Chapter 768: To Strike A Rat While Avoiding The Vessel_2
Nowadays, with the activation of the Defense Treasure, Jiang Haifeng finally let out a sigh of relief.
As for what comes next, he only needs to deal with the fireball's attack to find another opportunity.
With this expectation, Jiang Haifeng was fully focused on the front, ready to make another move.
In the blink of an eye, just as Jiang Haifeng's Defense Treasure was in place, the fireball had already reached above his head.
In the next moment, the two made direct contact.
"Boom..."
At that moment, only a loud bang was heard, accompanied by a dazzling light shooting into the sky.
At the same time, a sea of fire formed, occupying most of the Sword Array's interior.
Within this sea of fire, the power of the fireball was absorbed by Jiang Haifeng's Defense Treasure and eventually dissipated completely.
However, the attack power of the fireball was strong, and its immense rebound force still sent Jiang Haifeng flying.
While still in the air, Jiang Haifeng's Qi-Blood churned, and the meridians throughout his body, even his divine soul, were suffering from immense pain.
For a moment, even the usually resilient Jiang Haifeng couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, his expression looking very pained.
In the end, his body crashed heavily to the ground, finally stopping his momentum.
Immediately after, a mouthful of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of Jiang Haifeng's mouth, his complexion turning pale, and his breath weakened slightly.
Fortunately, the terrifying fireball that Lin Tianming had activated had already dissipated, and Jiang Haifeng had withstood this round of attacks head-on.
For this, he also bore great pain and suffered some injuries.
However, his Defense Treasure was indeed powerful, thus blocking most of the impact.
Ultimately, the force he endured was limited, so the injuries he sustained were not very serious.
At the very least, the injuries on his body now have an extremely limited impact on his strength.
Just this point makes it an acceptable outcome for Jiang Haifeng.
Understanding this, although Jiang Haifeng's complexion was grim, he still felt somewhat fortunate inside.
And next, Jiang Haifeng didn't plan to waste any more time.
Because at present, he is already trapped within the Sword Array, where he is at a clear disadvantage.
At this moment, the Sword Array continues to shrink constantly, coupled with the fact that Lin Tianming is giving him no time to breathe.
In such a situation, he had even less opportunity to delay.
Understanding this, Jiang Haifeng, after ending the previous round of attacks, took the initiative to strike immediately.
At that moment, Jiang Haifeng formed a Law Decree with a pinch, consecutively launching several attacks toward a corner of the Sword Array Barricade.
His speed was fast, and his actions were resolute.
In the blink of an eye, several Sword Qi streaked through the void, getting closer and closer in his nearest direction.
At this rate, Jiang Haifeng's attack might hit the Sword Array Barricade in less than two breaths.
However, even so, Lin Tianming's attack came even faster.
Because Lin Tianming knew, at this moment, Jiang Haifeng wouldn't dare to delay, and his next actions would be extremely frantic.
Thus, Lin Tianming was constantly on guard for Jiang Haifeng's every move.
With the appearance of Jiang Haifeng's attack, Lin Tianming immediately unleashed a large amount of Sword Qi to intercept Jiang Haifeng's attack target.
Under his interception, several rounds of attacks collided together.
Within brief moments, the entire Sword Array resounded with numerous violent explosions, while the sea of fire never dissipated.
Not until a few rounds passed did the interior of the Sword Array experience a momentary peace.
By this moment, the two had exchanged blows several times.
During this period, Jiang Haifeng frantically attacked the Sword Array Barricade, only thinking of escaping its confines.
However, Lin Tianming had put in so much effort; naturally, he wouldn't let him succeed easily.
Under his interception, although Jiang Haifeng's injuries didn't worsen much, the consumption of his True Essence Mana was exceedingly large.
As for Lin Tianming, his consumption was also significant at this point.
After all, he had already battled Hua Zhenxing in a round before, thoroughly wounding him until he lost combat capability.
In addition, he also suffered minor injuries in that battle.
