CHAPTER 361 THE COMMANDER IS EXECUTED
"Ah..." Rocky cried out loudly due to the acute pain. The pain came out like an uproar from his throat in
the form of a silent yell. He was in the precarious juncture to shatter the sealing power inside his body.
He had to be swift as a bolt of lightning as he had a strong enemy in front of him right now. The next
second, a black light came out of his body and instantly spread all over him, forming numerous black
strips, which constantly intertwined and then wrapped around him. Strong spiritual power like a
windstorm soon burst out and spread the area around him, producing flying sand and stones and
whistling wind.
Suddenly, an evil force that made people shake like a leaf with jitteriness emanated from the black light
wrapping around Rocky and quickly swept around. Finally, he managed to sabotage the sealing power
inside his body, and had enhanced his strength a lot.
The two armies, who had engaged in a vicious fight all around, couldn't help but steer their attention on
the precipitous transformations. All of them looked extremely stunned and began to think that what kind
of power Rocky had now. The scene in front of them was so awkward and never had they expected to
see it in their lifetime. The moment when they felt the evil power expended by the black light, they also
felt as if death was approaching them.
Even when Commander Zuo of the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky's current rival, set his eyes on this
scene, there was also a dumbfounded expression on his face. His mouth was opening and shutting like
a goldfish with no sound coming out. At the same time, he had an ominous premonition. Thus, he
immediately galloped towards Rocky, while the muscles of his right arm twisted and contracted, and
instantly swelled up. The next moment, an extremely fierce spiritual power was shooting out from his
body.
"Ferocious Rock Fist!" Commander Zuo roared like a lion. He just launched his most powerful charge,
and he consistently felt proud of such a dynamic skill. Thus, he was sanguine that Rocky could be
murdered by it this time. He had to try his best as he abhorred to see any extraordinary incident
happen on Rocky again.
The bystanders then saw that the spiritual power rushing out of Commander Zuo's body immediately
mounted up and was turned into a rock-like shape. In the blink of an eye, it became a vast rock
shadow, like an enormous mountain, and began to swoop towards the black light that wrapped Rocky
at a brisk acceleration.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The vast rock shadow soon hit the black light violently. All at once, on the ground, the spiritual light was
glistening brightly; a blast of cyclone spread around; the dust and sand were whirling up to the air, and
the powerful impact of the collision immediately revealed. It was just so terrifying!
According to common sense, under the impact of such a strong spiritual power, even a spirit
manipulator at the first grade of the Heavenly Stage might not be able to resist, let alone Rocky who
was only at the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage. Commander Zuo generally held the same line of
reasoning. He felt that Rocky was definitely unable to bear his most potent attack and that even if he
were not slaughtered by it, he would be intensely maimed.
When Rocky's troops who were clashing against the enemies of the Timber Deity Empire saw this
scene, their faces changed dramatically. They could not help but speculate that their task would fail
after their top leader was executed.
But in no time, they saw the black light that wrapped Rocky suddenly vanished into thin air, and that a
palm stopped the vast rock shadow. The next moment, the palm was gently turned. Somehow, the
enormous rock shadow was instantly broken down into infinite spiritual power, which was sucked into
the palm at once.
The owner of this palm was no one else but Rocky himself.
Everyone on the site was dumbfounded again by what they had seen with their mouths agape. They
stood as gormless as a guppy as if incapacitated.
"How on earth is that possible?" Commander Zuo was talking under his breaths in mumbles. He was
wearing an unblinking stare. The shock was registered in his face. He was utterly dismayed by the fact
that his most vigorous spiritual martial arts could be shattered so easily.
It was not until at this point that everyone recognized that the spiritual power emitted by Rocky was
distinctive from the usual spiritual power. His power was like black smoke, constantly lingering around
his body, more like a ghostly demon. Plus with the evil and oppressive look on his face, everyone
couldn't be more scared stiff!
"What? He is now at the first grade of the Heavenly Stage?" Commander Zuo whispered in a
bewildered tone, and his tiny eyes popped out precipitously. He now finally identified that Rocky made
such a significant, violent and awakening breakthrough within such a short time. However, he never
heard that a spirit manipulator could complete such a breakthrough in the case that his spiritual power
was practically exhausted and he was on the fringe of death. All in all, this was simply a matter that
nobody had ever heard or seen. In addition, the color of the spiritual power emanated from Rocky had
never been seen before. Even the spiritual power of the primordial spirit manipulators never showed
such a color.
