Five-Element Spell Combination

Meng Jingzhou and his two companions watched the performance while eating roasted mutton. They applauded and praised Li Haoran's brilliant stroke of genius.

"Great idea! We can't use the usual methods to deal with Lu Yang!" Meng Jingzhou praised. As Lu Yang's old rival, he knew that he couldn't win using ordinary methods; only by using unconventional tactics could he possibly win.

"This skin tastes good, even better than mutton." Meng Jingzhou smacked his lips. He had just eaten mutton skin, roasted until crisp and fragrant, crunchy in his mouth, leaving a lingering aroma on his lips and teeth. Paired with chive blossoms to cut through the richness, the taste was absolutely amazing.

The mutton under the skin is slightly inferior.

Meng Jingzhou inadvertently glanced at the raging Samadhi Fire and slammed his fist into his palm. "I've got an idea."

He flicked out a wisp of Nirvana True Fire and threw it into the Samadhi True Fire. The two fires mixed together, making a crackling sound.

Under the influence of the Nirvana Fire, the sheep carcass gradually grows sheepskin. Moreover, because the skin grows slowly, it allows for a more refined experience of being roasted by the Samadhi Fire, resulting in an even more exquisite taste!

Man Gu's eyes lit up at the sight; he never imagined that the Nirvana True Flame could be used in this way.

It's understandable that he hadn't encountered the "Three Flavors True Fire" before and hadn't associated it with barbecue.

But the renowned Nirvana True Fire is known to every cultivator in the cultivation world. It's truly unbelievable that he didn't think of using it for grilling.

This is utterly disgraceful to the identity of a descendant of the barbaric family!

I knew I could learn real skills by following Brother Lu and Brother Meng!

As a Confucian scholar, Man Gu adheres to the sage's teaching that "all three people walking together are my teachers" and "I examine myself three times a day," constantly reflecting on his shortcomings and making up for them.

While Man Gu was studying, Lu Yang was still fighting with the four-armed Li Haoran.

The three heads and six arms truly lived up to their reputation as a great supernatural Divine Ability. Even with Li Haoran's mastery of this inferior four-armed Divine Ability, he still put a lot of pressure on Lu Yang.

"Palm Thunder!"

"Six Ding Divine Fire!"

"Great Evolution True Fire!"

"A ten-foot bamboo!"

With four hands Hand Seals, four different Law Technique were unleashed at Lu Yang all at once.

The golden bird cried out, igniting the Samadhi Fire. The golden bird spread its wings, each feather as sharp as a sword, slicing through the air.

Although the Six Ding Divine Fire and the Great Evolution True Fire are both true fires, they are not known for their explosive power and are no match for Lu Yang's attacks of the two true fires and Sword Qi.

The lightning bolt in the palm also vanished into nothingness upon impact.

Only a section of emerald green bamboo, sharpened by Li Haoran, pierced Lu Yang with a sudden, sonic boom.

Lu Yang opened his Divine Sense and had already discovered Qingzhu's presence, but his body reacted a beat too slow and cut his arm.

"Junior Brother Li, you're quite skilled! You actually poisoned the bamboo." Lu Yang used the Golden Bird True Flame to restrain Li Haoran and took out an antidote pill from his identity jade token.

"There's no way around it, Senior Brother Lu is too strong. We can't win without using some tricks."

"Besides, Senior Brother Lu, you haven't shown your true skills yet, have you?"

Suddenly, Lu Yang and Li Haoran attacked simultaneously and clashed.

They all wanted to launch a sneak attack while they were talking, but they didn't expect that they had the same idea.

"Arhat Fist!"

Lu Yang no longer held back and unleashed a fierce punch. As a weapon cultivator, Li Haoran had no chance against Lu Yang in close combat.

In close combat, only top-tier physical cultivators like Meng Jingzhou and Confucian cultivators like Man Gu can consistently overpower Lu Yang.

Li Haoran reacted quickly, knowing he couldn't fight the Arhat Fist head-on, so he directly tore off his two arms from under his armpits, temporarily refining them into Law Treasure, and smashed them at Lu Yang.

Bang bang bang!

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of blows. Unfortunately, this hastily crafted physical Law Treasure was no match for the Arhat Fist, and Li Haoran was sent flying.

The good news is that Li Haoran's hair is a wig and won't fall out.

"A sixteen-foot-tall golden body!"

Lu Yang gave a soft shout, and his golden body descended from the sky, steadily covering Li Haoran.

