Lin Bei looked up at the sky and saw space distortion. A black hook shuttled through the void and flew towards him.
"What the hell is that?"
Lin Bei frowned slightly. He did not rush forward directly but dodged. This thing came out strangely. He did not even sense any aura in advance. It could be seen that this pitch-black hook was definitely extraordinary. If he rushed forward rashly, he might fail.
Although he was only a spirit body condensed by his main body and his death would not affect his main body, he did not want to die in vain. The purpose of his trip was to explore the Azure Beast Qilin cave abode hidden in the Bleak Mountain. Before he obtained valuable information, he was unwilling to die.
"Hmm… I'll wait for my main body to refine the Divine Splitting Spear first. This hook… I'll think about it later. I'll dodge it first."
Soon, Lin Bei had a plan. While waiting for the instructions from his main body, he dodged the attack of the black flying hook.
It had to be said that this black flying hook was very extraordinary. Not only could it perfectly hide its aura, but it could also travel through space soundlessly. It was very strange.
"This movement technique is somewhat similar to the power of the divine rune 'Shift' I just mastered. It's really powerful."
Lin Bei kept using the "Shift" divine rune to dodge the attack of the black flying hook. It was relatively easy.
In fact, this was also thanks to his divine runic power. Otherwise, if he had only relied on his own strength to tear through the void and dodge, he would have been hit long ago.
"This black flying hook… is interesting."
As Lin Bei dodged, he stared at the black flying hook that kept moving through space. A bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"If I can take it for myself, wouldn't it be equivalent to having another trump card when I use it with the divine rune of the word 'Shift'?"
Lin Bei thought about it and was actually a little excited.
Among his current trump cards, the most powerful attack was undoubtedly the Dao Rune Bomb that he had condensed after using the Chaos Breathing Technique to fuse all the power of ancient martial arts.
However, although the Dao Rune Bomb's destructive power was astonishing, it had a fatal weakness—it was difficult to lock onto a target and attack accurately.
Such a flaw was undoubtedly fatal to the Dao Rune Bomb.
If it was in the past, if he wanted to use this move, unless he set up a trap in advance and let the enemy fall into the trap he had set up, or used some control skill to prevent the enemy from dodging, the power of the Dao Rune Bomb would definitely not be able to unleash fully.
This was because even if the enemy only dodged for a small distance, it would cause the core position of the Dao Rune Bomb to deviate from the enemy when it exploded, causing it to be unable to be fully used.
However, if he could get his hands on this black flying hook, he would not have to worry so much.
The black flying hook hid its aura and could even travel through space at will. It was simply elusive. Coupled with the help of the divine rune of the word "Shift", his Dao Rune Bomb could hit the target wherever it pointed without any effort!
As for setting up in advance or using control skills?
There was no need at all!
"I haven't even found the Azure Beast Qilin's cave abode, but I've already encountered such a good thing. If I find the Azure Beast Qilin's cave abode, won't I be able to obtain more benefits?"
Lin Bei's eyes flickered and he was excited.
He was almost certain that this black flying hook was definitely related to the legendary Azure Beast Qilin's cave abode. Otherwise, how could such a powerful treasure appear in the mere Azure Dragon Domain?
Almost all the supreme treasures of the Azure Dragon Domain had been destroyed by him alone. The black flying hook in front of him was definitely not a supreme treasure of the Azure Dragon lineage.
"Since you insist on provoking me, I'll see what you're capable of!"
After the spirit body received the command of its main body, battle intent erupted in its eyes. Then, it raised its hand and the power of Heavenly Defense condensed into a transparent light shield in front of it. At the same time, a divine rune with the word "Defense" appeared and surged into the light shield to meet the flying black hook.
Clang—!
A loud sound that was like a huge bell suddenly resounded throughout the entire Bleak Mountain. Below, the Bleak Mountain that was originally cut in half by Dai Wanqing's sword actually collapsed under this loud bang and turned into ruins.
With just one move, the black flying hook was actually comparable to Lin Bei in his spirit body state!
Lin Bei's eyes were filled with excitement. In his spirit body state, he had already used his full strength in the attack just now. Moreover, he had used the power of ancient martial arts and divine runes at the same time.
Even so, the impact of the black flying hook still made him feel the blood in his body surge and his bones tremble.
"Haha, it's indeed interesting!"
Lin Bei laughed. "However, the power of Heavenly Defense is not only defense, but also counterattack after defense!"
As expected, just as the black flying hook did not succeed in its attack and was about to accumulate strength to launch a second attack, a black hole-like vortex suddenly appeared on the light shield condensed from the power of Heavenly Defense. At the same time, the light on the light shield dimmed and infinite energy converged into the vortex.
The power that surged into the vortex not only contained the power of Heavenly Defense, but it also fused with the impact power of the black flying hook.
Therefore, the counterattack of the light shield was an attack after the combination of two powers!
