Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 725: A Fated Showdown
He had inquired about Mo Wuji's escape from the hands of several Immortal Emperors and learned that it was due to Mo Wuji having a Great Immortal Emperor puppet. More importantly, several Great Immortal Emperors didn't want to kill Mo Wuji, meaning they held back when attacking him. They just didn't expect Mo Wuji's body to be strong enough to guide their attacks to tear open the void.
Lei Hongji summoned his Thunder Hammer again, and thunder rumbled in the void, with lightning arcs covering a hundred-mile radius.
Mo Wuji opened his hand and unleashed the Half-Moon Heavy Halberd, and a storm of sand swept out, instantly transforming into halberd lights that covered the same hundred-mile area.
"Boom!" The vast lightning arcs and the boundless halberd lights collided, creating a spatial explosion that carved out numerous ravines, a terrifying sight.
"Puff puff puff!" A dozen halberd lights spilled out from the lightning web, striking Lei Hongji's body, leaving only a few bloody marks.
At the same time, Lei Hongji saw even more lightning arcs falling on Mo Wuji.
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Lei Hongji's mouth. He knew that these lightning arcs wouldn't seriously injure Mo Wuji. As long as he could wound Mo Wuji, he would slowly tear him apart inch by inch with the lightning arcs.
But the next moment, Lei Hongji was stunned. Mo Wuji's halberd lights only left a few brief bloody marks on him, while his dozens of lightning arcs had no effect on Mo Wuji at all. They didn't even wrinkle his clothes.
Lei Hongji's eyes narrowed. Mo Wuji was able to transfer the casual attacks of several Great Immortal Emperors, which meant he was a body-refining expert. He didn't expect Mo Wuji's body refinement to be so powerful, completely unfazed by his lightning web. He was well aware of how powerful his lightning web was; a single arc could tear open an Immortal King.
Lei Hongji became serious. Mo Wuji was the only one who could fight him on equal footing. He wasn't particularly shocked when Mo Wuji used his vortex domain to split his Thunder Sword domain, but now, feeling Mo Wuji's body strength, he began to regard Mo Wuji as a true opponent.
The Thunder Hammer was raised again, and before it was even launched, muffled thunder-like roars echoed in the void. The space became oppressive, as if it would shatter under the sound.
Mo Wuji also became cautious. In the previous exchange, he didn't feel that his Desert Divine Art had gained the upper hand. If it were an ordinary Grand Luo Immortal cultivator at the peak, his Desert Divine Art would have restrained them, leaving them at his mercy within his domain.
But Lei Hongji's hundred-mile lightning web not only easily weakened his Desert Halberd Lights but also constrained his domain's strength.
The dozens of lightning arcs that struck his body earlier weren't intentional; it was because his domain was torn open by the combined force of the Thunder Sword domain and the hundred-mile lightning web.
If Lei Hongji's hundred-mile lightning web was just a show of force, then this hammer, which hadn't even been launched yet, was the real killing move. The muffled roar was formless and source-less, not a sound attack, but it could still create a sense of oppression and threat.
Mo Wuji calmed down. Lei Hongji had strong confidence, and he had his own pride. Ever since he found his Mortal Dao, he had never lost to an opponent on the same level.
The Half-Moon Heavy Halberd slowly drew an arc in the void. As the arc was drawn, the muffled thunder from the Thunder Hammer was weakened.
A long river, seemingly from the endless void, fell, transforming into a long river of halberd light amidst the roaring thunder.
The halberd light slashed down like a silver river, engulfing Lei Hongji with the momentum to tear open the void. Even the Immortal cultivators watching from hundreds of miles away could feel the killing intent of this halberd light. The killing intent was undisguised and sharply revealed.
Lei Hongji's expression remained calm, and the muffled thunder in the void disappeared, replaced by a Thunder Hammer that seemed to fall from the shattered sky.
The few Immortal cultivators watching from afar felt the oppressive aura of the terrifying Thunder Hammer and spat out several mouthfuls of blood on the spot, quickly retreating. Their strength wasn't even enough to allow them to watch this terrifying battle up close.
Lei Hongji's expression was calm, and his eyes were as still as a pool of stagnant water. No opponent on the same level had ever been able to withstand his Divine Art, Thunder Hammer Myriad Jun.
It didn't matter that Mo Wuji was just a Grand Luo Immortal; what about an Immortal King? Under his Thunder Hammer Myriad Jun, there would only be death, death, and death.
He admitted that Mo Wuji's River Halberd was terrifying, but it couldn't compare to his Divine Art, Thunder Hammer Myriad Jun.
The sky instantly darkened, the roar sounded again, and the dazzling and fierce halberd light became even more dazzling.
The river falling from the void finally collided with the terrifying Thunder Hammer!
"Boom boom boom!"
"Crack!"
At this moment, it was as if the entire world had been blown open.
The river was shattered by the hammer, and the halberd lights scattered across the sky. The Thunder Hammer only paused slightly before crashing down again.
Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. The River Divine Art couldn't stop the opponent's Thunder Hammer, and Mo Wuji was shocked, but the flame of battle in his eyes burned even higher.
