Chapter 767: The Conflict of Water and Fire_2
At this moment, Jiang Haifeng felt the range of the sword array shrinking, the sword Qi moving within becoming increasingly dense, and the oppression it brought was evidently growing stronger.
Suddenly, Jiang Haifeng was both shocked and angered.
After calming down a bit, Jiang Haifeng knew he really couldn't afford to delay anymore, nor could he allow Lin Tianming to trap him firmly inside.
Once the coverage area of the sword array reached a certain extent, the oppression it brought would be even greater.
By then, even if Lin Tianming didn't intervene to stop him, it would be nearly impossible for him to escape.
Understanding this, Jiang Haifeng took a series of actions again, thereby unleashing a large amount of attacks in a very short time, shooting towards the position he had just attacked.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Amid the sounds of breaking through the air, a large amount of sword Qi was under Jiang Haifeng's control, finally gathering together as it was about to reach the sword array barricade.
Soon, these sword Qi changed position, thus forming a magnificent longsword.
This longsword was different from before, not to mention its size, which was several times larger than the initial attacks.
Meanwhile, the power of this longsword was earth-shattering, like a huge wave pouring down from the sky.
At this time, just with the appearance of the longsword, even the surrounding air couldn't withstand such power and was squeezed to bursting, causing a series of explosive sounds.
Following which, Lin Tianming on the opposite side also witnessed all this.
When he saw Jiang Haifeng's actions, he knew this person was probably going all out.
After all, even if he stood in Jiang Haifeng's position, it would be impossible to waste time at this moment, much less squander this precious opportunity to escape.
Thus, Jiang Haifeng's response was entirely predictable.
As for now, seeing Jiang Haifeng become so frantic, he certainly wouldn't lag behind.
Therefore, at this moment Lin Tianming pinched a law decree, then waved his hand in a complicated gesture.
At the same time, as Lin Tianming's cultivation technique was operating, he was chanting something under his breath.
Soon, a ball of flame overflowed from his palm, eventually growing larger.
After two breaths of time, the amount of flame became more immense, and its color turned a few shades more vibrant.
And with the appearance of the flame, the temperature around Lin Tianming quickly increased.
Subsequently, Lin Tianming slapped the flame in his hand, simultaneously spewing out a mouthful of essence blood that precisely covered the flame.
In an instant, the flame surged wildly as if infused with some energy.
It is with such changes, the flame's temperature escalated further, causing frequent crackling sounds to emanate.
Shortly after, Lin Tianming manipulated the flame, forming a fireball the size of a human head.
As everything was ready, Jiang Haifeng's attack was also about to approach the sword formation barrier.
At this moment, Lin Tianming was not in the mood to delay.
He let out a loud shout and then hurled the fireball in his hand, directly targeting Jiang Haifeng's body.
Meanwhile, Jiang Haifeng, during the interval of his attack, kept a close watch on Lin Tianming's every move.
When he saw the appearance of the flame, his complexion immediately changed, and his inner apprehension heightened to its extreme.
Subsequently, when Lin Tianming propelled the fireball, the ripple was simply terrifying to the extreme.
Especially Jiang Haifeng at this moment found Lin Tianming's target was surprisingly not to stop his attack but headed towards his body.
Such actions instantly made Jiang Haifeng's heart race with fear.
The reason for this was that Jiang Haifeng knew if Lin Tianming's attack went with the intent to block his move.
Then at this critical moment, he himself wouldn't be at risk of losing his life.
However, Lin Tianming was also being crazy, completely ignoring the sword array barricade and using a terrifying attack to lock onto his body.
Faced with such an attack form, if Jiang Haifeng didn't change his tactic timely by redirecting the strong sword Qi attacking the sword array barricade to defend.
It was foreseeable that even if he succeeded in breaking free from the sword array barricade's constraint, he would ultimately be killed in one blow by the fireball because time wouldn't permit.
In contrast, Lin Tianming's side, due to the sword array being forcibly broken, would suffer some injuries.
However, based on Lin Tianming's strength and strong physique, at least he wouldn't be at risk of losing his life.
On the contrary, Jiang Haifeng didn't have Lin Tianming's foundational conditions, nor had the time to use other means to deal with the terrifying fireball's attack.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming's tactic of injuring the enemy and harming himself to an extent, indeed put Jiang Haifeng in a dilemma.
Still, Jiang Haifeng, being an old-established Golden Core Expert, and coming from a force like the Blood Red Alliance, had experienced numerous battles, thus possessing rich combat experience.
At the same time, with his status and background, he also had considerable experience and knowledge.
Hence, despite being shocked and furious, Jiang Haifeng still devised a counter-strategy in the shortest possible time.
And as Lin Tianming had expected, Jiang Haifeng didn't have the courage for reckless risks.
After all, if Lin Tianming failed, he would at most end up severely injured, but without life-risk concerns.
In contrast to Jiang Haifeng, his chance to survive was one-time only.
If he couldn't withstand Lin Tianming's attack, the outcome waiting for him would definitely be his fall.
Regarding this point, Jiang Haifeng was able to see it clearly.
It is precisely because of such a situation that Jiang Haifeng dared not take risks.
So, although Jiang Haifeng was furious now, he still had no choice but to redirect his previous burst of attack towards Lin Tianming's fireball.
Both of their moves were quick, and their purposes were clear.
Under their manipulation, the two attacks crossed a certain distance and soon clashed with each other.
At that instant, the whole sword array's interior was plagued with fierce winds and flying sands and rocks, as the two powerful forces occupying different locations first came into contact.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Amid a rumbling sound, the gigantic sword Qi and the fireball collided violently.
"Bang..."
Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed in the sky, accompanied by a massive fire cloud being formed.
In the blink of an eye, a large fire cloud filled the space of the sword array barricade, blanketing everyone's view.
Only Lin Tianming, relying on the Eye of Five Colors, could still clearly see the movements within the fire cloud.
And in his view, the terrifying energy within the fireball was released, significantly melting a large portion of the sword Qi.
Similarly, the longsword driven by Jiang Haifeng was equally formidable, even managing to extinguish a small part of the flame, eventually turning it into ashes.
Witnessing this unfolding scene, Lin Tianming couldn't help but furrow his brows, his heart filled with intense shock and hope.
However, he was also clear that this strike was the magnificent attack Jiang Haifeng had been brewing for a long time, and was unleashed during a desperate situation, carrying Jiang Haifeng's infinite expectations.
Additionally, Jiang Haifeng, as a Water Attribute Spirit Root cultivator, had his attack possess some restraining power against Lin Tianming, a Fire Spiritual Root cultivator.
However, similar to Jiang Haifeng, the Fire Attribute also had a suppressive effect against Water Attribute.
It is precisely this mutual restraining relationship that made this round of attacks' collision crisp.
Under such circumstances, after a brief stalemate, their attacks finally resulted in a victor.
As for the outcome, Lin Tianming's fireball was slightly superior.
After all, Lin Tianming's fireball was formed from two Heaven and Earth Aberrant Flames mutually fused, which painstakingly created the mutated flame.
This flame's power was immensely terrifying, virtually possessing the ability to burn everything.
Whereas Jiang Haifeng's attack was composed of water attribute elements, lacking the augmentation of any special treasures.
Thus, truly at this level of attack aftermath, their gap was still able to appear.
Therefore, although Lin Tianming's fireball was partially neutralized, it still managed to burn Jiang Haifeng's sword Qi completely, leaving not even a trace of ash.
