Chapter 2704 - Crisis Strikes
The red-dressed woman was swiftly going through an unknown number of simulacrum forms to attack Tianming. She had never expected that he would incorporate his totems into his sword.
Her eighty-one snakeheads condensed and formed a blood-red tornado with herself at the core. With that display of strength, Tianming estimated her to be a twelfth-astral orderan, just a step from the Cosmic Cartography stage. She was indeed not on Lin Lingxiao's level, but he didn’t have his Omnisentient Threads right now. He didn't dare to be negligent and summoned all his lifebound beasts and Ying Huo also made a quiet return.
"The other side's totems should be tertiary simulacra!" The fusion and rotation caused the snake heads to rapidly congeal, and within that tornado, countless crimson little snakes appeared and pink poison gas wafted out.
A billion Yin Chens transformed into a sea of steel and rushed forward. The sea of steel was mainly composed of galactic swordbugs, along with other insects. It directly entered and crushed the totems' sea of snakes. Many Yin Chens were annihilated, but it didn't matter, as Tianming currently had no shortage of iron ore.
Xiaodao was still on Gladeus, so they could easily transport more iron ore.
Yin Chen was unafraid of death and poison and absorbed damage for Tianming and his beasts. When it had almost broken up the sea of snakes, Lan Huang and Xian Xian rushed in, along with Ying Huo and Meow Meow’s divine abilities.
Tianming employed all of his skills. He divided the Grand-Orient Sword, which had his totems within, into two.
To be honest, with such power, the woman in the red dress immediately regretted her decision. She had thought that he was a newbie, but didn't expect it to be a ruse. However, she didn't intend to give up, for the more talented the youth, the more treasures they carried.
The Xiaozhi Sword Art’s Duostrike Sandglass struck out and shattered the remnants of the sea of snakes, dispersing the totems. It was a terrifying space-locking technique that also broke the woman’s snake-shaped sword. The image of an hourglass appeared and countless streaks of sword lights poured out and to the right, causing the woman's face to distort on the spot.
And that was just part of it. Even more terrifying was the Grandvoid Compendium’s Flowerfall Flow. Within a short moment, the sword art replayed countless times. The sword seemed to flow like falling petals, growing more potent with each repetition.
Tianming's individual destructive power was stronger after merging totems into his sword. As both sword arts were executed at the same time, the effect of the spacetime sword art may have appeared small, but its destructive power was quite formidable.
The woman's totems were immobilized under the combined oppression of Tianming's beasts and the Prime Cosmic Rings. There was nothing left between her and Tianming's twin swords.
"Alright, I know you're formidable. If you don't stop now, you'll have nowhere to be buried," the woman in the red dress sneered.
"You're threatening me on the brink of death?" Tianming chuckled.
"It seems you don't know my identity...." The woman in the red dress slightly raised her head, showing a contemptuous smile. In the midst of her smile, Tianming and Ying Huo united to kill her!
Duostrike Sandglass and Flowerfall Flow! The hourglass fully inverted, entirely distorting space. Flowerfall Flow carried the power of five totems, exploding forth with full power!
Ying Huo's wings acted as swords as it stabbed forward.
"Die!"
Under the joint attack, the woman in the red dress was first stunned, then instantly mentally collapsed. "Wait!" It was only at that moment that she realized she couldn't pretend anymore. Unfortunately, it was too late! Her defenses crumbled before the combo and her heptastar organs were annihilated.
Death!
Even the most beautiful of women would turn to dust after their astrons were destroyed. Beauty had no meaning.
"You told me that this is a dog-eat-dog world, and you still expect me to indulge you?" Tianming sneered. Without saying anything more, his little friends quickly returned after the battle. Everyone knew that the Xenoabyss was no place to linger for long, and making noise often attracted disaster. The sudden attack by the woman in the red dress had also made Tianming realize that it was a battleground where you could kill without consequences.
Except for Ying Huo and Meow Meow, all of Tianming’s beasts obediently went back.
He took the woman's spatial ring and gave it a quick scan, finding quite a bit of treasure inside. Putting away his wonder and totems, he quickly said to Meow Meow, "Escape the battlefield now."
"Meow!" Meow Meow wasn’t happy about it, but it had no choice. With great power came great responsibility.
Ying Huo no longer needed to serve as a mount, so it landed on Tianming's head and triumphantly said, "You ride Meow Meow, and I'll ride you."
Now, Meow Meow had become a mount for Ying Huo!
"Brother Chicken, watch out, I’ll ride on your head."
"It depends on whether your balls can withstand my wing-flapping."
Meow Meow shivered and immediately took off. As it was just setting off, Tianming suddenly sensed danger approaching. He abruptly turned around and saw that two more people had appeared not far behind him. They were outworlders as well, and looked extremely ferocious as they stared at Tianming.
"It's him who killed our little sister!"
"Prepare to die!"
They directly transformed into blurs, covering vast distances in a single step as they started pursuing Tianming. Tianming was taken aback. “Cosmic cartographers!"
The two men—one tall and one thin—weren’t young. They were probably over two thousand years old. As they moved, their cosmic charts faintly shimmered behind them, making them look like starry skies that were perfectly integrated with heaven and earth. It allowed them to move more swiftly in this world, appearing as if they had instantly teleported.
A cosmic cartographer expert was someone Tianming couldn't defeat, let alone two. They had come with the intent to kill!
"Run!"
"Alright!"
Meow Meow understood that it wasn't a joking matter. It started up and accelerated, while Ying Huo hung on to Tianming's hair, jetting out divine abilities behind them!
The Chaos Regalfiend flickered with lightning as infernal flames streamed backward, presenting as various divine abilities. It looked like Meow Meow's tail was on fire.
Mountains and peaks exploded, and rivers were instantly vaporized.
"Did we shake them off?" Ying Huo excitedly asked. Just as the words left its mouth, two beams of starlight pierced through its sea of flames, rapidly approaching Meow Meow.
"Faster!" Tianming broke out in a cold sweat. This time, he had really kicked an iron plate!
