Chapter 119: Chapter 119
Xu Zhu’s aura rose to an unimaginable height, “I’ll kill you!” he shouted with anger. Anger rose within Xu Zhu, and he glared at Eru hatefully as intense killing intent rose from within him. Xu Zhu’s light blue aura shot up into the sky, emitting pressure upon the entire area around him. “Guh!” Eru grunted; he braced himself, planting his feet on the ground. Xu Zhu’s eyes were filled with rage. He glared at Eru fiercely as he approached closer towards Eru. Every step Xu Zhu took, the air around him crackled.
Filled with fury, Xu Zhu held his club up high. He swung his giant club down, creating an earthquake that encroached towards Eru. Eru rolled sideways, avoiding the earthquake. But then, Eru looked up; he saw Xu Zhu jump high, aiming his giant club at Eru’s head. Eru immediately jumped backwards to avoid Xu Zhu’s giant club. Xu Zhu landed, and a massive crater was created. Eru flared up his aura, sending multiple energy blades towards Xu Zhu. However, the energy blades that Eru threw were not ordinary energy blades.
It’s the vibrating aura that Eru used before on Xu Zhu. Upon seeing Eru’s energy blades were nearing him, Xu Zhu frowned. Xu Zhu tried shielding himself with his giant club. However, Xu Zhu did not come unscathed after that. Blood spurted from Xu Zhu’s shoulders as his armour was cut through again. “Bastard!” Xu Zhu’s expression contorted as he gritted his teeth with anger. The thing with Eru’s vibrating energy blades was that it’s not enough to block them. One needed to avoid it completely, or else it will do damage. It could be said that Eru’s vibrating high-frequency technique was his version of the Kienzan.
Xu Zhu roared in anger as his eyes were filled with fury. Xu Zhu slammed his giant club forward, “Fight me like a man if you dare!” he taunted. However, Eru ignored Xu Zhu as he kept throwing the high-frequency vibrating energy blades towards Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu managed to avoid some of them, but two of Eru’s energy blades went through, leaving a cut mark on Xu Zhu’s cheek and his right leg. “You coward!” Xu Zhu yelled as he manoeuvres himself behind the trees.
Eru panted, ‘The high-frequency vibrating energy blades took so much of my aura reserves and my concentration. I could not draw out this fight,’ Eru thought in his head. Then, Eru began to formulate a plan inside his head to kill Xu Zhu, or at least make him retreat. “If only I could use the Dragon Force Technique, this will be a cinch”, Eru mumbled. Eru pursued Xu Zhu and kept throwing the high frequency vibrating energy blades mixed with a normal energy blade, further confusing Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu gritted his teeth in anger; his eyes were filled with fury as he was forced back to only defending by Eru.

Li Qiye opened his eyes; he leaned back at a tree nearby, feeling that a few of his ribs were cracked. “Urgh, damn it!” Li Qiye clutched his sides, “What about that kid? That bastard is strong.” Li Qiye groaned as he lifted his head forward. “What the hell!?” Li Qiye sat dumbfounded, “How the hell did he do that!?” Li Qiye saw that Xu Zhu’s left arm was severed by Eru’s black sword. After that, Li Qiye saw Xu Zhu raging. However, Eru kept him afar, not letting Xu Zhu get close, injuring them in the process.
Li Qiye squinted his eyes; he scrutinized every single detail. “So that how it was”, Li Qiye nodded in understanding. “Vibration, and a really fast one at that. Nice, maybe I’ll add that move in my arsenal later” Li Qiye pursed his lips, “Shit! If only I had my full strength! That big guy would’ve been nothing in front of me. I could even force back Simbad in my prime.” Li Qiye shook his head, “No matter. Right now, I better recover my strength”, Li Qiye mumbled as he took a lotus stance and meditated.

Xu Zhu kept escaping from Eru pursuit as he used the trees around them as protection. Then, Xu Zhu swung his big club around, felling the trees to obstruct Eru’s path. “For a big guy, he’s quite resourceful”, Eru muttered as he nimbly moved around the collapsing trees. Xu Zhu glanced slightly behind, and he found Eru was still pursuing him intensely. Then, Xu Zhu suddenly stopped. Eru stopped with him, and he found that they were in the middle of a forest. “Smart. Luring me here in order to stop my energy blades, huh. You’re not as powerful as you claim to be”, Eru provoked.
