Chapter 1355 – War between the Jizhou’s Most Powerful Warriors

An Zheng felt a large amount of iron element being poured into his body, causing his entire body to become heavier and heavier. Everyone believed that the power of the Swordlock Pavilion lay in the word sword. But in actuality, the strongest thing about the Swordlock Pavilion was that word ‘lock’.

Tie Kuangran raised one of his hands, and his body involuntarily floated up.

“I thought you had some skill.”

When Tie Kuangran saw that An Zheng actually did not have any strength to fight back, and only had a bit of strength in his mouth, he felt a little disdain in his heart.

“I’ve seen too many people like you. How many people boast that they can definitely become the best in the world, but in reality, it’s just a joke. What makes you different is that your joke is bigger. ”

“My previous opponents...”

An Zheng floated in midair, his eyes still calm and his mouth still carried a light smile: “Even after thinking that you took advantage of me, you reacted the same way. Mockery, disdain, pride … Do you know that up until now, I have been through hundreds of battles, and if I were to lose a battle, I wouldn’t be standing in front of you. ”

Tie Kuangran’s expression changed. He did not feel any change in An Zheng, but An Zheng’s confidence had started to make him uneasy.

His palm started to continuously increase its power, attempting to break An Zheng’s body. It should have been very brittle, but no matter how hard he tried, An Zheng still looked like that.

“Do you feel like something is amiss?”

An Zheng floated there, and something black flew out from every pore of his body. It was the iron element that had entered his body before. These iron elements were refined into extremely sharp steel needles, and then shot towards Tie Kuangran like a storm. With a grab of his hands, all the needles stopped in midair and slowly turned, aiming straight at An Zheng.

“You want to attack me with my strength?”

Tie Kuangran snorted. As he clenched his hand, the steel needles quickly condensed into an iron spear that was a few metres long, and pierced towards An Zheng’s chest. With a “pa” sound, An Zheng grabbed the iron spear half a meter in front of him. That iron spear was like a living python, constantly struggling to fly out of An Zheng’s hands. Unfortunately, An Zheng’s hands were like iron bars, preventing it from flying out.

“To reach the pinnacle of an elemental power, you are a smart person.” On the surface, you look very direct and tough, which means you don’t have that many Mind’s Eye. But in reality, none of these people are as smart as you. ”

An Zheng held onto the iron spear and said indifferently, “You were the first to stand out because you clearly knew that even if you were to lose, you would not be mocked by the people of the world. Moreover, that bet doesn’t count as much in your eyes … Where is the Swordlock Pavilion? In the mountains, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an ordinary person to find the Swordlock Pavilion. Back then, the Swordlock Pavilion’s Ancestor set up the Heaven Slayer Earth Destruction Great Formation as the Swordlock Pavilion’s protective formation, so you have nothing to be afraid of. If I lose, I won’t have anything to do with your Swordlock Pavilion, right? ”

A purple light flashed in An Zheng’s hands, and the iron spear suddenly released a purple flame. The iron spear turned intay of rainbow and flew towards Tie Kuangran, one could tell in an instant. Tie Kuangran extended both his hands, and the countless black powder in front of him formed a gigantic round shield. The speed of the process was extremely quick, those people who were staring at the pikes thrown over by An Zheng, did not even notice when the iron shield was formed.

With a clang, the long spear collided with the iron shield. Under the immense force, Tie Kuangran’s body involuntarily slid backwards, and his feet rubbed out two deep grooves on the ground … The iron spear spun rapidly like a drill bit. The iron shield that Tie Kuangran was pushing with his two hands turned more and more red, and witu sound, a hole was burned through the center of it.

Tie Kuangran tilted his head back to give the iron spear back. He originally thought that the iron spear would fly past him quickly, but he never expected that when the iron spear arrived in front of him, he would suddenly clench his hand.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A lightning storm formed from purple lightning exploded. Violent energy was released without restraint. The iron spear was just a carrier, it was not scary at all, what was scary was that An Zheng hid the power of his Heavenly Thunder Shower inside the spear.

At such a close distance, how could Tie Kuangran avoid it?

After a violent explosion, black smoke rose into the sky. The intense explosion created an air wave that blew everyone outside the contest ground into disarray. This place was protected by the powerful array, but it still could not completely stop the power of the Heavenly Thunder Shower. Those with weaker cultivations were directly knocked out, and they couldn’t even stand up.

Amidst the black smoke, a red object flew out and landed heavily on the ground. At the place where he landed, the solid stone slab was directly smashed into pieces. The surrounding people all stared with wide eyes, most of them thinking that An Zheng’s destructive strike was already enough to kill Tie Kuangran. Even Li Moyang and the others were considering whether or not they would be able to withstand sucowerful strike from An Zheng at this distance.