Since he began his cultivation, he had never seen someone as strong as Lei Hongji. Their cultivation was the same, but his strength was so terrifying. Only fighting someone like this had meaning.
Lei Hongji forcibly swallowed the mouthful of blood that reached his throat, and he was equally horrified. He didn't know if Mo Wuji's River was his strongest Divine Art, but he knew that his Thunder Hammer Myriad Jun was one of his most terrifying Divine Arts.
According to his plan, after the Thunder Hammer shattered Mo Wuji's River Halberd Light, it wouldn't have the slightest pause and would directly tear Mo Wuji into pieces.
But what did he see? The Thunder Hammer did tear apart Mo Wuji's River, but the Thunder Hammer actually paused. Cracks and gaps appeared in the space covered by the Myriad Jun Thunder Hammer, enough for Mo Wuji to escape.
Lei Hongji had never felt such a strong killing intent as he did now. Mo Wuji was so powerful that he had to kill him today.
An ordinary-looking long sword was summoned by Lei Hongji. The long sword stirred up a white light, and Lei Hongji was sure that Mo Wuji would retreat. As long as Mo Wuji retreated, his long sword would tear him into pieces.
Heavenly Mystery Sword? Mo Wuji's eyes narrowed. As soon as Lei Hongji took out the long sword, he felt the aura of the Heavenly Mystery Sword.
But regardless of whether Lei Hongji would summon the Heavenly Mystery Sword, Mo Wuji never intended to retreat. He didn't think his River was inferior to the opponent's; it was because his understanding of the River wasn't perfect yet.
Now that the River had collapsed, how could Mo Wuji let Lei Hongji be arrogant? He didn't move, stared at the falling Myriad Jun Thunder Hammer, and threw a punch.
Dimension Cracking Fist, a fist with a domain.
Mo Wuji didn't believe that his fist couldn't destroy the opponent's Thunder Hammer.
Lei Hongji was stunned when he saw that Mo Wuji didn't retreat. Then, he saw that Mo Wuji actually punched his Myriad Jun Thunder Hammer, and he laughed wildly.
Whether it was Mo Wuji's famous name, the name of Scattered Cultivator 2705, or his identity as the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, they were all well-known. Logically, he wouldn't be so stupid, but today, Mo Wuji did such a stupid thing, so how could he not laugh out loud? He was sure that no matter how strong Mo Wuji's body was, he couldn't use his fist to fight his Myriad Jun Thunder Hammer.
Mo Wuji didn't care about Lei Hongji's wild laughter. His Dimension Cracking Fist brought with it traces of domain aura and blasted the falling Thunder Hammer with fierce Immortal Yuan momentum.
"Boom!" A violent collision erupted, and just like when the Thunder Hammer shattered Mo Wuji's River earlier, the sky full of lightning on the Thunder Hammer directly collapsed at this moment.
The Immortal Yuan on the Myriad Jun Thunder Hammer was also directly torn apart by Mo Wuji's punch, and the Thunder Hammer rapidly shrunk.
Lei Hongji felt an aura that was about to tear apart his internal organs explode, and he could no longer bear the terrible backslash from the explosion. He also spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
As he flew backward, he saw his Thunder Hammer being blasted away by Mo Wuji's punch.
At this moment, Lei Hongji's heart was filled with shock, and he no longer had the mood to laugh wildly. He had never seen anyone who could open his Myriad Jun Thunder Hammer Divine Art with a punch. How strong would his body have to be?
"Bang!" Lei Hongji finally stopped, and the first thing he did was reach out and grab the Thunder Hammer in his hand. He didn't attack Mo Wuji again, but looked at Mo Wuji standing in the distance with fear. He realized Mo Wuji's strength for the first time, and it was not weaker than him, and perhaps even stronger.
In the middle area between him and Mo Wuji, it had already been blasted into a terrible ravine.
Mo Wuji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the halberd landed in his palm. He calmly glanced at Lei Hongji, and the halberd in his hand stirred up again.
Lei Hongji was too terrifying. If possible, he really wanted to kill Lei Hongji here today. So even though his internal organs were injured at this moment, Mo Wuji still unhesitatingly used the Setting Sun Divine Art. If the Setting Sun couldn't kill Lei Hongji, he still had the last killer move, the Remnant Ditch.
His Spiritual Will and Immortal Yuan were exhausted, but he still had the Spiritual Will Storage Meridian and the Immortal Yuan Storage Meridian. He didn't believe he couldn't kill Lei Hongji.
Lei Hongji instantly felt the space become desolate, as if it was about to be destroyed, and it was full of fallen aura. There was obviously no sun in the space, but he felt a setting sun. He even saw his life as if it were that invisible setting sun. As long as the setting sun fell, his life would also wither.
Lei Hongji knew that this was an illusion. Mo Wuji was strong, but not strong enough to kill him. But he didn't want to fight anymore, because he knew that he couldn't kill Mo Wuji either.
"Someday, I, Lei Hongji, will personally kill you." After Lei Hongji finished speaking, his figure shook and disappeared without a trace.
Mo Wuji withdrew the Half-Moon Heavy Halberd. He didn't chase after him. As long as Lei Hongji sincerely wanted to escape, he couldn't kill him now.
