Chapter 160.2 : Divine Platform! (Part 2)
"Damn it! How dare you! How dare you kill him outright!"
Wu Kui's eyes widened, his burly body trembling faintly.
This was not fear—it was rage pushed to its absolute limit!
The veins at the corners of his eyes bulged as blazing fury nearly burst forth from his gaze.
Chu Ge had been far too calm before delivering the killing blow—so calm it was as if he were merely crushing an ant, without the slightest warning.
By the time Wu Kui sensed something was wrong, Chu Ge had already acted. There was no chance to stop him!
"Die!"
With a thunderous roar, Wu Kui hurled his fists forward. His arms blurred into countless afterimages as terrifying fist-force—like a torrential downpour—hammered toward Chu Ge!
"Good!"
Chu Ge was not alarmed—he was delighted!
Wu Kui's strength was formidable, just right for testing how much his own power had grown recently!
Letting out a long howl, Chu Ge neither dodged nor retreated. He activated his spiritual power to protect his body and charged straight at Wu Kui!
Fist against fist!
Attack against attack!
Terrifying waves of spiritual energy rampaged across the battlefield, forcing many spectators to retreat again and again!
Any one of those flying shockwaves was enough to kill a mid–Third Heaven cultivator with ease!
At this moment, anyone who still dared to watch from close range was at least at the Sixth Heaven realm.
Even so, they remained on high alert, ready to flee at the slightest sign of danger!
Chu Ge and Wu Kui fought with unrestrained ferocity.
At the same time, elsewhere—
"Xiao'er?!!"
The sinister old man, who had been forced to his knees by Ying Qingjue's pressure, finally realized what had happened and let out a shocked cry!
"Argh! Get up for me!"
With a furious roar, the old man's aura linked with heaven and earth!
In an instant, a terrifying surge of spiritual pressure shot skyward, blasting apart vast swathes of clouds above!
Forcing himself to withstand the fear and pressure emanating from Ying Qingjue, he rose from his kneeling position. His spiritual power erupted outward, almost taking on physical form!
The sky-piercing aura and horrifying killing intent intertwined around his body.
Everyone present felt as though a massive mountain were pressing down on their hearts—breathing itself became difficult!
This was a great power.
A great power on the brink of going berserk!
The sinister old man glared at Chu Ge, his eyes splitting with rage. His voice sounded like an echo from the depths of hell, chilling all who heard it to the bone:
"You little beast—this old man will personally tear you—"
"Hmph!"
Ying Qingjue, standing nearby, narrowed her phoenix eyes and let out a cold snort.
The moment the insult left the old man's mouth, Ying Qingjue had already sentenced him to death in her heart!
Facing the rampaging great power, she merely flicked her sleeve.
Brilliant golden spiritual energy infused with the power of Dao laws surged forth!
Like a raging flood, that golden light shattered even space itself wherever it passed!
The old man's spiritual intuition screamed madly in warning. He roared with all his might:
"Divine Platform—manifest!"
In an instant, a radiant, illusory divine platform rose up behind him!
The platform was incomplete, showing that after stepping into the Great Power realm, the old man had yet to make further breakthroughs.
Yet even this small fragment of a divine platform embodied his lifetime of understanding of Dao and law—condensed from pure Dao intent!
At this moment, he summoned it forth to directly block Ying Qingjue's casual strike!
"Hah, a Divine Platform cultivator who hasn't even taken a single true step dares to reveal his platform? Ridiculous!"
Ying Qingjue sneered, raising her jade-like hand and gently pressing down on the void.
In the next instant, wind and clouds converged across the heavens!
"Roar—!"
A sudden dragon's roar resounded throughout the entire Lingxiao Ancient City!
Everyone in the city—regardless of cultivation—felt their hearts jolt as they simultaneously looked up toward the sky.
There, where wind and clouds intertwined, an awe-inspiring dragon head slowly emerged.
