Chapter 838: Absolute domain

Xiao Luo and King of Blades’ midair sword fight was still going on in ebbs and flows, and they were neck to neck. They would engage in close combat, then break off only to charge at each other again like two wild beasts. The clashes of their blades and the attacks using their True Inner Force caused powerful energy waves to engulf the entire space.

In the time it took for one joss stick to burn, the two fighters paused, then pulled back for a break. They landed back on the ground and glared at each other from a distance of about ten feet apart.

A continuous high-intensity fight took a toll on the fighters and would rapidly use up a substantial amount of True Inner Force. Both Xiao Luo and the King of Blades were breathing heavily with sweat dripping down their foreheads.

“Not bad. You are pretty good! You have passed my test!”

King of Blade’s stern expression had suddenly become a lot more relaxed. He withdrew his sword, turned around, and reached for his wine gourd. He pulled out the stopper and gulped down some alcohol.

Passed his test?

“What do you mean by that?”

Xiao Luo did not understand what he meant. Just a brief fight like that, and that was it? Was it not a battle of life and death?

There were looks of disbelief on the faces of the Light Clan people who were surrounding them. They wondered what was going on. The King of Blades was down with just a simple fight? They wanted the remaining descendant of the Xiao Clan taken out as soon as possible.

The King of Blades gulped down a couple of mouthfuls of alcohol. Then he smiled and said, “If I say that you have passed, then you have passed. The King of Blades here will not make things difficult for you anymore. It is as simple as that. There is no hidden meaning.”

“Since you have finished, then move aside. Let this King do it instead!”

The King of Thunder was a step ahead of the King of War and instantly dashed toward Xiao Luo. He stood in front of the King of Blades and his eyes were on fire. He glared at Xiao Luo and said, “Holy Lord is my Goddess. I cannot believe a b*stard like you fooled her. If I do not smash you up, I cannot get rid of this deep hatred inside of me!”

After saying that, he smashed his war hammer on the ground.

BOOM!

What appeared like giant pythons baring sharp teeth and shrouded within bolts of lightning suddenly shot at Xiao Luo. With one stroke of his war hammer, the King of Thunder filled the entire space with lightning bolts. It made everyone’s hair stand on ends. The clear and bright sky suddenly turned gloomy. Followed by a loud rumble, a purple thunderbolt shot straight down from the sky, combining with the bolts from the King of Thunder. It split in two flashes of brilliant energy and shot straight for Xiao Luo.

“Flashy, but completely useless!” King of War uttered with a scornful look.

In the face of such a ferocious attack, Xiao Luo took a couple of steps back and pulled out his Dragon Saber. The crimson-black ray of light formed by the sword energy met the King of Thunder’s thunderbolt and sliced right through it as if it was air. Unable to break the thunderbolt, it continued on its path, closing in on him rapidly.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

A surge of high voltage passed through Xiao Luo’s body and he felt excruciating pain. Every part of him burned as if countless blades were chopping him up as he lay bound on a cutting board. Every single muscle in his body was in agony.

“Urrgh!”

Blood rose to his throat, and he spat the blood out. Xiao Luo could barely hold himself together as he staggered more than a dozen steps back.

The King of Thunder’s war hammer had arrested his Dragon Saber’s crimson-black sword energy. The gigantic black war hammer was unique, for it could absorb the Dragon Saber’s light energy effortlessly, rendering it ineffective against the King of Thunder.

“Luo!”

Ghost quickly rushed forward to assist Xiao Luo, her apricot eyes filled with anxiety.

“I am fine. Stay back, no matter what happens. Do not come to me!” ordered Xiao Luo. He wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth as he warned Ghost,

“He is right, Little Girl. You cannot take part in a fight like this. You are going to be more of a hindrance than a help if you keep rushing to him like that. God-damn brat will have to protect you,” Duck Emperor added.

Ghost nodded her head to Xiao Luo, and said, “Then you have to be careful!”

“Mmm,” Xiao Luo softly replied.

Ghost headed back with her lovely swaying elegantly as she ran and stopped about hundreds of meters away. Her face filled with anguish.

At that moment, King of Thunder slowly floated into the air. He smiled as he looked at Xiao Luo with a sinister expression, and said, “My war hammer can absorb all kinds of energy. Your saber is just like broken pieces of copper and iron to me. You can stay there and wait for my thunderbolt to turn you into ashes. Haha, haha…”

Without warning, he suddenly shot up into the dark clouds in the sky like a beam of light. The moment he flew into the thick clouds, they started violently churning around like hot boiling water.

BOOM! BOOM!

There was a long, continuous rumble within the heavy clouds, and blinding flashes of purple thunderbolts tore through the sky. Xiao Luo dodged the fiery bolts, moving so swiftly that his body turned into an apparition. A purple thunderbolt landed on a mountain in the Sky city that was about five or six hundred meters high. It turned into dust in an instant.

“Hey, hey, hey… Be careful. Don’t blow my house up!” King of Blades shouted toward the sky with a laid-back look.

King of War gave a scornful look and said, “This guy who plays with thunder can inflict damage on the enemy, but he also causes damage to his comrades. What good is he?”

“It is enough to know and keep it to yourself. It serves no purpose if you say it out loud, for King of Thunder is still one of us. Do not mock him while he is fighting,” King of Blades said with a smile.

King of War sneered and said nothing else.

The King of Swords still kept an aloof and icy demeanor over the duration he was there. It was as if he had nothing to do with what was happening and was merely a spectator.

After dodging dozens of purple thunderbolts, Xiao Luo gritted his teeth and soared into the sky.

Thunder crashed overhead, and powerful thunderbolts flashed across the sky. It was as if he was witnessing the end of the world.

“Come down now!”

Xiao Luo roared, striking with a swing of his saber.

The Dragon Saber’s energy manifested in a crimson-black stream of light that was hundreds of feet long and sent howling winds blowing in all directions. Like a dragon descending into the sea, the dark clouds were violently blown away.

The dark clouds began to disperse, revealing a tremendous gap. Sunlight shone through it, but the gap was quickly covered with dark clouds again.

Suddenly, a gigantic face formed within the dark clouds, and it was easily recognizable—it was the King of Thunder. Around his face, thunderbolts flashed relentlessly, and he looked utterly terrifying.

“Heaven and earth are a part of my domain. You do not have what it takes to beat me. Haha, haha…”

The King of Thunder’s mighty voice reverberated across the sky, and it was difficult to pinpoint where it came from. His thundering voice was God-like, and it was enough to instill fear in anyone.

Xiao Luo refused to believe that he could not bring the King of Thunder down. He gritted his teeth and flew directly into the dark clouds. Xiao Luo evaded all the thunderbolts that were over ten meters long, determined to drag King of Thunder out from the dark clouds. But just as he was about to reach the dark clouds, an invisible electrified net appeared out of thin air. He could not dodge the net in time found himself entangled in it.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Thousands of volts of electricity flowed through his body. It scorched his clothes and ripped them off his body. Xiao Luo fell from the sky in a plume of black smoke like a plane in a nose-dive.

BOOM!

He hit the ground hard, like a falling meteorite. Rocks flew in all directions as dust and sand rose through the air from the impact. It left an enormous hole in the ground.
