One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

As the referee finished speaking, the battle officially began.

Su Mu glanced at Zhang Lingyu, who was standing still, and raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't you going to attack?"

"Then I'll test the waters first."

As he spoke, he raised his folding bow and fired three arrows in quick succession.

Although it was just three basic attacks, there wasn't even any change in additional attributes.

However, its power is now vastly different from what it was when it was used in the back mountain of Nanbukai.

After unlocking Wind Element Manipulation - Intermediate, Su Mu underwent a qualitative change.

The arrows he shoots now are at least three times more powerful than before.

However, Zhang Lingyu remained completely calm in the face of such a powerful attack.

He simply raised his hand, and the next second, a large amount of black liquid gushed out from his sleeve, instantly transforming into a thick shield wall that blocked his way.

The arrow Su Mu fired collided with the shield wall, making a crisp cracking sound, and then disappeared without a trace, as if it had vanished into the sea.

Seeing this, Su Mu's brow twitched.

As expected, Zhang Lingyu had already put aside his prejudice against Yin Wulei before their battle.

Although I didn't use my full strength in those attacks, I could clearly feel that the Yin Five Thunders form was much more defensive than the Golden Light Mantra, which could only be used for head-on collisions.

The idea that non-Newtonian fluids can handle this kind of penetrating power is still too authoritative.

The audience immediately started discussing when they saw Su Mu's arrow being blocked.

"Holy crap! I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"Brother Su's arrow...it was actually blocked?!"

"What exactly is that black thing Zhang Lingyu has?"

In their memory, Su Mu had only shot arrows a few times, when he faced Hu Jie and Jia Zhengliang.

But no matter which time it was, the power of his arrows was astonishing.

Especially the time when they beat up Jia Zhengliang.

It should be noted that Jia Zhengliang's Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was a magical artifact that he nurtured with Qi since childhood.

Its hardness far exceeds that of ordinary steel.

But even such a throwing knife was easily destroyed by Su Mu.

This is enough to prove the power of Su Mu's arrow.

But now, Su Mu took the initiative to attack, only to have his attack easily blocked by Zhang Lingyu...

It can only be said that Zhang Lingyu truly deserves to be the closed-door disciple of Zhang Zhiwei, the pinnacle of the supernatural world!

Not only were the audience expressing their surprise, but Zhang Chulan's face was also filled with astonishment and shock.

Those black liquids... are they Yin Five Thunders?!

Although Zhang Chulan had not learned Yin Five Thunder, he was very familiar with Yang Five Thunder.

In addition, he had fought Zhang Lingyu once before and had been struck by Yin Wu Lei, so he was very familiar with the aura of Yin Wu Lei.

However, the Yin Five Thunders that Zhang Lingyu used last time were clearly no different from my own Yang Five Thunders.

Why has his Yin Five Thunder turned out like this now?

On the field, Zhang Lingyu slowly opened her mouth.

"A long time ago, I made a mistake."

"I have always found it difficult to talk about this matter; it feels like a thorn in my side."

"Because of this, I cannot cultivate Yang Five Thunders, but can only cultivate Yin Five Thunders."

"I admire the uprightness and unparalleled ferocity of Yang Wu Lei, so I have always used Yang Wu Lei techniques to perform Yin Wu Lei..."

He paused here.

"I originally thought that even so, I was capable of doing what I was supposed to do and achieving my goals, until I met you."

"I know that if I act the same way as before, I will never be your match."

"I can't lose this grand Taoist ritual... at least I can't lose too badly."

"so……"

Zhang Lingyu raised his hands, and even more pitch-black Yin Five Thunderbolts surged out.

"Heavy and murky, yet strangely unpredictable."

"It will spread like mercury, penetrating every crevice."

In the audience, Zhang Zhiwei murmured something.

"This is the true face of Yin Wu Lei."

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Although it looks oppressive and sticky, it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling."

"But Lingyu, this child, has finally been able to accept herself."

"The Yin Five Thunders suck out bones and marrow, corrupt the mind and weaken the will. Unless one's cultivation is far superior to Lingyu's, there is no good way to defend against the attack of this black thunder."

"In this match, we'll see if Su Mu has any way to keep up."

As Lu Jin spoke, Zhang Lingyu had already spread Yin Five Thunder almost across the entire area.

The black, dirty mines, like a spreading carpet of fungus, gradually squeezed out the space on the field where one could still stand.

Su Mu kept dodging, but didn't come up with any new moves.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu said calmly, "I will name this move Northern Azure Pool."

"Su Mu, let me see if you can break through my Yin Five Thunder."

On the sidelines, Zhang Chulan exclaimed that things were going badly.

"Oh no, this Zhang Lingyu is too freakish!"

"They can actually cover the entire area with Yin Five Thunderbolts?"

"In that case, even if Brother Su has time-related abilities, he wouldn't be able to teleport next to Zhang Lingyu, right?"

Zhang Chulan kept rubbing his hair with both hands, his face full of anxiety.

"Brother Su, you were wrong too. You could have activated your ability earlier and killed Zhang Lingyu before he could unleash the Yin Five Thunders. Why didn't you do it?"

"Even if we can't kill him, at least we can weaken him a bit, preventing his Yin Five Thunders from spreading out so smoothly!"

Xu San, standing nearby, offered words of comfort.

"Chu Lan, don't be in such a hurry..."

"How can I not be anxious?" Zhang Chulan exclaimed in despair. "If Brother Su collapses here, then I'll be the one to beat up Zhang Lingyu!"

"How am I supposed to hit Zhang Lingyu in this state?"

On the other side, Zhuge Qing frowned as he observed the situation on the field.

"That shouldn't be the case..."

"Su Mu doesn't seem like the kind of person who lacks combat intelligence."

"He can't let Zhang Lingyu complete his plan unless—"

"He has another way to break the deadlock."

Wang also finished speaking.

"That's right."

Zhuge Qing nodded and turned to look at Wang Ye.

"Speaking of which, Master Wang, I still don't understand your duel with Su Mu."

"What exactly...did you and Su Mu do?"

"Hehe, it's nothing," Wang Ye chuckled. "Let's watch the game."

At this moment, the last piece of land on the field is about to be covered by Yin Wu Lei.

Zhang Lingyu snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

"If that's the case, then don't blame me!"

"The Northern Azure Pool!"

With a shout, Yin Wu Lei suddenly surged up from all directions around Su Mu, transforming into countless black hands that grabbed at Su Mu!

"It's over!"

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Brother Su, danger!

Feeling the Yin Five Thunderbolts rushing in from all directions, Su Mu smiled slightly.

It's time.

The next second, a pair of wings, entirely blue with intricate patterns on their surface, suddenly unfolded behind him!

With just a pat, the wind elements gathered and then suddenly erupted!

Su Mu soared into the blue sky like a shot-out arrow!

"What?!"

Zhang Lingyu's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

He had considered that Su Mu might be able to withstand this attack.

But to his utter surprise, Su Mu could actually fly!

And it wasn't a brief glide or an explosive takeoff.

Su Mu was able to hover in mid-air for so long?!

How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?
