"Daddy!"
Amidst the peach blossoms that covered the mountains and plains, the little boy looked toward the top of the mountain and saw a long-haired man sitting on a stone bench in a pavilion at the top of the mountain. The woman in his arms had her eyes closed, and she had a peaceful expression on her face as if she was in a deep sleep.
"Daddy! Mummy! Look! I … "
"Shh!" The man raised an index finger to his lips and said, "Hao 'er, keep your voice down. Let your mother have a good sleep."
At the next moment, as the man spread out his long sleeves, the little boy felt as if he was in the clouds. The scenery around him was rapidly retreating, and there was a myriad of colors. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned to the foot of the mountain.
Raising his head, he saw that the peach blossoms on the mountain were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Unbeknownst to him, it had started to snow.
Then, a sigh rang out between heaven and earth. Time seemed to have sped up. Snow covered the entire mountain in an instant. The peach blossoms withered, leaving only bare branches. The entire mountain was covered in snow.
The little boy stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling that the whole mountain looked lonely and desolate.
…
All the Immortals and Deities in the Exalted Major frowned or looked displeased when they saw Xiang Haochu's technique. They seemed to be dissatisfied with Xiang Haochu's display of the Ninth Heaven's Devil Sweeping Thunder.
Immortal Ming Yue said lightly, "The Demon-Buster Marshal actually imparted the Nine-Heavens Demon-Buster Thunder Art to Xiang Haochu. Isn't that too childish?"
True Lord Greed nodded. "I'll report this matter to the higher-ups. Once the Exalted Heaven's Dao Discourse is over, the Celestial Court will definitely deal with Xiang Haochu."
Tu Guishen: "It seems that Xiang Tiandi is still holding a grudge over what happened before. Is it really okay for him to be the Thunder Department's Marshal like this? "
Xiang Tiandi was the Thunder Division's Demon-Buster Marshal's real name. Hearing Tu Guishen call him by his name and bring up the past, no one present spoke.
Only the Thunder Department's Perfected Lord Zi Yang still had to defend his superior. He said, "We will handle the Thunder Department's matters internally. Marshal Xiang must have his reasons for passing down the Ninth Heaven Devil Sweeping Thunder Technique."
Tu Gui Shen sneered, "What other reason could there be? He was just lusting after mortals. I will report this matter to the Celestial Venerable. Thunder Division, you better prepare an explanation. "
Although in terms of strength and status, most of the upright gods of the Celestial Court were stronger than the immortals of the Island of Immortals.
However, Tu Gui Shen was the leader of the Thirty-six Itinerant Immortals of Myriad Island of Immortals. He was the Son of Destiny from hundreds of years ago. After attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Ordinary righteous gods of the Celestial Court could not suppress him. He could even talk to the leaders of the four departments as equals.
Thus, Perfected Lord Zi Yang chose to remain silent. Perhaps he was also dissatisfied with Xiang Tiandi's actions.
…
When Zhao Yue heard True Monarch Greed's son, Shen Hai's words, she was slightly surprised.
"Ninth Heaven Devil Sweeping Thunder Spell? The Demon-Buster Marshal's secret technique? "Zhao Yue asked," How did Xiang Haochu learn it? "
In the Thunder Clan, or rather, in the four departments of the Celestial Court, the righteous gods who stood at the peak each grasped different absolute arts. Some of them were known as the Dao Techniques that no one else could learn other than themselves.
Every technique that was not passed down was either earth-shattering in power or had some sort of miraculous effect.
Shi Fa, Jue Ji and the others all looked over as their anticipation for this battle rose to the extreme.
Zhao Yue: "This battle is going to be interesting. If it really is the Ninth Heaven Devil Sweeping Thunder Spell, combined with the Thunder Blade, I'm afraid it can break through the armor of the Ninth Realm. "
In the Great Luo Tian Time and Space, the Thunder Blade in Xiang Haochu's hand flickered with tens of thousands of feet of lightning as he slowly transmitted his voice to Zhou Bai:
"Or rather, if you really want to get first place in the Dao Discussion, you have to at least defeat the Thunder Blade in my hand. If you can't even defeat me, then you don't have the qualifications to get first place in the Dao Discussion. You should go back and accumulate your strength, and wait for the opportunity in the future."
