Su Chen did not dodge; instead, he deliberately took the hit of the spear.
Certainly not to gain forgiveness from Shuiyue Jingxiang.
He just felt that because of his slip of the tongue, he should take the hit of the spear.
As for allowing Shuiyue Jingxiang to kill him?
Sorry, he wasn't that generous.
His life was precious, and he had many important missions yet to complete.
And, he didn't feel like he truly owed Shuiyue Jingxiang anything.
The Energy Spear concentrated once again in the hands of the Centaur, and then it shot towards Su Chen.
The fearsome spear's power was far greater than the Sniper Bullet.
The only flaw was its somewhat slower speed.
Otherwise, Su Chen would have been killed by the Energy Spear by now.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!
The Energy Spear could split mountains and shatter stones.
With a force that could demolish anything effortlessly.
Fortunately, this was already the outskirts, a place with few people around.
Thus, no innocent bystanders were hurt.
Tree after tree was snapped by the spear.
The ground, too, bore scars of devastation.
Su Chen constantly dodged the Energy Spear attacks.
He was well aware of the spear's power and naturally couldn't afford to clash with it head-on.
He didn't believe that Shuiyue Jingxiang could maintain this high-intensity attack with her Centaur Shikigami indefinitely.
Shikigami, also known as Shi Gui in Dongyin.
They are the Spiritual Bodies summoned and controlled by Magicians under their commands; their power depends on their summoning Magicians.
That is to say, after summoning a Shikigami, the Onmyoji still needs to exhaust spiritual power to maintain the existence of the Shikigami.
As long as Shuiyue Jingxiang's spiritual power was depleted, the Shikigami would naturally vanish.
However, Su Chen had never fought a Shikigami before.
He somewhat underestimated Shuiyue Jingxiang's endurance.
The attack continued for over ten minutes, and the Shikigami showed no sign of disappearing.
On the contrary, the attacks became even more ferocious.
It seemed that to stop the Shikigami's attacks, the only way would be to defeat Shuiyue Jingxiang.
Although Shuiyue Jingxiang was angry, she had not lost her reason.
An Onmyoji's combat power, ninety-nine percent of it comes from the Summoned Shikigami.
Just like when she was captured by the people of that terrible Organization.
Unable to summon her Shikigami, she couldn't even handle a few ordinary Guards.
Therefore, she had already distanced herself from Su Chen.
If Su Chen wanted to get close to her, the Centaur would block him.
Su Chen's eyebrows furrowed.
Since he could not get close to Shuiyue Jingxiang, he decided to take out the Centaur Shikigami first.
Su Chen dodged the spear thrown by the Centaur, quickly charging towards it.
This Centaur was a good two meters tall, a true behemoth.
Seeing Su Chen trying to approach, it no longer threw its spear but instead grasped it and stabbed at Su Chen directly.
The spear held in its hands was evidently more powerful than the spears that were thrown.
The Energy Spear exploded through the air, producing a piercing sonic boom.
Luckily, Su Chen dodged in time, and the spear merely grazed past his scalp.
After dodging the spear's attack, Su Chen reached the side of the Centaur.
Without any hesitation, his fist ferociously bombarded the Centaur.
Thump!
A muffled sound, and the enormous body of the Centaur staggered.
But it did not fall!
Seeing this scene, Shuiyue Jingxiang had a cold sneer on her face.
Although the Centaur Shikigami was a long-range attack type, it didn't mean its body was fragile.
On the contrary, because it fought by throwing Energy Spears, its strength was enormous.
"Damn it!"
Su Chen felt uneasy the moment his fist landed on the Centaur.
It was far more resilient than he had anticipated.
A tingling sensation on the scalp surged through him.
Su Chen knew, the Centaur's spear had arrived.
He immediately raised his katana to block.
Clang!
A loud sound of metal clashing against metal echoed.
Su Chen only felt an overwhelming force transmitted through the katana.
The Centaur's strength was terrifyingly immense.
He almost knelt down from the impact.
His tiger's mouth area even transmitted an intense pain.
The Centaur, seizing the advantage, would not let go, pushing down with the energy spear in its hands.
Su Chen's body involuntarily sank downwards.
The ground beneath his feet cracked open.
To think that he, the mighty Reverse Dragon, would be bullied by a beast.
His gaze immediately darkened, and he let out a low shout.
"Domineering Body!"
His body began to transform.
He grew taller in height, rapidly reaching 2.0 meters.
His hands grew thicker and longer, reaching a length of 88 centimeters, and his legs reached 134 centimeters.
Approaching the perfect combat form!
"Rise for me!"
Su Chen roared angrily, holding the katana with both hands, and he fiercely thrust upwards.
The Centaur couldn't withstand such strength.
Its body was flipped over and tossed aside.
Su Chen stomped on the ground and charged straight towards the Centaur.
Pfft!
The katana in his hands chopped the Centaur's head off directly.
The headless Centaur finally crashed to the ground with a boom.
Then, its body turned into specks of starlight and vanished.
Meanwhile, Shuiyue Jingxiang also spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Her shikigami was linked with her spiritual power.
Due to the flow of Qi, she suffered a serious backlash.
Shuiyue Jingxiang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
This was the first time her shikigami had been defeated.
Su Chen, katana in hand, stood proudly.
"Shuiyue Jingxiang, I broke my promise to you, it was my fault, today I took a hit from your spear, consider it compensation; if you continue to pursue this matter, don't blame me for being impolite," Su Chen said indifferently.
His white shirt had been stained red with blood.
His regenerative ability was strong, but that spear thrust just now was a penetrating wound, piercing a hole straight through his abdomen.
Not so easily healed.
Moreover, after a great battle.
The injury had worsened somewhat.
But Shuiyue Jingxiang was an Onmyoji, all her combat power came from her Shikigami.
Now her Shikigami had all been defeated by Su Chen.
He didn't believe that Shuiyue Jingxiang still had the capability to hold him back.
As for Nishijiu.
Her strength wasn't enough to be considered in Su Chen's presence.
Let alone a samurai ranked number 52 of the Organization, even those ranked higher were no match for Su Chen.
Perhaps only those ranked in the top ten could barely be his adversaries.
"Hahaha!" Yet Shuiyue Jingxiang burst into laughter, a laugh filled with sorrow.
She had dreamed of this day, to encounter Su Chen once again.
Then to inflict her pain upon Su Chen, multiplied a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
But she hadn't expected her Shikigami to be defeated by Su Chen.
Although the Shikigami would not die from this, they could not be summoned again for a short period.
Was she really going to watch helplessly as Su Chen escaped from her sight?
No, she must kill Su Chen, no matter the cost.
A resolute expression suddenly emerged in Shuiyue Jingxiang's eyes.
"Mother, no!" Seemingly guessing what Shuiyue Jingxiang wanted to do, Nishijiu shouted loudly.
