NOVPUBChapter 960: Chapter 509: Join Forces to Meet the Battle_2 Chapter 960: Chapter 509: Join Forces to Meet the Battle_2 As Lin Tianming and his companion, as well as He Lanjun and his two companions, arrived at their destination, both parties only paused for a moment.
Then, He Lanjun looked at his opponents and suddenly shouted,
“I have a higher cultivation than both of you. Let me remind you again, swords have no eyes—be careful, you two Daoist fellows!”
As soon as his words fell, He Lanjun hesitated no longer and the gourd in his hands suddenly flashed with light.
In an instant, the gourd began to crazily expand, quickly growing from the size of a palm to that of a human.
Simultaneously, the gourd flew into the air and the mouth of the gourd instantly spewed out a large amount of green smoke, quickly covering a vast expanse of the sky.
Seeing such changes, Lin Tianming’s expression grew solemn, knowing He Lanjun’s cultivation at the Late Stage Golden Core could make him the top person of the Qingyun Sect, surely his strength was extremely formidable.
And that gourd of his was somewhat eerie, it had to be an extraordinary magical treasure to be possessed by a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
...
Realizing this, Lin Tianming leaped forward, his agile body darting through the area covered by the smoke like lightning.
At the same time, he did not forget to warn Chen Jingtian,
“Daoist Chen, that smoke is somewhat eerie, don’t let it catch you off guard!”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Chen Jingtian had already swiftly moved dozens of yards away, temporarily avoiding the range of the smoke.
At that time, the two positioned themselves to the left and right of He Lanjun, forming a pincer attack.
Following that, the two wasted no time, their magical treasures in their hands shone brilliantly and strands of sword Qi shot out, immediately charging into the smoke.
Seeing Lin Tianming and his companion take action, the strong fluctuations swept towards them, He Lanjun appeared calm and composed, his face bearing a mysterious smile.
But in just a moment, turbulence erupted within the smoke.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming and Chen Jingtian both felt something was amiss.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that their attacks had entered the smoke, and the only reaction was a few surges within the smoke, then it returned to calm.
As for the abundant sword Qi, it vanished silently, like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.
Considering their considerable strength, even a casual attack from them would not be easily handled by a cultivator of the same rank.
Although He Lanjun was powerful, handling both of their attacks should not have been without effect.
However, the smoke spewed out by He Lanjun’s gourd was eerily unsettling, silently neutralizing the sword Qi without even touching his robe.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming and his companion had not expected it.
But reality was just that.
Hence, an undeterred Lin Tianming launched several more attacks, which instantly charged into the smoke.
Unfortunately, these attacks were just like the previous ones, without making any noise.
Seeing such an eerie smoke that could devour attacks, Lin Tianming and Chen Jingtian’s expressions became extremely grave.
At this time, seeing the grave expressions on Lin Tianming and his companion’s faces seemed somewhat unbelievable to He Lanjun.
He Lanjun laughed heartily, not surprised at all by this outcome.
In his eyes, the strength of Lin Tianming and his companion was indeed commendable; he had heard complete accounts of it from practitioners from the Qingyun Sect who had returned from attacking the Wei Kingdom.
Furthermore, Ren Feihong had witnessed it firsthand, even having sparred with them, and was shocked by their strength.
But even so, what could be done?
Their attacks couldn’t penetrate the smoke, and if it continued this way, he would simply remain undefeated.
With no worries, he only needed to attack relentlessly.
Once he defeated one of them, no matter how strong the other was, he would not be a concern at all.
Knowing this, He Lanjun wore a look of smugness, as if he had completely secured victory over the two.
Settling himself slightly, He Lanjun suddenly made a Law Decree, and bursts of spiritual light struck the gourd in front of him.
“Zoom…”
A sharp, strange sound rang out.
In an instant, the gourd again spewed out a large amount of smoke, quickly morphing into several water dragons, each flying towards both Lin Tianming and his companion.
Looking out, the water dragon appeared lifelike and imposing, as if it were a real creature.
In midair, the raging water dragon opened its massive maw, roaring thunderously.
Just as He Lanjun made his move, Lin Tianming and his companion had already quickly shifted positions.
In an instant, their nimble bodies moved like phantoms, weaving through uncovered areas with an incredible speed.
They knew staying still would only make them more passive.
After all, the eerie smoke could devour even Sword Qi and enveloped a vast area.
If their physical bodies were covered, who knew what terrifying situation would arise.
Therefore, they couldn’t afford to stop moving, constantly changing positions to avoid being trapped by the smoke.
Sure enough, the moment they dashed away, the roaring water dragon descended.
Fortunately for them, having left early, the water dragon’s massive size couldn’t quickly change direction and ultimately crashed into the ground below.
“Boom, boom…”
Loud noises resonated, accompanied by bursts of blue light cutting through the void.
Simultaneously, the giant waves created by the collision of the water dragon with the earth spread in all directions, blowing them over several times before they finally regained their footing.
Once Lin Tianming and his companion stabilized themselves, they immediately looked back at their previous location.
They saw numerous deep pits on the ground, inexplicably filled with water sources emitting steam, forming a new dense fog merging with the smoke in midair.
In no time at all, the already massive smoke grew even larger.
Seeing this change, both Lin Tianming and his companion showed shocked expressions.
It wasn’t that they weren’t calm, but rather, He Lanjun’s offensive and defensive treasure was genuinely bizarre and extremely powerful.
Offensively, the water dragon could strike targets with formidable power.
Even if it failed to hit the target, the water dragon could transform into a mist, augmenting the original vast cloud.
Defensively, the smoke was equally bizarre, effortlessly devouring spiritual entities such as Sword Qi formed by True Essence Mana.
It was clear that ordinary attacks could hardly penetrate this fog cloud, posing little threat to He Lanjun.
Under such circumstances, without a specific treasure to counteract the oppressing force of the smoke, He Lanjun was almost unbeatable.
On their part, their attacks posed no threat to He Lanjun, and they had to passively dodge his attacks.
If this situation continued, even with abundant True Essence Mana, they would likely not last long.
It could be said that if they couldn’t break the stalemate in a short time, even dragging out the battle would be difficult to achieve.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming was quite anxious, his expression more solemn than it had ever been.
Chen Jingtian looked equally troubled at that moment.
However, they had no time to catch their breath.
He Lanjun’s next wave of attacks arrived as promised, with numerous water dragons coming from various directions, blocking their paths.
Simultaneously, He Lanjun drew out his aqua-blue longsword treasure, unleashing a multitude of Sword Qi aimed directly at their heads.
“Boom, boom…”
In the blink of an eye, a deluge of attacks descended, the powerful turbulence stirring their robes.
At this moment, seeing the onslaught looming above them,
Lin Tianming and his companion’s faces turned pale.
Fortunately, both were experienced in magic duels and had considerable personal strength.
In haste, they attempted to move their bodies to avoid being caught by the attacks, fearing they would be hit directly by this terrifying assault.
In their eyes, these attacks were, after all, executed by late-stage Golden Core experts, and their power had already been proven.
Facing such a tactic, attempting to meet the attacks head-on would undoubtedly be the most foolish idea.
