Chapter 2675: Chapter 868
Outside the Red Peak Mountain Range.
Lu Lingxiao donned pure gold armor, holding a small golden tree burning with red flames, his entire being surged with qi-blood magical power, sweeping towards the black-robed figure ahead.
In an instant, the intense red flames spread across the sky, resembling a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird soaring, turning the void into a twisted vortex.
After the previous encounters, Shadow Hunter already knew that this Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City practiced Magical Dual Cultivation, with amazing miraculous divine ability treasures. To capture him alive, he should avoid a direct confrontation and simply wear him down for a while.
After all, no matter how monstrous the opponent was, he was merely an early-stage Core Formation cultivator; his mana was incomparable to him, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
His legs propelled like the wind, body ghostly, with a "whoosh," avoiding Lu Lingxiao’s strike, then transformed into a void shadow, disappearing from sight.
Lu Lingxiao’s golden eyes gleamed like a deity, erupting with brilliant light, locking onto Shadow Hunter’s qi mechanism, the Heavenly Peng Wings extending behind him, carrying golden red flames, continuing to charge at the opponent.
Early-stage Core Formation battling late-stage Core Formation was not due to his absolute confidence in his strength.
Rather, it was forced by helplessness.
Shadow Hunter before him was skilled in tracking secret techniques.
He had tried escaping several times, only to be inexplicably found by the opponent.
If he continued fleeing, once his mana and stamina were exhausted, he would be left with no path but death.
So he could only fight with all his might, heavily injuring or even slaying the other.
Though difficult.
It was not without chance.
This person’s divine power techniques excelled at assassination, stealth, concealment, and escape skills, just happened to be countered by his divine skills.
In a direct confrontation, he could barely resist the opponent.
The most crucial thing was, he still had two third rank top-level talismans at hand. As long as he found the opportunity, he could heavily injure or even annihilate the opponent!
Seeing Lu Lingxiao perceive his Shadow Divine Power, charging aggressively, Shadow Hunter realized the opponent might be born with divine eyes, having cultivated pupil skills to a shocking level.
Otherwise, an early-stage Core Formation cultivator would never easily perceive his Shadow Divine Power.
"Hum, the more secrets you have, the greater my rewards will be later!"
Shadow Hunter’s late-stage Core Formation surging mana, cradling a Heart Protecting Mirror before him, bracing for Lu Lingxiao’s attack.
However, hastily, the Heart Protecting Mirror, a middle grade spiritual treasure, facing Lu Lingxiao’s full strike, shuddered violently, its spiritual light dimming rapidly.
Shadow Hunter fired several Shadow Needles, then retreated swiftly, avoiding direct combat with Lu Lingxiao.
"Kill!"
Lu Lingxiao’s momentum surged, relying on the armor on him, ignoring the incoming Shadow Needles, fully activating "True Spirit Nine Transformations," and pushing the divine skills acquired from "Heavenly Peng Transformation," Heavenly Peng Wings, to the limit.
If not for Heavenly Peng Wings, his speed wouldn’t have caught up with Shadow Hunter.
However, the cost was that the Heavenly Peng Wings consumed too much mana and qi-blood, imposing a burden on his body, and he couldn’t sustain it for long.
After this battle, he must rest for a long time.
Seeing Lu Lingxiao relying on miraculous divine ability treasures, constantly charging, unavoidable, Shadow Hunter’s eyes flashed with cold and fierce light.
When sacrificing the Heart Protecting Mirror, he unleashed his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [Shadow Blade], gathering endless killing intent, seemingly wanting to take Lu Lingxiao’s life.
"It’s now!"
Lu Lingxiao saw this, knowing his opportunity had arrived.
Facing Shadow Hunter’s offensive, he did not dodge, seeming to seek mutual destruction with the opponent.
"Boom!!!" The Golden Fire Vine Tree slammed hard on the Heart Protecting Mirror, immeasurable red flames swept out, burning and tearing the surrounding hundred-zhang forest, directly engulfing Shadow Hunter.
However, Shadow Hunter’s Shadow Blade also instantly pierced through his red flames, Body-Protecting Magic Barrier, aiming to penetrate his throat.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Lingxiao activated the only remaining third rank top-level Defense Talisman, then used the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique without regard for the cost.
Son of Heaven Qi Observation, kills with a laugh!
Core Formation Third Layer cultivation level, wanting to use divine skills to interfere and affect a late-stage Core Formation Great Cultivator’s mana manipulation, this was very difficult.
But, this was his only chance!
Lu Lingxiao’s momentum suddenly surged, as if embracing the sun, moon, and heavens, like an ancient Son of Heaven, the golden luster in his eyes shimmering spectacularly and intensely, almost substantial, falling on Shadow Hunter.
"What technique is this!?"
Shadow Hunter suddenly felt his mana stagnate, terrified in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Lu Lingxiao not only practiced Magical Dual Cultivation, possessed top-level pupil skills capable of discerning his Shadow Divine Power.
But also wielded means to interfere with his mana!
Know that, in cultivator’s combat at the same level, victory or defeat is decided in an instant.
"Boom!"
His Heart Protecting Mirror’s spiritual light abruptly dimmed, smashed open by the terrifying power of the Golden Fire Vine Tree.
Next, endless red flames enveloped his figure.
However, as a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, how could he be so easily defeated?
The late-stage Core Formation mana surged like a torrent, forming layers of dark light around him, breaking through the endless red flames, like a shadow, slashing towards Lu Lingxiao, seeking to give him a painful lesson.
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes sparkled, activating the last third rank top-level talisman from his bosom.
"Fire Dragon Sky Burning Talisman!"
In an instant, the talisman emitted intense mana fluctuations, transforming into an infinite sea of flames.
Then it coalesced into a flame dragon dozens of zhang long, roaring towards Shadow Hunter.
"What I loathe is you privileged-born people!"
Shadow Hunter bellowed in frustration, utterly exasperated, deeply loathing the offspring of such great cultivators like Lu Lingxiao.
An early-stage Core Formation cultivator not only possessed middle grade magical treasure weapons and armor, but also held several third rank top-level talismans.
Know that, even as a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, he didn’t have many third rank top-level talismans on hand.
