Chapter 499: Chaos Fire Lotus, Explode!
Chapter 499: Chaos Fire Lotus, Explode!
A rift in space suddenly appeared, taking even the late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Gao Tianyi, by surprise.
It was only when the black rift, like the gaping maw of a beast, loomed before him that Gao Tianyi became alert.
He quickly dodged, but still wasn't fast enough.
The black rift tore through his left shoulder, and blood spurted out.
The entire left arm of the late Nascent Soul stage cultivator had vanished.
"Another spatial rift!"
Gao Tianyi was now terrified as he watched the slowly disappearing rift, his face grimacing.
At the same time, his spiritual sense swept over Yan Qichang, and his heart filled with shock.
"Could it be that this Yan fellow has already mastered this spatial secret art, allowing him to tear open rifts in space? No, if he had such abilities, he would have used them earlier and wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation before."
Gao Tianyi didn't rush to use his magic spells this time. Holding the Devil Shadow Spear, he quickly flew backward.
At the same time, he released his spiritual sense to its fullest extent to perceive his surroundings.
However, to Gao Tianyi's disappointment, his spiritual sense didn't detect any other cultivators nearby, nor did he sense any more spatial rifts.
"This spatial rift appeared in such a bizarre manner, and it seems to specifically target me."
Gao Tianyi felt that something was amiss.
But at this moment, he didn't have the luxury to ponder further.
Yan Qichang, with a pleased look on his face, was already attacking with the Ice Soul Cold Mirror.
In the ensuing intense battle, Gao Tianyi, who had originally held the upper hand, became extremely passive.
Firstly, his Nascent Soul was damaged, and he had lost an arm, which had a significant impact on his abilities.
Secondly, the previous two appearances of the spatial rift weighed heavily on his mind, making him anxious and uneasy.
But what truly surprised Gao Tianyi was that, in the following moments, the spatial rift didn't reappear.
"Could it have been a mere coincidence before?"
The thought flashed through Gao Tianyi's mind.
Thinking thus, he gradually started to relax and fight back, despite being completely suppressed by Yan Qichang.
At this moment, Chu Ning, who was observing the battle from the barren mountains below, was highly satisfied.
For him, the best outcome was for the two combatants above to inflict heavy damage on each other.
So, after twice intervening to inflict severe injuries on Gao Tianyi, he refrained from taking further action.
And the situation above unfolded exactly as he had hoped.
After Gao Tianyi's successive injuries, Yan Qichang's offensive became more fierce.
And after the initial moments of adjustment, Gao Tianyi seemed to have been spurred by Yan Qichang's aggression, his fighting spirit ignited.
Even with only one hand holding the Devil Shadow Spear, he relied on various secret techniques, coupled with a fierce aura, to stabilize his stance.
Although he was still at a disadvantage, he managed to fight Yan Qichang to a standstill.
After such intense combat for nearly half an hour, both of them had suffered noticeable exhaustion.
Their bodies bore wounds, and from time to time, new injuries appeared on different parts of their bodies.
"It's about time!"
Chu Ning, who had been a silent observer, murmured to himself.
"If it were a normal situation, Yan Qichang would probably need another day and night to defeat and kill Gao Tianyi.
Since that's the case, I'll lend him a helping hand.
Having two late Nascent Soul stage cultivators fighting at such close quarters is not a good thing for the Nine Lotus Sect."
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Ning made his move as he saw Gao Tianyi being forced back. His left hand swiftly slashed, and a spatial rift appeared behind Gao Tianyi.
"Eh?"
But the next moment, Chu Ning was astonished.
He didn't know if Gao Tianyi had sensed it in advance or if he was trying to dodge Yan Qichang's incoming attack.
Gao Tianyi's figure flashed, and he vanished once more just before the spatial rift appeared.
At the same time, a figure closely followed—Yan Qichang.
At this moment, the late Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Heaven Extreme Alliance had ice-blue light flashing in his hand as he struck forward.
But to his surprise, what he hit was not Gao Tianyi's figure but a pitch-black rift.
Yan Qichang hadn't been injured by the spatial rift before, so his alertness was lower than Gao Tianyi's.
Thus, he didn't prepare in advance, and by the time he noticed the spatial rift, it was too late to stop his action.
"Ugh!"
He felt a tremendous force pulling on his right arm, as if it wanted to pull his entire body into the rift.
However, Yan Qichang was indeed a late Nascent Soul stage grand cultivator, and his reaction was swift.
A shocking amount of magical power burst out from his body, forcibly resisting the pulling force of the spatial rift.
At the same time, his body quickly flew backward.
Just as his figure moved, the spatial rift flashed and vanished, taking Yan Qichang's right arm with it.
"Good! Hehe!"
Seeing this, Gao Tianyi burst into laughter.
He immediately charged forward, brandishing the Devil Shadow Spear, and a black arc of light slashed down at Yan Qichang.
The late Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Demon Path Alliance was now directly using his treasure's true form to attack.
