Chapter 157 - A Formidable Opponen (1/2)

t

After a vigorous shake of his head, Tang Wulin realized how shocking his opponent was. They both had one ring. They both only had one ring! Yet, her combat prowess was so great!

He couldn't let himself be shaken though. Taking a moment to compose himself, Tang Wulin waved his arms in flurry, sending Bluesilver Gra.s.s shooting toward the black cauldron. For now, he wanted to try binding his opponent's martial soul.

Falling short of his expectations, the girl didn't mind her martial soul at all. Instead, she chose to accelerate her charge at Tang Wulin.

She wants to fight me in close quarters?

Tang Wulin sucked in a deep breath as a wave of golden scales covered his right arm. He stood there, as steady as a mountain. He could tell from their previous exchange that her attack possessed tremendous power. Other than attacking with her soul power, she also seemed to have other tricks up her sleeve. Since Tang Wulin couldn't beat her in speed, he chose to steady his person and meet her head on.

A subset of the Bluesilver Gra.s.s Tang Wulin had shot out split apart and returned to him, a.s.sembling protectively around his body.

The girl's figure flickered again and then disappeared without a trace. This time, however, when she reappeared, she was everywhere around him. The only thing Tang Wulin could do to resist was to lash out with the few strands of Bluesilver Gra.s.s he had, trying to stop her.

Suddenly, a phoenix's cry pierced the air.

A flute had appeared in the girl's hands all of a sudden. The moment the harsh note attacked Tang Wulin's ears, he felt as if his entire world had slowed down, which was clear from the sluggishness of his Bluesilver Gra.s.s. In his sluggish state, the cauldron was easily able to escape the entrapment of the gra.s.s as it soared high into the sky before cras.h.i.+ng into Tang Wulin.

Bang!

Tang Wulin was felt a jolt which was promptly followed by numbness. He had been sent flying with greater force than before. Meanwhile, the girl had pulled apart his Bluesilver Gra.s.s defense using her jade-like hands. His defenses having been broken, the girl reached Tang Wulin in a flash before moving to attack his stomach, this time using both hands.

I'm finished!

Despite the intense threat he felt from the girl in that instant, only one thought occupied his mind. Twin martial souls. This girl has twin martial souls!

And she can even use them both at the same time! She doesn't need to switch between them at all!

The moment her white-jade-like hands landed on his body, Tang Wulin trembled as a bizarre power rushed into him, was.h.i.+ng away his numbness.

Tang Wulin only had enough time to sweep his right arm out in front of him.

Bang!

A bone-breaking force met his right arm, leaving it in tatters. It rebounded back into his chest, pus.h.i.+ng him back even further.

This time, however, he didn't fly too far back. As he crashed into the cauldron which was right behind him, darkness filled his eyes. Drawing strength from who knows where, the girl continued to chase after Tang Wulin. She struck out with her right hand which possessed some sort of attractive force, sending Tang Wuling flying back towards her, while her left hand curled into a fist as she punched towards his chest.

Although his right arm was in acute pain and Tang Wulin was being continuously beaten, this had actually roused his blood.

He let out a deep roar as his right hand transformed into the Golden Dragon Claw in a splendid burst of light. Meanwhile, he lashed out with a vine of Bluesilver Gra.s.s that Goldlight had slithered into.

This strand of golden Bluesilver Gra.s.s was just like a spear as it pierced into the ground. Using all the strength his body could muster, Tang Wulin suddenly changed directions and barely evaded the girl's palm attack.

Taking advantage of the attractive force of the girl's attack, he rushed toward her and soared over her head, taking this chance to grab her head with his Golden Dragon Claw.

This had been the first time since the start of the battle that he could launch a counterattack.

Another note of a phoenix's cry rang out. Tang Wulin immediately froze in place while a wave of dizziness a.s.saulted his senses.

As the girl descended from the air, she pointed one finger at Tang Wulin, commanding the black cauldron to smash him.

Tang Wulin forced his Golden Dragon Claw to move, brazenly smacking it into the black cauldron.

Bang!

The black cauldron was smashed into pieces, completely falling apart. The girl's body was still swaying from the rebound when Tang Wulin descended.

At that moment, Tang Wulin had figured her out. As he withdrew his Golden Dragon Claw after smas.h.i.+ng apart her cauldron, a strand of golden Bluesilver Gra.s.s shot out from the ground, propelling him forward and into the air like a bullet.

Haven't thirty seconds pa.s.sed yet? They should almost have.

The girl stared at him blankly for a moment. She charged forward in pursuit once again, but when she arrived before the golden Bluesilver Gra.s.s, she hesitated for a moment.
