If this continues, he might truly lose the duel.
Thinking of his situation, He Lanjun became somewhat agitated.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually becoming anxious inside.
At this point, Lin Tianming and Chen Jingtian also understood the current situation, and they were well aware that facing a strong opponent like He Lanjun, they couldn’t afford to be careless.
As He Lanjun took the lead in attacking, he also launched his attack without any reservations.
In an instant, He Lanjun spat out a mouthful of essence blood accurately onto the Gourd Treasure in front of him.
In a moment, the surface of the gourd shone brightly, and a large cloud of smoke billowed out of the mouth of the gourd, quickly surrounding Lin Tianming and Chen Jingtian.
...
Watching the thicker smoke, He Lanjun also revealed a reluctant expression.
Others might not be aware of his Treasure or understand the origin and value of this smoke.
But he knew very well that the smoke was extremely difficult to condense, formed by refining with the precious Third Order Spiritual Crystal and expending a great deal of energy.
To accumulate the smoke in the gourd, he hadn’t cultivated much in almost a hundred years, nor had he used this Treasure extensively.
One could say, for this dual-purpose Gourd Treasure, he had paid a great price and had only with difficulty accumulated such a quantity and purity of smoke.
Now, in order to win the duel, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to exert his full power.
At this time, seeing the dense smoke converging and doubling in volume compared to the beginning,
Lin Tianming was still okay, after all, possessing the Blue Heart True Flame’s destructive power, self-preservation wasn’t too difficult.
But Chen Jingtian was very aware of the terrifying nature of the smoke, his face changed instantly, showing a look of facing a great enemy.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming didn’t dare to delay.
He leaped, rushing towards Chen Jingtian, planning to first use the power of the Blue Heart True Flame to alleviate Chen Jingtian’s pressure.
As for counterattacking, they would take it one step at a time.
If they couldn’t organize an effective attack, they at least needed to delay enough.
Now clear in his purpose, Lin Tianming also frantically circulated his True Essence Mana, while activating the Tiangang Ninth Sword, a large number of fireballs made of Blue Heart True Flame frequently exploded in the airspace above them.
Instantly, the high temperature produced by the explosions of the Blue Heart True Flame evaporated a large amount of smoke, carving out a safe area for them both.
At the same time, Chen Jingtian and Lin Tianming joined forces, launching numerous attacks toward He Lanjun.
With the path cleared by the Blue Heart True Flame, their attacks successfully passed through the smoke, causing great pressure on He Lanjun.
At this time, seeing that the explosions of the Blue Heart True Flame had significantly consumed the smoke, He Lanjun was both shocked and furious, and he was extremely distressed.
In his eyes, if this continued, even if he won the duel in the end, the smoke he had painstakingly condensed would suffer heavy losses.
Truly, if that happened, he would still be a loser in the end.
After all, condensing the smoke was not easy; the cost was great, and replenishing it would not be an easy task.
On the other hand, the situation was completely different for Lin Tianming.
Because although the Blue Heart True Flame also consumed a lot, the flame had been refined by him and possessed a complete Fire Seed.
Given some time, the Blue Heart True Flame could naturally recover to its peak condition.
Additionally, with time, the Blue Heart True Flame’s fire would increase and its power grow as well.
The Blue Heart True Flame Seed, which Lin Tianming hadn’t used for a quite long period, had an extremely abundant storage of flame.
Under such conditions, he could use it without any reservations, undergoing a large-scale expenditure battle with He Lanjun.
Precisely because of understanding this, Lin Tianming had no intention of holding back.
With his extensive use of the Blue Heart True Flame, a significant portion, more than 20%, of He Lanjun’s batch of smoke quickly evaporated. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Seeing the prolonged attack failing and the smoke loss so significant, He Lanjun’s heart bled.
However, he had no time to feel the pain, as the time of one incense stick was almost up.
If he couldn’t break the deadlock within this period, it would mean the duel ended and the Three Sects of Wei Kingdom had completely failed.
