686 Battling Mie Liezi Again! (2/2)
\”Daoist You Ran is a surviving Never-Ending Clan member who's controlling Mie Liezi's mind. I understand that you find it difficult what I'm telling you, but should you believe the wrong side, you will be aiding evil with its plans. Stand down and stop fighting. You can still choose to not help either one of us!\” Feng Qiuran said. Her eyes were clear and filled with anxiety, drastically different from Mie Liezi's lost and dazed look. The glowing man, formed from the consciousness of a hundred thousand cultivators, froze momentarily and lowered its head. It seemed to be mirroring the apprehension that had emerged amongst the hundred thousand controlling the array formation!
It was then that Daoist You Ran's voice, boosted by the power of the array formation, resonated in the air.
\”Let's welcome Elder Qiuran's return. Participants in the process will be awarded three hundred battle credits, and those who succeed will be awarded ten thousand battle credits!\”
Those words rumbled in the air. The glowing man shuddered, then lifted its head, its eyes shining with intense light. The desire to earn battle credits seemed to have won over many of the hundred thousand minds that steered the glowing man. It started charging at Feng Qiuran again.
It surged forward, breaking the sound barrier and emanating a power that rivaled a Soul Conduit realm cultivator as it crashed into Feng Qiuran.
Wang Baole threw a glance at Feng Qiuran, who was being forced to fight the glowing man. He saw the sorrow in her eyes. Even so, she was not using any offensive or lethal attacks. She was still only trying to defend herself.
Wang Baole frowned as anxiety raged inside him. He needed to leave Mercury as soon as possible. Any delay might allow Never-Ending Clan members more opportunities to join forces with the other Dao Palace cultivators. When that happened, escape might no longer be possible. In fact, death might be the only option left for him.
\”Elder Qiuran, we need to get out of here, fast!\” Wang Baole shouted. Mie Liezi had approached then, his full cultivation unleashed as he rushed at Wang Baole like a shooting star.
Wang Baole didn't have the luxury to remind Feng Qiuran of their situation anymore. He raised his right hand and formed a series of hand seals. His storage bracelet trembled, and a black pike flew out and surged towards Mie Liezi with a force that could slice through the air itself. A mirror of himself also materialized and separated from his person. He had summoned his avatar.
His avatar rushed head-on towards the heavens. His real form, on the other hand, tightened its fist. The power of his Stellar Nascent Soul and his Thearch Armor gathered in his fist. His Supernova punch followed swiftly behind his Dharmic Armament, both headed for Mie Liezi!
The two opponents collided. The black pike was an incredible artifact that had been given a boost of power by Wang Baole's inherent strength. It was a black beam of light that seemed capable of tearing through space with its sharpness. The power that it exuded was that of a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament. In the face of such power, even Mie Liezi was slightly intimidated. His pupils contracted.
Wang Baole's Supernova combined his cultivation and his physical strength. It was augmented by the endless Spirit Qi housed in the spirit fat in Wang Baole's body. Wang Baole was like a literal walking Spirit Stone.
\”Eat that! I have plenty more spirit energy to spare!\” Wang Baole roared. He unleashed ten punches consecutively. His fists looked large, a thousand feet wide, as they hit the air, and the incredible force of those hits rushed at Mie Liezi!
The punches exploded in the air, the explosions resonating loudly in the sky. The two cultivators began to battle it out. The black pike got the first hit in. Wang Baole gritted his teeth and triggered its self-destruction without hesitation!
Thunderous booms rumbled in the air!
The force of the Dharmic Armament's explosion surged outwards, forming a shock wave that combined with Wang Baole's Supernova punches and resulted in incredible power. Wang Baole had given everything he had in those Supernova punches. Mie Liezi shuddered violently and was driven back by the fierce attack!
Wang Baole yelled as Mie Liezi retreated in evasion.
\”Feng Qiuran, why aren't you moving?\” Wang Baole turned as he spoke, then unleashed ten Supernovas at the glowing man engaged in battle with Feng Qiuran!
The assault sent the heavens quaking. Winds lashed out while clouds rolled back. Under Wang Baole's control, the attack drove the glowing man back while giving Feng Qiuran a helpful boost.
A resolute look appeared in Feng Qiuran's eyes. She unleashed her power, and with a hard shove, sped up and shot towards the heavens!
Wang Baole's breathing quickened, and he switched places with his avatar, who had reached the edge of the sky, instantly!
He gave Mie Liezi and the glowing man no chance to come after them. A vicious light flashed across the avatar's eyes. Without sparing a second thought, it self-destructed!
