"Roar!" Liou Fang let out a furious roar, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
The death crisis made him disregard his severe injuries, barely supporting his heavily injured body, continuing to condense the blood energy to envelop his entire body, defending against the harassment of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.
But at this moment, the blood energy released by Liou Fang was clearly unable to withstand the array’s might any longer.
Bang! After the golden light passed, it struck his blood energy defense until it was on the verge of collapse, forcing several more mouthfuls of fresh blood from him.
Before Liou Yuan launched a sneak attack, Liou Fang could still endure within this Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array for quite some time.
But now, Liou Yuan judged that within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Liou Fang would die within this Refined Gold Moon-breaking Array.
"The path of arrays is just taking form; it hasn’t tasted blood yet. You’re the first."
Liou Yuan had already retreated outside the array, watching the swaying figure within the rampant golden light of the array, merely glancing once before ignoring it completely.
His figure circled around the front of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, slowly standing in front of Liou Tao.
This Liou Tao had truly been watching idly from the sidelines.
Even when Liou Yuan entered the array to ambush Liou Fang, Liou Tao showed no intention of entering the array to assist.
Seeing Liou Yuan take the initiative to reveal himself, a cold smile finally appeared on Liou Tao’s sullen face. In a slightly hoarse voice, he said, "I knew you’d have a way to set it up."
As the saying goes, the one who understands you best is always your opponent.
Liou Tao’s judgement about Liou Yuan didn’t miss a single step.
Just as Liou Yuan understood Liou Tao.
Liou Yuan pressed his palm against the blade of the Canglan Sword, pointed at the already exhausted Liou Fang within the array, and sneered, "You truly don’t care about your Liou Family members, I really think that guy’s wasted."
"To waste your setup with a dog at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, it was thoroughly worth it." Liou Tao’s gloomy gaze stared straight into Liou Yuan’s eyes. As he spoke, his hand slowly began forming seals.
When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred, and there’s no need for further words at this moment.
Both of these ice and fog talents of the Liou Family saw the boiling killing intent in each other’s eyes.
At the moment Liou Tao’s hands started forming seals, the fierce light in Liou Yuan’s dark eyes surged. Having once faced Liou Tao’s Cloud Manipulation, he wouldn’t give him the chance to form seals right in front of him.
Bang! Shock Tide’s sword force lashed out.
The surging sword waves swept across towards Liou Tao.
Yet, Liou Tao stood his ground, facing Liou Yuan’s sword without dodging, allowing the sword’s edge to sweep across his body.
A bizarre scene occurred. After Green Tide’s sword energy swept over, Liou Tao’s body split in two, yet no blood spilled out. It merely turned into a mass of gray mist and dispersed on the spot.
"This guy! He had already cast a spell during my duel with Liou Fang." Liou Yuan let out a cold laugh, activated his Evil Eyes, and looked around, trying to find Liou Tao’s location.
However, all he could see was a thick gray mist where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face.
The rolling mist spread from all directions, filling the canyon passage completely.
Liou Yuan was once again trapped by this Cloud Manipulation Skill.
Having previous experience against this Cloud Manipulation Skill, Liou Yuan didn’t panic. Holding the Canglan Sword, he stood straight in the gray mist, the corner of his mouth curling into a sneer as he spoke to the surrounding mist, "This trick again, it’s already overused!"
Though saying this, Liou Yuan remained extremely vigilant.
Liou Tao’s Cloud Manipulation was obviously larger in scale and more powerful than before in Little Cyan Valley.
The rolling dense mist, like waves, surged and covered the sky and blocked the sun within the canyon.
Suddenly, within the silent gray mist realm, a crisp sound of metal clashing echoed.
Clang clang~~
Liou Yuan’s eyes narrowed, seeing countless chains within the encompassing gray mist.
Their forms condensed from mist, swaying slowly from the depths of the mist, approaching him gradually from afar.
This caused the gray mist domain to form a cage of chains.
Liou Yuan saw at a glance that Liou Tao’s current Cloud Manipulation Skill was exceptional.
The tightly enclosing chains around him were far more formidable than the few blades formed back in Little Cyan Valley.
Even before reaching Liou Yuan, they already gave him a sense of oppression.
"This kid’s Cloud Manipulation is feared to have reached Small Success, a C-level Skill at the Small Success stage!"
Liou Yuan tightened his grip on the Canglan Sword, his expression solemn, and he suppressed his derision.
It seemed that over the past two years, it wasn’t only he who had rapidly improved.
After being severely wounded by him last time, Liou Tao overcame his shame with courage, and his power also advanced by leaps and bounds.
"But my growth is greater than yours." Liou Yuan murmured softly, the Green Tide’s sword light on the Canglan Sword in his hand bursting forth.
Nine Shock Tide Swords directly slashed towards the mist chains that had approached within a thirty-foot radius.
With the Canglan Sword’s enhancement, the power of the Nine Shock Tide Swords increased by at least thirty percent.
Sword Qi crisscrossed in the center of the mist, chopping against the layers of mist chains.
Clang clang! The dense sound of collisions, like raindrops, suddenly echoed.
Yet, the offensive from Liou Yuan’s Shock Tide Sword, upon colliding with the mist chains, didn’t cause them any substantial damage.
After the Sword Qi burst forth, it merely slowed the speed at which the mist chains closed towards the center.
After a brief moment of stiffness, the chains continued to close in on Liou Yuan.
The chains sealed all directions, leaving no gaps. The area where Liou Yuan could stand was now less than ten feet in radius.
At this moment, Liou Yuan was on the last stroke of the Nine Shock Tide Swords, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. The Canglan Sword in his hand exploded with dazzling azure light, rendering countless mist chains around him into a blue hue.
