Why Not Have a Chat?
Instead of pursuing a one-hit kill, they instead used [Breaking Fiend Golden Light] in combination with [Earth Surge Golden Thorns] in alternating attacks.
Golden rays rained down, and iron thorns sprang up like venomous snakes, not seeking to harm the enemy, but only to slow them down!
Wherever the Crimson Shadow passed, a barrier of Azure Qi frequently appeared.
When the golden light pierced through, the barrier shattered like glass, only to instantly mend itself amidst the swirling Pill Mist.
When surrounded by iron thorns, Lin Huasheng's Crimson Shadow always managed to escape the cage by the slightest margin.
With a backhand slap, he unleashed a powerful Fist Aura that Stone-Splitting Sky-Piercing!
"Crack--!"
A crimson fist grazed Lu Ming's shoulder, and the Protective Spiritual Light around him vanished instantly.
A crisp cracking sound came from his shoulder blade, and Lu Ming groaned and staggered, half of his body instantly going numb.
In this war of attrition, Lu Ming was the first to show signs of defeat!
He had already exhausted 60% of his Spiritual Power, while Lin Huasheng's two Pill were still highly effective, and his aura was not weakening but rather increasing!
"We can't delay any longer..."
A resolute glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
He suddenly stopped, letting the Crimson Shadow close to within three zhang!
He suddenly clasped his hands together, and golden light burst forth from his body, accompanied by a buzzing sound!
Dozens of large golden runes spun and rose from beneath Lu Ming's feet, connecting end to end in a ring.
It transformed into a golden phantom Defense Formation about ten feet in Fang Yuan, firmly protecting Lu Ming at its core.
The runes on the array wall moved like dragons, radiating a deep and powerful suppressive force!
Su Bai was taken aback by what he saw.
This formation is clearly the same one used by the Heavenly Law Ancestor's Clone!
Although the number of runes has been greatly reduced, and the aura they exude has also been slightly weakened.
But Su Bai would never admit his mistake.
This formation is definitely the same Defense Formation Array that Su Bai used when he first Heavenly Law Clone!
"That Lu Ming..."
The battle on the field continued, and Su Bai suppressed his curiosity and continued watching.
A strange light flashed in Lin Huasheng's crimson and blue eyes.
With both fists thrusting out, Crimson Flame coalesced into a ferocious beast's head, slamming fiercely into the Golden Magic Array!
"Clang!!!"
A massive tremor reverberated throughout the surrounding area!
The Golden Magic Array trembled violently, its surface runes flickering on and off, yet ultimately it remained intact.
Lin Huasheng frowned slightly, changed his fist into a palm, and frantically attacked the same point.
Golden runes wailed, and cracks spread like a spiderweb!
Lu Ming's face was ashen, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit in unleashing this Magic Array, with blood gushing from the corner of his lips.
He dug his fingers deep into his palms, using the excruciating pain to keep his Spiritual Platform clear.
He was gambling on the last sliver of a chance to win.
The Gambling Lin Huasheng determined that this formation was a desperate, dying defense.
They were betting that he would break through the formation with all his might, betting that at that moment his old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated.
"Shatter!" Lin Huasheng exhaled sharply.
Finally, the Golden Bell was pierced through with a deafening roar.
Now!
A sharp glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes! His clasped hands suddenly parted.
The shattered fragments of the Golden Bell did not dissipate; instead, they transformed into several fine golden runes, which, like blood-sniffing leeches, wrapped around Lin Huasheng's arms and legs as he broke the formation.
Lin Huasheng was startled.
But then Lu Ming coughed up another Qi and Blood and shouted, "Sleepy!"
Golden runes surge upon contact with blood!
It instantly wrapped around Lin Huasheng's entire body.
Furthermore, four solid Chains split off, firmly nailing themselves into the Metallic Stone Ground!
Lin Huasheng used every trick in the book.
The Crimson Dan Qi clashed violently with the golden rope, producing a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
He struggled frantically, tearing deep gashes into the Metallic Stone Ground. The Chains formed from golden runes stretched taut, ready to snap, but ultimately faltered for a moment.
One breath is enough!
