Boom!
At the moment of confrontation, the sky was immediately filled with fierce explosions.
The fiery Extreme Origin clashed with the ceaseless blood river, and for a while, they were at a stalemate.
The fierce winds stirred up by the battle unraveled both their hair buns simultaneously.
"Not bad, Lord Tan Lang," Yi Chen commented.
"You too, possess the means to exhilarate a Daoist to his core, Xue Lingzi," replied Yi Chengzi.
Their gazes locked; then, they both withdrew their moves.
However, this withdrawal was not a cessation of battle but preparation for a fiercer fight.
In unison, they both reacted.
Yi Chen's three-piece Qilin armor suddenly covered him, a small cycle instantly formed, creating an invisible force field. For a moment, Yi Chen felt his physical strength surge again.
He vibrated his long halberd, assaulting Xue Lingzi with a relentless barrage of strikes.
He moved like a drunken immortal, tearing apart flowing clouds.
