Second World

Chapter 1729 Chapter 1729. The More the Merrier

?Wong again used the One Thousand Pounds Mountain. The weight increase helped him stop his skidding. He stomped his feet, crushing the ground, and produced an explosive force that shot him back toward Long.

Domon used a more graceful approach. He planted one foot onto the ground and used mana manipulation to tether that foot. His body then spun with that foot as an axis. He turned the momentum that pushed him back into a force that propelled him back to where he came from.

Long suddenly found the two grandmasters were upon him again. He wasn't flustered. He was even grinning at the two's approach. His hands clasped in front of his chest before he extended his two palms in opposite directions again. His palms seemed to multiply as he did that. Roars of dragons and the image of multiple eastern dragons were conjured.

Nine dragons formed of mana manipulation rushed at Domon, and another nine headed to Wong.

Domon swung his glaive that was enhanced by the mana-empowered Ki Weapon. The powerful slash was followed by a blast of energy that was the signature of Ki Strike. This blast engulfed the nine dragons. The impact between the two energies canceled each other out.

Wong dealt with the dragons on his side by using Infinite Lightning Punches. He still disliked using game skills but during their daily bouts, Domon showed Wong how Domon was not averse to incorporating game skills into martial arts executions. Hence, he started to get used to using them as well.

The blurry fists of his Infinite Lightning Punches were empowered by mana manipulation. Each image of the dragons was pummeled until the energy that sustained them was exhausted.

When the last image of the dragons was dispersed, Wong's hands transformed into claws that glowed with eerie light.

Wong's white bone claws attempted to grab Long. At the same time, Domon's glaive came thrusting from the opposite direction using One-word Thrust.

Both their assaults hit only an afterimage. Long's body swayed mystifyingly. Long didn't seem to move overly fast but neither Domon nor Wong was able to pinpoint his true position.

Wong knew Long's Imaginary Bamboo Sways, so he knew its weakness. As in the swaying of the real bamboo grass, its bottom part which was planted into the ground remained stationary. Wong went low and targeted Long's legs.

Long sensed the low assault. He backflipped before his legs were hit. While backflipping, he used Lord's Fist. A giant energy fist came in between him and the two grandmasters.

Wong put his hand together before pushing it forward, discharging a powerful Ki Blast.

The blast collided with the fist.?Although Wong's Ki Blast was empowered by mana manipulation, so too was Long's Lord's Fist. The Lord's Fist was also supported by the power of two classes and was a skill from a special class. Hence, Wong's Ki Blast was doomed to lose.

Luckily, Wong wasn't alone. Domon swung his glaive when Wong's Ki Blast hit the giant fist. An image of a giant tiger's head appeared following his swing. This was Tiger Ki Strike, Tiger Arms Guardian's level 70 skill.

The tiger's head opened its maw and bit the giant fist. The resulting impact caused an energy explosion.

The three martial artists didn't advance after the explosion receded. They just stood and stared at one another. The exchange just now let them gauge each other's capabilities. All three hadn't used their true power yet but Domon and Wong knew from the clash that they were the ones on the back foot.

Long knew it as well. That's why he was giving the two grandmasters a taunting smile. This pissed Wong greatly.

"You, cocky piss of shit! I will teach you…"

"Don't let him rile you up," Domon put a hand on Wong's shoulder before Wong rushed ahead.

"Hehe. Listen to your better, master. You should know your place," Long ridiculed.

When he expected Wong to become angry at his words, Wong instead showed a calm-down expression. This astonished Long. The Wong he knew would have been furious when someone claimed that he was second-best.

The astonishment almost caused him to be late in reacting to an assault coming from his blind spot.

Long turned to where he sensed the assault was coming from. He was greeted by an energy drill that made him feel cold even when the energy was still a distance away. Out of reflex, he put his two palms together where they burst into flames. He swung his hands which formed a flaming blade.

The scorching blade collided with the cold drill. The resulting impact threw his unknown assailant away. He was also forced several steps back.

While fighting the pushback force, Long found that he was surrounded by red flower petals. He sensed that these petals were formed of mana. They were not physical things but he didn't doubt these petals could harm him. As he had expected, these petals started rushing at him randomly.

Long used his iron hand technique to parry the petals, but they were too many. Those he couldn't parry he endured with his body protected by the Golden Body skill. The damage from the petals was so small that they were negligible since Long's golden body was enhanced by mana manipulation, but the assault still irritated him.

"Trivial tricks, face my palms!" Long exclaimed.

He again unleashed eighteen subduing dragon palms. The dragons struck all sides and destroyed all the petals. A girl's scream was heard as a figure was sent flying away.

"Muilan…!" Murong called with worry. She was the one who tried ambushing Long earlier using the Nine Yin Abyssal Finger.

Domon jumped to where Muilan was flung. He caught the girl and they flipped in the air to negate the knockback force before landing safely.

Muilan lost one-third of her HP. She was still unsure what was happening when Domon put her feet back onto the ground.

Murong heaved a sigh of relief after seeing her disciple was fine. She turned to Long with a hostile glare. She had heard about this person. She thought what she heard was an exaggeration. Now, she knew that was not the case.

"Another old-timer who didn't know that her time was up?" Long chuckled in disdain. "That's fine. As I said, the more, the merrier. All three of you will die by my hands today."

Muilan's face turned red. Long completely disregarded her. But from the exchange just now, she knew that Long had the qualification to back his arrogance.

"I thought you said there was no need to call anyone, Master Domon?" Long chuckled.

"I didn't call them," Domon answered.

Domon was telling the truth. Murong was nearby but she was unwilling to go near Domon. She saw Domon and Wong didn't join the battle so she also stayed back. Muilan stayed with her. When Long came and attacked the two, she saw the incident. Hence, she came.

"Doesn't matter to me. As I've said, the more the merrier, but this will still not be enough to save you, people."

With those words, Long lunged at them.
