316: [Sheling Lei] shows his power!

"What's wrong?" Looking at the person stumbling towards them, Zhao Gongming immediately signaled Black Tiger to support the person with his paw.

After Black Tiger helped the person stand steady with his paw, Jiang Yuan stepped forward and asked him.

"Ahead, there are a few Element Spirit Race fellows. We couldn't defeat them."

The newcomer's face showed a sorrowful expression as he pointed in a direction and said to Jiang Yuan and the others.

"My teammates are all there right now. They told me to find reinforcements."

"Can you please help me? We are all humans."

"Okay, that direction, right?"

"Yes, exactly there!"

The newcomer seemed very excited, nodding at Jiang Yuan and the others, and quickly said.

"Alright, then we'll go now."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he waved to Nezha and Zhao Gongming, then headed in the direction the newcomer had just pointed.

"It's all up to you!"

The newcomer excitedly shouted at Jiang Yuan and their retreating figures, but Jiang Yuan and the others seemed not to hear, continuing to walk in that direction.

"There's a bit of a problem."

After they were far away from the person, Laojun, driving his flying sword, came forward and whispered to Jiang Yuan.

"Hmm, his teammates are still ahead, but he didn't come with us."

A hint of surprise flashed in Laojun's eyes, followed by a look of relief: "Anything else?"

"Too far."

Jiang Yuan gestured to the current distance between them.

The Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast was still very fast.

But they had run so far without seeing any humans or Element Spirit Race members fighting.

How did that fellow run so far?

Moreover, with that weak appearance, how could there be no enemies chasing him?

From this, it was clear that there was definitely something wrong with that fellow.

It's just unknown what the specific situation was.

"Since you've already figured it out, why are you still going?" Laojun nodded, then asked again.

"Of course, it's because of confidence."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "With you guys by my side, even if there are ten Element Spirit Race members opposite us, I believe you can kill them all."

"That's for sure!"

Nezha, atop Jiang Yuan's head, heard this and nodded proudly: "What Element Spirit Race? They're useless in front of Little Lord!"

"Indeed, we are confident in protecting your safety," Zhao Gongming said with a refined smile.

Laojun looked at the people in front of him, also smiling as he stroked his beard.

And while Jiang Yuan was speaking, what they didn't notice was that ever since they left their sight, the person who had just asked for their help had transformed back into an Element Spirit Race member.

A fellow from the Earth Element Spirit Race.

"Such easily deceived humans. Is this what it means to unite against outsiders?"

"Hahaha, how convenient for us."

The Earth Element Spirit Race fellow said, and then his entire being merged into the ground, chasing after Jiang Yuan and the others, leaving only his last words behind.

"Too bad they're just a few Great Beam (Mid Stage) level small fries."

"They should be coming soon, right?"

"Yes, I see figures."

Just as Jiang Yuan and the others were about to reach the path between the two large mountains, the hidden Element Spirit Race members also spotted Jiang Yuan and his group.

"Wait a moment, let them go a little further inside."

"You few from the Earth Element Spirit Race go to the back. Appear when necessary to block their retreat."

"The Water Element Spirit Race and Ice Element Spirit Race go to the very front and block the path ahead as well."

"The Wood Element Spirit Race prepare for control, and the Fire, Wind, and Thunder Elemental Spirit Race prepare for strong attacks!"

The leader quickly gave orders, but no sooner had he finished than they saw the strength of Jiang Yuan and his group.

"Heh, I thought they were some big fish. Turns out they're just a few Great Beam (Mid Stage) level guys."

"Do we really need to make such a big fuss to deal with them?"

"Of course not."

The leader, Jatovodun, also saw Jiang Yuan and the others at this moment. After a disdainful smile appeared on his face, he spoke again.

"Execute the second plan. All personnel prepare for a strong assault, direct kill!"

"Good!"

Everyone responded, now just waiting for Jiang Yuan and his group to enter this mountain path.

However, Jiang Yuan and his group stopped at the entrance.

"This place is the perfect spot for an ambush."

Jiang Yuan looked up, observing the dense forests and trees on the mountainsides along the path, and a smile also appeared on his face.

"So, should we go in?"

"Of course."

Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile: "If we don't go in, we don't know how long it would take to find them ourselves."

"It just so happens that someone is delivering themselves to our doorstep."

