Chapter 014: Spikes and Hammers

The remaining combat energy in his body barely formed a thin defensive layer, which was quickly torn apart by the swarming wind blades. Fortunately, the dwarves had strong immunity to magic, so the wind blades didn’t cause serious injuries to Gelmu—only superficial cuts on his skin. Gelmu’s appearance was pitiful: messy hair, a darkened face, and clothes torn apart by the wind blades. Looking through the torn clothes, his flesh was exposed and bloody—a truly horrible sight.

Gelmu’s strength was no less than Du Fan’s. However, Du Fan used too many diverse techniques—wind magic, Thunder Sword, and Light Combat Energy—making it difficult for Gelmu to adapt. Though in terrible condition, Gelmu wasn’t seriously injured. Seeing himself in such a state, he roared in fury, grabbed his axe, and charged at Du Fan. The two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

On the other side, Leibao and Haroch were also locked in combat, with no clear winner. As for Moses and Ulnar Luo, it was obvious that Moses had the upper hand. Moses had unleashed a War Domain, whose range had reached 800 meters under his control! This domain completely suppressed Ulnar Luo’s own domain, which seemed gradually being enveloped by Moses’s.

Ulnar Luo’s weapons were quite unique—one spike in each hand and one large hammer in each hand. His appearance was that of a dwarf miner. Ulnar Luo used to be a miner. His family was extremely poor, so he started working as a miner at a young age. At the mine, an older miner took a liking to him and taught him his cultivation methods. Over time, Ulnar Luo integrated cultivation into his work. The monotonous, repetitive tasks of mining became an excellent way for him to practice. By constantly using his spikes on the ore and swinging his heavy hammer, he gradually developed incredible strength and even mastered a unique skill.

Faced with increasing pressure from Moses’s domain, Ulnar Luo finally resorted to his ultimate technique. Holding his awl and hammer, he steadily and slowly made his way to the intersection of his own domain and Moses’s domain. He placed the tip of the awl at that junction, raised his hammer, and struck it down hard at the back end of the awl.

With that strike, a series of sparks burst out from the front end of the awl, glowing brightly. These sparks transformed into fiery red lightning that spread across the surface of Moses’s domain.

Strike after strike, Ulnar Luo paid no attention to the fine cracks appearing in his own domain due to Moses’s pressure. He continued to raise his hammer and relentlessly attack Moses’s domain.

With each strike from Ulnar Luo’s hammer, more fiery red lightning appeared on Moses’s domain’s surface. Those lightning bolts resembled countless networks of red electricity, spreading rapidly across the domain’s surface. The red lightning emitted a hissing sound as it spread step by step.

The six people present were caught in a strange balance. Both armies temporarily ceased fighting to watch this rare encounter between domain masters.

Normally, it was already very lucky to see two domain masters fight, let alone six of them at once!

Leibiao’s spear movements grew increasingly steady, each motion carrying an indescribable mystery. The spear tips kept piercing forward, drawing arcs that gave the impression of incredible speed, as if those arcs hid some ineffable mysteries.

As a master who had entered the domain realm for hundreds of years, Leibiao naturally possessed several secret techniques.

As the arcs drawn by his spear grew more frequent, Haroch, who was fighting against him, felt as though he were stuck in mud. This feeling limited Haroch’s ability to perform at even 80% of his usual strength, while Leibiao’s spear attacks remained fierce and relentless.

On Du Fan’s side, Gelmu, severely damaged by Du Fan’s repeated attacks, was now completely frenzied. Wielding his axe, he pursued Du Fan relentlessly. Du Fan refused to engage in a direct fight instead moving swiftly around the battlefield. Gelmu’s speed was much slower than Du Fan’s, forcing him to chase after Du Fan everywhere.

It could be said that the confrontation between Du Fan and Gelmu completely lacked the grace expected of domain masters.

