Chapter 654 - 651: Hundred Weapons Dao Body

Amidst the explosion of airwaves, Bai Pu and Prince Gaton simultaneously retreated backwards.

Bai Pu used the rebound force to flip himself onto the top of Dragon Ring Cliff, a thin ridge like a wall.

This ridge is only half a foot wide, making regular people dizzy just standing on it, let alone fighting.

Fortunately, due to Laine’s activation of the Holy Dragon’s Jaw, the ice and snow covering Dragon Ring Cliff were stripped away, revealing a blue-black ridge.

If it were originally covered with ice and snow, one couldn’t stand on it at all; even with Bai Pu’s agility close to 200 points, it would be useless. But now, at least it’s stable enough to stand.

Prince Gaton had nowhere to leverage his force in the air, and looked as if he were about to be shaken down.

However, after being shaken back, he raised his left arm.

His left hand instantly extended, transforming into a flashing dark gold grappling hook, clasping onto the depression beneath the giant dragon relief on the Dragon Ring Cliff, precisely the spot where the Holy Dragon’s Jaw was supposed to be embedded.

The hook exerted its force, and Prince Gaton executed a grand rotation in the air, landing on the top of Dragon Ring Cliff, standing ten meters apart from Bai Pu, facing each other from a distance.

"You’ve indeed chosen a unique resting place for yourself."

Prince Gaton’s thought sensation fluctuated over, and without waiting for Bai Pu’s response, his figure turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight ahead!

Then... he threw a punch.

As he threw that punch, the golden light of the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd shone brightly, and the tip of the spear shot out.

Clang!

Bai Pu raised his hand to block, and a violent tremor sounded. In an instant, the two exchanged four or five moves. The intense sound of vibrations continued uninterruptedly, echoing among the mountains.

In terms of combat specialization, Bai Pu, fully exerting his state, was clearly superior at this moment.

But his attacks thrusting at Prince Gaton felt as if they hit a piece of steel forged a thousand times, shaking his own tiger’s mouth numb!

The Doomsday Blade, usually omnipotent, could only leave white marks on Prince Gaton, unable to break the skin or flesh.

"How can this Sea Race creature be so hard!"

"How can this lowly human be so hard!"

As Bai Pu criticized Prince Gaton’s ’toughness,’ Prince Gaton was also criticizing Bai Pu’s toughness.

After a few rounds, both realized that this battle might evolve into a prolonged entanglement.

Until they figured out each other’s strengths and weaknesses, both tacitly refrained from unleashing powerful skills.

On one hand, using powerful skills requires obvious power-up actions, making it easy for the opponent to take advantage.

On the other hand, if the enemy’s situation is unknown, and powerful skills hit the opponent at their hardest, toughest spot and fail to hit the weak point, it’s just a wasted effort, needlessly consuming a large amount of professional energy.

While Bai Pu and Prince Gaton were testing each other in battle, at the bottom of Dragon Ring Cliff, Laine led Mage Lorich and the Huaxia Battle Group fighting against the Dragon People Legion.

Unlike the top-notch probing at the top, the fight below was full-on from the start.

Laine’s "Blood Sea Shark Fighting" fighting qi was in full swing, spreading the "Blood Sea Waves" domain to restrict opponents’ movements with the countercurrent, and augmenting allied speed with the downstream, while the roaming fighting qi sharks continually sought opportunities to attack the Dragon People.

Dai Sect displayed enormous power of mountain pulling and carrying the tripod, and every strike of the war axe made a Dragon Person spew blood and fly off.

Wushan Divine Lady, Blood Spider, and others, in the Blood Sea Waves domain, were like fish in water, elusive and launching deadly assaults on the Dragon People.

Furthermore, the Dragon People were not united; some were moved by Laine’s Holy Dragon’s Jaw, believing that stopping Laine now would betray the ancestral vows.

For instance, Dragon People General "Ikhvanis" seemed hesitant, wavering with his trusted guards on the periphery.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Great Elder Khabazan roared out his ultimate move:

Dragon transformation!

Khabazan’s body swelled rapidly as if inflated, its surface covered with robust dragon scales, and a pair of dragon wings extended behind.

His hands also turned into dragon’s sharp claws.

Dragon wings spread, Khabazan dove down like a bomber, grabbing a Mage Lorich with a swipe.

Physical damage, passive additions of giant dragon’s power, and real damage from Black Diamond’s Claw directly obliterated that Mage Lorich’s shield, tearing it in two, raining blood.

"I am the chosen one, I am the Child of Prophecy! Dragon People, attack, kill all these outsiders!"

Carrying the might of his killing, Khabazan’s voice roared like thunder.

"Great Elder... exactly like the ancestor on the relief!"

"The Great Elder is the Child of Prophecy; these outsiders aren’t even of our species, how could they possibly be favored by the Holy Dragon King!"

The Dragon People Generals shouted, their morale significantly boosted.

Khabazan saw the mobilized Dragon People Legion, elated and also breathed a sigh of relief.

His dragon transformation was based on his bloodline strength, augmented by the treasures inherited from the Dragon People, with strict time limits.

During the transformation, he equaled a lord of the same level, but once the transformation ended, he’d inevitably fall into weakness.

"Laine, the situation is clear now."

Dai Sect split a Dragon People General with an axe, speaking solemnly, "You must defeat Khabazan as quickly as possible to prove your identity as the ’Child of Prophecy.’ That way, the Dragon People Legion will no longer be our enemies but will become allies!

"We can’t directly help you, at most create an even fighting environment for you. To subdue the Dragon People, you can only rely on your own strength."

"I understand, Teacher Hercules."

Laine lunged towards the dragon-transformed Khabazan, while Rabbit’s Moonlight Protection also covered him, boosting his speed.

Some Dragon People tried to stop Laine but were blocked by Dai Sect and others.

The battlefield split into three parts.

The first at the top of Dragon Ring Cliff, with Bai Pu fighting the Otherworld Traveler: Prince of the Sea, Gaton.

The second near the relief’s inner layer, with Laine fighting the dragon-transformed Great Elder Khabazan.

The third in other areas of Dragon Ring Cliff, with the Huaxia Battle Group, Mage Lorich, along with Dragon People General Nakang controlled by Bai Pu, fighting the Dragon People Legion.

Atop the ridge that barely allowed a person to pass sideways, Bai Pu and Prince Gaton clashed seven times in a row.

After each clash, Bai Pu retreated a step, a normal approach to dissipating force in clashing, avoiding the rebound force from injuring his muscles and meridians, causing extra unnecessary harm.

However, Prince Gaton seemed unaffected by the rebound force; after each clash, he advanced instead of retreating, continuing with a fierce assault!

After seven clashes, Bai Pu retreated seven steps, reaching the edge of the circular cliff, with a deep abyss behind him.

"Haha, don’t you understand yet?"

Prince Gaton laughed loudly, his thought sensation fluctuating wave after wave, trying to undermine Bai Pu’s fighting spirit, "Flesh and blood, no matter how strongly trained, have limits. I’ve melted those top-grade weapons within my body, cultivating the ’Hundred Weapons Dao Body;’ I am the weapon! How could mere rebound force harm me?"
