"Think you're the only one with a trump card?" Zhang Ergou coldly stared at the incoming palm strike.
His hands moved incessantly, and he uttered strange incantations.
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoed, and then, Zhang Ergou pushed his palm forward.
Suddenly, a phantom golden dragon shadow surged into the sky, exuding a ferocious aura, and roared as it charged towards Jiang Hao not far away.
"What?" Jiang Hao's expression immediately changed. He stared in disbelief at the oncoming dragon shadow. The formidable power it exuded was even stronger than his Giant Palm Strike.
The roaring dragon shadow was like a real, ferocious giant dragon. Just looking at it from afar made his scalp tingle.
"Damn, this kid Zhang Ergou had a hidden move?"
Xiao Qingyu was so stunned his mouth hung agape.
"This move is terrifying. The oppressive aura from that dragon is so strong!" From afar, the spectators on the stands felt a profound shock.
"He didn't go all out against me last time?" Lin Yueru secretly marveled. This was also the first time she had seen Zhang Ergou unleash such a powerful and domineering magical technique.
The other disciples ranked in the top ten on the stands were too shocked to speak. Even if they withstood such a fierce attack head-on, they would still suffer considerable damage.
Not only the disciples on the stands, but even the elders seated on the main platform all rose from their seats.
"Chunyang, impressive! You've actually taught such an outstanding disciple!" Several elders who had a good relationship with Chunyang Sanren looked at him with envy.
"It's all the kid's good luck. I didn't do much, haha!" Chunyang Sanren chuckled heartily, no longer concealing his pride.
Qiao Yunyan also looked at Zhang Ergou on the stage with surprise. She hadn't seen him use this attack when he had Lin Yueru spar with him last time.
"Junior Sister, your judgment is excellent!" Tian Dao Lao Ren was once again astonished by Zhang Ergou. "With this Dragon Shadow spell, few below the Golden Core stage can withstand this attack head-on!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Senior Brother, to be honest, I also didn't expect this kid to be so extraordinary. Today, he has given me many surprises," Chi Yu also expressed surprise, but the smile on her face was enough to indicate her good mood.
Bang!
On the battle stage, the dragon shadow finally collided with the massive palm strike. Immediately, the palm strike disintegrated, and the dragon shadow only weakened slightly.
It then continued to charge furiously towards Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao's face turned pale. He stared blankly at the approaching giant dragon, even forgetting to defend himself.
Roar!
Bang!
Ah!
Pfft!
Several distinct sounds occurred almost simultaneously. Jiang Hao, who was standing, was blasted backward. During his retreat, Jiang Hao continuously spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Damn it!" Jiang Hao, who was flying backward, landed and quickly got up. The heavy blow had injured him considerably.
Clang!
Before Jiang Hao could stabilize himself, Zhang Ergou, wielding his long spear, pressed forward.
Bang!
Enduring another injury, Jiang Hao struck the body of the ghost spear Tian Wen with his palm, causing Tian Wen to resonate with a constant clang. He himself was jolted and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Zhang Ergou, well done! Beat him to death, let him be arrogant." The chubby Xiong Bao excitedly stood up and shouted, his voice filling the entire arena.
"Pfft, still the number one true disciple of Qiuyang Peak? That's all you've got?"
"You usually act all high and mighty, pretending to be the best in the world!"
"What, you can't even beat a Foundation Establishment mid-stage Zhang Ergou now? Weren't you so smug just now?"
Chubby Xiong Bao finally vented the anger in his heart. When he first saw that Zhang Ergou would be fighting Jiang Hao in the second round, he had been worried for quite some time.
Wang Teng, Xiao Qingyu, and the others stared at the furious chubby fellow with astonishment. They even moved their bodies, creating some distance from him; it was too embarrassing.
This chubby fellow was too wicked. Did he learn from Zhang Ergou? It truly was a case of birds of a feather flocking together.
On the battle stage, Jiang Hao had no time to pay attention to the shouts. He was solely focused on dealing with Zhang Ergou's attacks.
In the blink of an eye, their roles had reversed. Zhang Ergou had become the aggressor, while Jiang Hao, who had been looking smug and superior, was now being overwhelmed and could barely parry.
As he retreated, Jiang Hao's expression grew more sinister. He was the number one true disciple of Qiuyang Peak, a prominent figure among the top ten outer disciples, and one of the prodigies of the Misty Sect's outer sect.
Now, he was being pursued and attacked by a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator who had just experienced a fierce battle. Not only was he in pain, but his face also felt burning hot.
With this thought, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes, and he hardened his resolve.
While retreating, he bit his finger and quickly formed hand seals. Rushing spiritual energy surged from his body.
Ah!
Jiang Hao let out a loud cry. Immediately, a bloody palm print appeared before him, exuding a terrifying and eerie aura.
"Blood Condensation Palm!" Jiang Hao whispered. The palm print vanished from his front like a phantom.
The next moment it reappeared, it was already in front of Zhang Ergou.
Seeing this, Zhang Ergou's brow furrowed. He felt the terror emanating from this seemingly small but powerful bloody palm print.
In an instant, Zhang Ergou's internal spiritual fire surged to his palm, and he unleashed a punch.
Bang!
The Fire Spirit Fist and the Blood Condensation Palm collided in mid-air, creating a deafening sound. Both Zhang Ergou and Jiang Hao were forced to retreat.
Pfft!
Pfft!
As they retreated, both of them spat out blood. This exchange had injured both of them significantly.
"He actually blocked it?" Jiang Hao glanced at Zhang Ergou in surprise. Zhang Ergou's toughness had long surpassed his expectations.
This kid not only had strong resilience but also seemed to possess a variety of attack methods.
That fiery fist print was definitely the nemesis of his Blood Condensation Palm. Many Foundation Establishment disciples had been defeated by his Blood Condensation Palm.
Yet, Zhang Ergou not only blocked it head-on but only spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Is that all you've got? Your 'prodigy' title, like Song Zhinan's, wasn't obtained through the back door, was it?"
Zhang Ergou sneered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The coldness in his eyes intensified.
Clang!
The iron spear scraped against the bluestone ground, emitting a ringing sound.
Zhang Ergou suddenly launched an attack, thrusting his spear directly at Jiang Hao's throat.
Jiang Hao dodged backward, sidestepping to strike the spear body with his palm. The palm strike actually knocked the iron spear away.
"Zhang Ergou, you can't even hold onto your own weapon. Are you also at the end of your rope?"
With one palm strike, the iron spear was dislodged. A gleam of joy flashed across Jiang Hao's face. He hadn't used his full strength in the previous attack.
Therefore, he concluded that Zhang Ergou was currently in a weakened state.
So, he decided to risk injury and unleash a full-power palm strike at Zhang Ergou once more.
"Is that so?" Zhang Ergou smiled faintly, a hint of mockery hidden in his eyes.
"Ah!" A scream rang out...
