Chapter 112 Heartbreaking Battle


    "Bang!" It mmed into Rocky''s shoulder. He heard the bone in his right shoulder crack. He then felt a


    sharp pain in his right arm that soon faded to a dull ache.


    Rocky started to roar withughter as he gripped his shoulder with his disabled arm. He then raised his


    left arm and pointed it towards Iron''s head. An ice talon immediately shot out from it, carrying the


    spiritual power at the middle grade of the Heavenly Stage.


    Iron did not expect that Rocky would use himself as a bait and hit him with such a strong power. His


    eyes were wide open in shock as he saw the ice taloning straight for his head.


    Iron gave out a long piercing scream before his head violently exploded.


    The look on everyone''s faces, including Alston, was of pure astonishment. They could not believe what


    they had just witnessed.


    "How could this be possible?" Alston''s eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen Rocky defeat his


    opponent from the Magic Phoenix Empire during the Dragon Birth Festival with the same technique. At


    that time, he had thought Rocky had just been lucky. However, now that he had seen the technique for


    a second time, it seemed that it was not that simple.


    The fact that a royal spirit maniptor at the entry grade of the Earthly Stage managed to kill a spirit


    maniptor at the middle grade of the Heavenly Stage was absolutely incredible.


    However, the battle left Rocky in a bad shape. His right arm was limp at his side and he was spitting


    out blood. Soon, he was no longer able to hold himself together and copsed onto the ground.


    Hawk was fuming in anger at witnessing Iron got killed. The next second, his spiritual power rushed out


    and he was filled with murderous intent. His talon came straight for Rocky who was now defenseless


    and could only watch as he attacked.


    Rocky felt as if everything was in slow motion.


    Just as Rocky was about to meet his end at the hands of Hawk, a shadow swooped in like a hurricane


    and made its way to Rocky''s side. It then bit Hawk''s wrist.


    Hawk screamed in pain and shook off the beast as he tried to retrieve his hand. He drew a few steps


    backwards and stared at the figure that was standing right next to Rocky.


    It was Uriah. It had sensed that its master was in danger and came to the rescue.


    "What are you doing here, buddy?" Rocky weakly chuckled as he patted Uriah''s head.


    Uriah howled a couple of times before it started to lick Rocky''s wound.


    "You came just in time. Thest half bottle of the magical saliva just might work." Rocky managed to sit


    himself up and downed thest magical saliva that he fetched from inside his clothes. He then took out


    the yellow spiritual crystal.


    Uriah roared. It seemed to be ready for thest stand with its master. Rocky then ced the yellow


    spiritual crystal into Uriah''s open mouth. It immediately swallowed the crystal and its body was


    illuminated with a bright light as waves of spiritual power poured out.


    Rocky then settled his hand on Uriah''s forehead and absorbed the spiritual power from the crystal


    using his dragon spiritual power. His wounds instantly started to heal as the absorbed spiritual power


    began to fill his entire body.


    Most of his wounds and injuries were soon healed except for his right arm, which needed a much more


    careful treatment.


    Alston was once again shocked to see Rocky transform as if he was reborn.


    "Prince Alston, should we join the fight?" The other two guards at the middle grade of the Heavenly


    Stage asked.


    "He''s only at the Earthly Stage, but it''s still going to take four of my guards at the Heavenly Stage to


    defeat him? I don''t think so. We''ll be aughing stock if we do. What happened just then was an


    ident," Alston coldly said, ring at Rocky''s direction.


    "Hawk!" Alston shouted.


    Hawk grew solemn, as he knew that if he failed at killing Rocky again, Alston would not trust him any


    longer. His hand morphed into a talon and ripped a hole in the space, from which a giant eagle-like


    shadow flew right out. It hovered in the air for a few seconds before it swooped down towards Rocky


    and Uriah.


    Rocky turned to look at it and saw that it was an owl with two heads and four talons. It looked to be a


    four-star spirit-manipted beast, with an aura more intense than Uriah''s. It must be at the third grade


    of the four-star level.


    However, as frighteningly enormous as the beast was, Uriah was not one bit scared to confront it head-


    on. Uriah charged towards the beast and a heated confrontation immediately began between the two.


