Chapter 1239: A Passable Imitation


    "Your rendition of [Light''s Bulwark: Thousand Dragons Soaring] is very strong, but I think it''s stillcking in terms of brute force. Consider this."


    Pitch-ck gic energy gushed out from around Zhang Lie, covering up the white light that Li Feng gave off within moments. The pocket dimension turned dark almost immediately.


    "[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!"


    A horde of dragonsunched out of Zhang Lie''s left arm as he expended half his gic energy in one supercharged attack.


    Howling with the force of thunder, the hundred dragons soared through the air. They were fierce and domineering, and all hundred of them boasted the power of annihtion.


    They tore apart the arclight dragons within moments. Zhang Lie shed downward with his sword, causing everything before him to tremble. Pitch-ck gic energy exploded forth, destroying everything in sight.


    Li Feng hurriedly flew backwards in an attempt to escape from the wave of annihtion, but a tremendous suction tore apart the pocket dimension. Li Feng stuck his sword in the ground to anchor himself.


    His face was pale. Zhang Lie''s strength had been far too overwhelming; there was little that [Light''s Bulwark: Thousand Dragons Soaring] couldpete with against [Fists of the Silent Sea: Thousand Dragons Soaring].


    One invoked light-attuned gic energy; the other, energy of annihtion.


    For [Light''s Bulwark] to surpass [Fists of the Silent Sea], Li Feng would have to find a source of energy of equal strength as Zhang Lie''s energy of annihtion.


    "Don''t get distracted in front of your enemy," Zhang Lie warned, punching forward and sending pitch-ck gic energy extending toward Li Feng like a serpent.


    "[Birth of the Holy Dragon: Starcrest Dragonde]!" Li Feng yelled out. He pulled out a de from which light began to gather. As he struck, dozens of dragons fell from the skies like meteors.


    When the pitch-ck gic energy struck the meteors, it absorbed them and disintegrated the dragons.


    The ster river that resulted from Li Feng''s technique wrapped around Zhang Lie like a ribbon.


    With a wave of his hand, Zhang Lie destroyed the ribbon with the sound of shattering ss.


    Starlight fell.


    "[Birth of the Holy Dragon: Arclight sh]!"


    Li Feng lifted his sword high above his head. A silvery-white dragon emerged from behind him, merged with the sword, and sent a beam of light piercing the skies. Li Feng struck, and the sword sh morphed into a dragon.


    Zhang Lie raised an arm and suppressed the arclight dragon.


    Li Feng waved his sword of light, each arc releasing a new dragon.


    Zhang Lie punched forward with his fists, causing the space to quake. Spatial ripples spurred the tides onward as the dragons disintegrated.


    "[Birth of the Holy Dragon: Milky Way sh]!" Dozens of sword shes emanated from Li Feng, each with a starry splendor reminiscent of the Milky Way. The stars in the night sky shone brightly as a gxy seemed to unfold around Li Feng.


    The starlight was so splendid that it would make any onlookers dizzy.


    Gic energy gathered on Zhang Lie''s fist, like the roaring of the sea. A shark manifested behind him and swam forward.


    Zhang Lie faced the river of ster light with just his pointer finger. Sword energy gushed out of his fingers like a waterfall, shing against Li Feng''s technique in a dazzling explosion of ster mist.


    The resulting explosion was inordinately beautiful, but the waves of gic energy that resulted in the aftermath were no less potent for their beauty. The members of Team Zenith hurriedly erected defenses against the attack.


    "[Birth of the Holy Dragon]!"


    Li Feng cut forward. The overflowing sword energy materialized in the form of a light dragon that seemed like it could part the very sea.


    Zhang Lie blocked the attack once more with his pointer finger, sending sshes of water all throughout the arena.


    "This technique looks like it''s based on one of mine. Is that right?" Zhang Lie asked curiously.


    Li Feng grinned with his teeth. "If even you can''t identify the technique from which this originated, Captain, it must mean that it''s wholly my own now."


    Li Feng''s arclight energy suppressed Zhang Lie''s water-attuned gic energy as the shark behind Zhang Lie rushed forward and knocked Li Feng back.


    "[The Boundless de: Cloudstep]!"


    Li Feng soared into the air, propelling himself upward with every cloud he stepped on. He sent his light-imbued sword arcing through the air.


    Zhang Lie shed his pointed finger through the void, sending water-attuned gic energy hurtling forth as though in a river, bisecting the silver energy.


    Li Feng flew through the air, morphing into beams of light that sprayed out sword energy at Zhang Lie.


    Zhang Lie gathered water-attuned gic energy between his fingers and manifested a river of startling proportions. The river shot forth like a dragon and smashed against Li Feng''s des.


    In the end, Li Feng''s shes were incapable of shing apart the iing streams. Instead, the current swept his arclight dragons away into the air.


    Fighting spirit welled up in Li Feng''s eyes. Ever since the second realm, he had been emting Zhang Lie. Now that he was facing off against the real thing and demonstrating the results of his training, he had to make a good showing.


    "[Birth of the Holy Dragon: Realm of Heaven]!"


    Li Feng raised his sword high into the air. Light-attuned gic energy gathered around it, invoking the stars. Holy hymns echoed around him, and the concentrated energy manifested as outspread wings to his back.


    He seemed to be right by theke of gray sludge, but simultaneously a world apart—in a dimension beyond, where the gray sludge couldn''t attack back.


    Spatial maniption!


    A hundred dragons wrapped around Li Feng''s sword, and his light-attuned gic energy was formingplicated patterns around him. Light swirled around him, as though manifesting in the form of illusions, as he swung his de down.


    Upon seeing this blow from Li Feng, even Zhang Lie had to pay attention.


    "[Manifold Gates of Heaven]!"


    Radiant white light exploded from the point of impact, the holy light of heaven. Li Feng''s sword shed apart the gates, unleashing concentrated light.


    Upon witnessing the scale of the attack, the members of Team Zenith hurriedlyyered their defenses. Hong Xi''s pale blue moonlight shone down on them all. Sun Mengmeng manifested another ck firewall. By then, Fang Yi and Yang Ze had both recovered, and they too were contributing to the defense.


    They had been protected by the others in a state of weakness; it was time for them to give back.


    Refracted light shone around Yang Ze, who isted them in space.


    Fang Yi thrust his spear quickly,bining the energy of chaos with wind and storm. A wind dragon and storm tiger manifested and formed a wall in front of them all.


    Zhang Hanxiang released a chilly frost, adding ayer of ice as a barrieryered over Fang Yi''s defense.


    "[Avatar of the Fae: Earthbound Prison]!" Zhou Ying released all her stored vitality at once, causing the ground to quake as thousands of jade-green wood dragons rushed out of the earth.


    The members of Team Zenith were wrapped up byyer afteryer of dragons.


    Jun Jiuxiao conjured a field of wind and storm, while Ye Xianchen released an aura of ghosts and shadows. Sun Xiaowu rested in their midst, still recovering from his exertion.
