Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him · 佚名 · 305 chương · ~27 phút đọc · Tạo 29/07/2026
The battle between the man and the beast remained fierce, with the eight-clawed beast's tentacles breaking off twice.
However, this strange beast has an extremely strong regenerative ability. With a single turn of its true energy, it can regenerate a new tentacle that, although much smaller, is still incredibly powerful.
This ability to proliferate so rapidly amazed the viewers in front of the camera, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried for Mu Yang Lang Jun.
Is there really any chance of winning against a monster like that?
Fortunately, Mu Yanglangjun did not disappoint everyone. His powerful skills endowed him with extraordinary strength, and every move he made contained an explosive destructive power that was completely opposite to his appearance.
Under such an attack, the octopus's body is damaged far more than it can recover.
The two are roughly equal in strength, and it's difficult to tell how the battle will unfold in the short term.
Since Lord Muyang intended to hunt the eight-clawed beast, how could he possibly be unprepared?
Just as the battle was at its most intense, Mu Yanglangjun suddenly leaped into the air, raised his hands high, and a dazzling light shone from his hands.
The massive fluctuation of true energy directly compressed the surrounding air in all directions.
Even distant ships were shaken violently by this shockwave.
The force was so great that it far exceeded the strength of ordinary Dharma Aspect Realm martial artists.
The live stream director quickly switched the camera between close-ups and zooms. Although the signal was blurry under the powerful energy field, people still caught a glimpse of what Mu Yang Langjun was holding.
It was a shuttle-shaped object, radiating intense true energy fluctuations, as if it were about to explode at any moment, and flashing with an eerie light.
"This is?"
"I've never heard of such a thing before. I've lived in Guixu for many years and have never seen anything like it. It shouldn't be a martial arts item."
The guests in the live stream frowned and shook their heads, unable to guess what it was for a moment.
In the battlefield of the sea, the eight-clawed beast possessed an extremely keen sense of danger. The moment this extraordinary treasure appeared, it felt an immense pressure emanating from it. It hastily urged its four tentacles to attack Mu Yang Lang Jun simultaneously.
Mu Yanglangjun moved swiftly, skillfully dodging its attacks. After gathering enough strength, he used all his power to forcefully blast the light in his hand towards the eight-clawed beast.
The eight-clawed beast roared and hurriedly dived into the deep sea, but unfortunately it was a beat too slow.
Before it had fully sunk into the water, it was struck by this radiance.
The eight-clawed beast howled in agony as a large hole was blasted through its body, and chunks of flesh shattered everywhere, crashing onto the sea like hailstones.
The entire sea surface was covered by a stream of dark blood.
"That's amazing! Young Master Muyang has won decisively!"
"What kind of treasure is this, that it possesses such power?"
The viewers in the live stream became excited upon seeing this; they had won!
On the high ocean, the eight-clawed beast, so badly injured, was unwilling to linger any longer. With its remaining tentacles twisting desperately, it sped towards the depths of the ocean.
Mu Yanglangjun used his superb movement technique to quickly catch up, and the judge's pen in his hand continuously emitted rays of light, shooting towards its body.
It stirred up waves.
"The eight-clawed beast is so powerful, yet it was still severely injured by Lord Muyang. It's only a matter of time before we take it down. I just don't know if this beast has any other tricks up its sleeve."
"Hmm, such a powerful beast must have more than just this much ability. Its near-death attack must have been extraordinary."
.
"Hey. Look, it's starting to fight back. Is that an octopus ink sac? Sure enough, the name 'eight-legged creature' is well-deserved."
Another guest looked at the screen and said with a smile.
In the scene at this moment, the eight-clawed beast suddenly opened its mouth towards the sky and the sea, spewing out a large amount of black smoke. This smoke was as thick as ink, not only turning the seawater into ink, but also growing in the wind, turning the air black as well.
Mu Yanglang plunged headlong into the inky clouds, his vision went black instantly, and he couldn't tell which way to go.
Moreover, this ink color also possesses the power to erode the soul, preventing martial artists from perceiving direction through their souls.
How could Mu Yang Langjun be unprepared? His true energy surged, and he reached out and pulled out another identical shuttle-shaped weapon, then threw it with a bang towards a spot not far ahead.
Suddenly, a huge explosion came from the front, and a strong shockwave spread outwards instantly, blowing the entire dark cloud backwards.
The seawater below was also blasted up by this enormous explosive force, creating a huge wave and forming a vast underwater space.
