Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 258 - 148: Toying with Qi Refining Perfection, Rejecting Fairy Cen
Gongsun Lang raised his head at this moment, his expression calm, as he was most skilled in earth magic defense techniques.
His body once again flew towards Chu Ning, but this time, he did not burrow underground.
Meanwhile, a hammer-shaped magical artifact had appeared in his hand.
Judging by its quality, it was evidently not of a low level.
However, Chu Ning did not wait for him to get close. As he raised a group of talismans, he activated an Escape Talisman in his hand and dodged away.
Simultaneously, he raised his left hand, and immediately, sky-high flames once again flew toward Gongsun Lang.
Unlike the previous fireballs, these sky-high flames were columns of fire.
They were exactly the batch of Red Flame Talismans that Chu Ning had rushed to produce last night.
He didn’t want to sell these Fire Talismans, fearing they might be associated with the Cyan Creek Sect.
But using them for himself was naturally not a problem.
After all, many talismans produce this kind of effect when used.
"Are these...Basic Upper Grade Talismans?"
Looking at the dozen or so fire columns flying toward him, Gongsun Lang finally understood.
Even if he were at Qi Refining Perfection, he wouldn’t dare be careless when facing an attack from over a dozen Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
He halted his steps and pushed his magical power to the maximum to enhance the earth defense shield on himself to its fullest.
"Crackle, snap!"
Amidst the bursting flames, the shield trembled incessantly. Although it ultimately held up, the earthen yellow had faded significantly.
Evidently, were it not for Gongsun Lang’s stopping to fully strengthen his defense, this shield would have undoubtedly been breached.
Withstanding one wave of attacks, Gongsun Lang once again pursued Chu Ning.
Yet, to his dismay, Chu Ning preemptively used another high-level Escape Talisman to dodge once more.
Then, just like before, when he tried to chase again, various fire columns came flying his way.
Forcing Gongsun Lang to stop and enhance his defense.
Thus, this scene kept replaying in the arena.
Meanwhile, the onlookers outside were also dumbfounded.
Although Chu Ning seemed to be on the passive side as the one being chased.
He neither suffered any injuries nor hurried.
Apart from the talismans he used that made the crowd feel a bit heartache, there seemed to be little loss.
On the other hand, after five or six rounds back and forth, Gongsun Lang’s expression already showed signs of impatience.
He couldn’t catch up and couldn’t hit, yet frequently had to fully activate his defense shield, consuming a significant amount of power.
It absolutely seemed like Gongsun Lang was being toyed with by Chu Ning.
Once again, Chu Ning evaded using the Escape Technique and then sent out over a dozen fire columns, which Gongsun Lang defended against.
However, this time, his earth-yellow shield was evidently not as vibrant as when it initially withstood attacks and was now near transparent.
Just when everyone thought that the scene would repeat itself again.
On the stage, Chu Ning’s expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly did not activate another Escape Talisman.
Instead, he directly used Wind Manipulation Technique to leave.
On the stage, Gongsun Lang’s eyes lit up upon witnessing the scene.
He wasted no time and directly used Escape Technique to charge towards Chu Ning.
Naturally, using Escape Technique, Gongsun Lang was much faster than Chu Ning’s Wind Control, quickly closing in on Chu Ning.
At the same time, the hammer he had been preparing to strike with came smashing down on Chu Ning.
Gongsun Lang did not forget that Chu Ning had a black shield-shaped Advanced Magical Artifact.
So, during the strike, he suddenly changed direction.
Sure enough, he saw Chu Ning raise the previously black shield, which, however, missed the strike.
Gongsun Lang was overjoyed as the earth-yellow glowing hammer came crashing down.
To Gongsun Lang’s slight surprise, the Magical Artifact originally in Chu Ning’s right hand suddenly vanished.
And in his hand, there was now a talisman.
The next moment, Chu Ning activated the talisman in his hand.
Immediately, a white light shield enveloped Chu Ning entirely.
The hammer, glowing faintly yellow, smashed down, and the shield remained unwavering, not even trembling.
"Intermediate Middle Grade Defense Talisman?"
Gongsun Lang seemed to suddenly realize something, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, his face changed dramatically.
Because simultaneously, he noticed Chu Ning’s other black shield also disappeared.
And was replaced with several talismans, and before Gongsun Lang could react, three golden flashes flew out from Chu Ning’s hand, aiming directly at him.
The speed was so fast that Gongsun Lang could not dodge it.
They were several Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans!
It was the Talisman Technique that Chu Ning learned from analyzing talismans purchased from the Cloud Sea Pavilion.
At that moment, Gongsun Lang didn’t care about unleashing the hammer. All his magical power surged to reinforce the already faded defense shield on his body.
Gongsun Lang’s earth defense technique was originally quite marvelous.
Under normal conditions, even Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans can be defended against three or four times without issue.
But his power had already been significantly consumed, combined with the sudden event, there was no way to fully exert his power.
Several beams struck the earth-yellow shield, and immediately, the shield shattered directly.
To Gongsun Lang’s slight reassurance, the buffering of this defensive shield prevented the leftover talisman spells from wounding him severely.
This was undoubtedly a great relief for him, preparing to gather his power again for the hammer strike.
