C256 Temporary Withdrawal
Somewhere in the forest, a golden-colored, long-haired youth with a head of deep blue colored flames was walking step by step towards the man who was a level higher than him.
Although the blue-haired youth's aura was very calm, his gem-like blue eyes were still filled with rage, as though they had already been corroded by it.
This blue-haired, black-clothed youth was the one who had temporarily broken through to the Second Stage of Hell, Ling Yunfan, due to his extreme anger. The other middle-aged man was the one who had forced him into a corner, the Illusionary Sky Painting.
"Even if your strength has increased, you are still no match for me. However, I promise you that you will first use all of my strength. After that, you will die with satisfaction."
Even in the face of Ling Yun Fan, whose strength had greatly increased, the Illusionary Flash still did not put him in his eyes at all. He looked at him with disdain as he spoke.
Although he appeared to be extremely arrogant at the moment, in reality, it was indeed as he had said. Even if he had the second stage of Hell's Fighting state to increase his strength, he was still unable to contend against it. If he were to fight with just his own strength, it was likely that he would be overpowered in a single move.
Actually, the current Lingyun Fan did not want to fight head on with him. He was thinking about how to stall the opponent and bring the heavily injured Qiu Yimin away.
As Qiu Yiming's injuries were too serious, if she didn't receive the treatment soon, some unimaginable consequences would occur. Thus, the priority was not how to defeat her opponent, but how to escape from the hands of a Transcendent Mortal expert.
"Since that's the case, you can take it."
Immediately after, Ling Yun Fan, who had stopped in his tracks, politely spoke to the other party. He held the illusion sword that was filled with pure white lightning and scarlet flames and appeared in front of him, continuously absorbing the spirit energy that he released.
"Hmph..." Towards the attack that was currently being prepared by Ling Yunfan, the Shadow Sky Painting still gave a cold snort of contempt, and stood still, unmoving, and quietly waited.
After all, he was a powerhouse surpassing the mortal realm. It would be too embarrassing if he had to use defensive methods to receive the attacks of a member of the younger generation who was only at the third level of the Martial God Realm. That was why he chose to do nothing.
However, he was wrong in his thoughts, because right now, Lingyun was the one with the highest power out of all of his Secret Skills. In addition to his current body transformation, although it could not be of much use to people in the Transcending Mortality Stage, it should at least be able to catch them off guard, allowing him to take the opportunity to escape with Qiu Yimin.
Not long after, the lightning and fire energies on the Sword of Illusion that were originally in the shape of a giant sword suddenly radiated outwards, forming a Thunder Flame Dragon that coiled around the sword. The dragon that appeared from the illusion was abnormally lifelike, and it even emitted a pressure and beast cry that belonged to a demon beast.
As the power grew more and more powerful, the surrounding earth also began to tremble. Violent winds also began to blow unceasingly at this moment.
"Oh …" "It really is quite complicated."
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of astonishment appeared in the Ying Tian Painting's eyes. It was clear that it felt that the method Ling Yun Fan was preparing was somewhat unexpected.
"Receive my attack!"
After the huge flood dragon's body was completely materialized, Ling Yunfan's eyes flashed with a ruthless light. Both of his hands gathered a large amount of spiritual energy to send it into the illusion sword, and he used all of his strength to push it out.
"Awoo..." Afterwards, the Thunder Fire Drake that appeared once more let out a terrifying roar, while the enormous Thunder Fire Mirage Sword gave off a scorching wind as it charged towards the Shadow Sky Painting.
"Come." Facing Ling Yunfan's most powerful attack, Ying Tian stretched out his right hand in front of him, trying to block it with his right hand.
"Bam!"
"Un, hmph …" As his hand collided with the enormous sword wrapped around the Thunder Fire Drake, a large explosion occurred. The unimaginably high temperature flame was released without restraint, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely buried a distance of tens of kilometers. At the same time, the Shadow Sky Painting also suffered a loss from the explosion.
Seeing this, facing the remnant power of his Secret Skill, Lingyun did not have no choice but to release a barrier of Spiritual Energy to protect his body. Using his fastest speed, he arrived in front of Qiu Yiming, who had fainted from his injuries, and stopped releasing his Spiritual Energy.
Immediately, the battle state of the Second Hell returned to its normal state. After that, in order to escape this place as soon as possible and not be discovered by the heavenly Shadow Painting behind him, it chose to give up flying on land and run at its fastest speed.
Flying required the consumption of spiritual energy, and this would be detected by the Transcending Mortality Stage Shadowart. With his cultivation, it wouldn't be long before he could catch up to Lingyun and finish everything. Thus, the only effective way to escape was on foot.
Just like that, he carried Qiu Yimin's slightly burning body and continued to rush forward.
After a long while, the fire finally died down. The Heavenly Shadow Painting looked at his scarred hand with a dark expression.
After that, he released his spirit energy to sense around. After discovering that his target, Lingyun, had disappeared, his gloomy face looked as if it was on fire.
"Little trash, the next time we meet, I will definitely tear you into a thousand pieces." After searching for a while, he realized that he could no longer find any trace of Lingyun Fan's aura. Even the Shadow Sky Painting roared furiously at the sky.
At that moment, he was extremely regretful that he had had to underestimate Ling Yun Fan and give him a chance to make a move. If he had made a move now, he might have already killed him, and he wouldn't have let a mere Martial God Stage Level 3 junior injure him.2
Even though it was just a normal injury, according to the healing ability of a Transcending Mortality Stage expert, he would be able to completely recover in a few minutes. However, this injury was a huge humiliation to him, and if others were to find out that his own strength was far inferior to theirs, they would not be able to go out and meet them.
