"Then there's no problem." Huali's figure flickered as she chased after Lan Jue.
Chu Cheng walked over to Lan Qing's side and said in a low voice, "Boss, how long do you think Ah Jue can last against Huali?"
Lan Qing glanced at him. "Huali might not be able to defeat Lan Jue."
"Ah?
Boss, since when did you start siding with your own family instead of reason?
This doesn't seem like your style, does it? "Chu Cheng said in surprise.
Lan Qing said, "If it were you, you would lose without a doubt.
You wouldn't stand a chance at all.
Although Ah Jue isn't a Sovereign yet, he's stronger than one. "
Even Lan Qing had only come to understand Lan Jue's true strength in the past few days. Lan Jue's talent was astonishing. Even without her Harmonious Dual Swords, she was still far stronger than any ordinary peak ninth-rank combatant.
Lan Jue had already walked to the center of the arena. He turned around and looked calmly at Huali.
It was as if Huali's feet were being pushed forward by a wave, and she landed not far away from him.
When he saw Lan Jue, Huali's eyes flashed with astonishment.
This was because, in his eyes, Lan Jue seemed to have instantly become one with the world around him. However, during this process, he felt as if he were out of place. It was as if he were a God King looking down at the earth. It was a kind of lofty arrogance.
This arrogance didn't come from his expression, but rather from his aura. It was as if he were fusing with everything around him, but at the same time, he was repelling everything around him. This feeling was extremely strange.
"Let's begin." Lan Jue nodded at Huali.
Huali smiled slightly and hooked her finger at him, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Lan Jue didn't stand on ceremony. She moved her feet and appeared in front of Huali in the next instant. She lightly slapped her palm toward Huali's chest.
Huali stood there proudly with her hands behind her back.
Seeing that Lan Jue's palm was about to hit him, a layer of pale blue light rippled in front of him.
In an instant, the entire venue turned light blue. It was as if they had instantly entered the underwater world. That feeling made everyone present feel surreal.
Lan Jue's palm seemed to have sunk into a quagmire. His speed was much slower, much slower, and so was his body.
The twisted undercurrent swept upwards, and a powerful sense of separation pulled at his body.
A strange scene played out in the next instant. Lan Jue's entire body suddenly paused, and the palm that she had extended out turned into a fist, which she punched out fiercely.
A strange black and white aura burst forth from his body. It was like yin and yang had been reversed. The undercurrent around him shattered, and the blue light in front of him rippled violently.
Surprise flashed in Huali's eyes. In the next instant, he saw Lan Jue's fist turn blue, and slam into the barrier in front of him.
A strange scene appeared. The water, which was full of fluctuations of the laws, strangely collapsed. It was like a basin of water that had been poured out would naturally fall to the ground due to gravity.
In an instant, the defense became empty.
In a flash, Lan Jue was in front of Huali.
Hua Li's eyes widened in shock. He could feel the power within that fist. It was a power that struck fear into his heart.
However, he was a Paragon. As soon as his defenses were breached, he dissolved into a beam of blue light and vanished. Lan Jue's fist struck empty air.
Huali reappeared ten meters away.
Just as Hua Li thought he'd dodged Lan Jue's punch, the water around him rippled and rippled. Bolts of blue electricity danced around Hua Li's body. Hua Li couldn't help but feel his body go numb. He was shocked to discover that as soon as the energy in his body came into contact with the numbness, it melted away like snow.
What kind of power was this …
It was disintegrating. As a Paragon, his own energy was disintegrating.
It was inconceivable.
Lan Jue didn't pause after the punch. Instead, he extended his index finger and pointed it forward.
Suddenly, a beam of blue light shot out. The tip of the beam was like a sledgehammer, and it slammed into Huali's chest.
Nine Strikes of Taiji!
Huali's entire body was numb, and dodging was impossible.
But in this critical moment, he revealed the power of a Paragon.
The water around him rippled violently, and a towering figure appeared in front of him. A beam of blue and gold light slashed down, colliding with the beam of blue light.
Pfft! The blue light dissipated, but so did the figure.
Hua Li grunted. Thanks to the collision, he was able to shake off the numbness he'd felt.
Chu Cheng watched from a distance, dumbfounded. What was going on?
Was Huali at a disadvantage?
He was His Majesty Neptune!
What a joke.
Lan Jue didn't let up. His body flickered, and he pounced forward. He was like a bolt of blue lightning.
He was surrounded by ripples of water.
