Chapter 162: Battle of the Dao Foundation

Snap!

As Yu Hu's voice fell, Hao Yi jumped straight down from the roof and landed on the ground.

Before Li Fei could think of any good way to break the deadlock, Hao Yi said to Yu Hu very directly:

"Fine, let me see how you intend to kill me?"

Yu Hu's gaze tightened; he had not expected Hao Yi to be so tough.

In fact, as long as the other party was willing to soften their stance, he had not intended to fight them today.

As it turned out, Hao Yi chose to meet force with force!

At this point, there was no room for maneuver left for either side.

"Good!"

Yu Hu walked forward step by step, the frost under his feet spreading toward Hao Yi, and the snowflakes falling around them also flew toward Hao Yi one after another.

This snowy scene was not just for show; within the range of this snowy scene, an opponent's movements would be hindered, and the implants within their body would also be affected, becoming inactive.

Once Hao Yi was drawn into the range of the snowy scene, the battle between the two Dao Foundation realm powerhouses was ready to erupt at any moment!

Green Origin Fist Stronghold.

Xiang Du walked into the residence where Shangguan Xiao lived and saw her drinking tea in the main hall:

"Great Leader, Yu Hu has taken people to the Wuguang District."

Shangguan Xiao continued drinking her tea without lifting her head: "It seems he is desperate like a dog jumping over a wall."

"Also, news came from the Martial Arts Hall that Yu Hu has transferred their experts over as well, and afterward, Mr. Hao Yi also went to the Wuguang District."

Xiang Du said.

Shangguan Xiao had never told them about the relationship between herself and Hao Yi, but she had always had people inquire about Hao Yi's news and pay attention to his movements, so Xiang Du and the others all knew that Shangguan Xiao valued Hao Yi highly, and thus they reported news about him in a timely manner.

"Hmm?"

Shangguan Xiao suddenly looked up, "He went too?"

Then she thought somewhat sweetly: "Senior Brother must have heard the news about me and is worried I might suffer a loss."

Thinking of this, her face beamed with a smile, and she ordered:

"Have people continue to scout for news from the Wuguang District; all information related to Hao Yi must be reported immediately."

"Yes."

Xiang Du received the order and left.

Before long, he returned again, bringing the latest news to Shangguan Xiao:

"Yu Hu has publicly revealed his true strength; he is a Dao Foundation realm powerhouse!"

Afterward, he described in detail the scene when Yu Hu unleashed his Cold Evil Drifting Snow Force.

Shangguan Xiao's expression changed slightly: "This is a high-tier force; to think this Yu Hu has been hiding so deeply?"

"There is more."

Xiang Du continued, "Yu Hu publicly exposed that Mr. Hao Yi's Dao Foundation had been severely damaged, and Mr. Hao Yi provoked him into attacking; the two of them should be fighting by now."

A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Xiao's eyes; she clearly had killing intent.

Xiang Du looked at his Great Leader's expression and asked: "Should we go to the Wuguang District to help?"

He could see that his Great Leader cared very much about Hao Yi, and since Hao Yi's Dao Foundation had been severely damaged, fighting Yu Hu would inevitably be very dangerous, so he guessed that the Great Leader would likely set off immediately to rush over.

But to his surprise, although Shangguan Xiao's expression was ugly, she had no intention of moving, still holding the teacup in her hand:

"No need to go."

"Ah?"

Xiang Du felt very surprised, thought of a certain possibility, and asked tentatively:

"Could it be that the news of Mr. Hao Yi's Dao Foundation being damaged is fake?"

Shangguan Xiao shook her head and said gloomily:

"No, it is true; his martial Dao foundation has indeed been severely damaged."

On the long street, Yu Hu had drawn Hao Yi into his snowy scene.

Flakes of snow drifted toward Hao Yi, but after entering within three feet of Hao Yi's body, these snowflakes instantly melted; not a single one could land on him.

The frost spreading from under Yu Hu's feet was likewise unable to enter the three-foot radius in front of Hao Yi.

Seeing this scene, Yu Hu was thoughtful: "Is his core force fire-attributed?"

This just happened to mutually restrain his ice-attributed force; it would depend on whose power was stronger.

Yu Hu took a step forward and pushed a palm toward the front.

The next second, the wind and snow filling the sky were pulled by his palm momentum, surging crazily toward Hao Yi.

Just a moment ago it was drifting snowflakes, but now it had suddenly turned into a blizzard!

The City Guard soldiers and the Tiger Blade Gang gunmen watching the battle had retreated over a hundred meters in advance, but they still felt a bone-chilling cold and could not help but shiver.

Those snowflakes had all become as sharp as knives and contained a trace of Cold Evil force; once they struck a human body, they could freeze their muscles, blood, and the implants within their body!

The black leather gloves Hao Yi wore on his hands ignited without fire and instantly turned to ash, revealing his blood-red hands.

Seeing this scene, Yu Hu immediately felt relieved, because the appearance of mutations in the body indicated that the implants within were having problems.

This detail could corroborate that the intelligence he had obtained was not fake; Hao Yi's Dao Foundation indeed had problems.

Facing the raging blizzard, Hao Yi also simply pushed out a palm.

The next second, an astonishing heat erupted, as if a huge furnace had suddenly appeared on the long street, with molten iron flowing within it.

A crimson pillar of fire shot up into the sky from where Hao Yi stood, melting all the crazily surging blizzard!

Yu Hu stepped forward, rushing toward the pillar of fire in front, while simultaneously pointing a finger forward; over a hundred snowflakes appeared out of thin air, then rapidly froze into individual frost flowers, which then shot out like arrows, colliding with the astonishingly powerful crimson fire pillar ahead.

