Chapter 570: Joining Forces Against the Enemy

Buzz!

A jet-black spear shadow pierced through the void, raising a sharp, piercing whistle, with sonic booms erupting continuously along the way, layer upon layer of air waves surging in its wake.

It was precisely the "Sky-Illuminating Wind Demon Spear" displayed by Jing Jing Taixu.

Taking advantage of the opening left when the bizarre moth in Senior Ao Bai's pupils had been stunned by Sun Sun Dasheng's earlier ferocious staff strike, the spear shadow arrived in an instant, striking precisely at Senior Ao Bai's chest.

The silver dragon scales there had already been partially shattered by Sun Sun Dasheng's heaven-shaking staff strike.

And the Sky-Illuminating Wind Demon Spear further expanded the extent of that destruction. One could see pieces of silver dragon scales condensed from phase force shattering one after another, but beneath the scales, silver light still flickered, as if woven from strands of silver thread, revealing an extremely strong resilience.

The defensive Dragon General Art that Senior Ao Bai displayed with the strength of the Void General realm was indeed extremely troublesome for people like Li Luo and Jing Jing Taixu, who were at the Fourth Transformation of the Transformation Phase stage.

However, it was precisely at this moment that Li Luo's attack whistled in.

It was a blade wheel that swept across the void.

The blade wheel shimmered like rippling water, yet appeared extremely radiant and dazzling, as if containing stars and a great sun within.

The blade wheel released an astonishingly fierce blade light. Under the blade wheel's high-speed rotation, the cutting force of that blade light reached a remarkably astonishing level. At this moment, the power of this blade wheel was likely no inferior to any low-grade Dragon General Art!

The blade wheel's speed was also extremely fast. In a flash, it tore through the long sky, then slashed viciously at Senior Ao Bai's chest.

Squeak squeak!

The piercing sound and sparks appeared simultaneously.

One could see the silver dragon scales on Senior Ao Bai's chest being instantly sliced open. The dragon scales shattered, and the silver threads formed by the silver phase force beneath them also snapped one after another under that terrifying cutting force.

Such a terrifying attack also made Senior Ao Bai himself sense the danger. He immediately let out a roar. One could see silver light flowing across his body, and the silver dragon scales around him transformed into silver light streams converging toward his chest, attempting to block the shimmering blade wheel.

The two forces collided viciously, waves of phase force oscillating, causing the void there to show signs of distortion.

"Lu Ming!"

Li Luo saw this scene and his expression brightened with joy. He had already forced all the silver dragon scales protecting Senior Ao Bai's body to gather together, and at this moment, the rest of Senior Ao Bai's body had lost the protection of the silver dragon scales. This was clearly the opportunity they had been waiting for.

And the moment Li Luo's low cry fell, a flash of Lei Guang suddenly erupted from the shadows not far from Senior Ao Bai.

Lu Ming had clearly been prepared for this long ago, but previously she had not held much hope that Li Luo's group of three could break through Senior Ao Bai's "True Dragon Scale Armor." After all, she was well aware of the gap between them and Senior Ao Bai. In terms of the abundance of phase force, the Void General realm was truly far stronger compared to Li Luo's Fourth Transformation of the Transformation Phase stage.

Even though the three of them were the most outstanding

among the One-Star Academies of the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, Senior Ao Bai was likewise the strongest title holder of the Two-Star Academy.

But the final result was somewhat beyond her expectations.

Li Luo's final strike was fiercer than any of his previous moves!

"This guy can actually modify phase arts... what truly astonishing phase art talent."

Lu Ming's thoughts churned. Actually, modifying phase arts was not unfamiliar to her, because she herself was also a dual phase user, so she understood that if two complementary phase forces coordinated within a single phase art, it could indeed increase that phase art's power by several tenths. But Li Luo's modification this time was of a considerable magnitude—he had even altered the form of the phase art.

In a certain sense, this could barely be considered an entirely new phase art.

Lu Ming's thoughts flowed, but her strike showed not the slightest hesitation. When Li Luo's blade wheel forced the silver scale armor around Senior Ao Bai's body to converge in one place, her graceful figure had already appeared at Senior Ao Bai's right side.

Then her slender two fingers curved together, Lei Guang coiling around her fingertips like a Lei Ting finger seal, stabbing violently toward the position on the right side of Senior Ao Bai's throat.

If this finger strike landed, it would surely be able to sever the bizarre moth's control over Senior Ao Bai.

