Jiang Limeng’s face was shrouded in radiant light, as pure as a celestial maiden.
Of course, there was no hint of shrinking back.
Facing Lin Zhengren’s struggle, she chose to soar into action.
Powerful vital energy billowed out from her robes, making her appear incredibly imposing, as she pushed forward with one hand, a terrifying power beginning to stir.
But at that very moment,
From a puddle of water she had flown over—formed from the remnants of the water wall that Lin Zhengren had earlier conjured, which she had shattered with intense light, scattering it everywhere—
A translucent, skinny, and fierce-looking hand suddenly reached out, seizing Jiang Limeng’s right ankle with a grip!
There was a Water Ghost in the water!
Lin Zhengren possessed a Ghost Raising Ability, and had demonstrated it during their earlier battle; Jiang Limeng was of course aware of this. One could not say that the ability to raise ghosts wasn’t powerful, but such Divine Skills usually had their weaknesses.
Generally, techniques full of Yang energy were their natural predators.
Ghosts and the like really had nowhere to stand in this world. Any Roaming Meridian Realm Cultivator could combat these specters using the power of Path Origin.
Of course, there were some Ghost Raising Abilities that were very strong, unfazed by daylight, high temperatures, or Buddhist light, just like the Ghost General.
But Lin Zhengren’s Ghost Raising Ability was nothing special, even if its numbers were substantial...
During the earlier rounds of fighting, the three ghosts Lin Zhengren had raised—Tree Ghost, Vine Ghost, and Headless Ghost—had already made their appearances. The Tree Ghost had been eliminated, and the Vine Ghost was left on the brink of death, unable to recover quickly.
This Water Ghost, however, was making its debut.
However...
Was it not a bit laughable to engage in ghost-driven combat in front of the wielder of Siyao Divine Power?
A slight smile curled at the corner of Jiang Limeng’s mouth.
Without any visible movement, her ankle suddenly became the source of light. Intense light burst forth, illuminating all directions, especially converging towards the Water Ghost.
This was the light of the blazing sun, most effective at suppressing ghosts and driving away evil.
As expected, the Water Ghost melted away like snow meeting the morning sun, dissolving in an instant without even a chance to scream, leaving behind only a wisp of black smoke.
Jiang Limeng continued to advance, her hand shrouded in radiant light, still pushing forward.
At the same time, starting from Lin Zhengren as the center, intensive and terrifying white light beams shot out from nowhere, crisscrossing and covering the entire range overshadowed by the Three Lives Verdant Tree!
The white light, carrying intense heat, made the air sizzle.
This technique was known as Scorching Light Imprisonment!
In itself a very powerful Dao Technique of light, its might was greatly amplified under the influence of Siyao Divine Power. It was nearing the level of superior class!
Those arrows of light, as if stuck in sludge, seemed to gain strength, one after another, like moths to a flame, hurtling towards the verdant tree where Lin Zhengren was hiding.
Clangs and clangs resounded crisply!
Like a sudden rainstorm tapping on Liu Li!
Sharp-eyed spectators could see faint cracks forming on that verdant tree.
And at this moment, the oppressive white light of Scorching Light Imprisonment arrived, ruthlessly piercing through the tree! In midair, smoke rose faintly as if something had been scorched and smoldered away. With such high temperatures, even steel would easily melt.
However, the intense white light did not penetrate Lin Zhengren as easily as everyone had expected.
The verdant tree turned to Swiss cheese in an instant. Meanwhile, Lin Zhengren emerged from another verdant tree.
The Three Lives Verdant Tree actually had such a hidden utility!
Even Jiang Wang, who had experienced this technique firsthand up in the stands, had not anticipated this move.
For Jiang Limeng, this Dao Technique was all the more unfamiliar!
When Lin Zhengren emerged, it was precisely when the power of both the light arrows and Scorching Light Imprisonment were focused on the previous verdant tree.
The space around him was emptier than it had ever been, only the "prison" formed by Scorching Light Imprisonment continued to ensnare him.
Yet he advanced directly forward.
Taking a hurried step.
With his right hand held together like a blade, he swept it across his left palm. fгeewebnovёl.com
A massive gash split open in his palm, from which blood wildly spurted out.
That blood...
Amazingly coalesced midair, turning into a ferocious blood demon that latched onto the "cage" formed by the intense white light.
Sizzling noises followed...
Amid such sharp and violent sounds, the Blood Ghost dissipated into blood mist, seemingly annihilated.
This was another new ghost Lin Zhengren presented after the Water Ghost—a Blood Ghost that could break through the cage, one wonders how long it needed to be nurtured, how many resources invested, yet he was willing to let it go so easily! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The "prison" created by Scorching Light Imprisonment was corroded and opened with a gap.
Lin Zhengren curled into a ball and rolled out through the breach, leaping out of the confinement of Scorching Light Imprisonment, leaving only the two verdant trees still tangled with the arrows of light in their original place.
His roll out of the prison was far from graceful; in fact, it could be deemed quite unsightly.
Like a dog, he even rolled a couple of times on the ground.
For someone proud and arrogant, such a disgraceful posture itself might be more unbearable than death.
Lin Zhengren also seemed very angry, his eyes shut tightly, his face flushed red, he shouted angrily, "Senior Sister Jiang, I treated you with sincerity, yet you deceive and insult me, I will not rest until this is settled!"
It was rage that made him throw caution to the wind.
The usually refined and courteous Lin Zhengren now disregarded his dignity, unmindful of the depletion, not caring about life or death.
It was almost... like a rabid dog.
"Mediocrity brings disgrace upon oneself." Jiang Limeng responded coldly.
Like a celestial maiden, she withdrew in mid-air, seemingly not keen to confront the frenzied Lin Zhengren, choosing instead to calmly avoid the sharp edge for the time being.
At the same time.
After rolling in the dust, Lin Zhengren suddenly sprung up.
He shot forward like an arrow.
But contrary to what the spectators expected, he did not launch a mad counterattack at Jiang Limeng immediately, but instead, he darted to the other side of the Arena, keeping an even greater distance from Jiang Limeng.
