“Hit!”
Faced with the incoming silver light, Ma Ling reacted quickly enough. He cast a spell as fast as possible, and an eye appeared between his eyes and shot out a streak of golden light that hit the silver light.
However, the golden light, which had frozen bullets and arrows earlier, could only slow down the silver light without really stopping it!
“Wind and Fire Spell!”
Seeing that, Ma Ling quickly cast another spell.
He then pointed the spear in his hand.
Hum!
The Wind and Fire Wheels underneath his feet resolved rapidly and blew out a furious wind, which pushed abundant flames towards the silver light and attempted to incinerate it.
“Heavenly Spirit Five Thunder, the rightful technique… Quick!”
However, when the flames from the Wind and Fire Wheels were just blown at the silver light, Wu Qiao, who was on the volcano down below, cast a spell at the same time.
Pa!
After a thunderous explosion in the sunny sky, the rolling fire and wind were reversed and moved back to Ma Ling, burning his clothes and hair!
“Huh?”
“Isn’t this the Wind Reversion technique?”
At the same time, outside of the volcano, several hundred soldiers who wore magnificent armors surrounded a glittering chariot that was more than three meters tall and seemed to be completely made of gold.
Standing on one side of the chariot, Qiao Daoqing waved his colorful fan and exclaimed in surprise.
“Isn’t that a Heavenly Spirit spell that’s only recorded in the legendary Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique? Is this woman related to the big shot on the Twin Deity Mountain?”
Then, he became slightly puzzled.
Yes, the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique.
Wu Qiao’s talent was mainly on the mental aspect, and it didn’t quite befit the Twin Dragon Island, which focused on martial arts.
Gongsun Sheng, as the only person on the Twin Dragon Island who walked on this path, never recruited any disciple. He didn’t accept Wu Qiao’s request until after the last trip to the Battlefield of Providence, and he taught her the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, the Perfect technique of his school!
Wu Qiao, as a beta tester who passed the initial trial, was definitely hard-working although she might lack aptitudes.
At this moment, she had gained Greater Mastery on some of the skills, and she already reached Extraordinary Rank-8.
Ma Ling, on the other hand, was only Extraordinary Rank-7 on the Land of Inheritance despite his powerful skills and equipment. He wasn’t as strong as her.
In particular, the golden light from Ma Ling’s eyebrows, faced with Wu Qiao’s Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, was also restrained as the Wind and Fire Wheels were, and couldn’t slow down the dagger anymore.
As a result, he was soon losing in the competition of Daoist skills and equipment, and he was retreating nonstop in midair!
“Someone among our enemies knows the divine techniques too. National Advisor, it seems that you have to take action in person!”
At this moment, a lazy voice came out of the huge golden chariot next to Qiao Daoqing.
Inside the chariot, Tian Hu, who was morbidly obese, was seated in the company of several maids who fed delicious wind and food in golden tableware. He didn’t seem anxious about the setback of the battle.
However, he addressed Qiao Daoqing in a rather respectful way.
Unlike Bao Daoyi to Fang La, Qiao Daoqing was definitely the official who was second to none under Tian Hu’s command.
Not only was he named “National Advisor” by Tian Hu, but he was also the “Left Prime Minister” and had great power.
However, after entering the Land of Inheritance, Tian Hu, as a leader, received Extraordinary Rank-9 power, so he changed his attitude and wasn’t as reliant on Qiao Daoqing as before.
“As you wish!”
After a moment of hesitation, Qiao Daoqing nodded and waved his colorful fan. Instantly, a black cloud arose from his feet and supported him to the top of the volcano.
It was Riding Clouds!
That method alone had shown that he was much stronger than Bao Daoyi.
“Someone else is coming!”
“Don’t let him interfere with the battlefield!”
Naturally, he couldn’t escape the attention of those on the volcano.
The moment Qiao Daoqing entered their range of attack, they fired a lot of bullets at him.
“Decree: Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers!”
Qiao Daoqing quickly waved the colorful fan in his hand.
A hundred fully-armed and black-armored soldiers appeared on the roiling cloud and blocked all the bullets with shields and weapons.
Even the magma cannonballs that Wei Dingguo launched couldn’t break the defense of those Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers.
Of course, they weren’t real soldiers. They were illusions, like the Wood Warriors that Bao Daoyi created earlier.
However, in order to do that, Bao Daoyi had to set up an array in advance, whereas Qiao Daoqing only had to wave his fan.
The gap between them couldn’t have been more obvious.
Pew!
When Qiao Daoqing approached the battlefield with a hundred “Fiendish Soldiers” on the black cloud ignoring the cannonballs and bullets from down below, Ma Ling already had several wounds under the pursuit of Wu Qiao’s Silver Dagger. Even his neck was bleeding too.
“The National Advisor is here. I’m retreating!”
Therefore, seeing that the black cloud that carried a hundred soldiers flew up, Ma Ling quickly decided to retreat.
Splash!
The Wind and Fire Wheels under his feet spewed out a lot of fire and supported him to fly to the black cloud.
“Huh?”
However, after he ran almost fifty meters, Ma Ling suddenly changed his expression.
Then, he trembled and fell from the sky like the husky did earlier.
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, a black cloud appeared right below him and supported the falling Ma Ling.
Boom! Boom!
However, the remarkable Wind and Fire Wheels crashed and caused two explosions and areas of fire.
“Wu… Thank you, National Advisor. Please punish me for losing the battle!”
Ma Ling, who was brought to Qiao Daoqing’s face by the black cloud, had no time to care about his equipment. He spoke to Qiao Daoqing with an unclear voice.
“She’s capable of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique. You’re no match for her!
“However, how did you lose balance just now?”
Qiao Daoqing waved his colorful fan and stared at Ma Ling with a vague purple light appearing in his eyes.
“Wait… Something isn’t right!”
In the next moment, Qiao Daoqing’s face suddenly changed.
Pew!
Several streaks of silver light suddenly darted out of Ma Ling’s body and penetrated a dozen “Fiendish Soldiers” that could block bullets!
Wu Qiao’s “Silver Dagger” was a piece of equipment that contained Transcendent power, but it was certainly not qualified to be called Transcendent if it could only be remotely controlled like flying swords.
As a matter of fact, the Transcendent part of the weapon was that some of its power would infiltrate the victim that it hit, and the power, like the clones of the dagger, could be remotely controlled too.
Besides, the power could somewhat paralyze the victim’s nerves and make it impossible for them to sense anything wrong. It was also the reason why Ma Ling failed the battle so quickly.
Ma Ling was hit multiple times in the battle earlier, but Wu Qiao never triggered the lingering power in his body. She was exactly preparing such an ambush!