"Zhou Bai, you're still young. You have plenty of opportunities, there's no need to be in such a hurry."
Hearing Xiang Haochu's words, Zhou Bai laughed, with a thought, he had already summoned his Great Scarlet Heaven Armour.
The reddish-gold flames started to spread out from the red fire seal between his brows. In the blink of an eye, they had enveloped his entire body, turning into a set of tight-fitting crimson red armor. It was like a layer of artificial bones and muscles, tightly wrapping around Zhou Bai's body.
In his sea of consciousness, Cristina was lying at the side, squinting her eyes as she watched the situation at the scene, as if she was watching a performance.
As she watched, she said, "Ai Sha, learn well and remember well. Don't miss a single word. I'll test you after the competition."
Ai Sha frowned at the side with a bitter face, holding a pen and paper to record the situation at the scene: "Why do you have to record this!"
Cristina said, "It's only when you learn how to put on an act that the powers you've cultivated can be put to good use. Do you understand?!"
After Zhou Bai put on the Great Scarlet Heaven Armour, the defensive range of Lying Like the Sea also extended to the armour.
At the same time, Zhou Bai extended his hand and waved, grabbing the Cold Light Glacier Sword. The defensive range of Lying Like the Sea then extended to the armour.
Fang Xingjian looked at Xiang Haochu, who was like a Thunder God who had descended into the world, and listened to his words. Fang Xingjian smiled and said, "Xiang Haochu, what you said is very good, but it's meaningless.
"That's because you've got one thing wrong, the most basic thing, and that is …"
Boom!
Amidst the billowing flames, Zhou Bai was instantly pushed up to Xiang Haochu by the Great Scarlet Heaven Armour's powerful force.
Xiang Haochu, who was surrounded by lightning, felt his heart tremble, and the Thunder Blade in his hand instinctively slashed out toward Zhou Bai.
Having practiced slashing down with his blade for several hundred thousand or even several million times, this action had become instinctive to Xiang Haochu. As he slashed down with his blade, his action was even before he could think.
Swoosh! Bolts of purple lightning appeared on the Thunder Blade's body, like many violent lightning dragons.
With Xiang Haochu's body as the center, the area within a radius of 100 meters was filled with bolts of purple lightning, and the air was filled with a burning smell.
The Thunder Blade in his hand was like a bolt of purple lightning, piercing through the air at a speed that surpassed the limits of human observation. With a swoosh, it slashed down on Zhou Bai's body.
After slashing down with the blade, Xiang Haochu saw that Zhou Bai did not react at all. He was shocked, 'Oh no, the speed of this blade is too fast! He can't block it in time! '
It was a pity that the distance was too close, and the speed at which Xiang Haochu slashed his blade was faster than his thoughts.
By the time he realized this, countless bolts of purple lightning had already landed on Zhou Bai's body along with the Thunder Blade.
Boom! With a muffled sound of thunder, the lightning dragons in the air directly penetrated Zhou Bai's body, and the Thunder Blade slashed down fiercely on Zhou Bai's neck with bolts of jumping lightning.
However, what happened next shocked Xiang Haochu. As the blade slashed down, purple lightning bolts kept jumping across the surface of the Great Crimson Heaven Armor. However, the Great Crimson Heaven Armor was not damaged in the slightest and Zhou Bai's body was completely unscathed.
With this slash, Xiang Haochu felt as if he had slashed his blade at the sea. Apart from the recoil force that was like waves in the sky, Zhou Bai's body was like the sea that had calmed down and was not damaged at all.
Swoosh! Sensing that something was wrong, Xiang Haochu immediately withdrew his blade and retreated rapidly. With a flash of lightning, he had already appeared 100 meters away. He looked at Zhou Bai in front of him with a serious expression.
As for Zhou Bai, it was as if nothing had happened. He continued to say, "… You're mistaken about one thing, the most basic thing. That is, my strength far exceeds yours, even beyond my own imagination."
"To be honest, even I don't know how strong I am right now."
