Chapter 1409: Chapter 144 Trouble in the Little Village_5
Ah Dai and the man in green both stopped, gazing intently at each other. In their second clash just now, Ah Dai’s transformation into solid state energy had displayed tremendous power, completely blocking the man in green’s fierce attack and reversing the disadvantage he had earlier.
The man in green burst into loud laughter: "Good, good, good, it has been a long time since I have felt so thrilled. Boy, continue, let me see what else you’re capable of." His voice was no longer hoarse, and it sounded somewhat familiar to Ah Dai, but before he could confirm the identity, a huge, seemingly irresistible pressure emanated from the man in green.
Ah Dai’s heart went cold as he spurred all the energy of the Golden Body within his Dantian. The protective layer of white True Qi vanished, completely condensed and transformed into blue solid state energy, forming a more robust protective aura. He told himself that he must not lose to the person before him. I am the strongest, stronger than anyone else. The stimulation of his competitive spirit made Ah Dai’s blood boil. The imposing aura that he had shown when facing the Overlord Mercenary Group was once again unleashed without reservation, repelling the invisible pressure from the man in green entirely. The spiritual realms of the two clashed in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The man in green shuffled his feet, and the green Battle Aura protecting him suddenly slid downwards. Ah Dai clearly felt the oncoming pressure also slip, nearly dissipating his own momentum. He quickly reacted, retracting his released aura and internalizing it, adjusting the True Qi of the ninth Realm within him to its optimal state, ready to face the man in green’s assault at any moment.
The green Battle Aura emitted by the man in green gradually condensed at his feet, eventually taking the shape of a lotus flower. In Ah Dai’s eyes, the man in green seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, perfectly flawless. Ah Dai knew that he could not allow his opponent to continue gathering strength, as it would become even harder to deal with. With that thought, he narrowed his eyes and controlled his transformed energy with his mind. The blue solid Battle Aura turned into thousands of strands, pouring out under Ah Dai’s control, flying towards the man in green. This was the Tian Luo Web variation that Ah Dai had devised on his own, the same one he used to kill the Imperial Soldiers of the Empire of Sunset City earlier. Each strand of solid Battle Aura carried intense penetrating power, sealing off all directions of escape for the man in green.
The Energy Lotus the man in green was forming had already taken basic shape. He let out a loud shout, "Chi—" Seven green lotus petals flew up, advancing towards the myriad strands of transformed energy to meet them. Ah Dai snorted coldly, as his mind willed it, the solid Battle Aura strands suddenly dispersed, bypassing the incoming seven lotus petals and still aiming for the man in green himself. Just as Ah Dai thought he was about to trap his opponent, the man in green shouted again, his hands rapidly firing off, shooting seven streams of Battle Aura that struck the seven lotus petals. The petals burst into intense light, converging towards a single point in the sky under the force of the Battle Aura. Blinded and almost deafened by the sound, Ah Dai watched as the apparently unremarkable seven lotus petals collided, releasing destructive energy. A massive Battle Aura shockwave shattered Ah Dai’s dispersed transformed Battle Aura strands. Caught in the pull of the shockwave, Ah Dai’s body shook violently, and he rapidly retreated, throwing two punches to dissolve the violent impact. After the shockwave, a green energy sphere formed in mid-air, the energy contained within it surprising Ah Dai. Was this the power of the seven lotus petals?
The man in green shouted: "Taste my Seven-Leaf Lotus Heart." With a sweeping motion of his hands, he lightly slapped at the orb in front of him, sending it in a graceful arc. Like a green comet, it hurtled towards Ah Dai, leaving behind a dazzling trail. Faced with such an immense energy, Ah Dai dared not be careless, summoning an Energy Sword of five feet long in his hand. The pale blue energy sword turned pale purple under Ah Dai’s full power. He gripped the hilt with both hands, raised it above his head, and with a loud cry, brought it down sharply towards the oncoming energy sphere. A tearing sound filled the air, and to the shock of the man in green, who had great confidence in his energy sphere, the purple Energy Sword split the concentrated explosion of green energy in two as it passed, causing two semi-circles to fall onto the distant ground, where they exploded into two huge pits thirty meters wide with a thunderous roar. What surprised the man in green the most was that Ah Dai’s figure had vanished after the energy sphere was cleaved.
