Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Lin Ruolan’s Instant Kill
Xu Nian looked at the surging thunder around him, a trace of astonishment appearing on his face.
The Thunderclap Power of Zhou Tianming was indeed formidable. Judging by its intensity, it reached at least the Fifth-level of Profound Argumentation.
Currently, Xu Nian had only just comprehended the Third Level of Profound Argumentation in this world. Facing Zhou Tianming, who was at the Fifth-level, might truly be quite challenging.
However, Xu Nian wasn’t afraid. This was a perfect opportunity to hone his Dragon King Cone.
"Young man, I originally intended to let you die swiftly, but since you insist on opposing me, don’t blame me." Zhou Tianming sneered coldly.
With a grip of his hand, a Thunderclap Spear materialized in the void, gathering in his hand.
The spear emitted a terrifying wave, and if it even grazed an opponent, the horrifying Thunderclap Power would cause irrevocable damage to their body.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian’s mind stirred, and the Dragon King Cone floated before him.
The Wind Blades around the Dragon King Cone instantly unfolded, forming the first form of the Wind Blade Tornado.
"Hmph, even if you possess my second brother’s Dragon King Cone, how long have you had it? I’d like to see how you counter my Thunder Spear!" Zhou Tianming snorted coldly as he swiftly charged, spear in hand, toward Xu Nian.
His speed was incredibly fast, as if he were riding the thunder.
"So powerful! This guy is doomed. The alliance leader’s Thunder Spear is boundless in power; this lad absolutely cannot withstand it," someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The surrounding people, witnessing this scene, all believed Xu Nian was a goner.
Xu Nian, however, sneered and immediately activated the Wind Blade Tornado.
"Buzz!"
The Wind Blade Tornado swiftly shot out, blasting toward Zhou Tianming’s spear.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, creating a shockwave of energy that shook the heavens.
Everyone around was knocked back, astonishment etched in their eyes.
The Thunderclap Spear exploded, and Zhou Tianming was also sent flying.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, seemingly in disbelief that Xu Nian had shattered his Thunder Spear.
Xu Nian’s Dragon King Cone was also thrown back, nearly leaving his control.
Nevertheless, the backlash from the collision of the Thunder Spear’s impact still caused Xu Nian some degree of counter-injury.
"Indeed powerful! I must find a way to comprehend the second form," Xu Nian thought to himself.
"I didn’t expect you to have such mastery over the Dragon King Cone, surpassing even my brother. Since that’s the case, I won’t hold back anymore," Zhou Tianming snorted coldly.
In the next moment, three Thunderclap Spears formed before him.
The power of these three Thunderclap Spears only increased, not decreased, compared to the previous one.
"Huh?"
Xu Nian’s expression instantly changed, and he directly controlled the Dragon King Cone to split into three.
Yes, the second form of the Dragon King Cone was the Three Dragon Dance in the Blue Sky.
However, Xu Nian was still not proficient in this form and couldn’t truly unleash its full power.
But now, there was no other way; he could only fight with all his might.
"Go!"
Zhou Tianming shouted loudly, and the three Thunderclap Spears shot out.
The spears pierced through the air, penetrating the heavens and the earth.
It seemed as though they aimed to pin Xu Nian dead in this void.
His confidence in the Thunderclap Spears was immense; if he couldn’t even kill a Middle Stage Earth Immortal, he wouldn’t have the face to continue as the Alliance Hierarch of the Ghost Alliance.
"Block them for me!"
Xu Nian also shouted loudly, urging the Dragon King Cone to strike the three Thunderclap Spears.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of explosions sounded.
The terrifying Thunderclap Storm swept all around in an instant.
The Thunderclap Spears exploded, but Xu Nian’s Dragon King Cone was also sent flying.
Xu Nian suffered from the force’s backlash, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, you think you can block my Thunder Spear, waste that you are? You think you can withstand it? Then I’d like to see how much you can take," Zhou Tianming sneered.
With a thought, twelve Thunderclap Spears hovered before him.
The power of these twelve Thunderclap Spears was the same as before.
"Twelve? My god, the alliance leader is truly showing his might!" Members of the Ghost Alliance exclaimed in surprise, and their eyes toward Zhou Tianming became more reverent.
Hong Cheng sighed in his heart; now that his big brother was using his true strength, there was no way Xu Nian could be an opponent.
"It’s over, die now!" Zhou Tianming sneered coldly, then waved his hand, and those Thunderclap Spears shot out once more.
Seeing this scene, Xu Nian felt a sense of helplessness.
It seemed he could only resort to the Star Axe again.
However, just at this moment, a graceful figure stepped lazily forward, blocking Xu Nian.
"Oh? Is that person finally willing to make a move?" Xu Nian was taken aback, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruolan took the initiative to intervene.
Lin Ruolan exuded a wave of black energy, and in the next moment, with a slap of her hand, those Thunderclap Spears exploded instantly.
Then Lin Ruolan took a step forward, and a long sword appeared in her hand.
The black brilliance shone in the sky, yet seemed to devour everything.
"Buzz!"
The speed was fast to the extreme, sweeping past Zhou Tianming.
Zhou Tianming’s body instantly froze, his face full of horror.
Xu Nian also showed a look of surprise.
Lin Ruolan was using some powerful secret technique.
This secret technique was terrifying; it must have been a method of utilizing a certain energy.
Even Xu Nian felt a terrifying aura of death from that strike.
Fortunately, he hadn’t confronted Lin Ruolan; otherwise, he might not have been a match for her.
"Noisy garbage, wasting Miss Lin’s time." Lin Ruolan withdrew her long sword, standing proudly in the void.
The next moment, Zhou Tianming’s body shattered into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.
The whole scene was silent, staring at Lin Ruolan’s form like a demon.
Hong Cheng couldn’t help but swallow, fear in his eyes.
He once had crossed swords with Lin Ruolan, and in retrospect, it appeared Lin Ruolan had truly held back before.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly; Lin Ruolan was truly making an example of him.
Perhaps others couldn’t see it, but he could tell that deploying this technique wasn’t easy for Lin Ruolan.
She likely had little combat power left at this moment.
"If any of you want to make trouble, come and battle," Lin Ruolan turned to the cultivators in the sky, speaking with utter disdain.
The surrounding cultivators shrank back in fear, each showing expressions of trepidation.
"Miss Lin, we don’t wish to be enemies with you," Hong Cheng thought about it and couldn’t help but speak.
"If you don’t want to be our enemy, then scram. Or do I have to invite you out?" Lin Ruolan snorted coldly.
At her words, everyone looked terrified, fleeing for their lives.
Hong Cheng also looked embarrassed, preparing to leave.
"Wait a moment, Alliance Leader Hong. You mentioned before that you’d take me to find outsiders. Can you still take me to see them?" Xu Nian suddenly called after Hong Cheng.
Hong Cheng’s expression was complex. Glancing at Lin Ruolan standing aside and seeing she said nothing, he replied, "Alright, I will welcome you both to the Ghost Alliance."
After speaking, Hong Cheng turned into a stream of light and left.
