I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 53: Battle - Yan Lingdie, Ascending with the Dragon

The Palm of Five Thunder is a powerful move that Zhong Cang can only cultivate by gathering the power of the five organs and five elements.

When executing this move, Zhong Cang also concentrates all his strength into his palm.

Therefore, this palm can be considered Zhong Cang's strongest attack.

Such a domineering palm indeed pushed Yan Lingdie back several steps without any defense.

However, this palm only made her retreat a few steps.

When the Palm of Five Thunder struck Yan Lingdie, she was not able to react in time.

But the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, which was like a heavenly soldier, emitted a radiant light, causing the runes on its body to shine. This light connected the armor into one, making it invincible in defense.

What's more, a resistance fire ring was autonomously activated by the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit when Zhong Cang attacked.

"Boom..."

The combined force of its defense and the resistance fire ring caused Zhong Cang's domineering palm to not only fail to shatter the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, but not even a single crack appeared on it.

"..."

Having exerted all his strength in vain, this scene left Zhong Cang silent, and Yan Lingdie on the other side also sighed.

"I actually triggered the resistance fire ring. Zhong Cang, you are indeed strong."

"Unfortunately, my Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit is already complete. Now, it is no longer just a superficial giant. It integrates the power of fire cloud technique, resistance fire ring, concentrated flames, amplified flames, solidified flame spirit, and the Mo Yun spell... and many other spells."

A series of spells were spoken from Yan Lingdie's delicate mouth, many of which Zhong Cang had never heard of.

With so many spells combined, the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit summoned by Yan Lingdie possessed an unstoppable momentum, resembling a true heavenly soldier.

"Sixth level of Qi Refining!"

"Although Yan Lingdie is currently at the fourth level of Qi Refining, with the support of various spells, her strength is comparable to that of someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining."

Crossing two small levels and still having the possibility of winning the battle, Yan Lingdie, or rather the powerful Gold Core family's direct line, truly amazed Zhong Cang.

However, although he was amazed, Zhong Cang did not panic.

Yan Lingdie was indeed strong, but he was not weak either.

Quietly observing Yan Lingdie, Zhong Cang's hands were filled with the power of thunder.

Seeing this, Yan Lingdie immediately understood that Zhong Cang had not given up yet.

Yan Lingdie did not despise this, but instead looked at Zhong Cang with a higher regard.

"To never admit defeat, Zhong Cang, you truly deserve to be my acknowledged archenemy."

"As a sign of respect to you, I will also give it my all... Hmm!"

Under Zhong Cang's gaze, Yan Lingdie, filled with fighting spirit, shifted her entire focus onto Zhong Cang, ready to have a good fight with him.

However, at a certain moment, she suddenly sensed something and her expression changed. She no longer looked at Zhong Cang but turned her gaze towards behind her.

There, a spiritual beast incarnation, resembling a snake, a fish, and a sword, shot towards her back like lightning.

Spirit Beast Incarnation: Silver Dragon Fish.

As a swordsman, although it is said that the sword is not the person, Zhong Cang's sword is not so easily knocked away.

The reason his sword was knocked away just now was partly due to Yan Lingdie's excessive strength, but more importantly, it was intentional on Zhong Cang's part.

After the longsword flew out, he poured a large amount of spiritual energy into it, and then used his divine sense to manipulate it, causing Maple Flower to leave Yan Lingdie's line of sight.

And during Maple Flower's sneaky action, Zhong Cang himself also stepped forward, actively attracting Yan Lingdie's attention.

This plan was successful.

Yan Lingdie's attention was indeed drawn over. Seeing this, Zhong Cang immediately guided the spiritual energy poured into Maple Flower to shape the Spirit Beast Incarnation: Silver Dragon Fish outside of Maple Flower.

Then, the Spirit Beast incarnation, infused with Zhong Cang's will, merged with Maple Flower through the Unity of Human and Sword, and launched a surprise attack on Yan Lingdie from behind.

Unfortunately, although this maneuver was ingenious, Yan Lingdie sensed the crisis at the last moment and discovered the surprise attack from the Spirit Beast Incarnation: Silver Dragon Fish from behind.

However, it was enough.

"Chi..."

The sword pierced through the air.

The Spirit Beast Incarnation: Silver Dragon Fish moved swiftly with the wind and its attack was extremely fierce.

And while Yan Lingdie's gaze was focused on the Spirit Beast clone, Silver Dragon Fish, Zhong Cang's true form was not idle. With a swing of his arms, his palms, filled with the light of thunder, unleashed the power of the Five Thunders towards Yan Lingdie.

"Boom!"

"Hiss..."

One attacking from the front, the other from behind.

Although they were two individuals, Zhong Cang and Silver Dragon Fish were essentially one entity, with an extremely harmonious cooperation.

Being attacked by both a person and a beast, Yan Lingdie became flustered.

In fact, her swordsmanship was not weak.

After days of training, she had learned how to leverage the advantages of her heavy sword.

Each of her strikes was unparalleled in power.

This formidable attack put pressure on her opponents even if she didn't strike, making them instinctively wary.

However, while she could only be considered not weak in swordsmanship, Zhong Cang could be called strong.

In terms of skill, he was already dominant.

In this situation, being surrounded and attacked by the equally strong Silver Dragon Fish, it was simply bullying.

At this moment, Yan Lingdie could only feel one thing - extreme hardship.

Just like now:

"Sizzle!"

Zhong Cang's true form unleashed a barrage of thunderous strikes towards Yan Lingdie's head.

Seeing this, Yan Lingdie naturally wanted to counter with her sword.

However, just as she swung her sword, the Spirit Beast clone, Silver Dragon Fish, also made a move.

"Whoosh..."

As it circled around, it stirred up a gust of wind. The fierce wind was already adept at cutting, and with Maple Flower hidden within, it possessed the sharpness of a sword.

Of course, this attack did not break through Yan Lingdie's defense.

But the swirling wind caused Yan Lingdie to lose her balance, and her heavy sword deviated.

And this slight deviation was a flaw for Zhong Cang.

"Boom!"

With a flick of his wrist, Zhong Cang's palm struck the exposed side of the heavy sword, which was the weakest point for exerting force.

Being struck by this palm, Yan Lingdie's heavy sword was sent flying upwards.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Cang continued his relentless assault, while the dragon fish maintained the gust of wind, preventing Yan Lingdie from regaining her balance.

In this way, Zhong Cang attacked while the dragon fish disrupted, and the dragon fish attacked while Zhong Cang applied pressure from the side.

One person and one dragon fish continuously struck Yan Lingdie.

This coordinated attack made Yan Lingdie suffer six or seven strikes in just a few breaths.

The Spirit Beast clone of the Maple Flower Integrated Union also cut Yan Lingdie several times.

But what frustrated Zhong Cang was that all these attacks were useless.

Her Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit was like an impregnable fortress, blocking all attacks.

Even though Zhong Cang struck the same spot repeatedly, he still couldn't shatter this "heavenly soldier."

Seeing this, Zhong Cang knew that he couldn't win using conventional methods.

However, even until now, Zhong Cang did not give up.

"Bang!"

Another palm filled with the power of the Five Thunders, which couldn't break through her defense, but the immense force sent Yan Lingdie flying.

Taking advantage of the distance created between them, Zhong Cang did not continue to attack in coordination with the Spirit Beast clone, Silver Dragon Fish, as before. Instead, with a thought, he summoned the Spirit Beast clone to his side.

Then, to Yan Lingdie's astonished gaze, Zhong Cang rode the dragon fish and flew into the air.

"?!!"