The answer was obvious. No one would be safe from such a great distance. N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

“Someone who can kill the Nine Saints and Ning Xiaolou is indeed terrifyingly strong.”

“That’s right, I’ve long said it before, An Zheng is definitely the strongest, otherwise why would he be so arrogant?”

“That may not be the case. Do you really believe that the grand pavilion master of the Swordlock Pavilion was defeated so easily?”

“Easy? The heck! Can you be honest with me, try to block An Zheng’s attack just now. ”

“I …” Cough cough, of course I can’t, but if Tie Kuangran is killed like that, would Swordlock Pavilion be able to stay alive in the martial arts world for many years?

Just as he was speaking, the hard red object that was sent flying actually stood up. There was burning hot molten metal on its body. After it landed, even the limestone melted. Although it was either magma or molten metal, its temperature was even more frightening than magma.

As the iron water flowed onto the ground, Tie Kuangran’s figure gradually materialized. No one knew how he managed to block An Zheng’s attack just now, but it looked as if he wasn’t really injured. Tie Kuangran who looked like he had been burnt red, gradually cooled down and turned black.

An Zheng threw a punch across the air, and a long purple lightning dragon materialized in mid air. Witoar, the long purple lightning dragon smashed onto Tie Kuangran’s body. Dang … It was a crisp sound, like the sound of a bell being struck. The sound was so loud that it caused everyone’s ears to ache. Those with insufficient cultivation cried out in pain, as streams of blood flowed out from their ears.

The sound wave formed by the sound wave swept in all directions, if not because the contest ground’s array formation had blocked off the majority of the sound waves, it was possible that some of the martial artists who were spectating would have suffered heavy injuries. The strength of these people were way, far inferior to An Zheng’s.

“Interesting.”

An Zheng looked at the black iron man and frowned.

Tie Kuangran’s entire person became iron, looking heavy and rigid, but this kind of person had almost reached the highest defense level. His speed had indeed become very slow. To be able to reduce his speed to such a level in a battle between experts, it was equivalent to losing the ability to attack. However, his defense had been raised to the limit, to the point where even An Zheng’s purple lightning was unable to break through his outer layer of defense formed from fine iron.

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone forcing Tie Kuangran to such an extent.”

Fang Hongyun could not help but be a little apprehensive, “In that one strike of An Zheng’s lightning power, he seemed to have already grasped the lightning power outside this world.”

“Yeah, the lightning power that exists in this world is too rough and impurities are too much compared to An Zheng’s lightning power. His lightning might have originated from beyond the heavens, otherwise it would not be so pure. “That must be something that has already reached the realm of the Lightning Force. I really don’t know how this guy cultivated it.”

“However, from this, it can also be seen that Tie Kuangran’s strength truly cannot be underestimated. Previously, we had all underestimated this person, and felt that his strongest technique was only the Swordlock Pavilion’s Inheritance Swordsmanship. ”

“Can you guys guess, is An Zheng able to win against the unstoppable Tie Kuangran?”

“God knows.”

They were all whispering to each other. In fact, everyone was thinking, what would they do if they were in his place? Then, they discovered that regardless of whether they were facing An Zheng or not, they were all very troublesome to deal with.

“Ultimate Defense, right?”

An Zheng smirked: “Then stand here and wait for me to attack!”

He floated in the air and pointed forward with a single hand. A thundercloud formed behind him as purple lightning roiled about. After a while, an endless amount of purple lightning shot out from within the storm and struck Tie Kuangran one after another. The power of these unending attacks was so great that even a huge city had already been razed to the ground. This kind of power attack, let alone taking too long, could make a large city like the Yancheng disappear in just five seconds. For more than a minute, the mountains that cut through the north and south could be destroyed.

Yang Ji had set up the contest ground’s array on behalf of the Immortal Palace, using the things that the Immortal Palace brought, as well as the purest Immortal energy. But even so, with An Zheng’s level of attack, the array seemed to have reached its limit and could collapse at any time.

Yang Ji’s expression changed as a ball of light appeared in his hand. Following it was the golden image of a mastiff that flew into the array. The mastiff sat down in front of the spell, and the spell formation stabilized.

For a few minutes, the long dragon-like bolts of purple lightning continued to bombard his body. Everyone’s hearts trembled. If they were the ones who were beaten up by sucerrifying heavenly might, they would have already been blasted to the point where there wouldn’t even be ashes left behind from the purple lightning.

“If Tie Kuangran gets beaten like this, he will lose sooner or later.”

Li Moyang scoffed, “Defense after all? I’ve always felt that the ultimate defense is just a show of cowardice. ”

At this moment, a large amount of black stuff suddenly swelled up from the place where the barrage took place, quickly forming a castle-like iron structure. All of the lightning bolts were blocked outside of the castle. At the same time, scorching hot iron spears were raised one after another, aimed at An Zheng from afar, ready to strike.