'Power of the holy dragon, long time no see!' Rocky thought to himself. At that juncture, a bit of cold
smile was added to Rocky's evil look. At the same time, he raised his eyes, and forthwith cast his
attention on Commander Zuo.
Commander Zuo was feeling increasingly puzzled by the scene. Soon, he looked around and found
that the small bottle also attracted his Rock Armour Hound in front of it, which was filled with the
magical saliva. Immediately, he moved his body quickly and appeared in front of the bottle. Without any
hesitation, he stepped on the bottle, and the bottle was smashed into pieces. Soon, his Rock Armour
Hound returned to its normal state.
When Rocky saw that Commander Zuo crushed his bottle which was used to stop the assaults of the
Rock Armour Hound, he had no reactions at all and just stood in situ with his two hands behind his
back.
Commander Zuo then glowered at Rocky ferociously. Even though he didn't have the slenderest inkling
how Rocky made a breakthrough and reached the Heavenly Stage, his strength was still stronger than
Rocky, after all. Besides, Rocky didn't bring his spirit-manipulated beast. Thus, Commander Zuo still
was wholly beyond suspicion that it would be obvious for him to kill Rocky.
"Prepare to perish!" Commander Zuo snarled to Rocky angrily. Anger was boiling deep in his system,
as hot as lava. The next moment, he and his Rock Armour Hound dashed towards their enemy.
Seeing Commander Zuo dashing towards him, Rocky suddenly raised a hand and shook it tenderly. All
of a sudden, the dragon mark on his arm flashed and got out of his arm. It twirled and twisted. At once,
it was instantaneously transformed into red and black flames, which completely wrapped his whole
arm.
"It is the spiritual mark... Is... he... the royal spirit manipulator of the Holy Dragon Empire..."
Commander Zuo stuttered. When he saw the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's arm, he suddenly looked
shocked, his face stuck in an incredulous expression once more. He was a little regretful now as he
had evidently underestimated his rival before. If he had tried his most influential attack at the beginning,
he would win the fight at a breakneck speed. But now, his enemy had grown so dominant within a short
time. Meanwhile, he had no more powerful resort. He was in absolute trepidation.
However, without holding his horses for him to react, Rocky had already popped up in front of him. With
the big flames around his left arm, he threw a vigorous punch towards his enemy. Suddenly, a red-
black flame roared like a fire dragon and dashed towards Commander Zuo.
Commander Zuo immediately summoned his Rock Armour Hound forward to combat the flame. Yet,
after the red-black flame was smashed on the hound, the flame suddenly was enlarged and instantly
spread over the hound. In a twinkle of an eye, the hound seemed to be severely injured as it mourned
painfully and collapsed on the ground with a thud. holds text © rights.
"What kind of power is this?" Commander Zuo asked, queries lingering in the back of his mind. Seeing
Rocky's spiritual flame even could not be deterred by his spirit-manipulated beast, he was even more
taken aback, and his face changed drastically.
"I don't believe I can't execute you!" Commander Zuo yelled his lungs out indignantly. He was now
driven into the most forlorn situation in his lifetime. Yet, he didn't want to give up fighting; otherwise, he
would only face a dead end. Instantly, he gathered all his spiritual power and angrily launched a pretty
violent charge against Rocky by his Ferocious Rock Fist, in a desperate effort to give his enemy the
most deadly blow.
At that moment, Rocky was standing in front of Commander Zuo. The flame was still flashing in his left
arm. Instantly he clenched his left hand into a fist and waved his fist without exhibiting any sign of
weakness.
After the two fists collided with each other, the two waves of intense, strong spiritual power at the
Heavenly Stage instantly burst out dazzling brilliance shining upon the two people. Once again, the
dust and sand were stirred up, and the airwaves of the collision spread out consequently. The rest of
the soldiers on both sides felt extremely shocked again. Shock leapt in the air as if a firecracker had
gone off.
But the next moment, Commander Zuo suddenly felt that the spiritual power inside his body was losing
at a crazy speed as if it had been absorbed by something. Then he detected a peculiar light was
flashing between his fist and Rocky's fist. In no time, he figured out what was happening and hurriedly
wanted to withdraw his fist.
Yet, before he could do that, a curved spiritual light had cut through his throat!
In the blink of an eye, blood was spewing out of his throat violently, like small pillars. Soon, he fell to the
ground with his eyes still wide open. The last look on his face was full of jitteriness and bewilderment...
