Asura vs Undead Romeo

In a surprise, Su Lin, who was not so far from Asura, exclaimed, "What?"

She hadn't expected that someone would sneak attack Asura, and that someone turned out to be a formidable cultivator in the late stage of the Sky Realm. Su Lin looked at the undead Romeo, sensing his unique aura.

What struck her as strange was that his aura differed significantly from that of the living. While each person had a distinctive aura, there were usually some commonalities among them. In Romeo's case, his aura didn't resemble that of a living being but rather that of a deceased person. "But if he's dead, how can he move?" Su Lin pondered.

While lost in thought, she continued her approach toward Asura. Asura, sensing her presence nearby, shouted, "Stay back. I will deal with him alone."

Upon hearing Asura's shout, Su Lin halted her footsteps and nodded. She retreated several hundred meters to provide Asura with the space he needed for the fight.

Asura's eyes remained locked on the undead Romeo, his sword still at the ready. He had already activated his hidden strength when Undead Romeo attempted the sneak attack. Asura asked him "Are you dead or Alive ?"

Undead Romeo didn't reply his lifeless gaze met Asura's, devoid of any emotion or recognition. Asura was now sure that this person was not a living person and somehow he became an undead.

With a sudden burst of speed that defied his zombie-like appearance, Romeo lunged forward, his movements still imbued with the agility he possessed in his previous life. Asura, his instincts and experience as a seasoned warrior taking over, met Romeo's attack with a swift and graceful parry. Their blades clashed with a metallic ring, sending sparks scattering into the air.

Asura and Undead Romeo engaged in a fierce battle under the watchful eyes of Su Lin, who had retreated to a safe distance. Asura wielded his spiritual sword, while Romeo brandished his spiritual dagger, and the clash of their weapons created a cacophony of sparks and ringing metal.

Asura's years of training and combat experience allowed him to quickly adapt to the unusual fighting style of an undead opponent. He noticed that Romeo's movements were fluid and precise, with no hesitation in his strikes. It was clear that Romeo retained the combat skills from his previous life, and his undead state seemed to enhance his physical abilities.

Asura and Romeo exchanged blows, each strike resonating with power. Romeo's dagger, despite its smaller size, proved to be a formidable weapon, capable of slipping through Asura's defenses with ease. Asura, on the other hand, relied on his well-honed techniques and the reach of his sword to keep Romeo at bay.

The battle raged on, with neither opponent gaining a clear advantage. Asura's eyes narrowed with determination, and he unleashed a series of precise strikes, attempting to find an opening in Romeo's defenses. Romeo's unyielding onslaught of attacks made it clear that he had no intention of holding back.

The spectators, including Su Lin, were in awe of the intensity and skill on display. It was a clash of two powerful cultivators, one from the living world and the other from beyond the grave. The outcome of this battle was uncertain, and the fate of Asura and Romeo hung in the balance.

Juliet, who had been locked in her own intense battle with the Silver-Haired Minister, cast an occasional glance toward the fight between Asura and the undead Romeo. She watched with a sinister smile, knowing that she had unleashed a formidable adversary upon her most hateful enemy. The battlefield had become a stage for a clash of titans, and the world held its breath as the epic battle unfolded.

This time, it was Asura who used his Battle Skill first, shouting "Heaven Breaking Fist."

In response, Romeo's hand transformed into lava rock, but the yellow-orange color of the lava vein changed to a green hue on Undead Romeo's arm.

Their punches collided, creating powerful shockwaves. Cultivators who were under the Sky Realm were blown away a few meters by the shockwaves within a one-kilometer radius.

When the dust settled, Asura and Undead Romeo had both retreated ten steps due to the collision. Asura felt some pain in his arm and glanced at Undead Romeo to gauge his reaction, but there was no expression on his face.

Romeo was now undead, so he didn't experience pain, which explained his lack of reaction, even if someone were to cut him in half his expression would have been unchanged.

Asura realized that his Battle Skill had indeed caused some damage to Undead Romeo, although it was relatively minor and wouldn't significantly affect the undead Romeo's performance in the match.

Asura was certain that the green lava arm move was a Battle Skill because he had observed Undead Romeo gathering martial energy at the same time he was preparing for his Battle Skill.

Nonetheless, Asura was surprised because, for the first time, his Battle Skill wasn't dominant over his opponent's Battle Skill. The green lava arm move of Undead Romeo proved to be as formidable as Asura's Heaven Breaking Fist.