Now, after this round of ferocious magic dueling, his True Essence Mana was consumed by eighty percent, and his overall state was clearly not at its peak.
On this foundation, whether it was Lin Tianming or Jiang Haifeng himself, both were already nearing the end of their strength.
For such an outcome, Jiang Haifeng was extremely furious inside.
Originally, he thought Lin Tianming's strength was undoubtedly formidable, but that all came from the mouths of other Cultivators.
Including the ones he'd slain, like Song Xin and Wu Chengfeng, they were only somewhat stronger than ordinary Late Stage Golden Core experts.
Given that, he once believed that Lin Tianming's strength might not be as formidable as rumored by Cultivators.
Yet after this round of killing, he finally understood how terrifying Lin Tianming's strength truly was, with his created battle results being absolute.
This point, even as proud and confident as Jiang Haifeng was before, he now had to acknowledge Lin Tianming's dreadfulness.
And now, as the situation had escalated to this point, compared to the terrifying opponent Lin Tianming, Jiang Haifeng, as the disadvantaged party, was evidently more anxious.
The reason for this is also because Lin Tianming's Sword Array was becoming increasingly stable, with its covered range constricting, and the Sword Qi roaming inside not only increased drastically in number but also grew stronger in power.
Meanwhile, the oppressiveness brought by the Sword Array was becoming more and more intense.
In this regard, Lin Tianming clearly held absolute control.
In contrast, Jiang Haifeng, despite employing numerous means, still couldn't prevent Lin Tianming's methods of trapping the opponent.
And now, as the Sword Array's range constricting gave him increasingly more pressure.
It can be said that the current situation was increasingly disadvantageous for him, and the time left for him was also running out.
Understanding this, Jiang Haifeng was anxiously restless, but he was also determined to fight to the death.
So, seeing the serious look of Lin Tianming opposite him, Jiang Haifeng's eyes turned sharper, while his killing intent rapidly soared.
In an instant, Jiang Haifeng waved his arm, and a Fourth Order Attack Talisman flew from his hand.
Immediately, Jiang Haifeng pinched a Law Decree, and several rays of Spiritual Light instantly flew from his hand, striking the Fourth Order talisman paper.
Soon, that Fourth Order Attack Talisman flashed with light, then transformed into a golden light cluster.
This light cluster looked dazzling with golden light, exuding an extremely terrifying aura, an extraordinary presence.
And at the next moment, Jiang Haifeng activated it without hesitation, bombarding it toward the left side of the Sword Array Barricade.
At this time, seeing this scene, Lin Tianming's expression changed, hurriedly trying to thwart his intention.
Thus, at the very moment Jiang Haifeng made his move, Lin Tianming mimicked it to launch an attack.
This time, Lin Tianming's attack was no different from when he activated the Blue Heart True Flame.
According to Lin Tianming's idea, given the Sword Array Barricade's constraints and pressure, his primary attack target would surely be Jiang Haifeng.
In contrast, his opponent had to think about escaping the Sword Array's confines while dealing with Lin Tianming's powerful onslaught, essentially engaging in a two-front battle.
More critically, Lin Tianming had the option to choose, but Jiang Haifeng did not.
In such circumstances, Lin Tianming abandoning his interception of Jiang Haifeng attacking the Sword Array Barricade left Jiang Haifeng quite passive.
Because if Jiang Haifeng forcefully attacked the Sword Array Barricade, he would have to endure Lin Tianming's head-on attack.
Although Jiang Haifeng possessed a strong Defense Treasure that could significantly weaken some of Lin Tianming's attack power,
however, Lin Tianming's current level of attack was exceptionally counter to his means, and even with the Defense Treasure, injuries were unavoidable.
If his injuries were to worsen again, and the Fourth Order Defense Talisman couldn't break the Sword Array Barricade,
then it was foreseeable that the situation he would face would be evidently more challenging than before.
On this point, no matter how hard Jiang Haifeng struggled, he could not alter this unfavorable situation.
