Lin Jichen and Li Chang'an were fiercely battling in the sky.
Below, others were busy dealing with the two Grand Elders.
Ren Lan was struggling against the Grand Elder in the Later Stage of Crystal Formation. She tried to learn from Lin Jichen, attempting to dodge the skills in every possible way.
But she was just imitating without understanding, unable to dodge a single skill.
"How does Little Lin manage to dodge those skills? Why can't I do it?" Ren Lan said bitterly.
Every time she got hit, her health would drop significantly.
Fortunately, the Spring Thunder Belt Lin Jichen gave her added a lot of health and defense, and Panda Xiong's Absolute Defense helped her withstand a lot of damage.
Otherwise, she would have been dead by now.
But Panda Xiong's health bar was also almost depleted. If this continued, Lin Jichen's pet would die.
"Hurry up and kill him, or if I die, you won't be able to escape either," Ren Lan urged Jiang Luoyu behind her.
"I'm already doing my best to deal damage. He has less than 5,000 health left. My skills are on cooldown. Hold on a bit longer, and I should be able to kill him when my skills are ready."
"5,000? Can I even survive until then?" Ren Lan retorted.
At this moment, Panda Xiong was kicked away, severely injured, with his health bar almost empty. If he took a few more skills, he would really die.
Ren Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Panda Xiong, don't come over!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Luoyu's excessive damage output and the failure to switch defense with Panda Xiong in time caused the green-haired Grand Elder's aggro to shift to Jiang Luoyu.
In an instant, the green-haired Grand Elder appeared in front of Jiang Luoyu and punched her, sending her flying.
Jiang Luoyu, with her pitiful spell cultivator defense, saw her health bar drop by two-thirds instantly.
One more punch, and she would be dead.
At this critical moment, Ren Lan rushed to the rescue, unleashing the Explosive Killing Heavy Punch she had just learned!
She charged forward, landing a heavy punch on the green-haired Grand Elder, while a thick shield appeared around her.
The green-haired Grand Elder was stunned for a second and entered a weakened state.
When he woke up, his health was down to less than 3,000.
The green-haired Grand Elder became enraged and launched a frenzied attack. Ren Lan's shield was broken in less than a second.
Seeing her health bar depleting, she quickly used the Spring Thunder Belt's blood pool.
Instantly, her health bar increased by 3,000.
Jiang Luoyu didn't say a word, immediately getting up and silently targeting the green-haired Grand Elder with her skills.
The battle in the sky was even more intense.
Li Chang'an was clearly getting impatient. Lin Jichen was like an eel, always slipping away from his attacks.
Even though Li Chang'an was much faster, he couldn't land a hit.
It was as if Lin Jichen could predict his moves, always dodging at the last moment, causing Li Chang'an to hit nothing but air.
Li Chang'an's anger surged.
His eyes flashed like lightning, and he formed a seal with his left hand. The air became like a swamp, with immense resistance to every movement.
"Ten Thousand Poison Ghost Shadow Palm!"
A violent energy burst from his left hand.
Li Chang'an struck in mid-air, sending dozens of palm waves from his left hand, each containing terrifying spiritual power.
The palm waves shot out like a rain of arrows, truly resembling ghost shadows, covering Lin Jichen!
Seeing this, Lin Jichen knew he couldn't hold back his skills any longer. If he got hit by this, he would lose a significant amount of health.
"Wind Thunder Sword!"
Lin Jichen dashed through the palm waves, suddenly appearing in front of Li Chang'an.
His sword, Nightfall, sliced through the air with a straight, thunderous Sword Qi!
He thought he could easily deal some damage, but Li Chang'an also disappeared in front of him.
Li Chang'an, as a Golden Core cultivator, naturally had his own Movement Technique.
This strike missed, but at least he dodged Li Chang'an's Spirit Skill.
In terms of skills exchanged, one of his for two of Li Chang'an's wasn't a bad trade.
But Lin Jichen couldn't find Li Chang'an anywhere, as if he had vanished.
At that moment, a sense of danger surged behind Lin Jichen!
Li Chang'an appeared behind Lin Jichen out of thin air, striking down with a force like a collapsing mountain.
The poisonous palm hit Lin Jichen, but it passed right through his body, only creating a gust of wind.
There was no sensation of hitting a solid body.
Li Chang'an's eyes widened in confusion, realizing he had been tricked when the 'Lin Jichen' in front of him dissipated.
At the same time, a sense of danger surged behind him.
A sharp wind tore through the air with a piercing whistle.
In an instant, the black sword became ethereal and transparent, slashing out twenty-two white Sword Qi, creating a feather-like effect in the void.
The Sword Qi then pierced through the void, carrying an unstoppable force, accurately hitting the turning Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an reacted quickly, trying to use his Movement Technique to dodge the moment he saw the Sword Qi.
But just as he gathered his energy, the feather-like Sword Qi slashed at him.
After the first Sword Qi hit, he didn't give up and continued to try to dodge with his spiritual power.
But as he was about to release his Movement Technique, the second Sword Qi hit.
The gathered spiritual energy suddenly dissipated.
Li Chang'an was left stunned.
The only downside of the Phoenix Feather was its area damage, with the Sword Qi scattering and being uncontrollable.
When released in one direction, it couldn't concentrate on a single point unless the target was large enough to block all the scattered Sword Qi.
Like the Corpse King in Corpse King Valley when he activated the power of the Ba.
Li Chang'an, being slender, dodged sixty percent of the Sword Qi, which whistled past him.
But he still got hit by five Sword Qi, one of which slashed deep into his chest, exposing the bone.
"Crippled: Weak points all over the body, lasts 20 seconds!"
Pain! Li Chang'an felt intense pain all over his body!
But more than pain, he felt rage!
He had been made so miserable by a mere Foundation Establishment kid, huh.
Li Chang'an looked up at Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen quickly grabbed a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth. The effect of the previous pills had worn off, and he seized the opportunity to take more.
Li Chang'an closed his eyes, gathering his aura.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils shone with golden light, and everyone below felt a strong pressure.
In the next moment, golden light burst forth, and a fierce wind howled, toppling trees within a few miles.
The wind shot out like arrows, extending three feet!
The air seemed to be sliced, producing a faint rumbling sound.
Li Chang'an's body was enveloped in golden light, his arms glowing, fingers like five wheels, and his palm like an exploding star, carrying destructive power!
"Shattered Sky Demon Seal Palm!"
At this moment, the sky darkened, as if day had turned to night.
Lin Jichen smiled bitterly, knowing exactly what skill Li Chang'an was using.
An Ultimate Technique!
This was an Ultimate Technique that only Crystal Formation and Golden Core cultivators could learn, far superior to Spirit Skills.
The power of an Ultimate Technique was usually several times, even dozens of times that of a Spirit Skill, and often had area-locking effects.
Unless one had special skills, there was no way to dodge it.
