Boom!!This time, it was Yi Tianxing who was sent flying backward.
The sudden surge of physical strength inside Long Aotian instantly closed the gap between their bodily might. Combined with the dominance of his Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent, which surpassed Yi Tianxing's Jade-Shattering Spear Intent, he immediately seized the upper hand and reversed the situation.
However, in a fierce battle, victory isn't determined solely by cultivation, bodily strength, or mastery of martial intents. Against a significantly weaker opponent, such an overwhelming advantage could crush them effortlessly. But between two fighters of similar strength, combat talent and adaptability are the true keys to life and death.
Although Yi Tianxing had no idea why Long Aotian's strength had surged, he felt no fear. After all, Long Aotian had never been a normal opponent; treating him with conventional reasoning was pointless.In this battle, any unexpected occurrence was only natural.
"Kill!!"
Wielding his spear, Yi Tianxing struck again and again toward Long Aotian.
His spear thrust forward in straight, lightning-fast strikes, aiming precisely at vital spots—throat, glabella, eyes, heart, navel, and limbs.Each thrust was direct and without flourish.
Yet, behind these simple thrusts, there was an unfathomable force. The spear's speed had reached its peak, each strike nearly impossible to block. There was no fancy variation—only the sheer intent to pierce through the target.
If you couldn't withstand it, you would be pierced through without a doubt.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With each thrust, Yi Tianxing stomped forward heavily with his foot.
For a spear wielder, momentum is everything. If your momentum is like a rainbow, your strikes will be unstoppable and unstoppable, with the spirit of pressing forward regardless of danger.
Each of Yi Tianxing's thrusts carried one intent—to kill Long Aotian.To pierce through his body.To strike down his life.Even if it meant mutual destruction, he would not hesitate.
This was the method of exchanging life for life. Without this deadly momentum, you would be completely suppressed, no matter how strong you were.
As the saying goes:"When the people no longer fear death, what can the officials do to them?"
"He's actually fighting me with a life-for-life approach? Is he really not afraid of dying? Is he insane?"Long Aotian had initially intended to slash Yi Tianxing down with his sword, but this fearless style forced him to pull back, blocking the deadly spear strikes instead.Under the overwhelming force pouring from Yi Tianxing, even Long Aotian found himself retreating.Yi Tianxing's aura was simply too terrifying—too wild, too dominating.
Long Aotian, the self-proclaimed destined king, could not afford to gamble his life against what he considered a "supporting character." That would be a joke.
He would never risk his life so easily.
But such hesitation inevitably led to him being completely suppressed.
With each strike, Yi Tianxing's momentum grew fiercer.After ten consecutive thrusts, Long Aotian was forced into continuous retreat.
"Kill!!"
Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed coldly. Without hesitation, he thrust his spear again.But this time, something stirred.
Inside his Divine Sea, the Primal Chaos Heavenly Emperor Tower trembled slightly, and a surge of mighty power flooded into his spear.Instantly, the force behind the spear skyrocketed.
The spear vibrated, radiating strange divine light.When it thrust out, ripples appeared beneath it, as if an entire world was crashing down.
"No! Something's wrong! He's playing a trick!"
Long Aotian instantly sensed the danger—the pressure from this spear was on a completely different level from before.Its might had multiplied several times over.
For the first time, he felt a genuine threat of death—his brow twitched violently.He had just begun to adapt to Yi Tianxing's previous strikes, but now, this sudden change caught him off-guard, causing true fear to rise within him.
"This is bad!"Inside his storage ring, Dragon Spirit (Long Ling) urgently warned him:"This cultivator still holds terrifying hidden strength! The destructive force in that strike surpasses the Divine Sea realm! You must flee immediately! Use the Blood Escape Talisman—it's a treasure born of heaven and earth. Once activated, no one can stop it!"
Dragon Spirit's voice was full of panic.
"I, Long Aotian, will not lose! I have trump cards too. Victory will be mine if I pay the price. Dragon Spirit, lend me your power!"Long Aotian roared internally, unwilling to flee like a defeated dog. To him, fleeing now would be the greatest humiliation imaginable.
"But if you borrow my power, it will hurt your foundation severely! You'll suffer heavy losses! Your cultivation may stagnate for a long time. It's not worth it!"Dragon Spirit warned desperately.
Long Aotian hesitated for a moment, then his face twisted in fury and resentment:"Fine! A strategic retreat today is to prepare for future domination! I will return!"
With that, he reached to his waist, pulling out a blood-red jade talisman and smashed it without hesitation.
Blood light erupted, enveloping him.
"Trying to flee? Have you asked for my permission?"At that moment, a flash of green light zipped over.
Green Emperor suddenly darted out of nowhere, biting down viciously on the hand Long Aotian held the talisman with.His speed was ridiculously fast—like a bolt of lightning.
"Argh!! Where did this mad dog come from? Let go! Let go of me!"Long Aotian screamed in rage.
This was supposed to be an unstoppable escape, and yet a mangy mutt had interrupted it—something utterly impossible.
Most humiliating of all...his hand had been bitten.By a dog.
If this spread, his name would become a laughingstock across the land.
Swish!!Though furious, Long Aotian reacted quickly. A golden light flashed from his finger—he activated a Golden Touch divine ability.
A flash of golden light startled the Green Emperor into loosening his grip.The blood light engulfed Long Aotian's body fully, and in an instant, he vanished into the void—fleeing successfully.
Boom!!Yi Tianxing's war spear struck the blood light but couldn't break it.
From within the fading blood glow, an enraged roar echoed:"You dirty mutt! You even tore off my belt!!"
The sheer resentment in Long Aotian's voice could almost be felt physically.
"Hmph. You had a path to heaven but chose to barge into hell instead. It seems Green Emperor's bite was right on target. You won't escape easily!"Yi Tianxing initially felt a trace of frustration at Long Aotian's escape.Such an enemy, allowed to roam free, would be like a ticking time bomb hanging over Xuanhuang Town.
But at the next moment, his worry faded.Long Aotian… had been teleported to a very special place.
A place where escape would not be easy.
"Master! Quick, take a look at my teeth! Something's different!!"The Green Emperor happily scampered over, grinning widely to show off his teeth.
In one paw, he was even holding a white jade belt—obviously snatched from Long Aotian.
Yi Tianxing glanced at the Green Emperor's mouth—and couldn't help but blink.
The Green Emperor's teeth…had all turned golden.
The white teeth had become dazzling gold.When he grinned, his mouth shone like a golden lamp.
Yi Tianxing, speechless, simply summoned a mirror and held it up.
The Green Emperor stared into the mirror—and his eyes immediately lit up, sparkling with excitement.
"Wow!! My teeth turned to gold!! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!!"He laughed delightedly, showing off his golden teeth."Now this is true uniqueness! Tell me—where else in the world can you find a dog with a mouthful of golden teeth? I'll become the idol of all dog maidens! The most dazzling noble of the entire canine race! These teeth... are pure gold! And they feel even sharper than before!"
The Green Emperor was completely overjoyed, basking in his newfound "royal glory" without a care.
Yi Tianxing, looking at his green fur, his patchy coat, and now that shiny mouthful of gold teeth...really couldn't see anything "noble" about it.
"Master, this belt is a gift from your most loyal servant. Please accept it!"The Green Emperor proudly presented the white jade belt, acting like he was offering a priceless treasure.
