Chapter 446: The Earth Rises a Dragon, One Sword Shines Over Jiuzhou!
BOOM!
With a shake of Fan Li’s hand, a flaming long spear suddenly appeared in his grasp. A terrifying aura pierced through heaven and earth as an overwhelming sense of invincibility rose from him.
"The Fire God Spear!" the Great Elder exclaimed, his face filled with horror.
A disciple asked, "Great Elder, what is the Fire God Spear?"
The Great Elder took two deep breaths and said, "The Fire God Spear is the most powerful treasure of our Fire Cloud Sect. It’s said to be a relic left by the first Sect Leader, the Fire Cloud Evil God. This spear holds immense power; ordinary people simply cannot wield it!"
"The Fire Cloud Evil God!"
The faces of the Fire Cloud Sect disciples lit up with excitement. One of them said, "With this spear, doesn’t that make our Sect Leader invincible?"
The Great Elder nodded heavily. "Without a doubt! The Fire God Spear was the weapon of the Fire Cloud Evil God. It accompanied him in his conquests, achieving legendary feats. Although the Fire Cloud Evil God has long since disappeared, this spear has been passed down."
The Great Elder’s eyes shone with a fervent light. "Once the Fire God Spear is unleashed, who can stand against it!"
"Our Sect Leader will be victorious!"
"The Fire Cloud Sect will be victorious!"
The Fire Cloud Sect disciples were ecstatic, their faces radiating with excitement.
Fan Li held the Fire God Spear, clad in a robe of flames. His aura flowed seamlessly, making him resemble a true Fire God in the mortal world, exuding endless majesty.
"Lin Wudi, in this battle, one of us will die!" Pointing the long spear at Lin Mu, Fan Li declared, "Bring out your weapon!"
Lin Mu looked at Fan Li, his eyes narrowing slightly. At this moment, Fan Li’s presence was even stronger than before. The Fire God Spear in his hand, in particular, gave Lin Mu a strange sensation, as if the weapon possessed its own intelligence.
To think, this spear is almost a Spiritual Artifact.
Magic Artifacts were classified into tiers. From lowest to highest, they were: Spiritual Artifact, Magic Artifact, Immortal Artifact, and Divine Artifact!
Lin Mu’s Yulong Sword was currently just a Spiritual Artifact. But in his hands, it was comparable to a Magic Artifact. And the Fire God Spear in Fan Li’s grasp was on the verge of becoming a Spiritual Artifact. This was truly a rare sight on an Earth so scarce in Spiritual Energy.
"If I were to draw my weapon, you wouldn’t stand a chance," Lin Mu said, shaking his head. He raised an arm, palm facing upward.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Above the Fire Cloud Sect, thunder roared fiercely. Everyone felt their skin tighten, as if something was about to descend from the nine heavens. Even Fan Li instinctively looked up, a solemn expression in his eyes.
CRACK!
A peal of thunder echoed as a blinding bolt of lightning descended from the sky, landing right in front of Lin Mu. Everyone was startled, thinking Lin Mu had angered the Thunder God and been struck by lightning.
However, Fan Li’s expression grew even more grave, a flash of alarm flickering in his eyes. He saw Lin Mu actually reach out and slowly grasp the bolt of lightning.
SIZZLE!
Endless electrical light spread out, causing Jia Jianguo and the others to retreat repeatedly, afraid of being caught in the blast. When the lightning vanished, a longsword had appeared in Lin Mu’s hand.
The sword was three feet and six inches long, with a cyan scabbard that resembled lush green vines. The hilt itself was entwined with vines, shaped like an ancient dragon.
"To forge a Heaven Lightning Born Sword... Lin Wudi, your ingenuity is truly wondrous and godlike!" Fan Li praised. "But do you really think you can fight me with this sword?"
Lin Mu shook his head and replied, "You’re wrong. I don’t wish to draw my sword."
Fan Li was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Because if I draw it, you will have no chance left."
Hearing Lin Mu’s response, Fan Li grew enraged, the wild flames around him threatening to incinerate his opponent. "Lin Wudi, I admit you’re powerful, but you are going too far!"
As his words fell, Fan Li’s wrist flicked. The Fire God Spear danced with a flourish of attacks, thrusting directly at Lin Mu. A spear strike like a dragon! This perfectly described Fan Li. The terrifying power of the flames combined with the scorching heat of the Fire God Spear, forming a startling force. The spear was so fast that an ordinary Martial Artist wouldn’t have been able to react.
However, Lin Mu simply held his sword sheathed horizontally before him. The tip of the Fire God Spear struck the sheath.
DING!
A shower of sparks erupted, but the sheath remained completely still. The Fire God Spear, however, was sent flying backward.
Clutching his spear, Fan Li’s expression turned exceedingly grave. He hadn’t expected that even with the power of the Fire God Spear, he couldn’t shake Lin Mu in the slightest.
Is this Lin Wudi truly undefeated in the world?
I don’t believe it! Fan Li roared inwardly as the endless True Qi within him circulated, pouring entirely into the Fire God Spear.
BOOM! BOOM!
An incredible power erupted from Fan Li’s body, and the shaft of the Fire God Spear began to crack. But it did not truly break. Instead, it was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, amassing a ferocious power within.
"Everyone, retreat quickly!" the Great Elder yelled, his expression changing drastically as if he had realized something.
Some disciples were still confused and moved too slowly. In the next moment, they paid a heavy price for their ignorance.
BOOM!
An unprecedented aura burst forth from Fan Li. His entire body lifted three feet off the ground, where he began to hover slowly. The Fire God Spear in his hands became incredibly thick, waves of power spilling out from its shaft. The ground below melted, and buildings began to collapse. A few disciples couldn’t withstand the horrifying temperature and their bodies abruptly burst into flames as they screamed in agony.
Fan Li turned a blind eye to them. He closed his eyes, his battle robe fluttering noisily behind him.
Suddenly, Fan Li’s eyes snapped open, and a beam of firelight shot forth from them. He slowly loosened his grip, and the Fire God Spear floated before him, its tip aimed directly at Lin Mu.
The stars shone in the night. Flames surged upward.
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only Fan Li, suspended in mid-air, was the most dazzling sight. He was like a true Fire God descending upon the mortal world.
"Lin Wudi, this is the single strongest attack of my entire life. If you can take it, I will die!" True Qi flowed continuously from Fan Li’s body into the Fire God Spear. His complexion grew paler and paler, and his face even began to crack. "But if you can’t, then you will die!"
As his voice faded, the last wisp of True Qi in Fan Li’s body poured into the Fire God Spear.
BOOM!
In mid-air, a giant spear, easily ten meters long, suddenly materialized.
"Go!"
Fan Li slapped the butt of the Fire God Spear. The long spear howled through the air, charging toward Lin Mu like a cannonball. It was like heavenly fire descending, like the wrath of the Fire God himself. This one strike, carrying all of Fan Li’s strength and hope, shot directly at Lin Mu.
Jia Jianguo and the others had long since retreated from the Fire Cloud Sect. They watched the giant spear fall from the sky, their faces etched with utter shock.
Lin Mu stood his ground, his expression serene. Facing Fan Li’s killing blow, the corners of his mouth lifted in a faint curve.
Then, he placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and slowly drew.
CLANG!
The Yulong Sword was unsheathed!
The very next moment, a great dragon rose from the earth.
A single sword illuminated Jiuzhou