But just at this moment, the bizarre moth in Senior Ao Bai's pupils seemed to receive some kind of stimulus, suddenly flapping its wings violently. Then a wisp of blood light flowed out, shooting from the corner of Senior Ao Bai's eye, directly colliding with Lu Ming's Lei Ting finger light.

Hiss!

At the moment of collision, the blood light revealed considerable power, instantly dissolving Lu Ming's attack. At the same time, the blood light seemed to possess strong corrosiveness, then splashed onto Lu Ming's body.

The bizarre moth's sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectations.

This scene also caused Li Luo and Jing Jing Taixu not far away to greatly change expression. If Lu Ming were seriously injured, then their plan this time would be considered a complete failure.

Hiss hiss!

The blood light stained Lu Ming's delicate body, yet in the next instant, her figure suddenly became illusory and vanished into thin air.

It was actually an afterimage!

Li Luo and Jing Jing Taixu's hearts both jolted.

Lu Ming had executed a feint, deceiving the moth's final defensive measure!

Boom!

At the same time, on Senior Ao Bai's left side, a graceful figure wreathed in Lei Guang flashed into view. Her two fingers curved together, and this time, taking advantage of the instant when the moth could not recover its senses, those Lei Guang-wreathed fingers directly struck the position of Senior Ao Bai's temple.

Rumble!

Lei Guang flashed violently at her fingertips, and the sound of thunder surged greatly.

Lei Ting phase force directly permeated from Senior Ao Bai's temple into his eyes. The next moment, a piercing shriek rang out from Senior Ao Bai's pupils. Li Luo and Jing Jing Taixu could clearly see the bizarre moth within trembling frantically, wisps of lightning coiling around its body.

Although this bizarre moth possessed the power of control, its own body was clearly quite fragile. Once

As the power rippled to its main body, it could only wait for death.

Thus, after several breaths, the bizarre moth could no longer withstand the bombardment of that wisp of Lei Ting phase force, and directly shattered into nothing, turning into blood-colored powder.

This powder flowed down from the corners of Senior Ao Bai's eyes, turning into ghastly bloody tears.

Lu Ming drifted backward, her beautiful eyes nervously and warily fixed on Senior Ao Bai, who had suddenly gone still.

Li Luo and Jing Jing Taixu also maintained their vigilance.

Under the watchful gaze of the few, the blood-red powder in Senior Ao Bai's eyes flowed out completely. The next moment, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, and his complexion instantly turned deathly pale.

"Several of you, sorry for the trouble."

Then a hoarse voice came from his mouth.

Li Luo's group of four looked at Senior Ao Bai's eyes, which were gradually regaining clarity, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It seemed Senior Ao Bai had recovered.

However, Li Luo still maintained his caution and said with a smile: "Senior Ao Bai, this matter has nothing to do with you. That moth was too bizarre—no one could have avoided it. But to be safe, I suggest Senior Ao Bai temporarily not move, just stay there and rest."

Senior Ao Bai heard this, smiled bitterly, and said: "Li Luo's caution is necessary. Don't worry, my phase force is severely depleted now, and I can't move anyway."

Although he had been in a controlled state earlier, he could still see Li Luo's group's battle. To subdue him, Li Luo's group of four had clearly also exerted their full strength, only barely succeeding.

Jing Jing Taixu, Sun Sun Dasheng, and Lu Ming also said nothing, clearly all in strong agreement with Li Luo's caution.

"There are still three Purified Spirit Pearls left, so I'll have to trouble the four of you with this." Senior Ao Bai sat down on the spot, and his trident was put away as well.

"Senior Ao Bai, just wait for our good news."

Li Luo said with a smile, then shot a look at the other three. The four of them skirted around Senior Ao Bai without lingering, and all hurried off toward the next Purified Spirit Pearl placement point.

"Huh?"

Up on the high tower, the red-armored figure who had been keeping an eye on the Blood-Tailed Aberration suddenly let out a startled sound, and then his gaze shot toward a certain spot in the city; a flash of surprise crossed his eyes beneath the visor.

"The Ghost Moth was wiped out?"

"Those four little Diviner-realm brats actually took down a Void General-realm?"

The red-armored figure clicked his tongue. "As expected of the top elites from the various academies — quite the potential."

Still, he made no further move, because he himself could not leave the high tower; he needed to stay here and prepare for what came next.

So he merely smiled indifferently and looked away.

"Very well, the delay is about long enough."

"If this drags on any longer, those eight little Tian Zhu Jing brats will probably be at their limit soon."
