Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 612 Borrowing the Law
As soon as the white-haired old man began his actions, the other two celestial masters who had agreed to the agreement also began their work with a thunderous roar, successively carving out a trench in the sea.

In an instant, trenches nearly twenty miles long on each side appeared one after another, forming a huge triangular frame in the sea that could be clearly seen from the air, a truly magnificent sight.

The three had no interest in this. After the triangular trench was formed, they used magic to push their arms wildly to the left and right, because they could feel the connection between the forces on both sides of the trench. They wanted to widen the trench and sever the vast connection of its forces.

Li Hongjiu immediately sensed something and instantly understood the intentions of these people. He once again stretched out his arms and cast a spell. The invisible force on the vast sea surface in the distance surged and pressed down, pressing down on the trench plowed by the three Celestial Immortals, which was no different from pressing down on the three of them.

The three celestial masters felt the pressure, but they stubbornly cast spells to hold on, determined to sever Li Hongjiu's connection with the power of the vast ocean.

However, they underestimated the power of the force, thinking that as long as they persisted, they could hold on. Little did they know that the invisible force was constantly piling up from the distant sea.

As the pressure continued to build up, the terrifying power of the vast ocean was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The three people who were struggling against the trench had bulging veins on their necks and their eyes seemed to be about to pop out. They even choked on blood one after another.

The white-haired old man, his eyes bloodshot and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, turned his head unwillingly towards Li Hongjiu's location in the distance. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something. He quickly cast a spell and shouted loudly, "Work together, break through the central point from three points!"

The two celestial experts on the other two sides of the triangle, the man in black and the man in gray, also looked in the same direction upon hearing the sound, towards the location of Li Hongjiu.

The three celestial masters, who were under increasing and terrifying pressure, instantly seemed to be of one mind. The arm that was being pushed towards Li Hongjiu suddenly burst out with powerful magic at the same time and attacked together.

Hearing the shouts, Li Hongjiu's expression changed slightly. He had intended to gather his strength to launch a fatal attack on the three, but now he had to give up. He turned around sharply and shouted to Shi Chun, "Not good, run!"

He darted straight up into the air.

Shi Chun reacted quickly, having already sensed something was wrong. He was on guard when he heard the Celestial Immortal shouting for help. Upon seeing Li Hongjiu's call and actions, he immediately and nimbly followed, leaping into the air. The Black Lotus Dharma Image protecting him also immediately took to the air to lend him a hand.

boom!
This was truly an earth-shattering event.

The massive triangular sea area formed by the three trenches suddenly collapsed, exploding into towering waves that were illuminated by the rising sun, which was half-exposed on the horizon. The waves directly caught up with and submerged Shi Chun and Li Hongjiu, making it impossible for them to see each other.

Despite the vast area of ​​the sea affected by the explosion, the combined power of the water spray from the three Celestial Immortals was still something that cultivators at the Human Immortal level could not easily withstand.

However, Li Hongjiu's method of using the opponent's force against them was not just for show. With one hand, she flicked her sleeve to block the attack, and with the other hand, she flicked her sleeve to depress the force of the impact from below.

After clearing a patch of vision from the splashing water, he was wondering if Shi Chun could withstand it when he suddenly saw Shi Chun's figure leaping into the air nearby. He was using the Boundless Banner as a stepping stone for his aerial steps, holding one end of the banner in each hand and using it to block the impact of the waves. With the Black Lotus Dharma Image protecting him, he was clearly protecting himself very well and was extremely careful with his life.

The movements were a bit comical.

Of course, Li Hongjiu already found this guy sleazy, so it was normal for him to look ridiculous, so he didn't care. What he really cared about was that this bastard was really jumping around in the sky as if he were walking on flat ground. He had noticed this when they fought in the Divine Fire Domain years ago. At the time, he thought it was some kind of magic, but after observing it up close, he found that it was not at all. This bastard has quite a few tricks up his sleeve!
For Shi Chun, appearance doesn't matter. Why does it matter if someone is good-looking when it comes to survival? Being useful is the best thing.

Shi Chun turned his head and saw Li Hongjiu. When he saw Li Hongjiu stop in the water, he immediately stopped running. He felt that no matter how much he ran, it was not as safe as staying by Li Hongjiu's side.

Li Hongjiu glanced at the water splashing around her that continued to rise into the air, and realized that the ability to borrow momentum from the ebb and flow of the tide had been instantly broken by the combined efforts of the three Celestial Immortals.

He knew that once a loophole was found in this method, it would be impossible to use it a second time on those three celestial masters.

Shi Chun naturally understood the implications and was secretly thinking that things were going badly and that he was doomed when he suddenly saw Li Hongjiu clap his hands together and then swing his arms to the left and right, flicking his fingers to ignite two flames of divine fire, which then shot out two beams of divine fire from his fingertips.

The divine fire, upon encountering water, instantly vaporized it, and the firelight rapidly decomposed, splitting into four, then eight, continuing to disintegrate and quickly scattering in small scatterings. In an instant, the sky above the exploding water droplets was rendered as brilliant as a sunset, rising and blooming like a giant mushroom cloud.

A group of people in the distance looked a bit confused, as the splashing water obscured their view and they couldn't see what was happening.

A group of people stared intently at the mirror in front of the inn.

