Chapter 402 Skinny as Lightning (Page 12)
The moment Wu Xiangnan's fingertips touched the silver sphere, its originally hard surface softened instantly, flowing like mercury and seeping into his body through his skin!
"What—?!" He tried to pull his hand back, but it was too late.
The silvery liquid, as if alive, spread rapidly along his veins, flowing throughout his body in the blink of an eye. Wu Xiangnan's pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented power erupted within him—
Muscle fibers are remodeling, bone density is increasing, and it's as if liquid starlight is flowing in the blood!
His five senses were instantly amplified several times over. He could hear the sound of his blood surging, see every speck of dust floating in the air, and even sense the mysterious fluctuations of the surrounding atmosphere!
"Wu Xiangnan!" the knight shouted, drawing his rapier, the blade aimed directly at his wrist. "Cut it off!"
But it's too late.
The last drop of silver liquid completely merged into Wu Xiangnan's body, and faint silver patterns appeared on his skin, like some kind of ancient rune, which disappeared in an instant.
And that silver sphere—
Disappeared.
"boom--!!!"
The entire ruins trembled violently, as if some kind of balance had been broken.
Cracks instantly spread across the surface of the stone statues surrounding the two, and pieces of stone crumbled away, revealing the mystery sealed within!
"Crack! Click!"
The sound of the stone shattering echoed, and pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness, filled with rage and murderous intent!
"Roar--!!!"
The first to break free was a masked warrior, its body covered in bluish-black scales, fangs bared, and its rusty longsword pointed directly at Wu Xiangnan: "Thief! Come on!!!"
Immediately afterwards, the nine-tailed fox woman broke free from the stone shell, her nine tails burning like flames, her voice sharp and piercing: "The power of chaos... how dare you meddle with the power of chaos!"
More mysteries awaken from the stone statues—serpentine monsters, one-eyed giants, two-headed wolf demons… their goal is singular—
Wu Xiangnan!
"Run!" The knight grabbed Wu Xiangnan's arm, and with a sweep of his rapier, the golden sword light forced back the oncoming masked warrior.
Wu Xiangnan was still in a daze from the sudden surge of power when the knight pulled him back to his senses: "What's going on?!"
"You stole their things!" the knight's voice was icy. "Now they'll tear you apart!"
Before he could finish speaking, the nine-tailed fox woman's tail lashed out like a whip. The knight swung his sword to block, but was forced back several steps by the enormous impact!
Wu Xiangnan gritted his teeth and drew his short sword to meet the attack. His movements were several times faster than before, the blade slicing through the air and leaving a trail of silver afterimages!
"Pfft!"
The dagger pierced the throat of a two-headed wolf demon, blood spurting out, but the wolf demon's other head grinned and bit at his shoulder!
"Get out of my way!" Wu Xiangnan roared, his silver energy erupting as he smashed the wolf demon's head with a single punch!
However, more mysteries surged forth, attacking frantically, completely disregarding their own injuries, as if they had fallen into some kind of madness!
The knight's sword light swept across like a storm, but there were simply too many of them. His breathing became increasingly rapid: "Wu Xiangnan, can you control that power?!"
Wu Xiangnan was panting heavily, the silver energy within his body was surging wildly, bringing power but also an indescribable restlessness.
Distorted hallucinations began to appear at the edge of his vision—
Blood-red sky, shattered city, countless kneeling figures...
"I... something's not right..." He covered his forehead, and the silver lines reappeared, this time without fading.
The knight caught a glimpse of the silver light in his eyes and his heart sank: "The power of chaos is eroding your consciousness! Steady your mind!"
But it was too late.
Wu Xiangnan's pupils turned completely silver, and a ferocious smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "They... are very noisy..."
The next second, his figure flashed out like a ghost, his short sword flashed a silver arc, and three mysterious heads flew up at the same time!
"Kill them all... that would be enough..."
The knight looked at the out-of-control Wu Xiangnan, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He bit his finger hard, smearing the blood on the seven gems on the sword: "Holy Covenant: Chains of Imprisonment!"
Seven golden chains shot out from the sword's edge, binding Wu Xiangnan's limbs!
"Wake up!" the knight roared. "You are being assimilated by chaos!"
Wu Xiangnan struggled, the silver energy clashing with the chains, sparks flying. His voice became hoarse and inhuman: "Let go...I...I can...kill them all..."
The knight didn't loosen his grip; instead, he tightened the restraint: "Listen! The power of chaos will devour your soul! Think of the Night's Watch! Think of your comrades!"
“Companion…” A faint silver light flickered in Wu Xiangnan’s eyes, as if he had a moment of clarity.
Just then, the masked samurai thrust his long sword at the knight from behind!
"Pfft!"
The blade pierced the knight's shoulder, and blood splattered on Wu Xiangnan's face.
Warm, bright red.
Wu Xiangnan's pupils suddenly contracted: "Knight...soldier..."
That single drop of blood seemed to shatter the allure of chaos.
The silver glint in Wu Xiangnan's eyes faded, replaced by shock and guilt: "What...did I do..."
The knight, enduring the pain, pulled the longsword from his shoulder, his voice weak but firm: "Now...can you control yourself?"
Wu Xiangnan nodded heavily. The silver energy within his body was still surging, but his consciousness had returned.
"Help me... gain ten seconds," he whispered.
Without asking any questions, the knight turned to face the oncoming mystery, his sword light forming a wall, forcefully blocking all attacks!
Wu Xiangnan sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra, attempting to guide the chaotic power within his body.
Silver lines flowed across his skin, gradually converging at his chest to form a stable vortex.
"Roar--!!!"
The mysteries sensed something was wrong and charged forward even more frantically!