“Hmph!” Xu Zhu crushed a nearby tree with his big club, “Let see you talk big from now on!” he flared up his aura before suddenly charging towards Eru. Xu Zhu spun, tearing down trees on his way. Those trees that Xu Zhu brought down hindered Eru’s vision while he tried avoiding Xu Zhu. Eru tried to get some distance from Xu Zhu, but the latter would not allow Eru to do so. “Tch”, Eru grunted; he was so close to getting hit by Xu Zhu’s giant club that he got chills on his back. Xu Zhu continued his whirlwind of an attack as he continued to corner Eru.
“Hah! Not so good without your distance, huh?” Xu Zhu snorted while he continued to launch a barrage of attacks using his giant club towards Eru. Xu Zhu kept charging towards Eru, toppling more trees on his way. Then, a light bulb appeared inside of Eru’s thought. Eru let out a smirk as he continued to evade, dodge and avoid Xu Zhu’s attacks. “Can you do anything besides running?” Xu Zhu provoked while smirking. Eru pretended to struggle against Xu Zhu while he continued to lead Xu Zhu somewhere. “Hahaha, go on, run! Run like your life depends on it!” Xu Zhu laughed while he pursued Eru.
Eru continued to play dumb as he led Xu Zhu somewhere that the latter would regret. Eru noticed when he followed Xu Zhu that they were heading towards the direction of the Forest of Death. Eru smirked while he ran towards the Forest of Death, luring Xu Zhu in the process. After a while, Eru had successfully lured Xu Zhu inside the Forest of Death. “Hahaha! Run, run for your life! That’s right, all you can do is run! You can only run, but you can’t hide from me!” Xu Zhu shouted while chasing Eru, flailing his giant club around.
Eru ducked; he tried avoiding Xu Zhu’s attack as best as he could while still pretending to be struggling. And finally, Eru and Xu Zhu arrived on the lake in the middle of the Forest of Death. Eru stopped running, turning his body towards Xu Zhu. “You’re done running?” Xu Zhu let out a mocking smirk, “I’ll kill you now!” Xu Zhu did not realize he was now in quite an open space inside the forest. Eru grinned, “Let’s see how you fare!” he then slashed his black sword multiple times, sending a mix of vibrating energy blade and the normal energy blade.
Xu Zhu frowned. Something clicked inside of his head when he saw there was no obstacle to reducing Eru’s energy blades power. “After I lured you inside a forest, you lured me into an open area inside the forest itself. Despicable!” Xu Zhu grunted; he tried retreating into the sea of trees. However, how could Eru not stop what Xu Zhu was trying to do? So, Eru circled around, preventing Xu Zhu from going back to hide behind the trees by sending more energy blades in his way. Meanwhile, since Xu Zhu figured Eru’s method of fighting him, Xu Zhu formulated countermeasures in his head.
Xu Zhu squinted his eyes; he observed every single thing that was happening all around him. Finally, he discovered a small opening in Eru’s barrage of energy blades. Xu Zhu used that opportunity to escape from Eru’s energy blades and into the forest. However, Eru had already counted for this scenario. Eru immediately moved closer towards Xu Zhu, engaging him in a close combat battle. Xu Zhu’s eyes widened in surprise, “I did not expect you to suddenly change your strategy”, he exclaimed.
Eru clicked his tongue, “You talk too much”, Eru said while he slid low, delivering a horizontal cut at Xu Zhu. Eru’s black sword bounce back thanks to Xu Zhu’s armour. “Crap!” Eru pursed his lips. Xu Zhu’s expression turned from horror to excitement in an instant, “Haha! You finally ran out of aura. Unfortunately for you, your life ends here!” Xu Zhu declared. However, instead of feeling dread for his demise, Eru let out a wide smile. “Really? Then, good luck killing me.” Xu Zhu frowned, “What are you—” Xu Zhu did not manage to finish his sentence when he felt a hot breath behind him.
“Awooo!”
