Chapter 2916: Momentum Like Splitting Bamboo

To the eyes of the other Heavenly Demons, it seemed they only saw a streak of dark red lightning cleave into the arena. Immediately after, Jialou Tian was blasted away, smashing into a giant boulder fifty zhang away.

The stone shattered.

This straightforward first exchange was usually just the start of both sides probing each other. But the Red General's very first strike upon entering the field was delivered at peak condition, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable.

First exchange, Jialou Tian suffered a loss.

The feeling was like a hunter being swatted hard by a giant bear, the force penetrating chest and back. Jialou Tian knew that if he hadn't gone with the force and let himself be knocked back, his injuries would have been even worse.

Taking this blow head-on, he knew the opponent's power surpassed even the Hundred War Heaven at his prime — such a Hundred War Heaven was one Jialou Tian was unwilling to face.

And the Red General's power was supremely refined, supremely pure, supremely concentrated, seemingly of the same path as Hundred War Heaven, but having already walked further than Him.

The golden pestle Jialou Tian used to block the Red General had clearly snapped into two pieces.

This was also a divine artifact that had followed Jialou Tian for many years; he never expected that just after descending to the lower realm, its very foundation would be broken in the Red General's hands.

But in the end, it had blocked most of the lightning sha for its master.

Feeling as if his hundred bones would split apart, Jialou Tian flipped up to his feet, discovering the wound on his left shoulder was deep enough to reveal bone. He had clearly blocked successfully, yet was still injured by the gang qi on the Red General's long spear. Inside the wound were sparks and lightning, crackling and popping, striving to widen the wound, to inflict secondary damage on him.

Jialou Tian moved his shoulder, and the large outer triangle of the Sequence Decree Divine Format rapidly rewound. His wound immediately flickered with green light, then sizzled, attempting to purge the power of Lei Ting.

This was the Sequence Decree Divine Format releasing energy on a large scale, to cleanse and heal his wound.

Jialou Tian's strength lay in the fact that the Sequence Decree Divine Format was not only terrifyingly powerful when erupting, but its usually stored energy could also heal its master — a divine format integrating offense and healing, flexible and convenient.

They weren't fighting turn-based, and the Red General didn't care whether Jialou Tian had stood up or not; after landing a hit, she wheeled her horse around and launched another rapid charge.

Relentless pursuit was her style; how could she leave Jialou Tian time to properly recover?

But when she was still seven or eight zhang from Jialou Tian, the air ahead suddenly shimmered faintly, as if a ripple lit up in midair.

Sharp-eyed and quick-handed, the Red General pulled the reins, and the Red Biao Beast reared up, stopping in time.

A mirror surface, or the entrance to a small world?

She lifted her wrist, and the spear tip flicked a small pebble from the ground, bouncing it straight ahead.

The pebble struck that strange vertical mirror surface, like a stone thrown into a pond, stirring up ring after ring of ripples.

But the next instant, the pebble came back out, returning along its original path, striking the spear tip with a pop.

Mirror surface... reflection?

No, this is also a divine art, called "Return the Treatment to the Sender"!

As long as the formula isn't broken, no matter how many times the enemy crashes into the mirror surface, they will be bounced back to their original spot, never able to approach Jialou Tian behind it!

The Red General recognized this divine art; her gaze swept the surroundings, wondering which physical shell the caster was hiding in. These Heavenly Demons had all shed their skins to descend; it was hard to tell them apart just by appearance.

The Red Biao Beast had just halted its steps when three Heavenly Demons simultaneously pressed in from the surroundings.

They meant to exhaust the Red General with all their might, and buy more time for Jialou Tian.

Seeing this, the Red General casually plucked an ornament from her arm guard and tossed it into the sky.

This ornament was a small red dragon, normally used to protect the arm and block enemy chops, but the second she threw it up, it came alive, spitting out a round, rolling thunderball in midair.

The spring silkworm spins a cocoon to bind itself; this red dragon spits thunder to bind itself.

It rolled larger and larger in midair, finally becoming a giant thunderball eight zhang in diameter, its surface flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder.

When it rolled, it would shoot out countless lightning spears. Of course, this wasn't an indiscriminate attack, but aimed at the Heavenly Demons below.

At this moment, the Death Point the Red General had prepared for them in advance became the best targeting marker for sniping.

Amidst crackling sounds, the first batch of lightning spears shot toward their targets, covering almost every Heavenly Demon, including Jialou Tian.

No matter which position they were in, the lightning spears could descend from the sky, striking with precision, the highlight being perfect tracking.

Jialou Tian had not yet stood up when he made a counter-clockwise rewinding gesture with his hand; the few Heavenly Demons attacking the Red General suddenly became twice as fierce.

This was Jialou Tian repeating an old trick, releasing Sequence Decree Divine Format power to strengthen them.

One Heavenly Demon charged at the Red General; she lifted her spear tip, about to give him a through-the-heart chill. Who knew the long spear had just thrust out when this Heavenly Demon suddenly vanished.

Immediately after, the second Heavenly Demon pounced.

The Red General's first spear parried his weapon, then the long spear swung back with the momentum, leaving her hand to shoot straight out. With a thud, the long spear pierced the Heavenly Demon's throat, directly nailing him dead to a large boulder three zhang away!

This set of movements flowed like clouds and water, fast beyond compare.

Then she dismounted.

At this moment, a figure no bigger than a mung bean seized the chance to rush straight at the Red General's throat — it was the first Heavenly Demon who had suddenly vanished. In truth, He had only used a Shrinking Divine Art to shrink himself, but his speed and power remained unchanged; his trajectory was practically impossible for the naked eye to catch.

But it forgot, it still had the Death Point on its head.

With this marker, the Red General knew its position like the back of her hand.

Just as He successfully closed in on the Red General, only half a palm's distance from crashing into her throat, the Red General happened to raise her leg and kick the third Heavenly Demon into the mirror surface straight ahead.

No matter how you looked at it, the Red General couldn't possibly block him in time.

A flaw, a huge flaw! The Heavenly Demon rejoiced, accelerating to punch through her throat.

Then came a soft *chi* sound; He crashed into an invisible electric net, bursting two or three large sparks, and was electrocuted into charcoal.

There was a scorched smell.

Only then did the Red General flick her finger to brush Him away, like swatting a small insect.

Idiot.

Her protective gang qi was endless lightning power. This idiot clearly knew she excelled at controlling lightning, yet dared crash straight into her body; if he didn't die, who would?

The Heavenly Demons sent down by the Lingxu Saint Venerable this time had good divine arts, but their minds weren't very flexible, and their combat experience was insufficient.

At this moment, the third Heavenly Demon kicked away by the Red General was also rebounded back by the mirror surface. He hadn't even had time to react when the thunderball above dropped seven or eight bolts of Lei Ting, all striking him in unison, without the slightest deviation!

Struck by heavenly thunder!

For a moment, everyone saw brilliant light flare here, so bright they couldn't open their eyes. Then this unlucky bastard turned into a piece of charcoal on the spot, charred fragrance spreading everywhere.

When the Lei Guang dimmed, the Red General once again charged to the front of the mirror surface divine ability.

Ling Jinbao under the Panlong City gate was so nervous her palms were sweating:

"What if I can't get past it?"

He knew this kind of spell wouldn't actively harm people; normally speaking, its destructive power was also limited, but it was especially good at making people nauseous, and very hard to break through with brute force.
