NOVPUBChapter 863: Chapter 463: Equally Matched Opponents Chapter 863: Chapter 463: Equally Matched Opponents At this moment, the Gang Wind ravaged between heaven and earth, spiritual energy and air churned wildly, and bursts of roaring sounds continuously emanated.
Following that, Han Hu and a group of cultivators refused to be outdone, each beginning to launch their attacks.
Seeing Zhao Hongsheng make a move, Zhou Yunxiao snorted coldly, and also charged toward his opponent.
Quickly, the two strongest cultivators in each camp flew to the highest point in the sky and fiercely battled into a blur.
Not far from them, others fought with the opponents assigned to them beforehand, engaging in life-and-death struggles.
Lin Tianming’s opponent was an old foe of the Lin Family, Gu Changqing from the Qingyun Sect.
This man had encountered Lin Tianming many years ago.
...
At that time, he was merely at the Qi Refinement Realm, and the gap between them was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.
However, in just a few short decades, the two had become opponents, which was indeed hard to believe.
At this time, Lin Tianming’s expression was solemn, and his Qinghong Sword erupted with a massive amount of Sword Qi, engulfing Gu Changqing in an instant.
Faced with Lin Tianming’s attack, Gu Changqing’s face remained unchanged, even carrying a sense of contempt.
In his eyes, he seemed to hardly believe that Xu Zhi, his fellow sect brother, could be jointly killed by a few newly advanced Golden Core cultivators at that insignificant place known as Green Bamboo Mountain.
He found it even more unbelievable that Meng Qingfeng, who was also at the Early Stage Golden Core, had been slain single-handedly by Lin Tianming, who had just advanced to Golden Core a few years ago.
Yet in just a few years, the two sides, already bound by enmity, clashed once again directly.
And now, Lin Tianming had taken the initiative to strike, with a very clear target and no hesitation.
Besides that, there was no one around to assist him; it was unclear whether he had chosen his own opponent or if Zhou Yunxiao had forcefully assigned the task.
But regardless, was such an arrangement underestimating him a bit?
After all, he was at Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivation, and his situation was not the same as Xu Zhi’s.
Xu Zhi had been excessively arrogant and was ultimately killed by the united efforts of four, even though the Lin Family’s several Golden Core cultivators had achieved victory, each had suffered significant injuries.
Today’s situation was different, Lin Tianming was on his own, and the others had their own opponents; no one would be able to come to his aid in a short time.
Given this, where did he, whose cultivation was seemingly at a disadvantage, get his confidence?
“Forget it, forget it!”
“I didn’t want to trouble you so soon, but since people from the Lin Family have come to die by their own volition, there is no need for me to hold back; might as well take this opportunity to collect some interest,”
“As for the others, they will sooner or later pay the price they owe!”
Gu Changqing thought to himself with undisguised contempt on his face.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The attacks of the two clashed hard against each other, sending powerful waves sweeping out.
In an instant, Lin Tianming’s attack was effortlessly neutralized by Gu Changqing, who sent the former flying back more than ten zhang with a blast of air.
Before he could catch his breath, Gu Changqing leaped forward, and a golden light mirror in his hand erupted into a colossal beam of light, aiming directly for Lin Tianming’s head.
The beam was incredibly thick, and under the gaze of Lin Tianming’s Eye of Five Colors, the energy flowing within held certain intricacies.
And this light mirror Magical Treasure, Lin Tianming found somewhat familiar.
Years ago, during the battle over the Mysterious Moon Order between Gu Changqing and Chen Jingtian, a great fight had erupted.
At that time, Lin Tianming had witnessed the entire battle, with the former losing to the stronger Chen Jingtian and ultimately relinquishing the Mysterious Moon Order.
After observing that fight, Lin Tianming had a general understanding of Gu Changqing’s capabilities and was also clear about the divine attributes of this light mirror.
In his eyes, even if Gu Changqing was at Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivation, his strength was clearly not on par with Chen Jingtian, and his Magical Treasure was also a notch below Chen Jingtian’s.
Otherwise, he would not have been pressured to give up the Mysterious Moon Order initially.
Over the years, Chen Jingtian had been through many battles, with more than a few Golden Core Cultivators and even Third Order Demon Beasts slain by his hand.
With such an impressive record, Chen Jingtian was well-regarded, and naturally, there was a certain gap between him and an ordinary cultivator of the same level like Gu Changqing.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming had readily accepted the opponent assigned to him.
Now, facing the attack of Gu Changqing’s light mirror, Lin Tianming’s Eye of Five Colors flickered with Spiritual Light, and his body moved nimbly, with extreme speed.
In a split second, Lin Tianming had sidestepped dozens of zhang, evading the descending beam of light.
With a loud noise, a massive pit emerged in the ground where Lin Tianming had just been.
Seeing his strike miss, Gu Changqing’s brow furrowed, and when he looked at Lin Tianming again, his expression became much more serious.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianming kept his composure, assessing Gu Changqing’s strength while observing him.
After these two rounds of probing attacks, they had both gained a basic understanding of each other’s capabilities.
But this was just the surface, as everyone would keep some trump cards in hand.
Fully aware of this, Lin Tianming did not dare to be careless and remained highly alert.
A few breaths later, Gu Changqing struck again, and the two reengaged in battle.
At that moment, Lin Tianming formed a Law Decree with his hands, and a red fireball appeared.
This fireball grew gradually in his hand, the flickering flames inside a pale blue color, causing a change in the surrounding spiritual energy as soon as it appeared.
