Chapter 988: Respective Strengths

“Who is he?”

At that moment, all eyes were focused on that figure.

The scene just now was too shocking.

Dao Jiu was also shocked. However, after staring at the man for a while, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

“It’s you, Qin!”

He gritted his teeth, and his expression turned malevolent. His eyes flashed with utter hatred.

That was the guy who had stolen his supreme treasure and cultivation technique.

That guy would not have been able to come so close to the platform if not for the Nine Heavens Lightning Scripture!

Adding the power of Rainbringer’s divine bone to the scripture, it was no surprise that the guy seemed so relaxed.

“Qin? What! He’s that Nameless Qin?”

The whale raksha trembled with excitement when he heard that name, and his eyes sparkled with greed.

The other rakshas had the same reaction.

“d.a.m.n! It’s that freak again!”

In the crowd, the monkey let out a strange cry.

“He’s the one with Rainbringer’s divine bone! Kill him and reclaim our bone!”

“The divine bone belongs to the rakshas. Humans shouldn’t have it!”

The rakshas shouted agitatedly.

“You’re here, you villain! You’re not going to get away this time!”

“We’ve been waiting for you, Qin!”

The Nascent Soul experts from the major sects sneered as they took out their supreme treasures.

“He’s Nameless Qin? As expected, he’s just as powerful and cool as in the rumors!”

Some women in the crowd began to shriek.

Their eyes sparkled as though they were his fangirls.

Tang Hao turned around and glanced at the crowd coldly. “I’m standing right here. Come if you have the guts!” He shouted coldly.

“You… Don’t be too smug, you brat!”

The leader of the Di family delegation could not take it anymore. He raised his hand and fired a beam of light toward Tang Hao. Before it hit Tang Hao’s body, it was shattered by a lightning strike.

The old man was stunned, and his face turned red from embarra.s.sment.

“Come over here, d.a.m.ned brat!”

“No, you come in here!”

“No, you come here!”

“I’m not going there. What can you do?” Tang Hao rolled his eyes and said mockingly.

The old man made angry noises, and his face turned into a beet-red color.

“Calm down, Ol’ Di. That kid will have to step out sooner or later. He’s not going to get away. Who knows if he’ll be killed by lightning before we have to do anything!” The elder from Primeval Mountain laughed.

The Nascent Soul monsters waited there.

“Hahaha, what luck! Not only will I obtain a lightning reservoir, but I’ll also get a divine bone!” The whale raksha laughed and took another step forward.

Rumble!

Lightning flashed and struck his body.

“Ahh!”

He roared as his eyes flashed with purple light. He endured the attack and took another step forward.

Dao Jiu also began to move. The lightning in his eyes surged as he took another step.

Tang Hao was not going to be left behind. He also took a step forward. Following that, he flicked his wrist and attacked the whale raksha with a green beam of light.

The whale raksha noticed the attack, but he did not take it to heart. A sneak attack from a Golden Core kid would not pose a threat to him.

However, Dao Jiu also attacked. He did not attack Tang Hao, but instead, he also fired a beam at the whale raksha.

The whale raksha’s expression changed.

He could deal with one Golden Core but not two. They were both top-notch prodigies.

The two beams of light hit the raksha at the same time.

The whale raksha let out a m.u.f.fled groan. Lightning struck him once again when his defense was lowered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Instantly, he made a decision and retreated rapidly.

After he retreated, he fell to the ground and continuously vomited blood. He was already heavily injured.

“Senior!”

The raksha rushed up and crowded around him.

“You humans… are too despicable!” They cursed angrily.

At that moment, only two contenders were left.

They stood about ten meters apart, glaring at each other from afar.

“There’s only the two of us left, Qin!”

Dao Jiu shouted. He looked as though he wanted to fight.

He had displayed astonis.h.i.+ng talent since he was young. After joining Primeval Mountain, he became a beloved prodigy. Everything went smoothly until… that guy appeared.

Dao Jiu had already lost twice to that guy, once in the Void Realm and once on Sublime Mountain. However, he did not admit defeat. No matter what, he had to defeat that guy once.

If he could obtain the lightning reservoir, he could turn the tables and be the first again.

Sensing Dao Jiu’s battle intent, Tang Hao took a deep breath and said, “Alright! Let’s have another battle today!”

As he said that, he took a step forward.

At that point, the lightning that struck him became even more powerful. His physical body alone was not able to withstand it.

His body trembled, and the divine bone in his chest shone with a blinding light.

He took another step forward, and thousands of lightning bolts struck down from the sky.

Whoos.h.!.+ A golden beam of light rose above him and transformed into a golden cauldron that blocked the lightning strikes.

An ancient flag flew out from Dao Jiu’s body. Then, a piece of bone in front of his chest lit up. The light from the bone was green, and he had a faint silhouette of a pheasant around his body.

Green lightning flashed on the wings of the majestic bird.

“That’s the emerald lightning pheasant!”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone gasped in surprise.

The emerald lightning pheasant was also a famous primordial beast that could control lightning.

“Primeval Mountain came prepared!” Someone exclaimed.

Dao Jiu happened to have a lightning attribute divine bone in his body, and he also had the sect’s supreme treasure. That could not have been a coincidence; Primeval Mountain was determined to get the lightning reservoir.

“That Qin guy is in trouble now!”

Nameless Qin should have been at an advantage because he had Rainbringer’s divine bone, but the tables were turned when Dao Jiu revealed that he had the bone of the emerald lightning pheasant.

With the pheasant bone and the power of the Primeval Flag, Dao Jiu walked swiftly toward the lightning reservoir.

Tang Hao’s expression changed. In the blink of an eye, he was at a disadvantage.

He braced against the lightning strikes and chased after Dao Jiu.

Dao Jiu was the first to arrive at the base of the high platform. He took a step forward, and the water in the lightning reservoir suddenly sloshed and turned into lightning dragons that surged toward him.

He waved his hand, and three lightning feathers flew out. They hovered in front of him and blocked the attack.

Then, he climbed onto the platform while bracing against the lightning strikes and grabbed the reservoir.

“I win, Qin!”

He turned around and shouted. He was ecstatic.

The crowd was in an uproar.

“Good job, Dao Jiu!”

“You’re amazing, Dao Jiu!”

The disciples of the major sects cheered joyfully.

Some were even crying tears of joy.

They had finally won. The villain was not undefeatable.

“Hmph!”

At that moment, Dao Jiu heard a cold grunt.

“Don’t be too sure of yourself. It’s not yours yet!” Tang Hao laughed coldly and strode forward. He flicked his wrist, and lightning crystals flew out and formed a ring around his body.

The lightning crystals attracted the lightning bolts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The lightning crystals exploded one by one as Tang Hao climbed up and stepped onto the platform. He reached out with one hand and grabbed the lightning reservoir.

“You shouldn’t have celebrated your victory too early!”

He sneered and reached out with his other hand to strike Dao Jiu.
