Chapter 64: Tornado of Anger and Fire
"Hao Tian is still a disciple of the Zhongyuan Dao Sect. That's why the Qi Condensation Spiritual Art that he uses should belong to the Zhongyuan Dao Scriptures. The spiritual power that the Zhongyuan Dao Scripture produces is sturdy and majestic.
"For now, I do not have any Qi Condensation Spiritual Art. In terms of spiritual power, I am roughly equivalent to the third tier of the Qi Condensation Realm. And in terms of physical power, I have at least five times that of his!"
In the battle to the death today, the Invincible Vajra Body would still be Wu Yu's greatest edge.
Under the gazes of thousands, Hao Tian and Wu Yu prepared to fight head on!
Hao Tian's own son had been killed. His eyes were extremely wild now.
"Quick, save me!"
Watching her own son hung, Yuan Xi was hysterical with fright. A pity that at this time, no one dared to go and save her. Those like Wu Yuanshuai had long run away.
As for Hao Tian, he was busy fighting Wu Yu, and had no time for her.
Wu Yu had chosen to kill only Yuan Hao, leaving Yuan Xi alive. He wanted her to see with her own eyes how the legendary Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian died!
"Wow!"
Both took to battle in the open plains before the imperial city, which led to general alarm from the crowd.
The people were so frightened that they continued to retreat.
"Wu Yu! Wu Yu!"
Many of the bolder ones were cheering for Wu Yu!
The strength of the crowd was also a type of strength!
"Impertinent! After Wu Yu dies in battle, all the commoners who cheered will be torn apart by five horses!" Yuan Xi screamed. But her voice was too insignificant and went unheard.
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian wielded his Firestorm Horsetail Whisk, his anger raging, his bloodthirst concentrated.
Wu Yu focused his spiritual power on the Demon Subduing Staff, increasing its power. Although he only had one spiritual source, he estimated that his attack power had already doubled from previously. 15,000 warhorses worth of power!
Each move he made shook the earth!
"My Zhongyuan Dao Sect follows the orthodox way of the dao. It was your misfortune to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect and learn their unorthodox ways!" Hao Tian was very arrogant.
"Hmph!"
Both used their immortal treasures to do battle. The silver snake horsetail whisk whipped into a flurry, coiling and twisting. At times it was like an iron whip, and at times it fell from the sky like a rain of needles. But Wu Yu blocked it each and every time!
"Hao Tian...."
Wu Yu's burning gaze was like the sun, and focused on Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian.
Even though Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian had lost a son, he was still quite calm. Now he had only one goal, which was to finish off Wu Yu. He could think of nothing else!
"Jade-based Fire!"
In a flash, he employed his dao technique, Jade-based Fire. He hovered in the skies and gave a cruel smirk. The Jade-based Fire on his fingertip was transferred to the Firestorm Horsetail Whisk. A mist began to roll in. The Firestorm Horsetail Whisk morphed into a huge, green serpent that swam through the clouds.
Although the citizens were a considerable distance away, they could still feel the fearsome heat.
"The skills of immortals are truly terrifying!"
"Prince Yu, you must defeat him!"
They punched their fists and mouthed words of support. All of them were cheering for Wu Yu's victory!
They could also feel the hatred that Wu Yu bore within him!
"Even though you’ve successfully condensed your qi, you're still small fry to me!
"Wu Yu, I've been cultivating for 153 years. You've been cultivating for one. Do you not understand the disparity between us!?
"Your folly today lies in your haste! Given your quality, in another few years, I would truly not be your match."
And now Hao Tian was cackling madly. He had confidence in his own dao experience.
Of course, all that he said resonated with their worries. It was also what Wu You, presently far away from Capital Wu, worried about!
"Really!?"
Wu Yu's silhouette continued to flash within the burning clouds. The beams of golden light prevented them from seeing him clearly.
"You dare to fight me with no knowledge of dao techniques? Fool!"
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian displayed his dao techniques, commanding the huge, green serpent to lunge towards Wu Yu, mouth wide open. Everything that it touched, be it palace or house, was burnt to ashes!
"Haha!" From the castle walls, Imperial Concubine Xi burst into laughter seeing Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian's awesome moves.
The people of Capital Wu started to panic.
Whoosh!
The huge, green serpent approached Wu Yu!
It seemed like Wu Yu would be swallowed by the fiery serpent. The crowd gasped in fear, but Wu Yu's expression was unperturbed. He gripped the Demon Subduing Staff in both hands, using his martial way spirit ascension to channel the power of heaven and earth through his body. Even the Demon Subduing Staff in his hands became an extension of his body. Spiritual power burst forth, causing his physical power to become even more dominating.
A Staff to Ascension!
