Chapter 491: The Battle Between Dual Affinity Users

Buzz!

The shimmering blade light, wrapped in biting cold, slashed directly across Lu Ming's slender neck, but the instant the blade light swept past, Li Luo's expression changed slightly.

Because the blade edge lacked the sensation of striking a solid object.

"Illusion?!"

Li Luo's heart chilled; his peripheral vision swept over and saw Lu Ming's figure gradually dissipating. Clearly, this was not her true body.

This woman is truly cunning.

Boom!

And the instant Li Luo's blade missed, thunder suddenly exploded on his right side. A streak of thunder light flashed forth; it was a golden slender sword leaping with lightning. The slender sword's speed was even faster than Li Luo's previous sneak attack.

Amidst the roaring thunder, it thrust viciously straight at Li Luo's head.

The speed of the Thunder Affinity is extremely swift.

However, just as that golden slender sword was about to pierce Li Luo's head, an eight-sided shield shimmering with golden light suddenly appeared on his right side, then collided with the slender sword.

Ding!

The sound of metal on metal rang out, accompanied by a violent explosion of Affinity Force impact.

Li Luo's figure retreated abruptly. With a wave of his hand, the eight-sided golden shield fell back into his grasp. He glanced at it, and his heart turned cold. He saw that a deep mark had appeared on the shield, nearly piercing it straight through.

And this eight-sided golden shield, though merely a White Eye Treasure, possessed quite good defense. After Li Luo obtained it at the Golden Dragon Dojo, he had been repairing it constantly. He never expected that upon its first appearance, it would almost be ruined again by a single sword strike from Lu Ming.

This woman is incredibly fierce!

And extremely troublesome.

One hand uses illusions that appear and disappear mysteriously; the other hand wields the Thunder Affinity with a swift offensive. In terms of attack power, this is obviously more domineering than his Water Affinity and Wood Affinity. If he did not have two auxiliary affinities to bolster him, he would truly be completely suppressed by the opponent.

Li Luo raised his head, his gaze fixed on Lu Ming, who radiated overwhelming Affinity Force. He smiled and said, "Classmate Lu Ming, your way of treating people is a bit insincere, isn't it? You appear and immediately use illusions to deceive. That is truly unkind."

Lu Ming sneered. "You, who are full of lies and sneak attack at every turn, still have the face to talk to me about sincerity?"

She was too lazy to waste words with Li Luo. Her black hair suddenly flew up, and her figure shot forth. The golden slender sword in her hand was wrapped in thunder light. Amidst the roaring thunder, it swept over Li Luo's vital points.

Li Luo watched the thunder-light sword shadow rapidly enlarging in his pupils. His expression also became much Solemn. Lu Ming's attack speed was too fast; it was so fast that even he could only see a blurred sword shadow.

Clang!

Li Luo gripped the Zhu Xuan Xiang Blade tightly. He angled the blade body, and a sword shadow wrapped in thunder light burst forth, stabbing straight and striking the blade body.

A piercing sound of metal on metal rang out, and two forces of Affinity Force exploded violently.

The ground beneath their feet cracked open directly.

The ground on one side turned scorched black, while the other side became wet.

Li Luo held the Zhu Xuan Xiang Blade, his expression slightly Solemn. He could feel an extremely violent Affinity Force transmitting through the blade body. This Affinity Force, like lightning, when invading the body, actually caused a sensation of numbness. The Zhu Xuan Xiang Blade in his hand felt as if it might slip from his grip and fall.

And his footsteps were even shaken back several steps by that violent force.

His feet stomped on the ground, splashing mud and water everywhere.

Clearly, in this pure contest of Affinity Force, Lu Ming held an absolute upper hand. But this was normal; after all, she possessed the strength of the third transformation of the Transformation Affinity Stage, and she also possessed dual affinities. Although Li Luo's dual affinities were main and auxiliary attributes, the opponent at least held the advantage of Affinity Rank. So, in the first true clash, Li Luo was suppressed by her, as expected.

Li Luo remained unmoved by this. As his figure retreated, the dual Affinity Force within his body surged like a torrent, rapidly rushing toward that strange and violent dual Affinity Force invading his body.

