The red-haired Su Ming smiled coldly as he looked at the old man. His presence continued growing stronger, and he turned a blind eye to the numerous runic symbols that appeared around him and the gigantic golden runic symbol that was charging towards him from the sky. He was completely unbothered by them.
"Hidden Dragon's Sixth Dao, Fire in Sleeves!" Ever since the old man heard the word Destiny, his expression had turned incredibly grave, and there was even a hint of nervousness on his face. At that moment, as he spread his arms out, his hair moved without wind, his robes fluttered, and most of his power was revealed within the invisible barrier formed by the long-haired woman's Sky of Berserkers Art with a drop of blood in the bottle. The moment he attacked, he executed Hidden Dragon Sect's greatest divine ability.
The instant the words' Fire in Sleeves' fell out of his mouth, the old man lifted his arm, and his face instantly turned red. He pursed his lips, and as if he had gathered a mouthful of True Qi, he swung his arm at Su Ming.
With this swing, thunderous rumbles echoed in the space before the old man. The space there seemed to be on fire, and a sea of fire appeared. This sea of fire continued to spread, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire area.
At that moment, the mouthful of True Qi contained in the old man's tightly shut lips finally opened his mouth and exhaled. With it, a violent gust of wind howled, and as it swept through the area, it gathered together the sea of fire that had covered the entire area, and as it scattered in all directions, it charged straight towards Su Ming!
From the distance, it looked as if the sky was burning, and a sea of fire that wanted to devour Su Ming was stirred up. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the sea of fire enveloped Su Ming. It was also at that moment that the golden runic symbol in the sky and the runic symbols around Su Ming charged towards him together with the sea of fire to kill him.
Booming sounds shook the sky and earth. The red-haired Su Ming stood there with a cold sneer on his lips. He did not move at all, simply allowing the runic symbols around him to imprint themselves on his body, allowing the gigantic golden runic symbol in the sky to seal his head with a bang, and allowing the sea of fire from all directions to submerge him in flames with his body as the center.
The divine ability struck Su Ming, but not only did the old man not show any joy, he instead widened his eyes as if his eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets. He sucked in a sharp breath, and disbelief appeared on his face.
During the span of a few breaths, the sea of fire that had enveloped Su Ming shrank swiftly from its vast and ostentatious presence. Eventually, it completely disappeared, and Su Ming continued standing there. He only opened his mouth and sucked in a breath.
The sea of fire that filled his body was completely sucked into his mouth, as if his body was a bottomless pit. At the same time the sea of fire disappeared, the golden runic symbols on Su Ming's body became dull, and eventually, they disappeared from his skin as if they were melting. The gigantic golden Seal Mark on his head was also rapidly fading away, eventually turning into a wisp of golden aura that seeped into the top of Su Ming's skull and disappeared.
"Too weak. I'll give you two more chances to attack." Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. A hint of derision flashed briefly in his eyes as he laughed coldly.
The old man's expression kept changing. He stared at Su Ming and groaned in his heart. He might have heard a thing or two about Destiny's rumors, but he did not expect him to be so terrifying. He believed that his Hiding Fire in Sleeves Art was enough to fight against a Berserker in the Berserker Soul Realm, but this Destiny before him could not even injure him in the slightest.
'Damn it, how could he be Destiny, or else I wouldn't have to risk my life to keep him here. Now that the celestial phenomenon has appeared, the other people in the sect should be here soon …' The old man's eyes sparkled and the thought of retreating rose in his heart. Yet at that moment, Su Ming's smile turned even colder.
"If you don't attack within three breaths, then you'll have to suffer my divine ability." As Su Ming spoke, he lifted his right hand and curled his fingers into a fist before unfurling them. Once he straightened his palm, he pushed forward through the air.
That one push immediately caused the ground underneath to tremble. Cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and at the same time, a vast amount of Earthen Aura rose from the ground with a bang from all directions. That Earthen Aura was like a wave of air that sealed up a circular area of five thousand lis like a cage.
From the distance, no one could be seen in that place. All they could see was a murky wall of Earthen Aura that was connected to the sky from all directions.
This sort of divine ability, this sort of Art that could stir up Earthen Aura made the old man's pupils shrink. He instinctively took a few steps back with shock in his eyes. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and as he groaned in his heart, he also started hating the long-haired woman whose face was also pale. If that woman had not insisted on revealing Su Ming's identity, he would not have needed to attack.
At that moment, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. When Su Ming opened his mouth to speak, the old man suddenly remembered what Su Ming had said about the span of three breaths. He did not have time to think too much about it. The old man's long hair danced madly in the air and veins popped up on his face. He lifted his right hand and started forming seals before him. He was so quick that in the blink of an eye, he turned into an endless amount of afterimages that flashed before him, as if they were connected together.
The veins on the old man's face started twisting and moving as he formed those seals, turning into a King's Mark that looked like a tiger's stripe on the old man's face!
