Chapter 2127 Confrontation (3)

The battlefield, once desolate, now pulsed with the clash of divine energies. The air crackled with raw power, the scent of ozone hanging thick in the air.

Xiao Shou's white spear, a blur of white light, danced defensively against Bei Cong's relentless assault. Each clang of metal sent vibrations through the ground, threatening to destroy the tomb.

Xiao Shou, his movements smooth and calculated, deflected another blow from the black sword. But this time, Bei Cong followed through with a brutal kick, aiming for Xiao Shou's midsection.

However, anticipation flickered in Xiao Shou's eyes. With a deft maneuver, he ducked under the kick, using the momentum to spin behind Bei Cong.

Ripppp—

In a flash, the white spear transformed. Its solid form seemed to melt, then solidify again, now a long, coiling whip.

Xiao Shou lashed out with the whip, its silvery surface singing through the air. It wrapped itself around Bei Cong's wrist with a metallic snap, momentarily disarming him.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.comph!" Bei Cong, caught off guard, snorted in frustration. He ripped at the whip with his free hand, but the enchanted metal held firm.

Xiao Shou seized the opportunity. With a twist of his wrist, he yanked the whip taut, pulling Bei Cong off balance.

The Northern Emperor stumbled, his face contorted in surprise.

Xiao Shou didn't waste a moment. He lunged forward, the spear whipping back to its original form. A burst of white light erupted from the spearhead, aimed for Bei Cong's chest. Yet, a shimmering wall of emerald green energy materialized just in time, deflecting the attack.

BANG!

Dongfang Lou, her eyes narrowed in concentration, held the emerald vortex aloft. The barrage of orchids from Lan Qinghe had taken its toll. Cracks snaked across the energy barrier, threatening its integrity. Dongfang Lou gritted her teeth, channeling more power to maintain the shield.

Lan Qinghe's relentless assault continued. A storm of pale blue orchids swirled around Dongfang Lou, each petal a tiny projectile of celestial light.

Bei Cong, Dongfang Lou, and Xi Hong were surprised by the appearance of the Storm Spear.

"You are... the Nine Firmament Li Shan?" Bei Cong uttered with a hint of doubt.

Li Shan was a well-known figure as the city lord of the Nine Firmament City under the Yellow Emperor. Although he had never met Li Shan personally, he had heard his fearsome reputation.

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Xi Hong couldn't understand. As far as he knew, Li Shan had long fallen along with the Nine Firmament City. How could he appear here?

Li Shan's laughter boomed again, a sound that echoed through the devastated landscape. "Dead? Now that's a story for another time, my friend. But for now," he pointed the Storm Spear at Xi Hong, the tip crackling with raw lightning energy, "perhaps we can focus on the matter at hand?"

Xi Hong, facing the true might of the Nine Firmament Li Shan, felt a surge of unease. The calm demeanor of the tea-sipping man was completely gone, replaced by an aura of cold, calculating power. The Storm Spear seemed to hum with a life of its own, a hungry predator eager to unleash its fury.

"Looks like we've miscalculated this time." Xi Hong said coldly.

"A common mistake," Li Shan replied, his voice devoid of humor. The silver spear in his hand sparked as he twirled it with practiced ease.

Xi Hong, despite his apprehension, wasn't one to back down from a challenge. His bear form bristled with energy, the air around him crackling with an unseen power. "You want a fight? You'll get one!"

"HAH!!"

With a roar that shook the very heavens, Xi Hong charged. This time, however, he wasn't just relying on brute force. A faint black light emanated from his bear form, swirling around him like a protective aura.

The black light intensified, coalescing around Xi Hong until it formed a complete armor, each piece intricately crafted, adorned with an archaic script that pulsed with otherworldly energy.

Xiao Shou and Lan Qinghe turned solemn. They recognized the armor – the embodiment of Xi Hong's True God form, a manifestation of his deepest understanding of the laws of the earth.

For a True God, achieving a True God form was a monumental feat. It represented the culmination of their cultivation, a physical manifestation of their mastery over the fundamental laws of the universe. Each True God form was unique, reflecting the individual's chosen path and domain.
