97: Faith!
Their muscles bulged, and they simultaneously hurled their spears with all their might, intending to viciously pin Shuya to the air.
The spear hurtled towards them with a sharp whistle.
Shuya, glanced at the spear and immediately analyzed the sequence and angle of its attack.
He extended his First Snow, the tip lightly brushing against the spear formation, creating a small gap. His entire body twisted into an uncanny posture as if boneless, and he precisely passed through the spear formation.
After dodging a volley of gunfire, Shuya used his strength to sink his body and land quickly, avoiding another volley of arrows.
He landed quickly, greatly catching the spearmen below off guard. They had just finished a volley of thrusts and were about to raise their spears to thrust straight into the air, hoping to kill Shuya.
But Shuya reacted too quickly and landed too fast. Just as the spearman beneath him raised his spear, Ichika appeared before his eyes, Shuya was crouching on the spear shaft.
Shuya's eyes were calm, but his actions were ruthless.
The next second.
A streak of icy blue light flashed by.
From extreme stillness to extreme speed, First Snow delivered a simple horizontal slash, sending a row of fine heads flying.
Amidst the screams of the ghostly Yin Soldiers, Shuya smashed through their vanishing bodies and shot out, rushing towards the spearmen in front of him who no longer held their spears.
He charged into the midst of dozens of gunners, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.
The next moment, the sword danced like a full moon, and icy blue light soared into the sky, bringing a magnificent death.
"Cool!"
Shuya was caught up in the thrill of the fight. Natural Martial Bone, he had always been a daredevil who craved battle, and today he was enjoying himself immensely.
But at that moment, a dozen dark figures surrounded him, and soldiers raised their weapons and attacked from all directions, slashing and thrusting.
Shuya continuously used his Power of Will to sense the movement, and in an instant, he analyzed the order in which the various weapons were used.
Amidst the crowd, icy blue blades danced wildly, their rapid flashes forming lines that disappeared in an instant, accompanied by a series of crisp clanging sounds.
The clasped weapons were almost simultaneously jolted backward.
Shuya shook the First Snow and was about to unleash a circular slash, but amidst a series of shouts, a group of spearmen leaped into the air from the outer edge of the circular formation of swordsmen, and a sharp forest of spears thrust backwards from the sky!
Shuya twisted his wrist, withdrawing his slash and changing his move on the spot. He circulated his internal energy to its limit, and his whole body overflowed with icy mist.
He reversed the katana and plunged it fiercely into the ground.
Just as the blade and spear tip were about to touch Shuya.
Boom boom boom!
Centered on Shuya, clusters of crystalline ice spikes burst forth from the grass, piercing the circle of Yin Soldiers on the ground and in the sky.
Sharp icicles pierced their bodies and shot high into the air.
Northland New Snow Thousand-Fold Style. Ice Mountain Range!
This is an area-of-effect attack. Shuya still doesn't have enough Qi, otherwise this move wouldn't just produce a ring of ice spikes, but rather a true multi-layered iceberg.
The sudden appearance of the ice spikes also deflected some of the spears thrown by the spearmen.
Shuya's attack wasn't over yet.
At the moment when all the Yin Soldiers were filled with surprise and doubt because their view was blocked.
Suddenly, a "crack" sound came from the icicle.
The ring of icicles was clearly covered with cracks.
The battlefield fell silent.
The next moment.
With a loud bang, the ice spike exploded.
Northland New Snow Thousand-Fold Style. Ice Explosion!
Ice Explosion is a combo skill that can be linked with various ice-attribute attacks.
Numerous ice spikes shot out and exploded, blinding the Yin Soldiers and throwing them into panic.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Ice Explosion, a figure rushed out, like a sharp torrent of ice, leaving trails of icy blue on the ground.
Amidst the ever-receding and shifting scenery, Shuya's gaze remained fixed on the group of archers gathered together.
He ignored the swordsmen and spearmen who were constantly leaving him behind.
He could certainly take the opportunity to kill the enemy, but it wasn't necessary, because he might have to face the Fox God directly afterward, and he couldn't afford to waste his energy.
Shuya passed through the chaotic array of Yin Soldiers in just a few seconds.
The archers behind were still in a daze, Shuya had already fallen to the ground like a shooting star.
The icy blue blade flashed repeatedly, and the archers fell to the ground, clutching their throats, and vanished. Shuya didn't linger in the fight and simply strode away.
