C1040 Admit Defeat
Huo Fenghuang's cultivation base was low. She didn't know how Pang Shiyuan managed to dodge this fatal strike, but Huo Xiucheng knew.
"Lightning Escape Technique! He actually knows Lightning Evasion!" A bitter smile appeared on Huo Xiucheng's face. The Escape Technique was an existence that was one level higher than the Flight Technique. After the ancient times, the Escape Technique of Spirit Realm had been lost. But now... Pang Shiyuan had used it.
In terms of flying speed, the escape technique couldn't be compared to the flying technique, but the escape technique wasn't the flying technique, but the combat technique.
It was not an exaggeration to say that once a cultivator cultivated a profound flying technique, they would be invincible against opponents of the same level.
There was only one way to defeat the opponent, and that was to exhaust the opponent's magic power so that he could not use escape arts.
But was it possible now? Pang Shiyuan's energy was even more profound than Huo Xiucheng's. He was afraid that before Pang Shiyuan's energy could be used up, Fire Cultivation City had already fallen under the heavenly lightning.
Why was Lee Hao so confident that Pang Shiyuan could win? It was because Lee Hao knew that Pang Shiyuan knew the lightning escape technique. This was what he had taught Pang Shiyuan.
With the Lightning Evasion, Pang Shiyuan could appear anywhere within a hundred mile radius, unless Huo Xiucheng's attack could cover a hundred miles.
Could Huo Xiucheng do it? Of course he could. If a Tribulation-experiencing Period warrior couldn't even cover a hundred miles, then what was he supposed to do?
But was that useful? If Pang Shiyuan was a Divine Clone cultivator, then Huo Xiucheng would be useful. However, Pang Shiyuan was a Tribulation-experiencing Period warrior with a higher cultivation base than him, so his scattered attacks wouldn't be able to do anything to Pang Shiyuan.
Pang Shiyuan used the Lightning Escape Technique to dodge Huo Xiucheng's deadly strike. When he reappeared, he was already in another direction. Without any pause, he used the Five Lightning True Technique once again.
Boom! Boom!
Boooooooom!
A bolt of heavenly lightning struck Huo Xiucheng's body, causing him to almost cough up blood. He was depressed, but because his Numinous Treasure was about to be destroyed by the heavenly lightning, he suffered a backlash.
Huo Xiucheng was sure that today's battle was the most cowardly battle he had ever experienced in his thousands of years of cultivation.
He couldn't hit the enemy, but he couldn't dodge the enemy's attack. Could there be anything more tragic than this in the world?
Was he really going to admit defeat?
Huo Xiucheng found it hard to speak for a moment. One should know that he was a great cultivator who could transcend his tribulation, a famous existence in the Spirit Realm. How could he go and look at the city gates?
Should he just run away? That was possible! Without the restriction of the formation, even if Huo Xiucheng wasn't a match for Pang Shiyuan, Pang Shiyuan wouldn't be able to do anything to him even if he wanted to run away.
However, it wasn't that easy to run. Putting aside the fact that Huo Fenghuang was still here, even if Huo Xiucheng was the only one here, he still had to weigh the consequences of running away.
He could make a bet with Lee Hao. Once he ran away, this matter would continue to exist. It would become a thorn in Huo Xiucheng's heart and hinder his cultivation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he would not be able to make any progress in his cultivation in the future.
Even if he took ten thousand steps back and obtained a great opportunity to advance to the middle stage of tribulation transcendence, it would be extremely difficult for him to overcome the inner demon tribulation of the middle stage of tribulation transcendence because his Dao Heart was already incomplete.
A cultivator who had reached the Tribulation-experiencing Period was already considered a half-immortal existence. How could he promise anything?
For example, Pang Shiyuan. Lee Hao didn't sign anything with him, and Pang Shiyuan only promised to protect Fallen Immortal City for a thousand years. This was enough.
Once Pang Shiyuan broke his promise, the Heavenly Dao would punish him even if Lee Hao didn't need to punish him.
