The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 378

Chapter 378 Cherish Each Other

As the two of them took four or five steps forward, the attribute crystal energy on their bodies had already circulated to the extreme. The surrounding air let out a whistling sound of wind, as if there was invisible energy stirring it.

However, they clearly did not forget that Li Mu’s left hand swept across the two mutated dogs in the field, and the two mutated dogs were gently swept tens of meters away.

If Hong Wenchang’s appearance did not exceed Qing Feng City’s expectations, Li Mu’s appearance exceeded Hong Wenchang’s and Lin Tian’s expectations.

The reason for that was because the cold and stern man named Ji Tianming, the one who had just proposed, had just frantically surged with battle intent, causing Hong Wenchang to think that he would fight.

He didn’t expect that Li Mu, who was holding the Eight-Faced Han Sword, would walk out in the end. However, Hong Wenchang wasn’t picky about food.

In fact, he saw his own shadow on Li Mu’s body. As the saying goes, an expert would know if he was there as soon as he attacked.

Although it was only a moment of confrontation, Hong Wenchang, who was also a Grandmaster, was secretly looking forward to it.

If Yifan were here, he would probably be extremely interested in the battle between the two of them.

One was a Swordsman Grandmaster, and the other was a Fist Grandmaster. The two of them were at the same level as a Tier 5 Elementium Elementium Evolution Realm cultivator.

However, if he had to subdivide it further, Hong Wenchang would be slightly better than Li Mu in terms of crystal power grade and crystal power storage.

In addition, Hong Wenchang was an emperor-level figure in his previous life. His Strengthening Abilities–SS-class Strength and S-class Speed Abilities–were also extremely abnormal.

Of course, Li Feng wasn’t bad either. In his previous life, Li Feng was at least one of the twelve strongest cultivators in China. He had SS-class speed, A-class strength abilities, and enhanced abilities.

However, it was a pity that Li Mu did not awaken any elemental abilities in his previous life. Or rather, he did not have such an opportunity in his current life.

One had to know that Li Mu was surrounded by strong wind-attributed crystalline power. From the looks of it, both his strength and talent were at least superior. Obviously, he had a different fate in this life.

Li Mu vs. Hong Wenchang.

Although there was only one move in this battle, it was bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers. If Yi Fan knew, he would definitely not miss it…

The two of them stood opposite each other. The one who spoke first was Hong Wenchang. He sighed slightly and said, “I didn’t expect that it would be you who went out to battle.”

Li Mu smiled leisurely, “Haha, what’s wrong? Are you a little disappointed?”

Hearing this, Hong Wenchang waved his hand and said, “I’m not disappointed. After all, compared to him, we are of the same kind. I’m quite interested in your swordsmanship.”

Li Mu said seriously, “Is that so? That’s also why I chose to fight on my own.”

“Come, let me see your Xing Yi Fist.”

Hong Wenchang laughed loudly, “That’s what you wanted!”

“Rumble …!”

As Hong Wenchang spoke, the bones in his entire body suddenly emitted a thunderous sound. The metallic crystal power in his entire body had already climbed to the peak, as if it was made of gold.

His eyes narrowed as he stared at Li Mu. As he thrust his hands forward, he tiptoed with his right foot and stepped forward with his left foot. He flew out like a bolt of lightning.

“Roar …”

A loud tiger roar resounded throughout the world. In the blink of an eye, Hong Wenchang instantly transformed into an extremely ferocious golden tiger and rushed towards Li Mu.

As for Li Mu, the moment Hong Wencheng stared at him with a fierce gaze, a sense of danger arose from being targeted by a powerful predator.

Facing an unknown opponent and such a head-on confrontation, the first to strike would often expose a lot of things, so they would generally be a little afraid of their hands and feet.

However, Hong Wenchang did not. His attack was an extremely standard and fierce Tiger Pounce.

Including the power of a tiger, he tiptoed forward at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant, he was less than ten meters away from Li Mu.

As for Li Mu, since he volunteered to fight and was facing such an opponent, he naturally wouldn’t let down his guard.

In fact, as Hong Wenchang stared at Li Mu with a fierce gaze, the fighting spirit in Li Mu’s eyes also rose rapidly.

At the same time, a dense invisible sword qi soared into the sky, causing Ji Tianming and Lin Tian, who were standing dozens of meters away, to stand upright in an instant, their hairs standing upright, their entire bodies freezing.

“Whoosh!”

Facing Hong Wenchang’s ferocious tiger pounce, Li Mu did not retreat in the slightest.

His right foot suddenly moved backwards, and all the wind attribute crystal energy in his body suddenly exploded. He quickly raised his left foot and stepped forward.

“Chi …!”

As he stepped on the cushion, the wind and clouds instantly surged. The air around him seemed to be emptied in an instant. The hand holding the sword transformed into countless afterimages. As he shouted in a low voice, his sword thrust out like lightning…

“Whoosh!”

“Extreme Sword-Wind Roar!”

The low shouts and the sound of the wind formed a continuous wind roar, like the roar of a hurricane, incomparably shocking.

Amidst the howling sound, Li Mu had already brought his sword with him like a feather, and also like strands of azure threads, gathering into a gust of azure aurora. With the momentum of wind and clouds, he flew towards Hong Wenchang, who was pouncing towards him at an extremely high speed…

Hong Wenchang, who had pounced on him, saw Li Mu’s extremely sharp sword strike and instantly saw through his opponent’s intentions. Obviously, Li Mu was trying to break through his face.