Yan Qichang's figure had just stabilized, and he didn't have time to use a fleeing technique to escape.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the shock of losing his right arm to the spatial rift, he quickly summoned the Ice Soul Cold Mirror to block.
"Boom!!!'
The two ancient treasures collided, creating a powerful spiritual power wave that reverberated through the air.
"This..."
Chu Ning, who was observing from below, was also taken aback by this turn of events.
His original intention had been to injure Gao Tianyi once more, allowing Yan Qichang to achieve victory more swiftly and thus ending the conflict.
But contrary to his expectations, a twist of fate had caused Yan Qichang to suffer a severe injury instead.
In their heavily injured states, the two Late Nascent Soul stage cultivators began to exert their full strength, directly employing their signature treasures in a head-on clash.
"If the two of them get too close..."
As he watched the stalemate unfold, Chu Ning's eyes flickered with a thoughtful gleam.
At the same time, Yan Qichang, who was in mid-air, had a sudden change of expression. While exerting his full power to manipulate the Ice Soul Cold Mirror, he transmitted his voice to Gao Tianyi through divine sense.
"Old Demon Gao, something's amiss. How could space rifts appear one after another in this place?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Tianyi coldly harrumphed and replied through divine sense, "When the space rift first appeared, I already sensed that something was off.
But you kept pressing on, and now you're suffering the consequences.
Hehe!"
As Gao Tianyi transmitted his voice, he couldn't help but use his divine sense to probe the area again, but still found nothing.
Yan Qichang was doing the same, and he said, "Old Demon Gao, let's not be played by someone else. I can't think of anyone in the Western Alliance Continent who possesses such spatial secret techniques.
But we should still test it out."
Gao Tianyi immediately responded, "Regardless of who it is, if they're hiding nearby, they're either concealed in the cloud layer above or in the barren mountains below.
Why don't we temporarily hold back and attack upward and downward respectively to see if we can force them out?"
"Good!" Yan Qichang agreed. "I'll count to three, and we'll stop at the same time."
"One, two, three!"
As Yan Qichang's voice fell.
However, neither the blue light on the Ice Soul Cold Mirror nor the black light on the Devil Shadow Spear showed any signs of weakening.
The two cultivators glanced at each other, their eyes filled with wariness.
Evidently, at the Late Nascent Soul stage, neither could bring themselves to trust the other.
However, in the next moment, while their signature treasures remained locked in a stalemate, they both raised their hands and cast a spell simultaneously.
Instantly, countless black lights, resembling tiny insects, shot wildly toward the cloud layer above.
At the same time, frost and ice rained down from above, covering the barren mountains below.
"They've still ended up alerting them after all."
Chu Ning, who had been about to take action, saw this and didn't hesitate any longer.
His figure emerged from the barren mountains, and he let out a loud roar.
"Brother Yan, I'll lend you a hand!"
The two Late Nascent Soul stage cultivators, who were engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air, were both surprised to see Chu Ning suddenly appear.
With their divine senses, they instantly recognized that he was a newly met Early Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
However, neither of them knew who he was.
In the next moment, they saw a cluster of green flames surging upward from below.
Its target was none other than Gao Tianyi!
"Damn it!" Although Gao Tianyi couldn't immediately identify what the green flames were, rage filled his heart.
Black demonic energy swirled around his body as he unleashed his full power.
At the same time, the black light on the Devil Shadow Spear intensified.
In the next moment, the spear trembled slightly and became ethereal.
"Trying to retreat? Humph!"
Although Yan Qichang didn't know why Chu Ning had chosen to help him, the fact was that the green flames with their formidable might were indeed targeting Gao Tianyi.
Now that he saw Gao Tianyi attempting to back off, he wouldn't let his opponent get away so easily.
The Ice Soul Cold Mirror in his hand burst forth with a surge of blue light, firmly locking onto the Devil Shadow Spear that had turned illusory.
Once again, the two treasures were locked in a stalemate.
Gao Tianyi, seeing that he couldn't break free from the Ice Soul Cold Mirror's restraint, was unwilling to leave just like that.
If he retracted his power, his signature treasure would be damaged, and there was even a possibility that Yan Qichang would seize it.
Just as he was about to be hit by the green flames, Gao Tianyi's body was enveloped in black light, and he immediately activated a protective spiritual light around himself.
At the same time, he was already thinking about how to deal with Yan Qichang next.
As for the green flames, Gao Tianyi could sense their extraordinary aura, but with his Late Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he didn't believe that they could break through his protective spiritual light.
The green flames approached, and the two Late Nascent Soul stage cultivators got a clear look at them.
The green flames were a mix of green and white, resembling a freshly bloomed lotus flower—a sight to behold.
As they pondered what this phenomenon was and what power it held, the green and white lotus that was about to come into contact with Gao Tianyi's protective spiritual light suddenly released a heart-palpitating aura.
Before the two Late Nascent Soul stage cultivators could react...
"Boom!"
The green and white lotus abruptly exploded in the air, and in that moment, the entire sky was enveloped in a dazzling display of green clouds.
Chaos Fire Lotus, explode!
