Chapter 1599: Versus Zi Yao

Three Lives Fist, Three Lives Eruption!

No power could stop the peerless Three Lives Fist, a fist technique Xiang Shaoyun had created himself. That was the fist technique that suited him most, one that could maximize the might of his primal inception energy. One punch for current life, one punch for past life, and one punch for future life. Even the heavens could be reduced into nothingness.

Tragedy befell Lu Meng and Luo Ying. The two could slay Gods when working together, but against Xiang Shaoyun's freakish combat strength, they were on the verge of dying.

Zi Xinghe shivered as he said, "Ho-how did this fellow get so strong?"

A few years ago, Xiang Shaoyun still needed his clone to deal with pseudo-Gods. Now, he could already kill pseudo-Gods with his main body. Zi Xinghe had grown considerably during the past few years and had reached peak Great Saint Realm. However, he still didn't have the courage to face Xiang Shaoyun in combat.

"Those two are truly trash," remarked someone who had remained idle beside Zi Xinghe.

He had a straw hat on his lowered head, covering his appearance. From his voice, one could judge that he was still quite young.

"Boss, you need to make a move, or he really will kill all of us!" Zi Xinghe hurriedly said as he finally saw hope.

The man in the straw hat stood with his back perfectly straight. A bottle of wine appeared in his hand, and he took a swig from it. "How can the direct disciple of a deputy guild master be someone ordinary? Work with the others to deal with everyone else. I'll deal with this fellow."

The man looked to be less than 30 years old. He seemed rather sloppy, but there was no denying that he had a handsome face. If he could get himself dressed neatly, he would absolutely be an extremely attractive man. He was Zi Xinghe's elder cousin, who was also a member of the Guardians Guild. His name was Zi Yao.

Zi Yao was one of the most outstanding cultivators among the Zi Clan's younger generation. He was even more talented than Zi Xinghe and was already an eighth-stage pseudo-God. If he hadn't been holding back for the ancient battlefield, he would have already entered the Rebirth Realm.

He charged toward Xiang Shaoyun like a bolt of lightning. Instantly, he appeared before Xiang Shaoyun, looking like the child of lightning with crackling lightning currents surrounding his body.

"How fast," muttered Xiang Shaoyun.

Even with his impressive reaction time, he still had to admit that Zi Yao was probably as fast as him. This was a true expert.

"As the disciple of a deputy guild master, you should be a member of the Guardians Guild as well. Unfortunately, you did not verify your identity at the guild. Thus, you're not a member of the guild yet. Even if I kill you, I won't be breaking the guild rule preventing fellow members from harming each other," said Zi Yao in excitement.

"Just say that you want a fight. What's the point of beating around the bush?" said Xiang Shaoyun as he took the initiative to attack.

His fist shot toward Zi Yao's chest like a dragon. Unfortunately, he missed.

Zi Yao unknowingly appeared behind him. With a laugh, Zi Yao said, "Decent punch, but too slow. This won't do. Fight me with all your strength. I know you're still hiding your strength."

"You want to witness my real strength? Fine, open your eyes wide and watch," said Xiang Shaoyun without even bothering to turn around. His body moved rapidly.

Sky Measuring Step!

He never feared anyone when it came to speed.

Three Lives Fist!

Xiang Shaoyun could sense the danger his companions were in. He urgently needed to end the battle as soon as possible. After moving to Zi Yao's side, he unleashed a punch with all his strength, threatening to destroy space itself with the punch's destructive prowess.

"How powerful. However, you won't defeat me," said Zi Yao in excitement as layers of lightning covered his fists. He threw his fists out to meet Xiang Shaoyun's punch.

Six Erupting Lightning Fist!

The fists collided, resulting in a terrifying rumble that rippled outward, turning everything around them into powder. Even the nearby remnant souls were reduced into nothingness. Zi Yao was an eighth-stage pseudo-God capable of unleashing the strength of a God. In fact, among all the participants that had entered the ancient battlefield, he was among the 10 strongest participants.

That was why he had been able to clash against Xiang Shaoyun head on. The two were sent flying, with numerous fist prints left on their bodies. Evidently, they were evenly matched in that exchange.

"Haha, this feels great! It has been a long time since I last met a suitable opponent. Again!" Zi Yao howled with laughter before shooting toward Xiang Shaoyun like a flying purple star.

All the ambient lightning energy around them fell under his control and struck Xiang Shaoyun the moment he threw his fist at Xiang Shaoyun. His Six Eruption Lightning Fist was a god-grade technique. With one punch, six eruptions would be created. The destructive ability of this technique far surpassed a regular technique.

With his divine dao eyes, Xiang Shaoyun could see the trajectory of Zi Yao's attack and his openings. However, Zi Yao was too fast for him to make use of the openings he saw. He was forced to retreat repeatedly, looking like he had lost the initiative of the battle.

Numerous lightning bolts descended upon him with the might to destroy any pseudo-God. However, not only had they failed to cause Xiang Shaoyun any pain, they had all been absorbed.

"Is retreating the only thing you can do? Six As One!" Zi Yao failed to hit any of Xiang Shaoyun's vitals, so he exerted more strength in his attack, instantly sending out six punches. Six explosions followed each punch, creating a scene akin to the simultaneous explosion of 36 stars. The profundity of lightning contained in these attacks was destructive enough to kill even a first-stage God. Even a second-stage God would have to retreat before such an attack. That was Zi Yao's true strength.

"Now! Chaotic Spacetime!" Xiang Shaoyun's eyes opened wide as he used his palm as a blade against Zi Yao's opening.

Yin and yang swirled, unloading a large amount of the lightning energy's destructive prowess. Even so, it still managed to cause a large amount of damage to Xiang Shaoyun. However, he ignored the damage and unleashed a slash that threw time and space into chaos, giving one a misconception that time had simultaneously paused, reversed, and accelerated. Zi Yao was stunned, allowing Xiang Shaoyun's hand blade to reach his body.

Whoosh!

The hand blade struck like a sword, and blood spurted out of Zi Yao's body. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to press on, the lightning energy left on his body by the punches exploded, blasting him away.
