Chapter 248: The Clash of Power
When Chiyou granted Sun Zhe the Beast Soul of the Eight-Armed Barbaric Dragon, he also taught Sun Zhe some methods for utilizing the War Clan Totem. The War Clan Totem is an incredibly powerful Divine Ability of the Ancient War Clan, and its usage is not simple. Many of the methods require a high level of soul power from the Beast Soul, so Sun Zhe could only use a few of the techniques that Chiyou taught him. One of these techniques involves enhancing physical strength through the power of patterns.
As the two Beast Souls burst forth from his arms, Sun Zhe's sleeves turned to ash, and his muscular arms bulged with terrifying strength. Coupled with the ancient and mysterious beast patterns, Sun Zhe's arms radiated a chilling aura, as if they contained boundless power, evoking a sense of dread in those who beheld them.
Huo Xing naturally noticed Sun Zhe's transformation. Although he had never seen the War Clan Totem, he had heard tales about it. The War Clan was said to be an unmatched race in ancient times, but Huo Xing never believed this. In his view, nothing could surpass the strength of a Barbarian.
"Since you want to compare strength, I'll show you the unmatched divine power of a Barbarian!"
His rough voice carried an overwhelming pride. He had always taken pride in his Barbarian bloodline and did not believe that Sun Zhe could defeat him using some War Clan Totem.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from sight and reappeared before Sun Zhe in an instant. The Blood-colored Giant Axe in his hand transformed into a crimson arc aimed at Sun Zhe, accompanied by an intense flame that radiated heat so powerful that even those far away could feel its scorching intensity.
At the moment Huo Xing attacked, Sun Zhe immediately stepped back. The Lightning Symbol on his forehead flickered to life, and the brilliant Star Point within his Left Eye also sparkled. An unimaginable surge of violent spiritual power flowed into the Black Long Knife in his hand, causing it to emit a blinding purple light.
Sun Zhe had been practicing Sword Technique for several years. Although most of that time was spent exploring on his own, his innate talent for swordsmanship was exceptional. Unlike Thunder Power, which relied on merging with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder through his body, Sword Technique was entirely based on his own Qualification. It felt as if it was ingrained in his bloodline; he always had an extraordinary familiarity and affinity for swords.
Gripping the Long Sword tightly with his right hand, he felt an icy sensation from the Thunder Light flashing along its blade, bringing him a sense of calmness. As he saw the incoming blood-red axe shadow, he slightly tilted his body and traced a peculiar arc with his Long Sword to meet the descending axe blade.
At the moment their blades collided, the terrifying power infused in the Long Sword erupted violently, accompanied by fierce flames and raging Thunder Power.
"Boom! Boom!"
The clash of their weapons produced a series of explosive sounds, causing ripples in the surrounding space as if it were being impacted by this violent energy. At that instant when the thunderous noise erupted, both figures involuntarily staggered backward.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
A series of explosive sounds echoed as both combatants stepped back onto the Void, each retreating exactly thirteen steps without fail. This encounter ended in a draw.
"What is going on? Who exactly is this Sun Zhe? How can he fight to a standstill with Lord Huo? Did that pattern really boost his strength so much?" someone exclaimed in astonishment.
"On the surface, it seems like a draw; however, Lord Huo has actually lost a step. Just now, Lord Huo used his momentum to charge forward while Sun Zhe merely stood his ground. If this continues, Lord Huo may be in danger!" another person countered with concern.
While Sun Zhe and Huo Xing were engaged in battle, many strong individuals from Flame Continent were also discussing among themselves. However, none of them relaxed their expressions; their eyes remained vigilant as they watched the two combatants in the center while gripping their weapons tightly.
"Now it's my turn to attack!"
Ignoring the onlookers, Sun Zhe's eyes were fixed on Huo Xing in front of him. He stepped forward with his right foot, and a Purple Light Sphere flickered out. Using this momentum, Sun Zhe's figure shot forward like lightning to attack Huo Xing, his Long Sword carving an intricate trajectory as it swung down fiercely at Huo Xing.
Clang!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the Void as the weapons in both their hands were anything but ordinary. They showed no signs of wear as they collided violently, unleashing a torrent of power that surged toward each other. For a moment, the Void above Black Cow Plain erupted with terrifying shockwaves, and the violent energy ripples spread outwards.
"Take another strike from me!"
