One more catty, one more attribute point

"It seems we're still a step behind, beaten to the punch by others!"

Following closely behind the King of Golden Peng, the Sky Wolf Great Lord also squeezed out from the crack. Lacking the information possessed by Qin Shunying, they took the path of the Divine Way. Fraught with danger, although they successfully traversed it, they inevitably wasted time.

After enduring untold hardships to reach the depths of the tomb,

what they saw was a scene like this.

The Sky Wolf Great Lord's heart burned with resentment, and his reddened gaze first lingered on the Golden Crow Corpse.

Then, his eyes shifted slightly, swept over the desert, and settled on Su Heng and Qin Shunying. He had seen Qin Shunying before, having encountered her once before entering the secret realm. But Su Heng, he was unacquainted with such a person until now.

The moment he saw Su Heng,

the Sky Wolf Great Lord was severely taken aback.

Amplified by the Dragon Blood and the augmentation of the Overbearing Martial Body, Su Heng looked incredibly majestic at that moment.

At first glance, the Sky Wolf Great Lord thought he had come across one of his own kind.

But he quickly realized his mistake.

Although Su Heng was bulky and his appearance was fierce,

the aura he exuded bore no relation to demons; it was purely human. It was just that he had tempered his body to a superhuman realm, with dragons coiling and tigers encircling, giving birth to various extraordinary phenomena. Stay connected through empire

"The aura of this man is somewhat strange, Your Majesty must be careful," the Sky Wolf Great Lord whispered.

"Mhm," the King of Golden Peng nodded, his violent aura settling down.

"We meet again, bald bird," Su Heng grinned broadly, his saw-like white teeth exposed in the air, looking ferocious, "I haven't yet settled the score with you for flooding Baihua County. I can't believe you, this fool, dared to show your face in front of me again."

"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I'll allow you to choose your own way to die," Su Heng sneered coldly.

"Arrogant," the King of Golden Peng looked down from on high, his face detached. He held his long halberd at a slant and said coldly, "Your realm is too low, you haven't reached Heavenly Deceit, so you do not understand how vast this world is, the endlessness of creation. When you really step onto that path, then you will understand, seeing me will be like a mayfly gazing up at the heavens."

"Hahaha!" Su Heng burst into wild laughter, stirring up a sandstorm.

In the middle of the sky-darkening black sandstorm, his left arm rapidly swelled with blood, and with a fierce grip, thick veins coiled around his arm like iron chains, running up along his arm to his neck and chin. His eyes bloodshot, his expression was especially ferocious.

"Anyone can talk big, let's see the truth in action," he retorted.

"Then try me!" the King of Golden Peng snorted coldly, spinning his halberd as his wings unfolded behind him. His speed surged instantly, so fast it was unbelievable. Even Qin Shunying, with her heightened senses after her transformation, only saw a faint black light cross the sky.

She was immediately horrified.

If it were her, she'd have probably been decapitated by the King of Golden Peng in an instant.

Next to her, the ground under Su Heng exploded. With a flap of his wings, his bulky body turned into a black light, shooting upstream like a waterfall. The fierce wind swept through, lifting Qin Shunying's black hair. Amidst the dust and debris, the two collided.

Bang!

Su Heng threw a punch, the force rolling out.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the void, and the wild exaggeration of that punch fell on empty space.

On the other side, the King of Golden Peng displayed extreme speed, drawing an arc across the sky. His dark halberd came slashing down fiercely, striking on Su Heng's raised arm. The collision sparked a clash of metal on metal. The halberd was fiercely knocked away, and Su Heng's arm began to bleed.

Striking a blow and gaining the upper hand,

the King of Golden Peng's face grew even more proud, declaring coldly, "Without enough strength, even the greatest opportunity laid before you would be out of your grasp.

What does it matter if I'm late, the Golden Crow Secret Store is destined to fall into my hands, and you're just an inconsequential speck among the millions of souls under my command. Through the long years, I will become a legend, while you will be forgotten."

"You talk too much!" Su Heng was unimpressed and gave a mocking smile.

Whoosh!

His body trembled slightly, activating the Dragon Blood.

His vital energy churned within him like tidal waves, the injury on his arm healing in an instant.

The King of Golden Peng's expression changed slightly, growing more solemn. Then he saw Su Heng suddenly raise his head, electricity filling the void, and in an instant, a long punch was hung across the sky, shattering the air as it came. The King of Golden Peng spread his wings, ready to dodge. But a sudden gravitational force in the void, though immediately pushed away, still slowed down his speed.

The punch grazed his shoulder, large black feathers swept up by the punch's wind and drifting down from the sky.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A sharp pain came through.

The King of Golden Peng touched his cheek and wiped his hand.

Looking down, there was a crimson blood stain on the back of his hand.

"I didn't expect you to have such tricks up your sleeve, I underestimated you," the King of Golden Peng said with a cold laugh, "but unfortunately, I won't give you a second chance. Come at me again!"

He moved up and down, his halberd swinging continuously, charging towards Su Heng.

And Su Heng, taking a deep breath, spread his arms and wholeheartedly threw himself at the King of Golden Peng, bulldozing his way forwards.

In the void,

the two exchanged blows hundreds of times in the blink of an eye.

Su Heng was robust, while the speed of the King of Golden Peng was unbelievably fast.

For a moment,

the two were evenly matched, with no clear winner or loser.

The remnants of their clash swept through, and Qin Shunying, her face colored with concern and her hair fluttering, looked somewhat pale.

Before the King of Golden Peng's arrival, Su Heng had already battled the Golden Crow Remains, so his physical condition was inevitably affected.

And more importantly...

Beyond facing such a powerful opponent as the King of Golden Peng,

Su Heng also needed to expend a great deal of energy to suppress the heart of the Golden Crow. Concentrating his focus, he guided the growth of blood vessels, creating a new cycle within his body to fully integrate the heart of the Golden Crow into his organ systems, transforming it into combat power.
