Chapter 582: 473
New Dust Realm, South Side.
Compared to the west and north, the forces on both sides positioned on the south side were undoubtedly the most magnificent.
The Twelve Palace Star Envoys: Pisces Barye, Sagittarius Ather, Libra Lawrence, and Aries Ashley!
The Sky Patrol Star Lords: Tianshu Star Xu Fan, Tianxuan Star Xia Xuan, and Kaiyang Star Li Ba!
Numerous Holy Temple Knights and Sky Patrol Star Envoys, numbering in the hundreds, were already entangled in battle.
And the Star Lords and Star Envoys of both sides had also each found their opponents.
“Flying Bird Collection·Thousand Needle Bee Queen!”
Xia Xuan bent her bow and drew the string. An arrow shot out, exploding into hundreds of Red Fire Needles aiming at the extremely fast Ather before reaching him.
Ather let out a cold chuckle. A large expanse of golden light flowed along the bowstring. As he released it, countless golden rays as thick as fingers burst out in a fan shape, shattering all the Red Fire Needles!
“An exquisite archery technique. But… it’s useless against me!”
Ather sneered, raised his hand, and drew the string again. Another extremely swift but immensely powerful Light Arrow flashed and surged toward Xia Xuan.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, flames intertwined with Green Fire rose up, easily blocking this Light Arrow outside.
“Divine Fire… truly enviable.”
Ather looked at the slowly rotating Green and Red Lotus Platform underneath Xia Xuan and couldn’t help but show a hint of greed and jealousy in his eyes.
Even his own attacks could be effortlessly blocked by this platform!
Such defensive capability was simply too tempting for an archer.
Ather’s eyes grew colder. “But soon, this platform might not be able to protect you anymore.”
Before his words had even finished, a dim Golden Sparrow Mark had already formed at the spot where he had just struck the platform.
Besides this mark, there were now scattered over ten Golden Sparrow Marks on the entire platform!
If Xia Xuan hadn’t been controlling the platform to keep moving and rotating, there would have already been overlapping marks by now.
For Ather wielding the Sun Never Sets Holy Bow, as long as he could manage “Two Golden Sparrow Hits,” he could directly deliver three hits with tenfold damage, exploding Xia Xuan’s Divine Fire Skill and potentially severely injuring or even killing her!
…
On the other side, Li Ba was also engaged in a fight with Libra Lawrence.
Li Ba had already activated the Azure Dragon Phase of the Four Symbols Divine Skill, with a virtual image of an Azure Dragon appearing on him, displaying amazing strength.
However, Lawrence’s expression remained indifferent, and he didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage in his clash with Li Ba.
“Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain!”
“Blast Flame Fist!”
The two clashed their fists. White gas and firelight exploded, and after a brief stalemate, they each retreated a few meters.
“This person is so strange. Clearly, when I activated the Azure Dragon Phase, my strength surpassed his. But how is it that, not long after, he’s matched my power again!”
Li Ba was surprised as he scrutinized the calm figure of Libra in front of him.
This person was indeed formidable. Their physical fitness wasn’t inferior to his, and they effortlessly executed various martial skills, suggesting they were a highly skilled fighter.
However, after activating the Azure Dragon Phase, his strength significantly surpassed his opponent.
Yet, within just a short time, his opponent had become evenly matched with him again!
Moreover, he hadn’t seen his opponent use any Enhancement Skills; it was as if they had unknowingly become equally strong.
This vaguely reminded Li Ba of when he fought against Aquarius.
“Could he also possess the power of illusion? No… Aquarius uses illusion replication, but this Libra, not even the Azure Dragon Phase’s virtual shadow is present, yet he’s inexplicably equal in strength to me!”
Li Ba suddenly realized something. He landed back on the ground with a stomp.
“Boom!”
Dust rose from the ground as his foot shattered it.
However, Li Ba observed the degree of the ground’s fragmentation and was taken aback, making a startling discovery.
“Not only did he get stronger… but I also got weaker!”
As a martial artist, Li Ba had precise control over his strength.
But if not for this stomp, Li Ba wouldn’t have even noticed that his strength had unknowingly decreased!
This left Li Ba perplexed as he closely examined Lawrence.
“If something is different…”
Li Ba’s gaze fell into the beautiful eyes of Lawrence.
They resembled two transparent glass beads filled with golden sand-like particles, looking as if he was wearing contact lenses, incredibly stunning.
Li Ba remembered that at the beginning of their fight, there was significantly more golden sand in the left pupil, but unknowingly, the amount in the left and right pupils had become completely balanced!
At first, Li Ba hadn’t paid much attention.
But at this moment, Li Ba faintly felt a strange power from Lawrence’s left eye directed at him.
And now, the equal amount of golden sand in both pupils was like a balanced scale, reaching equilibrium under some power redistribution…
“Could it be…”
Despite his seemingly rough and straightforward nature, Li Ba was meticulous in battle and now started to have a preliminary guess.
Staring intently at Lawrence, a thought flashed through Li Ba’s mind, and the virtual image of the Azure Dragon Phase on his body suddenly transformed into the White Tiger Phase.
With a significant increase in speed, Li Ba’s figure flickered out of sight, instantly appearing in front of Lawrence and delivering a punch!
“Thud!”
With the formidable speed of the White Tiger Phase, Li Ba’s punch sent Lawrence flying.
