Zelyankov, witnessing the tragic deaths of his subordinates and brothers, descended into a state of frenzy. His eyes were bloodshot, and his sole desire was destruction—to annihilate the couple before him and the entire world along with them.
His speed suddenly surged, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. He was now no more than thirty meters away from Ling Tian and Aurora.
At this moment, Zelyankov reached into his pocket. His clothes were specially made, with numerous pockets filled with steel balls.
With a grab, a handful of bean-sized steel balls appeared in his hand.
Then, spreading his hands, he shot two handfuls of steel balls directly at Ling Tian and Aurora.
These steel balls were not thrown by hand. Instead, they hovered in the air beside his hands before being ejected at high speed by compressed air. The initial velocity of these steel balls even surpassed that of a handgun bullet!
"Swish..."
Although there was no sound of gunpowder explosion, these steel balls all broke the sound barrier.
A dozen or so steel balls flew directly towards Aurora, forming a net that covered her entirely.
Seeing this, Aurora swiftly extended her hands, forming a hand seal. Immediately, a massive ice block, over a meter tall and half a meter thick, appeared before her!
These steel balls struck the ice block with full force.
To Aurora's surprise, this ice block, which could even stop submachine gun bullets, was almost pierced by these steel balls!
The steel balls penetrated the ice, leaving only one or two centimeters to the other side. Then, with a crack, the giant ice block shattered into hundreds of smaller pieces, falling to the ground along with the steel balls!
Zelyankov was also stunned. He hadn't expected his sure-kill strike to be blocked by this woman!
Meanwhile, another dozen or so steel balls flew towards Ling Tian. Ling Tian formed hand seals, crossing his hands in front of his chest before quickly opening them. Between his hands, an invisible spatial rift opened, leading to the Spirit Realm.
These steel balls plunged into the spatial rift and vanished, as if disappearing from the world!
Zelyankov was utterly astonished. He could understand Aurora blocking his attack with ice, as he knew she was an ice-attribute esper, and using ice to block steel balls was normal.
However, Ling Tian's actions were completely incomprehensible to him. Ling Tian had made his attacks miss entirely, and he didn't even know where the steel balls were now!
Little did he know that Ling Tian had also mastered some spatial techniques.
Although Ling Tian himself did not possess a spatial physique or spatial abilities, he had the Spirit Realm!
Ever since signing a contract with Ali, Ling Tian had naturally gained knowledge of Ali's understanding of spatial magic.
Therefore, Ling Tian had a deeper understanding of the Spirit Realm's functions. What he had done just now was to use the Spirit Realm to open a spatial rift in front of himself!
All the incoming steel balls entered the Spirit Realm through the spatial rift, having no effect on Ling Tian!
Zelyankov halted his steps. He reached into his pocket again, preparing to retrieve another handful of steel balls. But at that critical moment, Aurora raised her Frost Staff, and with a flash of thought, three ice cones shot out in rapid succession!
The three ice cones, arranged in a triangular formation, flew directly at Zelyankov!
Zelyankov was greatly alarmed. He immediately spread his hands, and an air wall appeared about a meter in front of him. Aurora's three ice cones struck the air wall squarely.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
With three crisp sounds, the originally hard and solid ice cones were directly shattered by this air wall, breaking into countless ice shards. The scattered shards and the pervasive cold were also blocked by the air wall.
Aurora frowned. She had thought that with the formidable Frost Staff, her combat ability had been elevated by a full level, but now it seemed there was always someone better.
Ling Tian raised his hand and said to Aurora, "My dear, leave him to me. I'll deal with him. You go check the airport buildings first to see if there are any survivors. If there are accomplices of this guy, take them down directly!"
Aurora hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She knew that Ling Tian was facing a formidable enemy today, and if she stayed, she would only distract Ling Tian!
So, Aurora turned and ran towards the airport buildings.
Zelyankov reached into his pocket again, preparing to attack Aurora, but at this moment, Ling Tian suddenly raised his hand, and a dark shadow whistled towards him.
"Take this Sky-Flipping Seal!"
It turned out that what appeared in Ling Tian's hand was a cyan brick!
Ling Tian threw the brick, imbued with his internal energy. This thing packed a punch like a cannonball!
Zelyankov was greatly alarmed. He quickly pulled out a walnut-sized steel ball from his pocket and shot it out using his ability.
The steel ball and the brick collided about ten meters away from Zelyankov, emitting a deafening sound. The very solid brick was shattered, but the steel ball also lost its momentum and fell to the ground!
Zelyankov was stunned again. He hadn't expected the brick Ling Tian threw to be so powerful!
This opponent was troublesome. Not only was he unafraid of his long-range attacks, but he was also very skilled in them himself.
Since long-range attacks were ineffective, it was time for close combat!
With this thought, Zelyankov exerted force with his legs, his body suddenly charging forward at maximum speed. When he was still over ten meters away from Ling Tian, his body leaped into the air, flying about three meters high.
At this moment, using the momentum of his charge and his ability, Zelyankov extended his right fist, upon which a small compressed air wall was condensed!
Simultaneously, Zelyankov activated his compressed air ability. His entire body was propelled forward like a cannonball by compressed air, whistling towards Ling Tian!
Ling Tian looked up at the descending punch, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He didn't dodge or evade, simply standing his ground. As Zelyankov got within a meter or so, Ling Tian could even feel the powerful gust from his fist!
At this very moment, Ling Tian moved. With a flash of thought, he directly entered the Spirit Realm.
