Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 172: An Unrivaled Opponent

Chapter 172 -172: An Unrivaled Opponent

“I have divine assistance on my side,” Shi Hao said indifferently, oozing with cockiness.

Yet, no one could refute him, for Shi Hao was trapped under the mountain, and unless a miracle happened, how could he possibly escape?

“Regardless, he is just a mere Soul Nurturing realm cultivator!” Fu Yang said with disdain as he looked at Nong Yongrui and the others, “Since all of you used to be from the White Cloud Sect, it falls upon you to deal with this boy.”

He didn’t take action himself, as he had reservations, given Shi Hao’s miraculous escape and Bai Wenxing’s cultivation being reduced were both beyond belief; he was playing it safe.

In fact, Nong Yongrui and the others were also filled with reservations, but what could they do? With Fu Yang having spoken, could they refuse?

Thus, after exchanging looks with each other, all seven stepped forward, surrounded Shi Hao, while Bai Wenxing seized the chance to break through and started gasping for air on the side.

“Shi Hao, you’ve walked right into the trap. So, don’t struggle in vain, and just seek a swift end!” Nong Yongrui said indifferently, his face flushed with shame.

Who was he?

An esteemed Other Shore Realm expert, now forced to join others in dealing with a mere Soul Nurturing cultivator—how could he face this situation with dignity?

Shi Hao laughed, “A bunch of traitors dare to be so righteous in front of me! Today, I’ll start by cleaning house!”

“How dare you!” The seven, including Nong Yongrui, coldly chastised, finding the Soul Nurturing realm cultivator far too arrogant.

“Kill him!” All seven drew their weapons, mindful not to underestimate the situation as Bai Wenxing’s cultivation had been reduced before.

Shi Hao stood proudly, blade in right hand, facing the seven Other Shore Realm powerhouses.

Nong Yongrui and the others attacked simultaneously, each launching a palm strike towards Shi Hao.

But as they unleashed their Dark Force, all of them changed color at once.

The power of only eight steps, and their maximum range had shrunk from fifty yards to thirty yards.

Their cultivations had been reduced to just eight steps, and there were seven of them—hiss!

What kind of ultimate weapon did this kid possess, to be able to reduce the cultivation of seven Other Shore Realm powerhouses to eight steps simultaneously?

Not just them, even Fu Yang and the others were shocked, realizing that Bai Wenxing’s situation was not unique.

Shi Hao truly had a means to weaken his opponents’ cultivation.

Hiss!

If this guy stepped into the Other Shore Realm and further reduced their cultivation, wouldn’t killing them be as easy as blowing off dust?

Such recognition instilled a strong sense of wariness and intent to kill in everyone’s hearts.

No, they had to kill Shi Hao today at any cost, or else he would be an endless threat in the future.

Nong Yongrui and the others looked at one another and launched their attack.

It didn’t matter anymore. Even though their cultivation had dropped to eight-step Soul Nurturing, there were still seven of them—surely they could suppress Shi Hao, couldn’t they?

Seven powerful experts joined forces and advanced on Shi Hao.

Unfazed, Shi Hao wielded the Ninefold Mountain ferociously, its 200,000 pounds plus its unstoppable sharpness made it terrifyingly powerful.

With a horizontal slash of his blade, the seven, including Nong Yongrui, did not dare to meet the attack head-on and were forced to evade.

This left Nong Yongrui and his companions feeling utterly shamed—seven Other Shore Realm experts, and yet they were losing face!

Shi Hao pressed on aggressively. With all his trump cards revealed, he could match up to seventh or even eighth steps, and with the enhancement from Ninefold Mountain, not even a nine-step expert would dare to take his attacks head-on.

What could seven people do, united or not?

Shi Hao charged forward, forcing the seven strong opponents to continuously blast out their Dark Force to fend off his assault.

It became clear to them that in a head-on fight, they were no match for Shi Hao; killing him could only be achieved through one method, attrition.

Wear out this kid’s strength, and naturally, he could be killed with ease.

