“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The spiritual birds and celestial bodies continuously collided, erupting into waves of spiritual energy. Some spiritual birds and celestial bodies disintegrated from the impacts of the spiritual energy waves and fluctuations before even colliding, then turning into rolling waves of spiritual energy and fluctuations that surged in all directions.
Among the over a thousand spiritual birds, some still evaded the impacts of the small celestial body spiritual forms or broke through the weaker small celestial body spiritual forms without disintegrating themselves, continuing to charge towards Ouyang Peng.
Meanwhile, the star chart, which had originally only surged forward, redirected numerous celestial bodies after some spiritual birds broke through, sending them shooting back towards those incoming spiritual bird forms.
Of course, there were even more celestial bodies than spiritual birds, so hundreds of small celestial bodies continued hurtling towards Shangguan Yu like meteors streaking across the sky.
Gazing at the small celestial bodies streaking through the air towards him, Shangguan Yu furrowed his brows slightly. He no longer controlled the spiritual birds to evade but instead let them all charge forward unchecked.
Then, he focused his energy on defence, summoning spiritual power once more to form a barrier enveloping his entire body, allowing those meteor-like small celestial bodies to shoot towards him.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Those celestial bodies continuously struck the spiritual power barrier, successively disintegrating and turning into waves of energy that rippled outwards.
In the end, all hundreds of celestial bodies collided, yet none broke through Shangguan Yu’s spiritual power defensive barrier.
Meanwhile, in the forward position, without Shangguan Yu’s control, the spiritual birds were all struck by the small celestial bodies and completely disintegrated.
However, numerous spiritual power fluctuations surged towards Ouyang Peng. He dodged left and right, yet was still repelled by some of the spiritual power fluctuations.
Compared to Shangguan Yu, who remained unscathed ahead, Ouyang Peng appeared somewhat dishevelled.
Looking at Shangguan Yu, who was completely unharmed in front, Ouyang Peng could not help but furrow his brows deeply.
At this moment, Shangguan Yu spoke earnestly: “You have some skill, enough to make me take this seriously!”
Hearing this, the members of the Ouyang family all furrowed their brows.
After several strikes, with the power increasing several times from the beginning to the end, yet for Shangguan Yu, it had merely been playing around?
“Worthily the Shangguan family’s strongest combatant!” The members of the Ouyang family all thought inwardly, their eyes revealing concern.
“Sizzle!”
At this time, before Shangguan Yu, a four-bladed flying dart spiritual form with a diameter of five or six zhang coalesced. Terrifying mental pressure emanated from that four-bladed flying dart spiritual form.
The gigantic four-bladed flying dart began to rotate, its speed increasing faster and faster. Around it, a whirlwind followed suit, and that whirlwind grew larger and larger. In no time at all, it turned into a small tornado, emitting bursts of howling sounds, vast and resounding.
“So powerful!” Many people felt alarmed inwardly.
The expressions of the Ouyang family members all changed slightly.
“Brother Shangguan Yu was indeed just toying with Ouyang Peng earlier!”
“This strike far surpasses sixth-grade initial-level spiritual power. Let us see how Ouyang Peng blocks it!”
The members of the Shangguan family all became delighted, their faces showing expressions of eager anticipation.
Opposite that small tornado, Ouyang Peng’s brows were tightly knit, his eyes gleaming with cold light. He immediately shouted: “Celestial Body Main Spirit!”
“Sizzle!” Terrifying spiritual power fluctuations surged out, and an irregular celestial body several dozen zhang in volume coalesced into form. That somewhat blurry celestial body gathered an overwhelmingly tyrannical power, with vast mental pressure enveloping all directions. Even the crowd far outside the battlefield felt that mental pressure.
“He has unleashed the main spirit!”
The crowd’s gazes fixed intently. This was undoubtedly Ouyang Peng’s strongest attack. If even the main spirit could not gain the upper hand, then Ouyang Peng probably would not last much longer.
“Kill!”
