Chapter 282 Attack and Defense

“Suicidal!”

Lan Xi flicked his hand forward, throwing out the flying sword he held. He then quickly formed a sword seal, and the flying sword transformed into a stream of light, shooting forward.

“Sword control?” Bai Ye chuckled, “I can do that too!”

Bai Ye spread his palm, and the Steel Slime rapidly condensed into the form of the Frostfang Sword. It then shot forward.

The next instant…

Two streams of sword light, one black and one silver, collided in mid-air with a crisp clink.

Bai Ye did not stop. While rapidly moving to the side, he quickly produced a talisman.

“Thunder Flash!”

The talisman held between Bai Ye’s fingertips rapidly burned, and then Bai Ye swung his hand forward. The burning talisman transformed into heavenly thunder, striking down towards Lan Xi.

“Starfall Style!”

Lan Xi rapidly changed his sword art and then pointed his fingertip towards the sky.

The flying sword instantly soared upwards. Its sword light, like a meteor, fiercely collided with the descending thunder.

Boom!

Sword light pierced the sky!

The thunder shattered, and countless arcs of electricity rained down.

However, as the collision occurred in the sky, Bai Ye was not idle.

Instant Transmission!

Bai Ye didn’t even look at the result of the Thunder Flash and sword light collision. He immediately locked onto his target and instantly teleported to Lan Xi’s front.

Combat must be unceasing!

The Shadow Axe appeared in Bai Ye’s hand and chopped down forward.

A trace of dark purple light emerged, heading straight for Lan Xi’s head.

However, anyone who could survive and thrive on the World Battlefield wouldn’t have only one flying sword, would they?

Lan Xi’s hand spread, and a new flying sword appeared in his hand.

The sword was fiery red, crafted from crimson crystals. The moment it was swung forward, large swaths of flames enveloped Bai Ye.

Bai Ye had no intention of dodging. The Shadow Axe clashed with the crystal sword, and then he swept a leg towards Lan Xi’s leg, advancing into the flames.

As immense force struck, Lan Xi retreated backward, using his sword to stab the ground to stabilize himself.

“Sorry!” Bai Ye said, clenching his left fist, “Fire doesn’t affect me!”

As he spoke, Bai Ye’s fist slammed forward.

Bai Ye’s entire arm ignited with roaring flames, transforming into a pillar of fire that directly struck Lan Xi’s face.

Lan Xi immediately stepped forward, gripping his sword with both hands and slashing forward.

The next instant, the pillar of fire split in two the moment it touched Lan Xi’s crystal sword.

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. The opponent’s crystal sword seemed to have the ability to control flames, not just release fiery attacks.

This meant that fire would also have little effect on Lan Xi.

So then…

“Poison Dragon!”

Bai Ye immediately switched to the abilities of the Poison-Poison Fruit. Poisonous liquid began to overflow from his entire body, and he then punched forward again.

The splattering poison transformed into a poisonous dragon, heading towards Lan Xi.

Lan Xi swung his sword with force. Flames erupted, and then Lan Xi rapidly changed his sword art.

“Flame Sword!” Lan Xi exclaimed, “Bao Jun’s Flame!”

Lan Xi swept his sword forward. The crimson crystal sword ignited again, unleashing a ring of fire that cleaved the incoming poisonous dragon.

And then…

Lan Xi’s expression drastically changed!

The incoming poisonous dragon was indeed cleaved open by Lan Xi’s sword.

However, the splashed poison landed on Lan Xi’s arm, and an intense stinging sensation instantly coursed through him.

Lan Xi’s clothes instantly burned with small holes, his skin corroded, and wisps of black smoke rose.

Lan Xi quickly retreated, rolled up his sleeve, and saw that his arm was already covered in ulcerated patches.

Lan Xi quickly produced a porcelain bottle, poured out powder from it, and sprinkled it on his arm.

But before the powder was fully dispensed, Bai Ye attacked again.

The Shadow Axe was raised high by Bai Ye and brought down.

Lan Xi quickly dodged, but in the instant of evading, a shock went through his mind because, at the moment of attack, the poison on Bai Ye’s body automatically splashed out.

“Tiangang Battle Qi!”

Seeing the poison about to splash onto him again, Lan Xi immediately let out a low cry.

The next instant, a faint aura appeared around Lan Xi, as if he were wrapped in a current of wind.

The moment the poison landed, it stopped about three inches from Lan Xi, intercepted by an invisible barrier.

“Hmm?”

Bai Ye frowned, but his movements didn’t pause. He followed up with a knee strike to Lan Xi’s ribs, forcing him back.

About four or five meters away, Lan Xi forcefully stabilized himself and spat out a mouthful of blood to the side.

Bai Ye had clearly suppressed Lan Xi, but…

Looking at the Tiangang Battle Qi on Lan Xi, Bai Ye couldn’t help but frown. The faint barrier seemed unable to block physical attacks but could deflect poison.

This was definitely not good news for Bai Ye.

“People from the Immortal Cultivation world are indeed troublesome,” Bai Ye licked his lips and said, “It seems I need to break through that so-called Tiangang Battle Qi first.”

As Bai Ye spoke, he strode forward, forming several talismans in his hand!

“Warm Mist!”

“Thunder Flash!”

Bai Ye tossed out a talisman.

The talisman burned and transformed into thick fog that obscured the surroundings, hindering Lan Xi’s vision. Then, three talismans flew into the sky simultaneously, transforming into heavenly thunder that rained down.

Lan Xi swiftly dodged, hopping left and right, evading two strikes of descending thunder.

However, Bai Ye’s talismans were not thrown carelessly. He predicted Lan Xi’s movement positions, forming a triangle to seal off Lan Xi’s escape route.

Lan Xi could not avoid the third Thunder Flash.

“Ah!”

Lan Xi roared in anger, choosing to meet the lightning head-on.

The Tiangang Battle Qi on his body became more concentrated. The faint aura enveloped Lan Xi’s body, and then he shot upwards, raising his sword to slash at the heavenly thunder.

With a bang!

The thunder exploded!

Lan Xi landed back on the ground.

That sword strike had split the thunder. When Lan Xi landed, arcs of electricity rained down around him.

However, the Tiangang Battle Qi surrounding Lan Xi had clearly dimmed as a result. Although it could defend against non-physical attacks, the Tiangang Battle Qi was being continuously consumed.

Bai Ye couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Plan successful, deplete the opponent’s Tiangang Battle Qi first!

Thinking this, Bai Ye’s Shadow Axe melted, and two Pulse Pistols appeared in his palms.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…

Bai Ye unhesitatingly pulled the trigger towards Lan Xi’s direction. With the gunshots, streams of pulse beams shot forward.
