(I have to work overtime these two days, so there will only be one update, sorry!)
Above the black umbrella surface, a faint light rippled like waves, attempting to block the strong attack of the light beam.
However, the light beam came too quickly and was incomparably powerful, easily tearing through the obstruction of the faint light and bombarding the Raging Sun.
The Raging Sun burst forth with a brilliant and scorching light, shooting towards the black and white millstones in all directions, shattering the sword light and leaving it unrecognizable.
“Boom!”
After only half a breath, the Raging Sun exploded, and the violent power poured down like a flood, guided by the black umbrella surface towards Lu Gong, who was dozens of feet away.
Lu Gong was already prepared. The power beneath his feet exploded, and he suddenly soared into the sky, avoiding the attack of the Refined Sun Umbrella by a hair's breadth.
Zhang Yuanjing stood beneath the black umbrella surface, witnessing this battle that seemed long but actually lasted only a few breaths, his heart filled with shock.
Since he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he had the umbrella and stone as spiritual treasures, and Ape Thirteen as a partner. He had not put much effort into cultivation and techniques, and was also tired of running around, with little time to comprehend the principles of earth techniques. As a result, his understanding of the Nascent Soul realm was still at a very superficial level.
Faced with this dangerous battle, he did not want Zhang Umbrella to be distracted, so he used the Dividing Earth Technique and hid two hundred feet underground.
Lu Gong's heart skipped a beat, worried that Zhang Yuanjing would escape if he saw the situation was unfavorable, but when he saw that he was only hiding temporarily, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not relax his attack. He guided the two swords, condensed the sword light, and restored the Yin-Yang millstone that had been shattered, still tightly trapping the Refined Sun Umbrella.
Such a powerful innate spiritual treasure, he did not believe that Zhang Yuanjing would be willing to give up. As long as he did not leave immediately, he could find a way to lure him out and capture him.
The Refined Sun Umbrella was besieged from both inside and outside, and its energy gradually weakened. After ten breaths, Lu Gong thought the time had come, so he drove a flying sword to slash at the umbrella handle of the Refined Sun Umbrella.
Zhang Umbrella could not handle everything, so he exhausted his strength and raised another Raging Sun above the umbrella surface, scorching the Yin-Yang millstone.
The Yin-Yang millstone was forced to retreat, giving the Refined Sun Umbrella a chance to breathe. It then condensed its spiritual energy on the umbrella handle and collided with the flying sword, repelling it.
“It can still release a Raging Sun!”
Lu Gong was slightly surprised, but not panicked. He recalled the two swords, cast a spell, and guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the swords, and then slashed down without any fancy moves.
Two sword lights tore through the sky, splitting the clouds and mist that filled the mountain, carrying the mighty power of thunder, and fell on the Raging Sun at the same time.
“Boom!”
The same scene appeared again. The huge destructive force was thrown by the black umbrella surface and shot towards where Lu Gong was standing, but it still did not hit him. And the second Raging Sun on the umbrella had been destroyed.
The original water-like luster of the Refined Sun Umbrella became very dim.
“Zhang Umbrella, how do you feel? Is it possible to break through!” Zhang Yuanjing asked anxiously, transmitting his thoughts.
Although he had the bone blade in his hand, Lu Gong would not stand there and let him cut him. If he could not hit the enemy, even if he had treasures that surpassed his realm, it would be in vain.
“Master, this person’s sword light is too powerful, it is not easy to break through. Zhang Umbrella can still hold on, as long as there is a chance, I will break through! Master, leave this place first!” Zhang Umbrella transmitted his thoughts, his voice a little weak.
Obviously, the destruction of the two Raging Suns had greatly depleted its energy.
Lu Gong's aura had also declined significantly. Maintaining such a powerful and majestic sword energy and controlling the two swords to launch a decisive attack was also extraordinary for him. If his cultivation had not improved recently, he might have had to give up and leave at this time.
“Again!”
Seeing that victory was in sight, Lu Gong felt a surge of pride in his heart. The spell in his hand changed, guiding the two swords to agitate, generating more sword light. The black and white millstone became more and more condensed, forming an even more terrifying pressure on the Refined Sun Umbrella. The grinding force, like a giant wave, repeatedly rushed towards the black umbrella, making a crackling sound.
The Refined Sun Umbrella was like a small boat in a storm, floating up and down, in imminent danger.
Zhang Yuanjing understood in his heart that the reason why Lu Gong did not directly use the strong attack, but slowly crushed him, was to lure him out. This person's only purpose was to capture him in order to force him to reveal the whereabouts of the silver lotus.
At this time, Ape Thirteen was still trapped by the white mist. Although the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was surveying nearby, it was limited by its realm and could not find a way to break it.
Zhang Yuanjing inspected the spiritual treasures in the Sumeru Ring. The only defensive weapon that could resist Lu Gong's strong attack was the Golden Cloud Armor, but it was too late to refine it.
With no other choice, he had to let Zhang Stone possess him as armor, drill out of the ground, and release the sand domain to cover Lu Gong.
Lu Gong was secretly delighted. He ignored the sand domain, but took out a foot-long wooden sculpture from the Sumeru Ring, shaped like a seven or eight-year-old child, with an innocent smile on his face.
He knocked the wooden sculpture against his forehead, and then threw it into the sand domain with force, and then ignored it, focusing only on dealing with the Refined Sun Umbrella.
Zhang Stone naturally saw Lu Gong's actions, and hurriedly transmitted his thoughts to Zhang Yuanjing: “Master, be careful of this person's methods. He threw out a wooden sculpture, which looks a bit strange, but Zhang Umbrella can't feel its spiritual energy at all.”
Zhang Yuanjing replied: “You don't need to worry about me, just concentrate on defending!”
He released his divine sense and searched the sand domain, but did not find the wooden sculpture. After thinking for a moment, he continuously poured the power of thick earth into the sand domain, turning it into a swamp. However, he still did not find any movement of the wooden sculpture in the swamp.
He hurriedly released the blood worm and asked it to investigate underground. After a few breaths, the blood worm sent back a message, and it did not find any trace of the wooden sculpture either.
Zhang Yuanjing's heart trembled, knowing that Lu Gong had too many tricks hidden, and he was probably not comparable to ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. At least, this person was much better than Ling Xiao.
He held the bone blade in his hand and condensed giant stones to hit Lu Gong. Lu Gong's body was protected by sword light, and the giant stones were shattered when they fell into it, but they could consume some sword light.
Lu Gong smiled, not caring about the giant stones that were raining down. He only urged the two swords to release more sword light, and slowly increased the grinding force on the Refined Sun Umbrella.
About ten breaths later, a clear child's laughter suddenly sounded from somewhere in the sand domain, clearly entering Zhang Yuanjing's ears.
Zhang Yuanjing's divine soul trembled, and he felt as if the joints of his body were rusty, and he could not move flexibly.
At this time, an innocent child's smiling face came into view, getting bigger and bigger, and sticking to his face.
