Chapter 142: The Duel of the Nine Nether Ao Precious Technique against the Dragon Phoenix Combined Strike

"These two types of techniques each have their own unique aspects; if they complement each other, their marvelous uses are boundless," the Vajra Pestle said faintly.

He expressed his support for Mengchen's desire to obtain the Butian Technique and Jietian Technique, saying, "Good! Only by merging the strengths of a hundred schools can one perhaps perceive a different path forward."

Subsequently, Mengchen and Xiyao cast their gazes over again; the situation had turned around due to the appearance of the Jietian Technique.

"How did this little fox do it?"

At this moment, Heizi, the party involved, was completely bewildered. Clearly, he had been on the verge of subduing her, so how could it suddenly be as if time and space had been reversed, causing the might of the nine tails he had unleashed to dissipate and return to behind him of their own accord?

"Boom!"

Just in that previous instant, Tianhu Shaonü swung her palm, striking out with great force, knocking the Jiuyou Ao flying and seizing the initiative.

"Little puppy, submit to me obediently!"

Tianhu Shaonü utilized the Kunpeng Extreme Speed, and with her body wreathed in surging Divine Power, she broke through her limits and launched an offensive surrounding the Jiuyou Ao.

Although Heizi was struck by a palm and sent flying, in truth, he did not suffer much damage; the defensive power of his pitch-black scales was truly astonishing.

Afterward, the two exchanged palm and claw strikes, ox horns split the air, their respective Divine Power rays intertwined, and nine tails swept across the sky, resulting in successive massive collisions.

They fought fiercely, with blood splashing from time to time; it was incredibly intense, and as time passed, they had already exchanged hundreds of blows.

For both Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi, this was a bitter battle; both sides suffered injuries in the exchange, but neither could do anything to the other.

"Thud!"

Tianhu Shaonü risked taking a hit from the Jiuyou Ao's sharp claws so that her own palm print, carrying massive Divine Power, could slam into the Jiuyou Ao's body, the sound deafening.

"Little fox, you've provoked me!"

Heizi roared in fury, black light erupted from his entire body of black scales, his red hair stood on end and fluttered, and he went completely mad.

"Nine-Nether World-Extinguishing!"

Black mist rose from the scales erupting with black light, and his own dark radiance surged, condensing in the high sky into a terrifying Jiuyou Ao Dharma Image, ferocious and immensely powerful.

Gradually, Heizi's true form merged with that Jiuyou Ao Dharma Image, the Dharma Image and his true body becoming one. Most horrifying was that the nine tails behind him had actually turned into nine chains of order, appearing capable of piercing the cosmos, stabbing through the void, and drawing upon endless power.

That terrifying and ferocious giant claw swept out toward Tianhu Shaonü, covering the sky and earth, erupting with an aura of world-extinction and triggering shocking phenomena, as if causing the great universe to collapse, remnant worlds to turn to ash, and countless stars to burst apart.

"Is this the Nine Nether Ao Precious Technique?" Mengchen watched with a dazed expression, his eyes filled not only with shock but also a burst of fiery heat. "The timing seems to have matured; such a world-shocking technique must be obtained."

Beside him, Xiyao was already so shocked that her mouth hung open, her beautiful eyes appearing exceptionally wide.

The surging aura of destruction pressed down, causing Tianhu Shaonü to feel a chill in her heart. "Could this be the legendary Nine Nether Ao Precious Technique?!"

Shocked as she was, she still formed seals with her hands, intending to meet it head-on.

"True Dragon Precious Technique! Rise!"

After forming the seals, Runes surged. Following her soft shout, a ferocious, massive True Dragon soared into the sky from behind her, accompanied by a heaven-shaking dragon roar that was deafening.

"Zhenhuang Precious Technique!" This was not all; the moment the True Dragon appeared, her Divine Power flared with a brilliant red-gold light. "Ah..." Following a phoenix cry that could pierce one's heart and lungs, a Zhenhuang flapped its wings and appeared in an instant.

For a time, Tianhu Shaonü had the True Dragon dwelling majestically on her left and the Zhenhuang flapping its wings and crying on her right, looking awe-inspiring.

"I never imagined this little fox would also possess the Zhenhuang and True Dragon Precious Techniques?!" Mengchen was astonished; this little fox was truly full of hidden depths!

He knew that at this moment, the little fox wanted to unleash the Dragon Phoenix Combined Strike to resist Heizi's Nine Nether Ao Precious Technique.

"Truly worthy of an Ancient Sect; such a foundation is truly beyond one's reach," Xiyao gazed on, feeling very envious.

