Ling Tianlong leaped backward.

The explosion just now scattered a portion of Ling Tianlong's chest muscle and flesh. However, his heart, ribcages, and lungs were well-protected by his Dragon Earth Element Qi and Soul Qi.

Still, without arms, Ling Tianlong looked haggard.

Miaomiao gazed at his opponent and his severed arms. He took a deep breath and bellowed. The arms instantly emerged from the wounds the same way Piccolo always regrew his lost limbs.

Armor pieces of the heaven-grade bracers detached from the severed limbs and automatically equipped themselves to the new arms.

Miaomiao pulled the mouth cover off his visor. Then, he gargled and spat black blood to the ground.

Sizzling sound and white smoke came out of the saliva and the black blood as soon as it hit the floor. The black blood melted a portion of the ground where it had landed.

Miaomiao reequipped the mask as he had finished filtering the Poison Element Qi and merged it with his bloodstream, meridians, and life essence.

For the next few minutes, all his Qi attacks would contain poison properties.

"Hah!"

Ling Tianlong also shouted. Similar to Miaomiao's skill, he regrew his arms and regenerated his lost chest muscle parts. He also created a red energy sword with his bare hand as if he had a lightsaber.

"Energy Sword? You don't have a better weapon, I see."

Miaomiao smirked as he transformed Killer Queen back to her katana form as he needed more speed than firepower.

Strikes from polearms could easily cut through Ling Tianlong's defensive scales and his earth armor like butter. However, the attack speed was a bit slower than the good-old katana that Miaomiao was familiar with.

Killer Queen accepted Miaomiao's cocktail Qi, which was a mixture of Poison Element, Gold Element, and Metal Element. Her black blade became luster and glittered in dark green color, shining like Ling Tianlong's energy sword.

The katana blurred. A sci-fi-like hum came from Killer Queen as Miaomiao took the initiative to strike while Ling Tianlong was within his Death Fortress Sword Domain.

A thousand green lines flashed!

A thousand red lines also flashed!

Ling Tianlong's red energy sword blurred as well. He countered with the same spatial slashes.

Two thousand spatial slashes canceled out each other, creating cracks in the space between them.

"Annoying copycat."

Ling Tianlong complained as he glanced at the 65,534 floating Chinese characters, which had been surrounding them.

The domain worked differently from Jia Shan's Sword Domain. As long as Miaomiao's target was within the dome, created by the 65,534 words around the platform, any Qi Attack from Miaomiao from a distance would never consume a strand of energy!

Secondly, the strikes would always go for the Red Lines of Death, which appeared on Ling Tianlong's body. The strikes would ignore the target's defense as long as the lines could be traced.

Unfortunately, against the same skill user, Ling Tianlong knew a way to block the skill. He simply needed to use the same spatial slashes to intercept Miaomiao's invisible ranged attacks.

Ling Tianlong was also aware of the domain's power since he was the creator of his skill. He clicked his tongue and kicked the ground, flying toward the closest array character that worked as a pillar of the domain.

"You're not going anywhere! CHANGE!"

Green flashes of Miaomiao's sword attacks left a hundred deep wounds on Ling Tianlong's back. However, the earth dragonewt's bones were too sturdy. Killer Queen with Miaomiao's buff failed to cut through them and reach the important organs.

Still, everything was within Miaomiao's calculation. The time bomb had been planted.

Ling Tianlong sensed something amiss when Killer Queen cut through his flesh. He stopped flying toward the formation of words and used his swords to ranged attacks while he self-healed with his life essence.

As soon as Ling Tianlong was distracted, the word formation changed – [Domain] transformed into groups of two words, [Blood] and [Drain].

Once again, Miaomiao incorporated Vampiric Touch techniques with Death Fortress Sword skill.

The dome changed color. From a transparent domain, everything turned as red as blood.

"I see what you did there. But Death Fortress Sword, Word Formation, has several weaknesses! You can't complete it instantly!"

Ling Tianlong sneered as he gathered his strength to the energy sword. Then, he slashed horizontally, aiming at Miaomiao, who was still standing on the platform.

Sensing the unstoppable spatial slash, Miaomiao kicked the ground and shuttled to the sky.

But Ling Tianlong's body disappeared and reappeared behind Miaomiao with his energy sword overhead. The protagonist hacked down!

