Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~~~
Those Tongue Swords tore the air apart with sharp shrieks, streaking in an instant toward him. Wang Xiaoqiang, in the True Body of the Son of Heaven, didn't dodge at all; he simply swung his two Grasp Stars and Moon hands, lightning flashing razor-sharp upon them, slapping straight toward those incoming Tongue Swords.
Bam bam bam bam...
Each time the Grasp Stars and Moon hand slapped into a Tongue Sword, it exploded with a thunderous bang, batting those Tongue Swords flying away. But while he was knocking the swords aside, Wang Xiaoqiang's Grasp Stars and Moon hands trembled slightly, and a stab of pain shot through them—clear proof that the Lip Sword was no small thing.
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't show a trace of it on his face. If he let Chi Yao see, she'd definitely keep spamming Lip Sword attacks, and his Grasp Stars and Moon hands might not be able to take it. He only put on an easy expression and laughed loudly, saying, "Empress Chi Yao, your red lips, your brother has accepted them. Your ********, your brother tasted that too. Hahahahaha, the flavor's not bad at all, I hope you give me more." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, his Grasp Stars and Moon hand suddenly stretched out and clenched, ignoring the pain in his palm as he grabbed a Lip Sword in his hand, then brought it to his mouth and kissed it. "Hahaha, smells great. Not bad. Send more."
Empress Chi Yao saw Wang Xiaoqiang's True Body of the Son of Heaven looking completely relaxed, and couldn't help feeling secretly shocked, thinking his Grasp Stars and Moon hand could easily counter the Lip Sword. She immediately halted the launch of Tongue Swords, and instead swept a Hand Gesture. The distant Lip Spear reversed and flew back, launching a sneak attack at Wang Xiaoqiang from behind.
Wang Xiaoqiang had already taken one hit from the Lip Spear and been badly wounded; the pain had put him on guard. When he saw Empress Chi Yao's Hand Gesture sweep out, he instantly spun around, just in time to see that Lip Spear shooting in, its speed terrifying.
"Didn't think you, Empress Chi Yao, were into ambushes too." Wang Xiaoqiang sneered. As the Lip Spear neared his body, his Grasp Stars and Moon hands closed together in front of him, clamping that Lip Spear in his grip.
The Lip Spear seemed to have a Spirit of its own; under Empress Chi Yao's Spell Technique it struggled madly, like a fish clutched in one's hand, thrashing and trembling.
Wang Xiaoqiang tightened his grip. Lightning blasted across the Grasp Stars and Moon hand. The True Body of the Son of Heaven suddenly twisted, and he hurled the restless Lip Spear in his hand straight at Empress Chi Yao.
Whoosh~~~
Repaying her with her own weapon, that Lip Spear stabbed toward Empress Chi Yao, blindingly fast and utterly unexpected.
Empress Chi Yao paled in shock. Seeing the Lip Spear about to reach her, her red lips parted and she chanted an Incantation at lightning speed. Just as the Lip Spear was about to pierce her, it suddenly exploded apart with a boom.
After all, that Lip Spear was her own Spell Technique; a Spell Technique can be released, recalled, or dispelled. She used a marvelous Incantation to dissolve the stabbing Lip Spear.
What she didn't expect was that, as she dispelled the Lip Spear, the True Body of the Son of Heaven stepped forward, instantly closing the distance. The massive Grasp Stars and Moon hand, like a mountain range, reached toward her body with one great grasp.
Empress Chi Yao's face went deathly white, fear flashing in her eyes. In the instant that giant hand grabbed for her, the Seven-Color Sacred Robe on her body flared, bursting into seven-colored radiance. That rainbow light formed something like a huge luminous hedgehog, making it impossible for the Grasp Stars and Moon hand to get a solid hold on her…
But the Grasp Stars and Moon hand was extremely accommodating. Even though it couldn't grip Chi Yao tightly, it could still keep her under control. At that moment, the five fingers, each huge as a mountain peak, suddenly shot out beams of light: one white, one green, one black, one red, one yellow. The five rays linked together, gathering into a single mass that spun into a five-colored light pillar. Lightning was clamped within that pillar as it surged toward the hedgehog-like seven-colored radiance.
