Chương 279: The monstrous Huang Fang Hao

"Do you dare to fight?" Huang Fang Hao asked calmly. Lei Jie took a deep breath then chuckled softly.

"Huang Fang Hao, your arrogance has went overboard. I hope you don't regret your words""There's nothing to regret" Lei Jie snorted and rushed into ten stage, standing beside Huang Shi as they faced Huang Fang Hao. A few seconds later, Dong Fang followed as well and stood beside them. Long Feng also shrugged and jumped into the fray as well. If they couldn't beat Huang Fang Hao on their own, then they might as well work together and defeat him. As for losing… none of them wanted to think of that.

If all nine geniuses worked together to fight a single person and still lost, then they would all have no more face left. All of the nine geniuses stood in the battle stage, forming a large circle with Huang Fang Hao at the center. The crowd burst into wild discussion as their blood began to boil. Huang Fang Hao's confidence was astounding. Not once in history had any overlord ever challenged other overlords to fight him together. Huang Fang Hao was truly strong beyond the other geniuses' level entirely.

They weren't even comparable. But even at that, fighting them all together was a task decision. After all, they were all geniuses as well. If they worked together, then they could hold off an opponent stronger than them all.

"Good. You all still have some spine. Let's fight." Huang Fang Hao wasn't bothered by the fact that he was surrounded. He flourished his golden spear, standing proudly. One had to admit that Huang Fang Hao was truly deserving of his title as the leader of the younger generation. The nine geniuses seemed to have come to a consensus; they all moved at the exact same time. Nine powerful auras surged into the sky, causing a great pressure to descend on Huang Fang Hao.

"Unfettered Overlord palm!"

"Desolate Spear!"

"Howling Hundred layered Fists""Fading Clouds Sky splitting saber""Shadow split!"

"Demon Sword!"

"Dual Knights Divine Strike""Raging sky lightning fist!" Each of the nine geniuses unleashed an attack that had unparalleled power in the same level. The only weak link among them was the ninth genius, the rank two Imperial from the Desolate Continent. He wasn't an overlord so his attack was still lacking compared to the other eight, but he also wasn't to be underestimated. Lei Jie's attack was the most powerful among them all.

His lightning energy contained a powerful aura of destruction that could render most defenses useless. This barrage of attacks could defeat a rank five Imperial and even force a normal rank six to think twice. Unfortunately, Huang Fang Hao himself was anything but normal. His aura surged out of his body in full, spreading out like ripples. The clouds in the sky faded, the air stopped blowing, and the auras of the nine geniuses were suppressed to the point of nearly being forced back into their bodies.

"Heavenly Spear!" A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. This was the very first time Huang Fang Hao was using a martial skill since the beginning of the hundred continent meeting. It could be seen that not even he could underestimate the combined strength of these nine geniuses. Lei Jie's lightning covered fist was the first to close the distance. His two fists were covered in lightning that was filled with great destructive force.

Huang Fang Hao swung the glowing spear against Lei Jie's fist and Lei Jie was sent spinning away. He nearly fell of the stage but managed to regain his footing. Even then, a line of blood flowed down the side of his lips. Long Feng's Demon sword and Dong Fang's Dual swords closed in at the same time from two different angles. Huang Fang Hao snorted and stabbed the spear into the ground. A wild burst of energy exploded, sending Long Feng and Dong Fang flying backwards, both pale faced.

But Huang Fang Hao wasn't having it easy. He was unharmed, but the other attacks had all arrived at the same time. He definitely couldn't take all those attacks with his bare body otherwise his loss would be assured. He wasn't a body tempering cultivator after all.

"Hmph. Get lost!" He shouted coldly. He vanished from his spot, using his movement skill in a battle for the first time as well. Just as he vanished, a shadow rose from the spot he was standing and exploded, releasing a powerful force. Mei Ling sighed as her attack missed. Just then, she felt a cold feeling engulf her heart. Her expression changed as he moved back, but she was too late. Huang Fang Hao appeared before her, his cold gaze piercing into her mind.

His fist landed squarely on her stomach, causing Mei Ling's face to turn paper white and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, her back curling up and her face scrunched up in pain. Huang Fang Hao certainly didn't hold back in that punch.

"Huang Fang Hao! Take this!" Jin Bao's booming voice sounded just as his hundred layered fists impacted towards Huang Fang Hao's back.

"Hmph" Huang Fang Hao turned around and thrust out a single palm at the hundreds of fist shadows. There was a loud explosion as well as a berserk rush of energy and Jin Bao's huge figure was flung away with his two fists dripping blood. Just then, Ping Ran and Wang Qiang's attacks also arrived. Huang Fang Hao sent Ping Ran reeling with a round kick to the chest, but Wang Qiang's palm also landed on Huang Fang Hao's chest. The crowd exclaimed, expecting Huang Fang Hao to suffer a bit as well. But…

"Get lost, weakling!" Huang Fang Hao roared. An even stronger energy surged out of his chest, sending Wang Qiang skidding backwards with a pale face and a shivering arm. The final attack from the rank two Imperial and Huang Shi were also negated by this energy surge. Huang Shi flipped around in the air and landed unsteadily, but the rank two Imperial realm genius was sent flying straight out of the stage. The youth was eliminated! The crowd was left speechless at Huang Fang Hao's strength.

