Chapter 1459: Fighting Amidst Wind and Rain

Dou Zhao fixed his gaze upon Zuo Guangshu for a moment,as if astonished by the youth's unwavering resolve.Zuo Guanglie's brilliance was too dazzling; under the blazing sun, the myriad stars faded into obscurity. Zuo Guangshu's talent had been concealed.In the memories of many Chu people, that departed sun seemed to have a younger brother... but the impression ended there.Yet, in this moment, facing him, Dou Zhao, amidst the wind and rain, Zuo Guangshu stood so tall, his gaze so firm.Only now did he dimly realize that the youth who had grown under Zuo Guanglie's wings had begun to face the storms alone.Of course, Zuo Guangshu's fate was a matter for the Zuo clan; no matter how much he cared, there were limits.This merely brought to mind Dou Mian.Although he had no intention of summoning aid for this expedition into the Mountain Sea Realm, he had considered bringing Dou Mian along to explore and help his brother gain some spoils.But Dou Mian had refused to come, his attitude so resolute it surprised him.At the time, he hadn't given it much thought, but now, seeing Zuo Guanglie's brother, he suddenly wondered...What was Dou Mian thinking when he refused such an opportunity?"My apologies," Dou Zhao said softly, then looked at Zen Master Yue: "Then, what is your opinion, Venerable One?"Zen Master Yue was silent for a moment.Then she said, "We can grant you a jade disc."Qu Shunhua's expression changed instantly!Yue Tiannu possessed the clearest vision among the three of them.She had always trusted Yue Tiannu's judgment.And regarding the outcome of this battle, Yue Tiannu was undoubtedly pessimistic...How could this be?How could this be?How powerful was she? How powerful was Yue Tiannu? Zuo Guangshu was also an unquestionable genius.The three of them were joining forces against a single foe; how could Yue Tiannu make such a judgment?She could not believe it, yet she also knew that Yue Tiannu was almost never wrong.Dou Zhao glanced at the silent Qu Shunhua, knowing that Yue Tiannu's decision would be approved by her.And Zuo Guangshu would undoubtedly agree with Qu Shunhua's choice...To be able to obtain a jade disc from the hands of these three individuals by merely reaching out - undoubtedly, only he, Dou Zhao, could achieve this in the entire Mountain Sea Realm.But he still shook his head: "I said, I want it all."He gave Qu Shunhua a chance because he knew Qu Shunhua's innate talent.He gave Zuo Guangshu a chance because of the man named Zuo Guanglie.He gave Zen Master Yue a chance because he vaguely sensed Zen Master Yue's power.Yet, despite all this, despite knowing so much, understanding that the three people before him were by no means simple, not just not simple, but could even be considered rarely seen powerhouses.He still did not yield in the slightest.Because he was Dou Zhao.He did not need to consider how strong his opponents were.The Zhu Yan had vanished.He was determined to seize all of these nine jade discs.The moment Dou Zhao's words fell, the battle erupted.Those standing on the back of the mechanical Garuda were also chosen elites of their time.No one was willing to present the jade disc. Knowing that a peaceful resolution was impossible, none would sit and await death.Zuo Guangshu was the quickest to act.For at this moment, the wind and rain were fierce, the sea below boundless, and he was the River Lord!Battle armor covered his body, his battle robe billowed.Within a radius of ten li, the raindrops falling from the sky all momentarily froze.This was a scene of extreme tension and stillness, transitioning from sudden movement to sudden stillness, leaving behind an infinite lingering power.Outside of ten li, the downpour hammered the sea, creating endless ripples.Within ten li, the fierce wind remained, but the rain had stopped!In an instant, they were controlled by the River Lord, becoming his vanguard.After a moment of stillness, they suddenly moved again.Countless raindrops, all hurtling towards Dou Zhao.The sky seemed to have sprung a leak, with a celestial river pouring down.Innumerable raindrops gathered, all converging and falling with Dou Zhao as their destination, like a colossal funnel connecting heaven and earth.But the raindrops themselves had not merged; each drop possessed its own unique descending force, its own sharpness, its own charge from the sky towards the sea.Countless descending forces collided together.The piercing shrieks merged into a single sound, almost causing instant deafness!Such a technique, such control over water elemental energy...It would be no exaggeration to say that Zuo Guangshu had mastered the peak-level water element killing power within the Inner Mansion realm!The sky rained down, originating from the celestial river, striking down upon Dou Zhao.The momentum was magnificent. That red battle robe with gold trim was like the only remaining ember beneath the dark sky.And Dou Zhao merely drew his saber.This was a world-renowned saber embodying bravery and valor, known as Tian Xiao.This was a man qualified to contend for the title of the strongest below the Divine Arrival, named Dou Zhao.With his saber in hand, the victory he desired required only forward movement.He moved forward, treating the torrential wind and rain as nothing.Amidst the downward rush of billions of raindrops manipulated by Zuo Guangshu, he advanced steadfastly.He did not even raise his head to glance at the sky.He only stared into Zuo Guangshu's eyes, stepping forward, already close, one man charging against three.Crack, crack, crack!The mechanical Garuda crashed forward without hesitation, its beak opening, and a golden light transformed into a spear and shot out, sharp and