Hearing Xiyao's soft whisper, Mengchen turned his head and said with a smile, "This little fox's True Dragon and Zhenhuang Precious Techniques are, like those of Yuechan, incomplete. Xiyao, you need not be envious. When the opportunity arises, watch me beat it out of that little fox; I will definitely obtain these two techniques from her. Then we can practice them together. Although these two techniques are incomplete, the two combined, I fear, could absolutely compare to the might of a Ten Fiends Technique."

"Is that really possible?" Xiyao's beautiful eyes widened in an instant, filled with wonder and a trace of anticipation.

"It must be possible!" Mengchen gazed into Xiyao's eyes and said with great certainty. As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying fluctuations in the distance erupted instantly, causing them to look over at the same time.

They saw Tianhu Shaonü's two jade hands clasp together in an instant, then shift to form a Dharma seal. The True Dragon and Zhenhuang attacked together, their bellies facing and intertwining as they circled upward, engaging in a fierce collision with that terrifying and ferocious giant claw.

"Boom..., Bang!"

It was as if the end of the world had arrived there; the surroundings turned dark in an instant, followed by an explosive sound. A blinding and startling surge of Divine Power burst forth, and the terrifying shockwaves spread out, appearing as if they would tear the two of them apart.

Xiyao felt the terrifying might there and was chilled to the bone; invisibly, it felt as if even breathing had become difficult.

But at this moment, the scene before her made her feel a sense of warmth in her heart.

As the shockwaves spread out, Mengchen stood in front of her, blocking all the terrifying aftermath and sparing her from the impact.

"Alright, once this round ends, do not let them fight anymore. If they continue, I fear both will end up severely injured," the Vajra Pestle, which had been flickering with golden light in mid-air, suddenly spoke.

"Mm, good! It is indeed time to stop them," Mengchen replied, turning his head.

His original intention had been to see if Heizi had fully mastered the inherited Nine Nether Ao divine ability. Now that he had seen it, there was no need to let them continue fighting.

However, this battle also had an unexpected harvest, which was the True Dragon Precious Technique and Zhenhuang Precious Technique that Tianhu Shaonü had unleashed.

Originally, if he wanted to obtain these two divine abilities, he would have had to scheme against Yuechan, and considering Yuechan's personality and his relationship with her, he feared it would not be very easy to obtain them.

Now, since that Tianhu Shaonü also possessed the True Dragon and Zhenhuang Precious Techniques, compared to Yuechan, perhaps it would be easier to obtain them from her.

Sparks surged there, endless light rain scattered down, and the terrifying might was incredibly astonishing.

This was only because they were in this mansion left behind from ancient times, where part of the might was invisibly suppressed; if this were in the outside world, it would likely be enough to directly cause dozens of miles of mountains and rivers to overturn.

By the time the decisive battle reached this point, the two of them had also exerted their full strength without reservation.

"Bang..."

Following a loud crash, the endless, surging Divine Power collided fiercely, spreading out infinite divine might.

The Dragon Phoenix Combined Strike and the terrifying, ferocious giant claw were finally both exhausted and dissipated in an instant.

The divine might released before they dissipated was also enough to send Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi staggering back simultaneously.

As they retreated, the Divine Power and Runes on Tianhu Shaonü's body surface vanished, and Heizi's Nine Nether Ao Dharma Image was also unable to be maintained; when the two of them barely steadied their figures, they swayed.

Clearly, after this battle, their physical strength and Divine Power were nearly exhausted.

But at this moment, they still glared coldly at each other, wishing they could knock the other to the ground.

"Little fox! If you have the ability, come again!" Heizi shouted loudly, wanting to fight again.

"Hmph! Bring it on!" Tianhu Shaonü looked serious, refusing to show weakness.

"You can't even stand steady, and you still want to fight!" Mengchen shook his head lightly at the sight.

Following his gaze, Mengchen whispered to Xiyao, "These two really are endless. Xiyao, wait here for a moment."

"Mm! Senior Brother Mengchen, hurry and go stop them! They were fighting so fiercely before, it really makes one worry." Xiyao nodded gently, her words sounding somewhat urgent, for in her heart she was truly afraid they would start fighting again.

"Alright!"

Immediately, Mengchen flashed out, and at the same time, Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi channeled their offensive powers, each rushing out to kill.

Mengchen struck rapidly, positioning himself between the two, opening all eleven Cave Heavens, and unleashing a power of confinement to instantly bind them both.

The second chapter for today, delivered as promised.