Lu Ming transformed into a burning Golden Meteor, channeling all his remaining Spiritual Power, Bone and Blood Qi into his right fist.
Where the fist passed, the air was torn apart, creating a vacuum tunnel.
A punch that embodies a lifetime of cultivation.
It hit Lin Huasheng squarely in the chest without any fancy moves!
"Click--"
The protective Azure Qi, like crystal, completely disintegrated, transforming into countless fireflies.
Lu Ming's all-out punch had reached the limit of the protection provided by the Azure Dan Qi.
After the cyan barrier shattered this time, there was no rebound force.
The Azure Dan Qi surrounding Lin Huashen gradually dissipated, leaving only Crimson Dan Qi, like a beast's claws.
Lin Huasheng's Daoist Daoist Robe ripped open, and a hidden Heart-Protecting Artifact instantly groaned and caved in, abruptly destroyed.
He even coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Did they win?
Lu Ming staggered to the ground, his knees buckling and he almost collapsed to his knees.
His Spiritual Power was completely depleted, his Meridians felt as if they were being scorched by a raging fire, and his vision had become somewhat black.
However, Lin Huasheng was ultimately only at the Late Golden Core realm.
His more profound Spiritual Power and divine soul allowed him to retain the strength to fight.
As for Lu Ming, there's no need to say more. Having exhausted all his methods, he has drained all his Spiritual Qi, and his soul is already somewhat overdrawn.
My entire Consciousness was on the verge of collapse.
He glanced at Lin Huasheng, who had straightened up again.
Lu Ming sighed, knowing that he still had a trump card, but using it would severely damage his cultivation foundation.
In the end, he chose to succumb to his exhaustion, his vision went black, and he collapsed onto the Combat without any regard for dignity.
In this battle, Lin Huasheng of the South Sea emerged victorious.
Cultivator Alchemist around them, who had initially looked at Lin Huasheng, were now all extremely shocked.
No one thought that Lu Ming was too weak because he lost to the Alchemist.
On the contrary, everyone felt that its strength was already very strong.
Whether it was that Third Tier Metal Attribute Divine Ability, the strange Defense Formation he ultimately unleashed, or that all-out punch...
Each of these factors would be extremely difficult to deal with.
Yet he was still defeated by Lin Huasheng, whose body was adorned with both blue and red aura.
The strength of Lin Huasheng, the Alchemist from Dan Island in the South Sea Pill, is self-evident.
At this point, Lu Ming, who had fainted, was carried off the field, and someone treated his wounds.
Lin Huasheng immediately sat down cross-legged and took several Healing Pill, intending to fight again.
The morale of the group of Golden Core from the South Sea was naturally greatly boosted.
Meanwhile, the Golden Core Cultivator of the Heavenly Star Alliance were all somewhat troubled, discussing among themselves but unsure who to send out.
In this situation, it seems that no matter who is put in charge, there is no guarantee of victory.
Su Bai, however, remained seated cross-legged in the audience.
He secretly intercepted a wisp of Azure Dan Qi and a Crimson Dan Qi that had dissipated during the battle between the two.
He gently placed it near his nose, and after analyzing the activation of his Talent, Su Bai raised an eyebrow.
The blue and red Pill that Lin Huasheng took were actually Fourth-tier Pill!
Moreover, it doesn't seem like Lower Grade; it's more like the aura of Middle Grade Fourth Tier Pill!
It's still the Demonic Core Alchemy Method by the Pill Saint Qiu Yi, and this Pill should also be the work of the Pill Saint of Pill Island.
"Pill Island has certainly gone to great lengths to regain the face it lost at the Alchemy Exchange Conference..."
"If the opportunity arises, perhaps I could learn this alchemy technique..."
As Su Bai pondered, none of the eight or nine Golden Core Cultivator from Heavenly Star City had the courage to step forward.
Lin Huasheng, on the other hand, has recovered most of his form.
At this moment, he stood up, seemingly noticing the hesitation on the part of the Heavenly Star Alliance.
Suddenly, he smiled faintly and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Bai, "Daoist Lu Jiu, it's been many years. Why don't we go up on the stage for a chat?"