The eight-clawed beast hiding in the inky sea let out a mournful cry, clearly having been injured again.
"Found you!"
Mu Yanglangjun located the source of the sound, and the judge's pen in his hand instantly transformed into a size of tens of feet, rushing towards the eight-clawed beast.
The eight-clawed beast opened its ferocious maw, no longer fleeing, and prepared to fight him to the death.
"The outcome is decided! It seems the title of King of the Hunt belongs to Young Master Muyang."
"Yes, congratulations, Mu Yang. There's less than a week left until the end of the event, so I doubt anyone will challenge his record."
In the studio, the host and guests chatted animatedly, eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of Mu Yanglang.
Just as everyone was relaxing and chatting happily, a strange change suddenly occurred on the ocean.
The eight-clawed beast, which was engaged in a fierce battle, had just leaped out of the water and was trying to use its physical strength to attack the floating Mu Yang Langjun and drag him into the water.
Suddenly, an enormous, dragon-like creature shot out from the sky, charging forward like a bolt of lightning.
A giant maw instantly bit into the head of the eight-clawed beast, tearing a large chunk of flesh through its skull in a single stroke.
The eight-clawed beast let out a mournful cry, and its remaining tentacles frantically coiled towards the dragon-like creature.
Unexpectedly, the dragon-shaped creature opened its mouth wide, and an extremely cold force surged out, instantly freezing the eight-clawed beast into a large ice block.
With a powerful flick of its long tail, it smashed the eight-clawed beast into pieces with a snap.
A huge, jet-black bead flew into the air, emitting a dark glow.
The dragon-shaped creature opened its mouth wide and sucked the bead into its mouth, then glanced sideways at the dumbfounded Mu Yang Langjun in front of it.
It slowly opened its enormous mouth.
The massive energy fluctuation instantly woke Mu Yanglangjun. He disregarded his appearance and ran with all his might towards the distance.
"laugh!"
A massive pillar of fire, ten zhang thick, instantly spewed from the dragon-shaped creature's mouth.
It pierced straight through the cruise ships that were watching from the front.
The power of the flame did not diminish upon striking the object; instead, it continued to flow continuously from the mouth of the dragon-shaped beast.
The dragon-shaped creature swung its head, and the entire sea surface, centered on it and extending for dozens of nautical miles, was engulfed in flames.
This fire is inextinguishable by water and has an extremely high temperature. Whether it is a strange beast in the sea or a ship on the sea, it will turn into ashes.
After circling around, none of the surrounding ships escaped unscathed; only a few Grandmaster-level experts managed to flee in disarray.
Most of them were subordinates or employees of these ship owners.
How could a ship owner who could come to the open sea to observe hunting activities up close not have some influence?
These Grandmaster-level experts were quite dutiful, each carrying several important figures on their behalf.
In mid-air, the dozens of survivors stared in horror at the raging sea before them, a phrase that involuntarily came to mind: "The sky is burning and the sea is boiling!"
After wreaking havoc, the dragon-shaped beast seemed uninterested in these tiny creatures and took to the air, flying towards the clouds.
They vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
In the studio, everyone stared in horror at the large screen filled with static, and there was complete silence.
After a long pause, the host finally said, trembling, "The signal was completely cut off. It should be... it should all be destroyed."
"Is this the same beast that destroyed the satellite back then?"
One of the guests woke up, pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression.
His words surprised everyone: "That's actually quite possible!"
"That's the dark shape I just saw, isn't it!"
"Professor Zhang, we misunderstood you."
"It's a pity that if we had been skeptical and not blindly confident, so many people wouldn't have died or been injured."
One of the guests said with some self-reproach.
The crowd fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
"Dear viewers, due to an unforeseen event, this live broadcast has now ended. Please stay tuned to the official website for further updates!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire internet erupted in uproar.
It was supposed to be a hunting operation, but we ended up being hunted by the beast.
"What kind of strange beast is this? It's incredibly powerful!"
"I think this should be considered a top predator, belonging to the category of top-tier exotic beasts."
"No, I don't think so. It should be stronger than top-tier, at least legendary level. Don't you think it looks a lot like an ancient dragon?"
"You know what, it really does resemble a divine dragon."
Online attention shifted from the hunting operation to this strange beast.
As people talked about it, many of them actually became fans of this strange beast and named it the Crimson Flame Frost Dragon.
Several online forums about the Crimson Flame Frost Dragon were also created, and netizens began searching for any information that might be related to this divine dragon, from ancient mythological texts to historical documents from the Ruins of Return.
