Chapter 56: I Don’t Fight with Tanks.
Ji Changle’s purple light exploded. She was clearly furious at Su Lingxi and Xiao Yun’s attempt to escape.
The bald man and the balding man followed closely behind.
“Boss, let’s talk this out. A gentleman uses his words, not his fists.”
Xiao Yun shielded Su Lingxi behind him, hoping to buy some time with words.
“Boss Ji, look at this celestial phenomenon outside. It will definitely cause a series of turmoil.”
“We had no choice but to run out!”
Ji Changle: “Oh? Then since you’re safe now, shouldn’t you come back and continue to follow me?”
“You destroyed the spiritual artifact, injured my people, and still say you weren’t trying to escape!”
“Since you’re not being honest, then I’ll personally take you back.”
Ji Changle’s aura surged. As she circulated her purple lightning spiritual technique, the surrounding worldly spiritual energy trembled.
Strands of purple lightning seeped out from her pores, gradually gathering on the surface of her body, crackling and flashing.
“Negotiations have failed. Yuebai… you deal with her two subordinates. I’ll hold off this woman.”
“Trust me. The Snowfall Sect will definitely receive news of such a celestial phenomenon and send people to investigate. We’ll be saved then.”
“Big Brother Xiao…”
Su Lingxi was a little touched. She had never felt that Xiao Yun was so reliable.
Since there was no room for negotiation, both sides began to erupt with spiritual energy. A great battle was imminent.
Xiao Yun’s spiritual energy surged, and his Golden Core realm strength was pushed to the limit. A stick exuding a cold aura was already tightly gripped in his hand.
This was the first time Su Lingxi had seen Xiao Yun in a fighting state. She had to admit that he was a little handsome.
But Xiao Yun did not rush to attack, because he knew that he was no match for Ji Changle. He would just stall for time.
On Su Lingxi’s side, the bald man and the balding man also surrounded her. Both were at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
These two looked weaker than Su Lingxi, but they were extremely confident.
“I didn’t expect you to have the strength of the mid-stage Golden Core realm at such a young age. I’ve never heard of such talent.”
“If we hadn’t used some tricks back then, it would have been a little more troublesome, but only a little.”
“On the premise that you once shared beast meat and divine water with us, we can give you a chance.”
“Surrender now and avoid the pain of the flesh.”
The bald man and the balding man simultaneously released their spiritual energy auras. Both of them stepped out, and earth-type spiritual energy began to gather from their legs to their entire bodies.
After the circulation was complete, a layer of extremely thick earth-like texture appeared on their skin.
This was clearly a spiritual technique that strengthened one’s defense.
“I finally escaped. It’s impossible for you to make me surrender.”
The moment Su Lingxi’s Illusory Moon Soaring Sky appeared, her aura changed drastically. “Let me see if my sword is sharper or your skin is thicker!”
“Ice Cold Flying Shadow!”
Su Lingxi gathered her ice-elemental power and quickly rushed towards the two. She sent out a palm strike, wanting to send the ice-elemental power that could freeze enemies into their bodies.
Who knew that the moment her palm came into contact with their bodies, Su Lingxi felt as if she had hit an iron plate, and her arm went numb from the shock.
“What the hell?”
Su Lingxi shook her red palm. On the other side, the balding man and the bald man couldn’t help but look at each other. “Did something just hit us?”
Looking down, they both had an identical palm print glowing with ice-elemental power on their chests.
“Not bad! The force is good. It actually made us feel something.”
The bald man and the balding man stomped on the ice layer on the ground. The moment their feet touched the earth, the bald man felt as if he had returned to his mother’s embrace.
A stream of earth power continuously entered his body.
The two of them formed seals with their hands and shouted, “Earth Dragon Rending the Sky!”
The ground instantly cracked, and an earth dragon transformed from earth-type spiritual energy rushed out from the crack in the ground.
Su Lingxi was shocked and quickly shot up from the ground. An earth dragon rushed out from the ground where she had just disappeared, heading straight for her vitals.
The Ice Heart Art: Imperial was instantly activated, and the ice-elemental power quickly wrapped Su Lingxi up like a dumpling.
The earth dragon opened its huge mouth and directly swallowed Su Lingxi.
The balding man and the bald man looked at each other, their gestures constantly changing as they formed seals again, controlling the earth dragon and wanting to refine Su Lingxi.
Less than ten seconds after the earth dragon swallowed Su Lingxi, an ice-blue sword qi burst out from its abdomen and shot straight at the two.
But the two of them didn’t move and directly took the sword qi head-on.
Su Lingxi drilled out from the earth dragon. She dusted herself off and looked at the two with some surprise.
The two of them had taken a sword qi head-on but hadn’t moved at all. A layer of pale yellow light was faintly glowing on their bodies.
That sword qi just now had only left a sword mark on their bodies.
“Su Lingxi, we are both from the Rock Nation.”
“The world knows that my Rock Nation’s defense is unparalleled. You can’t do anything to me!” the balding man laughed.
Of course, Su Lingxi knew that the Rock Nation’s spiritual energy was mainly for defense, because that was what she had casually written.
But the Rock Nation’s spiritual techniques also had a big drawback: they focused on attack and defense, but had no speed.
Because for cultivators who practiced earth-type spiritual techniques, speed was a huge drawback.
Maxing out defense meant that the pressure on oneself increased. If one moved casually, the consumption of spiritual energy would be huge.
And this kind of spiritual technique relied on the power of the earth, so they couldn’t move casually. Therefore, in battle, cultivators who practiced earth-type spiritual techniques generally took the hits head-on.
Having figured this out, Su Lingxi sneered. Under the astonished gazes of the balding man and the bald man, she put away her sword and lay down on a rock.
“Since you two are so tanky, then I won’t fight you.”
The bald man, the balding man: “?”
“We’re just slow, not unable to attack!”
The bald man was angered by Su Lingxi’s relaxed attitude. The two of them gathered another earth dragon and shot it at Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi yawned and her figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, she was lying on another rock.
The two, unable to control the earth dragon’s speed, could only watch as it roared and rushed towards a mountain peak.
The mountain peak collapsed with a bang, but Su Lingxi was safe and sound, still resting with her eyes closed.
“I’m so angry!”
Only then did the bald man and the balding man realize that they had been tricked.
The reason Su Lingxi was so confident was because she had perfectly combined the third level of the Ice Heart Art and the Ice Cold Flying Shadow, achieving a state of instant casting.
These two tanks were slow, so she just had to dodge. If this continued, their spiritual energy would slowly be depleted.
The first three levels of the Ice Heart Art were not considered offensive spiritual techniques. Their core was to cultivate the perception of the ice element.
Mastering the first three levels greatly promoted the cultivator’s ability to control the ice element, which included fusion with other ice-elemental spiritual techniques.
“Hehe, I won’t fight you. I’ll just wear you down.”
Anyway, Su Lingxi was also here to stall for time.
But things were not so good on Xiao Yun’s side.
Xiao Yun hastily retreated. The ice shield he had formed in front of him was easily shattered by Ji Changle’s palm. A few strands of strange purple lightning drilled into his body, instantly making his body go numb, and he fell back uncontrollably.
“Yuebai… run! I can’t hold on…”
