Chapter 301: Last Resort
"Full Elements Released. Fortification."
Suddenly, Spiritual Energy erupted from the Mountain Master’s body. The Spiritual Energy formed four elements around him: Fire, Water, Lightning, and Wind.
However, amidst his Spiritual Energy, there was a tinge of red energy that didn’t come from the fire element.
And Xiang Ba noticed it.
"Hahahahaha!" Xiang Ba laughed out loud. This might be the biggest news he had seen this whole time. He couldn’t help but raise his voice. "To think you would burn your own lifespan to enhance your power... you will be severely weakened in the next few years if you use that technique.
"Look at him, you bastard dog! You are useless. In the end, you force your own sect master to sacrifice his own life. No matter how powerful you will become, you will end up becoming a problem to someone else!"
Xiang Ba was happy and kept taunting Albert.
The Mountain Master was still unable to control the surge of strength. So, Xiang Ba’s mouth was stopped by multiple bonk bats that fell on top of him.
Though, Xiang Ba kept running his mouth while avoiding all these bats.
"Without him, you won’t be able to do anything to me." Xiang Ba laughed.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
A series of explosions occurred on the ground. The explosion came from a different element, depending on the bonk bat that hit the ground.
However, Xiang Ba was one step ahead. Before the bonk even hit the ground, he had jumped in another direction, avoiding the blast.
The other bats also fell, but not a single of them hit him.
He looked like he could do this all day long.
Still, the situation might not be as great as it appeared. Xiang Ba was utilizing his own lust to increase his speed.
He knew that the Mountain Master had activated the element in his body. So, if he didn’t do the same, the Mountain Master would surely defeat him when he started chasing after him.
That was why while avoiding the bonk bats, Xiang Ba gradually increased his own strength through forbidden technique.
When he was about to avoid the thirteen bonk bats, a lightning strike suddenly hit the ground in the direction where was supposed to go.
"Ha—!" Xiang Ba was startled for a split second, trying to use his Spiritual Energy to protect him.
*Boom!*
The lightning strike hit the ground and released all the lightning into the surrounding area. The force stopped Xiang Ba’s momentum and even slightly pushed him back.
Seeing the power alone was enough for Xiang Ba to know who sent the attack.
Xiang Ba raised his head with a smirk. "So, you have controlled that raging power."
In the sky, the Mountain Master looked down on Xiang Ba with an emotionless face. He seemed to have gained enough power that he could treat Xiang Ba as an ant.
The raging Spiritual Energy that came from all four elements had also settled down.
With just a wave of his hand, two elements combined together. The lightning and the wind fused and fell forth.
Xiang Ba clicked his tongue. He hadn’t fully activated his own forbidden technique, so his strength was a bit lower than the Mountain Master.
He jumped to the side to avoid the lightning strike, but when it touched the ground, the wind burst out, spreading the lightning.
"!!!" Xiang Ba raised his right arm, trying to block the shock wave that contained the lightning. However, the lightning was truly extraordinary. Even his arm felt a bit numb.
However, Xiang Ba was surprised by the appearance of a bonk bat next to him. This time, the bonk bat used an element that Albert had never used before. It was a Space Element Bonk Bat.
The bonk bat teleported next to Xiang Ba. And because the lightning force pushed him back in the bonk’s direction, Xiang Ba ended up crashing into the bat.
"No!" Xiang Ba gritted his teeth. The bonk force was generated, launching Xiang Ba back.
Meanwhile, the lightning force still pushed him from the opposite direction. Xiang Ba felt like he was being crushed from both sides. But because the bonk continuously generated its power, Xiang Ba’s body ended up breaking through the lightning force, albeit with severe burn marks on his arm.
"Kh." Xiang Ba clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the pain in his arm. He raised his head, glaring at them.
He had fully manifested the power of the forbidden technique. So, a situation like this wouldn’t happen as easily anymore.
Still, Xiang Ba was already covered in injuries. There were even some inner injuries.
’As expected, I can’t escape death in this situation. But since that dog is easy to manipulate... I will cause some injuries on their sect master and ruin the future of that dog by making him utilize more power.’ Xiang Ba had made a decision.
The desperation in his body had disappeared because he had come to terms with his death. And there was a goal that he had to achieve before dying.
If he managed to do it, he was sure that the other sects would do their best to deal with the Mountain Master. So, the Five Elements Mountain wouldn’t be peaceful even if they managed to destroy the sect.
Meanwhile, the Mountain Master glanced at Albert. After activating the secret technique, he boosted his power to the limit.
It lasted for a while, but he knew there would be a lot of problems in the near future. However, protecting a genius like him should be worth it.
So, he said, "You should stay in the rear. I can kill Xiang Ba by myself."
Albert frowned before shaking his head. "I’m afraid I have to refuse. I’ll do anything to kill that guy as quickly as possible."
The Mountain Master could only sigh, expecting that answer. That was why there was only one thing he had to do.
He had to finish this battle as quickly as possible so that Albert didn’t use too much of his power that would damage his foundation.
The Mountain Master and Xiang Ba looked at each other. Both of them knew that these would be the last few rounds they would fight each other. In less than five minutes, they had to decide the winner.