He faced nine geniuses and actually held the upper hand, even sending one of them out of the stage? Was this really something a continent zone's genius could achieve? The eight geniuses exchanged shocked glances as they breathed heavily while Huang Fang Hao's breathing was still calm.

"Damn it! How is this damned guy so strong?" Dong Fang exclaimed.

"This isn't working. We won't be able to defeat him at this rate." Lei Jie frowned, his expression solemn.

"Let's go all out. One peak attack each. I don't believe he can block those easily again!" The others all nodded.

"Jin Bao, use your brute strength to offset his calm even for a bit. Mei Ling will help you with he shadow split skill. Huang Shi, Ping Ran and Wang Qiang, you threw will attack him with your all. No matter what, you must force him to retreat. Long Feng, Dong Fang, you two are the fastest among us. You should attack at the best chance you get. I will deal the final blow." Lei Jie's voice sounded in their minds, using the voice transmission skill. The geniuses exchanged glances again and nodded.

"Howling Wolf body tempering skill!" Jin Bao roared. His body got larger again just as when he fought Long Feng. He gave off a wild berserk aura that made everyone imagine a small mountain instead of a person. The huge Jin Bao roared again and leapt at Huang Fang Hao, throwing a punch that could reduce any rank two Imperial to a paste and badly injure a rank three Imperial as well.

Huang Fang Hao wanted to dodge the large fist, but just them, his shadow moved and began to entangle his feet, restricting his movement. This was Mei Ling's ability; shadow Dao. Huang Fang Hao snorted and stomped heavily, freeing himself from the shadow, but Jin Bao's fist was already above him. Huang Fang Hao's spear appeared in his grasp again.

"Heavenly Spear!" He roared again. His spear unleashed a dazzling glow as it collided against Jin Bao's fist. A wild wave of energy exploded outwards, forcing even Mei Ling to retreat. Jin Bao's huge figure was thrown out again, his right arm bent in a weird angle. His arm was broken from the collision! Huang Fang Hao's figure reappeared. He had an ugly expression as his spear wielding arm shivered slowly. After all, Jin Bao's brute strength was unrivaled. Facing him head on wasn't easy even for Huang Fang Hao.

Before he could catch his breath, Huang Shi, Ping Ran and Wang Qiang moved in a pincer attack, unleashing their full power without reservations.

"Desolate annihilation Fist!" Huang Shi's fist glowed with a dusky energy that disintegrated even the air around him.

"Gathered Clouds Tribulation Strike" Ping Ran unleashed his strongest Saber skill, causing the saber to seem to have melted into the air, making it hard to defend against.

"Unfettered Emperor Palm!" Wang Qiang's own attack was nothing to scoff at. This was a high grade Imperial skill that came close to a legendary mortal grade skill. The three skills came from different directions, making Huang Fang Hao's expression to change a bit.

"Heaven piercing spear!" He took a step back and stabbed his spear tip into the ground again. A huge golden spear manifested around him and exploded, releasing a terrifying force that swept outwards, sending the three geniuses flying. Wang Qiang and Huang Shi were directly knocked unconscious and were thrown out of the stage. Another two overlords, eliminated! Ping Ran was still holding on, but he still coughed up blood twice before regaining his footing.

"Now!" Long Feng and Dong Fang exchanged glances and nodded, then they shot towards Huang Fang Hao's figure from his front and back before he could recover.

"Triple Knights Divine Strike!"

"Earth Firmament strike!" Huang Fang Hao was currently looking a bit haggard. His hair was scattered and he had been forced back two steps even though he blocked their attacks. Long Feng and Dong Fang's attacks were extremely fast and he had just blocked a round of attacks. Things weren't looking good for him. He roared and charged straight towards Long Feng, his spear tip pointed at him. The two crossed past each other and Long Feng's face paled.

A deep wound appeared on his chest and blood flowed out, drenching his black robes. Huang Fang Hao on the other hand was completely uninjured, but there was now a thin line of blood on his lips and his face was pale. It was obvious that he didn't have it easy facing Long Feng's attack. Dong Fang's Dual swords closed in at this moment right when Huang Fang Hao had paused.

"Hahaha! Huang Fang Hao, take this!" He laughed loudly. But his laughter froze when his attacks cut straight through Huang Fang Hao's figure. This was an afterimage! Dong Fang's expression changed drastically as he tried to twist his body aside, but a fist appeared out of nowhere and landed on his chest. Dong Fang's face paled and he coughed up three mouthfuls of blood! His chest actually caved in slightly and his two swords fell far away from him where he laid.

"Huang Fang Hao is bleeding!" The crowd shouted excitedly. Indeed, Dong Fang's reaction was shocking. He already knew that he couldn't dodge so he gave up trying to dodge and attacked again with his sword, leaving a shallow cut on Huang Fang Hao's chest.

"Lightning Tribulation Fist!" A dazzling streak of purple lightning shot towards Huang Fang Hao's chest at this moment, Lei Jie's figure hidden within the lightning. Huang Fang Hao's eyes shone with a cold glint as he also punched out with a fist. The two fists collided and a shockwave spread out, throwing the injured Dong Fang out of the stage. Lei Jie was forced to retreat several steps while he coughed stiffly. Huang Fang Hao merely shook but didn't move back a single step.

The disparity between them was as clear as day and night; the nine geniuses weren't Huang Fang Hao's match!