Boom~~~~
The two lights collided. The five-colored radiance was blocked by the seven-colored light, thunder rumbling upon it as the lightning within the five-colored glow slammed again and again into the seven-colored radiance, pounding it dimmer, as if about to smash that seven-colored light apart…
Empress Chi Yao knew Wang Xiaoqiang had Cultivated the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique. But no matter how powerful the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique was, it was still a Great Power Spell; as a Great Sage herself, she should have been able to handle it easily. She never imagined that the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique would actually carry lightning, its power multiplied, to the point it could suppress her Seven-Color Sacred Robe.
Her jade-like face turned white on the spot, full of tension, her eyes brimming with boundless terror as her gaze turned toward her Pet Beast, as if begging for help.
The Pet Beast hesitated for a moment, then flew toward Empress Chi Yao, heading for the palm of Wang Xiaoqiang's Grasp Stars and Moon hand. From the looks of it, it was acting like a moth flying into the flame…
"You're looking for death too." Wang Xiaoqiang snorted coldly. His other Grasp Stars and Moon hand shot out with a lightning grab, snatching that Pet Beast into his grip. Caught in Wang Xiaoqiang's Grasp Stars and Moon hand, the Pet Beast let out a terrified scream. "Little Qiang, spare me—Senior, spare me…"
This actually caught Wang Xiaoqiang off guard. Ever since this Pet Beast appeared, it had been shrouded in mystery. From all its behavior, although it appeared to be Empress Chi Yao's mount and Pet Beast, judging by its tone it should have been Empress Chi Yao's elder or master, most likely possessing terrifying strength.
The last thing Wang Xiaoqiang expected was that not only did it fail to reveal any overwhelming power, it actually showed boundless terror the instant he casually grabbed it—begging for mercy outright.
Empress Chi Yao's original plan had been to have the Pet Beast join her in unleashing the second form of that set of Magic Techniques of the Great Sage: "Though they say we have no robes, with you I share my cloak."
If she faced the enemy together with the Pet Beast "sharing a cloak," her strength would surge dramatically, enough to break through Wang Xiaoqiang's Grasp Stars and Moon hand. But she hadn't foreseen that Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't give her the chance at all, simply grabbing that Pet Beast into his hand.
Seeing this, Empress Chi Yao cried out in fright, "No, Little Qiang, don't kill him, spare his life."
Empress Chi Yao and the Pet Beast screamed in unison, their voices thick with boundless terror. Not only did Wang Xiaoqiang find it baffling and bizarre, the billions of soldiers were equally stunned, thinking to themselves: seriously? The Pet Beast's panicked cries for mercy were understandable.
But given Empress Chi Yao's temperament, not to mention a mere Pet Beast, even if she herself were facing mortal danger, she would never let out such a shriek—utterly unbecoming, utterly ruining her prestige.
Yet Wang Xiaoqiang didn't release the Pet Beast just because they were screaming. The five fingers like mountain peaks kept shrinking, closing in. The Grasp Stars and Moon hand did not weaken as it shrank; on the contrary, its power intensified as it condensed. Instantly, it pressed the Pet Beast so hard it screamed even more fearfully, "Little Qiang, spare me—Senior, spare me!"
Empress Chi Yao's jade face went bone-white at the sight. She directly knelt before Wang Xiaoqiang. "Brother Qiang, please spare its life—please spare my master's life."
Wang Xiaoqiang loosened his clenched hand slightly, staring in astonishment at the Vermilion Bird-like Pet Beast. "Uh… this Pet Beast is your master?"
Not only Wang Xiaoqiang—at that moment, the billions of soldiers were all dumbstruck, petrified. What shocked them wasn't the Pet Beast's identity, but Empress Chi Yao actually calling Wang Xiaoqiang Brother Qiang, and even kneeling to him.
The peerless Empress of the Ancient Continent, sovereign of a Plane, the incomparable Chi Yao, had actually knelt to Wang Xiaoqiang.
This—this was simply unbelievable!!!
