What is this ... thunder?
Xiao Tianyi casually waved his hand, and the sky above was filled with continuous thunderclaps. The lightning flashed continuously from the sky, and everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but be startled.
Ning Xin had just said that she had once fought with Xiao Tianyi, but she had never seen him use such a technique. Thunder is a rare thing, and it is every practitioner's nightmare.
Among the three thousand roads of cultivation, those who can harness thunder are few and far between. Until now, only the master's sect's experts are known to be able to command thunder. With a single hand, their Qiu Xiao thunder technique leaves all other cultivators in the world unable to raise their heads, firmly establishing the supreme status of the Master's Mansion.
However, the thunder technique is a martial arts skill, and it seems to be different from what Xiao Tianyi is using at the moment. It's not like a manifestation of spiritual power, but rather like a natural force.
Witch, practicing the way of thunder.
That guy, he's not just a sorcerer, but also a witch... He, he actually...
Ning Xin's eyes widened in disbelief at that moment. She had already placed the other party on a list of those she could not fight against, feeling their sorcerer identity. Now, with the additional title of witch for their thunder magic ability, it might be even harder to deal with.
Not to mention the three of them joining forces, even if the third-grade Pei Jiangnan were here, he might not be a match for that guy.
Li Yueyue looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, his eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and he retreated two steps in fear.
"Focus on dealing with your enemies. Leave this guy to me and don't make it any harder for me."
Chen Mo faced away from the two women, but his tone was devoid of any trace of panic. The two women, who had been flustered moments ago, noticed the confidence in his voice and nodded quickly. As the man who used fine threads took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, they charged towards him in response.
The battle has entered a stalemate.
"Your companions already know of my terrible power, but you seem unaware. Is it because you truly have confidence, or are you just pretending to be strong? Or perhaps, you are like a young ox not afraid of tigers?"
Xiao Tianyi coldly stared at Chen Mo and calmly spoke a sentence.
"I know your abilities, thunder sorcerer and witch, and a dual cultivator. Are you convinced that your curses are powerful?"
"Try it."
Xiao Tianyi laughed lightly, his index finger of the right hand hooking upwards. Suddenly, a lightning rod flashed in the air and plummeted downwards with a loud crackling sound, striking Chen Mo's head in an instant.
In the next moment, Chen Mo's figure was like lightning, appearing before Xiao Tianyi in an instant. His speed was so fast that even Xiao Tianyi didn't have time to react. His eyes were round with surprise, and he retreated reflexively.
However, he was still a step behind. Chen Mo's fist was already closing in.
Just as he was about to be hit, Xiao Tianyi's lips curved into a slight smile, revealing a mysterious and intriguing expression on his face.
"Crack." It happened quickly.
Chen Mo's fist had already landed on Xiao Tianyi's chest. The powerful attack broke the air and made a loud boom. But as soon as the attack landed, Chen Mo retreated and was thrown backwards, crashing through several trees before coming to a stop.
Chen Mo lay on the broken stump, wiping the blood spat from his mouth, and looked up at the front. He saw Xiao Tianyi's face with a mocking smile and unscathed.
Looking at himself, his chest had sunk in, as if hit by a heavy hammer. His chest felt dull and thick, and the blood taste was strong in his throat.
"Mayfly attempting to shake a tree; overestimating one's abilities."
Xiao Tianyi coldly laughed and said, "I admit that your strength does indeed surpass my expectations. However, you have chosen the wrong opponent. You should be able to handle ordinary fourth-grade cultivators, but against me, you can't."
Chen Mo wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and then slowly stood up. Although he was severely injured at his back, he smiled faintly on his face. "So-called sorcerers are those who initiate spells to attack their enemies. So-called spells are nothing but curses. Ordinary sorcerers can only play a supportive role... However, your spell is very special and can retaliate against those who attack you..."
"No, more accurately speaking, any attack against your enemies will be returned by your spell, and you will be unharmed. In this regard, your spell can be considered an absolute defense."
Xiao Tianyi nodded slightly in acknowledgment, greatly appreciating Chen Mo's analysis of his abilities. He could guess so much from just one punch, which is enough to show that the person in front of him is far from simple.
"I recognize the absolute defense you're talking about, but I'm not just an absolute defense. I also have the strongest lightning strike. Don't think you managed to dodge it before; you can still dodge it now."
Xiao Tianyi coldly laughed, and with a gentle movement of his index finger, the sky shone with a series of lightning flashes again.
Chen Mo kicked off the ground. On the ground, a palm-sized pebble rose into the air instantly and was snatched up by him. Afterward, he lightly threw the pebble in his hand.
Xiao Tianyi saw this and furrowed his brow, "Don't you think you can hurt me just by staying away from me? Hah, that woman attacked me like that earlier, but guess what? She was all cut up with knives..."
"Whether I can hurt you, let's see."
Chen Mo smiled faintly, and suddenly stopped his movements in his hand. At this moment, Xiao Tianyi's expression turned serious, and he pointed his finger, causing several beams of lightning to suddenly fall down.
Chen Mo threw the stone from his hand at the same time, and in the next moment, his figure vanished, dodging the thunderous attack from above.
Xiao Tianyi's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Chen Mo would expand the range of attack but still couldn't harm him. It seems he can only rely on spells now...
Crack
A crisp sound came, and Xiao Tianyi felt his feet weaken. Then, as if liquid was flowing, he looked down to find that his right foot had been pierced through by the stone thrown by Chen Mo earlier.
"Your spell is indeed a good thing. It can bounce back to its source, regardless of whether it's a remote attack. However, things that can trace their origins back to their source are powered by spiritual energy. Any objects with spiritual energy attached to them can bounce back according to the source of the spiritual energy."
"Ning Xin uses qi martial arts, and each move has spiritual energy attached to it, which is why she couldn't hurt you. But as for me, I used brute force... That's why your spell didn't trace back to its source and hurt me."
Chen Mo appeared beside Xiao Tianyi, and he held a stone in his hand again, which he had somehow acquired. With a smile, he stared at the latter, "Alas, you're only a fourth-grade sorcerer and can only trace back to the source through spiritual energy. If you were a third-grade sorcerer, you could trace back to the source through the target of your attack. Even if I used brute force, your spell would still bounce back."
As soon as the words were spoken, Chen Mo's stone suddenly flew out and pierced through Xiao Tianyi's other foot, causing blood to flow out. Due to the loss of strength in both feet, he fell to the ground.
Chen Mo took a step towards Xiao Tianyi, picking up a stone along the way as he went. "It's time to end it now."
Xiao Tianyi struggled to lift his head, staring at Chen Mo with a fierce expression. "Chen Sanzang, this time it's me who lost. However, you shouldn't get too excited too soon. If you dare to disrupt our plan again, I will make sure you die a very painful death."
"Ranting"
Chen Mo gripped the stone tightly, ready to throw it out, when Xiao Tianyi's body suddenly shimmered with blue light and then vanished without a trace in an instant.
