Chapter 2205 - Rampage of the Little Fish
All of those hard-hitting moves were paired with Tianming"s Grand-Orient Sword and Fiendsky Arm. His white hair fluttered about as Feiling flew around like a fairy, weaving around as she pleased. All of it made for quite a mighty picture.
The others, having seen the sheer number of tricks at their disposal, considered Lin Feng, his wife, and his concubines to be rather complex fighters. They didn"t seem to be any kind of genius, especially their aura. Putting their levels aside, even Lin Xiuzhu looked like the kid next door, while Tianming"s white hair, black arm, and heterochromic black and gold eyes gave him an imperial air. The split Grand-Orient Sword was ready in each of his hands.
The prime wonder that hadn"t shown up for a long time finally made its return, rising up into the sky. The nine-storied tower stood tall above him, glowing with brilliance. Apart from the perceived advanced age and lower cultivation level, what exactly did Tianming lack? Many people within the second branch really couldn"t accept the dissonance. Even though they were shocked, they couldn"t bring themselves to accept it deep down, so they kept reminding themselves of Tianming"s level, given his a.s.sumed age, to reinforce their belief that Lin Xiuzhu should be the one to carry the hopes of their branch.
"Xiuzhu, begin!" Lin Bei"s strict voice rang from outside the arena.
"Got it." An ominous feeling was starting to make Lin Xiuzhu uncomfortable. "You guys should go first. Pay attention to that divine wonder. The other stuff seems like paper tigers and isn’t good for anything but theatrics. They aren"t backed up with actual power and are nothing but party tricks."
"Alright!"
"As for us seventh levels, we"ll focus on pulling him down a notch by getting rid of the flashy displays. That way Xiuzhu can play with them as he pleases."
"Sounds good."
The difference between their levels was far too broad. Even when faced with the Grand Dao Thousand Words, many of them chose to not fight with all they had. Five "youths" around the age of two hundred charged toward the fortress with peak grade-nine divine artifacts and their lifebound beasts summoned. The beasts didn"t use their swordbeast form and fought outside with their physical bodies and abilities, focusing on the Grand Dao Thousand Words. The five of them had twenty beasts in total, most of them myriadstar beasts. "Crush those stone slabs!"
The moment they entered the range of Perpetia City, a colorful lightning arrow shot out from behind Tianming, almost instantly piercing a lightning-bird lifebound beast after being accelerated by Perpetia"s effects. The sheer force behind the shot caused many to draw sharp breaths! They turned around and saw Lin Xiaoxiao, the one they knew as Lin Feng"s concubine. Even Tianming was shocked by what he saw.
"Wu You"s ability was infused into the shot...."
Xiaoxiao hid herself from the embarra.s.sment, but Tianming smiled. Even the weakest among them was a hidden trump card, so what was there to fear about this fight? The five opponents hadn’t believed their beasts could be shot through by another beastmaster in their twenties and the looks on their faces immediately changed. They exchanged glances, but kept charging toward Perpetia City despite experiencing its weird effects! "If we let some babies younger than thirty defeat us, we"ll no longer have any future!"
The enemy forces kept bearing down on them. "Little Fish, don"t hold back!"
"Okay!" The black stone slabs from before fused together, blocking most of the enemy’s abilities and giving the false impression that they were merely used as s.h.i.+elds. The moment the enemies charged in front of Tianming, the stone slabs began shaking as the power of the divine wonders awoke like a slumbering beast of yore, moving so fast that they began to blur, enhanced by Perpetia"s effects. Then they relentlessly rained down on the five beastmasters!
n.o.body had expected the slabs would be so tough and powerful. Even if some of them shattered after colliding with the enemy lifebound beasts, many more kept slamming into their gigantic forms, drawing blood and shattering skulls! No matter the toughness of their armored hides, they were beaten up so badly that they could do nothing but shriek. The black stone slabs alone were enough to send the twenty lifebound beasts running off, badly battered. Such was the power of the genesis ancestral nova source.
The audience had expected to see a bloodbath, but they got what they expected on the wrong side! Not a single one of the twenty lifebound beasts was unharmed, and the one that had it the worst had its head battered so badly that it fell into the sea within the formation. Its cries were drowned out by the raging waters and its fate was unknown.
As for the beastmasters themselves, they were more agile, thanks to their smaller bodies, and weren"t all that affected by the stone slabs. But right as they attempted to save their lifebound beasts, their way was blocked by stone slabs and spatial walls. Tianming didn"t even notice that they were trapped until later.
During the chaos, a disciple called Lin Zhongyu got shot in the chest by Xiaoxiao. The seventh-level stellaminor wasn"t able to endure the arrow that had been infused with the Archaionfiend"s ability and his chest exploded. Completely pale and drained, he shrieked as he was sent flying to land beside Lin Xiuzhu.
The other four didn"t fare any better. Tianming didn"t give them room to breathe, charging right in alongside Ying Huo and Meow Meow. As for the lifebound beasts that fell into the sea, they were set upon by Yin Chen, Lan Huang, and Xian Xian.
Tianming used Mirage Starslaughter! The two strikes blended together with the power of the Flint Infernal Impulse and the Fiendsky Arm, shooting toward Lin Yongning, who was completely held down by the stone slabs. There was nothing he could do to resist Tianming"s explosive attack! He was barely able to block Mirage, only for Starslaughter to pierce his chest. Right after that, Tianming"s sword took off his arm and he gave him a furious kick, sending him flying so far that he slammed into the inner wall of the Infinitum Bodhimanda. The poor, disabled man slumped to the ground like a bloodied ragdoll.
Feiling knew that she wasn"t too capable in a direct fight, so she focused on supporting Tianming and constantly hampering the efforts of their enemies. She had played a huge part in Lin Yongning"s defeat.
And that was just the start. With Lin Zhongyu and Lin Yongning out for the count with the twenty lifebound beasts, cries of shock could be heard from all over.
"Quick, turn them into swordbeasts!"
"The rest of you, stop idling and join the fight!"