The spearmen behind him were still throwing spears, but they could no longer catch up with Shuya.
The process described above may sound complicated, but it actually only takes a few minutes.
One man, one sword, cutting through the enemy lines.
Shuya was very satisfied with his performance in his first battle.
He personally experienced the terrifying power of Natural Martial Bone talent.
Not only in cultivation, but also in combat, they are terrifyingly powerful.
His intuition on the battlefield was terrifying.
He anticipated every move the enemy made.
No matter how complex the plan, it doesn't need calculation; it arises spontaneously from the heart.
He had basically led the enemy by the nose in all their actions.
No wonder Li Shuhong said that Natural Martial Bone usually die young.
This talent can easily give people the illusion that they are very capable, leading them to constantly make foolish mistakes.
Ultimately, their reckless actions succeeded.
After leaving the battlefield, Shuya sped off, chasing after the fleeing Fox Group.
He never forgot the purpose of his trip; he did not come to kill the enemy.
The goal is simply to rescue Rena, and if possible, to also investigate the truth behind what happened back then.
On his pursuit, the Yin Soldiers did not give up. New Yin Soldiers would spawn around him from time to time, but they were either shaken off or killed by him with a single strike.
The Yin Soldiers lost the initiative in the initial battle and could no longer stop Shuya's breakout.
Section 110, Chapter 97: Faith!
By this time, the fox had already carried Rena to the foot of the mountain.
But Shuya was extremely fast and would catch up soon.
By now, Shuya had used up about a third of his internal energy in the battle.
Because they needed to break through as quickly as possible, Shuya had just used elemental attacks.
Especially the Ice Mountain Range move, which consumed the most energy.
Fortunately, he Natural Martial Bone, and his cultivation and recovery speed were also fast.
As he traveled, his internal energy rapidly recovered with each breath.
Just as Shuya was about to catch up with the fox, the foreleg of the leading fox had already stepped onto the stone steps.
The atmosphere in the Divine Domain has changed.
A tremendous heartbeat could be heard coming from the Shrine.
A god opened his eyes.
An ancient aura surged forth, pressing down in all directions.
As the only hostile being in the Divine Domain, Shuya naturally became a target.
A heavy, ancient aura instinctively pressed down on Shuya.
This was not an attack launched by the Fox God against Shuya; it was merely an unconscious reaction, an inherent divine pressure.
In fact, the Fox God was still a bit dazed when he first woke up and hadn't yet noticed Shuya's presence.
He devoted all his attention to Rena.
He ignored everything else.
The divine power, imbued with the aura of time, pressed down on Shuya, rendering him unable to move for the time being.
His once straight back was suddenly bent under the immense force.
A sacred and majestic aura swirled in his mind, generating various illusions that were sometimes solemn and sometimes terrifying, compelling him to kneel and submit to the majesty of the gods.
Shuya's face turned bright red.
But...
Crack! Crack! Crack!
He bore the pressure little by little, and even though his bones were making dangerous cracking noises, he slowly straightened his body.
A martial artist should stand tall and upright!
Shuya always presented himself as gentle, but he harbored a deep-seated pride.
You can kill me, but you can't make me submit!
Even God wouldn't do it!
The fierce aura of a martial artist erupted from his heart, allowing him to withstand the pressure.
The gas seemed about to explode under high-speed rotation.
Shuya's skin was crimson, and his entire body was enveloped in boiling steam.
A burning rage surged into his brain; veins bulged on his forehead as he roared irrationally:
"Who do you think you are to make me kneel!"
Just as he was channeling all his energy and Power of Will to launch a counterattack...
Suddenly.
A divine Divine Light, imbued with a fantastical aura and constantly shifting, rose from Shuya's body, completely blocking the divine power emanating from the Fox God.
"Hmm? This is..."
Shuya a sudden relief from the pressure on his entire body.
He was startled, looking at the divine Divine Light surrounding him, as countless fragments of illusion flooded his brain.
His pupils flickered with light and shadow, countless people and scenes appearing before his eyes...
"That baby voice is so cute..."
"Hey Mom, can I be as amazing as him someday?"
"His acting skills are amazing for such a young age!"
"Have you heard? He had his IQ tested, and he's smarter than most people!"
"He looks so cute in that little suit!"
"Damn it! They're all like Inoue Shuya Inoue Shuya! One day I'll surpass you!"
Countless voices and blurry fragments flashed by.
Among the flying clips, several were particularly clear.
