Chapter 178 Clash of the Grand Masters: Indra vs. Yang Jian
High in the sky, Indra looked weary as he gazed down at the boundless ocean.
"False god, are you so unfamiliar with the ways of the mortal realm? Can you guide me to my wretched naval headquarters?"
Enel tried to remain calm, but he was actually drenched in sweat.
What naval headquarters? I've never even been to Qinghai!
Indra's eyes were cold. Once he left the Sky Island, he could no longer manifest through the heavens and earth, nor could he perceive anything in the world.
Although he had a premonition that his time with Arjuna was not yet ripe and that they should not meet.
However, he still felt a surge of anger at being mocked, and lightning flashed at his fingertips, carrying a terrifying killing intent.
Enel was instantly terrified by this action. This capricious guy... I really did lie to him—he won't kill me, will he...?
However, Indra eventually withdrew that bolt of lightning.
Enel is not only his Master, but also the reason why his existence can manifest in this world.
Their fate was severed; he could no longer exist here.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall that guy on the Sky Island, who seemed to exist in this world without any special connections.
It seems that Alayer has hired more than just me as a henchman.
Sensing a powerful divine force below, his gaze pierced through layers of clouds, meeting that of the third eye a hundred miles away.
The two beams of divine light met, causing Indra to smile, while Yang Ming was clearly taken aback.
Yang sensed the disturbance in the sky, and Ming and Hawkeye saw an opportunity!
"Five-colored threads!"
"Shadow Rider Line!"
Doflamingo kept changing his moves, trying to trap or interfere with Yang.
But Yang's Heavenly Eye broke free from the standoff and instantly saw through all of his moves. With a flash of his blade, he broke through all obstacles, forcing Yang to retreat repeatedly, leaving the wolf-fox helpless.
On the other side, each strike from the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, was powerful and heavy, the black blade tearing through the air with a muffled whistling sound.
One after another, massive green slashing waves struck Yang from all sorts of tricky angles.
Assassin Sasaki Kojiro's Swallow Return is like a ghost, with the sword light seemingly attacking from three different dimensions at the same time, making it unpredictable and eerie.
However, even with his attention diverted, Yang still managed to fight three opponents at once and maintain a firm advantage.
"Hehehehe, weirdo!" Moria, with his missing arm, watched this scene, his immense fear overwhelming his pain.
Perona tried to harass him with negative spirits, but to no avail; Absalom didn't even dare to get close.
Sitting on the back of the four-legged creature, Taigong Wang remained calm and composed, even yawning.
The distant sky was instantly swallowed up by an endless sea of golden lightning!
A terrifying pillar of lightning, thick enough to seem to connect heaven and earth, hurtled straight toward the terrifying three-comb sailboat with the force to destroy everything!
The divine power contained within it far surpassed any level that anyone present had ever experienced before!
"What?!"
"Damn it!"
"Get out of the way!"
The expressions of everyone engaged in battle changed drastically, and they instinctively stopped fighting.
Yang Tian's eyes suddenly opened fully, bursting forth with dazzling divine light.
Without hesitation, he abandoned his opponent, his figure flashing back to Taigong Wang's side, his three-pointed double-edged sword held horizontally in front of his chest, his face extremely solemn.
"Uncle-Master, this divine power—"
Taigong Wang nodded, his eyes becoming slightly more serious.
"Hmm, that being has arrived. It's quite a sight...."
Hawkeye and Kojiro simultaneously sheathed their swords and leaped away, while Doflamingo used his strings to pull himself away from the ship's area.
They all sensed a deadly threat from that pillar of lightning.
next moment!
BOOM!!!
The massive bolt of lightning did not strike the ship directly, but instead exploded on the sea surface a hundred meters in front of the bow!
Towering waves, mixed with raging lightning, were blasted hundreds of meters high, crashing down on the terrifying three-masted sailing ship like a tsunami.
The entire sea seemed to boil over at the sight of that one strike!
The terrifying three-masted ship was violently rocked by the huge waves like a toy, and the people on the deck could barely stand.
Lightning flashed across the seawater, causing the ship's hull to crackle and pop.
Amidst the lightning and waves, a figure slowly descended.
His white hair flew wildly, his dark skin shimmered with a metallic sheen, and his golden eyes held only endless indifference and majesty. He was surrounded by tangible lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth!
It was Indra!
In his hand, he was also carrying Enel, who was paralyzed by electricity and spewing black smoke.
"Noisy—too noisy—who dares to make such a racket and disturb the God-King's journey?"
Indra's cold, radiant light swept across the crowd on the board, finally settling on Yang and Taigong Wang.
He sensed an extremely powerful divine force from Yang, while he felt an unfathomable aura from Taigong Wang.
This aura definitely did not originate from this guy himself, but rather from a divine artifact bestowed upon him by some being of equal rank.
"I never expected to encounter a deity from the same world here. Only from the East." Indra's voice boomed like thunder.
"What are you doing here?"
The overwhelming divine power made it hard for everyone to breathe.
Doflamingo's lips twitched, and sweat beaded on his forehead; his previous arrogance was gone.
Hawkeye's expression was extremely solemn as he gripped the black sword Night, ready for a fight to the death.
Kojiro stood in front of Hawkeye, smiling, but his body was fully prepared for battle.
Moriah was so frightened that he curled up into a ball.
