The Black Market Chapter 172 - Earth-Shattering Confrontation

"Insolent human! Die!" The beast king's half-human and half-dragon face distorted in anger as he shouted a baleful roar.

He then flew straight towards Cale with a flapped of his draconic wings causing the air to produce a ripping sound. 

Facing the beast king's anger, Cale flashed a broad grin. He raised his Void Wolf Immortal s.h.i.+eld and flapped his demonic wings. He wanted to clash head-on with the beast king's attack!

"What the h.e.l.l?! Does he want to have a frontal battle with our beast king?! Is that human tired of living?" 

"Foolish human! The beast king's might is unrivaled under the heavens. Even the emperor of the Celestial Sword Empire does not dare fight with him head-on."

The remaining beast generals sneered after seeing Cale's actions. They did not believe that he had the strength to confront their beast king.  Even the three lords of the Death Forest were wary of the beast king's strength.

In their minds, the humans had a much weaker body than them. That's why they firmly believe that no one was capable of defeating their beast king. Not even the Celestial Sword Empire's emperor, Aventus Doomblade.

With the emperor's current state, he would not even be able to fight with the beast king. Although he was already completely healed from the Soul Devouring Demonic Poison, his body was still not on his peak condition. He had no problems with confronting weaker Immortal-Cla.s.s level experts, but if he were to fight against the beast king who was infinitely close to reaching the Earth Enlightenment Realm, he would not even last under ten moves.

After careful consideration, Old Zhang a.s.sured him that they would be able to repel the beast tide. 

Cale's s.h.i.+eld and the beast king's claw met in midair causing another earth-shaking explosion to erupt. 

"Booom!"

The beast king wrapped his arms with his elemental essence making it almost as powerful as an Immortal level weapon. 

Cale was surprised at the beast king's resilient physique but did not think too much about it. He hasn't even performed his Devil Arcanum Sword Movement nor used his Advanced Sword Intent. 

He wanted to see whether he can overpower the beast king without using both powers. But since he was unable to do so, he decided to no longer hold back. 

Cale took several steps backward and removed his s.h.i.+eld. 

His actions stunned everyone present. Even the human experts thought that he had become insane.

When they saw how his s.h.i.+eld blocked the beast king's attack earlier, they knew that it was no ordinary s.h.i.+eld. Perhaps it's even an Immortal level item.

"What is he doing? Why is he removing his s.h.i.+eld?" Old man Zhang frowned, but he knew that Cale was not a reckless man. He must have some reasons for doing such a thing.

He gritted his teeth and chose to believe in Cale. "Soldiers of the Celestial Sword Empire! Crush these savage beasts while our experts fight with their generals! Grand General Ling Tian, lead them in battle!" Old Zhang shouted loudly causing the soldiers to regain their senses.

While raising their weapons in the air, the soldiers rushed towards the savage beasts under the fearless leaders.h.i.+p of their grand general.

"Fight! For the Celestial Sword Empire!"

"For the empire!"

The Immortal-Cla.s.s level experts of the empire also rushed towards the remaining beast generals. 

"Die you savage beasts!"

Meanwhile, Cale completed his stance and slashed his sword at the beast king. "First Sword Movement, Roaring Dragon Slas.h.!.+"

A familiar draconic cry resounded as a huge dragon phantom emerged after Cale slashed his sword. 

The dragon phantom opened its huge mouth as if it wanted to devour the beast king alive.

The beast king snorted in disdain and emitted a draconic roar seemingly unbothered by the dragon phantom's dreadful aura. "Just a mere dragon phantom! If it were a real dragon, I would have admitted defeat, but if you think that this is enough to defeat me, then you are too naive!" 

The beast king gathered the elemental essence in his arms causing it to enlarge by more than three times. He then released a dreadful punch that produced a black aura that clashed with the dragon phantom.

"Booooooomm!!"

Both of their attacks met causing a violent explosion that shook the entire battlefield. 

The two experts were thrown away because of the impact. 

Cale spat a mouthful of blood while glaring at the beast king in surprise. "What?!"

AIthough it was not his strongest attack, it was still the first sword movement of the Devil Arcanum Sword Movement. 

The beast king felt his arm go numb as he spat mouthfuls of blood. He was staring intently at Cale with intense shock in his heart. What he used earlier was the skill of a true dragon. It was a skill pa.s.sed down through generations to the newly elected beast kings. And only someone with dragon bloodline was able to train the skill. 'Who the h.e.l.l is this human?! He was actually able to contend against my Dragon Resonance Heart Mantra's first stance!'

Cale grimly looked at the beast king before summoning his clones to perform the second movement. "Second Sword Movement, Thousand Sword Strikes!" 

The beast king angrily snarled while invoking his dragon bloodline. Although he was not a true dragon descendant, his dragon bloodline was many times thicker than the blue serpent's dragon bloodline. 

The beast king transformed into a flood dragon and spat a burst of thick purple flames to counter Cale's attack.

"Booooooom!!"

Another loud explosion echoed out after their attacks met.

Everyone stopped their fight to watch the battle between Cale and the beast king. They clenched their fists while staring deeply at the two experts. They might even learn something from their battle.

They could hardly see both experts' shadow due to their shocking speed. Only a few top Immortal-Cla.s.s level experts were able to faintly capture their confrontation. They were in awe at the powers released by the both of them.

With blood all over his body, the beast king released another draconic roar as he spouted a breath of hot flames towards Cale. 

"Rooooooaaarr!"

Cale watched the incoming fireball and sighed to himself. "You leave me with no choice. Since that's the case. Third Sword Movement, Floating Flower Sword Rain!"
