Chapter 504: Going to Sea

The giant was a bit stunned.

On one hand, it was the astonishment of being crushed head-on by brute force; on the other hand, it was being stunned by Li Miao's sophistry and righteous tone, feeling that there were a thousand words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't organize the language because he wasn't good at the Central Plains language.

Just at this time, a scream suddenly came from not far away.

"Ah!"

It turned out to be a surviving Great Goose Hall disciple who was lucky enough to retain his ability to act; after waking up from the dizziness and seeing corpses all over the ground, he screamed and crawled away.

Before he could escape a few steps, Li Miao pointed his hand.

*Bang! *

Blood sprayed from his back, revealing a hole that was transparent from front to back. He lost his life while fleeing, his two legs ran a few steps according to inertia, and he fell to the ground with a *thump*.

After pointing this person to death, Li Miao drew a line in the air toward the ground.

*Clatter. *

A True Qi of unknown length swept across at a height of half a foot from the ground, cutting all the human bodies lying on the ground together. Like a wave suddenly rising on flat ground, it splashed out with a *clatter*.

The screams and wails stopped abruptly.

The surroundings were completely silent.

Looking at the brutal scene, the giant was silent for a moment.

When Li Miao arrived at the mountain gate, he had already noticed Li Miao, but Li Miao had a style of watching from the sidelines, so he didn't pay attention... When Li Miao blocked his blade tip, he only felt that Li Miao was observing the openings on his body just now, and only made a move when he was sure.

That was why he said Li Miao was watching from the sidelines; his original intention was actually to accuse Li Miao of hypocrisy, clearly watching him kill all along, but now wanting to intervene.

But now, he finally understood.

This man was not here to save people.

His meaning was not "you shouldn't kill," but "you are not worthy to kill."

If anyone was to kill, it should be him.

Perhaps because Lu Guhong was his prey, perhaps he wanted to torture some information out of Lu Guhong's mouth before killing him; in any case, Li Miao blocking him was not to save people.

And he had to bring Lu Guhong back to Japan.

"My lord, thank you."

The giant said hoarsely.

"Oh?"

Li Miao raised an eyebrow.

"Thank me for what?"

The giant said stiffly.

"Just now, I couldn't control my move; thank you, my lord, for stopping me."

"This method, it's also my first time using it."

As he spoke, his breathing became increasingly heavy.

With the sound of breathing, the patterns formed by the wrinkles on his body and face became increasingly clear, and finally connected together, like a relief.

At the same time, the giant's already huge body, like a ball that had been inflated, expanded by another three-tenths, his upper clothes were shattered, exposing his entire upper body.

"Whoa."

Li Miao narrowed his eyes with interest.

On the giant's exposed skin, the skin wrinkles actually outlined a clear, vivid portrait of a figure—eyes wide open, fangs exposed. Muscles knotted, holding a wisdom sword in his right hand, and a binding demon rope in his left hand. Surrounded by flames, his curly hair dancing like snakes.

It was impressively the image of Acala, the head of the Eight Great Wisdom Kings of the Buddhist Esoteric Sect, the King of Kings, and the main deity of the Five Great Wisdom Kings.

The air the giant breathed out became increasingly hot, steaming up from his mouth and nose, lingering and not dispersing.

He said.

"If we face each other head-on, I am not your match, my lord."

"But I must bring this person back to Japan alive."

"So, thank you. But, excuse me!"

*Clatter-clatter*—

As he spoke, the giant exerted force suddenly, lifting the *naginata* violently!

*Whoosh! *

The *naginata* cut through the air, pointing to the sky.

He actually lifted the *naginata* from under Li Miao's feet!

Taking advantage of the fact that Li Miao's feet hadn't landed on the ground yet, the giant didn't hesitate at all, and the *naginata* turned downward violently!

*Boom! *

The *naginata* hit the ground, and the blade edge shattered instantly!

At the same time, the ground for several *zhang* around jumped up.

Amidst the flying bricks and stones, the giant's gaze swept across the surroundings.

