Chapter 855: Yu Jiang (II)
The Merging Fire on Li Qinghong’s body lost its mana source and dimmed slightly. She swung her spear and forcibly extinguished it, though her chest still felt slightly stifled. The Merging Fire on her mana shield continued to burn fiercely.
She freed her hand to form a seal, and the Sixfold Profound Thunder Punishment Tokens instantly retracted to form a barrier between the Merging Fire and her Dharma robe. The purple lightning waterfall condensed for two seconds before slowly dissipating.
Guo Hongjian stumbled out, covered in dust, and coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, which transformed into lightning and drifted away. He spat bitterly, “What formidable thunder arts... what spell art is this from...”
Li Qinghong withdrew her mana. The Sixfold Profound Thunder Punishment Tokens were arrayed in front of her, shielding her from the Merging Fire. Sure enough, the Merging Fire struggled to burn through the dharma artifact and weakened from having nothing else to consume.
She let out a quiet sigh and thought to herself, Indeed, it is as sturdy as ancient dharma artifacts...
The Sixfold Profound Thunder Punishment Tokens had a long history and were crafted long ago. Although they weren’t as indestructible as Li Encheng’s Water Wall Pearl, which could even serve as a defensive dharma artifact in its base form, they were still extremely strong. Guo Hongjian’s Merging Fire was not enough to trouble them.
One often suffered from internal reverberations in battles involving thunder arts. After taking a hit from Profound Thunder, Guo Hongjian’s core was shaken, and he had no choice but to pause and recuperate. He could only watch helplessly as his spell was neutralized.
He stared heavily at her and thought, She’s rather troublesome... Since I can’t take her down immediately... it’s inevitable that other devil cultivators might gather...
The two were now in a brief stalemate. Li Qinghong also scanned the demonic smoke. Suddenly she froze, and together with Guo Hongjian, turned to look into the depths of the black smoke. A wild wind swept by, revealing a pair of black boots as a young man emerged.
