144: fighting

The Nether Race powerhouse stared intently at the sky, his aura surging as he unleashed a barrage of attacks from his hands.

The meteor-like rock, trailing a fiery tail, exploded in the sky like a brilliant fireworks display.

This was not the end; immediately following were vines, vibrant green, coiling and extending from all directions.

From a distance, they resembled giant snakes, winding and coiling, binding upwards.

How could the Nether Race Venerables allow this? Various weapons appeared in their hands, unleashing streaks of cold light.

Subsequently, divine mountains suppressed, waves swept, and Geng Metal spikes pierced, leaving the Venerables in a rather sorry state.

However, as powerhouses of the Venerable Realm, none of them were simple individuals; the faces of the dozen Venerables revealed a ruthless expression.

Black mist billowed from their bodies, quickly gathering together to form a black phantom.

The phantom was composed entirely of black mist, its face and form indiscernible, only distinguishable by the two Hellfire (Nether Flames) in its eyes.

Roar!

The phantom let out a piercing roar, and an eerie wind began to howl, wreaking havoc within the domain.

The domain, composed of water and fire, began to shake violently, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.

The Human Race Venerables quickly reinforced it, engaging in a contest of spiritual power.

The phantom continuously flickered within the domain, and faintly, a sharp claw could be seen gradually forming beside its body, emanating a faint, cold glow.

It fiercely swung a claw at one side of the domain, tearing open a crack (rift).

Not good!

Seeing this, the Human Race Venerables manipulated the power of the earth element, forming a thick earthen wall to block the rift.

Swish, swish, swish!

It unleashed a series of claw blades, intending to use this rift as a breakthrough point to shatter the domain.

Soon, the earthen wall was quickly torn open by the claw blades, and energy began to condense in its hand, aiming for a decisive blow!

In desperation, the Five Elements' power intertwined, ultimately forming a beam of light that shot towards the phantom.

This was also the ultimate killing move of the Five Elements Great Array, and its terrifying might caused the opponent's actions to momentarily falter.

It turned and fiercely swung the blood-red claw blade it had condensed in its hand, colliding with the beam of light.

Boom!

The immense impact directly shattered the tottering domain, and even the Five Elements Great Array operated by the Human Race Venerables lost its connection.

But the Nether Race powerhouses within the domain suffered even more, all spitting blood and their auras weakened.

Warden Tang below frowned slightly; the Nether Race truly lived up to its name as one of the Five Great Top-Tier Races, its methods indeed extraordinary.

This battle naturally ended in victory for the Human Race Venerables, although their spiritual power was severely depleted, they thankfully did not suffer too much damage.

Clap, clap, clap!

A somewhat appreciative round of applause echoed in the void.

A black phantom, without any cultivation fluctuations, materialized, its hands continuously clapping.

"My Lord!"

The dozen defeated Nether Race powerhouses, upon seeing his appearance, quickly flashed to his side, bowing slightly and shouting in unison.

"Step down!"

This black phantom was none other than the mysterious powerhouse seated on the throne in the grand hall.

"Tang Feilong, I must say, the formations your Human Race possesses are quite ingenious. In comparison, my subordinates are nothing but a disorganized rabble!"

The black phantom uttered a chilling voice.

"Hmph, Dark Demon, I knew you would come. What, do you want to exchange a few moves with me?"

Tang Feilong's eyes narrowed slightly, he said in a low, somber tone.

"Warden Tang, I know your strength is formidable, but there's nothing my Nether Race wants that it can't obtain!"

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the arena instantly solidified, and the auras of the two gradually spread out.

"These two are quite strong!"

Niu Fei and the group stood in place, watching the spectacle, and commented.

Both of them were at the peak of the Venerable Realm, a rare few in this realm who had no equal.

An ordinary Venerable peak would definitely not be able to withstand a single blow from them; otherwise, Tang Feilong wouldn't be serving as a Warden.

"Grandpa Niu, how do they compare to you?"

The fatty said fawningly, which made the Tall and Thin Man beside him feel a bit helpless.

"Compared to me?"

Niu Fei turned to look at the other party, pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Then they can be said to be a bunch of insignificant small fry!"

His words were not bragging; although he was temporarily still at the Venerable peak cultivation, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm!

But even so, after being nourished by the immortal treasure and evolving his bloodline, his strength was incomparable.

Even if he fought one against two, he could still emerge victorious!

"Look at you, so capable. Why do you brag so much?"

The Big Yellow Dog couldn't listen anymore and grumbled.

Hearing this, Niu Fei laughed, not daring to retort, as he couldn't afford to offend the other party.

Boom!

The void shattered as Tang Feilong pulled out a large saber, splitting the space in two and slashing down at the opponent.

"Hmph!"

Dark Demon snorted coldly, his figure vanishing from its original spot, leaving only a difficult-to-capture phantom that evaded the attack.

Tang Feilong was not surprised; the other party was, after all, on the same level as him, not so easily defeated.

His expression was solemn, not daring to be careless in the slightest. The large saber in his hand continuously brandished, light shining, and saber energy swept across the heavens and earth.

Dark Demon naturally couldn't keep dodging. Murderous intent filled his eyes, and a pitch black (pitch-black) trident appeared in his hand.

He thrust it towards the incoming saber energy. The penetrating power, even from a distance, made the weaker cultivators like the fatty slightly tremble.

Clang, clang, clang!

Streaks of fire erupted in the air; these were caused by the collision of weapons.

"Sky-Shattering Slash!"

Seeing that ordinary moves were completely ineffective against the opponent, Tang Feilong circulated the vast spiritual power within his body, unleashing a sky-obscuring saber light that illuminated the long sky.

"Darkness Thrust!"

Dark Demon was not to be outdone. He raised the trident in his hand and hurled it towards the saber light, piercing through space, its sharp aura permeating the air.

Crack!

The void instantly couldn't withstand this power, continuously shattering and revealing a vacuum.

The figures of the two also retreated rapidly, stopping only after retreating tens of thousands of feet.

Their auras were somewhat unstable; such killing moves were extremely taxing for both of them to unleash.

The result was an evenly matched fight. The two had quite a few dealings with each other and had a deep understanding of one another.

They had even clashed several times in the past, always ending in a draw.

Tang Feilong was also a bit troubled; if the situation continued like this, neither of them would be able to obtain that item.

"Hehehe!"

"Warden Tang, if you keep fighting like this, you won't gain anything. Moreover, this place is not far from my Nether Race domain, and I have already informed the powerhouses of my clan to come."

"If you still don't retreat and fall here, that would be a loss for your Human Race!"

Dark Demon's eyes revealed a hint of mockery, and he chuckled sinisterly.

Hearing this, Tang Feilong also felt a bad premonition in his heart. Based on his understanding of Dark Demon, this statement was most likely true.

Furthermore, his direct superior was too far away and couldn't arrive in a short time.

If the opponent's reinforcements truly arrived, his life would be in danger. Not only for himself, but he also had to consider his subordinates.

Just as he sighed, preparing to lead his subordinates away, a voice suddenly echoed in the arena.

"Warden Tang, since you've come, stay here forever!"