The knight's sword began to crack, and blood stained his white robes, but he refused to budge: "Faster!"
...
the other side.
"boom--!!!"
The entire ruins trembled violently, as if some ancient seal had been completely torn apart.
As soon as Lin Qiye and the others stepped into this area, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, sending countless fragments of stone flying into the air!
"Watch out!" Lin Qiye shouted sharply, and the [Mortal Divine Realm] instantly unfolded, enveloping everyone in a silver light screen that blocked the flying debris.
However, something even more terrifying happened—
"Crack! Click!"
Cracks quickly spread across the surface of the surrounding stone statues, and the sound of stones peeling off was as dense as a torrential rain.
The stone statues that were originally still began to twist and writhe, as if monsters that had been sleeping for thousands of years were breaking free from their stone shells!
"Roar--!!!"
The first statue shattered completely, and a blue-faced, fanged demon warrior roared as it charged out, its rusty blade pointed directly at the crowd! Then came the second, the third…
The nine-tailed fox woman flicked her burning tail, the serpentine monster flicked its scarlet tongue, and the one-eyed giant pounded its chest and roared in battle...
In the blink of an eye, dozens of mysterious creatures emerged from the stone statues, their scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Qiye and his group!
"This stone statue... is filled with mystery?!"
“And… they’re all alive!” Garan’s gauntlets glowed with golden light, the power of [Immortal] poised to be unleashed.
Zhang Yun, carrying the God-Slaying Spear, grinned and said, "This is going to be interesting."
"kill!"
At Lin Qiye's command, everyone rushed into the battlefield!
"Shh-!"
Lin Qiye's straight sword sliced through the air, the silver blade light slashing towards the Oni Warrior like a meteor!
The demon warrior raised his sword to parry, but the sword light suddenly became ethereal, piercing through the defense and slashing into its neck!
"Pfft!"
The Oni Samurai's head flew off, but strangely, no blood spurted from the severed neck. Instead, black mist surged out, and after the head hit the ground, it rolled back to the body, attempting to reassemble itself!
"Undying attribute?!" Lin Qiye's pupils shrank.
"Let me do it!" Garan stepped forward, his fist wreathed in [Immortal] golden flames slamming into the Oni Warrior's chest!
"boom--!"
The golden flames instantly engulfed the black mist, and the Oni Warrior's body turned to ashes amidst screams!
On the other side, Zhang Yun's God-Slaying Spear moved like a dragon, the blood dragon pattern on the tip of the spear awakening, tearing apart a mysterious creature with every strike!
"Hahaha! That was exhilarating!" He laughed loudly, piercing through the two heads of the two-headed wolf demon with a single shot. The spear vibrated, and the wolf demon's body exploded!
Haruki Amamiya's [Rain Collapse] transforms into a continuous barrage of blades; wherever the blades pass, mysterious creatures fall like wheat being harvested!
However, there are far too many mysterious creatures, and each one possesses a bizarre regenerative ability, capable of rapidly reassembling even when shattered!
Lin Qiye forced the nine-tailed fox woman back with a single slash, then rushed toward a shattered stone statue base, where he indeed saw a blood-red rune engraved on it!
"Destroy the runes!" he shouted, thrusting his blade straight at the runes!
"Crack!"
The moment the rune shattered, the three mysterious figures that were rebuilding nearby suddenly froze, then turned into black mist and dissipated!
"efficient!"
However, the mysteries seemed to sense the crisis and their attacks became even more frenzied!
"Humans... damn it!!!" the nine-tailed fox woman shrieked, her nine tails lashing out at Lin Qiye like fiery whips!
Lin Qiye swung his sword to block, but was forced back several steps by the enormous impact, his tiger's mouth cracked!
"Watch out!" Haruki Amamiya's [Rain Collapse] severed two fox tails in time, but more tails wrapped around it!
"boom--!"
Garan's golden fist shattered half of the fox girl's body, but it quickly regenerated amidst the surging black mist!
"This is never going to end!" Zhang Yun swept the one-eyed giant monster away with a single shot, then spat in annoyance, "Can't these things be killed?!"
The moment Lin Qiye clasped his hands together, silver starlight surged out like a tide!
"【Mortal Realm of Gods】—Expand!"
The air in the entire ruins suddenly froze, and all the mysterious figures that were fighting stopped, as if they were entangled in an invisible swamp.
The Oni Samurai's blade hovered in mid-air, the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman's fiery tail stiffened like iron, and even the dust flying in the air froze for a moment.
"Now!" Lin Qiye's voice echoed within the domain.
"Hahaha! My turn!!!"
Zhang Yun laughed loudly and swung the God-Slaying Spear. The blood dragon pattern on the spear was fully awakened, and a sweeping blow sent five mysterious figures flying!
The demon warrior who was grazed by the spearhead vaporized instantly, and the nine-tailed fox woman's three tails were severed at the root.
Where the spear tip passed, it left a blood-red crack in the air that lingered for a long time—proof that space had been violently torn apart!
"Don't linger!" Haruki Amamiya unleashed a curtain of water with his [Rain Collapse], temporarily blocking the serpentine monster lunging from the right. "Find the statue according to the prophecy!"
Lin Qiye turned to look at Wei Dong, who was wrapped in bandages: "Where is the Jorogumo statue?"
Wei Dong struggled to peek his head out from under the mummy's bandages:
"Go past the main altar! There's a side hall behind it!" He suddenly widened his eyes. "Watch out for what's above you!"
"Shh-!"
An Qingyu's scalpel pierced precisely through the one-eyed giant demon that fell from the sky, and she calmly added, "The statue's right hand should be holding a silver ball, and there is a hidden compartment in the base."
