Chapter 253: Chapter 237: With such masterful techniques like yours, Chu Yi’s Deviation-Breaking Fist Technique!
PUFF!
His Soul burst. Luo Xin felt a clang in his head, and his whole body convulsed.
If it weren’t for his formidable bloodline nurturing such a powerful Soul, this explosion would have torn his consciousness apart.
"Mere human..."
Luo Xin staggered and fell, a wave of dizziness washing over him. "You indeed have problems! Once I kill you, all your secrets will be mine!"
He sneered, but even as he did, Chu Yi’s spear pierced his head, and he dissolved into a tangled mess of shadows.
Luo Xin flashed out from the rear, his arms squirming, each transforming into a sharp blade. They weaved a dark, cross-shaped radiance that sliced into Chu Yi’s flesh.
CLANG!
The Golden Body pulsed, scattering fragmented golden light.
The Golden Body, impervious to ghosts and evil spirits, was struck by the powerful Shadow Power, yet the damage was reduced by ninety percent. Chu Yi, snapping back to his senses, activated the Blood Spear. The power of ancient times swirled around him as he thrust the spear out like a lightning bolt, only to be intercepted by a pair of Shadow Blades.
When experts clashed, it wasn’t complicated. It was straightforward and brutal; deadly moves were often decided in an instant.
The two battled fiercely. However, Chu Yi, drawing on the power of ancient times, consistently gained the initiative and accumulated several Soul Seals.
"Explode!"
Chu Yi unleashed a Soul Burst Technique with a flick of his wrist; an engraved Soul Seal instantly detonated on Luo Xin. His body trembled violently, causing him to frequently make mistakes in the conflict.
This continued until the Blood Spear, thrust at a tricky angle, morphed into a crimson dragon. It grazed Luo Xin’s shoulder, leaving a mark and inflicting a [Bleed] debuff. Luo Xin’s body stiffened. He realized it was a curse and was just about to dispel it.
BANG!
Chu Yi detonated another Soul Burst Technique, making Luo Xin cough up blood. His shadowy body flattened against the ground as he moved with extreme speed, reappearing several hundred meters away in an instant.
His Bloodline Domain was perfectly countered by this human. The human’s peculiar defensive golden light made him difficult to harm, while Luo Xin himself was exceptionally vulnerable to Soul-targeted attacks, against which he had little defense.
Moreover, most of his power was currently occupied dealing with the Dragon Witch, which left him struggling against this human whose defenses were seemingly impenetrable.
Chu Yi no longer held back. His bones began to glow, and his Golden Body shone brilliantly as he transformed into a Golden Warrior General. He resembled a blazing sun hanging high in the sky, illuminating the gloomy, shadow-filled land.
The intense golden light also concealed a small cluster of dazzling white light coiling around his Divine Hand. He then ignited the Nether Bone Fire, which burned with a platinum luminescence.
"Abba abba, is that all the Werewolf can do? Abba abba, eat shit..."
He mocked decisively, taking a step forward and transforming into a blazing streak of fire as he chased after Luo Xin.
Wherever he stepped, the shadows recoiled, ignited by the spreading Bone Fire.
"Courting death!"
Luo Xin certainly couldn’t allow himself to be provoked by some low-level fodder, but then he remembered his plan. He was a distinguished figure, a follower of the Golden lineage; of course, he could remain composed. He sneered internally and retreated swiftly.
"Run again and you’re my son!" Chu Yi shouted, grabbing the Blood Spear and hurling it.
"You..."
Luo Xin was about to retort when a sharp whistling sound came from behind. The Blood Spear, imbued with the power of ancient times, attacked mere moments before Luo Xin could even process the thought.
He transformed into a series of shadowy outlines, dodging the strike. With a grasping motion of his ethereal hand, a shadowy hand emerged nearby and seized the Blood Spear.
"Truly foolish, to throw away your weapon! Just like a soldier abandoning his sword, only to be slaughtered."
Luo Xin couldn’t help but laugh. He coveted this forbidden item, an artifact related to a time-attribute deity and thus immensely precious. And the other party just threw it away! Is he overconfident or just plain stupid?
But in the next moment, the Blood Spear shattered. It reverted to a previous state in time, reappearing in Chu Yi’s hand.
It was one of the seven keys to summoning the King of Deep Red. Initially unruly, it had been molded by Chu Yi to suit his will, unlocking more of its knowledge and allowing him to wield it proficiently. Though he was now proficiently wielding this weapon, there was still so much more of its potential to unlock.
Luo Xin spluttered incoherently, thoroughly disgusted by this mocking charade.
"What’s with all the barking?"
Chu Yi seized the opportunity to close the distance. He detonated a Soul Seal, staggering Luo Xin. Then, his Divine Hand punched out, unleashing a Laser Cannon blast that sent Luo Xin’s figure flying.
This time, Luo Xin felt even worse. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have split my power! I would have killed this damned human directly!
WHOOSH!
In this shadow-covered land, one pursued and the other fled. Their speed was tremendous, tearing through the air and leaving a trail of sonic booms. Any stones, trees, or earth they collided with along the way instantly shattered, kicking up billowing clouds of dust.
Meanwhile, Chu Yi kept up a relentless barrage of expertly delivered taunts and vulgarities, continuously stoking the Shadow Werewolf’s fury.
BOOM!
When Luo Xin finally stopped running, a dense shadow, like a deep sea, spread out. Bizarre hands emerged from it, each hundreds of meters wide. Its palm revealed a giant mouth lined with concentric circles of sharp teeth. From these mouths, several figures of old men and children emerged, their eyes grey and dull, staring blankly at the intruder.
"Ten Thousand Shadows Puppet Hand!" Luo Xin snorted coldly.
Countless giant hands formed from shadows surrounded Chu Yi, trapping him in this abyss-like, eerie place. The figures that had been swallowed by these giant hands let out miserable screams.
"Grandpa, I... I can’t see anything... I’m so scared..."
"Child, where are you? Come home for dinner..."
"It’s so dark... what is this place..."
These beings protruded from the palms of the giant hands. Below their waists, they had snake-like bodies. All of them wore eerie smiles on their pale faces.
The beings from the border town Luo Xin had ’devoured’ had become part of the shadow, nurturing these terrifying ecological War Beasts.
