Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Phoenix Perching on the Parasol Tree Guiding Technique
Xu Yanmo made his move, flapping his six wings at the sa ti, reaching peak speed instantly, rushing toward Zheng Shude with blazing light flas.
This strike was even more powerful than any one he had unleashed against Lan Xuanyu that day. Because this ti, Xu Yanmo hadn’t been worn out yet, he erupted with full power from the start.
How could Zheng Shude resist? In terms of cultivation, he indeed was not a match for Xu Yanmo. Even with Lan Xuanyu’s wisdom, he didn’t believe Zheng Shude had any good thods to counter Xu Yanmo’s attack. Once Xu Yanmo, with his level of cultivation, locked onto an opponent, there would be no mistakes. From the total amount of Dragon Power, he also held a clear advantage.
But just then, the smile on Zheng Shude’s face beca even more intense. By now, the trunks he unleashed had covered a diater of a hundred ters, still growing wildly, frantically absorbing the light elent. It was as if he was completely indifferent to the fatal strike that was imminent.
The fierce light flas were closing in, with flas starting to arise at the tops of those big trees. Light not only nourishes vegetation and enables photosynthesis but when it transforms into flas, it can also cause trendous destruction.
However, just at this mont, suddenly, at the far end of the forest, a large tree underwent a transformation. In an instant, it turned a verdant green, radiating a dazzling green glow. A rich aura of life and so special fluctuations spread out instantly in a halo of light.
Having co within tens of ters of Zheng Shude, almost on the brink of striking him in the next instant, the six-winged silhouette unexpectedly turned in mid-air without any warning, pouncing towards that verdant green tree.
With that fierce turn, the light flas in the air twisted along. Lan Xuanyu even heard a muffled grunt from Xu Yanmo.
Clearly, this was not his intention! What was happening?
In the next instant, the massive light flas carried by the six-winged figure had already harshly collided with the distant green tree, the violent boom causing the entire Ascending Dragon Platform to tremble slightly. Many nearby trees turned to ash within the light flas. However, in other directions, the trees were rapidly spreading further out. The dense light elent in the air only managed to destroy trees within a certain range of the explosion, but a large amount of the light elent was absorbed by the other trees.
“Phoenix Tree, Guiding Wood.” Qi Tianlong’s words resolved the confusion in Lan Xuanyu’s heart.
“All flying creatures, they will be affected. This is one of Zheng Shude’s secret techniques, not widely known. It’s the perfect counter to Xu Yanmo,” Qi Tianlong explained to Lan Xuanyu.
Such an unusual way of combat, indeed, as Qi Tianlong said, Zheng Shude really had a significant restraining effect on Xu Yanmo!
And just at this mont, Xu Yanmo appeared to realize the problem. Golden flas rekindled, and this ti, he ran wildly on the ground, the fierce golden light flas scorching the trees as he moved straight ahead, charging toward Zheng Shude.
The distance between the two swiftly closed, and when Xu Yanmo approached Zheng Shude, suddenly, all the trees turned to dust and silently vanished. Zheng Shude’s humanoid body then swelled to three tis its size, and a huge fist rcilessly blasted out.
“Boom!”
The terrifying collision erupted instantly, Zheng Shude’s body ignited by the light flas, but Xu Yanmo was sent flying backward, smashing heavily into the boundaries of the Ascending Dragon Platform.
The light faded from Zheng Shude’s body, as if absorbed by him, and at the sa ti, tree trunks rapidly grew outwards from him once again.
Xu Yanmo struggled to get up from the ground, his face filled with gravity, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze icy as he watched the rapidly growing trees.
Facing Zheng Shude’s guiding technique, he couldn’t attack his opponent from the air through flight. On the ground, his attacks were sure to be affected by the trees. The worst part was that Zheng Shude kept absorbing the light elent he summoned to strengthen himself. That very last strike was proof enough. His opponent, inferior in cultivation, had absorbed a large amount of his own light elent to unleash an attack far stronger than normal, instantly wounding Xu Yanmo.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yanmo’s eyes suddenly brightened, he lifted his head to emit a spirited dragon roar, his figure instantly grew, transforming into a Huge Golden Dragon gleaming with an incandescent white light.
The golden dragon, like a giant destroying brittle wood, tore through the surrounding trees, with columns of golden light rising from his body into the sky. These beams of light converged in the air, voraciously absorbing the light elent from the atmosphere. After all, he was the master of the light elent, and his absorption imdiately slowed down the rate at which the forest below was absorbing.
Zheng Shude’s brows furrowed slightly as he emitted a brilliant green light and let out a long, lingering dragon roar. In the next instant, his feet took root, and he himself transford into a giant tree that soared skywards, instantly becoming a colossal tree hundreds of ters tall, vying for the light elent in the air.
anwhile, the huge golden dragon, with six wings on its back, charged directly toward him, ramming everything in its path.
Thick vines covered with dragon scales swung wildly, lashing out at the huge golden dragon. The golden dragon spewed out luminous flas from its mouth, incinerating everything around it as it fought with the giant tree.
After an initial probing, both sides had found what they believed to be the most suitable way to counteract each other.
The entire competition arena was filled with dragon power, plunging the place into a state of chaotic darkness!
This was the final stage of the Ascending Dragon Competition; from the very first match, it had entered an intense phase.
Xu Yanmo no longer cared about the trees growing around him, letting them absorb the light elents, while the golden orbs forming in the sky would fall like teors upon completion, bombing only Zheng Shude’s true body.
Every golden orb was a light elent bomb. Under intense explosions, Zheng Shude’s leaves withered. Although he could replenish himself with other trees around him, the continuous bombardnt and destruction were getting stronger and stronger. And that was without counting the relentless attack from Xu Yanmo’s true form.
“The difference in cultivation is still there. Just a bit short.” Qi Tianlong comnted lightly.
Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, “The outco has been decided.”
Indeed, the outco was clear. Without a doubt, Zheng Shude’s tactics were successful, but in terms of cultivation, there was a significant gap between him and Xu Yanmo. Xu Yanmo’s ferocious attacks targeted his true body, combined with his control over the light elent. Ultimately, it was pure suppression that caused Zheng Shude’s true body to wither away. If their levels of cultivation had been comparable, the outco might have been different.
When Zheng Shude finally chose to concede, Xu Yanmo reverted to his human form, his face pale and his body wavering as if about to fall, clearly having exhausted himself to the limit.
In the first match of the knockout round, Xu Yanmo erged victorious, becoming the first contestant to enter the top fifteen.
“In the final stage, the knockout round’s first battle of the second match, contestants number three and four, please enter the arena.” As the judge announced, Lan Xuanyu was surprised to see Qi Tianlong standing up next to him.
Then Qi Tianlong turned to Lan Xuanyu with a wry smile, “You’re not number four, are you?”
Lan Xuanyu shook his head, and a smile appeared on Qi Tianlong’s lips, “That’s good.” After saying that, he walked towards the area.
It wasn’t until Qi Tianlong entered the competition arena that Bai Xiuxiu, who had been silent next to Lan Xuanyu, leaned into his ear and whispered, “You really are a ladies’ man! He obviously has an interest in you!”
Lan Xuanyu replied with a wry smile, “What flowers? Only grass.”
Bai Xiuxiu snorted, “Forget about flowers, but not the grass.”
“I dare not, not even flowers. I only have you,” Lan Xuanyu replied righteously through telepathy, his survival instincts kicking in.
