"Wife, come out and watch the huge fight between the immortal cultivators!"
"Oh, it's really maddening when I compare myself to others. I am also a warlord, but I feel like a sham in front of them."
"Chill. According to my experience, these two people are rare diamond geniuses. There might not even be one such genius in a year in a small city with a population of millions of people."
While everyone was discussing this on the Internet, the two men in the air had already begun fighting. It was Lu Yang who took the lead. Wind rose and clouds surged. Numerous clouds and mist surged, covering Lǚ Yang's body.
Then, there was another massive wave of clouds and mist. The clouds and mist at the front twisted and transformed into a dozen Lǚ Yangs, rushing toward Lin Yao from several angles.
"This is... Phantom Clone Slash?"
It was indeed Phantom Clone Slash. However, after combining it with the cloud and mist talent, Lu Yang's Phantom Clone Slash had already changed qualitatively. It was no longer unleashed in a strike or slash. He was able to use the clouds and mist to create clones that could last a long time.
While facing the imposing clones formed by clouds and mist, Lin Yao flapped the wings on his back and blew out a gale.
Wind could restrain clouds and mist. With the gale blowing, the 10 figures rushing toward him became deformed and could not maintain their human form eventually. However, Lin Yao's wind was still too weak. He could blow and dispel the returning cloudy mist figures but couldn't move the clouds and mist within a radius of hundreds of meters behind him.
The gale had only overthrown the clouds and mist for a while, and everything became silent again afterward.
A moment later, the surging clouds and mist suddenly converged. Within a very short time, a 10-meter-long palm made of clouds and mist condensed and shot toward Lin Yao fiercely.
[Cloud-Splitting Palm]
Boom!
The giant palm broke across the air and smashed toward Lin Yao with a mighty aura. This was no longer something that could be blown and dispelled by a mere gust of wind.
Lin Yao's brows were furrowed, and there was a sudden outburst of electric light from his forehead. Boom! A bolt of electric light dashed forward like a dragon and collided with the giant cloudy mist palm.
Buzz, buzz.
The clouds and mist were densely filled with water vapor. When thunder and lightning clashed with the giant cloudy mist palm, electric light spread on the giant palm. However, this merely reduced the speed of the oncoming cloudy mist palm.
'This doesn't work. There's not enough thunder and lightning. A bit of thunder and lightning can't wipe out Lǚ Yang's vital energy aura in the clouds and mist. I need to increase the intensity of my thunder and lightning... But my vital energy cultivation is not as strong as Lǚ Yang's. I won't have the upper hand if I fight him head-on. '
As the others had said, Lin Yao was substantially behind Lǚ Yang when it came to vital energy cultivation. Nevertheless, the gap was not as exaggerated as 10 times.
After all, Lin Yao had the Sun God Pattern and the Thunderbolt Mark to make up for this shortcoming. He also possessed the feathered serpent spirit, which was at the beginner silver level. Despite all of this, Lin Yao was still lagging behind a little in terms of vital energy cultivation. Therefore, a direct confrontation was not a wise move.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yao flapped his wings and streaked past the giant palm. A moment later, the inside of the giant cloudy mist palm suddenly flashed with high heat. A loud boom ensued, and a violent explosion was heard beside Lin Yao.
The aftershock of the violent explosion had spread to the area within a radius of 100 meters. Lin Yao, who was in the air, was not spared either. During the explosion, one could clearly see that he was sent flying away like a small boat in a storm due to the impact.
What was more terrifying was that, after the explosion, the clouds and mist scattered everywhere. However, they were not ordinary clouds and mist but high-temperature steam.
Shrouded by clouds and mist, Lin Yao felt like he was in a steaming basket.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
The impact had destroyed everything, and the hot steam was burning everything enveloped by it. Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the guardian holy seal appeared in the sun pattern on Lin Yao's chest. Relying on the light energy inside, the holy seal transformed rapidly into the holy garment, shielding Lin Yao's entire body and creating a barrier between him and the heat and impact.
However, the sudden impact of the explosion still dealt a heavy blow to Lin Yao's internal organs. Fortunately, the Armored Body Of Light protected Lin Yao's body, including his internal organs. Otherwise, despite the protection of the holy garment, he would at least have spewed a mouthful of blood due to the explosion impact.
'High-temperature steam. I knew it was not going to be that simple!'
Lin Yao, who had escaped from the explosion, didn't have any time to catch his breath. After the giant Cloud-Splitting Palm, a dozen cloudy, misty figures besieged him. The dangerous situation did not end there. That vast and massive ball of clouds and mist was also flying toward Lin Yao under the control of Lǚ Yang.
