Chapter 747 The Meeting of the Two Stones!
Chapter 747 The Meeting of the Two Stones!
Qin Hao followed behind Shi Hao, his gaze sweeping over the growing crowd around him, his brows furrowing slightly.
He leaned closer to Shi Hao and whispered, "Brother, more and more people are coming to the Ten Fiends' Nest. We need to speed things up and get in as soon as possible to get ahead of others, otherwise the good stuff will definitely be snatched up by others."
Lin Dong also noticed the situation around him and nodded repeatedly: "Qin Hao is right, let's not dawdle. Those ancient freaks are all cunning, they might already be inside."
Shi Hao thought about it and agreed.
He glanced back at Han Li, Luo Feng, and the others.
The others nodded in agreement.
So the group stopped concealing their presence, their feet shimmering with light as they sped towards the depths of Hidden Immortal Ridge.
Their speed was extremely fast, like streaks of light weaving through the mountains, creating gusts of wind.
The cultivators who were slowly moving forward around them all turned their heads to look at this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Such speed! Who are those people?"
"The one leading... seems to be Ara..."
"So it was him. No wonder he was here so quickly. We can't afford to mess with him."
The murmurs faded into the distance behind us.
Shi Hao and his group ignored him and focused on their journey.
Their target is the Ten Fiends' lair, containing the remains of the Ten Fiends, their inheritance, and endless treasures.
As for what others think, it doesn't matter at all.
However, just as they were crossing a dark red hill, Shi Hao suddenly stopped.
His body suddenly stopped, as if he had crashed into an invisible wall.
Lin Dong, who was behind him, almost bumped into him and quickly braked.
"Brother Shi Hao, why did you suddenly stop?"
Lin Dong asked, looking completely bewildered.
Shi Hao did not answer his question, but stared solemnly ahead.
His divine sense spread out like a tide, immediately capturing that familiar aura that made his heart skip a beat.
Everyone else stopped at this moment as well.
Before Luo Feng could ask any questions, Shi Hao spoke first: "That guy is here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the void in front of him suddenly began to distort violently.
Immediately afterwards, a giant eye appeared out of thin air, hovering in mid-air and illuminating the entire void in front of it.
Its pupils were hundreds of feet in size, and within them, the sun and moon were destroyed, and the stars and rivers were annihilated, radiating a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble.
"That's...double pupils?"
Feng Wu stared at those eyes and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to that enormous eye.
And that eye seemed to have a life of its own, it began to rotate rapidly, and finally focused its gaze on Shi Hao.
Then, a figure slowly emerged from the pupil.
He was a dashing young man.
The other person walked towards them step by step through the void, with their hands behind their back.
"Shi Yi!"
Lin Dong blurted out, his eyes full of vigilance.
Luo Feng also frowned and subconsciously stepped in front of Qian Renxue.
Han Li went even further, taking out several array flags from his storage bag, ready to deploy them at any time to meet the enemy.
Only Shi Hao remained standing in the same spot, motionless.
He looked at Shi Yi, who emerged from his double pupils, his gaze calm, without fear or hostility, only an indescribable complexity.
"I knew it... you must have come to the Upper Realm too."
Shi Hao suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Shi Yi descended from the void and stood atop a dark red boulder, looking down at Shi Hao.
He didn't speak, but simply made a grasping motion in the air with one hand, and a silver-white halberd appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Then, he pointed his halberd at Shi Hao, the tip aimed directly at Shi Hao's throat.
"Our duel cannot be completed in the mortal realm, so let's settle it here."
Shi Yi looked at Shi Hao and said in an unquestionable tone.
Shi Hao stared at the opponent's halberd without flinching.
He could sense that Shi Yi's strength was more than one level higher than when he was in the lower realm.
The power of the opponent's double pupils seems to have been fully awakened.
Even he felt a sense of pressure from the strange phenomena of the sun and moon sinking and the stars and rivers vanishing.
"Your double pupils...are fully awakened?"
Shi Hao asked directly.
Shi Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "This is all thanks to you. Although the battle in the lower realm did not result in a victory or defeat, it allowed me to comprehend the true meaning of double pupils. After arriving in the upper realm, I received guidance from a renowned master and finally fully activated the power of double pupils. Now, I am no longer the Shi Yi of the lower realm."
Shi Hao was silent for a moment, then laughed: "That's perfect. We couldn't have a proper fight in the lower realm, but now in this ancient immortal ruin, in front of the Ten Fiends' lair, we can finally fulfill our wish."
Lin Dong panicked and quickly said, "Brother Shi Hao, don't be impulsive! This guy is up to no good. We outnumber him, let's attack together!"
Shi Hao shook his head and raised his hand to stop Lin Dong.
He looked directly at Shi Yi and said, word by word, "This is between him and me, you should not interfere."
Shi Yi also looked at the people behind him and said calmly, "Your friends can stand by and watch, but if anyone gets involved, I don't mind dealing with it together."
His tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable confidence, as if in his eyes, Lin Dong, Luo Feng, Han Li, and the others were nothing more than ants that could be crushed at will.
Lin Dong was furious and was about to speak when Luo Feng pulled him back.
Luo Feng said in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive. Brother Shi Hao knows what he's doing. Let's observe first."
Han Li nodded: "Shi Yi's strength is indeed terrifying, but we are not weak either. If they really want to fight, we can provide support at any time. But for now, let Shi Hao handle it himself."
Lin Dong gritted his teeth and ultimately took a few steps back.
"If you want to fight, just say so. Why waste so much time talking?"
Shi Hao also took out the Void Battle Halberd from the cave, pointing the tip at Shi Yi.
The two men were several dozen feet apart, their eyes locked, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became tense.
The surrounding cultivators retreated and began to observe from a distance, not daring to approach.
Because they knew that this was a destined duel between the one with double pupils and the possessor of the supreme bone, and it was not something they could interfere with.
"Make your move and let me see how much skill you've gained since coming to the Upper Realm."
Shi Yi looked at Shi Hao with a determined gaze and said.
"Whether you've developed any skills or not, you'll soon see..."
Without any hesitation, Shi Hao flashed forward, his Kunpeng wings unfurling behind him, transforming into a golden light that hurtled straight towards Shi Yi.
"--clang!!!"
Shi Yi swung his halberd to block.
The two halberds clashed together, producing a piercing metallic clang.