In the trench, the white-haired old man who shattered the large triangular sea area with a single palm strike showed no mercy. While shattering it, regardless of whether he could see Li Hongjiu and the others, he casually stirred up that brilliant, icy disc and threw it towards the location of Li Hongjiu and the others.

Wherever the white disc went, the water instantly froze and solidified. It rolled through the water like a wheel, quickly shoving past the spot where Li Hongjiu and the other person had just stood on the sea. Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and managed to dodge in time.

The white-haired old man, who had not yet retracted the Cold Moon Shield, suddenly looked up again and saw that the sky-piercing water spray, which looked like it had been ignited, displayed a fantastical reddish hazy feeling. There was a strange sense of light and shadow intertwining inside, as if all kinds of demons and monsters were wandering around.

In the trench, the three celestial masters, each capable of single-handedly holding off a sea wall, were now feeling the terrifying power of the accumulated ocean collapsing. Almost simultaneously, they looked up at the scene in the sky, all showing expressions of surprise and doubt, wondering what kind of trouble was about to unfold. Those watching from afar couldn't see clearly, nor could those in front of the mirror.

Shi Chun, who was standing next to Li Hongjiu, saw everything clearly. He saw Li Hongjiu slash his finger in front of him, with arcs of electricity flashing at his fingertips and gusts of wind swirling around him.

The surrounding mist swirled, the wind picked up, and the hazy red light gradually faded away.

Shi Chun roughly knew what he was going to do, that he was probably going to control lightning again, but the current situation made it difficult for the phenomenon to quickly take shape, and the magical fluctuations of the three Celestial Immortals had clearly been repeatedly scanning them.

He said anxiously, "Brother Jiu, it's probably too late to gather the power of thunder. And the scale is probably not enough to deal with experts like them. We should think of another way."

As he spoke, he used his right eye's special ability to observe his surroundings, fearing that the three experts might come to ambush him.

"Not necessarily, we'll borrow if it's not enough!" Li Hongjiu said calmly, her expression showing no panic, remaining composed.

The two fingers that were striking in front of him suddenly flicked, and the arc of electricity flashing at the fingertips turned into a small stream of light that rushed into the churning clouds. It seemed to ignite something, and burst out with a loud rumble of thunder, with faint flashes of electricity.

The three celestial masters within the three trenches had abandoned their support of the sea walls and emerged from the water one after another. Immediately, the three massive sea walls collapsed, submerging the large triangle they had drawn in the sea.

Having severed Haili's lifeline, the three who were about to rush forward and make a strong move hesitated when they saw the sudden appearance of billowing fog and thunder in the clear, sunny sky. They all knew that Li Hongjiu was a bit strange.

But that doesn’t mean they can just sit idly by. Especially the old man with white hair reaching his waist, who didn’t care about Shi Chun’s life or death at all, so he attacked without any scruples and immediately unleashed another palm strike from a distance.

This palm strike surged forth, seemingly aiming to clear away the vast expanse of rising mist in one fell swoop.

As a result, when he struck with his palm, the entire sea of ​​mist indeed rippled and moved, but it did not move as he had imagined; instead, it spun rapidly.

Shi Chun, who was in the sea of ​​fog, quickly looked around. He saw that the swirling fog around him suddenly howled and began to spin wildly. He then looked at Li Hongjiu in front of him, who seemed to be in a trance, focused and at ease. Although the strong wind around him made his clothes flutter, he was not moved at all.

The mist around them was instantly sucked away, and they found themselves standing inside a huge hollow column of wind, where a massive mist tornado instantly took shape.

The white-haired old man, whose attack had failed to break through, immediately cast a spell and shouted, "What are you two waiting for? Let's join forces and break through together, just like before!"

The sound was like thunder, reaching between heaven and earth, buzzing and vibrating in people's eardrums.

After speaking, he launched the first attack, unleashing a barrage of blows with both palms.

The men in black and gray immediately followed suit, launching a barrage of attacks from a distance.

However, they soon realized something was wrong. With their strength at the Celestial Immortal level, their powerful attacks hit the tornado but it didn't make any noise. The only change was that the tornado's rotation speed was getting faster and faster, as if it were turning the world upside down.

It was not just getting faster and faster; for Shi Chun, who was in the eye of the tornado, the rotation speed around him was ridiculously fast. Staring at one spot up close made him dizzy. Electric snakes were moving all around him, and when he looked up, the blinding electric light was like a royal court of thunder.

The Dong Sheng group, floating in the distance, looked up and saw that it was getting dark. Rolling dark clouds pushed out from above the tornado began to spread rapidly in all directions, covering the sky. The speed at which they spread was so fast that it truly made the world change color.

Lightning bolts crackled and flashed within the rapidly dark clouds that were obscuring the sky. The light on the horizon was slowly fading, and the rising sun, barely visible above the sea, was suppressed to a mere sliver.

The wind was howling, and huge waves were crashing on the sea; the feeling that a violent storm was about to break out at sea was becoming increasingly clear.

The group was astonished by the violent expansion of the dark clouds. One of them couldn't help but swallow and say, "What kind of magic is this? How can a cultivator at the Immortal Realm have such a powerful driving force?"

The square-faced leader stared at the tornado's feet and muttered, "It seems to be drawing seawater!"

In the mirror image of the inn, no human figures could be seen. Only a thick, swirling, vast cloud layer obscured everything. In the center of the swirling cloud, the surging thunder resembled countless glittering dragons dancing and swirling.
