Chapter 1672 - 1655: As You Wish
Seeing Xiao Hairong erupt like this, Xia Lalan’s eyes were also filled with seriousness. In an instant, her fighting spirit was ignited. Since entering the Divine Change Realm, she hadn’t had a chance to fight a satisfying battle. Now encountering such a golden opportunity, how could she miss it? Thinking of this, she erupted as well.
Only to see a faint white Gang Qi emanating from Xia Lalan, but unlike Xiao Hairong, her Gang Qi’s range was slightly smaller. Moreover, her Gang Qi wasn’t primarily destructive. The area it covered actually pushed back Xiao Hairong’s Gang Qi slightly, and everything that had been destroyed began showing signs of revival!
Next, Xia Lalan didn’t think much and immediately charged towards Xiao Hairong. In an instant, her speed exploded to the extreme, like a faint white shadow approaching Xiao Hairong at an incredibly terrifying speed...
How could she be so fast!
At this moment, Xiao Hairong was a bit bewildered. He hadn’t expected Xia Lalan’s speed to be so fast, even surpassing that of a typical Human Immortal Realm powerhouse. If he weren’t injured, such speed wouldn’t be much of a threat to him. But the problem was, he now only had the strength of the late stage of the Divine Change Realm, and this speed gave him a sense of crisis for the first time.
But admitting defeat like this was still impossible. At this moment, Xiao Hairong coldly eyed Xia Lalan. He knew that trying to dodge wouldn’t work, so for him now, the best strategy was to crush the opponent with absolute strength.
Having decided on this strategy, Xiao Hairong was even less likely to dodge. As Xia Lalan was about to close in, he swung his fist. He could see that Xia Lalan’s own strength was certainly inferior to his, so the power of this punch was instantly magnified to the extreme, aiming to settle Xia Lalan with one strike.
His fist was enveloped with white Gang Qi. Though he hadn’t used Fist Aura, standing there waiting with leisurely ease, his overwhelming presence far surpassed Xia Lalan’s. This punch, simply put, could easily take down any Divine Change Realm powerhouse, so he was confident Xia Lalan could never withstand this punch of his.
Seeing such a fighting style from the opponent, Xia Lalan’s eyebrow twitched. She certainly knew what plan the opponent was playing — wasn’t it just to fight to the death with a hard punch? Thinking of this, she was about to dodge away, but just as the thought emerged, Lin Feng’s voice appeared in Xia Lalan’s mind.
"Against such an opponent, there’s no need to be afraid. You can handle it. Let me teach you a method: when condensing your Gang Qi, shape it into a pyramid and apply it to your hands. This can catch the opponent off guard." Lin Feng naturally wanted to train Xia Lalan a bit, so at this moment he began advising Xia Lalan on how to fight and how to defeat an opponent stronger than herself.
After receiving Lin Feng’s guidance, a smile suddenly appeared on Xia Lalan’s face. She had already foresaw that this unconventional fighting method would certainly cause the opponent to suffer a silent loss. Thinking of this, Xia Lalan suddenly stopped the action of dodging away, watching Xiao Hairong approach her with wide eyes, and meanwhile, white Gang Qi began to continually condense over her fists.
"Seeking death!"
Xiao Hairong looked at Xia Lalan standing there so casually, and even seemed to want to fight him. He couldn’t help but sneer, simultaneously intensifying his offensive. He wanted to first crush Xia Lalan with a thunderous force. Anyone daring to underestimate him, Xiao Hairong, must die!
In just this instant, Xiao Hairong’s fists swelled significantly, and the white Gang Qi quickly transformed his fists into massive battering rams, making those who saw them tremble with anxiety.
Moyan looked at Xiao Hairong at this time, gently sighed, and shook his head. Xiao Hairong’s strength was indeed extraordinary, but now Xia Lalan had Lin Feng guiding her from behind. No matter how formidable Xiao Hairong was, it couldn’t save him. Everything would be revealed after the exchange.
In a flash, Xiao Hairong’s attack was about to hit Xia Lalan. But just as Xiao Hairong’s battering ram-like fists were only an arm’s length away from Xia Lalan, she suddenly moved. Only to see Xia Lalan’s hands suddenly rise, perfectly meeting Xiao Hairong’s fists, and unknown to Xiao Hairong, two white pyramid-shaped Gang Qi had already been condensed over Xia Lalan’s fists.
Xia Lalan’s action was too fast; by the time Xiao Hairong noticed it, it was already too late...
