Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 228 - Defeating Tian Hua
Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Defeating Tian Hua
Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Defeating Tian Hua
Tian Hua, one of the top three talents in Sanyuan City, ranked just below Lu Yun.
Before Lu Yun stepped into the Other Shore Realm, the two often sparred. Although every battle ended with Lu Yun’s victory, Tian Hua was not defeated disgracefully, missing victory only by a hair’s breadth.
Thus, some said that Tian Hua was not at all inferior to Lu Yun. The reason he couldn’t win was because Tian Hua knew how to show restraint. After all, the Tian Family was merely an affiliate of the Lu Family. If Tian Hua appeared more outstanding than Lu Yun, it was very likely that the Lu Family would find some pretext to dispose of him.
Prudent self-preservation.
Although it was just a rumor, it also highlighted Tian Hua’s strength.
Boom!
In the pouring rain, Tian Hua attacked forcefully. With a sweep of his palms, the rain around him seemed to turn into two water dragons, following his palms as they struck towards Shi Hao.
Shi Hao swung his fist, parrying casually.
His mastery of techniques had transcended the physical form. Though he was using the Eight Extremes Fist, even its creator would have likely found it hard to recognize at this moment.
Because, he was merely using the force amplification of a Sun-Level advanced Martial Technique, but his moves were whimsical, completely adapting according to the battle situation.
“Water Dragon Chant!” Tian Hua shouted powerfully, and under the control of his palms, the rain really turned into two water dragons, rushing towards Shi Hao.
Being a Water Spirit Root, Tian Hua found himself even more empowered in this particular environment.
He had refrained from using it earlier, wanting to catch his opponent off-guard and win in one strike.
Now, he believed his opportunity had arrived.
Boom, his palms fluttered, and the water dragons roared.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but wonder, just how powerful was the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique?
Should he give it a try?
But he immediately dismissed the idea, because there were too many people around, and the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique was touted by Su Manman as mysterious, apt to be kept as a trump card. If he used it under everyone’s watchful eyes, wouldn’t that be exposing it to the world?
However!
Shi Hao chuckled. As he activated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, suddenly, the two water dragons Tian Hua had formed withered, turning back into water and splashing noisily onto the ground.
What was going on!
Tian Hua was flabbergasted as he suddenly lost his connection with the Water Element.
It was as if he was deeply in love with a woman, things heating up towards marriage, but suddenly another man stepped in, taking his love away, and the woman swiftly abandoned him for the other.
Yes, just like that.
Where’s the Water Element? Damn!
He was shocked and quickly sprang backward, retreating.
This was too eerie and made him extremely wary.
Others didn’t know what had happened, only seeing Tian Hua suddenly withdraw midway through his attack.
As far as they were concerned, Tian Hua’s withdrawal right after the water dragons ceased was a seamless continuation.

Luo Qicai immediately showed displeasure. What was Tian Hua playing at?
Fixing his gaze on Shi Hao, Tian Hua suddenly leaped away, only to return from the high platform in a flash, this time with a sword in his hand.
Clang!
He unsheathed his long sword and thrust it towards Shi Hao.
He was frightened and no longer dared to engage Shi Hao in close combat. After all, the strength of Soul Nurturing lay in Elemental Attacks; thus, if one could execute them while the other could not, how vast would the disparity be?
Deadly!
However, it was different when employing a weapon. With enough distance, Shi Hao, not being an Other Shore powerhouse, couldn’t project his force or Elemental Attacks that far.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh, Tian Hua’s swordplay surged like waves.
His swordsmanship was good, but not comparable to Xiao Hei’s.
After all, Xiao Hei was a Sword Body, possessing a famed reputation.
Shi Hao leaped into the crowd, snatching an umbrella and laughed heartily, “Just borrowing this.”
The one deprived of the umbrella was visibly frustrated. If I say no, would you return it to me?
Using the umbrella as a sword, Shi Hao advanced towards Tian Hua.
Ding!
When the two “swords” collided, sparks flew.
This astonishing sight made everyone wonder, “Isn’t that just a bamboo umbrella? Why does it now seem as if it’s crafted from fine iron?”
If Shi Hao had countered with his bare fists, they wouldn’t have been surprised, as, shrouded by forceful energy, a martial artist can well withstand sharp weapons with his body, unless facing some peerless divine weapon.
But to channel forceful energy externally, to the umbrella?
You must be joking!
Do you think you’re an Other Shore Almighty capable of wielding Dark Force?
After watching for so long, they could still tell Shi Hao was not of the Other Shore Realm.
That is exactly why they were shocked.
Tian Hua was even more stunned; he gawked at Shi Hao as if he was looking at a monster.
“Heh heh,” Shi Hao flicked his “sword” and stabbed towards Tian Hua.
He had taught Xiao Hei the Eight Wastelands Sword Technique, which meant he had learned it himself; the power he wielded was no less formidable than Xiao Hei’s.
Tian Hua instantly snapped back to reality and hurried to defend himself.
Shi Hao’s left fist condensed, and he also launched it.
Eight Extremes Fist.
Tian Hua’s eyes bulged round, “You’re deploying two martial techniques at the same time?”
Using both sword and fist wasn’t surprising, but employing martial techniques with both was a completely different story.
Dual wielding!
A person’s concentration is limited, so they can usually only focus on one technique. It’s like drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other; few can do both perfectly. Hence, rather than drawing a flawed circle and square, it’s better to focus solely on drawing one perfect circle and one square.
Yet, Shi Hao had managed to perfectly execute dual wielding!
My goodness.
Perfectly displaying two martial techniques not only doubled the power, but undoubtedly increased it significantly.
Tian Hua was immediately overwhelmed, struggling to defend.
Speaking of combat experience, he couldn’t possibly compare to Shi Hao; caught off guard by Shi Hao’s small trick, he instantly fell into a disadvantage, left only with the strength to parry.
This made everyone grit their teeth—this mysterious man was incredibly strong.
Why could Shi Hao dual wield?
Simple, the so-called dual wielding is not about using the mind, but the spirit.
In his spirit, there was an integration of an Almighty from the Heaven Building Ladder; could the quality not be high?
Let alone dual wielding, even triple wielding was not beyond him.
Under Shi Hao’s intense suppression, Tian Hua became increasingly desperate, and under such pressure, the pain in his shoulder worsened, making sweat roll down his forehead, which the rain instantly washed away, leaving it unseen.
Bang!
Shi Hao’s punch made Tian Hua stagger back, even turning around his body.
He chuckled and waved his hand, “Go!”
Whoosh, the umbrella in his hand flew out, swift as a beam of light, and plunged directly into Tian Hua’s lower back.
“Ah!” Amid a sky-shattering scream, Tian Hua suddenly fell to the ground, his face deathly pale.
Once one of the top three geniuses of Sanyuan City, he had now fallen to such a state; how pitiful!
Overwhelmed with anger and humiliation, he fainted.
In the distance, the person who had lost his umbrella looked over and decisively shook his head.
He’d better leave the umbrella behind.
Despite it “defeating” one of the city’s top three geniuses, and possibly even being stained with his blood, achieving great glory, it was still better to leave it.
Luo Qicai’s gaze turned icy, and a sudden killing intent surged.
