Chapter 65

Lin Xiaoxiao's 'Electric String Arrow Technique' is a mid-grade source-level combat technique.

The power of the Electric String Arrow Technique is fierce and violent, and when used in conjunction with the Thunder Bow and Lightning Arrow, it becomes even more complementary.

Therefore, the Lightning Arrow has become Lin Xiaoxiao's most famous killing move!

Lin Xiaoxiao is very intelligent.

She has a close-combat berserker-type companion beast, the Golden Thunder Ape, which can entangle enemies for her.

With the Three-Color Thunderbird restraining the enemy, she can safely position herself in battle and learn to use long-range weapons like the bow and arrow to deliver the most lethal blows to the enemy!

If she didn't particularly detest a scoundrel like Li Tianming, she wouldn't have aimed the arrow directly at Li Tianming's chest.

At the moment the lightning flashed, the killing intent descended!

The speed of the Lightning Arrow caused a commotion throughout the venue, with everyone marveling at Lin Xiaoxiao's strength.

Now it seems that Lin Xiaoxiao is indeed much stronger than Li Shufan and Chen Yao. Even a Fourth Stage Spirit Source Realm cultivator would not be her match.

Under such pressure, if Li Tianming were to be defeated instantly, no one would be surprised.

In that split second—

A sharp sound pierced the sky, and people focused to see Li Tianming flying backward as if he had been hit by an arrow, only stopping after retreating ten meters.

"Is he dead?"

If his strength was insufficient, he would likely have been killed by a direct hit to the heart.

"No!" People soon saw an incredible scene.

That lightning-imbued Lightning Arrow was actually caught by Li Tianming with his left hand!

He calmly reached out and caught the Lightning Arrow in the moment of danger.

Although he was thrown back by the violent force, the Lightning Arrow never touched his body.

"How is this possible!" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in shock.

She knew the speed and power of the Lightning Arrow, and Li Tianming was the least likely to catch it with his bare hands.

Because, besides the sharp arrowhead, the arrow shaft also had sharp spines.

An ordinary person trying to catch the Lightning Arrow would have their palm torn open, and even their hand might be ripped apart.

She didn't know that Li Tianming's left arm, the Dark Arm, was virtually impervious to blades and bullets!

The sharp spines of the Lightning Arrow couldn't even tear through the hexagonal black scales on his left arm.

"Caught the Lightning Arrow with his bare hands?" Many strong warriors probably shared Lin Xiaoxiao's shock.

"Return!"

Lin Xiaoxiao used the Thunder Bow to pull the Lightning Arrow back, with the positive and negative lightning attracting each other, creating a tremendous force that was about to make her lose her grip.

What Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect was that Li Tianming held on very tightly and didn't use the ground for support.

So, when she recalled the Lightning Arrow, it dragged Li Tianming along with it.

Roar!

The attacks from the Golden Thunder Ape and the Three-Color Thunderbird were instead thwarted by Lin Xiaoxiao's Lightning Arrow hitting Li Tianming.

They hesitated for a moment and then continued to chase Li Tianming.

"You go deal with that bird first," Li Tianming said.

"Do you think you can take on two at once?" the little yellow chicken sneered.

"Then let me show you."

Li Tianming threw the little yellow chicken to restrain the Three-Color Thunderbird, as such a constantly ambushing companion beast was indeed very difficult to handle.

His gaze locked onto Lin Xiaoxiao.

To be honest, the Golden Thunder Ape's speed was also very fast, with golden lightning constantly changing.

But Li Tianming now used the Fire Shadow Step, creating numerous fire shadows that were enough to confuse the Golden Thunder Ape.

"Give me back my Lightning Arrow!" Lin Xiaoxiao was quite angry, her face turning red.

"Here you go."

Li Tianming held the Lightning Arrow with both hands, mainly using the strength of his left arm, and suddenly exerted great force.

The arrow shaft of the Lightning Arrow was very thin, and he wanted to try, as even a Fourth Stage Beast Weapon was not indestructible.

Crack!

The Lightning Arrow broke with a snap.

What kind of strength was needed to break a Fourth Stage Beast Weapon?

Although the Lightning Arrow was indeed very thin, the fact that he could do this was enough to make people gape in astonishment, and this shock was just the beginning.

Seeing the Lightning Arrow break, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red, and even tears welled up in them.

"This was a birthday gift from my brother." Lin Xiaoxiao's dislike for Li Tianming had escalated to hatred.

This was her favorite weapon, and now Li Tianming had broken it in two and returned it to her.

"Don't cry, I'll get you a new one," Li Tianming said, not expecting such intense combat to make this girl cry.

"You can't replace it," Lin Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears.

She knew that Li Tianming didn't understand how important the Lightning Arrow was to her. After wiping her tears, her eyes became even colder and more fierce.

Those familiar with Lin Xiaoxiao knew that once she entered this combat state, it would be a nightmare for her opponent.

"Li Tianming has touched Xiaoxiao's sore spot, he's finished."

"Xiaoxiao never seriously injures others, but this time, it might be different."

Amidst the heated discussions, the Three-Color Thunderbird and the Golden Thunder Ape both sensed Lin Xiaoxiao's anger.

Apart from the Three-Color Thunderbird being entangled by the little yellow chicken, the Golden Thunder Ape was constantly attacking!

If not for Li Tianming's evasions, its violent strength would have caused even more destruction.

"Li Tianming is still smug. If he thinks Xiaoxiao only knows how to use the bow and arrow, he's too foolish."

