"Last year fought at Sanggan source, this year at Cong River channel. Washing soldiers' banners in the sea waves, releasing horses on the snowy grass of Tianshan. A ten-thousand-mile long march, the whole army grows old…"
A ballad, ancient and majestic, began to flow from Luo Hao's moon-lute-like beautiful and melodious voice.
A strong magical wind rose, continuously sweeping through the entire arena space, even shaking the recently stabilized divine power barrier.
Pressed tightly to the ground, her whole body stung painfully from the violent air. Sora could not stand up at all; if he tried to lift himself even slightly, he would immediately be blown away by this strange magical wind.
[Divine Might of Vajrapani], [Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl]—although only two powers, probably the fewest among all god-slayers, the genius Luo Hao combined them with her martial arts and Taoist magic to unleash their full power, defeating all opponents without equal!
"The Xiongnu cultivate by slaughter, since ancient times only white bones and yellow sand fields are seen. The Qin family built cities to avoid the Hu, the Han family still has beacon fires burning. The beacon fires never cease, the wars never end…"
Sorrowful and heroic, Leader Luo Hao sang more and more passionately. The magical wind grew stronger and fiercer.
Seeing Erica and the others struggling outside the barrier, Sora knew this could not continue. If the strong magical wind destroyed the divine power barrier, not only would he be in danger, but Erica and the others would definitely be seriously injured, and nearby towns would be damaged as well!
The Lord said — "Give the sinner punishment! Smash the back and bones, pull out the hair, dig out the brain, trample the blood-mixed earth with your feet. O swift and elusive one, break the covenant and deliver the hammer of punishment to the sinner!"
Divine power surged, and Sora spoke the summoning spirit words to call forth the [Boar].
"Roar!!!"
The earth trembled, and the huge form of the wild boar burst out of the ground. Two enormous sharp tusks pointed to the sky as it howled toward the heavens!
Thump thump thump…
Without Sora's command, the wild boar already knew its summoned mission. As a divine beast, it had no mercy or tenderness. It strode forward with its massive body, charging and trampling toward the Cult Leader sister.
Although the demonic wind was extremely fierce, it was nothing to the wild boar's huge and heavy physique.
A cold gleam flashed in a pair of beautiful eyes. With Luo Hao's mental command, the demonic wind instantly dissipated, all transforming into sonic shockwaves that struck the wild boar's body simultaneously.
"Ugh…"
A miserable howl. Although the wild boar could ignore the demonic wind, it could not defend against the sonic attacks. Even with its thick skin and tough flesh, it twitched in pain.
However, perhaps because it was truly a divine beast, the pain caused by the sonic shockwaves did not bring the wild boar down. Instead, it only further provoked its ferocity.
Filled with endless hatred and rage, the wild boar roared and charged at Luo Hao again.
"Hmph, a mere divine beast dares to be arrogant? Then let me show you my true form!"
The [Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl] had little effect on the wild boar, but the Cult Leader sister was not discouraged. She snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in her expression.
"Radiant sun, blazing light! Spirits of heaven and earth, Supreme Lord, by the urgent decree!"
Chanting the spirit words, Luo Hao activated the power of her [Divine Might of Vajrapani] again. But this time, it was not to enhance her own strength, but to summon something!
A huge black shadow appeared behind Luo Hao. At first, it flickered like a mirage, blurry and wavering, but soon it became clear.
Having stood up again, what appeared in Sora's sight was a strong, half-naked giant.
A neat shaved head, a stern expression, a muscular body, rough clothing on the lower half, radiating golden light all over!
Sora recognized this giant — it was one of the Vajra Guardians standing at the gates of Buddhist temples!
Luo Hao had said that her power of monstrous strength was stolen from the pair of A-un Nio guardians, who are the Vajra Guardians. Because the wild boar was such a huge creature, she summoned the manifestation of a Vajra Guardian to deal with it?
Thump thump thump…
Before Sora could think further, under Luo Hao's control, the Vajra Guardian giant moved. Despite its enormous size, it showed no clumsiness or sluggishness, but was extremely agile, taking a few strides to reach the wild boar.
In its crimson eyes, a flash of blood light appeared. The wild boar, with its two huge sharp tusks aimed forward, charged ferociously at the Vajra Guardian giant, seemingly trying to ram and break through it.
However, to the astonishment of both the wild boar and Sora, the Vajra Guardian giant twisted its foot and skillfully dodged the wild boar's tusks. At the same time, a fist the size of a house slammed down hard on the wild boar's head!
Boom!!!
"Ugh…"
A tremendous crash and a mournful cry. Under the Vajra Guardian giant's punch, the wild boar's body collapsed to the ground, its entire head sinking into the earth!
