Chapter 149: Quivering Sword (Part 2)

"Yes, I can't beat him!" Liu Gang readily admitted his defeat.
Third Senior Brother: "............!"
"Take my Tri-color Divine Ox up there then," Third Senior Brother said helplessly.
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother!" Liu Gang said excitedly.
"State of Zheng, is there anyone else who dares to fight?" Huo Guang shouted once more.
"I'll fight!" Liu Gang suddenly cried out in a loud voice.
As he spoke, Liu Gang stepped forward.
"Minister Liu? Long time no see!" Huo Guang twirled his long spear and said in a deep voice.
"According to my intelligence, just last year you were only at the sixth tier of the Force Realm. Who would have thought that in such a short time, you would actually reach the Essence Realm! That is truly heaven-defying luck," Liu Gang said, his eyes filled with jealousy.
"Enough idle talk! Since you've stepped up to fight, let us begin!" Huo Guang shouted.
"Moooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
Behind the forces of Zheng, the two-story-high giant ox suddenly let out a low bellow, and then began stepping forward.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"......
As the divine ox trod the earth, the ground roared with thunderous vibrations.
"Liu Gang, what is the meaning of this?" Huo Guang demanded in a deep voice.
"Nothing much. This divine ox is my beast companion, so naturally, it accompanies me into battle. If you have any spirit beasts of your own, you are free to summon them!" Liu Gang said with a smile.
The divine ox glared at Liu Gang, clearly displeased with being called his beast companion.
"Tri-color, behave!" Third Senior Brother called out calmly from behind.
Only then did the divine ox, with reluctance, acknowledge Liu Gang's statement.
High up in the sky.
"Shameless! Master, these people from Zheng are utterly shameless!" Yan Wudi said anxiously.
Sword King Dugu stared intently below. "The spear in Huo Guang's hand... could that be the Sky-Piercing Spear? No, do all three thousand Brocade-Clad Guards hold Sky-Piercing Spears? Where on earth did this Yanchuan find so many?"
"Master, what did you say?" Yan Wudi asked, puzzled.
"Let's wait and see a little longer. Yanchuan has clearly come fully prepared!"
"Understood!"
On the other side of the cloud layer.
"Is this Yanchuan? You said he is seventeen years old?" a woman asked, perplexed.
"Indeed. What I find strange is that he seems a bit too arrogant!" Changqing shook his head.
"Arrogant? No, I have a feeling he has a deeper purpose in mind," the woman said, sinking into slight contemplation.
Below, the divine ox entered the arena, bearing down on Huo Guang!
"Men!" Yanchuan suddenly shouted.
"Here!" a chorus of Brocade-Clad Guards answered in a resounding roar.
"This beast is interfering in Huo Guang's duel. Kill it!" Yanchuan commanded loudly.
Kill it? Kill a spirit beast? How could that even be possible? Astonished gazes converged from all directions.
"Hahaha! Yanchuan, you want to kill the Tri-color Divine Ox? Keep dreaming! The Tri-color Divine Ox is impervious to swords and spears; who could possibly injure it? Don't end up angering it and getting trampled to death yourself, because by then I won't be able to save you!" Liu Gang laughed from afar.
"Clack, clack, clack!"
The Brocade-Clad Guards paid no heed to Liu Gang's nonsense. About ten of them simultaneously drew their Heaven-Shaking Bows.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"............
Ten Sun-Shooting Arrows instantly transformed into ten streaks of light, shooting straight toward the Tri-color Divine Ox.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"............
The Sun-Shooting Arrows pierced directly into the body of the Tri-color Divine Ox, leaving half of their feathered tails protruding. The supposedly impenetrable hide had actually failed to stop these ten arrows!
"Moooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
The Tri-color Divine Ox let out a long, agonized cry, and was instantly provoked into a rage.
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Both Liu Gang and Third Senior Brother wore expressions of profound shock. The hide of the Tri-color Divine Ox was supposed to be completely impervious to mortal weapons!
"Moo!"
Roaring in fury, the Tri-color Divine Ox whipped its head around to glare in the direction of Yanchuan.
