Chapter 78: What’s Taking Them So Long
The centurion let out an imperious grunt and covered his whole body in mystic energy, preparing himself to withstand the Dao spell head on. Human cultivators were feeble, whereas centurions possessed a great reservoir of mystic energy and wore heavy armor. The spell of an ordinary Dao Foundation stage cultivator would at most inflict a small wound on him.
A pair of cyclones appeared on from his left and right, spinning fist-sized rocks at high speed and pelting them against his body. At the same time, a lump of watery blue exploded in front of his mount and unleashed a shower of water blades at its head. The startled warhorse hurriedly lifted its forelegs into the air and blocked the rest of the water blades with its chest armor. Finally, a jar-sized meteor appeared in the sky and fell straight toward the centurion’s head.
Although the centurion’s vision was still blurry, it took him little effort to shoot the meteor falling toward his head into pieces. Out of the four Dao spells, only the meteor in the sky posed some threat. The rest were nuisances at most. He let out an uproarious laugh and roared, “Doesn’t hurt, doesn’t tickle!”
Meanwhile, Wei Yuan was leaping off his horse and locking his gaze on the two hundred merit points less than fifty zhang away from him. He ran a couple steps before throwing his long spear forward with all his might!
The reason he leaped off his mount before throwing his spear was simple: the reactive force was completely beyond his warhorse’s ability to endure.
The spear flew like a dragon and punched through the centurion’s flank in an instant. It had only lost a little speed when it emerged from the other side, causing the centurion’s body to abruptly explode in a shower of blood and gore. It was a blow that had nearly emptied half of his body!
Straining, the centurion slowly looked down until he saw the horrifying wound on his body clearly. Then, he collapsed to the ground just like that.
Wei Yuan had not employed any Dao energy to throw the spear. It was a blow fueled by physical strength only. Besides that, the centurion was still recovering his vision and was distracted by the Dao spells. Thus, he failed to dodge before it was too late.
This was the first time Wei Yuan and Lee Zhi had cooperated with each other. When Lee Zhi noticed that his comrade was sneakily approaching the centurion, he decided to withstand the next few arrows head on and blind his opponent with a Sunburst spell. Right on cue, Wei Yuan fired off several Dao spells while mimicking the strength of an ordinary Dao Foundation stage cultivator. Although the attack was too weak to do any real damage, it tricked the centurion into lowering his guard thinking that the surprise attack was over. More importantly, it made him ignore Wei Yuan, who wasn’t at the Dao Foundation stage yet.
