Chapter 225: Synergistic Techniques
Li Lang quickly huddled with Long Yi in the center of the Skyrunner. They knew tough enemies had appeared, and the best thing they could do was stay out of their allies’ way.
“Should we jump down?” Long Yi whispered.
Their vehicle was currently suspended in mid-air by the roots that had suddenly sprouted all over them. Their friend, Wei Ping, had even fallen off to the ground. It made the question easy for Li Lang to answer.
“Yes, do it.”
The two discreetly moved over to the edge. The four ambushers were still approaching them from four different directions, so it was inevitable that their actions would be noticed, but they didn’t care. Instead, these assailants had their full attention on the two Nightmoon Valley cultivators.
The two didn’t dawdle and jumped from the roof of the Skyrunner. However, the cultivators around them took that as a signal to strike!
Two of the four assailants were even devious enough to target Li Lang and Long Yi instead. It made them grit their teeth as they summoned their weapons, ready to defend themselves.
Their efforts turned out to be needless, as a familiar figure materialized in front of them and dragged them back onto the roof of the Skyrunner. Ma Kong had appeared at lightning speed! Then the darkness came. It consumed everything in the area within a second and continued to expand. It didn’t subside like before, trapping everyone within the lightless domain.
“Don’t move,” Ma Kong’s voice called out to Li Lang and Long Yi. “These four are different. We can’t have you running around or they’ll use you against us.”
He then turned his attention back to his enemies and sliced out the air before him with a knife-hand. The light shone through the darkness with much higher intensity than before. It didn’t subside right away either, and two cries could be heard in the distance.
“Is this the seniors getting serious?” Li Lang pondered. “Their techniques seem to synergize, growing stronger in each other’s presence.”
“Li Lang, is it really the time to be analyzing right now?”
