Chapter 1123: Special Effects Maxed Out
Fang Yi leveled his spear. Wind and lightning surged forth. The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that clashed against the sevenfold disasters, as though the spear had transformed into an electric saw.
The wheels of time to Fang Yi's back rotated more and more quickly, but it was still difficult for him to defend against the disasters alone.
Fang Yi was sent flying by the clash as Sun Xiaowu's hundred thousand clones lit up with golden light.
"[Blinding Flash: Self-Destruct]!" Sun Xiaowu's clones exploded in a golden ocean of radiance.
The force of the explosion halted the sevenfold disasters. Golden blades rained down from all directions, clearing out the dense swarm of bugs.
Fang Yi retreated and asked Sun Xiaowu, "Can you summon one of those gigantic golden mechas again?"
Sun Xiaowu shook his head. "No, definitely not. I can't summon those whenever I feel like it. Given my current condition, if I forcibly activate the technique, it'd have at most a tenth of its original strength."
Fang Yi grumbled, "Don't you keep complaining that I go limp after one thrust? Aren't you the same?"
Sun Xiaowu rolled his eyes. "The difference is that I have stamina. Even after that transformation, I can still fight, as I am now. How about you?"
Fang Yi glanced at him seriously. "Without a strong opener, it'll be difficult to force a decisive victory. I need you to buy time for me."
Sun Xiaowu exhaled. "To be honest, I don't know how much time I can buy you."
After using his ultimate technique, Sun Xiaowu barely had any reserves of energy left, but Ghroth seemed perfectly able to continue fighting. Sun Xiaowu didn't know if he would be able to fend off Ghroth's attacks much longer.
Suddenly, the temperature in the void began to fall. Ice and snow appeared in the air.
"It looks like you're in need of some help," Zhang Hanxiang called out.
Sun Xiaowu's eyes widened. "Hanxiang, what are you doing here? What about the horde of genetic lifeforms?"
Zhang Hanxiang shrugged. "With Zhou Ying and Hong Xi around, I'm hardly necessary."
Sun Xiaowu glanced at the distant battlefield to find Zhou Ying and Hong Xi perfectly in control, having whittled down the number of beasts in the area and leaving Zhang Hanxiang without even an opportunity to attack.
Fang Yi said, "Hanxiang, I'm not underestimating you, but it'll be extremely difficult for you to handle Ghroth alone. Sun Xiaowu's about done for, and I don't think he'll be of much use."
Sun Xiaowu thundered, "What do you mean, I'm about done for? I could fight for another century!"
"Xiaowu, go rest—don't be stubborn. We know about your capabilities," Li Feng said, stepping toward them across the void.
Fang Yi asked, "Li Feng, where's your opponent?"
Li Feng spread his arms. "I dealt with him long ago!"
Sun Mengmeng also headed over. "It's just the two of you left."
Li Feng and Sun Mengmeng had clearly finished off their opponents already.
Sun Mengmeng continued, "Xiaowu, take a break. We'll handle this guy."
Sun Xiaowu acquiesced to his sister's suggestion.
Ghroth attacked once again, sending a tsunami of steel, lava spouts, silvery-white and pitch-black lightning, a purple storm, spatial rifts, and a rain of meteors toward the hunters.
"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!" Li Feng marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons that struck the sixfold disasters, only for the dragons to be entirely annihilated.
Li Feng grew serious. Indeed, an opponent that neither Sun Xiaowu nor Fang Yi working together could take down had to be a challenging foe.
"[Lunarflame Shot]!" Purple flames burned over Sun Mengmeng's fingers, manifesting into three arrows. The energy in the three fiery arrows was so dense that they took on corporeal form. If not for the unusual heat they gave off, an ordinary bystander would never believe that they had been formed of flame.
Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew toward Ghroth like tracking missiles, only to be struck down by the sixfold disasters.
Zhang Hanxiang frowned. She launched a flurry of attacks , channeling the might and intensity of a blizzard, a snowstorm. The temperature dropped dramatically, and snowflakes floated down. Ice and snow spread all around her, but they were unable to defend against the might of the sixfold disasters.
Each of the sixfold disasters was able to destroy a large world, and the six combined could easily destroy a superior world. An attack that wasn't on that level would have no chance of defending against it.
Zhang Hanxiang and the other two hunters finally realized how exactly Sun Xiaowu and Fang Yi had failed to take down their foe. Against a monster of this caliber, it was impressive enough that Sun Xiaowu and Fang Yi had held out against Ghroth for all this time.
Sun Xiaowu called out, "Sister, we'll be fine as long as the three of you buy us some time!"
Fang Yi nodded. "Once we recover, we'll easily be able to take down this fellow.
Li Feng's face turned red. "Are you looking down on us?"
The three of them had claimed that they would quickly take down Ghroth, but their initial confrontation had been a complete defeat!
Didn't that mean that the three of them combined weren't as strong as Sun Xiaowu and Fang Yi?
No, Li Feng wasn't about to accept such a conclusion! He patted himself on the chest. "Take your time and rest. Leave the rest to us."
The sixfold disasters grew in strength as they bore down on the three hunters.
"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!" Li Feng summoned dozens of serpents, flaring with blinding light. The serpents rushed forward, but they were obliterated by a force that could level even a superior world.
Sun Xiaowu rolled his eyes.
Fang Yi called out, "Is this all you've got?"
Li Feng's flush covered his face and spread to his neck. "I'm simply a little tired after taking down my target so quickly! Be prepared—I won't go easy on my next strike!"
Li Feng wasn't wrong. Taking down his target had expended a great deal of his reserves. He had recovered a little while Sun Xiaowu and Fang Yi were fighting, but not to his peak strength.
With a shout, he summoned a suit of draconic armor, causing silvery-white light to flash from his body.
Sun Xiaowu shouted, "The special effects from this technique are amazing!"
"They're not all I've got," Li Feng replied. With a wave of his left arm, he summoned a brilliant, blinding totem of light in the air, like a nascent galaxy.
"[Arclight Dragon's Imprint]!" A gigantic dragon's claw shot forward in a pillar of light. Imbued with a large fraction of Li Feng's genetic energy, the pillar of light held the sixfold disasters back.
Li Feng laughed. "Haha, see? This is my true strength!"
However, the moment the pillar of light seemed to stabilize, a bolt of red lightning struck the sixfold disasters and obliterated the pillar of light.
"What?!"
This was the lightning of tribulation. Ghroth had used his attack at the most opportune moment to break through Li Feng's defenses.
"[Lunarflame Shot]!" Fire-attuned genetic energy burst from Sun Mengmeng's body as her body erupted in flames. She pulled her greatbow taut. Sun Mengmeng's right hand blurred as countless arrows of purple flame shot out of her bow like a meteor shower...
