Chapter 495: 249 Collisions

"Roar!!!"

A fist swung out ferociously, and a massive and sinister lava dragon head overlapped with his punch, instantly spewing out a terrifying and scorching red-hot glow from its mouth.

This move was astonishingly powerful, sweeping across all directions.

The exaggerated strength struck towards Bai Xiao, the energy fluctuations expanding outward in a fan shape.

Visibly, a slightly dark scorched patch appeared on the ground, expanding toward both sides and the distance. The unpleasant smell of rubber carried a hint of poison.

From afar, Bai Xiao’s eyes brightened, yet showed no sign of panic.

He suddenly stepped forward, his aura bursting forth as he thrust out his right hand, assuming a posture as if grasping an invisible sphere.

With a twist of his wrist, it turned clockwise, ending with his palm facing up.

A gentle fake lift!

"Third Transformation, Water Sky Form!"

Immediately, springs surged and earth shook as if an unstoppable invisible torrent burst forth around Bai Xiao, transforming into towering blue waves that came crashing down. Packed with tremendous momentum, they slammed towards the dragon shadow ahead.

"Boom!!!"

Water and fire exploded, the invisible water blasted open, and the red-hot lava cooled rapidly.

Yet, it was still visible that at the moment the Third Transformation Dragon Breath collided with Water Sky Form, there appeared signs of fusion. Within the invisible water stream, strands of cottony black-red networks intermingled, just like a blush of blood vessels.

"Hiss..."

The force of the clash trembled and the arena shook violently.

A fiery red figure, bracing against the shockwave with clothes rippling like waves, still managed to take a step forward and punch!

A gigantic hand reached out and caught it fiercely, the air bursting with a loud bang.

In the center of the arena, the core of the battle.

Two figures froze, clashing fists and palms resonating with a clang. Occasionally, golden-red sparks erupted from their palms, like blazing steel.

Hao Lie’s gaze was piercingly sharp as he fixed it onto Bai Xiao’s face.

"That move just now wasn’t bad..."

"It’s only a little worse than the Third Transformation Dragon Breath."

"Pity, it’s still broken through by me!"

A few seconds earlier in that collision, Hao Lie actually gained a slight upper hand. The boxing technique he cultivated was an upright first-rank secret martial, powerful and forceful. However, the Fierce Bird Secret Technique’s first three transformations couldn’t compare to it.

It was only because Bai Xiao endowed Water Sky Form with an abundant and extreme spirit that he nearly matched the power of Dragon Breath.

Of course, the fourth and fifth transformations of Fierce Bird were a different story.

Assassination Fist’s incomplete technique of All Qi Evaporation seemed quite significant.

Listening to Hao Lie’s words, Bai Xiao didn’t react or retort. He felt he might have underestimated his opponent slightly; after all, Hao Lie was one of the Eastern Seven Stars, an inheritor of Dragon Bone. It would be somewhat disrespectful to use tactics like Water Sky Form, which were meant for overwhelming lesser fighters, against him. Though, Hao Lie had no idea he was being underestimated.

"Hehehe..."

Bai Xiao cracked a slight smile, his dark pupils locking eyes with Hao Lie’s.

"Then I’ll take it a bit more seriously."

The next second, Hao Lie threw a punch and leaped forward with Arrow Step, his arm transforming into a red afterimage that slashed upward like an axe cleaving through waves.

Ahead, a black-red hand with bulging veins covered down with majestic and magnificent momentum. It was as if a mountain range shifted sideways, heavy and suffocating.

"Boom!!!"

One high and one low, one heavy and one ferocious, both arms collided fiercely.

Hao Lie’s figure sank slightly, knees bent, and his center of gravity shifted downward. His feet involuntarily scraped out two half-meter-long black scorch marks on the ground.

Bai Xiao’s feet hovered an inch off the ground, as if stepping on thin air, pausing for a full second before all the collision force dissipated and he landed again.

"Tap! Tap!"

Almost simultaneously, both took steps forward, charging fiercely.

Both sides accelerated in unison, stretching out robust arms, their bodies becoming the most formidable combat weapons. Bang, bang, bang, a series of black and red afterimages exploded, creating shockwave-like wind marks and ripples around them. Two powerful beasts clashed fiercely at close range, their footsteps thundering on the arena as they fought intensively, leaving dense, profound footprints if viewed from a high angle.

"Where’s his Horizontal Training?"

Mid-fight, Hao Lie finally sensed something amiss. According to all previous records, Bai Xiao’s greatest strength was undoubtedly his terrifying physique and his Diamond Horizontal Training. Yet, from the start of their bout until now, at least after nearly a hundred moves, Bai Xiao’s Hard Skill had yet to appear.

Just techniques clashing, mutual attacks.

His eyes narrowed, a flash of penetration briefly scary.

"I must put more pressure on you..."

Hao Lie thought, and in the next instant, he dodged Bai Xiao’s rapid punch with a sidestep. Then, he sidled with a body check to push away the oncoming figure and swung a punch to momentarily repel his opponent. He took a deep breath, his feet assumed an attacking stance, spreading left and right, knees bending slightly.

One hand reached forward while the other pushed behind.

In an instant, his vigorous heart in his chest thumped like a drum, rapidly beating. Hao Lie’s breathing grew rapid, and veins in his eyes started to cluster, vaguely forming an unclear vortex.

"Releasing the killing intent?"

"He’s breaking the seal and getting serious!?"

"It seems that Hao Lie is under a lot of pressure."

From the stands, some insiders, especially the other Seven Stars, were quite surprised at the moment. The Dragon Bone Fist Hao Lie cultivated was extremely bloody and known as a Killing Fist—an Evil Technique without restraints, exceptionally brutal. Moreover, Hao Lie was a naturally gifted individual with an extremely compatible cold and indifferent killing heart.
