Chapter 590: 587. Who says we’ll definitely lose? At this moment, Long Ke still held the Dragon Beard in her hand.
Situ Xiuneng secretly speculated that the short Dragon Beard that had been thrown out earlier was probably the Vein Technique.
Given its lethality, it could never be allowed to be thrown out when the opponent was close enough, otherwise even if he had a weapon to block, it would be too late.
Therefore, she absolutely must not conceal herself again.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Three sounds of Vibrating Vein Sound echoed.
The surrounding Fire Wall suddenly rose a bit higher, and the countless tiny fiery threads suddenly became thicker and more numerous. If just now it was like a dense drizzle, at this moment it was a torrential downpour. Each fiery thread, as it passed or collided with Long Ke’s body, would emit a clanging sound, as if an Iron Sword had struck a Shield.
Although the Crimson Spirit Body was currently protecting her, Long Ke discovered a major problem.
Since she threw out a Killing Technique once, she changed direction, trying to conceal herself.
However, her Vein Technique couldn’t withstand for even three breaths before being cracked by the surrounding fiery threads, her body once again exposed to the opponent’s eyes.
Then, Long Ke repeatedly tried several times.
All without exception ended in failure!
This Third Mechanism Realm of Thousand Leaps, unintentionally restrained her Dragon Scale Spike Vein Technique.
Without entering a state of concealment to fully charge the Dragon Scale Spike, it lacked significant lethality, and with Situ Xiuneng using weapons, at most, it could just push Situ Xiunen back a dozen steps like earlier.
But what’s the point of that?
"Must break through first!"
Long Ke quickly devised a plan to break the "Cage" in her mind, not only to better unleash the Dragon Scale Spike but also to avoid Situ Xiuneng’s attacks.
The thousands of fiery threads currently posed little harm to her Crimson Spirit Body but were feverishly consuming the Spirit Body’s energy, which was indeed unfavorable for the ongoing battle.
Moreover, as long as she broke through.
Even if the opponent possessed weapons to continuously counter her Dragon Scale Spike, she could guarantee it would make the opponent’s arms unable to lift.
As she was pondering, Situ Xiuneng’s voice came through.
"Can’t hide, can you?"
Long Ke replied defiantly, "Even without concealing myself, I can still kill you."
Situ Xiuneng laughed rather than got angry, saying, "Girl, I don’t know who taught you. But the fact that you’ve grown to this step indeed proves you have ability. However, your weaknesses are too apparent, cultivation time is too short, high Realm, high Spirit Body Realm, but the Vein Technique isn’t very proficient. Well, if at your age you had reached the peak in everything, that would be unfair."
Long Ke snorted coldly and said, "Don’t speak too soon, or you might not have the chance to take it back."
With that, Long Ke went at full power, charging toward the Fire Wall.
The intention was clear, she had to rush out of the Fire Wall and leave the area covered by the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill.
"Want to leave?"
Situ Xiuneng wouldn’t give that chance.
Alongside three sounds of Vibrating Vein Sound, Fire Vine appeared again, accompanied by thousands of fiery threads attacking Long Ke.
Although Fire Vine was Second Mechanism Realm, it wasn’t weak. Compared to the steady flow of Third Mechanism Realm, it focused more on explosiveness, which was more useful at this moment.
If Long Ke wanted to charge out, then he would use Fire Vine to smack her back!
Bam!
Dozens of Fire Vines instantaneously lashed at Long Ke’s previous position.
Though Long Ke dodged, the dozens of remaining Fire Vines were still pursuing her, like long snakes that wouldn’t relent without food.
...
As the battle went hot and heavy, those watching above the Main Hall wore worried expressions.
Elder Zhao was at a disadvantage.
The crowd was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Why doesn’t Elder Zhao use Magic?
"Sword Control Skill, indeed!"
"Elder Zhao recently only cultivated in Wind Valley; the trial of Wind’s Shackles is still missing the last stone gate, Hurricane Skill hasn’t broken the last wind eye, Wind Demon is yet to be slightly defeated. All just nearly... she definitely wants to, but must master it first."
As everyone discussed, Yang Lele spoke up.
"Elder Zi, is there still hope in this battle?"
Accompanied by everyone’s eager gaze, Zi Ran shook his head, "Elder Zhao realized she’s at a disadvantage in the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill, so she wants to break out. But Situ Xiuneng won’t give her the chance... Just watch, there’s still the Fourth Mechanism Realm. Then, with the Vein Technique, long spear, and Meridian Gate all working together, Elder Zhao’s defeat isn’t far."
Zhantian Qingxuan hastily added, "Then let’s just end the battle early."
If Elder Zhao lost, it would tarnish the reputation of the Immortal Sect.
Everyone turned their eyes to Wen Ping.
