Chapter 219: Pursuit
A series of two thunderous roars erupted like spring thunder, heard and seen by the cultivators in the arena simultaneously with the flash of lightning.
“Crack!”
Accompanied by a deafening crack, the deep red light shield was directly pierced by the deep blue thunder, creating a massive "vacuum" area above.
The thunder continued its momentum, crashing wildly and leaving a large pit on the surface of the mining site before finally dissipating.
The hole pierced in the deep red light shield was about two zhang in size, with stars of red light scattering around the edges, indicating a worsening situation that showed signs of further collapse.
The formation of the mine had already been under immense pressure, and Zhou Zhuofeng's spell became the last straw, striking at the weak point of the formation and leaving it "half-damaged" with a single blow.
“Puff!”
The formation suffered a heavy blow, and the two alluring female cultivators who presided over it spat blood and were backlashed, their auras suddenly declining.
However, they had no time to recover from their injuries, quickly forming spell gestures with their hands and striking the Formation Disk, trying to restore the formation.
But the thunder attribute spiritual power was the most tyrannical, and Zhou Zhuofeng’s “Divine Sky Thunder” contained a violent force that rendered the two of them unable to restore the formation, no matter how hard they tried.
Such a powerful spell was something many qi refinement stage cultivators had never seen before, greatly shaking the confidence of the disciples of the Heavenly Harmony Sect to hold their ground.
Seeing the formation already half-destroyed, many began to entertain other thoughts, their attacks becoming perfunctory as they no longer fought with full strength, secretly looking around for their “escape route.”
With this mission being extremely urgent, how could the Yuan Yang Sect cultivators let this opportunity slip away, given that the formation of the mine had been heavily damaged?
The offensive did not cease for a moment; many were driving magical artifacts and releasing spells, and even resorting to other means.
Puppets, spiritual beasts, and corpse refining were employed mercilessly against the beleaguered Heavenly Harmony Sect cultivators, causing their faces to grow even paler and their morale to further dissipate.
“Ha!”
Zhou Zhuofeng took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling irregularly.
It seemed that casting such a spell consumed a lot; he probably wouldn't be able to use it again in a short time.
Witnessing the “Divine Sky Thunder,” Liu Yu was equally shocked.
If faced directly with the Divine Sky Thunder, even if he selected the three heroes or four outstanding figures, he knew there was absolutely no chance of winning, and he would inevitably be reduced to ashes in the end.
“Is this the pinnacle of strength in the foundation establishment stage?”
Liu Yu had previously only known that he was still far from cultivators like the “Three Heroes and Four Outstanding” or the “Six Harmonious Sons,” but he did not have a clear idea of how great the gap was.
This time he finally gained insight into it, having a clear concept of the disparity between the two sides.
With such strength, even relying on a few talisman treasures, Liu Yu would definitely not be a match, with less than a thirty percent chance of escape.
After all, talisman treasures could only seal a small portion of a magical artifact's power, and could not all be released instantaneously. On the other side, the opponent was a top-tier foundation establishment cultivator whose strength far exceeded that of others in the same realm.
The difference in levels was simply too great; one was in the early stage of foundation establishment, while the other was at the peak of the late stage of foundation establishment.
Thus, Liu Yu focused on improving his own cultivation, trying to keep a low profile and minimizing contact with such cultivators.
