Chapter 2156 Moon Graveyard (1)
Yun Lintian, his movements graceful and fluid like a dancing willow branch, easily slipped away from the pulverizing blow. He reappeared behind the golem, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Is that all you've got, big fella?" he taunted, his voice echoing in the cavern.
The golem, enraged by Yun Lintian's mockery, turned with a ponderous slowness. This gave Yun Lintian the perfect opportunity.
He weaved through the cavern, leaving a trail of shimmering blue afterimages as he unleashed a continuous barrage of water blades.
They rained down on the golem, chipping away at its rocky hide. Though each individual blade caused minor damage, the relentless assault began to wear down the guardian.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Frustration etched itself onto the golem's glowing eyes as its attacks repeatedly missed the nimble figure dancing around it.
Yun Lintian observed the golem's movements carefully. He noticed a pattern in its attacks, a predictable sequence that telegraphed its every move. With each passing moment, the rhythm of the battle became clearer, like a melody he could anticipate and exploit.
A sly grin spread across Yun Lintian's face. He ceased the barrage of water blades and instead focused his energy. The water sword in his hand dissolved, transforming into a swirling vortex of liquid fury.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the vortex hurtling towards the golem's exposed leg.
Bang!
The vortex struck true, wrapping itself around the golem's leg like a watery serpent. The Law of Water, a force of erosion and control, began to seep into the golem's rocky body, weakening its very foundation.
"Owhhhh!" The golem screeched in a sound that resembled nails scraping against stone. Its movements became sluggish, its once powerful blows losing their force.
The golem soon stumbled, its massive form teetering precariously on the uneven ground.
Yun Lintian seized the opportunity. With a burst of speed, he arrived before the golem's chest, the water sword once again forming in his hand.
Time seemed to slow as he raised his sword, the blue light reflecting in his resolute eyes.
"This ends now," he declared, his voice cutting through the cavern's silence.
A wave of unease washed over Yun Lintian. This place felt eerily familiar, yet utterly foreign at the same time. The lingering energy of the woman in the coffin resonated within him, urging him forward.
He gripped the fragment on his chest, its faint light offering a sense of guidance.
As he navigated the treacherous path between the floating islands, a sense of foreboding grew within him. The silence was heavy, broken only by the occasional crackle of energy and the distant hum of the unknown. The air shimmered with an unseen force, testing his defenses.
"ROAR!"
Suddenly, a guttural roar ripped through the silence, echoing from somewhere above. Yun Lintian looked up to see a monstrous creature emerge from the shadows.
It resembled a grotesque chimera, a twisted amalgamation of a lion, a serpent, and a giant bat. Its obsidian fur bristled with malice, and its eyes glowed with malevolent red light. Its aura reeked of the God Ascension Realm.
A fire sword appeared in Yun Lintian's hand. The fire sword blazed with an inferno of golden light, a stark contrast to the chimera's chilling aura.
Yun Lintian, channeling the Law of Fire within him, felt a surge of potent heat emanating from the blade.
The chimera swooped down with unimaginable speed, its razor-sharp claws aimed at Yun Lintian's chest.
"Let's dance." Yun Lintian remained unfazed. With a whisper, he activated the Law of Lightning. A surge of electric energy crackled around him, enhancing his speed to a level beyond the chimera's comprehension.
He vanished from his spot, leaving behind a faint afterimage, and reappeared behind the beast in a blink.
"Rawr!" The chimera roared in frustration, its razor-sharp claws snapping at the empty air where Yun Lintian had just been.
Before it could adjust, Yun Lintian unleashed a fiery torrent from his sword.
Bang!
The flames, imbued with the Law of Fire's destructive power, engulfed the chimera's back, eliciting a deafening shriek of pain.
But the chimera was a tenacious creature. It whipped its serpentine tail at Yun Lintian, who narrowly dodged the attack with another burst of lightning-enhanced speed.
Focusing his mind, Yun Lintian visualized the Law of Wind. A gentle breeze swirled around him, building in intensity until it became a ferocious whirlwind...
