Chapter 1332: His Father's Strength
Zhang Yangyan's halberd pierced through the netherworld river. Zhang Lie raised Guicang once more as pitch-black genetic energy began to spread over the arena.
"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"
A huge sea of genetic energy covered up the skies, the clouds, the black rain in the sky.
The two combatants looked up at the void, whereupon they found it wholly replaced by a pitch-black ocean.
Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. The entire sea roiled, and lightning crackled amidst the void.
Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning flashed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse.
As Zhang Lie struck, an underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves.
The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.
The netherworld river struck Zhang Yangyan's stellar river in an explosion of pitch-black genetic energy. The halberd pierced through the netherworld river, but not deeply enough.
The netherworld river transformed into a netherworld sea, causing no end of annoyance for Zhang Yangyan.
Starlight glowed and formed golden dragons which exploded in the netherworld sea like blazing suns. Stellar fusion released tremendous amounts of energy as the golden dragons broke through the netherworld sea by brute force. Golden lightning flashed over the sea.
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!"
Guicang unleashed a barrage of sword energy in the form of a blood dragon.
A dragon's roar shook the void as the pitch-black genetic energy turned blood-red. The underworld river roiled, forming a gigantic blood-colored hurricane.
The golden dragon and blood dragon sword strikes clashed against each other in the air. A blood tornado tore apart the stars. Golden radiance shone down on the arena as Zhang Yangyan swept his halberd horizontally through it, summoning golden waves.
"[First Form: Parting the River]!"
Bright sword energy radiated from Zhang Lie like brilliant rays of sunlight. A frightening force descended, energy rumbling and rippling around him. As Zhang Lie swung the blade in his hand, a huge slash of sword energy shot downward.
Zhang Yangyan's eyes glowed with starlight. As though he could predict the future, he avoided the attack and counterattacked with his halberd. Stars surrounded him, falling toward Zhang Lie like meteoric dragons. So bright was the attack that it seemed as though the sun itself were exploding.
Tremendous quantities of energy were condensed on Zhang Lie's blade, forming a metaphysical extension to it thousands of meters long. The white broadsword met the halberd strike for strike.
The ground quaked and space shattered. Ripples of force spread out all over.
The sturdy arena had been reinforced once and again by incredible workings. Despite the earlier four clashes, it had yet to be damaged—but after the confrontation between Zhang Lie and Zhang Yangyan, it began to crack. Stone tiles were flung up into the air.
After the clash of Zhang Lie's sword and Zhang Yangyan's halberd, Zhang Lie then attacked with Hanguang using his other hand. Zhang Yangyan's eyes flared again as he narrowly evaded the attack.
"As expected." Though he had no proof for it, the spar left Zhang Lie all but certain that Zhang Yangyan had made tremendous inroads with respect to time, that he had the ability to predict the future.
"[Shadow and Light]!"
Zhang Lie whirled around. Time suddenly sped up in the vicinity of Zhang Lie. His sword flashed time and time again each strike like a raindrop. Zhang Yangyan's eyes opened wide as he evaded them easily.
A dense forest of sword slashes seemed like nothing more than a gentle breeze to Zhang Yangyan's eyes. He struck with his halberd, like the explosion of the radiant sun, each scintillating beam of light like a sharp blade.
"[Syzygy]!"
A pitch-black sun appeared behind Zhang Lie, and a blood moon by his feet. His aura was magnified tenfold, and a halo of black sun appeared above his forehead. Natural law seemed to warp around him. Runes likewise appeared on the bloody moon by his feet, forming an intricate array.
Struck by the bloody moonlight, Zhang Yangyan's radiance grew dim. Under the black sun, the fluctuations in Zhang Lie's genetic energy were enhanced. freewebnove(l)
Zhang Lie crossed his twin blades. The blood moon resonated with the blade in his left hand, and the black sun with the blade in his right. He simultaneously slashed forward with both blades, forming a huge celestial web.
"[Blade of the Heavens: the Sea Swells]!"
Energy poured out of Zhang Lie in waves, honing the edge of his blade. The pulses of energy struck the sea like a tsunami, devouring everything within.
Zhang Yangyan struck again with his halberd, tearing apart the technique. Guicang, poised and hidden, thrust at Zhang Yangyan's throat.
Guicang was deftly positioned in a blind spot, and anyone else would have found the attack hard to counter, but Zhang Yangyan still managed to counter Zhang Lie's hidden attack.
Zhang Yangyan blocked the blow with his halberd, knocking Guicang aside. As the blade scraped across the haft of the blade, sparks were sent flying. He turned his body to avoid the trajectory of the blade. Guicang swept past his neck, leaving a faint scar on it.
Zhang Yangyan had barely avoided Zhang Lie's killing blow.
Those hunters who could view the future were immensely troublesome to deal with, being able to resolve all manner of feints and killing blows.
Zhang Lie was certainly several levels stronger and more powerful than his father, but Zhang Yangyan had avoided several blows that would have taken anyone else of his status down.
He was as slippery as a mudskipper, and persistent and agile enough to be able to avoid attacks until his opponent made a crucial mistake.
"If technique and strategy both don't work, then I'll ignore them and focus solely on brute strength!"
Zhang Lie's rich combat experience meant that he didn't lose his fighting intent. He chose the simplest, most basic strategy.
Zhang Lie extended his arms, his twin blades pointing at heaven and earth. Guicang and Hanguang shone with blazing light, like the sun and the moon, the yin and the yang. The energy that radiated from the two swords transformed into a heavenly raiment of yin and yang.
"[Blades, Reverberate]!"
The flames of the black sun and light of the bloody moon formed a garment over his body.
A blood dragon materialized around Zhang Lie. Energy poured out of him in waves, honing the edge of his blade. The pulses of energy struck the realm like a tsunami, devouring everything within.
The twin blades Guicang and Hanguang emitted a fearsome aura, shining as brightly as the sun and moon.
