After severely injuring Ma Huoâs subordinates, Lin Changâshengâs cultivation and physical body abruptly surged all the way up to the Early Stage of Integration before finally coming to a halt.
At this moment, Lin Changâsheng and Ma Huo were now standing on equal footing.
"Looks like I underestimated you after all!"
Ma Huo said coldly. He truly had underestimated this brat, never expected him to actually have such a domineering secret technique.
He could raise his cultivation by a whole major realm in such a short time.
But this type of secret technique always had a time limit. As long as he could stall until it ended, the other party was as good as dead.
With those words, Ma Huo stopped hesitating and directly summoned his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
It was a Fiery Flame Long Saber, its blade engraved with many Brahma runes, clearly at the Middle Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure Level.
"You show up, and even bring me a gift? When youâre dead, Iâll reluctantly accept it, I suppose!"
Seeing the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure in Ma Huoâs hands, Lin Changâsheng curled his lips in a hint of a smile.
Wasnât this just someone delivering a treasure right to him?
"Arrogant!"
Ma Huo barked angrily, channeling his primordial power into the long saber, and slashed out with explosive force.
Only to see the long saber transform midair into a massive blade aura that split the heavens.
Fiery flames surged across the blade, as if half the sky was set ablaze.
Seeing such a powerful blade aura incoming, Lin Changâsheng naturally wouldnât take it head-on.
After all, their cultivations were now nearly equal; defeating the other in a direct clash wouldnât be easy.
Lin Changâsheng flashed aside, quickly taking out the Divine Thunder Bow again.
As soon as the Divine Thunder Bow appeared, the entire space sparked with thunder and lightning.
Lin Changâsheng drew the bow to its fullest, and with peals of thunder, nine Thunderbolt Arrows shot through the sky straight at Ma Huo.
BOOMâ
In the next instant, the flaming blade aura Ma Huo had slashed out crashed into the ground, splitting a huge chasm ten zhang wide where Lin Changâsheng had just been standing.
Even the mountain range behind couldnât escape, toppling down with a thunderous roar.
Meanwhile, Lin Changâshengâs Thunderbolt Arrows had already torn through the sky, arriving before Ma Huo.
"Is that really an Upper Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure?"
Ma Huoâs pupils widened in fear.
This Upper Grade Celestial Spirit Treasureâs power was far beyond his own Fiery Flame Fury Saber.
But just after releasing his blade aura, Ma Huo had no time to dodge; all he could do was sweep the blade horizontally, trying to block the incoming Thunderbolt Arrows.
BOOMâ
The blade aura and Thunderbolt Arrows collided fiercely, sparking explosion after explosion.
How could that hastily-slash blade aura possibly match the Divine Thunder Arrows?
The blade aura was instantly shattered by the Divine Thunder Arrows, which came barreling down upon him.
"This..."
Ma Huo was shaken to his coreâhe hadnât expected these Thunderbolt Arrows to be so terrifyingly strong.
In shock, Ma Huo could only channel primordial power to form a shield in front of him.
BAM BAM BAMâ
But under the power of the Thunderbolt Arrows, this shield was utterly useless.
It was blown apart instantly by the Divine Thunder Arrows.
The arrows slammed into Ma Huoâs body, blasting him back through the air.
Several bloody holes had already appeared in his chest.
If he didnât have the body of an Integration Stage cultivator, Lin Changâsheng would have killed him with a single arrow just now.
"With that little strength, you dare hunt me?"
Feeling the surge in his own strength, Lin Changâsheng felt elated.
Though he hadnât boosted a whole great realm, his primordial power was five times what it was before.
And after using Divine Dragon Power and the secret technique, he could reach the Integration Stageâhis strength had transformed completely.
Now, even facing an Integration Early Stage powerhouse, heâd be invincible.
"You little bastard, weâll see about this!"
Ma Huo was shocked and appalled, never expecting Lin Changâshengâs cultivation to be so terrifying.
Heâd barely even fought, and was already seriously wounded.
Now, it seemed that running away was his best bet; as for getting revenge on Lin Changâsheng, that could wait until later.
As soon as he spoke, Ma Huo turned and fled.
But since Ma Huo wanted to escape, how could Lin Changâsheng let him go?
"You think itâs not too late to run now?"
Seeing Ma Huo try to flee, Lin Changâsheng immediately stomped the ground, bursting forth with his Force Field Realm.
Ma Huo, who had just been dashing away at lightning speed, suddenly felt his movements slow drastically.
If Lin Changâsheng didnât have his Force Field Realm, Ma Huo really might have gotten away.
This guy had no clue what kind of immortal technique Ma Huo was using, but his speed was insane.
In the blink of an eye, heâd already put three li between them.
"Force Field Realm?"
Ma Huo was shockedâif it werenât for the force field suppression, he could have escaped easily.
Was he really going to die here today?
Seeing he had no other way, Ma Huo could only wave his hand and release the three demon beasts heâd tamed from his Spirit Beast Bag, hoping to buy some time for his escape.
These three great demon beasts were handpicked by him.
One was a Cold Ice Tiger, one a Two-headed Silver-armored Wolf, and one a White Feathered Flying Eagle.
All three fierce beasts had Early Stage Void Refining cultivation.
They could be considered rather powerful among demon beasts.
But compared to the demon beasts Lin Changâsheng had tamed, they were still rather unimpressive.
"Kill him for me!"
Ma Huo ordered his three demon beasts to besiege Lin Changâsheng, stalling for time.
As long as he got beyond the range of Lin Changâshengâs realm, heâd be able to escape alive.
"Let me show you what a Contracted Beast really is!"
Lin Changâsheng summoned the Fire Qilin and the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle.
Taming these two fierce beasts hadnât come easy for Lin Changâsheng.
The Lightning Thunderclap Eagle was a sky dominator; when Lin Changâsheng tamed it, it already had Middle Stage Void Refining cultivation, and now it had grown to the Late Stage of Void Refining.