The energy sword hit Miaomiao's visor helmet, but it failed to cut through his head. A second later, the energy sword dimmed and disappeared.

Dragon Metal's bloodline and Qi showed their characteristics. It weakened Ling Tianlong's Qi Sense and Qi manipulation ability upon touch.

The helmet cracked and crumbled, revealing Miaomiao's real face underneath. He sneered at Ling Tianlong, "I was waiting for you to hit me with that."

"Oh yeah? Dragon Metal Qi's jamming power, I see. Too bad, it won't work against me!"

Ling Tianlong sneered and threw a right kick at Miaomiao. The latter parried it with his arm like how he usually blocked a high-kick in MMA.

Suddenly, Miaomiao's entire left arm, which had blocked the kick, shattered and transformed into flower petals!

Ling Tianlong used one of his trump cards. Anything that he touched would be converted into plum blossom flowers, becoming his tools and weapons.

Plum Blossom Killing Move, Flowers of Destruction!

Without a sword, Ling Tianlong used punches and kicks, trying to hit Miaomiao and break him into flower petals!

Being alarmed by the mysterious technique, Miaomiao retreated, keeping the distance from Ling Tianlong. But the latter pursued.

A hundred punches and kicks were thrown at Miaomiao within a split second.

Miaomiao left behind a hundred afterimages as he dodged all of Ling Tianlong's strikes. At the same time, he regenerated his lost left arm.

But Ling Tianlong's speed suddenly got faster. He threw a piece of long cloth and caught Miaomiao's legs. Then, he yanked Miaomiao toward himself.

Before Ling Tianlong could punch Miaomiao in the face and end his life, the heaven-grade tower shield appeared by the protagonist's flank and smashed him to the face.

At the same time, the tower shield shone in bright light, acting as a flashbang.

Ling Tianlong's vision blurred and he lost his grip on Miaomiao's armor. Yet, he didn't give up.

Not allowing Miaomiao to rest, Ling Tianlong ordered the remaining flower petals around him to become razor blades, sending them to Miaomiao.

Plum Blossom Blade Storm!

As Miaomiao had managed to break free from Ling Tianlong and kept a bit of distance between them, he turned around and faced the incoming flower petals.

He opened his mouth and bellowed.

FUS-RO-HONK!

The good old Goose Tongue's debuff skill returned, but it was not the same. Miaomiao combined a dragon breathing skill of Nero and Goose Tongue together, creating an earth-shattering roar that could repel any 6th-stage cultivator's Qi attack.

Millions of pink petals shattered, scattered, and turned into dust. Even Ling Tianlong, who wasn't suffered from the direct attack, suddenly lost his bearing from the sound wave. He fell from the sky as he momentarily lost control of his internal Qi.

Miaomiao regained his initiative!

He glanced at the Word Formation around them. The characters, Blood and Drain, had completed the new formation.

However, it was not the time to activate it yet.

Without waiting for Ling Tianlong to recover, Miaomiao let go of Killer Queen and drew a transmutation circle within his palms with his gold element Qi, after which he clapped his hands. Then, he pointed both palms at the ground below Ling Tianlong.

The ground below Ling Tianlong, who had been falling toward, suddenly glowed in golden light. Then, multiple golden lances were launched from the shining ground.

New System Skill activated. It was another fusion skill that Miaomiao had acquired.

Remote Alchemy Transmutation!

Remote Alchemy Transmutation

This skill originated from an ancient mortal realm, where humans practiced alchemy instead of cultivating heaven and earth Qi. Every mortal could use it as long as they understood the principle of alchemy and drew the correct transmutation circle.

By sacrificing one's lifespan, body parts, or something of equivalent value, one could perform an alchemy transmutation. However, it couldn't be used to resurrect one's life. Any violator would be punished by the god, who had lent them power.

For cultivators, they could offer elemental Qi as a payment to use this power. However, whatever the power output and the converted material's quality heavily depended on the sacrificed Qi, Essence, materials, biotic organs, or living beings.

At a glance, this skill seemed useless and mundane as it was something from an ancient mortal world. However, in a situation like this, Miaomiao could utilize it as a surprise element to catch someone off guard.

A million strands of Gold Element Qi had been consumed upon the usage. As a result, the gold lances from the ground contained the same power that Miaomiao had spent.

