Chapter 496 Slaying Nirvana Creatures
The bizarre creature's neck was struck by the Phoenix Blade Qi, twisting into a strange angle as if it had been broken.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But the next second, the creature's neck twisted back into place, its grotesque fly-like eyes resembling countless hexagonal little mirrors that reflected the figures of several people.
"Here it comes, stick to the plan," Wei Changqing shouted loudly.
No sooner had Wei Changqing's voice faded than the seven of them stood frozen as if in a still frame, maintaining various poses without movement.
The bizarre creature, too, halted in place, only its compound eyes, made up of countless little ones, glinting like facets on a gemstone with an eerie glow.
Upon seeing this, Lin Shen and Wei Wufu exerted their full strength to continue sawing the tree roots.
The reason Wei Changqing had instructed them not to join the battle was precisely because of this strange compound eye skill possessed by the creature.
Even if Lin Shen and Wei Wufu joined the fight, once they entered the range of its skill, it was as if their souls were siphoned away, rendering even the strongest abilities useless, for this was no longer a physical battle.
Using skills that weaken the body became meaningless against the bizarre creature.
At this moment, it was as if they were fighting the creature's soul with their own in a spiritual state, and physical weakening had no impact on the outcome of this battle.
All the two could do was hasten their work to sever all the tree roots and wait for the soul battle to end.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell quiet. Lin Shen sawed desperately, and Elder Wei chopped with all his might as they broke through the sturdy tree roots one after another.
Suddenly, Lin Shen and Wei Wufu both looked up, their gazes fixed in the direction of the foot of the mountain: a blue shadow was speeding up from the base of the mountain.
"Nirvana Creatures!" the two exclaimed, standing up quickly and gripping their weapons tightly.
The blue-crowned creature, with a head full of eyes, rushed up to the middle of the mountain and leapt onto the log, its eerie eyes fixing on them.
Suddenly, the blue-crowned creature's mouth opened wide, spewing blue flames like a flamethrower, shooting towards the two.
Lin Shen and Wei Wufu dodged the blue flames to the left and right, also activating their skills.
Lin Shen pulled out his folding fan, flicked his wrist, opening the fan, and mysterious light patterns rained down on the blue-crowned creature like falling stars.
The Mutated Jade Linglong simultaneously activated the Suppressing Mountains and Rivers Skill, sending ripples surging toward the blue-crowned creature.
Wei Wufu's white robe fluttered as an invisible aura spread out from him.
The blue flames on the blue-crowned creature burned wildly, but were unable to withstand these skills.
The Mysterious Light Pattern and the Suppressing Mountains and Rivers stamp branded themselves on the blue-crowned creature at almost the same time, only this time there were two different forms of light patterns.
One light pattern shone brightly while the other, like a dark emblem, branded itself onto the body of the blue-crowned creature.
The Power of Nirvana on the blue-crowned creature dramatically weakened, and the burning blue flames, now like a turned-down stove, became much less intense.
Lin Shen swung the Stubborn Lone Will Gauntlets, wave after wave of Fist Power relentlessly flooding toward the blue-crowned creature.
The blue-crowned creature lashed out its claws covered in blue light, attempting to tear apart Lin Shen's Fist Power.
After successive weakenings, the blue-crowned creature's powerful Power of Nirvana still tore through three layers of Fist Power, but its remaining force was no longer sufficient to injure Lin Shen.
Wei Wufu leaped high into the air, his Evil Ghost Blade slashing down toward the blue-capped creature. The blue-capped creature didn't have time to look up and spew flames again; beams of blue light shot from the eyes on top of its head, colliding with the Evil Ghost Blade, instantly exploding and producing a terrifying shockwave.
Wei Wufu was sent flying by the blast, flipping over to land behind the blue-capped creature.
Lin Shen stepped forward forcefully, his Fist Power rising like towering waves, one after another, while on the other side, Wei Wufu, brandishing the Evil Ghost Blade, furiously hacked at the blue-capped creature from all directions.
Facing two opponents, the blue-capped creature seemed to struggle to keep up, giving off a sensation of being unable to defend itself.
In just a moment, it was hit by Lin Shen's sneakily out-of-rhythm Finger Sand on an acupoint, and its body instantly stiffened.
Seizing the opportunity, Wei Wufu's Evil Ghost Blade mercilessly chopped at the creature's neck, causing its body to stagger.
This time, Lin Shen's Surfing Fist also roared forth, blasting the blue-capped creature's head towards Wei Wufu's side.
The blue-capped creature was like a punching bag between the two men, being battered back and forth.
The Evil Ghost Blade sliced horizontally and chopped vertically, cutting into the blue-capped creature's body. Lin Shen's ruthlessly pounding Surfing Fist constantly bombarded it.
Under their tempestuous assault, the blue-capped creature barely had the strength to counterattack. More and more wounds appeared on its body, and its blue, Crystal Jade-like surface was now covered with dents and cracks.
"Wei, Qixin," Lin Shen shouted loudly.
Hearing him, Wei Wufu reversed the Evil Ghost Blade and implanted it in the log, pulling out the Qixin Wooden Fish and starting to strike it, while singing, "The sky is vast, the field is wide, for in my life I've been wildly prideful..."
The white robe stirred, and the heroic singing, as if accompanied by a bass cannon's effect, resonated with the sound of the wooden fish, impacting Lin Shen's soul, sending shivers down his spine and causing the Strength inside his body to become restless.
Lin Shen erupted with full power, unleashing the Surfing Quadruple Strike, a wave of Fist Power surpassing the next, accompanied by the demonic music and singing, slamming into the cracked and dented mushroom cap of the blue-capped creature.
Bang!
The blue-cap along with its head was blasted into pieces by Lin Shen's punch, with blue Nirvana Fluid spraying out.
The cadaver of the Nirvana Creature collapsed, and both Lin Shen and Wei Wufu looked at the body on the ground, somewhat disbelieving that they had so easily killed a Nirvana Creature, which didn't even have a chance to use its Life Base.
Without time to think further, they grabbed their weapons and continued to tackle the roots.
One by one, the roots were broken by the two of them, and less and less of them were embedded in the mountain.
Wei Changqing and the others standing on the log remained motionless, as did the Bizarre Creature.
After more than two hours, every root that had penetrated the mountain was broken by the two men.
Lin Shen felt as though his arms no longer belonged to him, and Wei Wufu wasn't in much better shape, his hand shaking as he clutched the Evil Ghost Blade.
"Push." Wei Wufu jumped onto the mountain, trying to push the log with his hands, but with his Strength, he simply couldn't budge the log wedged on the mountain.
Lin Shen also jumped over, and the two men pressed their four hands against the log, straining with all their might, yet the log didn't move an inch.
"This log is just too heavy; our Strength is not enough to push it," Lin Shen tried and immediately knew it was impossible to move.
Wei Wufu frowned and said, "The other... side… roots…"
"No, the other side of the log is too close to that Bizarre Creature, definitely within its skill range. If we go there, we will surely be drawn into the skill, having no chance to cut the roots on the other side," Lin Shen shook his head.