Yang stepped forward, his three-pointed double-edged sword pointing directly at Indra, showing no fear.
"We are acting on orders from the World Government to apprehend a wanted criminal. You must be some kind of Thor; why are you obstructing us?"
"World Government?" Indra chuckled.
"Is this the place where those vile scoundrels imprisoned my son Arjuna's soul? That's not what I'm talking about, don't play dumb."
He reacted violently to the term "world government," his eyes flashing with even greater rage.
"My question is, by what being's will have you come to this world? That Celestial Being? Or perhaps Alaya?"
Taigong Wang patted the Qilin, stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile.
"Your Excellency Thor, I, Jiang Ziya, greet you. Regardless of whether you refer to a government or any other entity."
"We are here on official business and have no intention of making an enemy of you. If you have nothing to do with the criminals here, why don't we go our separate ways?"
He tried to ease the tension, but his words were full of probing.
"Unrelated? I see, I see—" Indra sneered, now he understood Taigong Wang's position.
He glanced at Enel, who was half-dead in his hand, and then swept his gaze over the scorch marks on the deck caused by his divine lightning.
"Your presence has disturbed the celestial phenomena and delayed my journey. This is an offense against the Heavenly Emperor; how can this be unrelated?"
"Moreover—you are in cahoots with this corrupt and decadent world government, making you my enemies! You deserve the wrath of the Heavenly Emperor!"
"This time, I did not diminish the spiritual energy, and Vajra was not born. Therefore, be thankful that the Heavenly Emperor himself has bestowed divine punishment upon us!"
Before he could finish speaking, Indra had already made his move! He didn't even bother with words anymore, simply flicking his finger!
A bolt of lightning, radiating an aura of destruction, instantly traversed space and shot towards Taigong Wang—to capture the thief, first capture the king!
"Junior Uncle, be careful!"
Yang Li shouted, and his Heavenly Eye shone brightly, instantly analyzing the trajectory and power of the lightning. The three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand burst forth with unprecedented light, and he thrust it forward with a simple straight thrust!
The tip of the blade struck the very tip of the dark golden lightning with perfect precision!
Boom! ...
A terrifying explosion erupted at the point where the blade's tip met the lightning!
Yang's body trembled violently, and the deck beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, but he did not retreat an inch. Relying on his supreme martial arts and divine power, he actually blocked Indra's attack.
However, his arm holding the knife trembled slightly, and his tiger's mouth was a little numb, so it was obviously not easy for him.
"Oh? You actually managed to block my attack? It seems you have a Spirit Origin of the same caliber. In that case, you should also be qualified for Grand rank."
A hint of surprise flashed in Indra's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger fighting spirit.
"Interesting! Martial God of the East, state your name!"
"Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, Yang!" Yang announced his name, his eyes sharp as knives, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky, no less than that of Indra.
"Yang? Remember that!" Indra laughed, and the lightning around him became even more violent.
"Again! Let me see what you're capable of!"
He made a fist with both hands, and endless lightning condensed in his hands, transforming into a Vajra made of lightning!
With a slight twitch of his fingers, the lightning seemed to materialize, wielding the Lightning Vajra and charging directly towards Yang.
"Afraid of you?!" Yang Hao's anger surged, and he brandished his three-pointed double-edged sword, charging forward to meet the attack!
In an instant, Yang Jianglin unleashed his full power for the first time, charging forward to meet the attack head-on. The Thunder Vajra clashed violently with the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade!
Each collision unleashed a deafening roar and a devastating shockwave.
Golden lightning and silver divine power flew everywhere, destroying large sections of the deck, masts, and cabins of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship!
The aftershocks of the battle even caused continuous explosions on the surrounding sea surface.
Yang pushed the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to its limit, his movements were as fast as lightning, his swordsmanship was divine, and he used the Seventy-Two Transformations to dodge the fatal lightning strike, fighting Indra to a standstill!
Indra was increasingly astonished as the fight progressed. His opponent's martial arts were exquisite, his strength immense, and his supernatural abilities varied greatly. He was able to fight his Vajra opponent to a standstill!
This fueled his even greater competitive spirit.
Taigong Wang watched from the side, nodding repeatedly, but secretly calculating, as if waiting for something.
On the other side, Doflamingo, Hawkeye, and the others were already stunned by the scene of this battle of gods, and they all moved away from the center of the battlefield to avoid being accidentally injured by the aftershocks.
"Are you kidding me? Even a monster like Yang can't defeat him?" Doflamingo's face was grim.
Hawkeye remained silent, but the black knife he gripped tightly revealed his inner turmoil.
Kojiro stared intently at the two fighting, his eyes gleaming with the excitement of a predator.
And just as this chaos reached its peak.
On the distant sea, a shadowy figure is secretly observing.
Marshall D. Teach, with his black beard, observed the hallucinatory images transmitted back by the Earl.
"Hahaha, that's Indra?! And those two monstrous heroic spirits from the government?! Why are they fighting?! On my target ship?!"
Blackbeard was dumbfounded; this was completely different from the scene he had imagined when receiving the materials!
The count beside him let out a low laugh: "Hush, it seems your fat has become a hot potato, or even a slaughterhouse."
Blackbeard's expression was unpredictable, a mix of emotions swirling in his eyes.
"Just like you said, wait and hold onto hope—"