Not giving the wild boar any chance to get up, the Vajra Guardian giant stepped on its head with one foot and then swung its pair of golden iron fists like meteors, relentlessly striking the wild boar's body.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Continuous explosions rang out, and the ground trembled violently. Watching the wild boar being beaten like a sandbag with no ability to resist, Sora was somewhat dumbfounded!
Wuwuwu…
The roars turned into mournful whimpers, and eventually, the wild boar even began to cry!
Sora almost got angry to death. You stubborn pig, I originally wanted you to come out and hold the fort. If you couldn't beat them, I wouldn't have said anything, but at least have some pride—don't be so disgraceful!
Quickly canceling the divine power to let the wild boar return, Sora felt increasingly embarrassed watching the scene.
Boom!!!
Because Sora canceled the divine power, the wild boar's huge form turned into dirt and was smashed apart by a punch from the Vajra Warrior Giant.
"King Kusanagi, your divine beast is really weak. Under my manifestation, it has no power to fight back at all."
"This time, I won't give you another chance. Scoundrel, die under the iron fist of my manifestation!"
The voice of the Cult Leader Sister was full of sarcastic pride. Seeing Sora's miserable state, she felt a wave of satisfaction and vented her anger fiercely!
But that was not enough. This shameless guy dared to do such a thing to her noble self. Although he didn't succeed, the Cult Leader Sister would never forgive him and would make him pay with his life!
Without any intention to talk more with Sora, Luo Hao once again controlled the Vajra Warrior Giant, raising a huge golden iron fist and smashing it toward Sora.
Although she really wanted to personally destroy this guy, thinking that would give the shameless fellow an opportunity, Luo Hao ultimately decided to fight Sora with her manifestation and eliminate him!
"Hmph, Luo Hao, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Sora snorted coldly, feeling extremely annoyed.
Although he liked proud women, he didn't like women being arrogant in front of him. Sora decided that later he would use all his means to severely discipline this woman!
Of course, although disciplining the domineering and proud Cult Leader Sister was quite exciting, the first thing now was to beat her down!
Activating the divine power of [Bull], golden divine light flashed, and Sora suddenly felt a million-fold strength erupting inside him, as if he could tear the sky apart.
He didn't stop there because Sora knew this was far from enough, so he activated the divine power of [Goat] again. The power of [Goat] allowed Sora to borrow the strength of a partner who shared his will and also gave him the ability to control lightning.
Golden lightning flashed, crackling and wrapping around Sora's two fists.
Seeing Sora able to use two divine powers simultaneously, mutually reinforcing each other, Luo Hao on the other side couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.
A slight sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. No matter how much this guy struggled today, Luo Hao swore she would destroy him!
Boom!!!
The giant Vajra iron fist collided with Sora's lightning iron fists, producing a tremendous shock and deafening roar. The surrounding air exploded, creating a brief vacuum.
Boom boom boom!!! Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
It was a full-on fist-to-fist battle. Under Luo Hao's control, the Vajra Warrior Giant could even perform the supreme martial arts she knew, making it an extremely difficult opponent.
However, at this moment, Sora also unleashed his small universe. Except for his hair still being black, he looked like a transformed Super Saiyan.
His fists, glowing with golden lightning, were as fierce as could be. After exchanging hundreds of punches with the Vajra Warrior Giant, Sora dodged the opponent's attack and used the divine speed of [Phoenix] to instantly appear in midair. He then unleashed dozens of punches in a row at the Vajra Warrior Giant's chest.
Tang tang tang tang tang…
Like the sound of a bell being struck, even the giant Vajra Warrior's huge body was forced to retreat continuously, its radiance dimming significantly, as if it was about to collapse.
"Hahaha… watch me smash you to pieces!"
A long laugh rang out just as Sora was preparing to make a final, all-out strike to shatter the manifested form of the Cult Leader Sister. Suddenly, a sharp sound of something breaking through the air came, and an overwhelming sense of danger rose in his heart. Without thinking, Sora quickly dodged with a flash.
Boom! Boom boom!!
Landing back on the ground again, when he saw the other Vajra Warrior giant that had appeared at some unknown time, Sora's previously high-spirited fighting spirit instantly drained away, and his entire face darkened.
"Hehehe… King Kusanagi, don't you know that I actually have two manifested forms?"
With eyes slightly narrowed like a pair of crescent moons, Luo Hao laughed happily.
Luo Hao herself didn't know why, but whenever she saw Sora make such a frustrated expression, she felt especially pleased and delighted inside.
Sora's mouth twitched sharply as he recalled that there were indeed two Vajra Warriors guarding the temple, one on the left and one on the right.
But what was going on now? Could it be that he, Sora, was about to be besieged by enemies? The thought of this fact was somewhat hard to accept…
