Chapter 361: Chapter 116 Battle Zun Long

Overnight, Zun Long hadn’t shown up, but Lu Hong wasn’t in a hurry. In a battle of life and death, one must maintain a steady mindset, not be led by the nose, guessing when the opponent would arrive and thus unsettling oneself. Even though Zun Long was a top-tier combatant of the Eagle Alliance, Lu Hong was confident in facing him in battle!

"I’ll say, boss, I’m really impressed with you," the Holy King howled within the bronze giant sword all night long. Ever since the day the two agreed, the Holy King’s complaints had never ceased, but since he was a Soul Body, he hardly needed to rest.

"Can you stop making noise? Keep it up and I’ll bury you in the ground."

Under the coercion of Lu Hong’s tyranny, the Holy King’s murmurs grew ever quieter, "You, a Second Transition expert, why do you provoke a Third Transition Peak warrior? Isn’t this seeking death?"

"Do you think avoiding fighting Zun Long will make him spare me?" Lu Hong chuckled, "In the Seven Floating Realms, he might hesitate to attack directly, but it’s not impossible."

"I know, but you could go to the Holy Court, find your lover..."

Feeling the sudden fierceness in Lu Hong’s aura, the Holy King got scared and did not dare to speak further. His spiritual eyes swept the sky, and Zun Long’s figure suddenly appeared in the rising red sun.

"He’s here." Lu Hong stood up, his hand gripping the Blood Holy Sword, a night’s gathering of force, suddenly burst forth, gradually staining the sky a shade of blood.

Zun Long stepped through the air, indifferently observing the deep blood-red behind Lu Hong.

"Baron Yitian," Zun Long began, "I’ve long heard of your renown, but it’s unfortunate you haven’t stepped into the Third Transition. I admit, were you to rise among the strong, I might even fear you a little. But now, you’re not qualified enough."

"Is that so?" Lu Hong chuckled, tightening his grip on the Blood Holy Sword, "Then let’s battle!"

Before his words fell, the skill Blood Transverse Sky tore the heavens apart, and a Blood River surged.

Zun Long raised his index finger, slightly pointing at the Blood River before him, "Space—Collapse!"

Space Grand Mage!

A black singularity appeared above the Blood River, expanding continuously like a black abyss, swallowing the entire Blood River.

Lu Hong frowned, hastily withdrew his skill, the power of his blood and energy was sucked into Zun Long’s black hole, severing his connection with it. Continuing would have just wasted his Magic Power uselessly.

Zun Long wasn’t in a hurry to attack; he asked with interest, "What other tricks do you have? Show them all."

Being a Space Grand Mage, Zun Long already held an esteemed position among magical vocations. Lu Hong, as a close-combat fighter, was hardly able to get close to him; attacking was unlikely to be effective.

"Hey, old man, your profession is quite despicable!" Lu Hong decided not to take the initiative. Dealing with a Space Mage was difficult, the best strategy was to wait, wait for one mistake from the opponent.

Zun Long smiled; he understood Lu Hong’s strategies all too well, "Alright, since that’s the case, it’s my turn to attack!"

With those words, a Magic Wand appeared in his hand, swinging it down towards Lu Hong.

"Great—Space Ripping Technique!"

As Zun Long took action, a sudden sense of mortal danger surged in Lu Hong’s heart. He explosively moved, instantaneously avoiding to a location a hundred meters away, while at his original standing spot, space twisted, then shattered into pieces, revealing chaotic void.

"Quick response," Zun Long’s voice suddenly appeared behind Lu Hong.

Lu Hong turned and swung his sword, but Zun Long easily blocked it and followed with a Space Iron Fist, hitting hard on his back and sending Lu Hong flying hundreds of meters away.

"You have strong defenses." Zun Long was very precise in assessing his attack; although Lu Hong spit blood, the damage wasn’t very deep.

Finishing his words, Zun Long pursued right away, utilizing the ability of Space Jump, wielding the Magic Wand, hammering Lu Hong from the sky down to the ground, then from the ground into the sky again.

The Holy King inside the bronze giant sword watched anxiously, not caring whether Lu Hong called out or not, he activated the Immaculate Holy Light to its utmost.

In a flash, dazzling Holy Light burst from the Space Ring, like a blade cutting through the sky.

Zun Long’s expression turned cold, "So this is the magic item that defeated my disciple?" As he swung his Magic Wand, white Space Magic Power surged wildly, transforming into a cage, pressing down the released Holy Light, continuously shrinking, until it was all sealed inside the ring.

"I’ll see what else you have." Zun Long didn’t seem to want to kill Lu Hong immediately, but rather wanted to force out all his techniques.

"As you wish!" The Holy King bought Lu Hong a chance to catch his breath, and Lu Hong seized it, having switched to the War Holy Sword, its power now fully gathered!

Zun Long felt the immense power about to be unleashed from the Holy Sword, his pupils shrinking slightly, thus he created a protective barrier.

