Chapter 536: The Battle of the God King
Over the years, he has never forgotten the passing of his master, but as time has passed, he has become able to face the death of his master head-on and would never be unable to control his emotions like he is now.
The divine powers of the two men subsided temporarily, and Luo Li in the distance also began to be confused.
However, she saw that Shi Heng had regained his composure and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Fusheng, the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace, was somewhat surprised. This was the work of the gods...
He chuckled, "Brother, brother, after all these years, you are still as sharp as you were when you were young."
Shi Heng did not say anything, his gaze was like a torch, piercing through the silence around him and shooting straight into Ji Fusheng's deep and unfathomable eyes.
The wind seemed to freeze at this moment, and the surrounding grass and trees were silent. Only the rise and fall of his chest and the slight trembling of the sword in his hand told of the surging waves in his heart.
Ji Fusheng slowly walked in front of him, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if every step he took was on an invisible melody. There was a hint of playfulness and relief in his smile.
"Brother, you and I have been in the same sect since childhood, cultivating spiritual power together. But I don't know when the obsession in your heart has turned into a cage, separating you and me further and further."
He gently raised his hand, and his fingertips moved slightly, as if an invisible force was weaving complex patterns in the air. It was a secret method that only the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace could control.
"Today, I will show you what it means to be detached and to let go. Let this moment of illusion take you back to the past and untie the knot that has been lingering in your heart for years."
Shi Heng's eyes no longer held the anger they had just shown. He said coldly, "It's not my persistence, Ji Fusheng. Ever since you killed our master and colluded with the gods, there is no longer a trace of affection between you and me!"
"I killed her?" Ji Fusheng snorted, a hint of paranoia appearing in the depths of his eyes. "It was obviously her own fault. She was so ignorant that she dared to refuse the invitation of the gods! Since she doesn't want to, then I will do it!"
He looked at Shi Heng, his eyes full of smiles. "That lord has only one request, which is for me to kill her. As long as I kill her, I can become the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace and serve the gods. Even a fool would know what to choose. Don't you agree, Senior Brother?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Heng's face turned ashen, and divine power surged around him. His clothes moved without wind. He clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force, as if he was going to turn this anger into substance in the next second and strike at the figure in front of him, whom he once knew and loved so much.
The two people's shadows were stretched out long, intertwined but not blending, just like their relationship at the moment.
"You...how could you say such outrageous words!" Shi Heng's voice was low and trembling, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying uncontrollable grief and anger.
He suddenly stepped forward, his body surrounded by a dazzling white light, which was a sign of his full divine power. There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn all obstacles to ashes.
But Ji Fusheng smiled and shrugged nonchalantly, "Treason? Master is so understanding, I'm sure she will forgive me."
Shi Heng exhaled, pointed his sword at him, and said indifferently, "Ji Fusheng, let's settle our past grudges today."
Ji Fusheng raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly raised voice, "Okay, Senior Brother, this is a life-or-death game. Unfortunately, Senior Brother, your chances of winning are not very high."
Shi Heng's expression remained unchanged, he remained calm, waving his sword and saying, "Let's see who dies here first."
Suddenly, the wind was freezing, and the sky and the earth seemed to be covered by a thin layer of ice. Shi Heng lightly tapped the tip of his sword, and an ice dragon came out. Its huge body hovered in the air, and its eyes flashed with a biting cold light. The dragon's roar shook the earth, and the air around it was frozen.
Ji Fusheng did not move, with an unruly smile on his lips. He put his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he was not at all concerned about the upcoming fierce attack.
The ice dragon roared and swooped down, bringing with it gusts of biting cold wind, and wherever it passed, the grass and trees were covered with frost.
At this moment, Ji Fusheng's figure became erratic, like a ghost, shuttling between the giant shadows of the ice dragon, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, making it impossible to figure out his true location.
Luo Li and the others were watching this scene from a distance. They really couldn't figure out what was going on and started fighting again.
This time, these two people looked determined to kill.
Shi Heng is a three-star God King, and the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace is a four-star God King. Shi Heng is not without a chance of winning.
The problem is that the ability of the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace is a bit strange. Luo Li guessed that it was related to the Continent of Gods. If the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace has any backup plan, they can't actually help.
Luo Li gritted her teeth. She was now a Nine-Star God King, but facing a battle of this level, she was still of no help.
She was able to defeat the one-star God King of Tianyu Palace because that God King was really weak, and it seemed that his level was forcibly raised by something.
If it was a genuine God King, she would still not be his match.
After all, there is actually a qualitative difference between divine power and spiritual power.
On the other side, the battle between Shi Heng and Ji Fusheng also became tense, and the strength of the two was surprisingly equal.
Since Shi Heng regained consciousness, Ji Fusheng could no longer gain any advantage from him.
While dodging Shi Heng's killing move, Ji Fusheng said in a slightly cold voice, "Senior Brother, you are indeed as our master said, you have amazing talent."
He had to admit that without the help of the gods, he would definitely not be able to defeat Shi Heng.
The sword tips collided, and Ji Fusheng was suddenly shocked and took two steps back.
Shi Heng's figure was like a ghost. Every time he swung his sword, it carried the chill of tearing through space. Wherever the tip of the sword passed, the air seemed to be ignited, leaving behind a series of dazzling silver trails.
Ji Fusheng's movements were agile, like a swimming dragon, skillfully weaving through the net woven by sword light. Every time he narrowly avoided an attack, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, but it also further stimulated his fighting spirit.
He won't lose to him again.
Where the two men clashed, the roar produced by the collision of sword energy and divine power was endless. The ground cracked because it could not withstand this force, and gravel flew everywhere, and smoke and dust rose up.
There was reluctance in Ji Fusheng's eyes.
Suddenly he glanced to the side and saw Luo Li in the distance. He fixed his eyes on her and knew he couldn't waste any more time.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He sped up suddenly, his figure turned into a shadow, and rushed straight towards Shi Heng, with the long sword in his hand shining brightly.
It seemed like he was trying to reverse the situation with one blow.
Shi Heng, with a faint smile on his face, did not dodge or evade. He lightly raised the tip of his sword and, with the force of a little force, dissolved Ji Fusheng's attack into nothingness.
Then, Shi Heng rushed forward due to inertia. He turned around in an instant and was about to attack again when he saw a scene that made his eyes burst with fear.