"Moreover, even if we don't go look for them, this path is still a necessary route to Lei Bao Canyon regardless."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast moved forward.

It also had confidence that if any danger arose, it could quickly take Jiang Yuan and leave the area.

"Why aren't they moving?"

"Could it be that they discovered our ambush?"

"How could that be? We're so well hidden. Several waves of people passed by without noticing us. How could a few Great Beam (Mid Stage) level fellows discover us?"

"They're moving, they're moving. Get ready."

As an excited voice from a Wind Element Spirit Race fellow rang out, the other Element Spirit Race members also prepared for attack.

"Once they reach the designated area, release the attacks directly."

"You've all done this many times, I don't need to say more, do I?"

"No need!"

Everyone replied softly, their gazes fixed on Jiang Yuan and the others.

"I wonder how much loot we'll get from killing these humans this time."

All the Element Spirit Race members thought this in their hearts.

The loot from the previous wave made them even more excited now.

Jiang Yuan and his group continued to advance at the same speed, and soon they entered the attack zone designated by the Element Spirit Race.

"Kill!"

With a roar, a large number of attacks directly rained down on Jiang Yuan and his group.

Wind Blades, fireballs, ice shards, high-pressure water jets, metal throwing knives, falling lightning, wildly growing vines underfoot, suddenly rising earth walls, and so on.

However, the moment the attacks appeared, before the earth walls could fully rise, the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast carried Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji and rushed out.

Nezha soared into the air, his Fire Tipped Spear deflecting fireballs and Wind Blades. Three Heads, Eight Arms, Lotus Avatar, and Power Release were all activated simultaneously, entering his full power state.

Zhao Gongming, who couldn't fly, directly released a skill in response to this scene.

Calamity Aversion!

Then, a card appeared in Zhao Gongming's hand.

As Star Power was injected, the card shone with purple light, and Zhao Gongming immediately turned into nothingness, as if he didn't exist in this space.

On the other side, Laojun was equally calm. With a flick of his whisk, a Taiji Diagram formed beneath his feet.

Being already a bit further back, he didn't receive much attention from the attacks.

But the remaining attacks, when they hit the Taiji Diagram above Laojun's head, were deflected by the rotating power of the Taiji.

The attacks simply could not cause any damage to Laojun.

Laojun stood in the air, his feet on the Seven Stars Sword, holding his whisk, and with the Taiji Diagram above his head, coldly looking down at the more than twenty Element Spirit Race fellows who had already rushed out.

"They dodged the first wave of attacks. Start the kill!"

Although Jiang Yuan and his group had each used their own methods to dodge the first wave of attacks from the Element Spirit Race, their Great Beam (Mid Stage) strength was still considered insignificant in the eyes of these Element Spirit Race members.

They had no worries, only thinking that Jiang Yuan and his group were lucky to have dodged their attacks.

After all, there were many of them, and their attacks were dispersed.

It was entirely possible to barely withstand them without being able to effectively strike a single point.

The Earth Element Spirit Race and Thunder Elemental Spirit Race, who were skilled in close combat, charged down.

There were also some close-combat type Fire and Wind Element Spirit Race fellows.

But Nezha was no pushover either.

According to the previously discussed tactics, Nezha directly plunged towards the remaining ranged attacking Element Spirit Race members on the mountain.

"Boom!"

Nezha landed directly in the crowd, sweeping his dual Fire Tipped Spears, instantly creating a five-meter vacuum around him.

Zhentian Arrow hadn't cooled down yet, but this didn't affect Nezha's combat power.

The Huntian Ribbon and Qiankun Circle moved with his will!

The Qiankun Circle smashed towards a green-bodied Wind Element Spirit Race member as soon as Nezha landed.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, even though the Element Spirit Race body could immune some physical attack damage, this had already exceeded his defense range.

His purple-quality defensive equipment shattered along with him, leaving only a green crystal on the ground.

The Huntian Ribbon wrapped around the nearest Element Spirit Race member in front of Nezha.

Just as he was bound, that Thunder Elemental Spirit Race fellow saw a long spear pierce through his chest.

"A mere Great Beam (Mid Stage)!"

Nezha's lips curled in disdain. With a flick of his Fire Tipped Spear, the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race body dissipated, leaving behind a purple crystal.

