You may have dodged quickly.
The corners of Sun Wu's mouth slowly curled into a cold arc, resembling an icy blade in the dark night, heralding the return of a storm. He flicked his fingers, instantly conjuring a dazzling sphere of light, akin to a falling star, which once again hurtled toward Su Chen with ferocity.
"Ruyi Jingu Bang, go!" Su Chen responded steadily. With a low shout, Ruyi Jingu Bang was released from his grasp, rapidly expanding in mid-air to become a towering pillar that carried the force of a roaring tsunami. It collided head-on with the incoming sphere of light, and in that moment, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were engulfed by endless flames and radiance. The explosion was deafening, and shockwaves rippled outward.
However, this was merely the prologue.
Ruyi Jingu Bang did not pause; riding on the momentum of the explosion, it surged forward like an enraged dragon emerging from the sea, striking down toward Sun Wu with unstoppable force.
With a thunderous crash, Sun Wu was sent flying, crashing into the ground and creating a deep pit as dust billowed up, obscuring the sky. Yet astonishingly, Sun Wu slowly rose from the debris. Though his clothes were somewhat disheveled, he bore no injuries and radiated an indomitable fighting spirit. "Interesting; truly an unexpected treasure. Soon enough, it will belong to me."
A hint of greed laced Sun Wu's words as he wore a peculiar smile. "In light of your generous offering of this treasure, I promise to leave you a sliver of life as a reward."
His voice carried an undeniable authority. At the same time, he waved his right hand gently, and a long sword appeared out of thin air—its body crimson with hidden dragon motifs swirling around it—exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. It was none other than the legendary Ancient God artifact: Longyuan Sword!
"Don't think you're the only one with divine weapons."
Sun Wu spun Longyuan Sword lightly in his hand, unleashing a powerful force capable of shaking the heavens and earth. He sneered repeatedly, his gaze sharp as a hawk's.
With another wave of his hand, dark clouds gathered ominously in the sky. A massive green gourd appeared in mid-air, towering like a mountain. Its surface shimmered with an ancient and mysterious glow; it was none other than the legendary Ancient God artifact: Jiuzhou Gourd.
Such displays revealed the unfathomable depth of Holy Temple's resources. Even in the vast Great Xia Empire, only one Xuan Yuan Sword served as its national treasure; yet here was Sun Wu effortlessly summoning two divine artifacts—one could only imagine the shock this would evoke.
The emergence of Jiuzhou Gourd was so formidable that even Su Chen had to take it seriously. He internally compared its power to that of his own Yun Yi Xian Jian and found that it could rival it.
At that moment, Su Chen noticed that the seemingly unremarkable Xiao Hulu above him began to sway gently, emitting a faint glow as if it had developed a keen interest in Jiuzhou Gourd. An inexplicable connection quietly formed between them as Xiao Hulu spoke with pride: "Little one, that gourd has some merit; go and bring it under your command."
"Oh? Does it threaten you?" Su Chen replied with a faint smile, teasingly.
"Hmph! What a joke! Among all gourds in this world, who dares to act arrogantly before me?" The entity within Xiao Hulu exuded confidence without question.
In this exchange, Sun Wu could no longer hesitate. He pointed his sword at the sky and unleashed a terrifying sword energy capable of tearing through space itself. The sword light roared like a dragon as it surged toward Su Chen; wherever it passed, space seemed to be ripped apart by its overwhelming might.
Facing this thunderous strike, Su Chen's eyes sharpened instantly; he showed no intention of retreating. His spiritual energy surged around him like tumultuous seas.
At the same time, he noticed that Xiao Hulu above him seemed to react subtly to Jiuzhou Gourd as if eager for action.
Since you are so confident, let's see what you can do, Su Chen thought to himself.
Ever since absorbing the stone, Xiao Hulu had hardly made a move. Su Chen was also curious about what kind of power it possessed now.
