Chapter 528: Shura's Avatar

After failing to take off her mask, Xiang Shaoyun retreated back to where he stood originally, and smiled. "You're quite fast, but that was only half my top speed."
"Is that so? Too bad you no longer have a chance to display your full speed," said Lady Shura. With her eyes narrowed, she attacked. Her cultivation level of ninth-stage Skysoar Realm erupted as she sent a barrage of palm attacks toward Xiang Shaoyun.
Formless Palm!
The palm attacks dotted the sky and flooded the area with a thick vicious gold energy that surrounded Xiang Shaoyun from all directions. Each palm was comparable to the attack of a peak King. It was not an attack one could easily stop.
A faint smile formed on Xiang Shaoyun's face as he sent numerous golden fists forward, trying to blast the palms into smithereens. Numerous palms and fists collided, filling the room with a rumbling sound, causing the room to shake. As the battle raged on, the two moved faster and faster, their attacks becoming stronger and stronger, painting a scene of total chaos.
Lady Shura's palm attacks were extraordinary, combining feints and real attacks, making it hard for one to guard against her. The vicious gold energy was exceedingly destructive, seemingly capable of penetrating everything. The combat prowess she displayed was no weaker than those of the young geniuses who had followed Yu Caidie into the Devil Domain.
Of course, she was only comparable to the average strength of the group—the likes of Su Jun. Compared to someone like Tang Longfei, she was still somewhat lacking. Even so, she displayed a talent in cultivation that was comparable to any one of them.
Xiang Shaoyun had already used about 70 percent of the strength in his gold star, yet he still hadn't managed to defeat Lady Shura. He also found that Lady Shura's palm attacks were ever changing and extremely hard to guard against. If it wasn't for his sharp senses, he would have already been injured.
"Why are you still hiding your strength? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" True anger appeared on Lady Shura's face. She was nearly using her full strength, but Xiang Shaoyun was able to completely block all her attacks. It made it hard for her to remain calm. She did not think that Xiang Shaoyun was even using his full strength.
"Sure. Be careful now," said Xiang Shaoyun, believing he had almost fully grasped Lady Shura's strength. He shifted his stance.
Hurricane Kick!
Instead of using his hands, he used his legs and sent numerous hurricanes toward Lady Shura, causing her to lose balance. His kicks were powered by the yin devil wind and were filled with a boundless wind energy that gave Lady Shura a hard time.
Xiang Shaoyun was fighting with 80 percent of his strength. In his current form, ordinary peak Kings would not be his match. Lady Shura was forced to use all her strength. Her palms shone with a gold radiance, and a large amount of vicious gold energy converged around them.
However, Xiang Shaoyun's kicks were too fast, and she couldn't block them in time. As a result, several kicks struck her in succession, sending her flying. If Lady Shura was an enemy, she would have been killed by those kicks. But since she was a woman Xiang Shaoyun liked, he held back.
"Now it's your turn to use all your strength. Otherwise, I will take your mask off," said Xiang Shaoyun calmly.
"Watch out, then," said Lady Shura as she erupted with even more strength. She waved her palms around, and instantly, numerous arms formed around her as strands of vicious gold energy swirled around her body, giving her an eerie look.
Thousand Vicious Ghost Hands.
In the blink of an eye, countless golden hands swarmed Xiang Shaoyun. Carrying a thick vicious energy with them, the palms completely surrounded Xiang Shaoyun, making escape almost impossible.
Additionally, the palms seemed to possess life, as they could freely move around in accordance to Xiang Shaoyun's movement. It did not seem like they would stop before they completely subdued him. When he saw that there was no way of escaping the palms, he decided to not even bother with escaping.
Six Goldplate Manual!
Perfect defensive walls of the Iron Wall and Copper Wall stages appeared around him. Evidently, he had mastered the second stage of the Six Goldplate Manual. He only needed the final two walls before he could complete the Goldplate stage. These four walls were more than enough to block the attack of an Emperor. When Lady Shura's palm attacks landed, he stood firm. The attacks failed to even make him move. Xiang Shaoyun had initially thought that this would be enough to make Lady Shura give up, but she actually rushed him. With a sharp glint in her eyes, she erupted with even more power.
Shura's Avatar!
A golden apparition appeared behind Lady Shura, exuding a boundless aura comparable to a War Emperor's. Once again, she slammed a golden palm at Xiang Shaoyun. The palm had more than doubled in strength and moved at an astonishing speed that was much faster than before. That was Lady Shura's real strength. Instantly, she sent nine palm attacks forward, and they loudly crashed into the walls around Xiang Shaoyun.
The new strength she revealed greatly pressured Xiang Shaoyun, but he could still withstand it. Right after she sent out the nine palm attacks, Lady Shura's energy seemed to have dried up. And before she could replenish her energy, Xiang Shaoyun made his move. He dashed forth, his hand shooting forward like a bolt of lightning. Lady Shura felt a breeze hit her face as he removed her mask. By instinct, she heavily slammed her palm into his chest.
Xiang Shaoyun had thought that the battle would be over after taking the mask off. Thus, the attack had caught him by surprise. Since he had already removed his defensive walls, he was sent flying while coughing blood.
Lady Shura blanked out slightly before she quickly dashed over. "Xiang Shaoyun, a-are you fine?"
She had sent out the palm attack without holding anything back. If she had carelessly killed Xiang Shaoyun, she wouldn't know what to do.
Lying on the ground, Xiang Shaoyun coughed blood as he said weakly, "I'm a-afraid...I w-won't make it!"
"N-no way! I still have some millennium king spring here! Take it! You can't die!" Lady Shura said anxiously.
As she said that, she took her millennium king spring out and tried to feed it to Xiang Shaoyun. To her surprise, he grabbed her hand with one hand and placed his other hand on her neck and dragged her head down. At the same time, he lifted his head. Two pairs of lips met.
Lady Shura was completely stunned. She had never expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be so audacious. Just as she was about to push him away, she found that his tongue had found its way into her mouth! The tongue explored her mouth, and at that moment, her mind seemed to turn blank, and her body went limp.
