Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit (3)
Even with the suppression of a domain, it can escape instantly by using its perception of space.
"Kid, do you have a way to lock onto it?" Dugu Bo asked in a deep voice, "Slipping away like this isn't a solution."
Lin Chen didn't speak, but slowly raised his eyes.
The pale blue light in his eyes shone again.
The Void Divine Eye is operating at full power.
This time, he didn't look at the figure or the mirror, but only at the trajectory of the spatial fluctuations.
No matter how fast the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit moves, it will cause ripples in the space around it.
And this slight ripple, under the gaze of the Void Divine Eye, had nowhere to hide.
The figure on the branch moved again.
This time, Lin Chen clearly captured its movement trajectory.
"Master, to the right front!" Lin Chen shouted in a deep voice.
Almost simultaneously, Dugu Bo's poisonous fog had already spread out.
The dark green poisonous fog, like a tidal wave, instantly engulfed the area.
But in the instant the poisonous fog churned, a dark gray afterimage darted out from the edge of the fog and landed lightly on a higher branch.
With a gentle flick of its two tails, wisps of poisonous mist reflected back from the mirror drifted a few inches toward the three of them, carrying a hint of mockery.
"You beast, how dare you play tricks on me!"
Dugu Bo's expression darkened, and a purple-green light suddenly shone from between his brows.
Medusa's Gaze!
With the power of the Soul Bone fully activated, a solid, petrifying beam of light shot out from his eyes, striking the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit squarely. Wherever the light passed, even the snowflakes in the air instantly froze into tiny ice particles.
The Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit reacted extremely quickly; the diamond-shaped crystal on its forehead lit up instantly, and a semi-transparent mirror appeared in front of it.
Click--
The petrifying rays struck the mirror, were mostly refracted, and then struck the tree trunk beside it at an angle. The trunk, as thick as a bowl, instantly petrified, becoming as brittle as weathered stone.
But a small ray of light still managed to seep through the crack in the mirror and brush past its front paws.
The Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit stiffened abruptly, and for the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in its obsidian-like eyes.
Now!
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.
The Void Divine Eye locked onto its target, and the pale blue mark between its brows shone brightly.
Void Mark!
An invisible spatial imprint instantly landed on the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit. Within three breaths, even a thousand layers of mirrors could not conceal its presence.
"Master, trap it for one second!" Lin Chen shouted, his figure instantly blurring.
Third Soul Skill: Void Shift!
Enveloped in spatial power, he ignored the trees and distance in the middle and appeared in mid-air above the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit in the next moment.
Almost simultaneously, the Chaos Prison Suppression Domain was launched.
The dark gray suppressive force descended vertically, locking down the surrounding space.
The Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit had just broken free from petrification and was about to use its spatial power to Teleportation when it found that the space around it was as if it had been cast into iron, so heavy that it could not move.
The power of the domain seeped into its veins along its fur, even dimming the crystal on its forehead.
"Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Formation!" Dugu Bo's voice followed closely behind.
On the ground, countless dark green snake vines burst forth, Entanglement and forming a huge snake net that converged on the center from all directions.
The serpentine vines were covered in a deadly venomous green phosphorescence; wherever they passed, even the snow hissed and emitted black smoke. This was his Fourth Soul Skill, a wide-range trapping and killing technique that locked the enemy's soul in a poisonous array, making escape impossible.
The Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit let out a sharp screech.
The sound was so thin it was like the rubbing of glass, yet so piercing it sent chills down your spine.
It knew it had met its match.
Its two tails thrashed wildly, and countless tiny fragments of mirror surface instantly appeared around it, as it tried to open up the mirror space again to escape.
However, the Chaos Prison Suppression suppressed the space, and the Serpent Emperor Formation sealed off movement. As soon as the mirror fragments appeared, they were pressed down by the power of the domain, making them teeter on the verge of collapse.
Lin Chen hovered in mid-air, pressing down with his right hand to stabilize his domain, while slowly raising his left hand.
Buzz--
A jet-black ancient sword emerged from his palm.
On the blade, dark red patterns glowed from the hilt to the tip, like magma slowly flowing from the ground.
The sword's hilt unfurled its dark wings, the tips of its bone spikes gleaming coldly. The dark red vertical pupil on the sword pommel slowly opened, its scarlet light flickering, and an aura of annihilation poured down the blade.
The surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by the sword blade, leaving only this dark sword light in mid-air, heavy and domineering, as if it could shatter space itself.
"Cut."
Lin Chen uttered a single word softly.
The sword flashed.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only an extremely faint hissing sound—the sound of sword energy tearing through space.
A dozen or so mirrors instantly appeared in front of the Mirror -Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit, layer upon layer, attempting to block the sword strike.
But how could a mirror possibly withstand the destructive power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword?
puff--
The first layer of mirror shattered, then the second, the third...
Like brittle ice, it crumbled layer by layer. The pitch-black sword light was unstoppable, slashing straight down.
Sizzle--
A flash of sword light streaked past.
The wailing of the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit abruptly ceased.
Its body froze on the branch, a fine crack appeared in the diamond-shaped crystal on its forehead, and the light in its obsidian-like eyes quickly dimmed.
The next moment, with a soft thud, it fell from the branch and crashed heavily onto the snow, then fell silent.
The lingering light from the surrounding mirrors vanished completely, and the Serpent Emperor Formation slowly receded.
Only a deep black sword mark remained in the snow, penetrating straight into the ground, the snow at the edge evaporated completely by the sword energy.
Lin Chen landed gracefully and sheathed the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
He looked down at the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit's corpse in the snow. The rhombus-shaped crystal on its forehead had completely cracked, and most of the pale purple mist inside had dissipated. Its two tails lay limply on the snow, and the purple light at their tips had completely extinguished.
"Good lad, your attack was precise and ruthless." Dugu Bo walked over, looking at the sword mark on the ground, his tone full of admiration, "The killing power of this sword strike is something an ordinary Soul Ancestor couldn't withstand. Your Second Martial Soul is truly terrifying the more I look at it."
"Thanks to Master's excellent control," Lin Chen nodded slightly, "Otherwise, if it had been determined to run away, we really wouldn't have been able to stop it."
The spatial manipulation and speed of the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit are indeed rare. If it weren't for Dugu Bo's Medusa Gaze buying him half a breath of time, plus the Void Mark locking him in, even Titled Douluo would have had a hard time catching up if it had actually slipped into the spatial rift.
"Don't be shy, hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring." Dugu Bo waved his hand, "A 63,000-year-old Space System Soul Ring, it fits your path perfectly. Be careful, this Soul Beast's Mental Attribute is not weak, don't let the mirror image disturb your mind."
"Um."
Lin Chen nodded, walked to the corpse, and sat down cross-legged.
He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and began to draw his Soul Ring.
A dark gray Soul Ring slowly rose from the Shattered Mirror Evil Spirit, its body Entanglement with fine, pale purple patterns, like countless fragments of a mirror pieced together, with faint spatial ripples around its edges.
The Soul Ring hovered in mid-air, faintly reflecting the surrounding scenery, creating a bizarre and surreal effect with an eerie and psychedelic feel.