This was no longer a Heart Devil Oath, but an oath of the Great Dao! Only a great cultivator like a Tribulation-experiencing Period had the qualification to do so. Cultivators who faced Heavenly Tribulation did not have this kind of treatment.
Pang Shiyuan's attack continued. As the saying goes, take your life when you're sick. As long as the opponent did not admit defeat, Pang Shiyuan's attack would not stop.
Huo Xiucheng's defensive treasure had already been struck by more than a dozen heavenly lightning strikes. The bright outside had already been charred black, and after a few more strikes, the treasure would be destroyed.
Once the treasure was destroyed, Huo Xiucheng would surely be severely injured. It would be even more hopeless for him to win.
Furthermore, the treasure was a precious item. There were only a few of them in the entire Huo Family, and every single one of them was a symbol of their foundation.
"I admit defeat!" Huo Xiucheng finally said these three words. If he wanted to protect the Numinous Treasure, he could only admit defeat.2
Pang Shiyuan's attack also stopped. The thunder in the sky also disappeared. After that, he cupped his hands and said, "Admit it!"
"If you are not as skilled as me, you are willing to admit defeat!" Huo Xiucheng said bitterly.
Huo Fenghuang flew to Huo Xiucheng's side and comforted him, "Second Uncle, it's fine. It's only been a hundred years. It has passed in a flash. Think about it. You have been trapped by your grandfather for five hundred years. Didn't he come out very soon?"
Huo Xiucheng was speechless."
How could this be compared? Although he was trapped at home and could not go out, he enjoyed the best treatment. But now? He wanted to see the city gates and the city gates!!
Huo Xiucheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and Huo Fenghuang could not bear it either. After all, it was her, Second Uncle. When she thought of the tragic fate that she, Second Uncle, was about to face, she...
Huo Fenghuang cast a pleading look again.
Was it still useful this time?
Lee Hao said lightly, "A gentleman's word is like a horse's whip. How can you change it just like that? Besides, some things might not necessarily be a bad thing. It might be a form of training. "
Huo Fenghuang was startled and kept silent.
It was not the first time Huo Xiucheng was punished by her grandfather, but it had no effect at all. Why?
The reason was very simple. Huo Xiucheng was a genius of Huo Family, and one of the two greatest tribulations of Huo Family. Therefore, there were some things that couldn't be overdone.
If he couldn't make ___ feel pain in his heart, how could he change his mind? Perhaps Lee Hao's punishment would change Huo Xiucheng's reckless and impulsive behavior.
Lee Hao continued to say, "Huo Xiucheng, I think you should have nothing to say now! Then you should take over the heavy responsibility of the city gate now!"
"But let me tell you this. It's not easy to see the city gate. If you don't do it well, you will be punished by the Immortal Execution Order."
Lee Hao didn't target Huo Xiucheng. This was the truth!
Fallen Immortal City was the place where rogue cultivators gathered, and it was also the center of Tiannan County. There were countless cultivators coming and going every day, and they were all here to buy cultivation resources.
Although the Fallen Immortal City didn't have any income at the moment, it was still important to guard the city gates.
How should he put it?! The Fallen Immortal City was like a commercial building, and the city gate guards were in charge of receiving them. If they put on a dirty face all day long, wouldn't that be annoying?
To welcome them with a smile, this was the least they could do!
For the previous guards of Fallen Immortal City, this was very simple, but for Huo Xiucheng, this was precisely the hardest.
"Hmph, I am a dignified Tribulation-experiencing Period cultivator, do I need you to teach me?" Huo Xiucheng furiously harrumphed.
"I hope so!"
Lee Hao didn't get angry. Instead, he ordered Pang Shiyuan, "Mr Pang, from now on, you will be in charge of Huo Xiucheng personally. If he makes any careless moves, don't be polite. If he needs to be taught a lesson, just teach him a lesson."
"I understand!"
Pang Shiyuan understood. Lee Hao wanted to sharpen Huo Xiucheng's character. It wasn't a waste for him to take a look at the city gate.
The spirit medicine was bitter! How could an ordinary person think of this? They even thought that others were targeting him.
What was the result? Only time could prove all of this.
