Chapter 393: Chapter 256: The Might of Divine Abilities, Slaying a Late Stage
The rat-faced Cultivator didn’t even have time to react. His Heart and Spirit wavered, and he failed to activate his Magical Power Shield in time.
A crimson glint flashed across his neck with unerring precision!
A head, still wearing the rat-faced mask, shot into the air, a dazed smile lingering on its face! Blood gushed from the headless neck like a fountain!
"Brother!!!"
The Tiger-Faced Cultivator’s eyes burned with rage. He let out a cry of shock and fury; he never imagined that in a single instant, before they had even truly exchanged blows, the brother he had fought alongside for years would be so bizarrely and instantly killed!
Just then, Lin Changheng’s figure slowly emerged from behind another boulder. His expression was placid, as if he had just done something utterly insignificant. Only his eyes, cold as ice, remained locked onto the enraged Tiger-Faced Cultivator.
’First, cut off one arm. The rest will be much easier to handle.’
This place was deserted, so he could risk a confrontation. But if things got too thorny, he would flee without a second thought.
With his Earth Control Technique: Tongming enhancing his Earth Escape Demon Technique, he could come and go as he pleased, even when facing a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"Die!"
The immense Spiritual Pressure of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator erupted from the Tiger-Faced Cultivator. An earthy-yellow light burst from his body, forming a thick layer of Protective Gang Qi.
He was an Earth Cultivator.
A door-sized Ghost Head Giant Blade instantly appeared in his hand. The blade was wreathed in sinister black energy, and its Evil Qi soared to the heavens!
Judging by its power, it was clearly an Upper Grade spiritual artifact!
The Tiger-Faced Cultivator wasted no time on words and attacked at once. He swept the Ghost Head Giant Blade in a diagonal slash, sending a flash of ink-black light streaking through the air toward Lin Changheng.
A fierce wind mixed with Sword Qi rushed forward, piercingly cold. The trees and rocks in its path exploded, unable to withstand the slightest bit of its power.
"Bring it on!"
A strange light flashed in Lin Changheng’s eyes. Without dodging or evading, he slammed both hands down toward the ground.
Earth Control Technique: Tongming!
The ground in the path of the Sword Qi instantly turned to sludge, like quicksand. It then solidified into rock that shot up and clamped shut like a giant pincer, attempting to block the attack!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The series of closing rock pincers ground away at the Sword Qi. Though they shattered one by one, they rendered the Sword Qi almost completely ineffective.
By the time it reached Lin Changheng, he simply flicked his sleeve and dispersed the last of the light.
He made it look effortless, as simple as a flick of his sleeve.
"Hmph! Petty tricks!" The Tiger-Faced Cultivator sneered, the sound squeezed from deep in his throat. The earthy-yellow Spiritual Light around him intensified as he slashed three more times with his Ghost Head Giant Blade.
Three more waves of Sword Qi, each stronger than the last, shot forward!
Lin Changheng employed the same trick, once again casually forming a series of rock pincers to block the attack.
But the Tiger-Faced Cultivator’s eyes narrowed. His left hand, hidden behind his back, suddenly formed a hand seal, unleashing the Middle Tier Earth-shaking Skill.
The ground trembled violently, shattering the rock pincers. The three waves of Sword Qi easily broke through the remnants and in an instant were just ten feet from Lin Changheng.
Facing the astonishing Sword Qi, Lin Changheng remained expressionless as he opened his mouth and spat.
Red Sky Profound Flame!
Fire Manipulation Divine Abilities: True Intent!
A torrent of pure, violent, dark-gold flame transformed into a raging dragon that roared as it swept forth. It didn’t strike the Sword Qi directly, but instead slammed into the ground in front of it!
BOOM!
The flames surged, instantly forming a scorching wall of fire. The terrifyingly high temperature distorted the very air as the wall swept up the three waves of Sword Qi, stopping them in their tracks.
A series of hisses echoed as they collided. The previously astonishing Sword Qi was instantly annihilated upon contact with the wall of fire, turning into wisps of green smoke.
"You’re finished. My turn, isn’t it?"
The Tiger-Faced Cultivator was stunned by the astonishing wall of fire. At that very moment, Lin Changheng sneered inwardly and ruthlessly attacked.
"Suppress!"
He opened his palm, revealing a miniature Black Seal Platform spinning in his hand. Lin Changheng flicked it with his finger, sending it shooting out like a black pebble. It then expanded to the size of a millstone and came crashing down from above!
"Go!" Simultaneously, a Cyan Gold Flying Sword shot out of his Storage Bag like a bolt of lightning, aimed straight for his opponent’s lower body!
Attacks assailed him from above and below like a surging tide!
The Tiger-Faced Cultivator swung his blade like a spinning wheel, crisscrossing Sword Qi to counter the Black Seal Platform’s attack. At the same time, the Spiritual Light around him flared, and a thick, earthy-yellow suit of armor materialized around his body—clearly a Middle Tier Defense Technique that he had cultivated to a high level.
And that wasn’t all. A miniature Small Shield appeared and flew around his body. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! In a shower of sparks, it blocked every single one of the Cyan Gold Flying Sword’s attacks.
It was capable of autonomous, flawless defense—clearly a Tier Two Middle Grade Masterpiece Spiritual Artifact.
WHOOSH!
Unflustered, Lin Changheng took out a thick stack of Tier One Talismans from his inventory and, wrapping them in Magical Power, hurled them forward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Their techniques clashed continuously, and for a moment, they were locked in a stalemate.
The Tiger-Faced Cultivator was truly worthy of his title as a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. His Cultivation was profound, and despite facing Lin Changheng’s endless barrage of techniques, he showed no signs of defeat. On the contrary, he displayed the proficiency in Magical Combat expected of someone at his level.
He formed a hand seal with his left hand and slammed it toward the ground!
"Giant Spike Skill!"
The ground beneath Lin Changheng’s feet instantly rippled, and a dozen sharp, thick rock spikes erupted, stabbing viciously toward his vital points!
Lin Changheng’s reaction was lightning-fast. Almost at the exact moment the spell was cast, the ground beneath his feet turned as soft as cotton. His figure floated backward, using the momentum. With a single thought, half of the enemy’s Earth Spikes spun out of control, reversed direction, and shot back toward the Tiger-Faced Cultivator!
It was the Earth Control Technique again!
"What?!"
The Tiger-Faced Cultivator was stunned. He swung his giant blade to parry the incoming Earth Spikes, horrified. ’Besides Fire Techniques, this man also has a mastery of Earth Magic! And his control is so bizarre... he can actually reverse my own Magic!’
