NOVPUBChapter 865: Chapter 464: Another Person Slain Chapter 865: Chapter 464: Another Person Slain As time passed, the two had gone through dozens of rounds of intense combat.
Up until now, they were almost evenly matched, with mana significantly depleted.
The enduring battle continued, with both parties fueled by public and private grievances flaring up.
In order to achieve victory, they both persevered, waiting for an opportune moment to severely injure the other.
Each bore this intention, and despite facing numerous challenges, neither dared to let their guard down.
In this deadlock, after Lin Tianming launched an attack, both were sent recoiling some distance.
Barely steadying his form, Lin Tianming saw Gu Changqing not far away, his breathing increasingly rapid, and a trace of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
...
Clearly, Gu Changqing’s exhaustion had intensified, and his injuries grew more severe.
Although Lin Tianming himself bore many wounds, his aura and momentum showed no signs of decreasing. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Looking at his opponent, Gu Changqing’s expression was grave. Although his breath was still steady, his aura was like that of a defeated rooster, lacking its usual brilliance.
It was apparent that Gu Changqing was on a downward slope, his strength significantly weaker than at his peak.
Lin Tianming noted these changes in his opponent, silently calculating in his heart.
Previously, he had no advantage and could only pressure Gu Changqing enough to prevent him from being careless.
But now, he distinctly felt that Gu Changqing’s attack power was weakening, clearly struggling.
Though this momentum was faint, Lin Tianming detected it.
It must be said, this was good news for him.
And though he had been at a disadvantage earlier, as the fight wore on, he gradually gained the upper hand.
Now, all he needed to do was strike while the iron was hot, give no breathing room to Gu Changqing, and continue to intensify his suppression to surely find a flaw.
For such an opportunity, he had previously been calm and steady, and now he finally saw some hope.
With this thought in mind, Lin Tianming took a deep breath and then charged toward Gu Changqing.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Their attacks clashed head-on, igniting the sky once again, and the sound of explosions continued unabated.
A wave of energy repelled them, and neither had yet regained their composure.
At that moment, Lin Tianming conjured another fireball in his hand and hurled it at Gu Changqing.
The fireball moved swiftly, appearing over the head of Gu Changqing in an instant.
Seeing the familiar fireball with that flickering blue flame inside, he knew well the power of the Blue Heart True Flame.
At that time, Gu Changqing’s expression turned solemn, and in a rush, he retreated.
This time, like the first facing the fireball, he moved his nimble body to the side.
His speed was fast, although the move was perilous, with the potential to be hit at any moment.
But he was decisive, and having witnessed it once before, he had already cleared a space.
Thus, evading this attack was not difficult for him, but the ground below him was about to be bombarded once again.
However, just as the fireball was on the verge of passing by him, it suddenly split apart and burst into numerous droplets of fire raining down, instantly engulfing the sky above Gu Changqing.
These countless droplets of fire, resembling rain, turned the drops into a brilliant display of fiery rain.
However, Lin Tianming was well aware that, although diluted, the fire rain was still Blue Heart True Flame; even a slight touch meant bearing the scorching of the flames.
He had even personally experienced it; with his great physical strength, even ten percent of the contact with the flame brought immense pain.
It was unimaginable that if even he could not endure the terrifying power of Blue Heart True Flame, ordinary Golden Core Cultivators would hardly be able to suppress it, let alone shake off the flames.
At that moment, seeing the transformation from fireball to fiery rain, Gu Changqing’s face instantly changed.
Then, as he sped up his escape, he heard a thunderclap explode next to his ear, followed immediately by enveloping flames.
In that instant, he felt the terrifying heat, roasting his body.
For a moment, he felt dizzy and racked with intense pain.
The sensation was excruciating, almost causing him to faint.
At that moment, he clenched his teeth, striving to maintain a shred of clarity, to avoid becoming a sitting duck.
However, he faced an even more difficult situation ahead, as the quantity of fiery rain was quite substantial, each droplet posing a fatal threat.
Under such circumstances, though he burst forth at his fastest speed to evade, he still couldn’t avoid some contact.
In desperation, with a pale face, Gu Changqing hurriedly activated the Ancient Mirror Treasure, turning it into a barrier above his head.
Quickly, the Ancient Mirror grew to several meters in size, eventually enveloping his body securely.
In his eyes, although this Magical Treasure had mediocre attacking power, its ability to attack and defend, and its unpredictable nature were significant.
Under such severe pressure, he felt uncertain whether the Ancient Mirror could withstand the erosion of the fiery rain.
But at the moment, there wasn’t time to ponder these issues; all he could hope for was this Magical Treasure to block the terrifying Blue Heart True Flame.
Otherwise, if he couldn’t even overcome this challenge, what followed would be meaningless.
