Chapter 2248 - 2237: Forbidden Technique

"Buzz..."

The sword light, like frost and snow, sliced through the air. Due to Dongka’s cultivation greatly increasing at this moment, the fierce power almost overwhelmed the longsword, causing it to tremble slightly.

Feeling the palpable murderous intent behind him, the mocking curve on the Green-clothed Venerable’s lips abruptly vanished, replaced by a solemn expression. In his previously empty hand, a green ball of light suddenly rose in a flash!

"Boom!"

The light ball pulled a shadow along with it, racing towards Dongka’s figure. The dazzling sword light collided with the green light ball, and at the instant of the loud explosion, a halo of mixed green and white light suddenly rose. Standing within the transmission array, Lin Zifeng only felt the ground beneath him tremble violently.

"Compared to Dong Qing, Dongka, you truly have more backbone!"

As soon as the words fell, the Green-clothed Venerable’s face fell, and with a shift in tone, he said, "But even so, ants are still ants after all!"

"Whoosh..."

At the instant the Green-clothed Venerable’s figure erupted, a blue-brown longsword flashed in his hand. With a sword in hand, the already overwhelming aura pressing down on Lin Zifeng became even more imposing, like a mountain pressing towards Dongka.

"Noisy!"

After using a forbidden technique, Dongka no longer engaged in verbal sparring with the Green-clothed Venerable, instead letting out a loud roar, causing the air to distort once more.

"Clang..."

The crisp yet deafening sound of the sword rang out. Lin Zifeng’s figure seemed to be shaken by the substantial wave of air, involuntarily stepping back, but through the flashing light of the transmission array, he could still see that the longsword in Dongka’s hand had faint cracks appearing at the point of collision.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

The sparks from the sword collision dissipated. Although Dongka maintained a calm expression, he still retreated more than ten meters before stopping slowly. The furrows carved out by his footsteps spoke of the perilous situation of the battle just now.

The Green-clothed Venerable also retreated seven or eight meters before solidly planting his feet and halting his figure. His eyes, sharp as swords, narrowed as he stared at Dongka who held a longsword, able to see Dongka’s clues.

The Green-clothed Venerable was well aware of Dongka’s strength. Someone he could easily kill with a finger now fought him to a draw, especially with the white characters flashing on Dongka. After secretly using his perception, the Venerable understood the situation.

"So this kid is using his life to buy time for those two traitors, humph, a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Though his perception was not as abnormal as Mu Ruoyun, the Green-clothed Venerable was at least a Thunder Tribulation Expert, not failing to notice Dongka’s life force rapidly diminishing, coldly laughing inwardly.

"Green Lotus Kill!"

The Green-clothed Venerable shouted, suddenly tightening his relaxed left hand, and the powerful elemental power surged out, instantly forming the shape of a lotus.

"Whoosh..."

The green light burst forth, astonishing Lin Zifeng as the lotus originally tossed from the Green-clothed Venerable’s hand turned into dozens in merely the blink of an eye!

Moreover, the power contained within each lotus was extraordinary. Lin Zifeng watched, inwardly clicking his tongue. A single lotus took all his effort to defend against, let alone dozens...

Before Lin Zifeng could ponder further, he was stung by the snow-white light flashing in front of him, forcing him to narrow his eyes to barely withstand the glare.

Observing closely, Lin Zifeng discovered that the light which turned the open ground as bright as daylight came from Dongka’s longsword. The glow lasted less than a second before dimming, but the dozens of racing green lotuses in the air had already scattered into countless glimmers diffusing into the air!

Despite the failed technique, the Green-clothed Venerable didn’t feel discouraged; instead, the mocking curve rose again. His goal was to hinder Dongka, even a second was enough! His true target was Lin Zifeng and his companion standing in the transmission array!

While the Green-clothed Venerable had a sinister smile on his lips, Lin Zifeng sensed something amiss. The sudden sense of crisis surged in his heart, prompting him to instantly unleash his elemental power, positioning himself in front of Dongfang Ziyue.

But it was still too slow. The speed of a Thunder Tribulation Expert wasn’t something Lin Zifeng could contend with!

"Whoosh..."

Pushing the Beast Emperor Xuan Yan to its limit, Lin Zifeng’s enhanced vision could barely catch the green light flashing before him, as the mocking face of the Green-clothed Venerable came right at him!

"Boom!"

Instantly reaching Lin Zifeng, the Green-clothed Venerable unleashed a palm attack without hesitation, the elemental power twisting the air illuminated by the transmission array’s blue light.

Feeling the might of this palm, Lin Zifeng was somewhat afraid but didn’t dodge, for the speed prevented any evasion, and Dongfang Ziyue stood behind him. With strength remaining in him, how could he allow the woman behind to be harmed!

"Dragon Soaring Soul Suppressing Palm!"

"Boom..."

Instantly, the blue light mingled with golden-green light, strikingly brilliant, but only Lin Zifeng, engaged in a palm battle against the Venerable, understood how deadly the radiance was!

Gritting his teeth, feeling the blade-like pain slicing through his bones and muscles, Lin Zifeng’s face twisted, but his feet, plunged into the ground, never retreated.

"Whoosh..."

As Lin Zifeng was about to falter, Dongka’s figure finally appeared, the sword edge resembling a cicada’s wing now flickered with white characters, morphing into countless afterimages, directly stabbing toward the Green-clothed Venerable’s back!

Facing the front and rear assault, no panic appeared on the Green-clothed Venerable’s face. With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Zifeng’s figure flew backwards, then he turned quickly, his hand holding the blue-brown longsword precisely aligned with the shrieking sword edge coming from Dongka!

"Clang..."

In mid-air, Lin Zifeng’s pain-twisted face clearly saw, through his faintly glowing golden eyes, the countless cracks forming in the sparks emanating from Dongka’s breaking longsword!

"Boom!"

Landing on the ground, Lin Zifeng shook his right hand, from which blood pearls faintly emerged, silently thanking his fortune. Had Dongka not arrived in time, in that instant of confrontation with the Venerable, all the bones of his right hand would have been shattered.

"Dongfang Ziyue, I’m going to help Dongka. Stand here; no matter how injured we both get, you mustn’t take a step forward!"

In the moment of crisis, Lin Zifeng warned in a deep voice, not sparing a glance at Dongfang Ziyue’s pale, beautiful face. Just as he bent his legs to rush forward, Mu Ruoyun’s urgent voice in his mind stopped him: "Master Zifeng, don’t go yet; the transmission array is dangerous!"
