797: Chapter 233_4 797: Chapter 233_4 Blade after blade of wind fell, smashing onto the tortoiseshell shield, and instantly, obscure and enigmatic runes appeared upon it, each rune seemingly a massive mountain, withstanding the descending wind blades.
Elsewhere, in front of Yan Yourong, a mountain’s phantom also emerged.
The next moment, an immensely majestic mountain rose up in front of her.
Atop the mountain, towering trees thrived, their dense branches and leaves obscuring the sky as if veiling the void of this part of the world with their verdant life force that spread out in all directions.
Amidst the mountainside, waterfalls cascaded like a galaxy in reverse, impacting the ground and forming a meandering river that encircled the mountain like a mighty dragon,
Along the riverbanks, the earth was studded with sharp weapons planted upside down, like embankments of the river, emitting an endless aura of sharpness.
At the peak was an enormous volcanic crater, igniting everything around it, as if the very mountain were a burning sun.
Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—the five-colored lights rose from behind Yan Yourong.
A single mountain managed to block all the surrounding wind blades.
On the other side, Linghu Gudu’s left and right hands each bore a massive shield.
Both shields were a deep blue color.
However, one shield was round, like a lake.
The other radiated intense cold, chilling the surrounding air as if it were freezing everything.
Wind blades fell, striking the shields, but were completely blocked.
Meanwhile, Li Ke’s body was enveloped in intense flames, which from a distance, appeared as though she were wearing a fiery cloak.
Beneath her feet, a massive fiery red disc appeared as if the setting sun had descended beneath her feet.
As wind blades attacked, the blazing sun at her feet suddenly shot up, exploding in front of her.
In an instant, the space itself seemed destroyed, and the wind blades before her were completely obliterated by the overwhelming fiery aura.
Yet, wind blades continued to assault her from all sides.
Among the crowd, her cultivation base was relatively low.
She did not know how strong Linghu Gudu was, but one thing was certain: Linghu Gudu’s life-saving and defense methods were much more profound than hers.
She merely used flames to defend against the wind blades, but under the relentless assault of numerous wind blades, her fiery defenses were being torn apart.
Blades sharp enough to easily level mountains struck her directly.
Instantly, a golden light enveloped her body.
The Gold Light Spell!
However, there were far too many wind blades, and it seemed the Gold Light Spell alone could not fend off their onslaught.
In a mere instant, the Gold Light Spell broke, and a wind blade fell, cleaving into her body, causing her to stagger.
A pallid hue spread across her beautiful face.
The next instant, a wind blade descended directly on her shoulder.
Suddenly, without the protection of the Gold Light Spell, her clothing was torn open, revealing a bone-deep gash on her fair skin, from which bright red blood spurted.
And in front of her, even more wind blades plummeted toward her.
Li Ke’s complexion drastically changed.
Just one wind blade had made her feel as if she were struck by a blow from a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection master; with several more descending…
Suddenly, Cao Zhen’s figure abruptly appeared in front of her, shielding her with his body.
Above Cao Zhen’s head, a Heretical Golden Core spun wildly, its vast and boundless aura rippling outwards.
His hands swung in two different directions.
In a flash, white and black lights emanated from each hand.
The white light was blindingly brilliant, more so than the descending sunlight; the black was as dark as ink, seemingly deeper than the black of night.
The air around them also began to whirl with the movement of his arms, forming a rotating current.
The two lights converged into this current, within which the phantom of the sun and moon emerged.
The Sun and Moon Sect’s Sun Moon Star Shift!
The Sun Moon Star Shift could reflect divine skills, and the wind blades, in his view, were also divine skills that he could reflect back.
For a time, a small whirlpool even appeared in front of him as if it were a miniature version within the Endless Sea’s giant maelstrom.
Though it couldn’t face the giant whirl directly, it caused a brief disruption to its swirling motion.
Wind blades descended into this whirlpool, then the next moment, countless wind blades were repelled outward, colliding with others.
Not far away, Linghu Gudu watched this scene, his eyes widening in shock.
Such divine skills—what kind of divine skills were they, to be able to reflect so many wind blades back?
“Quick, break out!” Cao Zhen bellowed, seizing the moment of collision between the wind blades to rush through the vacuum created in their wake.
If they remained within this Wind Blade Whirlpool, their mana would be depleted until they perished from exhaustion.
To survive, they must break free from the wind blades’ range.
However, just as they made some distance, terrifying suction forces began to emanate from one side, and countless wind blades once again bore down on them.
