A Final Dazzle
Before he'd even finished speaking, Hua Hai stomped down hard into the air. The space beneath his feet instantly collapsed, and his body shot forward.
Jiangchen stood off in the distance, his expression solemn. He crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Boom!
He retreated explosively.
Jiangchen slid several hundred meters through the air before he managed to stop himself from retreating. His expression was solemn.
Just now, he could have dodged, but he was curious as to just how much the rose had increased Hua Hai's strength. That was why he'd chosen to take the blow head-on.
It'd actually forced him back a hundred meters. He was somewhat surprised.
Judging from the fluctuations of energy within Hua Hai's body, he was probably only as strong as a peak immortal king. However, his physical strength was far greater than that of an ordinary immortal king.
Interesting.
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, even though this attack had caught him by surprise.
But now, he had a rough idea.
"That's all you've got?"
Jiangchen shook his somewhat numb arms, then flapped his wings and flew back to Hua Hai. Hua Hai stood in the air, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Is that so?"
He attacked brazenly.
Hua Hai didn't waste any more words with Jiangchen. He knew full well that his time was limited. However, this time, Jiangchen didn't use his arms to defend. Instead, he met the attack head-on.
Boom! Boom!
Endless booms filled the air.
Bang!
As they fought, Hua Hai's internal organs shattered, one after the other.
The rose's blossoming was magnificent, but beneath its appearance, Hua Hai's internal organs were withering away.
His kidneys!
His liver!
His organs shattered, but the pain he felt stimulated Hua Hai's fiery desire to fight.
"Tch tch, to think he could fight Jiangchen so fiercely. This demon is quite something."
Off in the distance, Ye Zichen and Gu Li were already at daggers drawn, but as soon as Hua Hai's rose blossomed, Gu Li deliberately changed the subject. Just as they were about to attack, they ceased their attacks.
"It's nothing."
Black Dragon couldn't help but snort. At their level, there was no way they couldn't see the price Hua Hai had paid for his sudden increase in strength.
"In the end, a short-lived flower is only a short-lived flower. Right now, he's only radiating his last remnants. When the heat dissipated, all that was left was a skeleton. In comparison, the Zombie Progenitors under your command are quite strong. They're not at a disadvantage even against peak immortal kings. Gu Li, well played. "
Gu Li naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Black Dragon's words.
"You flatter me."
Gu Li cupped his hands respectfully at Black Dragon, then his gaze landed on Ye Zichen. "Emperor Ye, you're definitely heading over to help, right? Unfortunately, Black Dragon and I definitely won't let you leave. Actually, it's not bad to stay here for a while. Isn't it boring to fight and kill? "
He ignored her.
Little did they know, after calming down, Ye Zichen really didn't dare go back. He knew full well that Gu Li and Black Dragon wouldn't let him leave. Even if he went to help, the two of them would definitely make a move.
In comparison, it wasn't a loss for him to stay here and stop the two of them.
What he needed to do now was gather enough spiritual power to heal his arm. So long as Gu Li and Black Dragon gave him the slightest chance …..
Give them a fatal blow.
Gu Li knew he'd made a fool of himself. He shrugged, then turned his gaze back to Hua Hai and Jiangchen.
He was quite interested in the fight between the two of them, especially …
Against the still-blooming, towering black rose.
Boom!
After an intense collision, Jiangchen and Hua Hai separated.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted me to use my body to remember your brilliance? I'm really sorry, but forgive me for saying this, I really can't remember such a method! "
Jiangchen smiled casually. In truth, his situation wasn't as relaxed as he seemed.
However, he knew that his opponent was in even worse shape than he was.
Hua Hai's body was drenched in sweat. The moment his lungs had shattered, he'd lost the ability to breathe.
It was unbearable.
He wanted to stretch his neck to feel the air, but it was impossible.
Sensing Jiangchen's sneer, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his face.
No wonder the Zombie Progenitors were so powerful that even the Beast Region's Great Sages couldn't defeat them. They were already at the peak of the immortal king level, yet Jiangchen wasn't at a disadvantage in the slightest.
Moreover, with the backlash from his shattered internal organs, there was a faint sense of oppression.
"Looks like I'll have to take that step after all."
Hua Hai raised his head. His bloodshot eyes stared at the black rose that was tens of thousands of feet tall. Then he reached out and placed his hand on his chest, feeling the powerful beating of his heart.
"Bloom ….."
For some reason, Hua Hai couldn't bring himself to say it.
Although this was his first time using this forbidden technique, Hua Hai knew full well that the previous blooms were just an appetizer. Even if the first four bloomed, he'd still have a way out.
But if the fifth rose bloomed, he'd have no way out.
He hesitated.
Anyone would feel fear in the face of death, even those on the brink of despair.
Especially when facing death.
He knew he'd die, yet he'd still do it. That was even more terrifying.
For a long while, he couldn't bring himself to say the final bloom.
Slap.
Up in the sky, Hua Hai inexplicably slapped himself in the face.
"What the hell are you doing?" Roared Hua Hai inwardly. "Didn't you prepare beforehand? Why are you retreating now? What the hell are you doing?!"
He clenched his fists, angrily berating the weakness in his heart.
Beneath his feet, the trapped cultivators were still fighting fiercely, bathed in blood. Then he saw Li Jiayi and the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Gate …..
Even if their swords and blades were blunt, even if their spiritual power was exhausted, even if they knew they were about to die ….
Still, they fought without a care for their own safety.
"Hua Hai, oh, Hua Hai, are you no match for the disciples of your sect?!"
Hua Hai roared inwardly. Suddenly, he heard Jiangchen's mocking laugh.
"What, scared?"
It was just a simple sneer, but it fiercely hit his heart.
Creak.
He gritted his teeth, then looked up at the towering rose in the sky. Determination flashed through his eyes.
Since he'd chosen this path, he had to grit his teeth and continue.
Retreat.
He couldn't do it!
"Heh ….. It seems you've made up your mind? Then let's hurry up. I also want to see the last rose and see what kind of monster it is! "
"If you want it, I'll satisfy you!"
As his voice faded, Hua Hai roared at the rose.
