Forbidden Technique vs. Forbidden Technique (Part Two)
The Ice Barrier was the first time Zhuge Xiang had used this Skill, but as Forbidden Technique that granted invincibility, its effectiveness was undeniable.
Ice Barrier (Mastery Level): Can be used to target any enemy and apply the Ice Barrier effect. The target is immune to all damage, but cannot move. Duration is 9 seconds and costs 800 MP.
If the Ice Barrier is placed on an ally, it's a lifesaver; however, if Skill's placed on an enemy, it becomes an excellent trapping Skill.
Now, in order to buy Zhang Kuang those five breaths, Zhuge Xiang did not hesitate to release the Ice Barrier on Su Huayu.
Visible to the naked eye, a layer of azure light, filled with a chilling aura, enveloped Su Huayu's entire body, instantly rendering her unable to move.
"Kill!" Seeing Zhuge Xiang restrain Su Huayu, the cultivators, Cultivator hundreds of meters tall, were invigorated and attacked with all their might, heading straight for Su Huayu.
Zhuge Xiang ignored these people's futile efforts and instead kept a close eye on Zhang Kuang.
The Blood Sucking Bee, about the size of a palm and shaped like a bee, came up behind Su Huayu. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Kuang slapped the Blood Sucking Bee onto Su Huayu's back. The nine thick Steel Needles on her back had already stopped bleeding.
The Ice Barrier could negate all damage, but these Blood Sucking Bee only sucked a little blood from their target, like a mosquito bite, so it wouldn't cause any harm. At this moment, the Blood Sucking Bee clinging to Su Huayu's back seemed to come alive. Its stinger slowly pierced Su Huayu's skin.
Seeing that the Blood Sucking Bee had succeeded, Yin Wugu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Lingshan and the others, however, stared at Zhuge Xiang in astonishment. They hadn't expected him to possess such a powerful Ice Seal Technique, capable of freezing even someone as strong as him. They would really have to be wary of this move from now on.
"How is this possible? Such a strong defense?" Those who were truly interested were focused on Zhuge Xiang's ability to imprison Su Huayu. But for most Cultivator, what shocked them at this moment was Su Huayu's defensive capabilities, because their attacks landed on Su Huayu without causing her any damage.
The Ice Barrier is a Forbidden Technique involving laws, but to onlookers, it was mistakenly perceived as a powerful Ice Seal Technique by Zhuge Xiang. They didn't believe Zhuge Xiang would enhance Su Huayu's defenses. Therefore, since their attacks failed to harm Su Huayu, they naturally assumed it was due to Su Huayu's inherent defensive capabilities.
"This is... Forbidden Technique!"
Of course, not everyone was unaware that Zhuge Xiang's Ice Barrier was Forbidden Technique; at least, Su Huayu herself sensed it.
Although she couldn't move her body, her eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang. She had long known that Zhuge Xiang's strength was questionable, but she never expected that he would have such Forbidden Technique.
"You think you can imprison me like this?" Su Huayu said, staring at Zhuge Xiang. Although she didn't understand why, the fact that the Blood Sucking Bee were sucking her blood was something Su Huayu found hard to accept.
"Damn it! Zhang Kuang! Retreat!" Although he didn't understand how Su Huayu was going to break through his Ice Barrier, Zhuge Xiang could sense that Zhang Kuang was in danger at this moment.
Retreat!? But only four breaths have passed! The Blood Sucking Bee haven't even finished feeding! Are we going to retreat already? It's almost done! Hearing Zhuge Xiang's shout, Zhang Kuang hesitated slightly. Success was within reach; it would be a real pity to give up now.
Because of Zhang Kuang's momentary hesitation, it was too late for him to retreat. Unbeknownst to him, the blood flowing from the corpses on the ground gathered around Su Huayu, transforming into another Su Huayu who then launched an attack on Zhang Kuang.
Blood Clone are created by manipulating blood to form a physical body that can be used. All of one's power is temporarily poured into the Clone. Although this leaves the True Body without any fighting ability, it is a very useful ability when the True Body is imprisoned, as is the case now.
A flash of black lightning streaked past. Despite Zhang Kuang's rapid retreat, his arm was still struck by the black Lightning amidst the splattering blood. It was charred black and twisted in a bizarre way, making it clear that he would never be able to use his arm again.
"They retreated quickly..." With a flick of her hand, extinguishing the Lightning in her hand, Su Huayu's Blood Clone focused her gaze on Zhuge Xiang.
The Ice Barrier Skill was cast by Zhuge Xiang. Since her True Body was imprisoned by his Forbidden Technique, Su Huayu naturally had to deal with Zhuge Xiang first.
Buzzing...
At that moment, the Blood Sucking Bee, which had been saturated with Su Huayu's blood, took flight and flew towards Yin Wugu.
Su Huayu frowned slightly, flicked her finger, and Qi Energy. Although she didn't understand what purpose Zhuge Xiang and the others had in collecting her blood, she was determined not to let them succeed.
The result was predictable. Although the Blood Sucking Bee was a special Treasure Artifact, it had no offensive or defensive capabilities whatsoever. After being Qi Energy, it suddenly exploded, and fragments of the Treasure Artifact, mixed with Su Huayu's blood, splattered down.
