Chapter 239 Combined Attack of Cold and Heat
On the scales, fine cracks spread out, as elegant as crackled porcelain.
The merman was terrified. His proud and powerful physique had not brought him any advantage, and the words of his elders echoed in his mind.
"Don't underestimate the humans on land. They are full of geniuses and have many cultivation methods, making them impossible to defend against. In a decisive battle with them, only seek a quick victory. If you are not victorious, leave immediately and do not linger."
If Zhong Ming knew that the other party categorized him as a genius, he would probably be so happy that he wouldn't be able to sleep for days.
A barrage of attacks rained down on the opponent. The merman struggled to dodge, only to find it impossible to escape. This tactic of using sheer numbers to cover a wide area was extremely underhanded; only rapid, wide-ranging dodges could break through. But the city wall was only so wide, leaving nowhere to hide.
Zhong Ming's lower body was extremely stable. He used the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique to constantly change his body shape and attack forward. The extremely oppressive attack rhythm forced his opponent to retreat repeatedly, and it looked like he was about to enter the support range of other human soldiers.
The merman gritted his teeth, let out a roar, and forced his way out of the attack. He leaped up, landed on the battlements, and charged at Zhong Ming from above.
This is a common tactic used by the Merfolk. In the turbulent sea, they swim at full speed, leaping high out of the water to attack their prey from above.
But have you forgotten why you didn't do that when you jumped onto the city wall?
Chen Dahai reacted quickly, and several arrows whistled out, hitting him in the back.
Although it wasn't an armor-piercing arrow and didn't pierce his back scales, the powerful impact felt like two heavy blows to his back, causing him to lose his balance instantly in mid-air.
Seeing this good opportunity, Zhong Ming immediately decided to use "Great Cold". He lowered his body slightly and switched his spear between his left and right hands. Because of the city wall, swinging it from the right side would be blocked by the wall, so he switched to his left hand.
The switch between left and right hands resulted in some minor flaws. After the intense cold of the spear was gathered, it was aimed at the cracked front scales of the opponent. However, due to the opponent's struggle and the unfamiliarity of switching hands, the spear was slightly off-target by an inch. The spear tip struck the opponent's intact scales. Fortunately, this was a hook-and-sickle spear. The barbed tip hit the cracked part, and a chill immediately spread, as if the frost of ten thousand years of eternal freeze spread along the scales.
His body was like the rugged earth, the frost like a glacier in an extremely cold land, advancing slowly yet steadily with unstoppable force. To him, even the smallest crack was like discovering an unfrozen cave; the chill excitedly rushed in, cooling the blood, freezing the muscles...
The merman felt a sense of foreboding; his body stiffened, and his movements became even slower than a sea turtle's.
'Is this the feeling of the North Sea Cold Region that Uncle was talking about?' A thought flashed through his mind. The next moment, his opponent unleashed his true killing move.
Zhong Ming smiled slightly, then mockingly mimicked his movements, kicking off the city wall and leaping high into the air.
The merfolk were no pushovers either. As soon as someone peeked out from the city wall, their bone spears flew out with a "whoosh" towards him.
In mid-air, a sudden chill descended, the spear tip touched the wall, and the body rose another level, dodging several spears while flames swirled around the spear.
Spring and Autumn Period Hook and Sickle Spear Techniques - Great Heat
This spear technique is difficult for Zhong Ming, who is of the water attribute, but it's enough to deal with the guy below.
The Great Heat, the hottest time of the year, is a busy time for harvesting early rice and planting late rice. The men who face the loess soil and turn their backs to the sky cannot escape it, and neither can you.
Welcome my scorching sun!
The sharp spear tip was scorching hot, dominated by crimson, followed by a brilliant gold, with flames encircling the spear, making it incredibly hot.
The merman below was kneeling on the ground, the cold still spreading in his chest. The intact scales on his back were now becoming an obstacle to the warmth penetrating his body. The scales hissed and emitted a little white smoke before drying out. Between the cold and the heat, the merman's body seemed to be about to collapse on the spot.
"Junior, how dare you!"
This was the first time Zhong Ming had heard a merman speak the Yunzhou dialect. It had a strange accent, as if there was a hole in his mouth, and he spoke with a slight lisp.
A sudden gust of wind rose beside his ears, and Zhong Ming felt a flash before his eyes. In front of the merman below, an even more robust merman appeared, none other than the Foundation Establishment stage enemy from before.
He desperately wanted to grab his junior and leave, but he was too fast. Under the impact of the extreme speed, when he reached out, the force of his arm colliding with the enemy was no less than that of a huge scythe, capable of instantly cutting his junior in half at the waist.
He paused there for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he used a mysterious leg technique to dissipate the momentum, like a playful splash of water swirling on the vast sea.
He grabbed the tip of the gun, the intense light colliding with his palm covered by a thin curtain of water.
The mermaid sneered, "All that glitters is not gold."
His movements were too fast. In fact, Zhong Ming had prepared a backup plan, which was the mother and child swords that were still stuck in the corpse. He waited until the opponent was staggered by his attack, then used the sword control technique to make the long sword suddenly rise and pierce through the enemy. However, the enemy in front of him was too fast and too strong.
He raised his foot, his toes already resembling a dragon's claw, and was about to kick out when suddenly his eyes sharpened. He then kicked a brick to the side, released his hook-and-sickle spear, pushed forward, exerted force with both arms, and leaped up, leading his descendants away from the city wall.
The next moment, a long sword arrived like lightning. Seeing that the enemy had retreated, it spun around in place and began to slaughter the other merfolk around it.
Zhong Ming felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth. The sudden chill of early spring brought an extremely strong force that forced him to retreat. With a thought, he instantly put the object into his storage bag.
He fell to the ground, aimed at the target, rolled several times after landing to dissipate the impact, and landed steadily next to the corpse of the merman he had killed earlier. He drew his twin swords and stood up warily, assuming a fighting stance.
Forehead.....
The surrounding enemies fell in the blink of an eye. Several merfolk didn't even have time to react; their bodies were still swinging their weapons as their heads flew high into the air. The scene was particularly horrifying.
Just as the merfolk believed in, upon discovering that this place was difficult to conquer, they quickly shifted their forces, sending a large force rushing towards the other side of the city.
"Hold the city walls! Repairman, charge!" the Foundation Establishment stage sword cultivator shouted, quickly flying towards the direction the enemy had fled.
Zhong Ming leaned his shoulder against the battlements of the city wall and let out a heavy sigh.
That's really... terrifying.
Only then did he realize that his legs were weak, and he personally experienced the helplessness of a high-level cultivator who was skilled in hand-to-hand combat suddenly appearing in front of him.
Before he could catch his breath, a female cultivator who flew up on a giant gourd arrived beside Zhong Ming. She looked around, pointed at him, and said, "Go and help adjust the position of that person in the wheelchair to cover my repair of the city wall."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ? Never mind, do as instructed.