At the same time, the swinging Fire Tipped Spear also blocked an ice cone attack from an Ice Element Spirit Race member.

The ice cone shattered in mid-air, and falling ice shards were completely burned away by a golden-yellow flame.

Including that Ice Element Spirit Race fellow.

"Next time, I should be the one to block those close-combat guys."

Nezha glanced at Zhao Gongming's opponent, then grumbled unhappily.

The remaining ranged attackers were basically all Great Beam (Mid Stage) level.

They were no match for Nezha in his full power state.

In the sky, the Qiankun Circle was still releasing light blades. After the Huntian Ribbon blocked a few attacks, Nezha attacked again.

The Fire Tipped Spear danced, and the Yin Yang Twin Swords swung. In just a moment, the last two Late Stage Element Spirit Race members remaining on the mountain were also eliminated.

"Little Lord is coming!"

After eliminating the few ranged attacking Element Spirit Race members remaining on the mountain, Nezha rode his Wind Fire Wheels and excitedly rushed towards Zhao Gongming's side.

Laojun, hearing Nezha's voice, also put away his whisk.

The Taiqing Divine Thunder disappeared, and the Yin and Yang energies returned to Laojun's side, slowly rotating around him.

Nezha came up with a Wind Fire Wheels flying kick, and the Wind Fire Wheels directly smashed into the face of the Ice Element Spirit Race member in front of Laojun, sending him flying.

Laojun looked calmly at the Ice Element Spirit Race member who was kicked away at close range, clearly having great faith in Nezha's strength.

"Laojun, leave it to me!"

After Nezha finished speaking, he took on the attacks of the three Element Spirit Race members in front of Laojun and began fighting them.

On the other side, Zhao Gongming was now wearing lightning armor, wielding a Steel Whip in one hand and a lightning halberd in the other.

One long and one short, with wide, sweeping movements, even with five or six Element Spirit Race members in front of him, they still couldn't get close.

"Zhao Gongming, hurry up, we're already done here!"

Shi Ji and Jiang Yuan, working together, eliminated the two Earth Element Spirit Race fellows who came at them, then also shouted at Zhao Gongming.

Right now, Zhao Gongming's efficiency was the lowest.

Excluding the one Laojun eliminated, Zhao Gongming had eliminated the fewest enemies.

After all, Nezha had already eliminated seven, while Zhao Gongming had only eliminated two.

At this moment, Nezha had three enemies in front of him, while Zhao Gongming still had five.

But even so, Zhao Gongming had no intention of ending the fight quickly.

After all, among the five Element Spirit Race members in front of him, three were Thunder Elemental Spirit Race.

The two he had just eliminated, plus the three currently, were all non-Thunder Elemental Spirit Race fellows.

He still wanted to keep these Thunder Elemental Spirit Race fellows to replicate more skills.

Zhao Gongming swung the Steel Whip in his hand, eliminating another fire-attribute Element Spirit Race member, and then a black lightning bolt erupted from Zhao Gongming's body.

"That's my skill!"

Jatovodun was greatly alarmed. The skill this human was using, wasn't it the very skill he had just used, his strongest offensive skill?

Thunder Punishment Seal!

How could this human also know it?

He stole it from me!

Jatovodun was furious and shocked, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

The target of this skill was his companion, another Fire Element Spirit Race fellow.

Although not as strong as himself, he was considered the second strongest in their team.

Most importantly, they had sparred before.

When he used Thunder Punishment Seal and hit directly, it only broke the defensive equipment on the opponent's body, and did not successfully kill the opponent.

Since the opponent was replicating his skill, the power should be similar, right?

Jatovodun had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the lightning directly pierce through the body of the nearby Fire Element Spirit Race member.

"How is that possible!"

Jatovodun roared in shock and anger, but what greeted him was a rapidly swinging Steel Whip.

He had already entered the attack range of Zhao Gongming's Steel Whip.

Zhao Gongming didn't care who you were; to him, all Element Spirit Race fellows were the same.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, red and purple crystals fell to the ground simultaneously.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile at this scene.

The skills Zhao Gongming replicated were more powerful than when used by the original person.

This was normal.

After all, even for the Element Spirit Race, the lightning used at this stage was just ordinary lightning.

But what about Zhao Gongming?

Divine Thunder of the Imperial Edict!
