Chapter 552: Chapter 300: Battle with the Shaking Light Saintess
The Shaking Light Saintess, seeing this, dared not act carelessly. She activated her White Lotus Scattering Technique for defense. A pure white lotus bloomed above her head, and its petals flew out, transforming into sharp, fierce attacks that collided with Gu Sheng’s Sword Qi.
The two immense forces tore at each other, creating deafening blasts. She then struck out a shield of soft white armor to block the golden palm and golden fist.
The two engaged in an intense battle on the glacier, each collision shaking the heavens and earth with a thunderous roar.
Gu Sheng fought more courageously with every moment, continuously activating his cultivation techniques for attacks, each strike carrying immense power.
The Shaking Light Saintess was equally unyielding, relying on her advanced cultivation and powerful techniques to battle Gu Sheng to a standstill.
The fight entered a fever pitch as both sides exchanged moves, deploying their ultimate skills to try and defeat the other.
But suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!
When the two collided once more, the Shaking Light Saintess suddenly shouted, "White Lotus Bloom!"
As her voice rang out, an even larger white lotus bloomed above her head.
The petals flew out, transforming into countless devastatingly sharp attacks that swept toward Gu Sheng. Each attack was capable of causing severe injury!
Gu Sheng was stunned, his heart sinking as he realized the Shaking Light Saintess still had such a powerful trump card!
Seeing the petals’ attacks about to hit him, he quickly activated his Shadow Concealment Skill to evade while summoning the Jade Maiden Sword and Thirsty Blood Battle Axe for defense.
Still, despite his efforts, several petal attacks struck his body, causing a thin trail of blood to drip from the corner of his mouth.
His figure flew backward and crashed heavily onto the icy surface, sliding over ten meters before coming to a halt.
He looked utterly disheveled, and his heart churned with turbulent waves. "So this is the power of the Sea Floor Realm’s Second Layer Heaven? Truly unmatched strength!"
Meanwhile, the Shaking Light Saintess wasn’t in perfect condition either. Though she had pushed back Gu Sheng, she had expended a significant amount of spiritual power.
Furthermore, she noticed Gu Sheng hadn’t sustained severe injuries, making her even more vigilant. "This young man is truly extraordinary! I can’t underestimate him!"
Deciding she needed harsher methods to deal with Gu Sheng, she instantly flashed her figure to appear before him and struck out with a palm. An extraordinarily sharp gust instantly enveloped Gu Sheng. "Let’s see how you withstand this strike!"
Yet at this moment, another turn of events unfolded!
Lying motionless on the ground, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, emanating two beams of light.
In the next instant, he slapped the ground fiercely and sprang up like a coiled spring, narrowly avoiding the Shaking Light Saintess’s lethal strike.
Simultaneously, he swung his hand, releasing the Green Vines Demon Soul. "Go!"
With his command, the Green Vines Demon Soul transformed into strands of green vines, lunging toward the Shaking Light Saintess.
Each vine was imbued with an intensely corrosive aura. If entangled, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The Shaking Light Saintess’s expression changed dramatically as she hastily activated her spiritual power for defense—but it was already too late!
Several vines breached her defenses, directly binding her body. "Ah!" she cried out in surprise, struggling frantically—but it was no use.
Those vines began frenziedly corroding her body.
"Gu Sheng, let me go, and I’ll agree to anything you ask!" The Shaking Light Saintess’s eyes gleamed with sudden inspiration, her gaze sultry, her tone meaningful.
Battle-hardened and experienced, Gu Sheng was not so easily fooled. He allowed the Green Vines Demon Soul to continue its corrosion.
"Szzzz..."
The sound of intense corrosion filled the air, horrifying to behold. The previously arrogant and insurmountable Shaking Light Saintess trembled in fear, pleading incessantly.
The crimson glow from the Green Vines Demon Soul radiated eerily, to Gu Sheng appearing both breathtakingly beautiful and captivating.
The Shaking Light Saintess lowered her pride, throwing out bait after bait, yet Gu Sheng remained utterly unmoved.
It was only when the final fragment of divine light on her body was completely corroded away that Gu Sheng finally withdrew the vines.
At that moment, the Shaking Light Saintess suddenly activated her White Lotus Scattering Technique again, and enormous lotus petals swept toward Gu Sheng in an overwhelming wave.
In the icefield, the cold wind slashed like blades yet couldn’t cut through the fervent atmosphere generated by the intense battle. Gu
Sheng, a youth in the Fourth Level of the Marrow Refining Realm, had eyes aflame with unyielding resolve. His Ancient Sacred Body radiated with flowing golden light, appearing even more miraculous in its divinity.
"Shaking Light Saintess, your White Lotus Scattering Technique is impressive, but if you think you can make me, Gu Sheng, surrender, it seems you’re still lacking!" Gu Sheng shouted, his golden palm striking outward to clash directly against the lotus petals.
The Shaking Light Saintess, graceful as fresh snow, had her countenance highlighted by the cold glow of the lotus, making her appear even more noble and mysterious. She gently smiled, her voice smooth as spring water: "Oh? Is that so? Gu Sheng, do you know that the gap between us is not small in the slightest?"
As she spoke, her figure shifted unpredictably, like a white lotus dancing in the wind, yet her attacks grew even fiercer. The petals transformed into countless sharp blades, densely packed and surging toward Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed sharply, his figure moving like the wind as he unleashed Gale Nine Swords. Nine streaks of sword light crossed and intertwined in the air, forming a densely woven sword net that intercepted the onslaught of lotus blades.
"Excellent swordsmanship!" the Shaking Light Saintess praised without pausing, her figure flashing and disappearing again.
Gu Sheng inwardly exclaimed in alarm and urgently activated his Shadow Concealment Skill, disappearing into the air. He recognized her incredible speed—any lapse in vigilance could lead him to ruin.
