Chapter 673: I Call the Shots
"Hahaha!" Gao Fei burst into laughter. "To think that Li Fire and Drug-absorbing Bugs could be used like this? I'm a genius!"
Gao Fei had initially released the Drug-absorbing Bugs and Li Fire merely to try his luck; he hadn't expected to actually succeed.
"You, my boy, are in luck," the voice of Xuan Jizi echoed in his mind, full of admiration. "The combination of different magical items can yield unexpectedly powerful effects. This is truly an eye-opener, an absolute eye-opener. However, defeating that giant across from you will still be somewhat challenging."
"Today, I'm going to set a record! Unity of Heaven and Man Realm killing the Tribulation Crossing Stage Realm!" Gao Fei soared into the air, both hands gripping the hammer, and with the force of ten thousand jun, he smashed it toward Iron Bull. "Take this!"
"Hey!"
Iron Bull neither dodged nor flinched, raising his Remnant Sword to slash at Gao Fei.
"Buzz!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!!!"
The hammer collided with the Remnant Sword, creating a deafening noise.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Gao Fei and Iron Bull both retreated, neither gaining an advantage.
"Again!" Gao Fei shook his hammer and charged forward with a shout.
"I will definitely kill you today!" Iron Bull, holding the Remnant Sword, confronted him fearlessly.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
"Thud Thud Thud!"
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a hundred moves, evenly matched, with no clear victor.
"Aargh!" Iron Bull bellowed in frustration. He was a Great Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, yet he was unable to deal with a cultivator at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. If word of this spread, he'd undoubtedly be the laughingstock of all! In his rage, Iron Bull started to fight desperately, using a brutal method… abandoning defense and solely focusing on the offense…
"Bang!"
Gao Fei, swinging his hammer from a tricky angle, struck precisely on Iron Bull's lower back with a dull thud. Iron Bull cried out in pain and, gripping the Remnant Sword, he swung at Gao Fei's head. Gao Fei tried his best to dodge, but still got hit by the sword, receiving a long gash on his shoulder, from which blood gushed forth.
"Die!" Iron Bull charged like a madman, slashing and hacking at Gao Fei. Under such an onslaught, Gao Fei gradually began to falter.
Iron Bull, being a practitioner of Body Refinement, could take several hits from the hammer without life-threatening injuries, but Gao Fei was different. He wasn't a Body Refinement cultivator; his body wasn't as tough. Taking a few sword strikes could be fatal.
"Motherfucker!" A fierce light flashed in Gao Fei's eyes. "Even if it costs me my life, I'm going to slaughter you, you beast!" Once Gao Fei toughened up, he was terrifying. "Whoosh!" Iron Bull stabbed with the Remnant Sword from the left. To Iron Bull's surprise, Gao Fei didn't dodge. "Pfft!" The Remnant Sword easily pierced through Gao Fei's arm. Enduring the agonizing pain, Gao Fei raised his hammer and smashed it at Iron Bull. Due to the short distance and Gao Fei's quick strike, Iron Bull couldn't avoid it and had to endure the hammer's blow.
"Bang!"
The hammer struck Iron Bull's shoulder. "Crack!" A crisp sound followed, like the breaking of bones.
"Aah!" Iron Bull roared to the heavens, pulling out the Remnant Sword to hack at Gao Fei's head.
Gao Fei tilted his head, allowing the Remnant Sword to hit his shoulder. Flesh burst open, revealing the bone beneath, "If I'm going to die, you're coming with me!" Gao Fei's eyes bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and smashed the hammer into Iron Bull's chest.
"Crack!"
Another crisp sound, likely indicating broken ribs.
The battle that followed was considerably more gruesome…
The two fought to the death, you chopping at me with a sword, me smashing at you with a hammer. From the outside, Gao Fei looked disheveled, with his flesh and blood blurred, apparently suffering heavy injuries, while Iron Bull showed no visible wounds. However, his insides, his organs, and bones, all received severe damage, even more serious than Gao Fei's.
Gradually, Iron Bull grew frightened, decreasing the intensity of his assaults. He was scared by Gao Fei's insane demeanor; if this went on, he and Gao Fei would surely perish together. This wasn't the outcome he wanted. He hadn't lived enough yet.
Damn it!
Iron Bull cursed angrily. How could Gao Fei be so hard to deal with? The guy was clearly in the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, a whole major realm below me. In theory, I could have crushed Gao Fei by simply lifting a finger. Yet... Gao Fei had many tricky methods, and he fought like a lunatic, completely reckless.
Iron Bull always thought he was mad enough, but Gao Fei turned out to be even crazier than him.
What to do?
Retreat like this?
How would I explain this to Lord He?
Iron Bull was somewhat troubled, unsure of what to choose...
"Eat my hammer!"
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
Iron Bull's distraction, causing a half-beat slow reaction, resulted in his head being hammered. "Buzz!!!" His body shook, and then he plowed towards the ground, "Bang!!!" Iron Bull's hefty frame slammed hard onto the ground. He struggled for a long time to get up, feeling as if his head was about to explode, the pain excruciating, "You... you bastard... using cheap tricks to ambush me... what kind of skill is that..." Iron Bull glared at Gao Fei, wishing he could tear him apart.
"You were distracted, and yet you blame me for ambushing you, truly shameless," Gao Fei said unforgivingly, dropping from the sky and swung the hammer down again.
Iron Bull clenched his teeth, stomped his feet, and then... he turned and ran...
"Huh?" Gao Fei was stunned, then soared after him: "You were acting so tough, why are you running now? If you have the guts, stop and fight me for another three hundred rounds!"
"I'm not feeling well today! I'll fight you another day!" Iron Bull gave himself an excuse.
"Obviously scared of me, yet you cover it up with excuses, really shameless." Gao Fei sneered: "You're at the Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivation, while I am in the Unity of Heaven and Man Cultivation, a whole major realm below you. Yet you're the one being chased by me. What's the meaning of this?"
"Like I said, I'm not well today, which severely affects my performance, that's why you found a gap to exploit. Once I've recuperated, I'll come to take your dog's life," Iron Bull huffed.
"Shameless! Truly shameless! If there was a competition for being shameless, you'd definitely win the championship!" Gao Fei ridiculed: "You look strong, but I didn't expect you to be such a coward! All bark and no bite! What are you even good for!"
"Bastard!"
"Idiot!"
"Trash!"
"Glutton!"
"Piece of shit!"
Spittle flying, Gao Fei cursed with everything he could think of, feeling incredibly thrilled. The opponent was a true Great Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and now was being chased by him. How awesome was that! If word got out, it would shock countless people!
Thrilling!
Utterly thrilling!
So thrilling it could reach the heavens!
"Hey! If you dare, don't run! You scoundrel! Have the guts to stop and have a real fight with me! You useless thing! Being alive like this is just an embarrassment, you might as well knock yourself dead against tofu!" Gao Fei chased with all his might, his form like a cloud, swift as lightning, the distance between him and Iron Bull narrowing bit by bit.
Hammer in hand and a cold gaze, Gao Fei's whole body radiated with a murderous aura. Since you dared to come and assassinate me, be prepared to be killed! Today, I must kill you and use your head to deter those petty crooks! I am the lord of Heavenly Water City. The city should be governed by my word.
