NOVPUBChapter 961: Chapter 510 Flaw Chapter 961: Chapter 510 Flaw As Sword Qi tore through the void in the sky, the Water Dragon had also burst forth, drawing ever closer to Lin Tianming and his companion.
At this moment, Lin Tianming moved like a swift swallow, swiftly shifting a hundred yards away.
And with the aid of the Eye of Five Colors, he had finally managed to pass through the converging mist without too much danger, avoiding being encircled.
Once he steadied his stance, he turned to direct his gaze towards Chen Jingtian.
In his eyes, with the aid of the Eye of Five Colors, the probability of getting ensnared by the mist wasn’t high.
But that wasn’t necessarily the case for Chen Jingtian!
Although Chen’s personal strength was indeed strong, making him a standout among his peers,
The mist was too strange, coupled with a blitz of attacks from Late Stage Golden Core expert He Lanjun aiming to encircle and block.
...
Under such conditions, it wasn’t easy for Chen Jingtian to cope.
Sure enough, following a muffled sound, Lin Tianming’s prediction came true.
He saw nothing but Sword Qi descend, along with several Water Dragons that instantly engulfed Chen Jingtian.
At that moment, the space around Chen was enveloped in mist, and only occasional glints of sword light could be seen flashing.
Following several muffled sounds, there came Chen Jingtian’s pained voice.
Meanwhile, Lu Xingfeng, who was watching the battle from the periphery, saw Chen Jingtian shrouded in smoke and abruptly his expression changed.
He leaned out, the Magical Treasure in his hand ready, as if preparing to intervene to stop it.
Seeing this, Feng Changgong and Wang Huashan also stepped forward, their Magical Treasures flashing with light.
However, they dared not act rashly for fear of provoking a greater dispute.
Thus, Feng Changgong called out from across the space, “He and the others are merely exchanging pointers. I advise fellow Daoists not to interfere; otherwise, Wang Daoist friend and I won’t sit idly by.”
Hearing these threatening words, Lu Xingfeng’s face darkened, but considering the current situation, they had no advantage and initiating conflict would only put them at a loss.
Having no choice, Lu Xingfeng and Zhou Yunxiao stopped advancing.
This included both Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai, who at this time were also very concerned for Lin Tianming’s safety.
In their eyes, the stakes of the competition paled in comparison to Lin Tianming’s well-being.
Up till now, He Lanjun had demonstrated his strength, along with his mysterious Magical Treasure and his methods, proving to be a formidable opponent.
Facing such an expert, Lin Tianming, who had just entered the Golden Core Stage and was only at Early Stage Golden Core, was at a significant disadvantage compared to the long-renowned He Lanjun, who had been a dominant force in Huangyang Kingdom for over two hundred years.
Despite his formidable personal strength, which not even Medium Stage Golden Core Chen Jingtian could confidently claim to outmatch,
The gap with He Lanjun, who had both time and location in his favor, was starkly evident.
Realizing this, Lin Shikang and the others were very helpless, their faces unable to hide the urgency.
As muffled sounds emanated from Chen Jingtian’s direction, Lin Shikang and the others became even more anxious.
They strained to extend their Divine Sense, trying to discern Chen Jingtian’s situation.
Unfortunately, the peculiar smoke blocked even their Golden Core stage Divine Sense.
Unable to perceive any response, their frustration and anger further intensified.
At this time, Lin Tianming was also in a state of panic.
Lin Shikang and the others, including Late Stage Golden Core cultivators Lu Xingfeng and Zhou Yunxiao, were unable to see what Chen Jingtian had gone through.
With the assistance of the Eye of Five Colors, though his Divine Sense was likewise affected, he had witnessed Chen Jingtian’s recent ordeal.
In his vision, Chen Jingtian had been moving his body quickly as well, trying to avoid being enveloped by the thick mist and not seeking to confront He Lanjun’s attacks head-on.
However, the density of the attacks at that time was too high, and their speed incredibly fast, leaving hardly any time to react.
Faced with such a level of onslaught, Chen Jingtian managed to pass through a gap, hurling himself to a temporarily safe position.
But before he could even catch his breath, the layers of mist surged again, attempting to trap him within.
In desperation, Chen Jingtian contorted his body into an odd posture, forcing his way out through another spot to avoid being covered by the mist.
If that were to happen, his situation would only worsen further, not to mention winning the duel; he might even lose his life there.
Realizing this, Chen made another swift turn, shaping his body into an unwieldy posture to flee forcibly.
Unfortunately, he was still half a step too slow.
Just as he was about to break through an opening, the mist had already fully closed in.
Instantly, he was enshrouded by the smoke, with no escape routes whatsoever.
Yet, it wasn’t the mist itself that was the deadliest.
At this moment, he felt as if submerged in water, with immense pressure surrounding him, severely slowing down his movements, making each step incredibly difficult.
Furthermore, abundant Sword Qi continued to emerge from the midst of the smoke, heading straight for his head.
Seeing the Sword Qi encroaching, his movement drastically slowed, and his True Essence Mana consumption increased several-fold compared to normal times.
At this point, he finally understood the terror of the mist—not only could it entrap an enemy, but it also slowed them down while greatly increasing their Mana consumption.
It was such an ability that one would expect from a Late Stage Golden Core expert like He Lanjun.
Right then, Chen had no time for further thought or contemplation.
For him, the priority was figuring out how to survive in this dire situation.
