Chapter 1848: Zhang Fei VS Meng Huo II
’Hehehe! If he defeats Old Meng, the ranking of the strongest cultivators will change after so long, and he will become the second strongest cultivator in this realm.’ Long Yuxi gave Zhang Fei [5] a thumbs up, glancing at Meng Huo. She didn’t expect such a young lust demon to threaten the mighty nightmare lord.
Jiu Tou Sen was quite surprised to hear Zhang Fei [5]’s threat to Meng Huo. Moreover, he forbade Huo Ling to help him, which showed his confidence to face the nightmare lord. ’Show me your true strength, kid.’
Meng Huo looked ugly because Zhang Fei [5] insisted on protecting Yuan Xiajie. He didn’t want to fight with her because Feng Yao and Huo Ling were his wives, and he didn’t want to fight the two women, but the situation suddenly changed just for the sake of a female demon.
"If you don’t want to give up, then don’t blame me."
Long Yuxi, Jiu Tou Sen, and Meng Huo gasped in shock as Zhang Fei [5] disappeared from their sight; the worst thing was that they couldn’t sense his aura.
Unlike them, Mo Qingwen appeared calm because he had fought alongside Zhang Fei [5] for over a month in the dungeon, so he already had an idea of his strength and abilities. He pitied Meng Huo because he was about to face something he had never imagined, and he would die if he didn’t give up. ’I hope that kid won’t kill him because we still need him, especially with those foreign creatures threatening this realm.’
Meng Huo tried to look for Zhang Fei [5]’s whereabouts, but he couldn’t feel his aura and movement at all, as if he had disappeared completely. A jet-black sphere quickly spread from his torso to several meters away, forcing Jiu Tou Sen and Long Yuxi to jump away.
Mo Qingwen didn’t expect Meng Huo to activate his domain from the start, but he moved quickly by grabbing Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie’s shoulders. He carried the two women away from the domain’s range; otherwise, they would be caught up in its effects.
Meanwhile, Huo Ling remained calm, and she looked at Meng Huo with a look of disdain. "Just a single domain, huh? What a show-off!"
Meng Huo did not respond to Huo Ling’s taunts, and he continued trying to find Zhang Fei [5]’s location. However, several other domains suddenly overlapped his domain, which shocked him.
Long Yuxi and Jiu Tou Sen were stunned after seeing the domains, one of which was similar to Meng Huo’s domain. Even though they didn’t see it directly, they were sure that all the domains belonged to Zhang Fei [5], but he didn’t understand how he could create a domain similar to that of the nightmare lord.
No one except Feng Yao and Huo Ling knew that Zhang Fei [5] had already mimicked Meng Huo’s Nightmare Sovereign Codex, so it wasn’t difficult for him to create a domain similar to his.
However, Zhang Fei [5]’s new domain was different from Meng Huo’s, and he combined it with his own domains to enhance its effect.
Meng Huo’s jet-black eyes trembled; he didn’t understand how Zhang Fei [5] could mimic his domain, which had always been his mainstay. However, he quickly realized that his opponent’s domain was not completely similar to his, and it had some other effects that his own domain did not have.
"Do you understand the difference in our abilities now?"
Meng Huo spun around and swung his sword, but his attack sliced through empty air.
"I have to admit that your Nightmare Sovereign Codex is amazing, but you won’t be able to use all your techniques against me."
"Gah!" Meng Huo suddenly screamed, and blood flowed from the deep slash wound in his chest. He unleashed his cultivation and killing intent at full strength to exert pressure on Zhang Fei [5].
However, Zhang Fei [5] immediately suppressed Meng Huo’s killing intent with his own, shocking everyone who witnessed it. They knew the nightmare lord’s killing intent was quite terrifying, but a young cultivator suppressed it with his own.
Although he said he would kill Meng Huo, Zhang Fei [5] never intended to kill him from the start. There were still many powerful enemies out there, especially those shadowy creatures. Not even Feng Yao could defeat those creatures, so he needed many powerful allies to eradicate them and defeat the core creature.
Meng Huo suddenly felt pressure from above, so he hurriedly looked up and saw countless qi swords of different colors hovering there. His pupils dilated after he sensed the power of those qi swords; he just realized that Zhang Fei [5] was a god-rank swordmaster.
Meng Huo gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Xiajie, but Mo Qingwen swiftly protected her, realizing that the nightmare lord was targeting her. "Old Meng, your opponent is Zhang Fei."