fierce.Its body pressed close behind the golden light, its wings spread wide, slashing like blades.Zen Master Yue extended her hand, which glowed with a bronze luster, pressing her palm forward. The shield formed by the Brightness Mantra, originally on the verge of collapse, enveloped the three of them. With this press, countless Sanskrit characters surged forth like schooling fish, lingering on the surface of the light. This caused the shield to emit a brilliant radiance, momentarily dazzling like a scorching sun, unbreakable and impenetrable.Qu Shunhua's hand seals had formed even earlier, her hands spread outwards, her ten fingers plucking like a pipa, wisps of green wind swirling between her fingers like nimble sparrows.Within a radius of ten li.Zuo Guangshu controlled the rain, and she controlled the wind.The fierce wind suddenly intensified, condensing into streaks of sharp green wind blades, surrounding them from all sides, dancing chaotically like the movements of the Spring and Autumn period.The three of them and the mechanical Garuda completed their coordination in an instant.Both offense and defense were present, covering all directions.This area, from the high heavens above to the blue sea below, with a boundary of ten li, was completely enveloped in their powerful offensive.Like a scene from the end of the world.And Dou Zhao took another step forward.His radiant figure, beneath the massive funnel-like downward rush of billions of raindrops, amidst the chaotic dance and surrounding cuts of the endless wind blades, before the golden light spear and wing blades of the colossal mechanical Garuda... advanced forward.Why walk slowly?Let the wind and rain be...Let the wind and rain be!His saber moved.But upon a quick glance, his saber was clearly still in his hand, his arm still hanging low.His saber moved?This perception seemed to transform into a startled question.The unchanging scene made the observers doubt themselves.However, in the next moment...The sky split open.This was not a figurative description, but a precise one.It was precisely at this moment that a long, narrow裂隙 opened in the sky.The massive funnel formed by countless raindrops was forcibly divided by this裂隙.Rain fell into the裂隙.In front, behind, to the sides...裂隙 after裂隙 opened in space.The wind blades that had surrounded them from all sides, dancing incessantly.Also collapsed before the sudden spatial裂隙.Countless mechanical fragments exploded, falling like rain.The mechanical Garuda, which itself possessed the combat power of the Outer Building realm, actually shattered in a single exchange.The Golden Light Mantra covering everyone also shattered silently.This was the first of the Seven Fighting Styles of Dou Zhan: Heaven's Punishment.One saber strike revealed eight裂隙!Such dazzling power did not manage to frighten anyone away.Amidst the scattered fragments of the mechanical Garuda and the shattered remnants of the Golden Light Mantra.A tall, sacred figure suddenly solidified, leaping into the high sky.Breaking through the flowing light, the Celestial Maiden descended!Her divine face, perfect figure, and exquisitely beautiful posture unfolded naturally, like a meticulous brushwork painting.The beautiful woman, over seven zhang tall and adorned in magnificent robes, danced with twin swords, slashing in a cross formation, as if to divide heaven and earth.The sword force shattered the heavens, annihilating the approaching enemy.Dou Zhao's figure flickered, already escaping the sword force.Taking a high step, he descended with his saber.The broad-backed, sharp-pointed Tian Xiao saber precisely struck the point where the Celestial Maiden's twin swords crossed.In terms of stature, the seven-chi tall Dou Zhao appeared like a toy before the Celestial Maiden.The four-chi long Tian Xiao saber, compared to the Celestial Maiden's three-zhang long twin swords, was like a blade of straw pressing down on a towering tree.But with this saber strike, the colossal twin swords in the Celestial Maiden's hands were actually sliced apart, no—Severed!Dou Zhao's eyes were extremely indifferent at this moment.The blade of the Tian Xiao saber gleamed with a faint, eerie light.It was this layer of faint light that ruthlessly severed the twin swords condensed from the light of the Celestial Maiden's divine power.And in the next moment, an almost infinite amount of saber light exploded from within the Celestial Maiden.The entire colossal illusory image of the Celestial Maiden actually began to collapse!This scene was too astonishing.The majestic, sacred, and powerful Celestial Maiden, after a single saber strike, collapsed with a crash.The divine image crumbled into dust, the celestial body dissolved into light.This style was named: Annihilation of Divinity.Saber slashes divine power!The blade of the Tian Xiao saber continued to move forward.This prime killing technique of the past five hundred years was unreservedly displaying its killing intent.Rumble!Two Li dragons extended their claws and surged with mist, pulling out the extremely magnificent River Lord's divine chariot from nothingness, precisely catching Qu Shunhua, whose Celestial Maiden form had collapsed.Zuo Guangshu, covered in divine armor, supported his right elbow with his left hand and held his right index finger vertically before his brow.A tidal sound immediately arose.Heaven-shattering waves surged out from behind him, leaping across space and crashing forward.Like an arched bridge, it shielded the River Lord's divine chariot beneath its "arch."And the crashing waves immediately leaped up again, their dense crests struggling and surging, vaguely forming the shapes of dragon heads, as if ready to leap out at any moment, roaring