    At the same moment, Rocky suddenly saw a shadow appear from his periphery. He hurriedly moved to


    the side to avoid it, but he was a fraction of a moment toote as a talon shed through his right


    shoulder and left a deep cut from that shoulder down to his arm. The shadow quickly disappeared and


    he then felt another freezing auraing from behind him.


    "Damn, he''s fast!" Rocky said, narrowing his eyes. He immediately activated his dragon spiritual power


    and turned around to take the hit. Chaos erupted. Rocky then absorbed the power of the iing


    attack, raised his left arm, and released the power he just absorbed.


    The shadow disappeared again in an instant. The power Rocky released hit the ground instead and


    blew a huge hole in it.


    "What kind of trick are you ying?" The shadow reappeared. It was Hawk. He hadn''t made use of all


    of his strength a while ago, causing the death of Iron and his failure to kill Rocky. So this time, he did


    not hold anything back and directed all his power towards Rocky. However, he did find Rocky''s attack


    quite strange.


    Hawk was not initially aware that as Rocky absorbed energy, his body would experience a shockwave


    because of the difference in strength. Even with this special skill, he could only use it three times


    consequently.


    He had already used it once, so he would only be able to use two more times, tops.


    Hawk was at the middle grade of the Heavenly Stage and noticed this weakness of his. He pressed on


    and forced Rocky into using the skill for the second time. Rocky''s condition was starting to deteriorate


    and his face was twisting in agony.


    At the same time, Uriah was now pinned down by the two-headed owl and therefore would not be able


    to lend a helping hand.


    The situation was starting to go south for Rocky.


    "Hawk Storm!" Hawk utilized his deadliest spiritual martial arts attack. His whole body turned into


    countless shadows and ice talons that rapidly shot to the ground, creating sparks wherever they


    Rocky tried his best to dodge the attacks, but he still took several hits.


    As Rocky ran for his life, Hawk found an opening and made himself appear in front of Rocky. He


    smirked victoriously at him.


    "Hawk Rip!" Hawk crossed his hands and shed down. Two giant shadows of talons immediately tore


    through the space. They closed in on Rocky in a sh.


    Seeing that he would no longer be able to dodge it, he activated the dragon spiritual power once again


    and tried to absorb the power of the two giant talon shadows. Hawk anticipated this move and his hand


    cut straight to Rocky''s chest just as he was about to absorb the power. It cut deep into his flesh like a


    sharp de. Spiritual power flowed into Rocky''s body through the tips of his fingers.


    Rocky felt a stabbing pain in his chest as the invading spiritual power wreaked havoc inside his body.


    Within seconds, his spiritual power wentpletely out of control and he was soon immobilized.


    Uriah saw that its master was in distress and it immediately came running towards him, giving the two-


    headed owl an opportunity to sneak an attack behind its back. It sunk its talons deep into Uriah''s body


    and carried it up in the air. Once it was high up, it shook Uriah off its talon. In a sh, Uriah fell to


    ground andy there, motionless.


    "Uriah!" Rocky screamed out. His face was contorted in agony and his eyes were filled with fury. He


    wanted to run to it and help it, but he was unable to move.

    Hawk was indeed a fearsome opponent. He lifted Rocky up and then smashed him to the ground,


    causing blood to gush out of Rocky''s mouth. He could not even get up this time.


    "Ha-ha! I see… You care a lot about this thing. I will tear it to pieces!" Hawk howled withughter and


    pressed his foot down onto Rocky, sneering at him.


    The two-headed owl aligned its flight path and aimed at Uriah for the final attack.


    "No! Don''t you dare touch it, or I swear I will... Kill… I will kill you." Rocky red at Hawk. He struggled


    quite a bit as he forced himself to stand up, pushing Hawk''s foot away.


    Hawk was somewhat rmed to see that Rocky was still able to get up. He then immediately kicked


    him back down to the ground again.


    At that moment, the two-headed owl had once again swooped down at Uriah and had grabbed it by the


    limbs with its four talons, ready to rip it apart.