An incredibly powerful presence erupted forth from his body. That presence was so strong that it caused the wind and clouds in the sky above the land of the Shamans beyond the invisible screen of light the long-haired woman had created with her Art. Muffled whistles seemed to travel out from the murky sky.
Soon after, a bolt of lightning flashed through the murky and dark sky, and a gigantic crack appeared. As it did so, an indescribable pressure spread out from the crack and descended on the land of the Shamans.
The moment the crack appeared, Su Ming lifted his head swiftly and stared at it. A rarely seen serious look appeared on his face. As for the old man, he was terrified. Once he cast a glance at the crack above him, he gritted his teeth and continued forming the seals in his hands, just as he was about to cast his divine ability.
As for the long-haired woman, there was a layer of blood-red light surrounding her body. That blood-red light seeped out of her body. It might not seem bright, but it had an incredibly powerful defensive effect. As the person chosen to help the people of the sect conceal the Berserkers' Sky, her safety was usually the most important factor in a battle of Arts.
Yet at that moment, her face was pale, and a trickle of blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. Clearly, she could not maintain the Art to conceal the Berserkers' Sky for much longer.
More importantly, there was something off about her expression at that moment. She was not looking at the old man, but was still looking at Su Ming. The complicated look in her eyes would occasionally turn into a daze, causing her to not know whether she had done the right thing in revealing his identity.
She would never forget how she, when she was just an outer disciple of Hidden Dragon Sect, had entered a group that was given a mysterious mission due to a selection. There were nearly a hundred women in that group, including her. At that time, she was very timid and was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. She was also very weak, and she did not want to practice Immortal Cultivation. She only wanted to return home and accompany her parents.
Becoming an outer disciple of Hidden Dragon Sect was not her original intention either. It was because she was the only one in her family who possessed the constitution to practice Immortal Cultivation. To ensure that the fate of cultivation in her family would continue to be passed down, she had no choice but to join Hidden Dragon Sect.
Once she joined that group, she and her sisters from the same sect were sent to a strange place. Over there, only seven out of a hundred something people remained. The others were not chosen, and she was one of the seven.
She lived in that strange place for a total of three hundred sixty cycles …
The long-haired woman bit her lip. There was a dazed look in her eyes as she stared at Su Ming blankly, as if she had forgotten everything.
At that moment, as the crack in the sky appeared and as that terrifying pressure descended, the old man continued forming seals with his right hand, then lifted it abruptly and pointed at Su Ming.
"Hidden Dragon's Third Dao, Crouching Tiger!"
With it, the King's Mark on his face distorted, and an illusory image appeared on his face to turn into a tiger's head. When the tiger's head charged out with a roar, a body, four limbs, and a complete body appeared. It turned into a semi-transparent tiger, and when it rushed out, its body grew in the face of the wind until it was several hundreds of feet big. It roared at Su Ming.
"Hidden Dragon Third Dao, Hidden Dragon!"
Clouds and fog appeared in a circular area of five thousand lis, as if the area had turned into a sea of clouds. As the sea of clouds tumbled about, a body that looked like a python would occasionally appear. It was as if there was a gigantic python swimming about in the fog.
Almost the instant the tiger pounced on Su Ming, a gigantic head appeared from the clouds and fog behind him. A foul stench swept through the area, and two long whiskers swayed in the air. That was not a python, but a ferocious dragon head.
Only the dragon's head was revealed. Most of its body was hidden in the clouds and fog. Once it appeared, it let out a dragon roar and charged towards Su Ming.
Before him was the semi-transparent tiger, and behind him was the raging dragon hidden in the clouds and fog. Su Ming stood in the middle, and a strange light appeared in his eyes. He did not dodge, but instead turned his body sideways and lifted his left hand to seize the tiger pouncing on him. He pressed two fingers together on his right hand and pointed towards the raging dragon behind him.
"Red Sieve Phenomenon, Rotation of the Universe!" Su Ming said languidly. The instant he spoke, his voice was drowned out by the tiger's roar and the dragon's roar. He turned his left hand into a claw and pressed it against the incoming tiger's head. The instant he did so, a ghastly smile appeared on Su Ming's lips. No one knew what sort of method he used, but with a swing of his left arm, a wave of power seemed to be sucked out from the tiger's body. It was absorbed into his body through his left arm before it was sent to his right arm. Immediately, the two fingers on Su Ming's right hand, along with his entire arm, turned into a tiger that was exactly the same as the tiger before him!
From the distance, the tiger before Su Ming did not change. Once his right hand turned into the tiger, it crashed into the raging dragon charging towards him from behind. Yet at that moment, the same thing happened. Su Ming's left hand, which was pressed against the tiger's head, twisted and turned into a raging dragon!
This scene made it seem as if a raging dragon had charged out of Su Ming's body to fight against a tiger. The dragon and the tiger fought, and the tiger and dragon killed each other in midair as they clashed against the dragon and tiger formed by the old man's divine ability.
