Chapter 149: The Power of Magic and Martial Arts Combined (Part 2)

Seeing Lin Zhantian pounce, Lin Xing pushed off the ground, flying backward. Simultaneously, he silently chanted incantations, casting auxiliary spells like "Lightning Web," "Thunder Speed," and "Thunder Illusion" on himself. "Thunder Strike!" Lin Xing shouted, unleashing an intermediate-level spell. Using beginner-level magic against a Saint Level expert was futile. Intermediate spells were more effective; advanced ones took too long to incant, making intermediate magic the practical choice.

Instantly, five or six bolts of lightning appeared above Lin Zhantian's head, striking down towards him.

"Bring it on!" Lin Zhantian exclaimed excitedly. With a single, wide-arcing slash, he easily dispersed the lightning bolts. He blurred into motion, charging towards Lin Xing once more.

Seeing Lin Zhantian easily break that move, Lin Xing was somewhat surprised but didn't panic. "Thunderstorm!" "Heavenly Thunder!" He cast two advanced magic spells. Lin Zhantian laughed heartily, and immediately, silvery-white Battle Qi burst forth from his entire body, forming a protective shield around him.

A series of crackling sounds rang out as all the lightning bolts landed on the Battle Qi. The Battle Qi wavered a few times but didn't shatter, only its color dimmed slightly.

The power still wasn't great enough, Lin Xing thought to himself. This was also due to Lin Xing's novice mastery of magic. If a Magic Saint were to cast it, Lin Zhantian wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

Lin Xing understood that relying on magic alone, he couldn't do anything to Lin Zhantian. He would have to combine it with martial arts. With a twist of his wrist, his staff instantly transformed into a blade. However, it wasn't the Dragon Slaying Sword. The Dragon Slaying Sword was a divine weapon and wasn't suitable for use now!

Lin Xing let out a loud shout, immediately leaping into the air and pouncing towards Lin Zhantian.

"Boom!" The two clashed head-on, the tremendous impact sending them both hurtling back.

Magic, martial arts... Lin Xing focused his will, mobilizing the Thunder Element within his body. The Thunder Element surged wildly into the blade in his hand.

At this moment, Lin Xing's blade was covered with Thunder Element, crackling with electricity.

"Father, again!" Lin Xing shouted. He disengaged, then immediately pressed the attack.

"Alright!" Lin Zhantian laughed heartily, closing the distance to clash with Lin Xing once more. Just as their weapons collided, Lin Xing concentrated again. The Thunder Element within his body surged out wildly, forming a bolt of lightning at the tip of his blade that shot towards Lin Zhantian.

Lin Zhantian's face tightened. He felt a numbing sensation travel up his arm. The Thunder Element Lin Xing had distributed on his blade had surged into Lin Zhantian's arm the moment their weapons collided. He channeled powerful Battle Qi through his arm, dispelling the numbness. But in that same instant, the lightning Lin Xing had hidden behind the weapon attack struck.

Lin Zhantian roared, punching the lightning bolt. His fist went numb, but he successfully dispersed the lightning. At the same time, Lin Zhantian leapt back.

The advantage of lightning was that it could numb any creature, even if only for an instant. But experts often end battles in an instant!

"Thunderbolt Technique!" Lin Xing consecutively summoned several Thunderbolt spells to strike at Lin Zhantian, while his entire body flew forward, slashing down at Lin Zhantian with his blade. He could now near-instantly cast low-level spells. Simultaneously, Lin Xing was pleasantly surprised to discover that using martial arts didn't hinder his ability to cast magic attacks. So, for a moment, bolts of lightning crazily assaulted Lin Zhantian, while Lin Xing also pounced.

For a while, Lin Zhantian was thrown into disarray by Lin Xing. Although these lightning bolts were only the lowest-level magic, if he allowed such dense lightning attacks to hit him, even though they might not have much killing power, they would still gradually drain the power of his Battle Qi.

Dodging to the side to avoid the last few lightning bolts, Lin Xing's attack arrived again. Lin Zhantian had no choice but to retreat frantically!

Now, Lin Xing's entire body was charged with electricity! His weapon was too. If Lin Zhantian's weapon made contact with Lin Xing's, the lightning would seize the opportunity to invade Lin Zhantian's body. A momentary numbness could lead to Lin Zhantian's defeat!

"Heavenly Thunder!" Lin Xing shouted, unleashing this advanced magic. Crackling sounds filled the air as countless lightning bolts gathered above Lin Zhantian!

The best way to fight a mage was to engage in close combat. But this method wasn't suitable against Lin Xing because he practiced both magic and martial arts.

In a blur of movement, Lin Zhantian moved out of the lightning attack area, raising his blade to pounce towards Lin Xing. Lin Xing immediately summoned several lightning bolts to block Lin Zhantian's path, while simultaneously flying forward. His mouth was already preparing another advanced magic!

"Thunderstorm!" Lin Xing shouted. A large electric sphere suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zhantian. Instantly, the sphere exploded.

"Boom!" A violent force erupted in the field. The explosive impact of the electric sphere actually blasted a large crater in the ground. Lin Zhantian's voice came through. "You brat, are you trying to kill me?" Lin Zhantian dodged the attack in a bedraggled manner. He hadn't expected Lin Xing, who practiced both magic and martial arts, to be so troublesome.

If both sides were fighting to the death, or given some time for Lin Xing's attacks to become more mature, Lin Xing's offensive power would become even more terrifying!

"I know something like this can't hurt you, Father," Lin Xing said. Precisely because he knew it couldn't harm Lin Zhantian, Lin Xing dared to unleash such a high-level magic attack. "Let's stop. There's no point continuing like this. However, Lin Xing, your attack patterns still need improvement. Your current attack mode isn't perfected yet." Lin Zhantian immediately pointed out Lin Xing's current shortcomings. Lin Xing nodded and said, "I know that too. I've just mastered magic recently; I'm not even applying magic attacks perfectly yet. I need some time to perfect it. Moreover, the main thing is, I want to create my own magic skills. The few attacks I have now are too monotonous."

"If you can perfectly combine magic and martial arts in your usage, your strength will rise another level. If you can create your own attack skills, that would be even better. After all, what belongs to you is the best," Lin Zhantian said.

"Let's end it here for today. Come on, let's go back and continue drinking. We father and son should have a good heart-to-heart talk." Lin Zhantian laughed heartily.

"Alright!" Lin Xing was also very happy. "Let's go!" A black shadow flashed as Lin Zhantian took the lead and vanished.

Lin Xing also deployed his movement technique, flying towards the military camp.
