Everyone within it could feel their speed was being restricted. Their running speed right now was as slow as when they were crawling.
Only Wu Neng, who was of the same cultivation level as Mao Quanzhou, could move without much difficulty, but he was busy fighting squad leaders and did not have the time to provide support to others.
As for those from the bandit troupe, they were familiar with their vice leader's skill, so they were faring much better than those from the village.
The situation turned for the worse right after Mao Quanzhou activated his Evil Typhoon.
Even more than that, five Evil Cyclones were presently dancing around Mao Quanzhou's figure.
"Damn it!! I underestimated him. Although he lacks cultivation, he trained a high-ranked compatible skill." Feng Luotian frowned.
It was very difficult to find a skill that was compatible with one's bloodline ability, much less a high-ranked one. Feng Luotian figured that this Evil Typhoon must be a Unique skill at the least.
Not only did Evil Typhoon slow down the user's enemies granting Mao Quanzhou an opportunity to land more melee hits and generate more Evil Cyclones in the process, but the skill could also produce five Evil Cyclones upon activation, giving him even more advantage over others.
Even with the unexpected, Feng Luotian had no choice but to advance now. That Abyss Bind Array was not eternal. If he waited until their leader came out of the array, all villagers' lives were as good as gone.
Bang.
Lightning garbed around Feng Luotian's body as he activated Pinnacle Flash Lightning before rushing towards Mao Quanzhou.
Even though his speed was drastically plummeted, Feng Luotian still had his Pinnacle Flash Lightning and Momentum Eyes to make up for it.
As Feng Luotian was engaging in melee combat, although he could stand an equal ground when fighting Mao Quanzhou without getting hit, he could not deal any damage to his opponent either.
Meanwhile, the previous thunder woke Tu Lingxi up from her stupefaction. She collected herself before she fetched a sakura petal from her bag and placed it under her foot.
///// [Void Jump] : The user can jump from anything without ricocheting or impacting the jumping ground.
///// [Petal Prance] : Increase the user's jump speed and jump force when jumping from a flower petal.
Tu Lingxi soundlessly jumped high up in the air.
Once she reached the highest point, she retrieved a seed from her bag and cast: "Thousand Sakura."
With the activation of the skill, a seed transformed into a thousand petals of sakura, scattering amongst the wind.
The skill to transform a seed into a thousand petals? Others would look down on such a useless skill, but not the owner of White Bolt Floral Rabbit bloodline.
This was a perfectly compatible skill she could imagine because, with just one skill, she could have a thousand launching pads all around her enemies.
From one petal to another, Tu Lingxi incessantly hopped around the air, heading towards Mao Quanzhou.
On the ground, Feng Luotian and Mao Quanzhou were fiercely clashing with each other, but no one could land a clean hit on another.
However, the longer they fought, the more disadvantageous Feng Luotian would be. It had been a while since he maintained his Pinnacle Flash Lightning, and his Theríon was running low.
He had considered a lot of strategies to deal with his opponent quickly, but with his speed being drastically dwindled down under the Evil Typhoon's effect, there were no options to choose.
Even more than that, even with his Momentum Eyes, Feng Luotian needed to spend all of his focus on dodging Mao Quanzhou's attacks because not only must he avoid the melee attacks from the front, but there were also five Evil Cyclones, controlled by Mao Quanzhou, that would attack him from the side and behind.
Feng Luotian knew full well of his ability's weak point.
Momentum Eyes could see the path of projectile only within their vision range. Any projectile occurring behind him would render the ability useless. After calculating how to dodge the attack from the front, he would have to glance around from time to time.
Thankfully, with all the battle experiences he got from his previous timeline, Feng Luotian could stay his focus for quite a long time. Otherwise, he would already have made some mistakes causing his opponent to gain an advantage over him.
After exchanging dozens of moves against Mao Quanzhou and not being able to find a better way, Feng Luotian felt irritated: "Damn!! This is troublesome."
He had another trump card, but he did not want to use it right now. Then suddenly, a voice from heaven sounded: "Big Brother Feng, move out!!"
It was Tu Lingxi who was descending from the sky.
"About time, Sister Tu!!" Feng Luotian cheered.
As he was only a Five Fangs Fighter, his speed within Evil Typhoon was reduced more than Tu Lingxi's. He could only drag the fight out with Mao Quanzhou, and he could not do anything more than that. He had no choice but to let Tu Lingxi finish the job.
Before Feng Luotian retreated, he gave one last gift to Mao Quanzhou by frenziedly attacking all of the weak spots at an extreme speed, not giving him time to prepare for Tu Lingxi's ultimate move.
"You annoying brat!!" Mao Quanzhou had no choice but to defend himself from Feng Luotian's attacks.
After Feng Luotian finished giving his presents, he withdrew with a taunt: "Good Luck. Even with all the show-offs, you still can't take down one single annoying brat. Hahaha."
Feng Luotian casually waved his hand as he flashed away from the battle. He also swallowed a dozen Moon Lotus Seeds to replenish his Theríon as he did not forget that there was still someone even stronger left to fight.
"Brat!! I'll kill you!!"
A fragment of the moment where Mao Quanzhou lost himself to rage at Feng Luotian's provocation, Tu Lingxi closed in and performed a killing move.
She started with a stab in the back with her dagger.
But when the sting woke Mao Quanzhou as he turned his body around, she had already disappeared.
He then felt another acute pain from the back of his knees, driving him to kneel down as his tendons were cut.
One slice after another was delivered upon the crouching figure by Tu Lingxi as she jumped around on sakura petals, while Mao Quanzhou himself could not catch her shadow even once.
Even with the dampening effect of Evil Typhoon, Tu Lingxi could still perform at such a speed.
"It was no wonder why she was so proudly giving a lot of credits to her speed earlier." Feng Luotian thought.
Finally, Mao Quanzhou's bloody body collapsed to the ground. Evil Typhoon slowly vanished as the sky turned clear, and everybody's speed was returned to normal.
Tu Lingxi appeared beside Mao Quanzhou's blood-soaked figure before she got behind his back, pulled his head up, and placed a dagger at his throat: "Tell your men and your leader to leave!!"
Although Mao Quanzhou was covered in the blood beyond recognition, his life was still intact. As a cultivator, his life force was much stronger than normal people.
"It's you all who should be surrendering your lives!!" Mao Quanzhou crazily laughed.
"Do you want to die that much?"
Tu Lingxi pulled the dagger closer to his throat.
BOOM!!
A burst of Theríon suddenly blasted her away.
Five Evil Cyclones flashed into Mao Quanzhou's body. Before long, his injuries were rapidly healed at the rate which the naked eyes could see.
Witnessing this, Tu Lingxi was aghast and did not know what to do to this man who she now thought was an unkillable immortal.
Mao Quanzhou got up and turned to Tu Lingxi.
He smirked: "Lass, who do you think you are? You think trash like you can kill someone like m—"
Before he finished his sentence, Mao Quanzhou saw a hand appear in front of his eyes before his vision went dark right afterward. It happened so fast that the surrounding people felt like the time had been frozen.
"You spoke too much."
The sound of a head dropping, an echo of a body collapsing, and a sentence brought everyone back to reality.
