~WHOOSH~
But while they were talking, several energy fluctuations could be felt coming from the front.
"Seems like they found us," Lin Mu said his expression turning serious.
In the distance, the pair of man and woman were preparing something.
The woman had six talismans floating in front of her in the shape of a pentagon.
"Nine Talismanic Art! Cannon Form!" She chanted, several runes forming with her handseals.
The runes condensed into an orb in the center of the pentagon. The orb attached to the talisman in the center of the pentagon, as power started to condense in it.
"With me, Senior brother!" The third Tribulation Stage Immortal woman said before activating the talismanic formation. "FIRE!"
~BOOM~
In the next moment, a loud explosion was heard as a mix of blue and white light shot out. The lights transformed into a large cannonball that now looked like a streaking meteor.
Just a minute ago there was a red comet and now a blue and white meteor was flying in the sky. But that wasn't all as the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal man also attacked.
He pulled his glass sword back, before thrusting with it in a straight line.
"Serene Light Thrust!"
An iridescent sword light flew out from the sword, accompanying the cannonball. The two intertwined and spun together, as if resonating with each other.
The combined power of the two attacks was not small as could be seen from the expressions of the two immortals.
Both the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal man and his junior sister looked to be exhausted. Their immortal Qi fluctuations had also reduced by quite a lot showing that they had expended a lot of energy.
'This has to work…' unknown to others, the woman was quite anxious.
The reason behind it was the disappearance of the Sky Soar Wolf that she had frozen. The first thing that made her surprised was its sudden disappearance without her knowing it. Her Senior brother hadn't sensed it either.
The second thing that shocked her was the quick dispelling of her skill.
'The once someone is encased in the ice, even Senior Brother would take a few minutes to break it. And yet… that person was able to dispel it in just a few seconds.' This had also made her quite nervous.
It made her think that the Beast hadn't just disappeared on its own. Someone had actually taken it away.
'But if someone can do that, it meant they were just a few meters from us. And we couldn't sense it at all. If they attacked at that time, we might have been wiped out. They are very strong… if they can do this.' The woman had grasped.
Having thought of all this, she decided to go all out and got her Senior brother to join her as well.
'I don't know if we'll be able to survive for long, but getting this far might still be enough to satisfy the elders.' The senior brother thought.
They had their own goals for coming here and it was their luck that the two of them had ended up together in the Spatial Plane.
'The Serene Glass Valley has to reach at least the Quarterfinals this time… If not us, hopefully, other members can do it.' The Senior brother thought to himself. 'The valley needs to have better results this time… at least the nobles should notice us again.'
Several powers and competitors had the same goal in the Tournament. To gain recognition and to improve their reputation. To some the rewards of the Tournament didn't matter as much as the recognition of the others did.
After all, the latter could bring them long term benefits in the form of collaborations as well as various deals.
Some powers used the tournament to display the various services they could provide by letting their members use those skills in the tournament. For example and power providing formations would let their members display various formations in the tournament, allowing the audience to notice it.
The nobles who were looking for such services would certainly taken note and would contact them at a latter time. In fact this was a well known thing, and the nobles specifically had people assigned to gathering this information.
Someone even used the Tournament as a way to pick prospective brides and grooms for their juniors!
After all, what better person to marry than a ranker of the Tournament. While the winners would most likely be out of reach, due to them being royalty like the Third Prince and Yao Changying, the others were still a fair game.
The best option for them would be the black horses who had rose to the top. They would be such wild cards that they could change the entire flow of the tournament.
These contests would also be the most tempting to the nobles as they would often have no affiliation to other powers. It was the same as getting a strong expert without searching for them.
Whatever their goals might be, Lin Mu and his companions didn't care. To them, only coming out on top mattered and their mission to defeat two individuals was important.
And there was no way, Lin Mu was going to let it be spoiled.
'This is a lot more stronger than the previous attack… It's very fast too.' Lin Mu sensed the incoming combo skill.
It had barely been a second and it had already traveled half the distance.
Lin Mu glanced at the Ming sisters and knew that they wouldn't be able to dodge this in time even if he could. He thought about pulling them along with him, but without Little Shrubby they might still get caught up in the attack.
Lin Mu wasn't worried about getting defeated, but he couldn't say the same about the two.
"Ming Aolian, Ming Dandan! Behind me, NOW!" Lin Mu shouted.
The Ming sisters had sensed the incoming attack as well and knew that it was too late to dodge it. They did as Lin Mu told and got behind him.
Lin Mu meanwhile, brought his hands forward in a brace position.