Things on the internet develop extremely quickly; it only takes an hour or two from gaining attention to building a fan base.
At this time, the crowd at the scene of the beast hunt had not yet dispersed.
"Do you think this dragon might come running up here?"
On the way off the field, Zhao Ke said with some concern, "If it was the same thing that destroyed the satellite before, then this dragon has appeared twice already."
It's hard to say whether it won't travel from the ocean to the inland.
"If it really comes, I can't beat it. Whoever can beat it, that's who will go. Anyway, my first priority is to run away."
Zhao Xin laughed dismissively.
This divine dragon's strength surpasses that of any other mythical beast they had ever known before.
Those strange beasts also have superpowers, but none of them are as terrifying as this.
A single breath of ice can freeze even the top-tier, high-level octopus beast.
A single breath of fire can sweep across an area spanning dozens of nautical miles.
This extreme power and the range of its killing effect are on a completely different level from the previous strange beasts.
No sooner had Zhao Xin finished speaking than a commotion arose on the shore, which then grew louder and louder.
"Damn it, you jinx!"
Zhao Ke was taken aback, because he vaguely heard shouts from the other side: "Run! That beast is coming!"
"Run!"
Zhao Ke shouted and ran westward.
Thanks to the top-notch lightness skill taught by Zhao Rui, although he has not reached the Grandmaster realm, his lightness skill is no weaker than that of an ordinary Grandmaster.
With a burst of speed, his figure moved like a ghost, disappearing in a flash over a hundred meters away.
Zhao Xin and Cao Yingcai didn't have time to think much and immediately took off running.
In the entire arena, the difference in martial arts skill levels became immediately apparent.
Those with high martial arts skills can walk on air and escape directly to distant places.
His martial arts skills were average; he could traverse mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground, and in an instant, he was more than ten feet away.
Those with low martial arts skills can only move as lightly as a swallow and fly as fast as the wind, stepping on rooftops and scaling walls.
While those inside were desperately trying to escape using all sorts of methods.
A blazing flame descended from the sky, and even before it arrived, an intense heat swept over you.
Those who fled were as if they were approaching a steel furnace.
The clothes shrank immediately.
"Help!"
At this moment, it wasn't just the last person running that was screaming with heart-wrenching pain.
Even the experts who had initially fled wanted to cry for help.
Their martial arts skills are high, but not high enough to allow them to dart more than ten kilometers away in an instant.
The dragon's speed was not much less than that of her flames.
In this situation, who can escape?
"Damn organizers, you have no conscience! You provoked such a powerful beast!"
"Once I escape, I will definitely build you a shrine and temple."
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered along the entire coastline of the hunting operation.
At this moment, despair enveloped everyone's hearts.
"How dare you, you monster!"
Just when everyone felt as if the end of the world had come, a shout rang out.
In the distance, ten sword lights flashed by.
It pierced straight into the void.
With a few crisp clangs, the longsword bounced back as if it had struck something hard.
"What amazing defense!"
As the sword light fell, ten figures appeared. Everyone looked over and saw that these people were dressed in various Taoist and Buddhist robes.
It was none other than one of the top ten sects in the martial arts world that had recently gained fame.
"The sword formation that the ten of us practiced together is enough to allow us to contend with those at the Dharma Aspect Realm. How could it not be effective?"
Before he could finish speaking, a blazing flame attacked Shifen.
The ten people quickly gathered their inner strength and focused it into one person.
This person unleashed a powerful and fierce palm strike.
The palm strike was relentless, hurtling straight toward the dragon-shaped beast.
The beast was very cunning. It dodged to the side and then used a flash to appear behind the ten people.
Before the ten people could react, it had already opened its blood-red maw.
"Damn it, this is just bizarre. Even when I'm taking a dump, something like this happens."
Just then, a lazy voice rang out.
A giant millstone, transformed from a Buddhist rosary, barely managed to stop the ferocious jaws of the strange beast.
"Get out of here now!"
The monk shouted loudly, his body surging with energy, even his eyebrows arching upwards.
"I'll outwit my martial uncle!"
Among the ten people, a bald monk couldn't help but exclaim with delight.
The visitor turned out to be Zen Master Zhisheng, the Emei abbot who had traveled with Zhao Rui.
"Get out of here quickly, I can't hold out much longer."
The monk Zhisheng's eyes began to fill with bloodshot veins, clearly indicating that he had given it his all.
