1183 Unable to Land a Single Hit
'Fuck! No matter how much I try, I cannot reach him with my spear! Just how is he that strong at that cultivation level?!' Xi Murong cursed inwardly, feeling more and more frustrated every time Yuan dodged his strike.
[Dragon Shockwave!]
Xi Murong's spear trembled slightly as it glowed a subtle red light. Its wielder then aimed it at Yuan's body, and the illusion of a golden dragon suddenly appeared behind Xi Murong.
Seeing this, Yuan used the tip of his sword to block the spear, but it didn't block the impact, and he could feel a strong force enter his body, threatening to blow up his body from the insides, but it was only able to vibrate his bones slightly.
'H-He withstood the shockwave? What's his body made of?' Xi Murong was in disbelief, as Dragon Shockwave specializes in internal damage.
"Is this all you've got?" Yuan suddenly said. "Why don't you transform already? I want to see it."
"I don't need to transform to deal with you!" Xi Murong gritted his teeth, becoming more aggressive in his attacks.
Unfortunately, no matter how passionate he felt, he was still unable to land a single hit on Yuan.
In the end, Xi Murong decided to toss away his pride to transform. Golden scales began covering his body, and he grew a thick tail. His aura grew exponentially, and his cultivation even increased by three levels, reaching the peak of Spirit Emperor.
"That's more like it." An excited smile appeared on Yuan's face.
Once he was prepared, Xi Murong struck again. His spear flew at the speed of light, leaving a golden trail of light behind.
Whoosh!
'Whoa!'
Yuan cried inwardly as he narrowly dodged the strike.
Xi Murong's speed had surpassed his expectation.
Seeing this, Yuan no longer held back and started fighting Xi Murong more seriously.
The two of them would exchange hundreds of strikes with each other in just a few minutes.
Even though Xi Murong managed to make Yuan fight seriously, it was clear to everyone watching that he was still unable to defeat Yuan.
"Unbelievable… He's actually holding on against Xi Murong in his transformed state." Xi Meili muttered in an amazed voice.
"He's doing more than that. Xi Murong still cannot land a hit despite transforming. The gap in their strength is too much. Xi Murong won't defeat him." Xi Shengmo shook his head.
"Seeing them fight like this is also making my blood boil." Xi Mingze said with a slight smile on her face.
"You want to fight a human who's only a Spirit King? Never thought I'd hear such a thing from you." Xi Shengmo said to her without taking his eyes off the stage.
"Only a Spirit King? How can you say that after seeing his strength? He's obviously more than just a Spirit King— perhaps even more than just a human, as well." Xi Mingze sighed.
"..." Xi Shengmo became speechless.
Sometime later, Xi Murong fell on his knees with Yuan's sword penetrating his chest and a look of disbelief on his face.
