Shadow Hack

Chapter 904: One Punch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before his defeat, Vishnu’s figure had transformed continuously, and he had unleashed countless divine techniques covering the entire platform. But none of them hit Ancient Goddess Liu Qing.

Indra naturally wouldn’t make this type of mistake. He would instead spread the primal lightning in all directions. As long as Liu Qing was on the stage, she would definitely be hit.

If that happened, Indra could easily win the competition.

Yaksha’s expression turned increasingly more unsightly as he watched, and he said in an icy tone. “Indra could be considered to have won, but only because of my and Vishnu’s contribution. There’s nothing to be proud of.”

Vishnu did not say anything. Indra’s move was even more dangerous than when he had used the divine techniques. Although he had unleashed many divine techniques, Liu Qing’s speed was very fast, and she had dodged them all.

However, after Indra released the primal lightning, he first covered himself so that Liu Qing couldn’t get close to him.

In such a situation, a favorable conclusion was preordained. In the end, Liu Qing would lose after coming in contact with the primal lightning.

“Not necessarily. If Liu Qing possesses strength comparable to that of a normal ancient god, her punch could destroy the barrier of primal lightning and wipe out Indra,” Shiva said suddenly.

Yaksha and Vishnu began to laugh after hearing his words, as if Shiva had made a funny joke.

“Ordinary ancient god’s strength? Lakshmi’s clan has always walked the path of sound laws, which is quite similar to that of the Deva Clan of Asura City. God Shiva, do you think that Lakshmi’s Clan has gods who walk the path of close quarter combat and cultivate their physical body?” Yaksha said while laughing.

As he spoke, Indra’s shout echoed through the competition stage.

The four ancient gods looked over to see Ancient Goddess Liu Qing not having moved from her original spot. She was looking at the growing primal lightning barrier with a calm expression. Only after some did she take a step forward.

In a blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the primal lightning barrier and, under everyone’s gazes, stepped inside. The instant she came into contact with the primal lightning barrier, sparks flew into the air.

Each of the sparks that flew out concealed formidable power. But as if Liu Qing’s body was a no-man’s land, as soon as the sparks hit her, they dissipated. When she fully entered the primal lightning barrier, the whole audience went silent.

The twelve holy daughters had calm expressions since they found this scene extremely normal. The expressions of the descendants of music clans sitting at the edge of lotus pond were grave, however. They firmly clasped their both hands, afraid that the newly advanced ancient goddess of their clan would fall.

The ones who had the greatest reaction, however, were the four ancient gods on the secondary stage. Only God Shiva’s expression was indifferent. The two crescent moons were slowly revolving in his eyes as if confirming whether what was said just then was true or not.

The faces of Yaksha and Vishnu were full of incredulity.

“Impossible, how could Ancient Goddess Liu Qing’s body possess the level of ancient god in terms of hardness?” Yaksha cried out in surprise.

But even if he couldn’t believe it, the scene from just a moment ago was vivid in his mind. Liu Qing had passed through the primal lightning without suffering any damage. The attack which could be considered as equivalent to an ancient god’s dissipated after striking her body.

“You lose!” Vishu said with a strange expression.

The instant Liu Qing entered the primal lightning barrier, Indra lost. The competition limited their cultivation to god realm, so Indra could barely control the primal lightning using his bloodline ability. Thus, from the beginning, Indra had used the heavenly eye to avoid being charmed by Ancient Goddess Liu Qing.

He wholeheartedly focused upon primal lightning, which meant that he fixed his body in one place and couldn’t budge.

According to his plan, once the primal lightning spread through the entire stage, Liu Qing would lose. However, she used her ancient god level body to enter the primal lightning barrier, where Indra was like a sitting duck.....

A loud bang resounded, and the primal lightning on the stage dissipated. Liu Qing extended her lily-white hand and punched Indra’s heavenly eye.

“...” The girls of the Music Clan.

“...” The four ancient gods.

Indra flew out of the stage and landed in the lotus pond. The water rose to the waist of a person when he fell in.

“I hadn’t expected that Ancient Goddess Liu Qing would be so difficult to deal with. Even five ancient gods cannot be her opponents.”

“With Ancient Goddess Liu Qing here, it seems like the five ancient gods cannot coerce our Lakshmi City into becoming their subordinate state. When Ancient Goddess Lakshmi will come out of her seclusion, Lakshmi City will have two ancient gods.”

The Music Clan’s descendants sitting at the edge of the lotus pond discussed the proceeding among themselves with smiles at the corner of their faces. They were no longer so tense about their future. Once they saw the third won battle, the descendants of the Music Clan were no longer terrified.

The five ancient gods had existed for an eternity, while Ancient Goddess Liu Qing had newly advanced, so her loss was clear as water on the onset, but they had no choice but to hold the competition.

Yet right then, only two ancient gods remained of the five. As long as they were beaten, Lakshmi City would have the authority to dictate terms in the alliance with the five ancient gods and wouldn’t become their subordinate.

Indra flew out of the lotus pond and looked at Ancient Goddess Liu Qing standing without any care on the stage.

“Ancient Goddess Liu Qing was indeed holding back. You’re Music Clan’s goddess, but you walk the path of tempering your body,” he said in a gloomy voice.

“Is there a problem? Music Clan’s Ancient Goddess Lakshmi walks the path of practicing sound laws, so why would I want that old path? The path of being proficient in close combat is powerful, so I naturally chose to walk it,” Brunhilda calmly said while shooting a glance at the inflamed crack between Indra’s eyebrows.

“Hmph!”

Indra snorted, then returned to his seat. The moment he sat down, Yaksha began to ridicule him, returning all the words Indra had said to him just a moment ago. Vishnu’s expression also changed slightly for the better. Indra’s defeat allowed the two ancient gods who had lost previously to regain some face.

Everyone was in the same boat.

“You should go now. At this moment, only you and Garuda remain among the five of us. We will need to rely on you to win,” Vishnu said while looking at Shiva.

God Shiva looked at Ancient Goddess Liu Qing standing on the stage and shook his head. “I also walk the path of seeing through everyone. If Ancient Goddess Liu Qing only used the charming technique, I would be confident in beating her,but she walks on the path of close quarter combat, so I cannot defeat her. If I go, I will also lose.”

Vishnu didn’t say anything since he understood God Shiva’s meaning. The seven ancient gods of Lanlou had obtained their bloodline power from the master god, which was why they were somewhat similar. For example, his bloodline ability was the most similar to that of the master god, but there were many paths and not every path was pure. His strength also ranked among the lower half among the seven ancient gods.

Although Indra’s heavenly eye didn’t have a very formidable ability, it should have been sufficient to break Liu Qing’s charming technique.

Shiva specialized in the path of the divine eye, so his physical body was only at the peak of god realm. If he confronted Liu Qing, there was no chance of victory for him. Just like he said, even if he went up, he would only add another loss.

Since he understood that he would lose, it was better to just not go up.

The gazes of the four ancient gods concentrated on Garuda who hadn’t said anything until then. Among the five ancient gods, Garuda’s strength was the most formidable, and he could even contend against Asura if he hadn’t been injured.
