160 Lord of fire and ice. (1/2)
Li Yang's gaze swept over the 15 solid humanoid shapes that were rushing past the remaining 21 000 Deathcloud Warriors, grass and flowers actually blooming in their steps. Li Yang's left hand, which was still outstretched with his cupped hand facing downward, slowly opened as the Deathcloud Warriors arrived within a kilometer of him.
The frozen chrysanthemum with the burning center trembled fiercely as his hand opened, exploding out into several hundred smaller orbs that rained down on the earth. The weaker Deathcloud Warriors caught within the range of the orbs were decimated and crushed, their hearts quickly sucked into the orbs. Right now Li Yang showed exactly why he was feared in the past despite mainly only using his law of lightning, he didn't need his law of destruction to be a terrifying force and a horrible enemy.
The orbs that crashed into the earth swiftly bloomed into man-sized versions of the massive chrysanthemum that had just split up, each one with a burning golden center. The area was almost instantly transformed into a small forest of frozen flowers that not just shimmered with light but also radiated a chilly mist, a sight that was breathtaking both figuratively and literally. Li Yang stretched out both his arms wide once the flowers all bloomed, the edges of his mouth still curved upwards.
”The stage's been set and it's all ready, let's see how long you're able to last.”
Li Yang's entire body burst into flames once he finished his words, disintegrating and vanishing as the flames dispersed. The flames within one of the flowers flickered just as Li Yang's body disintegrated, Li Yang appearing from the flames and stepping through the ice surrounding them, now clad in a crimson robe formed from his flames.
This wasn't the first time that Li Yang had used this way of movement, turning his body into fire and moving between the surrounding fire. But this was the first time he could do it this smoothly and without having to worry about the energy consumption it brought with it. After all, there were thousands of little blobs of highly concentrated lifeforce all around him, he had so much energy at his disposal that he almost didn't know what to do with it.
The flower he stepped out from was right behind one of the 15 solid humanoid shapes, his sword appearing in his grasp and slashing at the Deathcloud Warrior's neck. The being quickly reacted to the attack by turning around and facing Li Yang, throwing up its right arm so that it could block the edge of the blade with its forearm.
Li Yang's blade crashed into the arm of the Deathcloud Warrior, the collision actually creating a few sparks and a clanking sound, it seemed like the arm of this Deathcloud Warrior was harder than most steel. The Deathcloud Warrior pushed out its arm and tilted it slightly, causing Li Yang's blade to slide along its arm so that it would harmlessly sweep through the air in front of it.
But the golden-violet blade unleashed a violent splendor just as the tip of the blade passed by the throat of the Deathcloud Warrior. An ear-shattering roar of thunder rocked the area as a golden bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the blade, piercing through the air and drawing a dark line in space as it tore through it like paper.
The entire right side of the Deathcloud Warrior's throat vanished as the lightning pierced through it, but Li Yang's eyes still frowned as he saw the scene. The lightning should have completely taken off the head of the Deathcloud Warrior, but something strange occurred within his lightning at the very last second.
It suddenly moved on its own and changed direction, even revolting slightly as it tried to free itself from Li Yang's control. For a few short instances, the bolt of lightning seemed as if it had gained a life of its own. From the looks of the situation, it seemed like the chubby man they interrogated earlier hadn't been lying when he said that the Bloodwind Emperor was rumored to be able to grant life to all things in the multiverse. Just the remnant energy remaining in these Deathcloud Warriors was enough to affect his lightning.
Li Yang didn't get a chance to launch a second attack, a Deathcloud Warrior appearing behind him and turning its arm into a large hammer that it smashed into his back. Li Yang's body cracked and shattered into fragments of ice, his actual body quickly appearing at the side of another Deathcloud Warrior that was a few tens of meters away.
He didn't slash out with his sword this time but rather stomped the ground and sent out a swift punch with his right fist. The Deathcloud Warrior placed both its hands in front of its chest and blocked Li Yang's punch with its two palms, throwing out an upwards kick with its left leg at the same time. The front of the Deathcloud Warrior's leg released a sharp light as it swung upward, it had clearly turned its leg as sharp as any blade, one of the advantages that came with being a lifeform with a smoke-like body.
But Li Yang gave a light twist of his fist just as the Deathcloud Warrior swung its leg upwards, the two hands of the being getting blasted apart as its chest sank inwards. Li Yang had the body of a humanoid divine beast, the sheer physical might he could unleash was far above any body cultivator at his realm. His punch also unleashed golden flames that started to eat away at the arm of the Deathcloud Warrior, a frozen spear as thick as a grown man's arm suddenly piercing through its chest from where Li Yang's punch had landed, practically right at the center.