"You actually blocked the steaming Cloud-Splitting Palm... But how much longer can you resist?"
In the face of the offensive Lǚ Yang, Lin Yao flashed the Tempest Wings on his back and dodged the dashing figures in the air. By now, he was aware that these figures could engage in close combat with him and would explode violently and emit hot steam upon dying. Of course, he would not allow them to get close to him.
While flying in the air, naturally, Lin Yao would not suffer a beating without retaliating. With a flash of the Thunderbolt Mark on the center of his forehead, both his eyes turned extremely cold and aloof.
It was the second level of the gene lock—Brain Restriction Lifted!
When the restrictions were removed, a tungsten alloy pellet appeared in his palm. He had carried it in his hand since before taking the stage. At that moment, Lin Yao's arm was bursting with thunderlight. He placed these pellets on his thumb, ready to unleash his Super Electromagnetic Gun.
Lǚ Yang could sense Lin Yao's impending attack but was not anxious. 'I am hiding in the clouds and mist. How can you possibly attack me?'
Aside from his other skills, his concealing ability was very powerful. The clouds and mist that filled the sky did not only block one's vision but also blocked detection through mental strength or other abilities. Even Lin Yao's Electromagnetic Induction couldn't detect what was happening inside.
Although he could conceal most of these things, the malice in his heart was as clear as a lamp in Lin Yao's mind.
'Good and Evil Distinguishment is also a detection ability!'
As he exclaimed in his heart, the magnetic field on Lin Yao's arm was already done accumulating its power. When Lin Yao flicked his thumb lightly...
Boom!
Amid the explosion and crackling sounds in the air, the tungsten alloy pellet disappeared in front of Lin Yao as if it had teleported instantly.
Unlike game tokens, which could be shot, tungsten alloy pellets wouldn't burn due to the friction in the air. Therefore, one could not see a bolt of orange line in the air.
However, this didn't reduce the prowess of the Super Electromagnetic Gun. On the other hand, due to the compatibility of the pellet, the Super Electromagnetic Gun launched this time was faster and more hidden.
'If there is no defense, this will be an instant, one-blow kill. '
Lin Yao had it all planned. Unfortunately, Lǚ Yang did not totally lack any means. The Super Electromagnetic Gun was indeed terrifying. Even sound couldn't catch up with its speed, nor could Lǚ Yang see it. However, the surrounding sky of clouds and mist was his territory. As the tungsten alloy pellet shot into the cloud and mist, he sensed danger immediately.
'This is... How is it possible? How did you find me?'
Endless questions appeared in Lu Yang's mind. Even as these doubts appeared and stunned his consciousness, he reacted instinctively by going all out, twisting his body and yelling furiously, "Explode!"
At his furious holler, the clouds and mist gathered in front of him suddenly, turned into high-temperature steam, and exploded violently. A series of explosions were heard ahead, setting off endless shock waves. The fast-moving tungsten alloy pellet shot into the area of the explosions and was inevitably affected.
However, this pellet was specially made and extremely difficult to destroy. Given the potential energy it carried, it was also hard for it to transform into something else. Besides, it was already very close to Lǚ Yang when he discovered it, where there were not that many explosions. In the end, the cloud and mist explosions merely deflected the pellet slightly.
The pellet grazed Lu Yang's body and then shot straight into the distance.
It seemed not to hurt the enemy, but the prowess of the Super Electromagnetic Gun was massive. A tungsten alloy pellet that was projected electromagnetically could perforate a tank. There were claims that it was stronger than Barrett, who was also known as the king of snipers.
The bullets fired by Barrett's sniper rifle were known to cause injury the moment they grazed someone and result in death upon hitting them. The Super Electromagnetic Gun was more powerful and certainly not the slightest bit inferior.
Although it had only grazed Lǚ Yang's shoulder, its terrifying potential energy caused his shoulder to explode. If a martial artist's body was not tough and protected by vital energy, he would not have had just a broken shoulder. Half of Lǚ Yang's body would have been torn apart.
"Ah!!!
"Scoundrel, I am going to kill..."
The pain of his injury made Lǚ Yang howl and holler furiously. The clouds and mist continued to churn. However, before he could vent his rage, there was another sound of explosion in the air. Lǚ Yang, who had been watching Lin Yao like a hawk, discovered that the second Super Electromagnetic Gun had already been fired, and the pellet was heading straight in his direction.
"How exactly did you discover my whereabouts?!"
