faced with this storm-like assault, Chong Heqing did not retreat a single step.

He drew a deep breath, and the azure-green qi around his body also burst forth, violently colliding with Ju Wuba's black qi.

Boom—

With a deafening roar, the two differently colored qi intertwined and tangled in the air, like two dragons fighting.

At the same time, while Ju Wuba acted as the main force resisting Chong Heqing head-on, Ruan Zhongweng on the side was not idle.

The Gilded One-Legged Copper Statue in his hand shone brightly in the sunlight, like a golden tower dancing in his palm.

Each swing seemed capable of shaking mountains.

Chong Heqing flipped and flew through the air, his figure drifting like the wind; his azure-green qi coiled like an azure dragon around him, protecting him from harm.

His eyes sharp, facing the encirclement of Ruan Zhongweng and Ju Wuba, he showed no trace of panic.

Heh, looks pretty intimidating.

Chong Heqing looked at the Gilded One-Legged Copper Statue in Ruan Zhongweng's hand and chuckled.

Then he flashed his body and dodged Ruan Zhongweng's heavy strike.

Ruan Zhongweng grunted, said nothing, and simply swung the Gilded One-Legged Copper Statue again, smashing toward Chong Heqing.

This time his attack was even more fierce, as if he wanted to smash the entire sky.

Ding! Detected Ju Wuba and Ruan Zhongweng both present, Combined Skill Overlooking from Above activates!

Overlooking from Above: height like a mountain, stature towering, looking down on all beings in the form of a giant; this combined skill is exclusive to warriors of huge stature or height abnormal to ordinary people, and can be activated when more than two meet the same conditions.

Currently Ju Wuba's Martial Power +2, +2, and since his height exceeds Chong Heqing's by more than 2 chi, he suppresses 3 points of Martial Power for heights over 2 chi.

Currently Ju Wuba's Martial Power rises to 128!

Currently Chong Heqing's Martial Power drops to 133!

At the same time, Ju Wuba also launched another fierce attack.

The black qi on his body like a devil in the night swept toward Chong Heqing.

The two cooperated tacitly; facing Chong Heqing's agile movement, they were not impatient but steadily advanced, trying to drive him into a desperate situation.

Chong Heqing faced the two's encirclement, his form constantly flashing, dodging one attack after another.

The azure-green qi traced azure trails in the air, dazzling like meteors.

Using the power of the Treading Cloud Black Steed, he moved swiftly on the battlefield, evading the attacks of the two giants.

Meanwhile, the Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd in his hand also counterattacked without yielding.

Each collision of halberd with scissors, halberd with copper statue, emitted a deafening sound, sparks flying, qi surging.

The atmosphere on the battlefield grew ever more tense; both sides exerted their utmost to defeat the other.

However, as time passed, Chong Heqing began to gradually adapt to the two giants' combat rhythm.

Relying on the profound Daoist body technique and halberd method, he constantly weaved between the two giants, seeking a breakthrough; each strike precisely hit the weak point in their attacks.

Zhu Que multitasked, while facing off against those archers in the distance, he also paid attention to the battle here of the Five Elements Armor Second Unit, Yunhuai Zhi, and Chong Heqing.

"Daoist Guardian Law, indeed lives up to its reputation."

Zhu Que muttered to himself.

The bow and arrow in his hand were aimed again at Chong Heqing, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

However, Chong Heqing seemed to sense Zhu Que's intention; he flashed his body, using the huge physiques of Ju Wuba and Ruan Zhongweng to evade Zhu Que's line of sight and arrows.

At the same time, the Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd in his hand also sent several streams of azure-green vigor toward the Vermilion Bird, forcing her to retreat a few steps to avoid the attack.

To be frank, after the two massive obstacles Ju Wu Ba and Ruan Zhongweng appeared, Chong Heqing found it much easier to block the Vermilion Bird's scarlet-red arrows.

Meanwhile, Ju Wu Ba and Ruan Zhongweng opposite him began to feel a bit strained.

Although they were strong, they still had a huge gap in martial power compared to Chong Heqing.

Even Ruan Zhongweng was merely at the Divine General level, not even a War God, and appeared somewhat clumsy before Chong Heqing's agile body technique and halberd technique.
