Chapter 1392 The First Cardinal (3)

?1392 The First Cardinal (3)

Tang Shaoyang activated the Domain of Paragon Armament. All kinds of weapons started to spawn, and this would be his first God Rank after the battle against the Divine Church. He was not expecting to fight another God Rank this fast.

If it was back then, he might use True Dragon Transformation right away. However, he was confident in himself because of his Chaos Energy. He killed several God Ranks before without using the True Dragon Transformation and before he got Chaos Energy. The current him should be enough to fight Parmes.

Parmes took out a wooden stick and lightning immediately shrouded the stick. It looked like a stick made of lightning from the outside. His figure then flashed toward Tang Shaoyang. It was too fast for the adventurers to catch up. What they saw was Parmesʼ figure blinking and appearing again in front of Tang Shaoyang. That was too fast for their eyes.

Parmes swung the stick down toward Tang Shaoyang and met with the shield. The lightning burst out in all directions upon hitting the metal shield. There was no crack on the shield despite how terrifying the impact was. His figure flashed again just like lightning, moving around Tang Shaoyang and trying to use his speed to catch Tang Shaoyang from behind.

Bang!

The lightning shield was met with the shield once more. It was as if his enemy could read his movement or maybe even look into the future. However, Parmes was confident with his speed as he kept moving around Tang Shaoyang, trying to attack from the blind spot. But his strike was futile because blocked by the shield.

Ladirma could only stare at the fight from a distance. It looked like a lightning show where the lightning would spark after the banging sound against the shield. The only one he could see was Tang Shaoyang, who did not move a single inch despite the attack from the God Rank.

”Are you lying to me, kids? You said Master was a Demi-God Rank!? Can you explain this?” He turned toward Maru and the other three beastmen.

”How am I supposed to know his actual rank? He said he was a Demi-God Rank, so what am I supposed to answer you?” Maru himself was shocked. He thought they were done for when the person revealed his actual strength. But he did not expect Tang Shaoyang was also a God Rank, ”That just makes sense since he comes to kill Gods. He was fooling us.”

Rumble!

Suddenly a massive lightning came down from the sky and struck down Tang Shaoyang. A figure was crushed down by the explosion, and the adventurers were worried something happened to Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang was their safe card from getting killed by Parmes for betraying The Adventurer Guild.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang was fine from the strike as he landed on his feet. His scale and shield were smoked because of the lightning. He blocked all the attacks, but he was annoyed that he couldnʼt do anything to counter Parmesʼ speed. The moment [Battle Sense] went on, Parmes was already on his face. There was no choice but to block.

That was right, he was troubled to see Parmes even if he relied on his Spirit Vision. What he saw from Spirit Vision was zaps of lightning, and there were a lot of them around him. He did not know which one was Parmes.

He saw the zapping lightning again, making a static noise in the air. That was the signal that Parmes was coming. A hundred slayer blades formed around him. He was ready to catch the lightning rat with his blade.

His Battle Sense went off from his right direction, and he directed all the blades there. However, his blades went through the empty air. A hundred blades stuck to the ground, and Parmes was right in front of him. He swung the stick with his right, attacking from the side which was easily blocked by the shield.

Bang!

The spark went all over again, but this time, Parmes did not immediately leave. He prepared the following attack. The lightning buzzed and gathered in his left hand. It was not just Tang Shaoyang who was frustrated not being able to land a hit or a counter, but also Parmes. The latter was infuriated that he could not land a single hit in that ten-minute brawl.

The moment his Battle Sense went off for the second time, Tang Shaoyang immediately used the Ninth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Azure Dragon. The force of Azure Dragon and Chaos Energy mixed together in his right hand. It was a split-second decision, and he followed with The Heavenly Crushing Strike.

The image of Azure Dragon formed behind Tang Shaoyang, going for Parmes as he delivered the fist. The fist met with the lightning.

Boom!

Roar!

The explosion was followed by the dragonʼs roar as the area was covered in chaos energy residue. It was not so good for Parmes as he was flung backward from the clash. His lightning was completely overwhelmed by the Chaos Energy as the fist hit his chest. Not just that, he could feel that his lightning weakened as they clashed. It was a weird feeling that there was something that made his lightning weak right after the clash. That was the reason why he lost so badly in that clash.

Parmes was holding his chest where the fist hit him. The fist mark sank down on his chest as he coughed blood. If not for his elemental body, he felt like he would be dead. The force behind the fist was mostly neutralized by the lightning. If not for that, he felt like the fist would go through his body.

”God Rank or Demi-God Rank is the same heh!?” Right after he heard the voice, Parmes felt a crushing pain on his chin.

Tang Shaoyang used Blink and caught Parmes off guard. He landed his palm on Parmesʼ chin, pushing The First Cardinalʼs body into the air. The lightning started to make a static noise, and Tang Shaoyang was quick with his reaction. He was not going to let Parmes escape again.

Before Parmes could really move, Tang Shaoyang grabbed the ankle. The black flame blazed out from his right hand, fighting the lightning. At the same time, he activated Energy Destruction Touch on his hand. To his surprise, the Energy Destruction Touch was not enough to cancel the elemental body. It just weakened the lightning in his hand.

Tang Shaoyang pulled Parmes and slammed him to the ground.

Thump!

It made a loud thumping noise as the ground cracked. Tang Shaoyang did not let go of his grip on the ankle. He raised his left hand and a spear flew toward his hand. The moment the spear was held in his palm, he thrust it down right at Parmesʼ face.

The spear reached the face, and Parmes screamed in pain. However, the spear broke into pieces instead of piercing through Parmesʼ head. The elemental body was harder than the weapon from his Domain of Paragon Armament.

Parmes kicked the air, struggling to break free from the grip. But Tang Shaoyang held him tight and raised Parmes to the air once more before slamming the body down to the ground. He repeated the same action, but not just once, but two times.

Then he drew the second weapon which was a sword. He swung the sword to Parmesʼ neck. Again, it was the same scene where the sword broke into pieces and Parmes screamed in pain.

Tang Shaoyang was not going to stop at the second weapon. He pulled the third weapon, a hammer. The hammer had a pointy surface instead of the usual blunt surface. He brought the hammer down to Parmesʼ face for the second time.

Thump!

Parmesʼ head sunk into the ground from the result as he screamed louder. And the hammer broke into pieces again. As he was about to summon the fourth weapon, The First Cardinal took out the second stick from his inventory. The stick was covered in lightning in an instant, and Parmes swept the stick, hitting Tang Shaoyangʼs feet.

Tang Shaoyang was caught off guard as he lost his footing. He saw the dark cloud in the sky, and he lost his grip on Parmes.

Parmes, however, did not try to escape from Tang Shaoyang. He hovered above Tang Shaoyang and slammed the stick toward his face. It was as if he was doing a payback for what he had experienced just now.

Tang Shaoyang saw the afterimage of a lightning bird from this strike. But he was not going to receive the hit like Parmes as The Heavenly Black Tortoiseʼs shell formed above him. The stick hit the shell and bounced off as the lightning sparked all over.

Parmesʼ figure flashed to the sky as his stick bounced off. But he did not escape as he prepared for Tang Shaoyang. A giant lightning bird formed behind him in the sky. The birdʼs feather was made of lightning, and it stood behind Parmes majestically, looking down at everyone below him.