Ling Tianlong was surprised by the sudden appearance of the gold lances. As he thought that it was one of Miaomiao's main attacks, he flipped his body and turned toward the lances.

Two energy swords reappeared on Ling Tianlong's hands. He waved it around, parrying to incoming projectiles.

While Ling Tianlong was busy, Miaomiao aimed his right fingertip at the protagonist.

The dark flame was ignited on Miaomiao's finger once more as he had condensed Dragon Metal Qi and Dragon Fire Qi together into his fingertip.

The gathered energy created a massive flame meteor, but it also contained a tinge of green light inside.

Miaomiao pulled the trigger and fired the meteor toward Ling Tianlong!

Ling Tianlong sensed another attack coming for him. He stopped parrying the reverse rain of gold lance and attempted to fly away from the meteor's trajectory.

But the Goose Tongue Shout earlier still numbed his Qi circulation speed and the sense of his dantian. He couldn't gather his Qi fast enough to escape from here.

Without a choice, he faced the incoming meteor and used the same technique.

Flowers of Destruction!

The protagonist punched the flaming meteor!

BOOM

The meteor shattered. Half of the debris transformed into flower pedals while the rest scattered Miaomiao's Dragon Fire Qi everywhere, including the mysterious green Qi strands.

Ling Tianlong squinted his eyes and stared at the glittering dragon fire Qi strands for a moment. A split second later, he realized his mistake.

The Qi strands and the remaining debris transformed into tank toys with a small skull mask.

"LOOK OVER HERE!"

"SHIT!"

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Miaomiao already pressed the button.

Killer Queen, Sheer Heart Attack!

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

The Qi strands turned into napalm bombs. Flame engulfed the protagonist.

Yet, Ling Tianlong withstood the fire with his sheer toughness. He used the sense of pain to regain all his Qi sense and charged toward Miaomiao.

Miaomiao grabbed Killer Queen and sent more spatial cuts. A hundred green lines flashed before Ling Tianlong.

The protagonist only parried the attacks with his energy swords, being wary of Miaomiao's hidden tricks. He was temporarily distracted from the word formation around him since it hadn't been active.

Then

SWUA

One of Miaomiao's lightning speed sword slashes managed to leave a shallow wound on Ling Tianlong's arm.

Another goal had been achieved. Miaomiao activated the formation right away.

The characters, Blood and Drain, started sucking the air within the surrounding area, including the sky over the combat platform.

Ling Tianlong's blood and Qi suddenly gushed out from the small wound and flew toward the character formation. He widened his eyes as he realized what Miaomiao had done.

"Drain and Blood. So, that's your aim!"

Ling Tianlong stopped chasing after Miaomiao. He descended to the arena platform and slammed his fist on it.

The entire platform turned into brown soil. Then, brown soil covered Ling Tianlong as if they became his new body armor, protecting him against the blood-sucking formation.

His blood stopped flowing out of his wound, giving a chance for the protagonist to heal it with his life essence.

That was not all, a hundred thousand clumps of soil floated around him, slowly transformed into earth swords.

They were launched toward the word formation!

Death Sword Fortress, Sword Nova!

BOOM

Miaomiao was unable to stop the attack since it went in all directions. A portion of the words was destroyed, and the formation was ruined.

Still, everything was within Miaomiao's expectations. He patiently waited for "IT" to take effect.

'This is going to be a drawn-out battle. But how long are you going to last with a low tank?'

Miaomiao checked Ling Tianlong's remaining energy and his Qi.

While Miaomiao had only spent less than 20% of his Life Essence and Element Qi in this battle, Ling Tianlong's energy volume was almost depleted.

It was a matter of time that the protagonist would run out of Life Essence. Miaomiao wondered what this OP protagonist would pull from his butthole to surprise him.

Before that could happen, Miaomiao prepared another trump card to play.

'White Album. Prepare the usual Dual Flame. Standby for the signal.'

A transparent spirit heard Miaomiao's mental voice. She secretly moved through the earth and hid underneath the platform.

The clone of Xu Xiuying responded, 'Ready when you are.'

'By the way, how's your current strength? How's Xu Xiuying?'

'We've merged as one. Her soul and my soul become one, and we've inherited each other's memory. By the way, we're about to break through to the nascent soul realm very soon. If you allocate 100 trillion liters of life essence to us, we can upgrade our combat potential to 200%.'