To say it out loud would be embarrassing—Other Shore Realm experts, and moreover, seven joining hands, having to resort to the Consumption Technique, was utterly humiliating!

However, even if Fu Yang and Lu Ying were to join the fight, the only way for them to win would also be the same.

But as long as they could win, nothing else mattered!

Nong Yongrui and his six comrades clearly had extremely thick skins and didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed as they continually unleashed their Dark Force attacks, forcing Shi Hao to defend with the Ninefold Mountain and greatly depleting his strength.

“Hmph!” Shi Hao sneered, employing the Cloud Piercing Step; his speed suddenly shot up.

This was a speed comparable to the practitioners of the Other Shore Realm. Now that Nong Yongrui and the other six had their cultivation reduced, naturally none of them could keep up.

However, they weren’t too fearful because Shi Hao’s speed wasn’t so fast that they were unable to defend themselves. Therefore, as long as they heightened their vigilance, they could avoid danger without much trouble.

Shi Hao charged at Nong Yongrui, rapidly closing in to a distance of three Zhang, and with a raise of his hand, a scorching white bolt of lightning struck forth.

When the lightning struck, Nong Yongrui’s whole body trembled, and his hands and feet went numb.

However, they were seven in number. Although Nong Yongrui was hit, the other six simultaneously blasted out their Dark Force, forcefully repelling Shi Hao.

In just a moment, Nong Yongrui had recovered his strength, resolving the crisis.

With lingering fear in his heart, he realized how terrifying Shi Hao could be when they shared the same major realm.

“Brat, your power is limited, we can simply wear you down to death!” All seven Nong Yongrui stated.

“Oh?” Shi Hao responded with a faint smile. With a thought, seven bolts of lightning simultaneously streaked out, targeting Nong Yongrui and his six comrades.

What, Shi Hao could actually split his Elemental Attack into seven separate bolts and strike with such precision?

In shock, the seven Nong Yongrui hastily launched their Dark Force, trying to halt Shi Hao’s advance and buy time for their recovery.

Zzzt!

Amidst the flickering lightning, all seven were struck at once, their bodies going numb and violently trembling.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Hao attacked, brandishing his blade in a sweeping motion.

The seven Nong Yongrui hurriedly tried to block, but how incredibly sharp and immensely heavy was the Ninefold Mountain?

As the blade sliced through, broken weapons danced through the air, along with severed hands, arms, and heads.

In an instant, two of the seven warriors from the Other Shore Realm died, and five were maimed.

Fu Yang, Lu Ying, and the others were appalled. What were they to do now?

Although this young man was at the Soul Nurturing realm, he possessed methods to drag his opponents down to the Soul Nurturing realm as well. Coupled with the might of his lightning, the sheer mass and sharpness of the Ninefold Mountain, he easily disposed of the eight-stepped Soul Nurturers.

If they were to go up, would the result be the same?

This chilling thought sent shivers down their spines and sweat pouring down their faces.

Shi Hao continued his assault, utterly overwhelming, and the remaining five elders from the Nong Yongrui group were quickly finished off by him.

With their speed also suppressed, these warriors of the Other Shore Realm didn’t even have a chance to escape.

In contrast, which among Fu Yang and his companions would dare to step forward to help?

Shi Hao, holding the Ninefold Mountain, advanced towards Fu Yang and the others.

This made Fu Yang and the others instinctively retreat, as the young man before them was too eerie and they dared not confront him.

Whoosh, a figure flashed, and Xia Mengyin had already appeared.

Suddenly seeing such a stunningly beautiful woman, even Fu Yang and Lu Ying revealed a look of fascination, their hearts, which had grown tired of beautiful sights, revived once more.

How could there possibly be such a beautiful woman in this world?

“Eh, why did you come out?” Shi Hao curled his lips, “I’ve got this under control.”

“I believe you,” Xia Mengyin nodded, “but it’s not worth wasting too much time over these ants.”

What, ants?
