Chapter 1508: Chapter 1505: Under Siege

"Bang...."

There was another dull thud. Chen Tianlong widened his eyes in disbelief. He couldn’t believe Mengting had blocked another attack for him. Memories of the past flooded back in when he had lost her once before. Now, with history seeming to repeat itself, Chen Tianlong was thrown back into the past, engulfed by that feeling of loss that terrified him.

"Mengting....."

Chen Tianlong screamed out, tearing at his heart and lungs, as if he was on the verge of losing her again.

Meanwhile, Wu Mengting began to feel a tingling sensation, but soon after, she felt an incredible surge of energy, as though she had been recharged. She sensed a subtle explosion within her body, which was puzzling.

In actuality, Wu Mengting had broken through, and not just that—she had advanced two levels, instantly augmenting her power significantly. Any trace of Evil Qi within her had been thoroughly purged along with the breakthrough.

"Chen Tianlong, what are you crying about?" Wu Mengting asked curiously, observing the tearful and heartbroken Chen Tianlong.

"Huh?"

As Chen Tianlong was screaming, he suddenly heard a voice. Focusing his gaze, he saw Mengting with a flushed face looking at him, and immediately burst into laughter.

What had happened was that the powerful Qi had been injected into Wu Mengting’s body, and her naturally spongy constitution allowed her to directly absorb this energy, unintentionally boosting her strength by three levels. Now, Mengting’s power level was at the Celestial Dao Seven-Star Great Perfection Limit.

"Mengting, you’re really okay? You scared me to death." Chen Tianlong was finally certain that Mengting was perfectly fine and seemed even more spirited.

At this moment, the Ice Spirit behind him began preparing to attack again. Although it was an unconscious elf, seeing its opponent unharmed, it reacted and launched another assault.

"Mengting, watch out for that spirit behind you." Chen Tianlong quickly shouted upon seeing the attack.

"Oh?"

Wu Mengting wasn’t very frightened; she turned around to see the Ice Spirit attempting a sneak attack.

She was slightly angered; the situation had nearly led to the death of her husband, Chen Tianlong, yet now the spirit dared attack. Feeling rather annoyed, Wu Mengting swung her hand and slapped it away.

"Bang...."

A crisp crack sounded. Even Wu Mengting was startled by her own power, having not realized her strength had increased so drastically. Her fierce slap, infused with a strong Ice Attribute attack, shattered the Ice Spirit completely.

Next to them, Luo Qi was taken aback, realizing that this formidable figure next to the kid had been almost completely ignored, and now his Ice Spirit was destroyed.

Chen Tianlong stood up. After a brief moment of rest, he had largely recovered, though the situation remained dire.

Before long, the other six elemental spirits surrounded him. Luo Qi no longer just watched but leaped into the circle formed by the spirits. He planned to finish off both of them this time.

Observing Luo Qi leap into the array, he soared into the air and positioned himself directly above the center of the formation. Then, raising his magic staff with all his might, he caused the world to dim slightly, and the four directions stirred with movement.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong’s heart sank; this man was clearly trying to gather the Evil Qi from the surrounding air. The tinted gases began to continuously flow into Luo Qi’s magic staff.

"Mengting, you need to leave, something feels wrong."

Watching this powerful Evil Qi, Chen Tianlong grew worried. While his own body, encapsulating seven attributes, wasn’t much at risk, provided he took care, Mengting was different.

Wu Mengting did not have such complete protection, and if the Evil Qi was focused on her, there was no telling what serious harm could befall her. Chen Tianlong couldn’t bear to see that result again; such heart-wrenching pain was too much to handle repeatedly.

"Chen Tianlong, I....."

Wu Mengting initially wanted to refuse but, upon seeing the concern in Chen Tianlong’s eyes, bit her lip and nodded, "Alright, I’ll wait outside for you, but be sure to stay safe."

"Hehe, of course, I know."

Chen Tianlong smiled gently, watching Mengting leap and fly out of the encirclement.

The elves didn’t harbor much hostility towards Wu Mengting; their main focus was attacking Chen Tianlong. It might have been Luo Qi’s idea. Luo Qi perceived that although Wu Mengting was powerful, her apparent lack of combat experience made her less of a threat compared to this Celestial Dao Seven-Star Great Perfection Limit individual.

Soon, only Chen Tianlong stood within the spirit formation. Strangely enough, he felt a bit more relaxed without having to worry about Mengting getting hurt.

"Chen Tianlong, be careful." Wu Mengting was still a bit worried after moving out.

"Heh, don’t worry. Your husband doesn’t fear anyone, not with these little creatures at least." Chen Tianlong boasted, though his eyes remained vigilant, tracking Luo Qi’s every move.

"Okay, that’s good then."

Despite wanting to smile, Wu Mengting couldn’t muster one. Instead, she clenched her fists so tightly they began to sweat.

Chen Tianlong glanced at Luo Qi in the sky, knowing he was nearly ready to launch his attack. He decided to wait for it and then use the Sword Roar of Nine Heavens to dodge and counterstrike.

He was well aware of the power of the Sword Roar of Nine Heavens, being invincible during the charge phase. However, it had a flaw—after executing the move, he’d be utterly drained, and missing the target would spell disaster.

Therefore, Chen Tianlong needed precise timing, abstaining from reckless moves.

Watching as the elder in the sky prepared to unleash his attack, Chen Tianlong remained tense, fixated on the impending moment. Any attempt to attack now risked a retaliatory strike while airborne.

Thus, Chen Tianlong couldn’t afford to take that risk; given his opponent’s much greater strength—Celestial Dao Seven-Star Great Perfection Limit—being struck might be fatal.

As he pondered this, the condensed gases gathered by Luo Qi transformed into an array of colors, indicating extreme density.

"Die, kid!"

With a low growl, Luo Qi launched a direct strike with his magic staff from above.

Chen Tianlong seized the moment, ready to spring upwards and unleash the Sword Roar of Nine Heavens, but suddenly sensed something amiss; he felt something binding his feet.

Looking down, he realized it was these black vines, which had once again appeared.

What had happened was that Luo Qi feared Chen Tianlong might escape and had secretly summoned these vines, trapping his feet while Chen Tianlong’s attention was elsewhere, hence the predicament.

At that instant, a surge of powerful airflow was forcefully channeled into Chen Tianlong’s body, causing Wu Mengting nearby to gasp in horror, her eyes wide with disbelief at the scene unfolding before her.

"Chen Tianlong...."

Wu Mengting cried out as if she was about to lose Chen Tianlong forever.

"Boom...."

A tremendous explosion occurred as the Evil Qi mass, gathered by Luo Qi for so long, surged unabated into Chen Tianlong’s body.

Simultaneously, the Six Spirits began their attack, excluding the Ice Attribute. The remaining six elemental spirits unleashed a powerful Attribute Qi directly at Chen Tianlong.
