As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1417: Chapter 385: Heroes Compete for the Crown, Lotus Bullet Blasts Lion King; Within 10 Feet I Am Half a Step Ahead of Heaven [Monthly Ticket Requested]

”Come!”

”Fight!”

The battle spirit of the Golden-haired Hou surged immensely, unleashing the Shattered Golden Lion’s Roar, with its mane exploding and maintaining the phantom of the Golden Lion King, spanning across the Peach Forest!

The mountain ridge behind, reaching straight into the sky, seemed ready to pierce through the layers of clouds, exploding and spreading vast streams of clouds.

Subtle waves of invisible matter and aura spread around him, as if a gentle breeze stirred the lion’s mane, causing it to flutter in the air.

The battle intent was incredibly fervent!

The blood within the Golden-haired Hou boiled vigorously; he no longer suppressed his cultivation and erupted completely, revealing the cultivation of a Martial Saint’s Four Transformations, a Peak Martial Artist.

This was the reason for his overpowering confidence in seizing the championship at this Heroic Victory Conference.

In fact, all confidence stems from strength.

With immense strength, confidence naturally follows!

This is an eternal truth!

Since making a bet with Li Che, the Golden-haired Hou had been eagerly anticipating this day, suppressing his cultivation to make a stunning impression today.

In the previous session, he hadn’t broken through his realm and, unfortunately, lost in the Heroic Victory Conference, unable to claim the top.

But this time, no one could stop him!

The bet with Li Che further ignited his desire to seize the title, burning like dry straw set aflame!

Li Che... successfully sparked his fighting spirit!

He was determined to crush Li Che!

Then... bring back that disgraceful Jin Taixui to Wushen Mountain to kneel before the Great Witch God in repentance!

Whoosh—

The wind howled, raging madly.

Within the Peach Forest, the shaking trees and rustling leaves caused a never-ending clamor!

The Golden-haired Hou stared at Li Che, who stood atop the Little Ying Dragon King.

Li Che crossed his arms, his brow Niwan glowing slightly, as if divine essence flowed continuously, almost materializing around him, forming the phantom of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Sweeping upwards imposingly, gazing down at the human world, indomitable!

This God’s Intent...

So domineering!

The Golden-haired Hou, seemingly cast in gold, stared intently at Li Che.

”Li Half-Saint... does our bet stand?”

”Before this battle, let’s make the bet clear. Don’t try to weasel out after losing...”

The Golden-haired Hou stretched his body, with muscles and bones ringing, like a coiling Jiao Long’s veins emerging on his Lion King’s-like physique.

Li Che, still arms crossed, smiled faintly: ”Naturally.”

”If you win, take Jin Taixui back.”

”If you lose, then like Jin Taixui, become my servant, my mount.”

As soon as Li Che’s words ended, the Golden-haired Hou’s aura suddenly swelled, his eyes blazing like fire, exuding an overwhelmingly fierce Martial Dao Will, with a commanding presence, clear and distinct, yet seemingly unified, forming a terrifying oppressive force that surged and spread.

”Though it’s a very unequal bet...”

”I, the Golden-haired Hou, am betting it!”

”Because...”

”I won’t be defeated!”

Roar——!!!

With a long roar, the Lion’s Roar Shattered Gold and Stone, bursting through the sky!

The ground shook and mountains trembled, making the entire Peach Forest seem instantly shrouded in deep darkness, with the sky’s color immediately dimmed!

The Lion’s Roar sound waves reverberated across the sky, creating layer upon layer of rippling undulations.

In that instant, the air seemed violently twisted and folded.

Then transformed into an invisible air cannonball, surging and dashing with extreme speed toward the double-winged Little Yinglong King, hovering and flapping in mid-air!

Li Che crossed arms, eyes focused, mind slightly stirred.

In an instant, he maneuvered the Little Ying Dragon King, swiftly dodging the twisted air, filled with terrifying explosive force of the Lion Roar Air Cannon!

With a loud bang!

The air cannon, seemingly extremely heavy, smashed onto a flat peach tree, instantly activating the tree’s restriction, transferring the cannon’s force to the ground.

A massive pit over a hundred feet in diameter exploded on the ground, with countless dirt flying, the ground collapsing, dust rising!

Just as Li Che used his mind to control the Little Ying Dragon King to dodge the air cannon.
