Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 796 - 760: Battle Again

"Boom!" A massive cloud of halberd shadows exploded, enveloping Sunx Ce entirely. The dazzling golden radiance was as blinding as the sun. Taishi Ci's overwhelming power, revealed only partially, was already enough to be called terrifying!

"Good timing!" Sunx Ce's eyes lit up with excitement. Without retreating, he surged forward into Taishi Ci's halberd shadows, his body erupting with pure golden radiance like molten gold, smashing straight ahead!

"Bang!" Taishi Ci stumbled back three steps, while Sunx Ce was also forced back, shooting away like an arrow. Yet, the delight on his face showed no sign of fading—this newly ascended warrior had found himself a worthy challenger.

"Since we parted at the Yangtze River, meeting you again feels like fate. But compared to last time, I've grown much stronger." Steadying himself, Sunx Ce grinned at Taishi Ci with undisguised joy. He desperately needed an opponent like this.

"Last time you escaped, but this time, I won't hold back!" Gripping the Sky Piercer in his right hand, Taishi Ci swung it with a mighty flourish, his expression resolute as he stared Sunx Ce down.

"Hold back? Hahaha, let's see what you can do to me this time. Come fight!" Sunx Ce's body erupted with astonishing Inner Qi as he laughed wildly, charging toward Taishi Ci.

Although Taishi Ci couldn't help feeling a secret thrill upon encountering Sunx Ce, he wasn't as audacious. Sunx Ce had grown stronger—a lot stronger. Especially after Sunx Ce unleashed his full power, Taishi Ci's demeanor instantly turned serious.

Taishi Ci's own body suddenly burst forth with a golden glow. Though not as blinding as Sunx Ce's, the depth and pressure emanating from within was no less intimidating.

"Come fight!" Sunx Ce laughed maniacally as he thrust his spear toward Taishi Ci, recklessly unleashing the wild arrogance in his heart. Finally, he had met an opponent with whom he could fully let loose.

This was unlike the Lyu Bu he first met in Jing-Xiang, before mastering his Inner Qi; unlike Huang Zhong, whom he encountered in Jiangling as his Inner Qi began to take form; and far different from Zhao Yun, whom he battled on the Yangtze River when he was still uncertain about his own path.

Although Sunx Ce's techniques were still far from perfect and his Inner Qi had not yet reached its limit, through sheer tenacity and audacity, he could now unleash power rivaling that of any top-tier valiant general. What he needed was an exhilarating, no-holds-barred showdown!

"Die!" Taishi Ci's cold gaze locked onto Sunx Ce's openings. Unlike Sunx Ce, who had recently stepped into this realm and barely reached such heights, Taishi Ci had long since passed the stage of reckless arrogance. He could wield every strand of his Inner Qi with precision, unleashing devastating effects with it.

In that instant, Taishi Ci's Sky Piercer seemed to elongate by several feet. Sunx Ce, who had just evaded the halberd blade and prepared to counterattack, was struck by a sudden sense of danger. He quickly pulled back, but even so, his armor was sliced away in one clean swipe.

"Impressive move!" Sunx Ce laughed heartily, showing not a shred of fear. Seizing the moment, he closed the gap, thrusting his spear at Taishi Ci's waist. It wasn't flashy or exceptionally fast, but it carried overwhelming power and a monumental aura.

"Break!" Taishi Ci spun the Sky Piercer in a full circle, slashing directly against the spearhead. He then attempted to trap Sunx Ce's spear with a reverse swing, but Sunx Ce skillfully leveraged the force, spinning his spear in a great arc before smashing it down toward Taishi Ci.

The two warriors immediately clashed in a ferocious battle. Their golden auras collided violently, sending them both flying backward. As they hit the ground, neither hesitated—both abandoned their mounts and took to the air, resuming their battle midair. The golden radiance from their Qi condensed into golden armor, while their weapons shimmered with a resplendent glow.

"Fall!" Taishi Ci unleashed a powerful strike that sent Sunx Ce flying back. The Sky Piercer emitted a golden Light Blade over a hundred meters long, slashing ferociously at the retreating Sunx Ce!

"The same move again? Break it!" Sunx Ce's spear erupted into dazzling golden light, shattering Taishi Ci's Qi Blade with a single thrust. Without pause, he shot like a streak of light toward Taishi Ci.

"Perish!" Taishi Ci mimicked drawing a bow with his hands, and countless golden streams of light suddenly coalesced on the bowstring. In an instant, they erupted as thousands of fine golden threads, sharp enough to cut through steel, enveloping Sunx Ce's path.

"I knew you'd use that move!" Sunx Ce laughed wildly, switching the spear between his hands in one fluid motion. A golden phantom remained on his right hand as he hurled the weapon with all his might. The spear pierced through the dense golden threads blanketing the air and shot straight toward Taishi Ci. "I've been waiting for this—take my spear!"

"Thud!" As Taishi Ci released his arrow-like technique, he had no time to react before a spear aimed directly at his chest shot toward him with deadly precision.

In desperation, Taishi Ci rallied his remaining strength, slashing down on the golden spear with the Sky Piercer. He had hoped to deflect it, but the spear exploded upon contact, unleashing a fiery golden cloud that devoured him in an instant.

The entire golden spear detonated upon meeting Taishi Ci's attack. The searing golden flames and shockwaves consumed Taishi Ci's surroundings entirely.

The deafening explosion stunned every soldier present. Sunx Ce's army erupted in jubilant cheers, while Taishi Ci's trusted aides watched the glaring golden light in the sky with hearts clenched in worry.

"Why hasn't he emerged from the blast?" Sunx Ce fixated on the golden light in the sky, half-narrowing his eyes from the intense glare. Even he found it difficult to look directly at that light from such a distance.

The radiance dissipated quickly, but even as it faded, Sunx Ce saw no sign of Taishi Ci tumbling to the ground or reduced to ashes. Ridiculous, he thought—Sunx Ce couldn't even entertain such a notion. Based on his understanding of Taishi Ci, anything that couldn't kill him wouldn't finish Taishi Ci off either.

As the smoke cleared completely, Taishi Ci stood resolute in midair, shielding his eyes with his right hand. Despite the numerous large wounds on his body—and even more minor ones—Sunx Ce realized with shock that Taishi Ci was not bleeding at all.

Slowly lowering the hand shielding his eyes, Taishi Ci gazed coldly down at Sunx Ce. Though that last strike was powerful enough to take half his life, there were techniques in the world known as secret techniques. After being severely injured by Yann Liang in Jizhou, Taishi Ci had meticulously developed a secret technique specifically to sustain himself in battle.

"Sunx Ce, it hasn't been long, yet you've grown so powerful." Taishi Ci calmly activated his secret technique. The gaping wounds on his body healed rapidly, and his previously diminishing aura surged higher and higher, surpassing his peak and showing no signs of slowing down.

"How is this possible?" Sunx Ce muttered to himself in disbelief as he looked at Taishi Ci.

"Impossible?" Taishi Ci sneered. At this level, what was the point of talking about what was possible or impossible? Suppressing all his injuries quickly, Taishi Ci once again returned to his peak state—no, he had exceeded it.

"Whether possible or not, every wound you've inflicted on me today, I will repay in full!" Taishi Ci roared toward the heavens, his speed suddenly increasing to an unimaginable degree. In an instant, he appeared before Sunx Ce, the Sky Piercer brimming with an unstoppable force as he slashed down, sending Sunx Ce plummeting from the sky. (To be continued.