"You—Gah!" Meng Huo looked at his chest, finding a white sword stabbing him from behind. He swung his sword backward, but Zhang Fei [5]’s speed was simply much faster than his, and he dodged his attack while pulling his sword out of his body. "Damn it!"
Meng Huo hurriedly swallowed a pill to stop the bleeding, but his blood didn’t stop; instead, it flowed even faster.
"As long as you’re in my domain, your bleeding will never stop." Zhang Fei [5] moved again and slashed Meng Huo’s chest several times, causing his bleeding to become even worse. "I will give you one more chance: give up or die."
"Hah... Hah..." Meng Huo fell to one leg and breathed heavily; he had not expected that he would be completely helpless in front of a cultivator who was much younger than him. Even his ultimate ability didn’t work in front of him, which had never happened before.
Jiu Tou Sen and Long Yuxi exchanged shocked glances; they did not expect that Zhang Fei [5] could suppress Meng Huo from the start, and he also rendered his abilities useless.
"If you don’t give up now, you will really die, and people will forget your name." After Zhang Fei [5] said that, fourteen silhouettes of beasts appeared in the area around them, and their gazes were completely focused on Meng Huo. "Live or die, it is your choice."
’This crazy kid!’
Jiu Tou Sen and Long Yuxi were equally shocked, their gazes constantly shifting from one beast to another.
The nine-tailed heavenly fox.
The fire phoenix.
The dark phoenix.
The ice phoenix.
The golden crow.
The vermillion bird.
The golden fox.
The flame dragon.
The azure dragon.
The mythical deer.
The azure emperor roc.
The rainbow-shelled tortoise.
The white tiger.
What shocked Long Yuxi and Jiu Tou Sen the most was the last beast, the Calamity Demon Dragon.
’The one and only Calamity Demon Dragon, whose strength is equal to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon,’ Jiu Tou Sen and Long Yuxi muttered in their hearts. ’How did this kid get all those beast bloodlines? No! How could his body accommodate so many beast bloodlines at once? How absurd!’
Jiu Tou Sen and Long Yuxi looked at Huo Ling, who was smiling proudly while she looked at Zhang Fei [5]. They finally knew the reason behind the female flame spirit and Feng Yao’s decision to choose him as their husband.
Meng Huo looked at all those beasts with fear; he knew that he would die if Zhang Fei [5] ordered them to attack him. Not to mention, those countless qi swords were still aimed at him, and they had different elements. Throughout his life, he had never experienced such humiliation, including when he fought against Guan Zhiyi in the past.
*Swoosh*
A woman suddenly appeared in the battle arena, and they immediately recognized her identity as Guang Zhiyi. However, she was different from the original Guang Zhiyi, and her aura was much gentler.
Zhang Fei [5] raised an eyebrow because she was the same woman as the one in the Era of the Beginning, but then he remembered that Feng Yao was the embodiment of Xin, the core of this universe.
Guang Zhiyi looked at him with a smile. "You should stop, husband. We still need Meng Huo to fight those creatures, so you can’t kill him."
"I know." Zhang Fei [5] removed all his techniques. "If I wanted to kill him, I would have done it from the start."
"Hehe," Guang Zhiyi looked at Meng Huo. "Old friend, your cultivation is indeed high, and your abilities are also frightening to others. However, my husband is different from you or other cultivators, and he has a much harder task to save this universe. You may feel humiliated now, but you will not lose face because of your defeat to him, so I advise you to give up and help him to stop those creatures."
Meng Huo looked at Guang Zhiyi before letting out a soft breath, and he also retracted his cultivation and killing intent. "I’m lost."
"Haha," Guang Zhiyi laughed. "There’s nothing wrong with losing to a stronger cultivator. Didn’t you experience it when I beat you up in the past?"
Meng Huo’s mouth twitched. "You are still as shameless as in the past, Guang Zhiyi."
"Well? I’m really shameless." Guang Zhiyi nodded with a smile.
"Why can’t I detect any signs of life from you?" Meng Huo asked as he stood up, and his injuries began to heal slowly.
Guang Zhiyi smiled. "Because the body is not my real body, and it is just a projection of the memories I left behind."
"Hey! What do you mean by that, Guang Zhiyi?" Long Yuxi asked, jumping in front of her.
Guang Zhiyi shrugged. "I won’t explain it to you, little dragon. However, I can tell you that my real body lives inside my husband’s beast space, and I’m always watching everything from there."
"Huh? Does that mean you reincarnated as a beast in this lifetime?"