"Planting a tree creates clones!"

Lu Yang burrowed into the soil, and the seed sprouted, growing into two Lu Yang.

"The rest is up to you."

Lu Yang and his clone high-fived. The clone nodded, then burrowed into the soil like an earth dragon, rapidly approaching Li Haoran from underground.

"Earth Escape!" Li Haoran remained calm. He didn't know how to shrink the earth, but he did know the Earth Escape technique.

The Zhangliu Golden Body has this shortcoming: there is no seal underground, and those who can escape can escape.

At this moment, Lu Yang's clone arrived from underground and drew a circle around the sixteen-foot-tall golden statue.

"Draw a dungeon."

The area beneath the sixteen-foot-tall golden statue became a dungeon, blocking Li Haoran's escape route, forcing Li Haoran to crawl out.

From then on, the sixteen-foot-tall golden statue was flawless.

Li Haoran snorted coldly, "I'd like to see what a clone can do to me!"

Lu Yang's clone emerged from the soil and entered the sixteen-foot-tall golden body.

Li Haoran's arm transformed, becoming as white as jade, and with a soft "plop," it pierced through Lu Yang's clone.

Lu Yang's clone was completely unaffected, as if the body wasn't his own.

"A universe hidden in a sleeve"

He stretched out his right hand, and a continuous stream of lake water gushed from Lu Yang's clone's palm, instantly filling the sixteen-foot-tall golden body.

"Impossible! Your hidden space in your sleeve stores water, it's not connected to the lake. You're just a newly created clone, when did you absorb water...?"

Li Haoran was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered that Lu Yang had high-fived his clone.

Presumably, Lu Yang had already stored water in his palm before the battle began, and then transferred the water to his clone during the high-five.

I was careless!

"Water-splitting technique!"

In the blink of an eye, the lake water that had filled the sixteen-foot-tall golden body disappeared, turning into hydrogen and oxygen!

With a bird's cry, golden flames flashed past inside the sixteen-foot-tall golden body, and the massive explosion even caused cracks to appear inside the body.

"Wow, Lu Yang's move is quite powerful." Meng Jingzhou was surprised. He understood the principle that the smaller the space of the explosion, the greater the power.

"Not only that, the two gases that Senior Brother Lu decomposed also seem to have contributed to the explosion," Tao Yaoye said seriously. A Golden Bird True Flame shouldn't produce such an exaggerated explosion; there must be other factors involved.

"This must be the combination of the five elements Law Technique that the Transmission Elder mentioned." Man Gu exclaimed in amazement. The sixteen-foot golden body, the wood clone, the water splitting technique, the true fire, and the earth shrinking technique—all five Law Techniques were complete.

Lu Yang removed his sixteen-foot-tall golden body, revealing only two charred corpses.

"Junior Brother Li, stop acting. I saw you use Law Technique to run away just now," Lu Yang said with a smile. He had been paying attention to the movements of the sixteen-foot golden body the whole time.

Just before the explosion, Li Haoran used Law Technique similar to teleportation to switch the positions of his clone and his real body.

He had long ago used his Divine Sense to discover that there was a clone of Li Haoran buried underground, presumably secretly preparing to plot against him. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to use it, and instead it became a way to save his life.

Thump!

A muffled thud came from behind Lu Yang, Li Haoran emerged from the ground.

"What terrifying power." Li Haoran was still shaken. He knew that this was only because Lu Yang had held back. Otherwise, he would have been met not by one Golden Bird True Flame, but by several Golden Bird True Flames plus Samadhi True Fire.

"Want to continue?" Lu Yang turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Of course I'll fight..." Li Haoran wasn't going to admit defeat, but he suddenly felt a little dazed, staggered, and almost fell.

"Poisoning... wait, what is this?"

Li Haoran noticed something was wrong with his body and could no longer fight, but he hadn't felt any poison inhalation at all.

What's going on?

"Junior Brother Li, do you know that although vital energy is an essential gas for the survival of living beings, you should not know that inhaling too much vital energy is actually bad, and may cause dizziness, chest tightness and other reactions."

"From the very beginning of the battle, I have been using the Water Separation Technique to break down all the moisture in the air into light and vital energy. As the vital energy content increases, you naturally become unable to keep up."

"Junior Brother Li, if you observe more closely, you'll notice that I've been holding my breath the whole time."

"So, do you still want to fight?"

"I surrender."
