Chapter 5210: Chapter 5208-returning to spring

However, even so, Duanmu Yu did not reveal any flaws. In an instant, she adjusted her strategy and prepared to take the first move!
Falling leaves in autumn and falling leaves like a mountain were the most common and most threatening combo attacks. This was also Duanmu Yu’s original plan. However, just like falling leaves in autumn, falling leaves like a mountain also required time to accumulate power. Everyone knew about this combo, but they still couldn’t guard against it. This was because no one knew where and when falling leaves ‘attack would come from.!!
The problem now was that due to the bone-chilling effect of the painting earth prison, Duanmu Yu discovered that the true Qi in her body had begun to show signs of stagnation. If this continued, she would not be able to use a mountain like leaf again.
Rather than sitting on the ground and waiting for death, it was better to take a gamble.
A thin iron leaf appeared out of thin air above Leng Leng’s head. Then, it suddenly pressed down with an incomparably thick and majestic aura. The leaf was like a mountain!
BOOM! The iron leaf was only the size of a palm, but there was a clear leaf mark on the ground that was half the size of a basketball court. Moreover, the depth of the dent was as high as a person, which was jaw-dropping.
“Ah!” Lingshan and the others cried out in shock-didn’t that mean that a mountain of leaves would crush Leng Leng to death?
However, they heaved a sigh of relief soon after because Leng Leng had already charged out from the leaf seal. Although she was obviously injured, it should not be too serious judging from her current state.
“Is this guy made of iron?” Someone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. The others were also puzzled. They had seen the power of a mountain of leaves with their own eyes. An expert of the great circle of the Foundation Stage was blown away on the spot. Even if Leng Leng’s strength was stronger than an ordinary expert of the great circle of the Foundation Stage, she shouldn’t be able to jump around after being hit by a mountain of leaves. This was too exaggerated!
Xue Jianfeng snorted upon hearing this. The scene just now might not be understood by ordinary people, but he, an early gold core expert, had seen it very clearly. Duanmu Yu’s “mountain-like leaf” was indeed very powerful. An ordinary expert of the great circle of the Foundation Stage would be courting death if he were to take it head-on. The same was true for Leng Leng.
However, Leng Leng did not take the attack head-on. Instead, before the mountain-like leaf came crashing down, she had already stepped on the ground and shrunk back. Rather than saying that the mountain-like Leaf’s power had hit her, it was more accurate to say that most of it had been absorbed by the ground. That was why she had been so lightly injured.
Xue Jianfeng secretly felt that it was a pity. He had been looking forward to Leng Leng being beaten to death by Duanmu Yu, but he never thought that she would be able to escape.
“This is terrible!” Duanmu Yu’s heart immediately thumped. Falling leaves in autumn and a falling mountain had already consumed more than half of the true Qi in her body. She had bet more than half of her chips. At the very least, she had to severely injure the other party to be able to control the situation. The current situation was not good.
A flaw! Leng Leng’s eyes lit up. She charged forward without the slightest hesitation and gave Duanmu Yu a kick. With a bang, Duanmu Yu was sent flying.
“It’s a pity,” Lin Yi shook his head at the scene. Leng Leng’s timing was perfect. Duanmu Yu’s momentary distraction did reveal a small opening, but Leng Leng was affected by Lin Yi’s ground imprisonment and her speed was slower than usual, giving her opponent a chance to defend. Otherwise, the winner would have been decided already.
Leng Leng also felt that it was a pity, while Duanmu Yu could not help but secretly think that she was lucky. Even though she had already used her arms to block her chest before her opponent’s kick could hit her, and her protective true Qi had also been strengthened to the extreme in an instant, she still suffered quite a heavy impact. In particular, a thin layer of white frost had actually formed on her arms.
In her current situation, the longer she dragged on, the greater the effect of ground imprisonment. Her earlier flaw was also affected by this. After taking the cold kick head-on, the freezing effect was magnified infinitely. The White frost was the symbol. At this moment, she could not even feel the existence of her two arms, as they were completely frozen.
Hu! Coold heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing this. She was about to give her opponent the final blow. To be honest, even she could not withstand the powerful freezing effect of ground imprisonment. If she continued to delay, she would probably end up like her opponent.
“Should we admit defeat?” Leng Leng suddenly stopped moving. There was no enmity between her and Duanmu Yu. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to use too much force. Otherwise, it would not just be a matter of being eliminated from the competition. It was also unknown whether Duanmu Yu would be able to fully recover from his heavy injuries. If there were any residual effects from this, it would be even more troublesome in the future.
No one knew better than her how terrifying it was to be trapped in a prison. This level of frostbite really couldn’t be cured easily.
“What are you saying?” Duanmu Yu, however, took a glance at her. A trace of determination suddenly flashed through his eyes.”The battle has only just begun, hasn’t it?”
As she spoke, a withered leaf slowly slid out of her palm. Everyone could not help but look at each other. At this point, Duanmu Yu still wanted to rely on the falling leaf to turn the tables? although his perseverance was commendable, it was not too realistic, right?
Leng Leng was also extremely puzzled. However, her reaction was extremely quick. From her perspective, she had already done her utmost to give her opponent a chance to admit defeat. Since Duanmu Yu wanted to fight to the end, she could only fulfill his wish!
Without another word, Leng Leng immediately gave her opponent the final blow. At this moment, both of Duanmu Yu’s arms had already turned numb from the cold. Even the movement of sliding out the withered leaf earlier appeared extremely clumsy, let alone counterattacking.
However, before the cold attack could hit him, an incomparably powerful life force suddenly erupted from Duanmu Yu’s body. It was as if it had materialized and his entire body was emitting a piercing light.
“The dead leaves … Have turned green?” Lin Yi looked at the leaf that was slowly falling to the ground, surprised. It was a patch of green, full of life.
“This is the rejuvenation of the withered leaves!” Xin Yijie cried out in shock. No wonder he, the martial uncle-master who was leading the team, was so shocked. In fact, he wasn’t the only one. Even Bing Wuqing was visibly moved by this scene.
[Rejuvenation of withered leaves] was one of the few signature moves of leaf spirit sect, just like falling leaves in autumn. However, this was never something that Foundation establishment disciples could master. In theory, only golden core stage experts could master it. No one would have thought that Duanmu Yu, who was only at the great circle of Foundation establishment, had actually mastered this move!
From the looks of it, even if this girl’s strength and potential could not be compared to shocking geniuses like Leng Leng and Ling Tianyou, they were not far off.
As the name implied, the rejuvenation of withered leaves allowed one’s exhausted physical strength and true Qi to miraculously recover to their peak condition in a short period of time! At the same time, it could also remove most of the injuries! If it wasn’t for the terrifying aftereffects, this was almost without a doubt a divine skill! (To be continued.) ”
