Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Smack, smack, smack!
The unceasing sounds from midair made everyone who heard them tremble.
Huang Lingyan pressed forward with his sword, while Shangguan Feiyun swept up stones and roof tiles across the sky to block him. From time to time, a black shadow also flickered into view.
Within the swirling dirt, stones, and gravel, Shangguan Feiyun remained vigilant. These scattered objects around him were the method he had devised to deal with the situation.
The Flying Flower Scattered Hands were exquisitely subtle. At this moment, he used an ocean of True Qi to sweep up bricks and rubble, piling them into walls. They could defend and strike back alike.
By now, he had already sensed that although the person launching sneak attacks from the shadows was no weakling, he had not yet reached the level where he could confront them head-on.
If that person attacked, he could use these scattered objects to retaliate.
With that man's cultivation, taking even one hit would certainly leave him heavily wounded. Then Shangguan Feiyun could focus all his attention on dealing with Huang Lingyan.
His plan was sound, but Huang Lingyan saw through it just as clearly.
At that moment, the Frost Sword in Huang Lingyan's hand danced like a tide. Frigid air wrapped around sword qi as it repeatedly battered the earthen wall's defenses.
Anything touched by that frosty sword qi immediately froze into solid ice, then shattered with a bang into shards.
However, they were within the city. With a mere lift of his hand, Shangguan Feiyun could sweep up countless roof tiles to defend himself. Coupled with the terrifying reserves of True Qi from the Flower Cultivation and Leaf Nurturing Art, the two sides remained deadlocked for the moment.
This won't do. This can't continue!
