Chapter 704: Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (III)

But Chen Ying’er could not be killed as this Temples’ Great Gathering was no battle of life or death! So in some meaning, Chen Ying’er was making perfect use of the rules .

So, he could currently not attack Chen Ying’er, as a summoner’s body was the weakest, causing Li Zhengzhi to really fear killing carelessly such a genius . But unless Chen Ying’er was killed, these magical beasts wouldn’t go out of control . If they kept besieging him, even if getting rid of the majority was possible, that would take him just far too long . . .

Furthermore, the summoning spell having been completed, these thirty-six light gates closed up and disappeared, but these magical beasts wouldn’t return to their original dwellings unless Chen Ying’er consented .

Thus, killing them was the only way to conclude this battle .

Having come to this accurate conclusion, Li Zhengzhi didn’t show any more hesitation . Crossing his hands in front of him, two glistening green surges of light flared out from his eyes .

A frantic fighting intent rose from Li Zhengzhi, the hurricanes from the Domain Technique deriving from the Wind God Domain suddenly slowing down . That Wind God Summon’s body swiftly returned to Li Zhengzhi, and unexpectedly enveloped him inside before shrinking and making its way inside Li Zhengzhi’s body .

Right now, Li Zhengzhi’s body was entirely colored a dazzling green . His right hand shot up, a palm-sized wind blade came flying out, appearing unstable, and visibly constituted of green wind . In a blink of an eye, it landed against a magical beast of the ninth step which had its speed slowed down greatly as a result, just as if it had fallen in a quagmire . But even so, what could a mere wind blade produce for a magical beast of the ninth step other than tickles?

But the next instant, Li Zhengzhi displayed the power of his second Domain Technique .

With a light Pop, that green colored wind blade nimbly made way into the body of the magical beast of ninth step, and a second later, the latter turned into a green color, eyes flushed green, and abruptly blasted apart, not even leaving any splatter of flesh, just disappearing in the midst of these wind blades .

This is . . .

Chen Ying’er was dumbstruck because she did not understand at all what Li Zhengzhi just did .

While she was so shocked, Li Zhengzhi’s hands shot in succession, releasing similar wind blades as just before .

The results were identical . Everywhere these wind blades passed, no magical beast of the ninth step could bear the attack: all of them went in extinct in a cold breeze, leaving not even a corpse behind .

The look in Long Haochen’s eyes was extremely heavy, gradually seeing through some of the mysteries behind Li Zhengzhi’s second Domain Technique .

The true essence of wind… He has already grasped the true essence of wind .

What’s the true essence of wind? That’s freedom . By causing the freedom displayed in wind to rise to the peak, this second Domain Technique was created .

Right, this second Domain Technique used by Li Zhengzhi was called Freedom .

Over thirty magical beasts of the ninth step dissipated in this freedom . And when the final one dissipated, Li Zhengzhi’s body swayed, but the look in his eyes was still as grave .

Letting out a tyrannical roar, McDull in Chen Ying’er’s bosom leaped up, enlarging in the blink of an eye . The instant it landed onto the ground, a lot of eyes turned toward Chen Hongyu unwittingly .

That’s because McDull had just transformed into Chen Hongyu’s contracted magical beast, a four-headed Chimera .

Groaaa . Four spits bombarded straight onto the Wind God Domain . But as McDull was just shapeshifting, his strength differed quite importantly with a real four-headed Chimera, so these four spits didn’t make one, but were only thrown separately .

But, even so, that attack reached the ninth step .

However, a Domain Technique derived from the Wind God Domain was indeed powerful . When these four spits came in, they were immediately first slowed down by the hurricanes, before immediately breaking down and turning into nothingness .

Lifting his hand, Li Zhengzhi formed another wind blade in his palm, calmly declaring to Chen Ying’er, “I don’t want to cause your contracted summon’s death . Just surrender . ”

Seeing the cold look in Li Zhengzhi’s eyes, Chen Ying’er slowly stood up and snorted, “If equipment were allowed, you would not necessarily have achieved victory against me . ”

Li Zhengzhi smiled to that, but didn’t say anything . As a senior, he couldn’t say like-wise, my equipment is not below yours .

The green wind blade in his hand came flying, rushing straight toward McDull .

Chen Ying’er had a fright . After so many magical beasts of the ninth step had just gotten killed by these regular-looking wind blades, she really did not dare to gamble with McDull’s life, and hurriedly shouted, “I concede . ”

The wind blade dissipating in the air, Li Zhengzhi’s domain instantly vanished, leaving him looking obviously pale, although his footstep were still rather steady .