"Right, compared to the bow and arrow, Xiaoxiao's close-combat abilities are actually stronger, as her body has also been transformed by the Golden Thunder Ape's bloodline, giving her berserker-like physical strength."

As they spoke, the extremely cold Lin Xiaoxiao took out a new weapon.

This frail girl now held a war halberd.

The war halberd was huge and mighty, with a blue-purple body like a thunder dragon, wrapped in dense lightning, exuding a killing aura.

This was the Thunder Dragon War Halberd!

The Thunder Dragon War Halberd is a standard Beast Weapon of the Thunder Venerable Mansion. Lin Xiaoting once wielded such a Thunder Dragon War Halberd.

He relied on the Thunder Dragon War Halberd to fight in the ranking battles, ultimately defeating all the geniuses and becoming the top disciple!

Now, Lin Xiaoxiao has inherited this Thunder Dragon War Halberd!

There was a stark contrast between this girl and the Thunder Dragon War Halberd, but no one doubted her ability to wield it with full power.

And she had the Golden Thunder Ape by her side.

The battle was intense, with the little yellow chicken and the Three-Color Thunderbird engaged in a fierce aerial battle, unable to support Li Tianming in the short term.

Suddenly, the Golden Thunder Ape and Lin Xiaoxiao both burst into action, one large and one small, one left and one right, charging at Li Tianming with lightning speed.

"Lin Xiaoxiao must have learned a high-grade source-level combat technique called 'Three Heaven-Splitting Halberd Techniques'!"

"Her beast technique 'Three Heaven-Splitting Claws' can be used by both the Golden Thunder Ape and the Three-Color Thunderbird."

"Li Tianming is at the end of his rope."

As people expected, the seemingly delicate Lin Xiaoxiao, wielding the massive Thunder Dragon War Halberd, moved swiftly, slashing down from the sky!

The Thunder Dragon War Halberd seemed to have the power to split the heavens, forming an absolute suppression under the support of her thick beast essence.

The Three Heaven-Splitting Claws of the Golden Thunder Ape by her side were equally terrifying.

Moreover, Li Tianming didn't know that the companion beast had already activated the Spirit Source Skill 'Golden Berserk,' making its fur and muscles as hard as diamond, impervious to damage.

Facing their combined attack, Li Tianming only had the Thunderfire Chain, a Third Stage Beast Weapon, which was far less powerful than the Thunder Dragon War Halberd.

However, facing such a formidable enemy, his mind remained calm.

He had a rebellious fighting spirit, especially today, especially in front of Mu Qingqing. He would not lose today.

If he lost, how could he have a stronger heart to face even stronger opponents in the future?

This time, returning to Yan Capital, becoming the top disciple was just his first goal. Revenge and reclaiming what was rightfully his were his greatest beliefs!

Today, he had already seen Mu Qingqing, and he had regained the qualifications to confront them, even more so than three years ago.

So, would the day of avenging Jin Yu and clearing his name be far off?

Facing Lin Xiaoxiao's suppression, he was already well-prepared for the battle.

Apart from the eternal hellish beast essence from the Hellish Source, Li Tianming had many other trump cards, such as the Dark Arm and the Spirit Maze Eye on the Dark Arm.

He had tried it, and the Spirit Maze Eye was more lethal to companion beasts or fierce beasts, as even companion beasts were inferior to beast masters in mental attributes.

Now, the Golden Thunder Ape was right in front of Li Tianming, and Lin Xiaoxiao was soaring above it, the Thunder Dragon War Halberd slashing down!

To be honest, her movements were very graceful.

But, could grace alone overwhelm the opponent?

As the Golden Thunder Ape's claw tore through, Li Tianming's left palm opened, and a strange blood-red eye directly met the Golden Thunder Ape's eyes.

When the beast essence activated the Spirit Maze Vein, the more powerful and proficient Spirit Maze Eye created a huge impact in the Golden Thunder Ape's mind!

Roar!

The Golden Thunder Ape was momentarily stunned, its power reduced by half, and even the Three Heaven-Splitting Claws technique was disrupted.

In the next moment, Li Tianming's Thunderfire Chain wrapped around its neck, coiling three times.

Then, Li Tianming exerted all his strength, pulling backward, causing the massive body of the Golden Thunder Ape to fall toward him!

All of this happened in a split second, at an incredible speed.

Even Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect the Golden Thunder Ape to suddenly become stunned, leading to it being hit by Li Tianming's Thunderfire Chain.

In the next moment, Li Tianming directly dragged the massive body of the Golden Thunder Ape between himself and Lin Xiaoxiao!

When Lin Xiaoxiao saw her target change from Li Tianming to the back of the Golden Thunder Ape, it was too late.

The Thunder Dragon War Halberd, being a heavy and inflexible weapon, was difficult to retract once its full power was unleashed!

The force could even cause internal injuries to her organs!

However, Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice.

She was not yet proficient in such a brutal combat style, and when the target suddenly changed, she could only try to avoid it!

In the end, her strike caused the Thunder Dragon War Halberd to directly slash into the back muscles of the Golden Thunder Ape!

Even the Golden Thunder Ape, in its Golden Berserk state, was hit, tearing a huge bloody gash!

For a moment, blood spurted wildly, staining its golden fur red.

This was the result of Lin Xiaoxiao's controlled strike; otherwise, this attack would have decapitated the Golden Thunder Ape.