This time, these frost flowers suddenly exploded before they could be melted by the flames.

Bang bang bang bang bang—

It was as if someone had thrown a dozen grenades on the long street again!

A large hole was blown into the fire pillar, and Yu Hu took the opportunity to rush in, slapping a palm toward Hao Yi's chest.

Just as Yu Hu's palm was only three feet away from Hao Yi's chest, a bone spur suddenly shot out from his palm, stabbing toward Hao Yi's heart!

Dao Foundation realm powerhouses can possess more than one implant, and naturally, they can possess multiple extraordinary abilities.

The first implant Yu Hu incorporated was the water-attributed second-grade medium 【Cold Civet】, and the second implant was the metal-attributed third-grade low 【Bone Calamity】.

Because metal generates water, after integrating the metal-attributed primordial Qi, Yu Hu's Cold Evil force could become even stronger.

And at this moment, he simultaneously activated two extraordinary abilities of 【Bone Calamity】: one was to make the bones in his body proliferate rapidly, allowing him to stab out many bone spurs. The other was to attach a layer of metallic substance to the surface of the bones, making them harder and sharper!

First using the Cold Evil Drifting Snow Force to make the target freeze and become brittle, then using bone spurs to break through—this was a killing move Yu Hu created himself, which won by its suddenness, making it difficult for people to guard against.

However, just as the bone spur pierced Hao Yi's clothes and was about to strike his chest, a force surged out from his body, actually instantly melting the bone spur Yu Hu had sprouted!

"Furnace Force?"

Yu Hu finally saw what core force Hao Yi practiced.

Furnace Force is the force that can be practiced by the fire-attributed implant 【Refining Blade】; Wei Ge's 【Magnetic Horn】 has two extraordinary abilities, which are suction and repulsion targeting metal, and 【Refining Blade】 likewise has two extraordinary abilities targeting metal:

One is the dissolution of metal.

One is the shaping of metal.

Therefore, by combining Furnace Force with the extraordinary abilities of 【Refining Blade】, Hao Yi could instantly melt Yu Hu's bone spurs.

Yu Hu's mind quickly flashed through the martial Dao foundations associated with 【Refining Blade】, guessing which kind of Dao Foundation Hao Yi practiced while continuing to attack Hao Yi.

His Cold Evil Drifting Snow Force was a high-tier force after all; if Hao Yi only used Furnace Force to respond, defeat would be a matter of time!

Inside the fire pillar, the two Dao Foundation powerhouses were exchanging blows.

Because they were surrounded by the fire pillar, the crowd watching from the outside could not see the situation of the battle inside and could only feel the constant commotion:

Muffled, thunder-like explosions sounded, and the ground shook violently time and again, as if some heavy object was constantly slamming into the ground.

The fire pillar, which was originally over five meters high, was shrinking; frost flowers flew out from within, then exploded into frost filling the sky, only to be immediately melted into rainwater by the flames.

On the long street, it was actually raining heavily in the area where the two were fighting!

This scene made everyone's hearts sway, and the martial artists present all felt awe and longing.

So when martial Dao reaches the heights, the scenery is actually this magnificent and mysterious!

Li Fei looked at that area with worry, unable to help but feel concerned for his teacher.

But at this time, even if he wanted to expose his strength and rush over to help, there was no way.

In order to kill Zhang Mingze, his blood soul had consumed nearly 70 points, and with less than one-third of his 'health bar' remaining, he feared he would be beaten to death soon after rushing up!

Moreover, once he acted rashly, the people from the Tiger Blade Gang would certainly not sit idly by; by then, a chaotic battle would erupt completely, and only heaven would know what the final situation would be.

"Still not strong enough!"

Li Fei clenched his fists tightly.

"Junior Martial Aunt should have received the news by now; she will definitely bring people to rush over."

At this time, Li Fei could only hope that Shangguan Xiao's side could arrive to provide support.

Previously, the City Guard had been suppressing the Tiger Blade Gang, while the Stop-War Academy had not stepped in to help; Li Fei could see that the Head of the Academy, Yan, and Yu Hu were not of one mind, so if Shangguan Xiao arrived, Yan Yichen might not necessarily step in to help.

By then, with two Dao Foundation realm powerhouses joining forces, Yu Hu would only be able to choose to retreat.

Green Origin Fist Stronghold.

Shangguan Xiao, in whom Li Fei placed his hopes, was still sitting in the main hall drinking tea and had not rushed to the Wuguang District to support her Senior Brother.

"Great Leader, since Mr. Hao's Dao Foundation has indeed been severely damaged, wouldn't it be too dangerous for him to fight Yu Hu?"

Xiang Du looked at Shangguan Xiao in confusion.

He did not understand why, even though the Great Leader cared so much about Hao Yi, she would not set off to help at such a critical moment?

Shangguan Xiao laughed, her face full of pride as she said:

"Have you all been curious why I care so much about Hao Yi? Because he is my senior fellow apprentice."

"Hao Yi is your senior fellow apprentice?"

Xiang Du was indeed surprised.

"Yes, he is my senior fellow apprentice. How could my senior fellow apprentice lose?"

Shangguan Xiao said in a tone that took it for granted.

"But isn't Mr. Hao..."

"My senior fellow apprentice's Dao foundation was indeed severely damaged, and his current strength is indeed far from his peak."

Shangguan Xiao looked outside the main hall, her eyes sparkling:

"But that only means my senior fellow apprentice is not as powerful as he once was; it does not mean he is not as powerful as others!"
