Sure enough.
The next moment.
The collapsed temple exploded with a thunderous crash, scattering countless fragments of stone.
The Stone God appeared once more, the Black Dragon Halberd still embedded in his forehead.
"Human... it seems I must let you witness my true power."
The Stone God's indistinct features twisted as he slammed his hands together before his chest.
Immediately, his gray-white stone skin began to mutate wildly, taking on a jade-like texture. Sharp spikes sprouted along both his arms.
Whoosh!!!
The Stone God actually began spinning in place.
His rotation accelerated madly, forming a humanoid tornado that charged savagely toward Lu Mian.
The terrifying wind pressure generated by the Stone God's rotation whipped Lu Mian's hair about.
"Now this is more interesting."
The Ghost Eye in Lu Mian's forehead slowly closed.
Against the Stone God, the Ghost Eye was of little use.
He did not even take the Baleful Flame Heavy Saber out of his Storage Ring. Facing that raging humanoid tornado, he merely stretched his muscles and settled into an unusual fighting stance.
"Burning Wind: Starburst!"
Lu Mian roared, his entire body like a fully drawn bowstring, his right arm the arrow nocked upon it!
As he unleashed all his strength, his right fist erupted with earth-shattering power and punched out hard.
Boom!!!
The force generated by the Stone God's rotation was too ferocious. Even with all his power gathered, Lu Mian could not withstand it. His figure became a blur once more as he was sent flying.
Only after smashing through more than a dozen stone pillars did Lu Mian finally come to a stop.
"Cough, cough..."
"You're a little stronger than I expected."
Blood seeped from the corner of Lu Mian's mouth, but he grinned.
"Be destroyed."
The Stone God spoke in a lofty, imperious voice.