At this time, He Lanjun was furious and couldn’t afford to cherish his Treasure.
He controlled the gourd to spew out smoke, surrounding Lin Tianming and the others.
“`
At the same time, He Lanjun leaped forward, heading towards Lin Tianming and his companion.
While still in midair, he frequently swung his longsword, unleashing a barrage of Sword Qi toward Lin Tianming and his companion.
At this moment, seeing He Lanjun change his attack pattern, Lin Tianming’s expression became solemn.
He knew that He Lanjun was going all out, attempting to defeat them within a limited amount of time.
However, in his heart, He Lanjun’s change was also a potential opportunity to break the situation.
His ambition was not small, not only to delay until the end of a stick of incense to win the battle.
If conditions allowed, he even wanted to defeat He Lanjun head-on.
Though doing so seemed overly ostentatious.
After all, “A tall tree catches the wind!”
Being too ostentatious in the Cultivation World wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
But Lin Tianming wanted to defeat He Lanjun head-on, and he had his profound reasons.
The reason for this was that the Qingyun Sect was considered a neighbor of the Lin Family and had formidable strength, at least stronger than the current Lin Family.
In his view, too many formidable enemies surrounded the Lin Family, posing potential threats.
Especially since the two forces had accumulated some enmity during the Three Sects’ battle in the Wei Kingdom.
Although on the surface, the major forces had made clear statements that the countries would not interfere with each other after this duel.
But in the Cultivation World, verbal promises held little binding power, and oftentimes even the Golden Elixir Forces would go back on their word for profit.
Therefore, for the long-term peace of the Lin Family, it was necessary to demonstrate some strength to deter the Qingyun Sect and even the allied forces of the Wei Kingdom.
When he traveled to other countries in the future, the Lin Family wouldn’t become a target for other forces.
With this in mind, his goal was very clear and firm; he was fully determined to defeat He Lanjun.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming communicated telepathically with Chen Jingtian, asking him to coordinate and resist He Lanjun’s attacks together.
Chen Jingtian, experienced in magical duels and well aware of Lin Tianming’s strength, had fought alongside him multiple times, making them quite familiar with each other’s tactics and attack patterns.
Under these circumstances, their cooperation was quite tacit.
Lin Tianming used the Blue Heart True Flame to create enough space for Chen Jingtian to move and opened a pathway for attack.
Chen Jingtian seized the moment and unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks to share the pressure with Lin Tianming.
At this critical moment, Lin Tianming also went all out; the Qinghong Sword continuously thrust forward, colliding head-on with He Lanjun’s Sword Qi.
“Boom… ”
Clearly, the Qinghong Sword was deflected and caught again by Lin Tianming.
While most of He Lanjun’s Sword Qi attack was also dispersed, the remaining traces of Sword Qi were jointly resisted by Lin Tianming and his companion, which they managed to handle.
Seeing his attacks fail again, He Lanjun’s face darkened, and his heart grew anxious.
As the brief interlude ended, He Lanjun continued his fierce attacks.
Meanwhile, he had advanced multiple times, closing the distance between him and Lin Tianming and his companion.
Now, as the distance between them had decreased, the frequency of the attacks increased, giving Lin Tianming even less time to react.
By this time, He Lanjun had taken out all his tricks; the tremendous power of his Late Stage Golden Core was unquestionably evident.
With one strike, He Lanjun took the opportunity to advance a certain distance.
Seeing that they were only a hundred zhang apart, He Lanjun concentrated intensely, suddenly forming a Law Decree with his hands, and several beams of Spiritual Light bombarded the longsword in front of him.
Instantaneously, his Treasure Sword flickered with light, transforming into a Frost Dragon.
As soon as the Frost Dragon appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted rapidly, and the water vapor in the air recondensed, forming ice spires that fell to the ground, making crisp noises.
“Frost Sword Spirit Slash!”
As He Lanjun shouted, the Frost Dragon roared skyward and then charged directly at Lin Tianming.