Shangguan Yu shouted loudly, and the rotating gigantic four-bladed flying dart spiritual form, carrying the small tornado, surged forward in attack.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Peng’s main spirit celestial body moved even faster, streaking through the sky like a meteor and instantly smashing towards the small tornado.
Yet when it was still a hundred zhang away, about to smash into the small tornado, that several-dozen-zhang celestial body suddenly exploded apart.
Only a small portion of the shattered star fragments and stones smashed towards the gigantic four-bladed flying dart spiritual form, while the majority of the shattered stone spiritual forms shot out violently from all directions: up, down, left, and right.
Some shattered stone spiritual forms directly passed through the tornado above and below, surging forward unimpeded.
Others continued shooting forward from the left and right directions.
The celestial body had been fast to begin with, and the speed of the exploding fragments was even more explosive, charging towards Shangguan Yu at lightning speed.
“What!”
Shangguan Yu’s expression changed. He had never imagined that the opponent’s celestial body main spirit could attack in such a manner.
Gazing at the incoming shattered stone spiritual forms from the celestial body, he hurriedly summoned his strongest spiritual power, forming a barrier to block in front of him.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Countless shattered stone spiritual forms bombarded the defensive barrier almost instantaneously in succession.
Those shattered stone spiritual forms were stronger than imagined. Shangguan Yu’s power defence was instantly shattered.
Several shattered stone spiritual forms struck Shangguan Yu’s body, erupting into vast waves of energy and fluctuations. A large mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Shangguan Yu’s body was blasted far away.
On the other side, the small portion of shattered stones from the celestial body’s explosion could not block the gigantic four-bladed flying dart spiritual form at all. After being blasted apart, the now-faded gigantic four-bladed flying dart spiritual form rotated and slashed onto Ouyang Peng’s body.
Ouyang Peng’s clothes were torn, and not only did he spray a large mouthful of blood from his mouth, but blood also spurted from his chest.
After the gigantic four-bladed flying dart spiritual form rotated and slashed, it too disintegrated into enormous waves of energy and fluctuations, amplifying the impact force and blasting Ouyang Peng’s entire body far away.
In that instant, everyone was stunned.
Ouyang Peng had clearly employed a strategy of trading injury for injury, using only a small portion of his power to block while splitting the majority to attack separately.
His injuries were evidently far heavier than Shangguan Yu’s.
However, this also sufficiently demonstrated Ouyang Peng’s strength. Otherwise, even splitting most of a strike’s power would not have been enough to injure Shangguan Yu.
“Shangguan Yu is injured?”
“How is this possible?”
Many of Shangguan Yu’s supporters cried out in disbelief. Shangguan Yu was, after all, the Shangguan family’s strongest fighter, whereas Ouyang Peng clearly was not.
Although Ouyang Peng was also injured, and more severely.
But the Ouyang family still had their strongest, Ouyang Chen, waiting in reserve.
Whereas Shangguan Yu had sustained considerable injury in the first match, making it evidently more difficult to sweep through the next two battles.
“This main spirit attack was somewhat unexpected!” Even Lin Xiao thought inwardly.
He had not anticipated such an attack either. If their strengths were comparable, he probably would have been injured by the opponent as well.
He could not help but sigh that spiritual controller families were indeed extraordinary. The geniuses they cultivated were not simple characters.
Shangguan Tong furrowed her brows slightly, and Shangguan Xiong and the others also furrowed their brows slightly. Evidently, they too had not expected Shangguan Yu to be injured in this first match.
A peculiar arc curved at the corner of Ouyang Kuo’s mouth.
In a short time, within the crowd’s sight, the two bodies came to a halt in the void far opposite each other.
Although Ouyang Peng’s injuries were not light, he could still stand firm in the void. His eyes fixed on Shangguan Yu as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and could not help but burst into laughter: “Hahaha, this is how our Ouyang family depletes your strength, Shangguan Yu. I would like to see how you sweep through our Ouyang family!”
Shangguan Yu was furious beyond measure, his face flushing with intense anger. He had never imagined that the opponent could actually injure him.
“Get lost!!!”
A thunderous roar echoed, and Shangguan Yu directly summoned his main spirit.
