C211 (1/2)
Above the Empyrean Terminus, everything was in chaos.
As Zhou Tong and Ling'er joined the fray, the battle once again started, and became even more chaotic than before. The Polaris Flames that filled the sky, the Sword Rain that was as dense as a locust swarm, was especially prominent in the chaotic battle circle.
”Clang!”
With both swords in hand, Zhou Tong's figure flashed towards Fan Qingjue like a ghost. Without any more entanglement, he raised his hand and used the Burning Heart Soul Refining Sword. The febrile heart disease that was originally covering both of his swords, had become gray and white Polar Star Flames after Zhou Tong absorbed a large amount of energy from the Polar Star Flame. In addition to the increase in power provided by the Scarlet Phoenix Burning Termination Formation that was multiplied by Zhou Tong, even a Emptiness Realm Expert like Fan Qingjue would find it quite difficult to defend against this sword strike!
Wherever the swords passed by, the Polaris Flames, which contained a terrifyingly high temperature, left a visible distortion in the air, as if space was about to be torn apart. Just as Fan Qingjue was about to intervene to block the attack, he immediately felt the terrifying might of the Polaris Flame and immediately gave up. With a flap of the energy wings behind his back, he quickly dodged Ling Jin's attack.
”Why are you running? ”Let's fight.” Zhou Tong smiled and teased.
”Kid, you don't have the qualifications to be arrogant in front of me!” With a loud shout, the enormous sword in Fan Qingjue's hand suddenly swung out, straight toward Zhou Tong's waist. However, it still slashed onto an afterimage with a 'chi' sound.
A sense of danger suddenly surfaced in Fan Qingjue's heart, almost instinctively he channeled his spatial energy, and suddenly appeared ten metres away. Looking at Zhou Tong descending from above, and his terrifying sword which had cracks all over the space, Fan Qingjue's palm immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
”This boy is more than twice as strong as last time!” As a Deficiency Cultivator, it was already a great shame that he had lost to the hands of a lucid state of mind cultivator. However, when this opponent once again appeared in front of him, his strength had increased to State of Clarity, but his fighting strength was frighteningly to the point that it was shocking. Even Fan Qingjue himself, felt his heart palpitate.
After failing in his first strike, Zhou Tong did not have any intention to stop, and immediately continued to rush forward.
Long before the first attack was launched, Zhou Tong's Qi had already locked onto Fan Qingjue. Although it could not be considered a type of technique, it was still a favorite method for countless sword cultivators. When the opponent dodged the attack, the Qi lock would pull the attacker to continue their chase, and with this, continuous suppression would occur.
However, this move, in front of the Deficiency Cultivator, seemed to be completely insignificant …
Zhou Tong's continuous attacks continued to oppress Fan Qingjue's body. Although it was due to the great disparity in cultivation, Fan Qingjue had experienced Zhou Tong's terrifying explosive strength, and he did not dare fight against Zhou Tong directly, but rather, he relied on his rich experience and the agility and nimbleness of his spatial energy.
”Boom!”
Under this loud sound, the weapons of the two fiercely collided with each other and the Polaris Flame and Fan Qingjue's dark blue water attributed energy clashed, instantly causing a large amount of water vapor to rise. Under this attack, Zhou Tong unexpectedly held the absolute advantage, and following the explosive power of the Burning Heart Soul Refining Sword and the Polaris Flame, Fan Qingjue's figure was forcibly sent flying!
Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Tong would naturally not miss it, he immediately used both his swords to catch up and struck his face off against another sword. Before Fan Qingjue could even steady himself, he was already caught up by Zhou Tong. In desperation, he could only control the huge sword in his hand to block, and then, another intense explosion sounded as Fan Qingjue's force was sent flying once again.
However, this time, Zhou Tong did not have such a good chance to chase after him. That Fan Qingjue was indeed worthy of being a Void Initiation Stage expert, he had rich combat experience, and after taking on Zhou Tong's sword, he immediately figured out a way. After the second time of resisting, he did not use any strength, and only protected his body behind the huge sword to avoid getting hurt, and borrowed the recoil from the explosion to retreat, and relied on the energy wings behind him to quickly stabilize himself.
”A good old thief, you're really quite experienced.” Zhou Tong looked at Fan Qingjue with a somewhat playful smile, ”Why aren't you using the power of space?”
Hearing Zhou Tong's ridicule, Fan Qingjue's expression suddenly changed.
Of course, Fan Qingjue wanted to use the power of space. Zhou Tong's explosive strength was not one bit inferior to his own Domain of Power, adding the terrifying Polaris Flame, even if it was Fan Qingjue, he was more or less unwilling to receive Zhou Tong's attack head on. However, for some reason, the space in his surroundings had undergone subtle changes between the two of them, to the point where Fan Qingjue was unable to even use the power of space.
If one were to talk about specifics, it seemed that the space had become a lot more viscous.
”Stinking brat, what kind of trick did you pull?” With a gloomy face, he looked at Zhou Tong, who seemed to be about to spew fire from his eyes. For a dignified Emptiness Realm Expert to be suppressed by a State of Clarity cultivator to the point where he couldn't even use the power of space, what kind of humiliation was this?