The Water Light Affinity Force and the Wood-Earth Affinity Force constantly divided and dissolved the Affinity Force invading his body at this moment.

In this situation of external enemy invasion, his two Affinity Forces appeared exceptionally resilient.

After a dozen breaths, he finally completely dissolved the dual Affinity Force invading his body.

Li Luo stabilized his footing, his eyes solemn.

"Eh?"

Lu Ming let out a surprised "Eh" at this moment. She could feel that the dual Affinity Force invading Li Luo's body had been dissolved. This speed of dissolution was faster than she had expected.

"Your Affinity Force... is a bit strange." Her gaze fixed tightly on Li Luo as she spoke slowly.

Although both sides possessed dual Affinity Force, and hers was undoubtedly more abundant, Li Luo's dual Affinity Force, for some reason, gave her a strange sensation.

It was more continuous and abundant, and also more troublesome.

However, Lu Ming obviously did not expect an answer from Li Luo, because she immediately launched an offensive again. She saw thunder light roar, and her figure transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting toward Li Luo once more.

Li Luo remained expressionless. His figure retreated, and at the same time, his hands formed a seal.

Splash splash splash!

In the damp ground ahead, mud-water hands suddenly formed at this moment, then reached out to grab Lu Ming's ankles.

Lu Ming's speed was too fast; it needed to be restricted.

But facing these reaching mud-water hands, Lu Ming sneered disdainfully. She tapped her toe, as if thunder light suddenly exploded beneath her feet, dazzling and brilliant.

"Tiger General Art, Thunder Shadow Step."

In that instant, it seemed as if streaks of thunder light afterimages swept across the half-sky. In merely a few breaths, her figure appeared before Li Luo like a ghost. She looked down from a higher position, her gaze surveying Li Luo. Her jade hand gripped the golden slender sword tightly, and the thunder light upon it leaped wildly.

At the sword tip, the thunder light flickered and surged.

An extremely dangerous Affinity Force fluctuation radiated outward.

Lu Ming formed a sword seal with her hand. Her long hair danced, and the thunder light surged powerfully, making her at this moment resemble a Thunder General—sharp and spirited, radiating fierce pressure.

Clearly, she wanted to use the speed of a lightning war to crush Li Luo directly.

"Tiger General Art, Golden Thunder Zhu Xuan Sword!"

Accompanied by her cold shout echoing through the air, thunder roared loudly across heaven and earth. The slender sword in her hand shot forth violently, transforming into a massive golden thunderbolt tens of zhang in size. With an unstoppable momentum, it crashed heavily toward Li Luo's position.

On the ground, a deep scorched black mark was torn open.

The golden thunder roared toward him. Li Luo's expression also became extremely Solemn at this moment. He could feel the ferocity of Lu Ming's strike. Even some people who had similarly entered the third transformation of the Transformation Affinity Stage would, facing this strike, inevitably be crushed in a direct clash.

It seems Lu Ming has no intention of dragging out a fight with him, but plans to end the battle quickly and then prepare for the final decisive battle.

"So I am being underestimated."

Li Luo lowered his eyes slightly, and his hand slowly tightened around the Zhu Xuan Xiang Blade.

In that instant, the phasal force bubbles within his body, except for the two filled with poison gas, all quietly shattered.

A massive amount of phasal force surged out like a flood.

This was not yet over.

Li Luo, without hesitation, activated the Jin Yu Black Elephant Blade in his hand.

First layer: Elephant God Power.

Li Luo's arms instantly swelled a size larger at this moment; veins writhed beneath his skin like small snakes as a torrential, colossal force rushed from the Black Elephant Blade into his arms, immediately tearing his arm skin, with blood streaming down his arms.

Feeling the power within his body surge at this moment, Li Luo grinned; he gazed at the golden thunder sword light rapidly enlarging in his pupils, crouched his body slightly like a lion or tiger about to pounce, and in the next instant, stomped his foot, causing the ground to crack apart.

The ancient, simple straight blade in his hand sliced through the air, bringing with it a piercing sonic boom.

It directly collided head-on with that golden thunder sword light!
