Chapter 1093: Might of the Halberd Commander (II)
Li Zhouwei had always faced a disadvantage in his battles against the Capital Immortal Dao. The reputation of the Bright Yang Dao lineage was too well known, and any cultivator with a Dao lineage inheritance understood that Radiant Essence restrained Bright Yang. Guan Gongxiao had even prepared a Radiant Essence sandstorm for this purpose, and who knew what other trump cards.
But the Capital Guard Dao lineage was so ancient that many cultivators did not even know it existed, making its weaknesses difficult to exploit. Now that he had uncovered this truth, whether by dharma artifact or spell art, he would always have a countermeasure.
As that thought flashed through his mind, a dull thud rang out as the Da Sheng Halberd swung high. Li Zhouwei finally coughed up a mouthful of blood, while Radiant Light shimmered across his chest, and the scales of his Yuan'e armor shifted restlessly.
Yuan'e had been commissioned by Li Xuanfeng years ago, and forged with the full effort of the cultivators of the Azure Pond Sect. One of its functions was to assist Li Zhouwei in traversing with heavenly light, enhancing his footwork until it was ghostlike. Moments ago, when he had used heavenly light to move, it was thanks to both Flowing Sun Refraction and Yuan'e.
Yuan'e also had another function; it could enhance mana and resist spell arts. Except for spell arts based on Radiant Essence, all other spell arts striking the wearer would have their force distributed across the armor's six-thousand and two-hundred scales, granting them tremendous protection.
It was thanks to this armor that Li Zhouwei had escaped Fu Dou's grasp time and again.
Now, even after taking Guan Gongxiao's spell head-on, he merely spat out a mouthful of blood. That pale blood rose into the air, spreading a strange peony-like fragrance. When he saw Li Zhouwei injured, Guan Gongxiao secretly sighed in relief but then noticed a dark mountain rising in the sky.
"Someone from Profound Peak Gate has fallen!"
Li Zhouwei had noticed it even sooner. It wasn't merely that someone from Profound Peak Gate had fallen; two guest cultivators had already been grievously wounded and been forced to retreat. His own forces had dwindled to twelve, all of them injured. Fu Yuezi and Cui Jueyin were barely holding the line, each struggling to restrain four opponents, and were only just managing to keep the situation from collapsing.
The Capital Immortal Dao had yet to suffer any serious injuries...
Just then, thunder roared across the heavens, silver ripples spreading as crackling lightning surged into view. Li Chenghui rode the thunder as he fought two opponents while advancing. Cui Jueyin, glancing up from below, finally understood why Li Chenghui had been so delayed.
"The Capital Immortal Dao has more people intercepting him!"
