Lin Xuan's pupils contracted as he retreated explosively, rapidly switching Law Runes along the way.
Yet what horrified Lin Xuan was that Wu Yang's speed was not inferior to his in the slightest.
The instant he retreated, a gleaming golden finger pierced through the void and had already reached his chest.
A full seventy percent of Fist Palm Essence pressed down upon heaven and earth. As ten Metal Runes flickered, all metal-element power within a thousand zhang was drained away in an instant.
Wu Yang's finger grew ever more dazzling, carrying an incomparably dense killing intent.
I can't dodge it!
Realization struck Lin Xuan at once, and he switched his speed-type Law Runes to defense-type Law Runes.
"Divine Guard!"
Divine radiance flashed in his eyes as Sky Dust and Starfall Soil unleashed their formidable power at the same time.
Earth Veins erupted, drawing in immense earth-element power to bolster him.
At the same time, the two Celestial Gang Runes around Lin Xuan absorbed Tiangang Power, strengthening Five Elements Protection to the very limit of its defenses.
Just as Lin Xuan completed all this, Wu Yang's glittering golden finger arrived.
"Blanketing Heaven!"
Two faint words blossomed from Wu Yang's lips.
"Pop!"
A soft sound of shattering rang out. Divine Guard's repulsive force was effortlessly pierced through.
Lin Xuan's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Pffft!"
The glittering golden finger reached Five Elements Protection. It was held back for only an instant, yet still shattered Five Elements Protection like rotten wood, then landed against Lin Xuan's chest.
"Lin Xuan!"
Liu Ruyan cried herself hoarse, her eyes reddening once more.
In the sky, Luo Tongtian frowned deeply, a flash of worry crossing his heart as he nearly took a one-chi blow.
The hearts of everyone worried for Lin Xuan clenched tight.
