I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

548  Second Elder

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed elder raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike toward Wang Mang.

The huge palm condensed from spiritual power covered the sky and the sun, causing the sky to change color.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mang retreated frantically. Not willing to be outdone, he raised his hand and gathered his own spiritual power to unleash his own palm strike.

Bang! The two giant palms collided, and the shockwaves from the impact caused thousand-meter-high waves to erupt. Surprisingly, this elder was quite strong. Wang Mang's spiritual power and immortal qi reserves far exceeded that of his peers.

However, the two of them seemed to be equally matched. Incidentally, the elder was a ninth-level Immortal Emperor realm expert.

[Name: Dragon King Whale Clan's Second Elder, HP: 4850/4900, Energy: 4800/4900]

This was the status panel that appeared above the elder's head.

His HP and Energy were both 400 points higher than Wang Mang's, but Wang Mang was not too bothered about it. After all, Wang Mang believed he had the advantage in terms of divine powers.

In addition, after Wang Mang evolved, he had been itching for a battle to test his actual combat strength. This was a perfect opportunity.

Similarly, the black-robed elder's face was gloomy. He had never expected Wang Mang to be on par with him in terms of spiritual power.

The previous palm strike that he had unleashed was just a test used to determine the rough level of his opponent's strength.

It seemed that Wang Mang was highly regarded by the West Sea Dragon King for good reason. Of course, even so, he would not stop, as Wang Mang had occupied the position that the Dragon King Whale clan was aiming for.

"You're quite strong, but you still have to die!"

With a furious roar, the black-robed elder shot forward, clearly intending to engage Wang Mang in a close combat.

He had originally planned to use his divine power, but gave up on that idea. He wanted to see how powerful the other party's body was.

Moreover, close combat was actually a competition of spiritual power and the toughness of the body. If one's body was weak, or if one's spiritual power was insufficient, it was best not to fight in close combat. That would easily cause one to suffer losses.

Of course, Wang Mang was not afraid of close combat, and made no effort to distance himself from the second elder.

"You're courting death!" Seeing that Wang Mang was really going to fight him physically, the second elder sneered and raised his hand, aiming for Wang Mang's head.

"You're the one who's courting death, you old cur!" After dodging the second elder's fist, his own fist smashed toward the other party's chest.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out. The elder reacted quickly and blocked Wang Mang's fist with his arm.

However, Wang Mang did a backflip, and his leg swept out, aiming for the elder's head!

Unfortunately, the elder's reaction was really fast. It seemed that this old fellow was a battle-hardened veteran. Wang Mang's leg collided with the second elder's leg!

The impact caused shockwaves that created crashing waves on the surface of the sea. Within a short time, the two of them had exchanged over a hundred blows.

Unfortunately, the elder's physical body was very strong, so once again, both Wang Mang and the elder were at a stalemate.

This made the second elder even more furious. He had not expected Wang Mang's physical body to be so powerful.

What he found unacceptable was that Wang Mang was equally matched with him despite the latter's cultivation level being lower than his.

At this moment, Wang Mang flanked at the second elder's HP and Energy values.

HP: 3900/4900, Energy: 4200/4900.

Wang Mang's own HP and Energy were not faring much better.

HP: 3700/4500, Energy: 4000/4500.

Although his HP and Energy values were lower than the second elder's, he had reduced the gap between them to just 200 points. If he could keep this up, he would come out on top in the end.

Besides, he had not used his divine powers yet. Thinking this, the corners of Wang Mang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

Moments later, Wang Mang formed a seal with both hands and began to channel the vast spiritual power in his body.

At the same time, the space around Wang Mang's body started to tremble and become unstable. Wisps of white smoke floated out of the spatial cracks and started to float around Wang Mang.

"Void Blade!"

With a furious roar, Wang Mang struck out. Countless sharp blades whizzed out from around his body, moving as fast as lightning.

Seeing this, the black-robed elder was shocked and furious."Spatial divine power?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder focused his own spiritual power to form a barrier around him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, seconds later, something unbelievable happened. The sharp blades actually pierced the barrier.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The sharp blades left bloody wounds on his body, deep enough to see bones. His body was riddled with holes. Furthermore, the sharp blades kept coming. No matter how much he tried to use his spiritual power to block them, it was useless. Even when he dodged them, they pursued him unrelentingly.

"You're courting death!"

In his rage, the black-robed elder charged forward and fought Wang Mang head-on. He condensed giant palm imprints that continuously struck toward Wang Mang.

It was obvious that the black-robed elder had been angered.

Seeing this, Wang Mang sneered. This fellow was going all out, and even using his divine powers in reckless abandon. Thus, he chose to avoid these attacks, which caused the elder's Energy value to rapidly deplete.

The black-robed elder was furious when he saw Wang Mang running around. He roared, "Piece of sh*t, stop dodging and fight me like a man!"

With that said, the black-robed elder used several more divine powers on Wang Mang, each of them at full power. Unfortunately, Wang Mang had no intention of taking the bait, and simply planned to dodge until the elder exhausted himself.

Once he saw the elder's HP and energy values, a cold smile appeared on Wang Mang's face, and he stopped dodging.

Dragon King Whale Clan's Second Elder, HP: 3000/4900, Energy: 1200/4900.

It was time for him to act!
