Two pairs
Si Ming was stunned for a moment, then burst into a wild laugh of relief, and didn't forget to give Hongdou a thumbs up, praising, "Well done! The timing was perfect!"
If Hongdou had made her move a round earlier, Netherworld Insect Princess would have had some strength left, and being slashed wouldn't have affected her; she might even have become more alert beforehand.
"Hehe." Hongdou smiled shyly, but quickly puffed out her full chest proudly, "I'll protect Xiao Ming!"
Si Ming let out a long breath, his body trembled, and all the hidden energy in his body was expelled. Tathagata Indestructible Body. Moreover, because he was within the range of the Heavenly Dragon World-Delivering Pagoda, the Tathagata's Tathagata Indestructible Body received a continuous supply of Buddhist Power, and soon the Buddha image hidden in his acupoints became solid again.
"As expected of the Tathagata's Indestructible Body, which no one has yet been able to cultivate successfully, it can actually bridge such a huge gap in Foundation."
An ordinary martial arts genius would need thousands of years of arduous training to Tathagata Indestructible Body the Buddha. Si Ming's sudden enlightenment talent can boost his training speed to the limit, but it still takes him more than ten years to succeed.
He initially thought the cost-effectiveness was low, but now that he has experienced its true power, he can't wait to successfully cultivate it. If he could use it without the aid of the Buddhist array, then the invincible throne would be within reach.
Just as Si Ming was envisioning the future, he heard Si Jingyu's reminder:
"The Azure Mysterious Corpse King is still under control, Netherworld Insect Princess is not dead yet!"
Startled, Si Ming quickly turned his head and saw a head fly high out of the billowing smoke and dust, the Qi of Decline rapidly gathering and reshaping the body.
Before he could even gasp in surprise, he quickly merged with his sword, unleashing the "Fair-Weather Thunder Stirs, the Hibernating Dragon Rises" technique with lightning speed. But just as he arrived, the Netherworld Insect Princess had already restored half of her body and reached out to block the One Sword.
Both were startled and stepped back. By the time the Netherworld Insect Princess regained her footing, she had already recovered completely.
"... As expected, Demon Emperor without super regeneration can't even be considered a BOSS."
At this moment, Si Ming didn't know what to say, so he could only resort to criticizing the Demon Emperor.
I will not repeat the same mistake twice.
"However, it seems your efforts weren't in vain. That attack just now weakened your Foundation. It seems your resurrection wasn't without cost." Si Ming quickly realized this.
"But this is still not enough to bridge the Foundation gap between them."
Si Ming roused himself, shrugged, straightened his back, and said, "Let's go then. It's not like you're the only one good at long battles; I'm pretty good at that too."
Chapter 848 Two Pairs
The group handed the Netherworld Insect Princess over to Si Ming and then approached the King of Monsters, trying to slow him down.
"How should we allocate our combat strength? The female zombie seems to be slightly stronger than the male savage," Shi Yuan asked.
Si Jingyu decisively said, "Leave the Azure Mysterious Corpse King to me and Huaruo. You two can discuss how to deal with the Beast King Anye."
"Oh, little girl, you're so confident?"
That's just how confident I am.
Si Jingyu swiftly opened her fan, this time displaying more characters: one side read "Let the winds and waves rise," and the other "Sit calmly in your fishing boat."
Si Huaruo protested, "I haven't even agreed yet, what are you so confident about?"
Aren't you going to help me?
"If you sincerely ask me, I might consider it."
Si Huaruo blinked, as if urging, "The enemy is right in front of you, if you don't hurry up and beg me, it will be too late."
"Sigh, I always thought we were best friends with an unbreakable bond. Although we've been fighting since we were little, I knew it was just our unique way of communicating. I never said it, but I always believed in you. Even if everyone else in the world betrayed me, you would never betray me. I never imagined it was all just wishful thinking on my part." Si Jingyu lowered her eyes and said in an extremely resentful tone.
"Huh? Huh! Huh--Did you have to pick this time to tell me this?"
Si Huaruo looked caught off guard, twirling a strand of hair in her hand, her eyes darting around as she said, "I actually know about this... but I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud. Actually, I trust you a lot. Even though you can be quite annoying at times, I know you're someone I can rely on in crucial moments. I've always considered you my older sister..."
"Don't forget what you said. I'm entrusting my future to you, my dear sister."
Si Jingyu suddenly increased her speed and headed towards the Azure Mysterious Corpse King.
Si Huaruo was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. Her face flushed red, and she said angrily, "Si! Jing! Yu! You're teasing me again!"
"Ha, you're too naive and easily fooled, making it so easy for you to succeed, which makes me feel no sense of accomplishment."
"You got the benefit and now you're acting innocent, and you even dare to laugh at me!"
Although Si Huaruo was angry, her hands moved swiftly. With one hand forming a hand Law Seals, she drew out the Seven Ingenious Spirit Heart Staff and pointed it forward. Instantly, a blizzard swept across the ground, mixed with ice crystals as sharp as steel saw teeth, heading straight for the Azure Mysterious Corpse King.
The Azure Mysterious Corpse King ignored her, letting the ice crystals rub against her body, scattering sparks in all directions, and struck Si Jingyu, who was charging at the front, with a palm strike.
"The Lingering Lotus Breaking the Waves!"
Si Jingyu pointed to a spot on the ground ahead, where a large amount of water surged upwards like a waterfall flowing backwards, and quickly froze under the influence of the blizzard, forming an ice wall.
The Azure Mysterious Corpse King originally intended to smash through the ice wall in one go, after all, with her physique, she could break through even a real wall of copper and iron. Unexpectedly, she was bounced back, leaving only a spider web-like crack on the ice wall.
Seeing this, Si Jingyu withdrew her hand from the ice wall, pondering that the effect of combining the Mirror Reflection Technique with Divine Arts was better than expected, and that it transferred all the danger to the ice wall, preventing herself from being impacted.
"Dusk Snow and Sunken Shadows Seal Heaven's Gate!"
Knowing the strength of her opponent, Si Huaruo dared not hold back and immediately unleashed her ultimate move. Four tornadoes suddenly rose from the ground, absorbing the previous cold air and ice crystals, and surrounded the Azure Mysterious Corpse King.
The Azure Mysterious Corpse King frowned and unleashed four blood-red palm prints to intercept the ice crystal tornado, blocking its path like reefs in a broken river, making it difficult for the ice crystal tornado to gather.
"Frost Talisman - Chaotic Snow Entwining the Wind!"
Si Jingyu activated her Divine Arts again, and an even stronger cold current swept in from mid-air. The ice crystal tornado suddenly expanded as if it had drunk a powerful tonic, wrapping around the blood-red palm print and freezing it with its cold air, turning it into a blood-red ice sculpture. In the blink of an eye, it converged from all directions, merging into an even more powerful tornado, freezing the Azure Mysterious Corpse King as well, turning it into a hundred-meter-high ice pillar.
However, before they could catch their breath, jagged cracks appeared on the surface of the icicle, and it was corroded, showing signs of melting and flowing with a viscous liquid, making the surface appear blurry.
"Break."