But the next second, the utmost flash cut across the sky, aiming to split everything before it in two.

Unfortunately, this attempt ended in failure; Zun Long used spatial folding to completely block the power of the utmost flash.

"Is this your killer move? Very well, very strong. But unfortunately, you still can’t kill me." Zun Long’s expression shifted slightly, this killer move, if he weren’t a Space Grand Mage, might not have left him half-dead.

"Hey, just wait, I still have more!" Lu Hong switched back to the Blood Holy Sword, its form now unusually transformed, like flowing blood, continuously devouring.

The originally clear sky darkened under the influence of the Blood Holy Sword, a ferocious beast’s fangs piercing the roiling blood clouds.

This was Lu Hong’s first use of the Blood Holy Sword’s ultimate move. As it was his professional skill, besides the power condensed by the Holy Sword itself, Lu Hong had also invested all his blood, amplifying the power of this skill by several times.

When the fangs appeared, Zun Long’s heart clenched, his blood seemingly ablaze, madly rushing through his veins, seeking to escape his body and merge with the beast in the sky.

"Space sealed!" Zun Long, seasoned in battle, naturally knew how to defend himself. Layers of space folded around him, making the distances that seemed mere inches actually span thousands of miles, minimizing the beast’s attraction to his blood.

Clearly, this move greatly displeased the beast, which let out a heaven-shaking roar within the blood clouds, shaking the entire plane.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Zun Long was incredibly shocked and gained a new level of recognition for Lu Hong.

"Exterminate—"

Lu Hong shouted lowly, his vital energy transforming into ripples that spread around him.

"—Heaven!"

With a loud cry, the beast collapsed, transforming into a blood-colored sword. Lu Hong then leaped into the sky, holding the blood sword, and ferociously slashed down towards Zun Long.

"Secret technique!" Facing the blood sword, even with thousands of miles of spatial layers protecting him, the crisis of life and death lingered in his heart. Zun Long knew that if he didn’t do something, relying solely on this self-sealing move, he would likely die!

"An inch— a world apart!"

This was the space secret technique Zun Long had comprehended. Though it was not as sophisticated as Vili’s, when used for defense, it was extremely effective.

The Inch-World Apart technique, as the name implies, allowed Zun Long to infinitely shorten the distance between him and his opponent, enabling him to launch an attack across a giant plane. Conversely, it could also infinitely extend the distance, making it seem as if one had to cross the length of a plane even if they were right in front of him.

This ability made it nearly impossible for Zun Long to be killed. However, it was also the reason he had not yet been nominated as the fourth protector of the Alliance—it was merely a supportive skill, not very powerful.

As the blood sword swung, the sky changed colors. The color of blood red became the sole hue dominating Zun Long’s vision.

The point of the blood sword was right in front of Zun Long, but unfortunately, protected by the Inch-World Apart secret technique, no matter how hard Lu Hong tried, he couldn’t touch Zun Long.

"You still can’t defeat me!" Seeing this, Zun Long was greatly relieved, thinking that once this move ended, he would definitely capture Lu Hong and stop all this nonsense. If the opponent had any hidden trump cards, there was still a real possibility of him turning the tables.

Why would a Second Transition expert possess such powerful skills? Could it be his weapon? Pondering, Zun Long’s gaze fixed on the Holy Sword hovering behind Lu Hong. It indeed seemed extraordinary, but... it appeared to have nothing special.

A Holy Sword, after all, is not something ordinary people can see through.

Lu Hong, holding the sword, stared intensely at Zun Long, knowing from his contemplative expression that his waited opportunity was finally arriving.

"Heavenly God! Descend!"

In an instant, the blood-colored heaven and earth split open with a divine light. Lu Hong’s figure grew without wind, and as the divine pattern appeared, the assault of the blood sword became even more violent.

Space skills, right?

Watch how my divine light magic immunity erases it!

Lu Hong stretched out his arm through the spatial barrier Zun Long had set up, reaching toward his collar.

With this grab, Zun Long panicked and immediately performed a Space Jump.

But Lu Hong held on tight, the divine light shining, dissolving the spatial barriers set by the opponent.

The blood sword, hanging in mid-air, finally fell.

This sword stroke bisected the minor plane in two. Even the Seven Floating Worlds felt the power of this strike, emitting a slight vibration.

Anna stared blankly at the streak of anomaly in the sky, her heart tightening.

Qing Ling and Jin Fu were having breakfast, ignoring the disturbances outside, neither looking nor speaking.

Jenaxi lifted his head from his desk, his eyes catching the fleeting red glow outside the window, his brows slightly furrowed.

Duke Xin Lei set down her morning tea, sending people to search for Zun Long’s whereabouts.

And Duke Nuoshan let out a sigh, shaking his head, lost in thought about something.

Duke Chen Hui, least informed, ordered an investigation into the matter.

As for Lei Shan... well... he was still asleep, having a lazy morning.
