Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1060 - 1058: Long Live the Patriarch
Jiang Chenchou’s attack was certainly not ineffective. However, at that moment, when Pretty Girl retracted the Asura God’s Sword, the shadowy sword beam was what truly mattered.
The physical form of the Asura God’s Sword now relies on the existence of the Shadow Demon Sword. Essentially, it is still the Shadow Demon Sword, except that the sword beam is that of the Asura God’s Sword. If it had been the super divine weapon Asura God’s Sword here, could the Immortal Golden Body have possibly withstood it?
Therefore, when employing the Asura God’s Sword, the intrinsic abilities of the Shadow Demon Sword are embedded. Although it’s been refined by the Asura God’s Sword, some traits of the Shadow Demon Sword still persist. Among them, the most critical trait of the Shadow Demon Sword is its ability to copy.
That grey-black sword shadow was a copy of a previous strike by the Asura God’s Sword. Though it seemed insignificant, the attack was virtually no different from that of the Asura God’s Sword, except that its power was only fifty percent of the true strike of the Asura God’s Sword.
Even if it was only fifty percent, it represented the Sword Intent of Judgement! This sword intent, when facing Jiang Chenchou’s full-force strike, indeed fell short in attacking the enemy. But it was sufficient to protect oneself. It was precisely this sword intent that carved out a space within Jiang Chenchou’s magma plume, ensuring Pretty Girl remained unharmed by it.
This was the first time Pretty Girl utilized this sword shadow ability, and she wasn’t very familiar with it; otherwise, the sword shadow would have accompanied the sword beam in the attack. It was uncertain whether Jiang Chenchou could have unleashed his full-force strike if that had been the case. Even if the sword shadow couldn’t entirely break through the magma plume, causing it to explode before Jiang Chenchou would have troubled him enough.
But regardless, Pretty Girl still won. Despite not being entirely familiar with her own abilities, she managed to use a blend of the White Tiger Transformation and Peacock Transformation, relying on the strategic victory of the Forest of Hell, demonstrating formidable strength in this battle for the championship.
Having returned to the resting area, Pretty Girl’s face was somewhat pale. Facing such a powerful opponent had taken a toll on her. However, her gaze was now remarkably determined.
Ever since discussing with her mothers last time, she had made a resolution to strive for victory with all her might, aiming to become the ultimate champion. Only by doing so could she grasp her own destiny in her hands. By then, not even Emperors could easily influence her choices. And with the support of the White Tiger Great Demon King and the Undying Great Demon King behind her, once she ascended to the throne, she would represent the largest power faction within the Tianyu Empire.
Of course, in her heart, she deliberately omitted her biological father. She didn’t hold any good feelings towards the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor either. As long as her mother didn’t forgive him, Pretty Girl would certainly not take the initiative to reach out to Great Monster Emperor Lin Ximo.
Be it Tang San against Li Zhaopeng or Pretty Girl against Jiang Chenchou, both matches were extremely exciting and stunning.
The spectators were agitated by the sheer exhilaration. This is what a true top-level confrontation is!
And Tang San, having watched the match, could not hide the smile on his face. Little Beauty was truly growing up. Facing such a formidable enemy without his guidance, although she was not perfect, she had still won the battle. Undoubtedly, such a confrontation was the most conducive to fostering her growth.
"Let’s go!" Tang San waved to Ning Chenen.
Ning Chenen, however, had a somewhat curious expression, saying, "Brother Jin, you really have good taste! Honestly, I didn’t expect City Lord Mei to possess such strength. It seems she will also be a very daunting opponent in the final championship battle."
Tang San smiled faintly and said, "Of course, could the woman I like be anything but strong?"
Ning Chenen sighed and commented, "What a pity! I’m already married, and Lan Moqian would never allow me any other thoughts, otherwise, I would have liked to try for this martial contest for marriage."
Tang San shook his head and replied, "No, you shouldn’t regret it. If you were to do so, you would become my rival in love. Haha! Don’t forget to discuss my proposal with your Crown Princess when you get back."
After finishing, Tang San greeted the elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan and departed from the rest area.
As soon as they left the competition area, the elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan couldn’t help but let out thunderous cheers. Jin Miaosen even rushed towards Tang San, hugged him around the waist, and in the next instant, tossed him into the air.
"Long live the patriarch, long live, long live!"
The Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders could not care less about the sideward glances from the Ancestral Court Imperial Guard outside the competition field entrance, shouting and cheering wildly.
The Great Elder had already been overwhelmed with emotion, shedding old tears. The final, this is the final competition!
Moreover, ever since Tang San defeated Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng today, how could they not recognize the potential of their own patriarch!
Together with the Ferocious Dragon, the strength of their patriarch had reached a standard comparable to a low-ranked Emperor. Not to mention, the patriarch had not yet truly become an Emperor.
Even within the Ancestral Court, the patriarch could mobilize the power of the Tree Ancestor to aid in battle, a testament to the strength of his bloodline. It turns out, the patriarch has been playing possum all along. And now, they have entered the final competition to become one of the six contenders vying for the throne.
Perhaps, perhaps he might truly secure a position of an Emperor! If that happens, wouldn’t the Blue Gold Tree Clan see the return of the Tree Ancestor’s glorious days?
Realizing all this, how could the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders not be overwhelmed with joy and surprise. For a moment, their emotions were almost beyond their control.
Tang San sighed inwardly, if there was another way, he would not have wished to reveal his abilities like this. But facing Li Zhaopeng, who possessed the Bead of Misfortune, without using the ability of the Heavenly Fox Transformation, defeating his opponent was the best choice today.
After being tossed into the air three times by the elders, Tang San was finally let down.
"Bro, you’ve really kept us in the dark so bitterly! Are you really that powerful? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?" Jin Miaosen complained.
Tang San laughed, "What should I tell you? I haven’t hidden anything! Don’t you know I have the inheritance of the Tree Ancestor? When I killed the Diamond Elf King, didn’t I already summon the projection of the Tree Ancestor?"
Jin Miaosen stared at him dumbfounded, finding himself at a loss for words. Wasn’t it so? When Tang San faced the Diamond Elf King, he showed even more powerful force. The Tree Ancestor seemed almost as if it descended in its true form.
And all clansmen subconsciously thought it was because the Tree Ancestor was close by. They guessed it would be tough once the distance increased.
But indeed, Tang San himself had never said that he couldn’t summon the power of the Tree Ancestor at a greater distance!
From today’s competition, it can be seen that the power of the Tree Ancestor is not as strong as when facing the Diamond Elf King, but it was enough. This means that Jin Miaolin has always been more powerful than they had imagined.
"Let’s go, go back and rest properly. The competition is not over yet." He has now won enough matches. But there are still three more to go. These three need to be well-utilized.
His next three opponents are Ning Chenen, Sunfire King, and a Great Demon King level whistleblower from the Undying Fire Phoenix one branch.
Looking at the current competition standings, Ning Chenen still has a chance to advance and contend for the top three spots, as his performance is currently better than Jin Anguo’s. As for the Sunfire King and the Undying Fire Phoenix Demon King, their chances are more elusive, especially the Demon King from the Fire Phoenix Tribe, who hasn’t won a single match yet and is almost certainly doomed to be eliminated. Of course, there might be a possibility of him securing a victory in today’s competition and striving for a slim chance, but that possibility is not likely to exist anymore.
