CHAPTER 446 ROCKY VS LIAM

At that moment, several spirit manipulators from the Black Dragon Legion, with their spirit-manipulated

beasts, dashed forward to intercept their enemies. Although their enemies were warriors at the

Heavenly Stage and too powerful for them, they knew they could never withdraw nor desert. As

soldiers, they swore to fight for their empire until their dying breath.

Inspired by the several spirit manipulators, the remaining army of the Black Dragon Legion, led by

Rocky, soon fought fiercely with the defending army of the Timber Deity Empire at the inner layer of the

array. The sound of shouting, killing and fighting was all that could be heard from a distance. As the

battle grew more intense, such sound became more despairing and deafening.

Only two men didn't join the battle, Rocky and the middle-aged man.

"My name is Liam Lie, Mr. Bai. I would like to offer you a piece of advice: If you want your troops to live,

you'd better surrender now. My master appreciates your talent, so I wouldn't want to hurt you if

possible!" the middle-aged man said in an arrogant tone with his hands crossed. Rocky knew that there

was a hidden meaning in his words—he didn't want to be accused of tormenting those weaker than

him.

He did have the capabilities to boast and to be arrogant as even Rocky couldn't gauge how strong he

was—his strength was at least above the third grade of the Heavenly Stage.

He knew that this would be a difficult fight because he was only at the preliminary level of the Heavenly

Stage. His only advantage was the spiritual power inside his body, as it could match with those of the

common spirit manipulators at the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. However, facing Liam whose

strength was above the third grade of the Heavenly Stage, he realized that he didn't have any

advantage at all.

Despite that, he was not intimidated at all, because his real opponents were far more powerful and

stronger than Liam. If he would be afraid right now, he wouldn't be able to gain the courage he needed

to face his real opponents.

Hence, Rocky decided to take out his Frozen Wind Dagger. As he wielded it, it turned into a black-red

Flaming Blade. He thought that the gap between their strengths could be reduced with this weapon.

Rocky continued staring sharply at Liam as he gripped his weapon. His eyes were full of determination

and fierce fighting spirit.

Uriah and Rubygon felt the fighting spirit of their master, so they immediately returned to his side. They

made bared their teeth and prepared themselves for any upcoming strikes.

When Liam saw the two spirit-manipulated beasts surrounding Rocky, his eyes glinted with a bit of

surprise. For a moment, he did not understand why Rocky could own two spirit-manipulated beasts at

the same time. However, that surprised look shortly vanished. It looked like the strength of Rocky was

not much of a big deal compared to his. Liam stretched out his hand to gather his spiritual power, and

opened his own Magic Spiritual Space. A Timber spirit-manipulated beast at the third grade of the four-

star level rushed out immediately. Its appearance was slightly shorter than Rubygon and its body was

tightly wrapped by countless wriggling green vines, revealing only a pair of dark cold eyes. Rocky

thought it resembled a mummy.

"So, he is a Timber spirit manipulator," Rocky concluded. He easily recognized Liam's identity as a

Timber spirit manipulator just by the summoning of his spirit-manipulated beast. He concluded that his

enemy might be more difficult to deal with than he had previously thought.

Uriah and Rubygon showed a strong fighting intent to challenge the Timber spirit-manipulated beast

that appeared in front of them. They let out roars, which was a declaration of war.

"Go!" Rocky simply ordered when he saw his two beasts were ready to fight. Although the opponent of

his two spirit-manipulated beasts was already at the third grade of the four-star level, he believes that

Uriah and Rubygon would have a chance to win if they attacked together.

Uriah and Rubygon immediately rushed toward their opponent together as they heard their master's

order. The vines that wrapped around the Timber spirit-manipulated beast suddenly spread like

thousands of snakes that rushed out of their cave. They soon formed a network that dashed towards

the two beasts rushing towards them.

Both of them didn't show any sign of weakness. Uriah created a fierce flame that surrounded its body,

while Rubygon was full of intense momentum, with its sharp claws flashing boldly.

"Commander Bai, I will no longer be lenient or restrain myself against you!" Liam reminded Rocky

coldly. The spiritual power around the former's body produced a cracking sound as his whole body

burst into rollers of thunder.

"So, the nature of his spiritual power is Thunder," Rocky concluded as he narrowed his eyes to inspect.

The spiritual power of Thunder nature had very strong destructive power just like his spiritual power of

Fire nature. But in terms of attacking speed, Liam's was definitely faster.

In the blink of an eye, Liam's shape had turned into a stream of thunder light and rushed Rocky at

lightning speed.

Without the slightest fear, Rocky flourished the Flaming Blade with one hand and thumped on the

ground with his feet hard. Then, he leaped and charged towards his enemy.

"Rolling Thunder!" Liam bellowed. He launched an attack from his arsenal of spiritual martial arts.

Within a second, Rocky saw the spiritual power with the Thunder nature emerged from his enemy's

punch. It turned into the shape of a torrent of thunder and lightning, and its speed was uncanny. Before

Rocky could see it, it was already rushing towards him.

Rocky's face turned grim. He immediately flourished his weapon to counterattack as the Evil Flame on

the dagger turned into a Moon Blade with a loud whistling sound.

The spiritual power of different natures slammed into each other with a bang. It created a gust of wind

that spread around them and stirred up waves of dust.

"Not bad! You blocked my first attack quite easily. Yet, I just activated my power at the second grade of

the Heavenly Stage. My next attack will be more powerful," Liam said as his eyes flashed a hint of

acknowledgement. Rocky, whose strength was at the first grade of the Heavenly Stage, could actually

block his attack. This made him interested in Rocky's talent. holds text © rights.

For Rocky, that acknowledgement from his enemy was not good news. He felt that he shouldn't

underestimate the power of his enemy's attacks! He knew that his strength was far more powerful than

that of the second grade of the Heavenly Stage.

"Rushing Thunder!" Liam launched another punch as his eyes became sharper. Instantly, a wave of

spiritual power with the Thunder nature dashed towards Rocky. It was much faster this time, like a

lightning bolt that abruptly flashed.

Before Rocky had enough time to react, the spiritual power got close to him like a fierce beast who was

ready to gnaw at him.

Without showing any sign of fear or panic, he immediately put the Flaming Blade of Frozen Wind

Dagger in front of him and summoned the extreme Evil Flame power in it.

A loud sound of explosion was heard all throughout the battlefield again.

The two kinds of power crashed into each other again. In an instant, the thunder power shone brightly,

while the Evil Flame was dispersed.

Rocky felt his arms trembled and numbed. He also lost his stability and was forced to take a few steps

backwards. The pain of his whole body told him that Liam already used the power at the third grade of

the Heavenly Stage.

Before Rocky had enough time to take a breath, Liam rushed up to him like a fast-moving shadow,

while his whole body exuded a very strong aura at the fourth grade of the Heavenly Stage.

Immediately, a sharp killing intent shrouded Rocky again.

He was surprised by the power Liam had just released. He didn't expect that his strength had reached

the fourth grade. The gap between their strengths was quite obvious now!