Ulnar Luo continued to hammer away firmly, and Moses felt that the red lightning creeping over his domain was constantly dividing it! Although the red lightning kept splitting Moses’s domain, it did not affect Moses’s domain’s ability to suppress Ulnar Luo’s domain. Under Moses’s domain’s pressure, Ulnar Luo’s domain even began to emit sounds of strain. Soon, the red lightning on Ulnar Luo’s cone covered Moses’s war domain. The red lightning made a sound like thousands of birds taking flight at once, its glow flickering continuously. Ulnar Luo’s cone kept attacking Moses’s war domain without pause. With a loud crash, under Ulnar Luo’s relentless attacks, Moses’s war domain was finally torn apart by the red lightning. As Moses’s domain shattered, the sound of thousands of birds also disappeared. Then, another loud crash came. Ulnar Luo’s domain also completely split open. The domains of the six combatants present were all destroyed. At that moment, a roar suddenly came from Karu’s army, and a purple-gold dwarf standing about 1.8 meters tall stepped forward. “Metal Soul! Purple-Gold Dwarf!” Seeing this suddenly appearing purple-gold dwarf, Du Fan’s heart skipped a beat! It seemed that the army of the Tata tribe was also here. This purple-gold dwarf was actually the combined form of the Tata tribe’s Four Metal Brothers. Having fought against the Four Metal Brothers before, Du Fan knew well how powerful this combined purple-gold dwarf was. Upon seeing it, Basha shouted, “Six Wings, follow me!” After saying that, Basha grabbed his axe and rushed toward the purple-gold dwarf. Six Wings let out some strange sounds; he could understand them, but he had no vocal cords and could not speak. Basha, with his short stature, ran quickly across the ground, while Six Wings flew in the air, closely following Basha. Facing the purple-gold dwarf, their attacks arrived almost simultaneously—one swung an axe at the dwarf’s waist, while the other thrust a spear at its head. The purple-gold dwarf used two axes—one to block upward and the other downward—to block Basha’s axe. After blocking it, the dwarf lifted its foot and kicked Basha in the stomach.

With a muffled thud, Basha was kicked far away. Rolling over, Basha stubbornly got back on his feet; his golden dragon-scale armor meant he suffered no harm. After kicking Basha away, the purple-gold dwarf raised his axe to block Basha’s weapon and swung it at Six Wings once again. Six Wings flapped its six wings rapidly and flew away before the dwarf’s attack could reach it. Seeing the purple-gold dwarf appear, Gelmu, Harochi, and Zhigulu immediately became more aggressive and launched continuous attacks. Seeing that both Basha and Six Wings had been driven back, the purple-gold dwarf couldn’t help but let out a roar. He pushed off the ground with both feet and leaped toward Basha. Clearly, this purple-gold dwarf also knew that among everyone, Basha was the most crucial! At the same time, five captains from the Black Panther Knight Corps rushed out to confront the purple-gold dwarf. The five saints simultaneously faced him. Just as the purple-gold dwarf was about to reach Basha, the five captains also arrived at the same time. In the sky, Six Wings followed closely behind the dwarf. The six saints attacked the dwarf at once, all six of them wielding their weapons simultaneously. The purple-gold dwarf spun around, wielding his two axes like snowflakes, and sent the five saint captains flying with a single move—flying five saints away in one strike. This clearly showed just how powerful the dwarf was. However, Du Fan wasn’t surprised by this; back when he escaped from Glass, he had already witnessed the dwarf’s strength. Even seven saints couldn’t deal with him, and they were forced to keep fleeing only when Karu’s pursuers were closing in. Only Six Wings, still flying in the sky, stopped attacking the dwarf upon seeing its unstoppable force. Of course, it wasn’t that Six Wings stopped attacking altogether; rather, it shot a spear at the dwarf right after the five captains were sent flying. This bought Basha some time. It was during this brief interval that Basha fully recovered from the daze caused by being kicked away and saw Six Wings being sent flying vertically into the sky by the dwarf’s axe. After flying dozens of meters high, Six Wings flapped its wings rapidly and came to a stop.

The warriors on Karu’s side watching from the surroundings, seeing the fierce determination of the Purple-Gold Dwarves, all started shouting wildly! Karu’s army had been under pressure from Basha’s forces all along and had been holding back their anger. Now that the Purple-Gold Dwarves were fiercely helping them vent their frustration, they all cheered in unison.
From the beginning, Karu’s army had been at a disadvantage against Basha’s forces. From Du Fan’s hurricane that swept away all obstacles, to Nai Xiu’s two sun-shooting attacks that created a gap of about a hundred meters in the city walls, to the three dark magic dragons that scattered Karu’s army’s formation, and even up until Moses’ domain collapsed just now, it was always Basha’s side that held the upper hand in the battle.
