The next moment, a huge, seemingly heavy sword suddenly appeared in the burly man's hand. He accelerated forward and slashed angrily at Shen Yunhao.
Cao Lei's true cultivation level was at the late stage of the Soul Control Realm, comparable to that of an ordinary sea race patrol officer. At this moment, he had suppressed his cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, but the power of this strike... still exceeded Shen Yunhao's expectations!
"boom!"
Faced with such a powerful blade, Shen Yunhao did not choose to fight head-on at the first moment. Instead, he kicked off with both legs and dodged to the side!
A loud crash was heard. Shen Yunhao turned around and saw that the spot where he had just been standing had been smashed into a crater with a diameter of three meters.
Standing in the pit, Cao Lei twisted his neck and sneered, "What? You're already backing down before the fight even starts?"
Seeing such power, Shen Yunhao's expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly puzzled.
Is this really the kind of effect that can be achieved by someone in the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm?
Or is it...?
After thinking for a while, Shen Yunhao understood the crux of the problem.
Although his cultivation level was deliberately suppressed, the physical strength of the demon race did not weaken with the decrease in cultivation level. Even without the support of spiritual energy, Cao Lei still possessed the basic attributes of the Soul Control Realm.
In general, when encountering this situation, it is better to avoid a direct confrontation and instead engage in a contest of magical techniques.
Unfortunately, Shen Yunhao broke through to the Soul Condensation Realm too recently, and the spells he has learned so far are all for close combat.
So, just as Cao Lei was about to strike, Shen Yunhao gathered all his spiritual energy and used the Guixue Sword to parry it head-on!
"Bang!"
The clash of swords actually produced sparks!
Shen Yunhao felt his tiger's mouth crack from the shock, and he staggered back dozens of steps before he could finally regain his footing.
On the other side, Cao Lei was also extremely surprised!
In this clash, he was clearly the one with the advantage, but... the serrated broadsword in his hand emitted a rather ominous echo.
With both sides supported by spiritual energy of equal level, his Mad Shark Blade was actually... suppressed!
However, he didn't think much of it. The Shark Tooth Blade transformed into a black whirlwind, each strike carrying immense power, as it relentlessly slashed at Shen Yunhao!
Shen Yunhao fought and retreated. Before long, the sword blade drew a winding line of blood on the beach. He didn't know when, but his right shoulder had been torn open by the sword energy, and his hands were numb from the shock.
"You're good at talking big, but is that all you've got?"
Cao Lei lunged forward with a sinister grin, his blade suddenly changing direction from a slash to a thrust.
Shen Yunhao dodged to the side but was still slashed in the ribs, and blood immediately seeped out, making him look very disheveled.
In contrast, Cao Lei had almost no wounds, which gave him a clear advantage!
"How boring!"
Cao Lei slung the broadsword over his shoulder and said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Vast Ocean Heart should be in your hands, right? You're injured like this, don't you plan to use it?"
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"I went through so much trouble to get myself into this state, and you want me to fix it?"
Before Cao Lei could figure out the meaning behind Shen Yunhao's words, he saw a thin layer of frost suddenly condense on the other's body.
The frost, like armor, completely enveloped Shen Yunhao's entire body, and the aura emanating from him suddenly increased to a higher level!
"What? The Vast Ocean Heart has this effect?"
"Alright! Warm-up complete, the competition... officially begins!"
Before he could finish speaking, a "whoosh" was heard, and Shen Yunhao thrust forward with the Guixue Sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Cao Lei's neck!
To be precise, it's the three gill slits below the neck!
This is the only place in the Nether Sea Tiger Shark clan without leather armor for protection, and it is also their greatest weakness.
"So fast!"
Cao Lei hurriedly swung his sword to defend, but he only managed to change Shen Yunhao's attack position. Gui Xue Sword pierced straight into Cao Lei's left shoulder!
"snort!"
Unexpectedly, the injured Cao Lei did not back down. Instead, he used his left hand to firmly grip the Gui Xue sword and used his right hand to slash at Shen Yunhao with his broadsword once again!
He also realized that Shen Yunhao's Guixue Sword was of a much higher grade than the Kuangsha Blade. As long as he could force Shen Yunhao to abandon his sword, his combat power would be nothing to fear.
Shen Yunhao didn't expect his opponent to dare to resist Guixue Sword with his bare hands, but he reacted quickly, twisting his body in mid-air and kicking his opponent's side of the neck with his right leg.
Attack where the enemy must defend!
But the next moment, Shen Yunhao felt as if he had kicked a steel plate, and the broadsword really hit Shen Yunhao!
"Snap!"
With the sound of ice crystals shattering, Shen Yunhao was once again blasted more than ten meters away.
Fortunately, he didn't loosen his grip on his right hand and managed to retrieve the Guixue Sword.
Looking up, Cao Lei noticed a metal ring had appeared around his neck, protecting the gill patterns on both sides.
While it's true that gills are a weakness of sharks, this is an inherent weakness and doesn't mean that other methods of protection are ineffective.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you might not believe it, but not long ago someone wanted me to help her put on a collar... Yours actually looks quite similar!"
"All you do is talk the talk!"
Cao Lei watched as the crack stretched from Shen Yunhao's chest to his lower abdomen, blood still seeping from beneath the ice crystals. He sneered, "Do you still have the strength to fight? Why don't you kneel down now, apologize, and promise not to provoke my wife again, and I might let you go!"
"puff!"
Shen Yunhao laughed out loud again, at an inopportune moment.
"Honestly! My nephew uses that reverse psychology tactic much better than you do!"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the ice crystals on his body thickened again. "Don't worry, today... I want to eat shark fin!"