incessantly.Water element dao technique, Thousand Water Dragons Kill!And then, high in the sky, a several-zhang long green barbed whip suddenly condensed, hideous and terrifying, as if held by an invisible divine being.It shattered the air.Aimed at Dou Zhao, it whipped down from above.Water element dao technique, Scourge of the Sea Whip!Although the countless falling raindrops had been cut open and diverted by Dou Zhao, at this moment, under Zuo Guangshu's control, they became the resources for the dao technique, accelerating its formation.A portion of the raindrops transformed into the Scourge of the Sea Whip, while the majority of the raindrops twisted in the air, gathering in one place. This was a truly massive ball of water, suspended in the air, as if it could explode at any moment.But under Zuo Guangshu's perfect control, it continuously contracted and converged... finally forming a full moon!And when the full moon shone, there were ten thousand rays of moonlight.When it illuminated people, it had already killed them.Precisely, the Arrow of the Moon!Ji Shaoqing had a divine power called Waxing Crescent, whose form of killing was the Arrow of the Moon.This water element dao technique, named Moon Rises from the Sea, was created with reference to the divine power Waxing Crescent. Although its power was not as great as the divine power, under the control of the River Lord's divine power, it was still quite considerable.However, this was merely the beginning.In Dou Zhao's astonished and somewhat amazed eyes, the overwhelming water element dao techniques were reflected...It was as if a nest of water element dao techniques had exploded!Dense water element dao techniques surged out like hornets.At the moment of Qu Shunhua's Celestial Maiden collapse, Zuo Guangshu displayed his sufficiently astonishing water element talent.In a single thought, he unleashed eighteen water element dao techniques in succession, mutually reinforcing each other, like a continuous hell.With Thousand Water Dragons Kill, Scourge of the Sea Whip, and Moon Rises from the Sea, these three top-grade A-rank water element dao techniques as the core, supplemented by fifteen lower-grade A-rank water element dao techniques, he truly completed a dazzling and magnificent dance of dao techniques with his Inner Mansion realm cultivation!But...Dou Zhao's astonished gaze turned to one of regret.Ultimately, his cultivation was insufficient, his experience still shallow...Dazzling but not practical enough, magnificent but not powerful enough!The Tian Xiao saber was merely lightly raised, moving from lower left to upper right, drawing across the air like this!Rip!It sounded like fabric being torn.But what was being torn was space, it was the sky covering this place.Around his body,裂隙 after裂隙 opened in space.What Thousand Water Dragons Kill, Scourge of the Sea Whip, Moon Rises from the Sea... all shattered, unable to approach him!A single saber strike shattered the myriad dao techniques in the sky.The endless water elemental energy in this space all collapsed.Dou Zhao walked forward, walking towards the River Lord's divine chariot.Amidst the scattering light of the shattered dao techniques, he stared directly into Zuo Guangshu's eyes."Such a performance is indeed something to look forward to in the future, but today, you are still not enough."Saying this, he delivered a vertical saber strike straight ahead: "Far from enough!"A total of thirteen spatial裂隙 surrounded the entire River Lord's divine chariot at this moment.A single Heaven's Punishment strike, intent on punishing and eliminating the two from the field.During the Yellow River Meeting, his Heaven's Punishment saber could only cleave a single heavenly裂隙, but now it could create eight, nine, or even a maximum of thirteen裂隙 in one strike!How could a person like him not advance a thousand li every day?How much time had passed now? He was still in the Outer Building realm, naturally not the Outer Building of yesterday.Back at the Observing River Platform, he and Chong Xuanzun had used all their means, ending in a mutually destructive battle, hailed as peerless.Many people felt that Chong Xuanzun had only recently entered the Outer Building realm, while he was already in the fourth stage of the Outer Building realm, and his future should not be as broad as Chong Xuanzun's.But with the limited vision, wisdom, and understanding of those ordinary people, how could they understand him, Dou Zhao?Since he was willing to remain in the Outer Building realm, it was naturally because there were more possibilities in this realm!Who said only the Celestial Mansion realm could be peerless?Who said that having established the four buildings and grasped the Dao path was already the limit of this realm?Those commoners, how were they qualified to define the word "limit"!Where he walked, that was the limit; where his saber struck, that was the end!At this moment, the sky was silent.The fierce wind and rain outside the ten li radius also seemed to have no sound.Zen Master Yue had already completed her dao incantation, and the light of the super-grade dao technique gathered in the sky after the myriad dao techniques had dispersed.But there was still some distance, about to fall but not yet fallen.The terrifying heavenly裂隙 had already enveloped the River Lord's divine chariot.As if in the next moment, it would disintegrate the people on the chariot.Just at this moment, above the River Lord's divine chariot, behind Zuo Guangshu, who was like a deity, a hand reached out.It was a smooth, beautiful, flawless hand.It extended from behind Zuo Guangshu and lightly brushed the air.It smoothed out the entire thirteen heavenly裂隙...Please read: m.bqg999.cc