Chen Ying’er tiredly returned to her comrades’ side, pouting and visibly dissatisfied with the results of her battle .

“Boss, do you think that with my best setup, I could have had better chances to achieve victory?”

Long Haochen smiled to that, “Don’t be so displeased . Li Zhengzhi’s cultivation is really at a formidable level . You already did very well Ying’er . ” Although he didn’t really know to which extent Li Zhengzhi was really exhausted, the use of the latter’s domain plus two Domain Techniques should have come with a considerable consumption . At least, Li Zhengzhi couldn’t possibly get back to his optimum state before his next match .

Bright Glimmer of Hope had another member eliminated, but no one found Chen Ying’er’s performance to be a loser’s . She had just summoned thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step! That was more than enough to withstand a Demon Emperor Legion . A summoner reaching such a state could already not simply be said to have reached the peak level .

The flash of light landed this time on Lin Xin, opposing him with a knight .

The strongest ones in the Knight Temples were Yang Haoyu and Long Tianying who were already eliminated, but the Knight Temple still had two contestants in this fifth round . From this, one could well imagine how powerful these knights were . Lin Xin was on the verge of facing a domain-wielding Holy Knight of the ninth step .

Entering the stage, Lin Xin’s expression immediately became all the more serious . He knew that this was going to be his greatest hurdle since the start of the Temples’ Great Gathering . No matter whether he could win, he had to give his all, and do his best to weaken his opponent . Although this opponent was from the Knight Temple, at least three people from their side would very likely emerge . So, weakening the opponent would serve well as setup for his comrades’ later stages . Although, of course, the best would be to win against the opponent .

The Holy Knight was very old, both hair and beard colored white . His age did not look any lower than Long Tianying’s .

In front of Lin Xin, he did not immediately summon his mount, lifting his left hand to summon a brilliant colored shield, he permeated it with the power of Spiritual Highland .

This was a Guardian Knight, looking impassible . Facing the opponent, Lin Xin suddenly had a strange feeling, because he realized with surprised that even after so many rounds had passed, this Holy Knight should have made it here with formidable displays of power, yet he hadn’t left any impression in his heart .

What could it mean that he managed to make it here in such a low-key fashion? A Guardian Knight should not be expert in fighting a duel, therefore that was a hidden card of the Knight Temple! After Yang Haoyu had now come such a low-key and powerful Guardian Knight . Truly, the Knight Temple deserved the number one rank out of the Temple Alliance . So, perhaps even without the emergence of the Bright Glimmer of Hope, the Mage Temple would hardly have managed to overwhelm the Knight Temple . And that was under the premise that only one of their three Divine Knights had come .

These years, the Mage Temple could be said to have had unlimited prospects, especially after the Holy War, because the damage they had sustained was the lowest, their achievements in the battlefield the greatest, their development making the Knight Temple completely pale in comparison . But when it really came to this Temples’ Great Gathering, the Knights really had the strongest hidden trumps in the battle determining the Six Great Temples’ rankings . If not for Bright Glimmer of Hope’s presence, the Knight Temple would be eighty percent sure of remaining in the lead .

Lin Xin’s eyes flashed in blue light, a pair of immense fire wings growing from his back . His spiritual wings were greatly different compared to ordinary mages, first and foremost in their size .

The size of one’s spiritual wings generally related with one’s strength . Long Haochen’s multiple wings being a special case, generally the size of one’s spiritual wings would increase as one’s cultivation grows .

But even if Lin Xin had just recently broken through the ninth step, the size of his spiritual wings could already match with the wind wings of the Mage Temple’s head Li Zhengzhi .

The immense wings unfolded, extending out over ten meters . It appeared just like a fire wall extending from behind his back . Furthermore, the fire on Lin Xin’s spiritual wings appeared in the form of blue flames .

As his cultivation had kept going up, going past the ninth step, his Heart of Fire gained a fascinating tinge of beauty . As his spiritual wings moved rhythmically, a shallow blue color kept getting altered, just like the most limpid coast .

Lin Xin’s hands were joined up, his eyes glinting up . Lifting his hand, a flame headed a probing attack at that Holy Knight .

Bang! As the blue fire curled up, the Holy Knight stood unmoving, and the flame collided with his shield, but did not infect him, nor did it even manage to make it past that shield materialized from Spiritual Highland .

This first attack was only filled with explosive properties, and as a fire mage, his greatest field lay in the explosive power in his attack . This was a battle between the strongest spear and the sturdiest shield .

Lin Xin continued his global offenses with no hesitation . As his hands were waved about, series of blue flames were shot at the Holy Knight like blue lightning bolts .