Hong Wenchang suddenly stopped at his feet and his body shrank. His right fist suddenly pulled back like a mechanical cannon frame.

“Ka la …!”

As he stretched, his claws instantly transformed into fists. A crisp sound echoed through his joints. Hong Wenchang’s right hand was instantly forged like a golden stone. The fist part of his right hand completely transformed into a vivid and miraculous tiger’s head. As he stomped down, the earth trembled and his right hand shot out like a cannonball.

“Boom!”

“Roar …!”

“Form Insight-Tiger Cannon…!”

Rumbling sounds, tiger roars, and Hong Wenchang’s roars sounded almost at the same time.

Their speed was so fast that countless afterimages followed. In an instant, the azure aurora collided with the golden tiger.

‘”Dang…!”

Rumble!

A crisp sound of metal striking was heard, and after it spread out, a rumbling sound was heard from the collision of the azure and gold colored energies.

At the very center of the town, within a radius of two to three hundred meters, it instantly transformed into a sea of azure-gold energy. Ji Tianming and Lin Tian quickly circulated their crystalline power to protect themselves, while simultaneously protecting the mutated dog beneath their feet.

The energy released by the two of them caused Lin Tian and even Ji Tianming to be incomparably shocked.

One had to know that the moment these two attacked, the strength of their crystalline power had probably already broken through to the peak of Tier 5, reaching the peak of Tier 5.

Strong, too strong. Both of them are very strong.

Furthermore, from Ji Tianming’s point of view, although the two of them had just used their full strength, the simple move was not a life-and-death battle. How could they be said to have used their full strength? The two of them still had some reservations.

The two people outside just saw Hong Wenchang transform into a golden tiger and pounce out at top speed. Li Mu wielded his sword and merged his human and sword into one. He transformed into a thin, azure-colored line and shot out at top speed.

Then, just as they were about to collide, the fierce tiger squatted down and shrank. Its accumulated energy bombarded out like a cannonball. Then, due to the intense collision of energy, it fell into a state of chaos.

“Chi …!”

A moment later, the wind whistled and the field suddenly became clear. Ji Tianming and Lin Tian looked at the field again.

In their eyes, Hong Wenchang and Li Mu, who were less than a few meters away from each other, had already retracted their moves and stood up.

The simple eight-faced Han sword in Li Mu’s hand had already turned into a tattered short sword. There were many small cuts on the dark green armor, and there were even traces of blood on several places.

Judging from this situation, the ancient sword should not be able to withstand the violent power of the two of them and the destruction of their crystal power. In this battle of experts, it had died and exploded into fragments that filled the sky.

The tiny wounds on Li Mu’s body should have come from the cutting of those fragments.

Hong Wenchang, on the other hand, wasn’t much better. Of course, there weren’t any wounds on his body, not even the corners of his clothes.

After all, Hong Wenchang was an evolver of metallic elements. The strength of his body and the characteristics of metallic crystalline power were all there. Those tiny fragments mixed with a bit of crystalline power naturally wouldn’t be able to pierce through his crystalline power defense.

However, a small wound appeared on the bone of his right hand. Blood droplets slowly dripped down from it.

Obviously, although he wasn’t scratched by the fragment, he was also stabbed by Li Mu’s incomparably sharp sword when he received this sword strike.

“I lost!”

“I lost!”

The two of them paused for a moment before speaking at almost the same time.

After saying that, a trace of sympathy flashed through their eyes.

“Haha … ha! Good …! Let’s not care if we win or lose, it’s rare for us to be so happy.” Hong Wenchang said straightforwardly.

Then, before Li Mu could say anything, he said in a low voice, “How many swords did you use in this move?”

Li Mu also had a good impression of Hong Wenchang in this state. He immediately smiled and said, “Not much, not much. A total of 99 swords.”

Hearing this, Hong Wenchang’s expression was extremely solemn as he said, “Good, ninety-nine to one. Good move. Extreme sword-Wind Roar.”

“In an instant, ninety-nine swords and swords are all peak swords. With this move, I, Hong Wenchang, admit that I am inferior.”

Li Mu smiled faintly when he heard this, “Brother Wen Chang, you’re joking. That punch of yours is incomparably domineering. It can be said to be invincible. In the end, if I don’t restrain my strength, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stand and speak.”

Hong Wenchang said generously, “Hi …! That’s your ancient sword. It suddenly exploded. If the sword in your hand can reach Heavenly Rock City’s Ink Artifact level, I guess my hand should also be crippled.”

“Speaking of which, let’s not push it. You have a good personality with me, so we don’t know each other until we fight.”

“Even if we make a friend, don’t you think that puppy is destined for you?”

“Let’s call this a draw. I’ll destroy your sword, and that puppy will be yours.”

“How about…?”

Seeing Hong Wenchang speak like this, Li Mu no longer refused. He immediately smiled and said, “Good! Brother Wenchang, I, Li Mu, have made friends with you.”

“As for destroying the sword, don’t mention it anymore. If it’s about the puppy, it’s my Brother Li Mucheng Wenchang’s affection.”

“Li Mu, you’re being disrespectful …!”