With both hands gripping the hilt tightly, Sun Zhe's eyes were filled with a savage intensity, and his battle spirit blazed like a raging fire. His long black hair seemed to move without wind, and he transformed into an Ancient War God, swinging his Long Sword down again in a bizarre black arc.
Huo Xing's crimson eyes were also filled with fierce battle intent. The fiery power within him turned into a blazing storm that swirled into the Blood Flame Cleaving Axe. The blood-colored Giant Axe became a shadow of blood as it met Sun Zhe's Long Sword once more.
Unmatched force collided at their point of confrontation, and the recoil sent both of them stumbling back a few steps. However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that Huo Xing's steps were noticeably more disordered, and he had taken several more steps back than Sun Zhe.
Yet Sun Zhe showed no intention of letting up on Huo Xing. At this moment, he seemed to forget his Divine Ability and Ancient Blade Technique, becoming a Barbarian who relied solely on brute strength to battle Huo Xing, who was doing the same.
Although both were engaged in a clash of brute force, the ferocious energy was no less than that of Divine Abilities or Martial Arts. The ground within hundreds of feet turned into ruins, and the observing powerhouses retreated hundreds of feet away in fear. While they were anxious about Huo Xing's situation in the battle, none dared to intervene.
Several hours passed. Although Sun Zhe and Huo Xing had not exhausted much spiritual power, they had used up most of their physical strength after exchanging blows hundreds of times.
After hundreds of rounds of combat, Huo Xing was now on the defensive more often than not. His hands gripping the Giant Axe trembled slightly, and even his originally fierce gaze had weakened somewhat. In contrast, Sun Zhe—having fused with two Ancient fierce souls—seemed unaffected; his battle intent remained strong and unyielding as Sword Aura flickered before him, relentlessly pursuing Huo Xing.
This clash of strength represented a battle between the War Clan and Barbarians and was nearing its conclusion.
Seeing Huo Xing showing signs of fatigue, Sun Zhe's eyes burned with even greater killing intent. Memories of the thousands of citizens from Nine Continents Mainland who had perished flooded his mind. Suddenly, red-hot fury shot from his eyes; this crimson glare was wrapped in Killing Intent, surging with endless murderous energy.
"Die!"
With a roar that shook like a dragon's roar, the clouds in the Void seemed to dissipate under this furious shout. All of Sun Zhe's Thunder Power surged into his Long Sword. Under the enhancement of Thunder Law, his seven-foot-long sword bizarrely grew larger in an instant—a massive blade several meters long appeared in Sun Zhe's hand, carrying overwhelming battle intent as it slashed down fiercely.
Huo Xing's eyes widened in horror as he struggled to lift the Giant Axe once more. The massive blade collided with the Blood-colored Giant Axe; the violent force clashed at their edges, sending the blood-red axe flying away while the black blade continued its relentless descent. An overwhelming sense of impending death enveloped Huo Xing’s heart instantly.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of regret, regretting that he should not have challenged Sun Zhe on a whim, regretting that he should not have been overly confident in his own strength. If it weren't for these reasons, he wouldn't be in the current crisis. He could have called his subordinates to join him, but now it was too late to regret.
"No..."
The unwilling roar abruptly stopped as the black giant blade came crashing down. A cold light flickered in the half-Void and the massive head was instantly sent flying. Scarlet blood fell like rain onto the ground, soaking a large area of land.
Huo Xing, the top young powerhouse of the Flame Continent, died just like that, yet another otherworldly powerhouse fell at Sun Zhe's hands. However, this did not extinguish the anger in Sun Zhe's heart. Standing there with a Single Blade in hand, the smell of blood enveloped him. From a distance, Sun Zhe seemed like a bloody Killing God emerging from hell.
"You all should die!"
Without waiting for the Flame Continent powerhouses to react, Sun Zhe turned and walked towards the other people from the Flame Continent. At that moment, the violent Thunder Power erupted without reservation.
"Kill!"
A thunderous shout rang out, but it was not from those Flame Continent powerhouses. Hidden on the outskirts of Black Cow Plain was another group of people, each surrounded by flickering purple Thunder Light, rushing out from all directions. Upon counting, there were no less than fifty powerhouses. The leader held a golden bow; as soon as he released the bowstring, three golden arrows shot out at lightning speed, piercing through the foreheads of three Flame Continent powerhouses in an instant.
Cloudpiercing Bow Li Zhen had brought over fifty Thunder Continent powerhouses hidden nearby. Sun Zhe had not made prior arrangements with them but coincidentally ran into them.
