Clouds swirled behind Dijun, making him appear as though he were ascending to immortality. Yet, Ake was still clutching his peanuts, looking like a complete fool—which he actually was...
"Stop it." Gu Tao rushed forward. "Emperor, let's keep it civilized!"
Dijun snorted coldly, ignoring him entirely. He raised his hand, unleashing the boundless power of mountains and seas toward Gu Tao and Ake. But Ake simply tilted his head and threw out a punch. The instant his fist left his hand, its speed multiplied by twenty-seven times the speed of sound, creating a shockwave in front of him. Accompanied by a deafening hum, the wave carried Dijun's technique and slammed it against the inner wall of the protective shield, triggering a massive explosion of energy. Gu Tao felt the ground shaking violently, the small courtyard ravaged by the shockwave. He was blown off the ground instantly but fortunately, his battle armor responded swiftly; without it, the fall would have broken bones for sure.
