Chapter 160: Chakra Of Death
The Golem trembled under the frenzied attacks of Song Junwan, but it held on it's ground and even retailed. It's heavy palm swept the air before it, destroying the lightening field.
Snake stood atop the head of the Golem and watched everything with a solemn look. Even though it looked as if he had a upper hand in this battle, he felt an uneasy growing in his heart.
Just to be sure, he looked around to find Song Junwan. But it was hard as the whole stage was filled with streaks of lightening as they zapped around, creating fields of lightening.
The whole Coliseum was lit because of it. But fortunately, it held on and there wasn't a single scratch on it.
'Something is wrong!'
Snake jumped down from the golem as he felt his unease growing. Landing behind the Golem, he joined his hands together as a large axe made of hard rock began to form behind him.
The axe continued to grow in size and only stopped when it was big enough to be held by the giant Golem. With the red axe in hand, the Golem looked even more mighty.
The lightening bolts striking it's hard surface increased in number and even the power held in them increased. Before, they could only make dent in Golem's surface but now they were strong enough to blast a chunk of it.
Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators were the top of Qing Empire for a reason. In this realm, they needed to form a Nascent Soul and nurture it, which not only increased their strength but also control over Qi and elements.
That was the two fighters were able to display a power enough to destroy cities. After all, both Golem and the lightening field held the power to bring down and entire city with easy.
Snake looked at the Golem before him and tapped on the ground as more and more Earth Elemental Qi was transferred in it, making it stronger and sturdier.
Satisfied with the arrangements, Snake heaved a sigh of relief. With this level of defence, he was sure even if Song Junwan increased the output of lightening strikes, it would be fine.
'I should also join.'
Thinking of that, he ran using the Golem as a shield and tried to look for Song Junwan. The occasional lightening bolts that fell on him was quickly dely by a Earth wall or the Golem. Itself.
Feeling the remnant aura left behind the lightening strike, Snake felt a chill as he cursed mentally.
'Fuck! Just how is she so strong? If that has landed on me, even if I didn't die I would have suffered heavily.'
Knowing that it was dangerous to go inside the lightening field, Snake backed away and made some distance between him and the battlefield. But he didn't go far away as he still needed to control the Golem.
'Should I make one more Golem?'
Snake wondered but then dismissed the idea. Making this Golem has already taken a huge chunk of his Qi reserves so he didn't want to waste more of his Qi. After all, this Golem possessed strength comparable to that of Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator or a Tier 5 Spiritual Creature.
Just when he was considering if he should let the Golem loose, something shot out from the battlefield. It rose high in the air, leaving behind a trail of purple lightening.
Who else could it be but Song Junwan?
Snake narrowed his eyes as he sensed the danger coming from her. He knew she was going to use a big attack so he joined his hands together and closed his eyes, controlling the Golem at it's full potential. He was also out of battlefield so he wasn't worried about getting hit.
Song Junwan rose higher with lightening speed and only stopped when she was even above the majestic Coliseum. She looked down at the Golem and smiled.
Her hand streched back held her three blades that were joined together to form a circle were rotating like a fan.
She grinned and covered them with her lightening but this time, the lightening wasn't purple but pitch black. It made the space around her shake, as the deathly aura of it spreaded out.
She took a deep breath and swung her arm forward as the lightening coated blades shot shot towards the Golem, leaving behind a strange black trail.
"Lightening Chakra of Death!!!"
Song Junwan shouted, feeling a pressure building inside her. She knew that strike had taken a toll on her as she couldn't use the black lightening yet.
But she used it nevertheless as the Golem was too annoying and because of it, she couldn't even focus on her target.
Snake felt his hair standing up and he hurriedly commanded the Golem to dodge the chakra. But how could the giant Golem who lacked proper mobility dodge a weapon shooting at a lightening speed?
The chakra made of three blades ignored everything and hit the Golem's chest, blasting off a huge hole in it.
But that Wasn't the end as a loud explosion sounded. The Golem was the centre of the explosion so it suffered the most. It couldn't continue to regenerate and fell apart.
Rocks and stones fell on the ground, making thumping noises but both Snake and Song Junwan ignored it.
The battlefield turned silent as the two fighters looked at each other, exhausted. They both had withdrawn their attacks as they knew they needed to preserve their strength.
Snake wiped the corner of his mouth as he glared at Song Junwan. The destruction of Golem had sent a backlash as he couldn't disconnect his connection with it in time. His Qi was in a mess and he knew he couldn't form the Golem again.
'This bitch did it intentionally. She could have destroyed it with her normal lightening but that wouldn't have the same effect.'
But it was fine. He could see that Song Junwan had also suffered from using the black lightening and wouldn't be able to use it again.
If she did however, he doubted he would survive.
"So, do you think I'm strong enough to fight you?"
Song Junwan scoffed as she began to walk towards him.
Snake sighed as he raised his hand. With a sonic boom, his black sword shot out from the rubbles and came to his hand. He held it tightly and smiled.
"You are strong, but still very young."
With that, the two fighters once again shot at each other while brandishing their weapons.
Up on the platform, Ning Xi looked at the battle with a odd look and said.
"So this is a true Nascent Soul Realm, huh. I highly doubt I can beat them."
She was sure she could fight Snake. As for Song Junwan, her lightening were very troublesome so she doubted she would be able to survive that battle.
Lan Ming smiled.
"Elder Sister is finally going all out after so many years. I seen to have even forgotten when was the last time I saw her fighting like this."
Shen Yu nodded.
"She looks so weak and gentle. But she's probably the strongest of you all."
Nobody said anything on that matter as they knew it was just the truth. The only one who could actually fight Song Junwan properly was Ning Xi and even she wasn't sure she would win.
Shen Yu tapped the arm of the throne and said.
"She has gotten a lot stronger since the fight in Wind Flower Sect. But then again, she was poisoned back then so that wasn't really her full extent of powers."
Even he was in awe of this battle. He could have defeated them both easily but that was only because he was stronger.
Ying Yue was calm as always but internally, even she was surprised. She smiled wryly as she thought.
'And here I was thinking of taking revenge on the Elders. This guy alone would have squashed me like a bug.'
Shen Yu noticed the gloomy aura on Ying Yue and shook his head, already having an idea on what she was thinking.
"Don't be hard on yourself, Yue'er. You're young and it wouldn't take long before you surpass him. Beside, you can probably assassinate most of the Elders if you tried."
Ying Yue felt warmth rising in her heart as she smiled.
"Thank you, Master. But death doesn't see age, does it? The world is unfair and it doesn't matter if I have the world's best potential if someone decided to kill me. The only thing that matters is my strength."
Shen Yu chuckled softly. Why was this girl so hard on herself?
"Indeed, you're right. But why am I here for then? Just relax and take your time."
Ying Yue smiled and bowed.
"I will, Master."
Shen Yu looked at her and rolled his eyes. He didn't believe for a second that she would listen.
He shook his head and ignored her as the battle between Song Junwan and Snake was coming to an end already.