"Ah..." As luck would have it, the falling blood landed squarely on Zhang Kuang's body. Su Huayu's blood, like concentrated sulfuric acid, caused Zhang Kuang's body to hiss and emit a puff of smoke.
"Zhang Kuang..." Zhuge Xiang's expression changed upon seeing Zhang Kuang's miserable state, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you still have time to worry about others? The Zhuge Xiang I know is not such an indecisive person."
A soft voice sounded almost against Zhuge Xiang's back. His pupils contracted, and every hair on Zhuge Xiang's Zhuge Xiang stood on end. A terrifying sense of crisis enveloped him.
"Zhuge Xiang, be careful!" At this moment, Pei Yingxiao and Wu Zhao shouted from the side, but it was too late, because just as they spoke, Su Huayu made her move without any mercy.
"Block Prediction!" Zhuge Xiang couldn't see Su Huayu's attack from behind, so he could only rely on Block Prediction, Skill that allowed him to actively control his body.
As expected, as Zhuge Xiang unleashed his Block Prediction Skill, his body moved automatically. With a backhand swing, the Sword of Judgment blocked Su Huayu's attack at an incredible angle. The Nine Nether Blood Flame burning in his slender hand were blocked...
"Impossible!" Su Huayu's eyes widened as she repeatedly withstood her attacks.
The Indestructible Vajra Body, the Ice Barrier, along with Block Prediction, and Knockback —these Skills, one after another, had already greatly shocked Su Huayu.
"Palm Thunder!" After blocking Su Huayu's attack, Zhuge Xiang's attack was decisive. The azure Lightning slammed down on Su Huayu's body, much to her astonishment.
Splash...
His physical body was shattered; Zhuge Xiang, wielding Thunderclap, had completely torn Su Huayu's body apart.
Zhuge Xiang actually killed Su Huayu?
How could that be? Because Zhuge Xiang did not receive any experience boost from the system. The duration of the Ice Barrier had expired, so Su Huayu simply deactivated the Blood Clone ability.
"Ah..." The Zhang Kuang screams continued beside him. His Asura True Body was melting rapidly, like a snowman encountering the sun, becoming unrecognizable.
"Kill!" At this moment, the rescue team, including Yin Wugu, Lin Haiyan, and Tian Lingshan, finally arrived.
Yin Wugu's Buddhist Demonic Art, Lin Haiyan and Gu Siqi's Asura Sect Cultivation Technique, Tian Lingshan's Tiandao Sect abilities, Chen Wuming's Heaven-Shaking Sword Qi, Wu Zhao's Overlord Spear, Ying Wulin's terrifying Poison Arts, and Pei Yingxiao's chilling Swordsmanship.
"Zhang Kuang, how are you feeling?" Zhuge Xiang asked anxiously as he watched Zhang Kuang's body begin to melt like a snowman.
"Ah..." Zhang Kuang had no time to answer Zhuge Xiang's words. His body was melting. In such pain, how could he concentrate and communicate with Zhuge Xiang? Zhang Kuang's miserable appearance horrified the hundreds of disciples around him, who dared not step forward.
Why were these Cultivator attacking with their lives on the line? Wasn't it all for Su Huayu's blood, which would grant them Demonic True Body?
But now, looking at their Zhang Kuang miserable state, how could they possibly be capable of obtaining the Demonic True Body? Coupled with the invincible power displayed by Su Huayu, these Cultivators have truly lost the courage to continue fighting.
As Zhang Kuang's body melted away to the point where his features were almost indistinguishable, and his HP dropped from over four thousand to just a few hundred, Zhuge Xiang was about to disregard everything and activate the power of the Sword of Judgment to bring his HP back when Zhang Kuang's body underwent a new change.
With Red-Haired Crimson-Eyed, Green-Faced Fangs, and fangs, he looked exactly like Asura True Body. However, on his Zhang Kuang forehead, one could see veins wriggling like earthworms, and his Asura Claw had become even wider. Moreover, Zhang Kuang, who was originally muscular and robust, had become thin and bony.
Above Zhang Kuang's head, his HP were rapidly recovering, and his previous shrill screams gradually subsided. Regardless, seeing Zhang Kuang's HP recover, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he should be alright.
Splash...
On Zhang Kuang's back, a large bulge appeared, as if something was inside. Then, his clothes burst open, revealing a pair of dark brown Bat Wings. At this moment, Asura Zhang Kuang's appearance had changed drastically. He looked neither like Asura nor like Demonic True Body.
"Zhang Kuang (Golden Boss): Demonic Asura Body, Tenth Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm, possesses Skill Asura Destruction Spear Art, Poison Dragon Drill, Horse-Turning Spear, Spear Intent. Note: He has gained the recognition of the Asura Path Will and possesses the Asura True Body, but has also been infected by the Blood Demon Essence Blood, causing his bloodline to mutate and his state to be unstable."
Zhuge Xiang was both happy and worried about Zhang Kuang's information. He was happy that Zhang Kuang was alright and had actually benefited from the misfortune. Like the Demonized Asura, his strength had soared to the Tenth Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm, and his evaluation had reached the level of Golden Boss.
However, You's bloodline mutated, and his condition became unstable. Given the precedent of the Asura's self -Self-Detonation, Zhang Kuang's current bloodline is like a ticking time bomb. (To be continued...)
