Chapter 220: Elemental Superiority
With Li Lang clearing away from the scene, Long Yi was left to face the oncoming beetle-type Qi beast alone. It left him frowning. He could barely make out its figure in the distance, but it had the power to snipe him from range!
The two Nightmoon Valley disciples had also distanced themselves, so the beast naturally focused its next attack on Long Yi. Another stream of unidentified liquids shot forth across the mountain range. It traveled so fast that Long Yi could barely react despite expecting it.
He dove low toward the ground, but the attack unexpectedly followed his course! He never expected a Qi beast to exert such precise control at such a distance. He reflexively summoned his green broadsword and cast his Terra Moon Slash to intercept the attack. Although it was only a rushed move, the flurry of stone managed to disperse the stream of viscous liquid. If one was watching carefully, one could even see that some of the liquids had been absorbed into the Terra Moon Slash.
“Hmm, is that elemental affinity at work?” Li Lang muttered.
It wasn’t the first time Li Lang witnessed a fight at this level. He had firsthand experience from the incident where he had been ambushed just around these mountain ranges. However, during that incident, the two parties involved employed techniques of the metal affinity and the earth affinity.
According to the destructive cycle of the five elements, the metal element was overcome by fire, but it could overcome wood. As it had neither advantages nor disadvantages against the earth element, nothing notable could be observed in the previous fight.
However, the same couldn’t be said for the current fight. The water element is overcome by the earth element. When two Qi attacks of these natures collided, the upper hand leaned toward the earth element. The distance also likely had a part in it, but the elemental advantage still allowed Long Yi’s makeshift move to overcome the beetle’s.
“This is a good matchup,” a feminine voice resounded from above the Skyrunner. “That Qi beast should have recently broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but the elemental affinity should make it more even. It seems we won’t have to intervene anytime soon.”
“Isn’t it s-still a little dangerous to allow someone with s-so little combat experience to fight against a beast with a h-higher cultivation?”
Li Lang nodded at Wei Ping’s words.
