An opponent like Dou Zhao...
How exhilarating.
"Begin."
Simultaneously with Yu Xi’s indifferent voice, a crack tore open in the sky.
Dou Zhao’s Heaven’s Punishment Style!
At the same time, a pure white lunar radiance descended from the heavens, immobilizing Dou Zhao right where he stood.
Zhongxuan Zun began with the Moon Wheel! Lunar light like a prison, confining Dou Zhao!
This was the first time on the Guanhe Platform that Zhongxuan Zun had altered his fighting style, initiating with Moon Wheel Divine Power.
It was clear he highly regarded Dou Zhao. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Dou Zhao didn’t feel his treatment was special because, being Dou Zhao, he deserved such attention; he should be taken seriously by all the top talents under heaven!
Before the name "Dou Zhao," who would dare to be negligent!
He did not resist.
If his opponent didn’t unleash their strongest state, how could they test his Tianxiao Sword?
The Tianxiao Sword spun horizontally in his hand, delivering a frontal slash.
The indifference in his eyes informed all comers that this was the Divinity Extinguishes from the Seven Forms of Battle!
A ghostly glimmer on the blade’s edge sliced through the imprisoning lunar light, giving rise to the sense of sparks flying in every direction.
But what crumbled was the luster of the moon.
This sword specifically targeted Divine Power effects.
To resolve Divine Power with a sword technique, of course, was a cost-effective choice.
But what’s called gain and loss varies with circumstance.
Under such conditions, when actually engaged in consumption, the Light of the Moon Wheel seemed inexhaustible, while Dou Zhao’s Divinity Extinguishes could not be unleashed indefinitely. This attrition was disadvantageous for Dou Zhao.
Both sides had a lucid understanding of this battle.
The opponent was not one to be easily dispatched; indeed, they both needed to be cautious, lest they be the ones "easily dispatched."
Since attrition was beneficial, Zhongxuan Zun would certainly persist in it, accumulating small advantages to build a significant one—an honorable strategy of combat. His well-defined fingers flicked gently through the air as if playing a zither...
Then another beam of moonlight fell.
Targeting Dou Zhao.
Almost simultaneously, the sky crack above Zhongxuan Zun’s head also descended.
Dou Zhao’s own style of Heavenly Punishment was upon him.
The Light of the Moon Wheel and the sky crack closed in on their target at nearly the same moment.
But Dou Zhao’s figure was nowhere to be seen!
With the swing of his sword, he evaded Zhongxuan Zun’s Moon Wheel, eluding even the Divine Power!
In the sword’s momentum, he leaped out of the sky crack, appearing above Zhongxuan Zun, and from above, he struck down with his sword!
This was the Body Soul Decay!
With both body and soul decayed, the life soul rests forever.
However, this terrifying strike was halted halfway through.
A beam of moonlight, like a prison, fixed Dou Zhao in midair!
Zhongxuan Zun initiated the Moon Wheel, casting two beams simultaneously—one targeting Dou Zhao, and the other himself!
It appeared as if Dou Zhao had walked right into a trap.
The preemptive Light of the Moon Wheel precisely locked down Dou Zhao’s form.
Zhongxuan Zun immediately raised his right hand high, and abruptly a blazing sun appeared in the sky!
Stimulated by it, a crescent moon also revealed its course, suspended on the other side.
Above the Arena, rays of light shone enormously bright, with both sun and moon gleaming together!
That brilliance even enveloped the entire World Stage.
Between the solar and lunar wheels, a certain connection took shape.
And so the sunlight grew even more dazzling!
The sun, which had been heavily exhausted in the battle against Na Liang, and whose Divine Power Light had only been briefly nourished, now seemed completely rejuvenated by the stimulation of the Moon Wheel!
Above the heavens, both sun and moon shone, illuminating the Arena.
Within this miraculous spectacle, the vehement sun plummeted, hurtling straight toward Dou Zhao, bound by the moonlight.
Bearing the empowering Power of Zhong Xuan, it pressed down with mountainous force!
The air erupted with explosive sounds.
Bang!
The fervent sun came howling.
At the same time, myriads of gravitational and repelling forces crazily tore at Dou Zhao, impacting his movements, ripping his flesh. Alongside the Moon Wheel’s power, they firmly restricted Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao’s leap through the "Sky crack" and the strike of Body Soul Decay occurred in an instant.
But Zhongxuan Zun firmly captured this moment, instantaneously finishing an attack that merged three Divine Skills.
First confining, then slaughtering—sharply ferocious.
In none of his previous battles had he ever been this fierce, this proactive.
The battle had just begun, and it had already ascended to the pinnacle of the entire Outer Building.
At this moment.
The visible power of the moonlight appeared as a prison, and the invisible Power of Zhong Xuan seemed like a quagmire.
As the relentless sun came howling, the air itself seemed to bear black trails, whether the onlookers’ vision was affected, or the air was scorched into smoke.
The brilliance of the sun was too dazzling at this moment, as if intending to unleash all its stored power in an instant.
Even the moon in the heavens was eclipsed at this moment.
Dou Zhao’s frozen midair silhouette holding the sword was nearly overwhelmed by the blazing light.
It all seemed too slow, but at that time, Dou Zhao still only maintained the stance of half-executing Body Soul Decay.
Everything happened too fast!
Nearly as soon as the Tianxiao Sword had slashed halfway, Dou Zhao’s radiant gaze turned indifferent, his broad-backed four-foot blade slashing horizontally to sever both the enveloping Power of Zhong Xuan and the moonlight.
Divinity Extinguishes, cleaving Divine Power!
Visible and invisible, both were shattered together.
With such a powerful killing method as the Seven Forms of Battle, he was capable of changing his moves so swiftly!
It looked as if his previous slash was merely the precursor to the Divinity Extinguishes.
Had he not completely perfected the foremost Killing Technique of this mortal world, he would not have managed this.
Such proficiency was akin to Jiang Wang incorporating the Purple Qi Eastward Sword Manual into every move.
But comparing the two was to compare incomparables; how could the Seven Forms of Battle compare to the Purple Qi Eastward Sword Manual?
