Chapter 671: Green Fog (2/2)

Without its speed, the Pinwheel Sword was about as useful as a tiger without fangs. All it could do was wait to be trampled by others.

Rumble, rumble!

The ground shook. Shan Minxiong could tell without looking that two teams of fully equipped bluster mysterious tigers were on the attack. He felt comforted that the ground troops were reacting well to the situation, counter-attacking at the first possible opportunity.

Close range assaults were the bluster mysterious tigers' expertise.

An impressive burst of force propelled their lumbering bodies forward at a swift speed. The bluster mysterious tigers accelerated to their top speed in the blink of an eye. Their full set of armor would allow them to withstand the enemy's attacks and decimate everything standing before them.

Like a warhammer dragged straight out of hell, their only mission was to lay waste to everything.

His spirits lifted, Shan Minxiong brimmed with expectation.

A different scene was playing out on board the Pinwheel Sword.

Gu Xuan and the rest were trying hard to find stable footing. All color had been drained from their faces, and the tremendous impact force had rendered them powerless. They had flown on the Pinwheel Sword many times before, but this was the first time they had experienced such a nightmarish ride.

This was not an offensive strike, this was practically suicide!

It was a miracle that the Pinwheel Sword did not fall apart.

Huo Da was sweating buckets as he anxiously tried to get out of this rut.

The Pinwheel Sword had gone completely through the soil layer and struck the rock stratum beneath. The tip of the Pinwheel Sword was now trapped by rocks. To make things worse, the materials used to construct the Pinwheel Sword were not particularly amazing. The impact from that strike had caused damage to various parts of it.

The fear-inducing rumble was rapidly getting closer to them. Huo Da's stress was also swiftly building up while he concentrated on utilizing his elemental energy.

A sharp noise filled the air as the five elements swirled around the pinwheel. The pinwheel at the rear of the sword began to spin wildly, causing the entire Pinwheel Sword to shudder violently.

Ending up in such a state left Huo Da feeling like he had failed as a Master.

Duanmu Huanghun shot a glance at Huo Da and snorted, ”There's still time.”

Opening his palm, he produced a small twining branch that glowed a faint green. He squatted down and placed it on the floor.

Thinking about his escaped prey made him condescendingly snort once more. That guy who was decked out in high-ranking gear had reacted quickly enough to avoid him.

The green glow beneath his feet grew brighter, partially engulfing Duanmu Huanghun. His handsome face was frozen in a solemn expression within the light, making him look like a deity who had descended from heaven.

Shan Minxiong witnessed the amazing scene that followed.

The twining branches of Duanmu Huanghun's [Viridescent Flower] swiftly covered every inch of the Pinwheel Sword and continue growing outward to fill the entire crater. The speed at which this occurred was oddly reminiscent of cotton candy expanding.

Countless green vines then sprang outward from the crater, spreading relentlessly like a green flood.

The green vines moved with the ferocity of an escaped green beast that had been trapped since time immemorial.

As the earth groaned beneath the magnitude of what was happening above it, the two teams of bluster mysterious tigers rammed into the relentless green vines from different directions.

Roar!

A series of explosions ensued. In the face of the bluster mysterious tigers, the green vines that had burst forth with the magnitude of a hundred waterfalls collapsed like fragile bubbles. The armored riders astride the bluster mysterious tigers brandished their heavy weapons to face the green vines. Some of them wielded warhammers while others carried polearms, heavy maces, and other equally large weapons. The riders' weapons and armor were shrouded with a black flame that, upon closer inspection, had a blood red core.

Upon contact with the black flame, Duanmu Huanghun's green vines were burned to a crisp, releasing wisps of green smoke.

The morale of the blood elementalists soared. They were confident in shredding their enemies as long as they could reach the Pinwheel Sword.

Practically unstoppable, the teams charged forward!

Soon, they realized that something was fishy.

How was it possible that they were still nowhere near the Pinwheel Sword?

The Pinwheel Sword had only been about 100 yards away. For them, they could easily close this distance in a single breath. They had charged forward for more than 10 breaths, yet they had not reached the Pinwheel Sword.

Everyone's facial expression changed slightly. They ordered their growling bluster mysterious tigers to halt as they discovered something wasn'

An enormous wall of green vines stood tall before their eyes, while an endless green fog surrounded them. The green fog was wispy and rarefied, yet they could not see anything beyond three yards.

It was a trap!

The riders were at a loss about what to do.

Gu Xuan looked out from within the Pinwheel Sword and was astonished by what he saw.

Right after they charged into the green mist, the two teams of bluster mysterious tigers started to deviate from their original trajectory and started to circle the Pinwheel Sword. Seeing them run around obliviously in circles was both comedic and strangely odd.

”What technique is this? It's amazing!” Gu Xuan muttered to himself in a daze. He suddenly realized that it looked a little familiar. ”This kind of looks like the blood mist from before.”

Surprised by his observation, Duanmu Huanghun shot Gu Xuan a brief look.

The creation of this skill was indeed inspired by the [Smoke Flower Lock].

Duanmu Huanghun pondered over the [Smoke Flower Lock] while idling around for the past two days. He found it rather interesting and started to implement some of his own ideas on it. With that, the [Viridescent Flower, Obfuscating Fog] technique was created.

His lower jaw twitched as he let out a condescending snort.

None of you know anything about the power of a genius.

”It's done!” Huo Da cheered excitedly as the Pinwheel Sword finally struggled free of its fetters and soared into the sky.

Duanmu Huanghun looked away indifferently after seeing the ground and the blood elementalists rapidly shrink from the corner of his eye. He lithely leapt onto a swaying vine amid the adulatory looks from the others, calmly closing his eyes to rest.

It was not long before his eyes abruptly snapped open, and he surged to his feet. Turning his head to the left, Duanmu Huanghun saw something that left him aghast.