However, as soon as they came into contact with the electricity around him, they crumbled and disintegrated.
They couldn't stop him in the slightest. They couldn't even slow him down.
This level of power was beyond what Chu Cheng and Huali had expected.
Hua Li growled, and his eyes flared with a golden blue light. Everything around him began to twist and distort as he disappeared into the vast ocean.
The calm waves of protogenia became violent.
The sea was no longer viscous, but solidified. It surged toward Lan Jue like it was trying to crush him into powder.
The lightning stopped, and Lan Jue's figure reappeared. Around him was a translucent blue shield of light that enveloped his entire body.
No matter how the bluish-golden light squeezed inwards, the moment it came into contact with the blue light barrier around his body, it would instantly shatter and turn into nothingness.
In front of his protective blue light, Laws were completely useless.
Protogenia couldn't penetrate.
A Paragon's greatest advantage over an Adept was protogenia. But now it looked like it couldn't do anything to Lan Jue.
Huali reappeared in the distance. Her face was filled with bewilderment.
"Ah Jue, what kind of power is this?
How can you destroy protogenia?
How can you destroy protogenia? "
Lan Jue smirked. "It's been too long since we've fought. Do you still think you can beat me?"
Huali sniffed. "I haven't even shown my true strength yet. Don't get cocky. Just you wait."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it in the void. A blue halo shot out from his chest, and his entire body exuded a strong divine aura. A golden trident rune appeared on his forehead, and his entire temperament suddenly changed.
The pressure on Lan Jue increased dramatically. The blue light that had been on the verge of disintegration was now much more solid. Although it still couldn't break through Lan Jue's shield, it wasn't as easy to disperse as before.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. "Divine power. That's your family's Neptune's legacy.
Although you're only a Protogenia, with Neptune's legacy you can use some Reflection of Heaven and Earth. Am I right? "
Huali chuckled. There was a flash of golden light, and the trident appeared in her hand. "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to surrender."
As he spoke, he swung the trident in front of him. Rays of golden light flooded the Neptune's domain.
The golden light refracted against the sea, but there was only one target.
The first ray fell upon the blue barrier around Lan Jue. The barrier flickered for a moment, and although the first ray was destroyed, Lan Jue's barrier was visibly weakened.
What power!
Under the pressure, Lan Jue didn't dare hold back.
There was a flash of red light in his hand, and the Celestial Captive Sword was in his grasp.
When the Celestial Captive Sword appeared, the space around Lan Jue suddenly collapsed in a strange way. The suppression of Neptune's domain was instantly dispelled by the gloomy red light on the Celestial Captive Sword. It was as if countless vents had appeared around Lan Jue, and all the energy that was trying to suppress him was released from these vents.
The Celestial Captive Sword circled around his body, and a red circle immediately appeared around Lan Jue. He moved in a small area, and the Celestial Captive Sword in his hand constantly drew circles of red light.
The rays of golden light released by Neptune's trident entered these circles of light, and they immediately disappeared without a trace.
How could this work?
After Huali released his Neptune's legacy, he had already raised his state to its peak. In his opinion, although Lan Jue had some tricks up his sleeve, he shouldn't have been able to resist such a huge realm difference!
But the truth was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
Lan Jue, too, found himself in a strange trance.
Although the pressure Huali exerted on him wasn't as great as the Terminator's, he didn't have Zhou Qianlin to help him.
The Taiji sword unfurled, and the powerful defensive power of Captive and his All-Heaven lightning melted away Huali's attacks.
Neptune's trident was a Paragon's weapon, but it wasn't nearly as good as Captive.
Lan Jue discovered that after yesterday's Harmonious Swords, the fusion between him and Captive had improved to a whole new level. He felt like he was one with the sword, and using the Taiji sword style was like a fish in water.
Captive's control over space also began to seep into Lan Jue's mind.
Sword after sword, Lan Jue and Captive grew more and more in sync. His All-Heaven lightning flowed into Captive, and it was obvious that the sword was strengthened.
The Celestial Thunder contained Immortal Qi, and the Celestial Trapping Sword, one of the Four Celestial Slaying Swords, required true Immortal Qi to unleash its greatest power.
Captive itself was the best of the Banishing Swords, and it complemented the Taiji sword style. The Taiji sword style unfurled.
Not only did it block Hua Li's attack, but the rings of red light also began to expand outwards like a large net made of rings, spreading outwards in a dense manner.