After forcibly pushing this unfamiliar method to its peak, he finally captured Li Miao's figure—above!

The giant looked up; Li Miao descended from the sky, a leg-axe smashing toward his head.

He raised the *naginata* shaft, which was all that remained, and blocked it horizontally above his head.

*Clang! *

With a loud noise, the refined steel shaft shattered.

But it also delayed Li Miao's leg-axe for an instant.

The giant cast aside the two broken shafts and smashed a fist toward Li Miao.

Fist and leg collided.

Another loud noise exploded; the giant's lower leg was smashed into the ground, and he bled from his mouth and nose.

But Li Miao's leg-axe finally stopped on his arm.

Lu Guhong on the side looked over in shock.

Before, the giant could defeat him without any effort, which already made him unable to believe it, but after all, he was from the Ming Sect and had a broad vision, so he could accept that someone could defeat him.

But now, the giant actually blocked a move from Li Miao!

This wasn't anyone else; it was Li Miao!

No one knew the terror of Ji Tianrui better than him, who came from the Ming Sect, but even Ji Tianrui had to plan carefully and avoid Li Miao's edge. And now, a move from Li Miao was actually blocked by someone!

"Could it be that I can really live today?"

Lu Guhong's thoughts raced.

He naturally didn't want to die, but compared to death, he was more afraid of Li Miao's methods. Anyway, it was impossible to escape Li Miao's palm, so it was better to just stretch his neck and be slaughtered, dying more quickly.

But now, the giant blocked a move from Li Miao, which gave him some other ideas.

He had heard clearly what the giant said earlier. The giant didn't want to kill him, just wanted to take him to Japan. If the giant really won, wouldn't he be able to live?

To live from Li Miao's hands!

This was something no one in the entire world had ever been able to do, except for Ji Tianrui!

Lu Guhong gritted his teeth.

"Do I bet?"

"No, I must bet! Otherwise, when this giant is killed by Li Miao, I will really be dead for sure!"

Facing him head-on, he would be killed by Li Miao in one encounter; this was beyond doubt.

But after all, he had already practiced Xuanlan.

Although he hadn't practiced the Life Cultivation path and hadn't connected to his own Xuanlan divine ability, the moment he practiced Xuanlan, he already knew what divine ability he was going to practice and could barely trigger some effects.

Lu Guhong didn't move, pressed his palms on the ground, and a formless True Qi left his body, drifting toward Li Miao and the giant who were in a stalemate like a wisp of green smoke.

"Fast! Fast!"

Lu Guhong tried his best to urge the True Qi to move without changing his expression, and finally sent the True Qi to Li Miao's side after a breath.

A wild joy appeared on his face, and he leaped up violently!

He stretched out his hand into a claw and pointed at Li Miao from afar.

"Freeze!"

The smoke-like True Qi instantly took shape, like several shackles, locking Li Miao's whole body violently!

This was Lu Guhong's Xuanlan divine ability.

He called it 【Smoke Shackle】!

Even a Heaven-Man expert who had practiced two paths of Life Cultivation would find it hard to break free for a while!

He knew this divine ability couldn't lock Li Miao, but all he wanted was a moment of delay!

As long as the giant took advantage of this moment to hurt Li Miao, it would be enough!

As long as he could hurt him, he might win!

If he might win, he might live!

"Do it!"

Lu Guhong roared violently.

Although the giant's moves were rough, he clearly didn't lack experience in life-and-death combat; it was impossible for him not to notice this opportunity! And in a life-and-death struggle, especially a struggle between Heaven-Man experts, the outcome was always decided in an instant!

He looked at the giant and Li Miao with twelve-tenths of expectation.

But the giant didn't move.

He didn't even move a finger.

On the contrary, Li Miao, who was locked, glanced at Lu Guhong with a smile in mid-air.

Lu Guhong's hair stood on end instantly, and he couldn't help but roar angrily.

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

The roar echoed continuously; even a deaf person should have heard it. ===== CHAPTER 505 =====
