Researching the Ice Bone Technique; the Three Zhongli Brothers
"Huh?"
As if atop an ancient tree in the clouds, Zhongli Wu, clad in a long black robe, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a hint of surprise, "That kid came in..."
He never expected that this kid would stumble upon the perfect trap they had set for the Auspicious Beast beast.
"Since that's the case, then we can't let him live." Zhongli Wu's face turned cold, and he said calmly, "Zhongli Tian, Di, and Ren, the three of you go and eliminate this threat. Make it quick; the Auspicious Beast will be out soon..."
"Yes!"
A man in black robes bowed slightly behind them, revealing a dark, aged face with a somewhat eerie smile, before leading the two men away.
There were no unnecessary words. After all, in their eyes, dealing with a young child at the Soul King realm was no different from killing a chicken. Sending the three brothers was already giving them plenty of face.
Ye Guyi hands clenched slightly, her expression calm, but her gaze remained fixed on the young man.
She believed that with her master's strength, he was definitely not as simple as he appeared. However, these three Old Ghost Zhongli, were the real culprits who slaughtered her family. They were all at the peak of the Soul Douluo realm and were also Evil Soul Master. Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would have to be wary of them if they joined forces.
if...
Fine, at worst, when Master can't hold on any longer, she can ask Zhongli Wu to spare his life. Although they can meet earlier, it's not impossible for her to take Lu Cheng as her sugar daddy.
"..."
"Someone's here."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from the Sea of Consciousness. Its forehead glowed with a faint golden light, and its vast and boundless Spiritual Power swept across an area of dozens of miles, even "scanning" out Zhongli Wu and the others who were furthest away.
The three figures that drifted toward Lu Cheng were particularly eye-catching.
"The Three Zhongli Ghosts."
Lu Cheng chuckled lightly; they were old acquaintances after all.
"No problem. They're just three Soul Douluo. With my newly developed Ice Bone Explosion, sacrificing a Bone Dragon will be enough to blast them to pieces." Electrolux's gentle voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.
"Okay." Lu Cheng nodded.
He dared to risk setting foot here because of Elder Yi's guarantee that he could easily break this so-called formation.
The confidence stemmed from the "Ice Bone Explosion" that Electrolux had recently developed using the Ice Explosion Technique. After all, the principle of Corpse Explosion was to convert every inch of flesh and bone of the corpse into Soul Power and detonate it. The principle of the Ice Explosion Technique was an advanced version of Corpse Explosion... Ice Seal the corpse, and when it exploded, it not only carried the corpse's strength in life, but also the frost as an auxiliary attack.
Ice Bone Explosion involves attaching ice to the bones of the undead and then detonating it. Unlike a regular Ice Explosion Technique, these ice-covered undead bones... move.
In the original work, Huo Gua's Ice Explosion Technique was indeed intimidating, but that was based on the enemy stepping into a pre-set "trap". The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was blasted was near the Ice Seal corpse of the "Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast" when Huo Gua detonated it, causing tons of damage.
This can be interpreted as the Death Messenger so powerful that he can control corpses to "come back to life," pounce on the enemy, and launch a self-destruction.
That's a bit scary.
After all, when a massive Bone Dragon charges at you at incredible speed and unleashes a power equivalent to its own total strength, it's more than just an explosion...
It is art.
Lu Cheng smiled. He had finally met these guys in the real world, but... he hoped they would accept his generous gift.
"Kid, blame your bad luck."
Zhongli Ren arrived first, letting out a sinister, cacophony laugh. His eyes were like a cat toying with a mouse, as if he intended to play a trick on him.
But he was stopped by the more composed Zhongli Tian.
"A swift and decisive victory."
"Yes, elder brother." Zhongli Ren shook his head helplessly, brandishing his long staff. A black leopard spirit emerged from it, its skin surrounded by faint, eerie green light. It moved through the air without leaving a trace, silently rushing towards Lu Cheng.
This vengeful spirit had a cultivation of 40,000 years in its previous life, which was more than enough to deal with a mere Soul King.
It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. If it weren't for his elder brother and the cult leader urging him, he wouldn't be so impatient. Instead, he would have toyed with his prey. He loves giving his prey a glimmer of hope before crushing it, watching the despair in their eyes.
"The Netherworld Cheetah..."
Lu Cheng remained calm as he drew his bow and nocked an arrow. His left eye slowly closed, and in the next instant, a sharp, fiery red arrow roared out, trailing a fiery tail. The fierce, scorching flames engulfed the surrounding trees, instantly turning them into charcoal.
"Roar!!!"
The speed was so fast that even the Netherworld Black Panther, known for its phantom-like abilities, didn't have time to react before the crimson flame pierced through its waist and pinned it to an ancient tree trunk, emitting a painful howl.
The crimson flames scorched its soul form.
This made his figure appear somewhat somber.
"..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Several pairs of eyes, some surprised and some astonished, fell on the boy holding the fire bow.
"Huh?" Zhongli Wu raised an eyebrow, showing some interest, but still did not personally participate. With his Level 98 strength, it would be beneath him to deal with a mere kid.
But this talent truly surprised him.
That's a bit too freakish.
Ye Guyi also breathed a sigh of relief. A different kind of light appeared in his golden eyes beneath the black cloak. As expected of his master, even without the Blazing Angel Martial Soul, he was still powerful.
Moreover, based on her earlier deduction, even if she were a being of both divine and demonic nature, with her Twin Martial Souls, catching that arrow would likely be quite difficult for her.
This arrow was swift and decisive, crushing the Netherworld Black Panther with overwhelming force. Its effectiveness was so remarkable that it was almost terrifying to watch. Those in the know would understand just how terrifying the oppressive force of this arrow was.
There's no way to avoid it.
Unlike Zhongli Wu and the others who were surprised, the Three Zhongli Brothers were both shocked and furious. In front of a group of experts in the sect, they had been thoroughly outmaneuvered by this kid, and they were naturally embarrassed. At the same time, they were also secretly amazed by the power of this kid's arrow.
Although the third brother was careless and didn't use his full strength, that Netherworld Black Panther was definitely not weak.
"Don't underestimate them, go all out!"
Zhongli Tian frowned slightly, his eyes gradually becoming serious. He gave a soft shout, and the three staffs pressed together, gradually brightening with dark light. At the same time, hundreds of wronged souls imprisoned within were released, including Soul Master and Soul Beast. After receiving a boost from Zhongli and the other two, the wronged souls frantically pounced on Lu Cheng's figure.
"Bone Dragon!"
Lu Cheng curled his lips into a smile, and the dark pentagram array beneath his feet flickered, instantly expanding dozens of times. A dark pillar of light rose up, yet it was exceptionally quiet, as deep as death, within the array.
First, two withered black Bone Dragon Claw emerged, tearing the entire void apart. Then, the head of an extremely terrifying Bone Dragon was revealed, with eerie blue lights flickering in its eye sockets. Its sheer size shocked everyone present.
Especially the Zhongli Wu.
You must understand, he risked his life countless times to obtain a bone-melting true dragon from a secret realm, but even that was only a mere hundred meters long. But this Bone Dragon...