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and the scattered Gang Qi immediately shot outwards, accompanied by a rumbling sound. At this moment, Xia Lalan’s pyramid-shaped white Gang Qi was like an ice pick breaking through solid ice, continuously breaking apart Xiao Hairong’s Gang Qi, with an unstoppable force seemingly about to break Xiao Hairong as well.
Heavens!
Xiao Hairong was stunned at this moment. He had never heard of such a powerful method of combat. It looked simple, yet its actual force was terrifying. Even though his strength was superior and he held the initiative, the opponent managed to break his attack. If he didn’t leave now, he feared the two pyramids in the opponent’s hands would spell his demise!
Thinking of this, Xiao Hairong unhesitatingly shouted, "Explode!"
In an instant, the Gang Qi on Xiao Hairong’s fist exploded. An extremely intense force pushed both Xiao Hairong and Xia Lalan flying back, creating a crater nearly a mile in diameter where they had been fighting. Everything around was devastated, except Moyan, who remained standing in place, protected by a layer of Gang Qi.
Xiao Hairong had no other choice. He knew that if he retreated, Xia Lalan would certainly pursue him. Hence, he chose to self-detonate his Gang Qi. Although he would be injured, it was controllable. Moreover, his strength surpassed Xia Lalan’s, ensuring she would suffer severe injuries, allowing him to easily defeat her.
In Xiao Hairong’s view, the young girl opposite him was truly unimaginable. Such methods were heaven-defying, unmatched even in the Immortal Realm. This young girl couldn’t be allowed to grow, or few would be able to handle her. It baffled him how Earth could produce such a genius!
Yet, while Xiao Hairong pondered these things, Xia Lalan was not as he imagined. Xiao Hairong’s Gang Qi had exploded, indeed sending her flying. But at the last moment of the explosion, following Lin Feng’s guidance, she merged the pyramids in her hands into one, redirecting the explosion outward. She was merely overwhelmed by the immense pressure, thus thrown back, but without sustaining any injuries.
"This method of handling Gang Qi, you should have already grasped. It’s a small technique, useful in battle, allowing Gang Qi to transform into various forms to attack the enemy. This requires you to experience and feel which attack method can kill the enemy. I am merely guiding you. Specific aspects need you to fight and rely on your own intuition to battle!"
Seeing Xia Lalan quickly react to Xiao Hairong’s Gang Qi explosion, Lin Feng felt gratified. Unable to move, he could only communicate with Xia Lalan via Divine Sense. He encouraged her while guiding her. When Xia Lalan mastered this unique method, she would be unbeatable within the Divine Change Realm.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s voice in her mind, a blissful smile appeared on Xia Lalan’s face. Lin Feng’s guidance gave her new insight into combat. A flood of previously unimagined ideas emerged in her mind, immersing her in indescribable sensations.
In a flash, the dust settled. Just as Xiao Hairong was about to continue his assault on Xia Lalan, he was shocked to find Xia Lalan unscathed. The result was so surprising his jaw nearly dropped. At such close range, despite being at the Middle Stage of Divine Change Realm, Xia Lalan was uninjured whereas he sustained some damage. This was simply incredible!
Glancing at the unmoved Moyan, Xiao Hairong realized today he likely wouldn’t escape calamity. Unable to handle even Xia Lalan, what could he do against Moyan, who was observing nearby? If Moyan and Xia Lalan attacked together, he would surely die!
Realizing this, the desire to flee blossomed in his heart — if he didn’t run now, he feared he’d truly perish here...
But just as Xiao Hairong prepared to escape, Xia Lalan suddenly opened her eyes and said to him, "You have no chance to run. If you can defeat me, I could spare your life."
Indeed, that was Xia Lalan’s intention. She urgently needed a battle, one of life and death. Such combat couldn’t be achieved by sparring with Moyan; she was too familiar with Moyan and they cherished each other like sisters. Xiao Hairong was the ideal opponent, and she wasn’t about to let him leave.
After speaking, Xia Lalan’s figure suddenly shifted, appearing instantly beside Xiao Hairong. She wanted him to know that in front of her, he had no chance to escape.
"You..."
Originally hearing Xia Lalan’s words, Xiao Hairong was ready to flee for his life. However, before he could act, Xia Lalan appeared by his side, causing his brow to twitch in surprise. He hadn’t expected Xia Lalan’s speed to be so swift. With such elusive speed, any thought of escape was mere dreaming.
Seeing he was out of options now, Xiao Hairong resolved to fight Xia Lalan to the death. To think of killing her was fantasy; his only hope was to defeat her to preserve his own life. Thinking of this, he shouted at Xia Lalan, "Fine, as you wish!"
