Chapter 564 Overcoming Force with Skill

"Boom!!"In the star-studded universe.The black dragon roared, head held high!Li An's eyes sharpened as he stared ahead, constantly monitoring his opponent's condition."Disperse!" A furious shout rang out from within the black flames.The Underworld Emperor unleashed golden lightning, shattering the black dragon.His peripheral vision caught the golden blood flowing from his arm, his gaze darkening slightly.Li An pressed his advantage, asking during his charge, "Do gods bleed too?"This enraged the Underworld Emperor, who snapped, "Don't be so arrogant!""Detonate!"Golden lightning erupted beneath Li An's feet, like detonating a super bomb.But Li An was incredibly fast; by the time the explosion hit, he was already airborne, only grazed by the aftershock. Then, he lowered his head and unleashed a black fire fist.Black flames rapidly swirled around the embers of the golden lightning.The hunt begins! The Underworld Emperor watched all this, his eyes growing increasingly sinister.Is it real?That black flame can really devour my Sequence Zero power?!Even if it only devours some embers, it's still unprecedented.A sense of unease rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it and raised his right hand!The Underworld Emperor's right hand transformed into a hand cannon, unleashing a golden pillar of light formed from the convergence of destructive and annihilating power!"Boom!" The pillar of light pierced the sky. Li An dodged in time, but then his right arm swung horizontally.The golden pillar of light swept 180 degrees."Whoosh!" The world gasped.That was close!Li An moved like a dragon, a flawless flash of martial intent dodging the devastating attack, then pressed forward relentlessly.Black flames swirled around the golden pillar of light, incredibly agile.On the earth.Many of Ang Lee's colleagues were thrilled by this scene.Here it comes—the classic case of using skill to overcome strength!From Ang Lee's rise to fame until today, he has won against stronger opponents far more often than he has dominated them.Moreover, his victories against stronger opponents don't rely on sneak attacks or tricks, but on one thing—skill!In this peak battle where energy is like a sea, is skill still useful?Ang Lee is about to show the world the answer!The Underworld Emperor, unable to land his blows, was furious and resorted to his old trick, using the Heavenly Technique Nine Heavens.Golden lightning covered the sea of ​​stars, destroying meteorites in its path and annihilating any space it touched.But he forgot.Last time, when the Underworld Emperor used this move, Ang Lee managed to dodge it and land a punch on his face.This time, Ang Lee would only handle it with even greater ease.He didn't dodge.Black flames spread!Divinity spread!Li An's mind raced. Watching the golden lightning around him, broken by divine intervention, he understood that these so-called gods weren't as terrifying as they seemed.The power fluctuations of the Underworld Emperor were no different from those of mortals.Once such a large-scale attack was unleashed, the energy decreased with distance.The divine intervention easily broke through, and the spreading black fire devoured the embers.Li An stood expressionless in a corner of the sea of ​​lightning, impervious to its power.The Underworld Emperor stared at this scene, feeling a surge of frustration.It was useless?This time, the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt only lasted for a dozen seconds before disappearing.The Underworld Emperor abandoned this move and instead unleashed another."Heavenly Art: Soul Lock!"The Underworld Emperor's pupils fixed on Li An, and with a sudden jolt, his hands merged with the four elements, unleashing two long golden snakes.These lightning-stirring golden snakes could actually curve and track him.Li An's pupils darted left and right.How could he break this move? He thought for three seconds, dodged for three seconds.During those three seconds, the Underworld Emperor let out a cold laugh.It seemed Li An couldn't break this move.Then he'd escalate it!He unleashed four more long snakes!Six golden lightning snakes danced through the universe, relentlessly pursuing him.But Li An had already found a way out.Martial Intent Transformation activated!His body exploded, splitting into dozens of parts, with the six long snakes chasing after one of them.But that was only a small part of Li An's body.The headquarters of Martial Intent Transformation manipulated that tiny segment at this moment.The segment forcibly circled the long snakes.Unbeknownst to many, the headquarters had somehow stepped on the six long snakes.Black flames spread out!Divinity struck the lightning snakes directly at their vital point!Under everyone's watchful eyes!"Bang!" One lightning snake exploded!Black flames devoured the embers!Li An multitasked.The area was still flashing rapidly. Headquarters stepped on the second lightning bolt, like riding a serpentine skateboard through space."Release!"The second bolt exploded!Then, he repeated the technique, the third, the fourth, exploding incredibly fast.At this moment, humanity looked up, all the spectators holding their breath.So cool!Until the sixth lightning serpent was released.People couldn't help but clench their fists tightly."Beautiful!"But then, the previously silent Underworld Emperor suddenly appeared behind Li An, raising his golden lightning longsword.Lightning speed is inherently among the fastest in the world.The longsword slashed down.Everything happened in an instant.Li An seemed not to have reacted, not even turning his head.At that moment, he lowered his head and softly commanded, "Withdraw!" The six black serpents flying in the starry sky, the black flames left behind as they devoured the embers, simultaneously shot towards Li An's back—that is, towards the Dark Emperor's back—like six arrows released from a bow.And their speed was no slower than the Dark Emperor's, for these black flame arrows were imbued with the Dark Emperor's power.Six sonic booms resounded.A long sword slashed into Li An's back, drawing a long line of blood.The audience's hearts skipped a beat, but they immediately tensed up, for the six released swords had also pierced the Dark Emperor's back.One had a sword wound, the other an arrow wound.It seemed Li An's injury was more severe.But Li An had an advantage, because he knew there was a sword behind him, while the Dark Emperor was unaware of the arrow, momentarily stunned upon being wounded.In that instant, Li An turned his head and threw a punch.The second punch slammed heavily into the Dark Emperor's fingers.The people were somewhat bewildered.Why smash the Underworld Emperor's finger?Li An's face suddenly contorted with rage, his entire body erupting with power."Get down here!" he roared, his eyes hardening as he channeled immense force."Crack." A sound of bone breaking rang out.The Underworld Emperor's finger, adorned with a storage ring, snapped open, ripped off by Li An!He then staggered back a thousand miles, gasping for breath, his black hair soaked with sweat, the knife wounds on his back prominent and worrying.Li An, however, let out a long sigh and quickly retrieved the Underworld Emperor's ring.The Underworld Emperor, on the other hand, with a severed finger and several arrow wounds on his back, looked even more wretched.Because that spatial ring contained the Ancient God's Leather Armor!Li An couldn't open the ring, but in doing so, he had also lost this trump card.Suddenly, the Underworld Emperor's unease deepened.Then, crackling sounds emanated from his body as the Heavenly Poison was extinguished by his divine power, but his injuries did not improve rapidly.In contrast, Li An's wounds were healing at a visible speed."Damn it!" the Underworld Emperor cursed angrily, his frustration growing.