That staff fell from above, crashing against the head of the green serpent!
Bang!
The green snake hissed in pain, and actually vanished before Wu Yu's eyes. It exploded into a rain of green fire, falling all around Wu Yu. His eyes glowed with the golden light of day. One man and one staff that shook the world!
"What tremendous strength!"
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian was surprised, and actually sucked a nervous breath.
However, he was still not dismayed. After all, Wu Yu still had no dao techniques. He retrieved the Firestorm Horsetail Whisk and again smiled arrogantly. "You have grit. But if you think you can finish me off just like that, you're too naive. Wu Yu, I'll let you feel for yourself what a true dao technique is!"
Hao Tian's voice shook the entire Capital Wu!
"Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian is so powerful...."
"Will Wu Yu crumble before him...."
"If he can keep up the resistance, that's fine. But Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian seems to be a more cunning fox. Prince Yu is too noble!"
"Prince Yu, don't die!"
Although everyone was praying, the intensity of the battle had surpassed their imagination. Compared to Wu Yu, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian's dao techniques seemed brilliant. The mortals could not comprehend it, but they felt that Wu Yu seemed completely suppressed by his opponent and was on the brink of defeat!
Yuan Xi, half dead and still tied at the castle walls, felt a sense of exhilaration that accompanied a near-death experience. Even though she had already been through a few episodes of incontinence, she continued to hurl insults at Wu Yu, her face twisted with savage pleasure.
"Master, smash him and avenge Yuan Hao!
"And that Wu You has nowhere to run to as well!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Along with Yuan Xi's insults, the palaces and houses began to crumble apart.
Huo!
Wu Yu leaped into the sky.
Immortal Ape Transformation!
Night had already fallen, but in this instant, he lit up Capital Wu like the sun. A blindingly intense light!
Many personally witnessed Wu Yu's body elongate, becoming bigger and more sturdy. He was a full seven feet tall, and close to three heads taller than Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian. At that moment, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian looked like a midget!
Golden fur covered his body, gleaming and sparkling with light.
The sauvastika on his back was even more startling!
This golden ape body, paired with the Demon Subduing Staff, gave him an explosive improvement in his abilities!
"Hao Tian!"
Wu Yu's eyes were like golden suns. In his eyes, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian was already burnt to a crisp!
"So what if you become a beast?"
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian taunted him. His own skills were not weak. From the start of the battle, he had caused much havoc for Wu Yu, and this had swelled his confidence.
"It's only right. Since you've come to seek death anew, I'll let you die in style!"
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian's laughter troubled the people of Capital Wu. They looked at the fight in despair. They had an inauspicious feeling about it. Was Prince Yu about to lose....
A century of cultivation versus a year of cultivation. The disparity was enormous....
Many had begun to cry.
And Yuan Xi shrieked her laughter with her high-pitched voice, her hair dishevelled. She was like a banshee in the night.
Whoosh!
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian had focused his energies, retrieving the Firestorm Horsetail Whisk. He raised both his hands and chanted dao scripture!
When he fell silent, his gaze cold and focused, a tempest began to blow. Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian himself was ensconced within a tornado, which began to blow at terrific speed!
Moreover, the tornado actually caught fire!
This was an advanced dao technique of Jade-based Fire. It already looked special when it was first used. And then Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian swept up the soil and rocks around him into it, creating a tornado of debris!
Bang, bang, bang!
The fire tornado blistered the very ground itself. It shook the entire ground of Capital Wu, and even Yuan Xi found it hard to keep her footing.
"Wu Yu, taste my Fire Tornado."
In a straight up fight, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian was indeed awesome. Wu You's worries were not unfounded. He had cultivated for a century, and had all kinds of methods. This Fire Tornado skill was devastatingly fatal!
Wu Yu, in his Immortal Ape Transformation, hunkered down.
Weng, weng, weng!
The Fire Tornado turned into a huge, fiery tempest, intensifying each moment that passed. If it continued to expand, it would also sweep up many of the Capital Wu citizens and cause countless casualties.
"Accept your death, Wu Yu."
In the tempest, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian's white hair fluttered and danced. He was smiling in a relaxed manner which belied his contempt.
This smile bore a striking resemblance to his face back when he had broken Wu Yu.
From start to end, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian still looked down at him with disdain.
"So what if you've returned? So what if you've become Feng Xueya's personal disciple? I, Hao Tian, am destined to be the inevitable obstacle in your life that you cannot pass. And you are doomed to die in my firestorm today."
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian spoke in a clear voice, as though dictating the will of heaven. These words only exacerbated the fear of the people.
"Oh, is it?"
The golden ape faced the firestorm. And charged!
