Chapter 1475: The Ultimate Blow
Zhang Lie's temples throbbed as his vision seemed to turn dark. Even with his astounding willpower, he had almost fainted on the spot—and his mental strength had been bolstered by two lifetimes' worth of living. An ordinary cultivator's brain might well have exploded.
This was how incredible Feng Xian's mental strength had become.
Even so, Zhang Lie gritted his teeth and managed to survive the attack.
Feng Xian herself was shaken. She had managed to seize quite a few opportunities within this realm, and had even gained a bug emperor of her own and undergone a mental transformation. Her mental strength alone was all but able to kill even a genius protege of the supreme forces on the spot. This was her biggest trump card and the reason why no ordinary competitor would dare to fight with her.
Even so, her trump card had failed to kill the man before her.
Zahng Lie's fingers curled into lustrous claws. His palm was sharper than any weapon, and was easily able to cut mortal skin and flesh.
Feng Xian's pearlescent, ruby-red blood formed a pink cloud in the lake water, but Zhang Lie's claws quickly met resistance with a metallic clang. Zhang Lie was surprised.
His right claw had drawn blood but was prevented from doing any further damage by a barrier of light.
Lustrous light formed a shield all over Feng Xian's body, protecting herself against external force and preventing Zhang Lie's claw from penetrating her flesh.
Feng Xian had grown more resilient compared to the start of the tournament.
Was she really still a mortal, or a woman of metal and steel?
He didn't know what was going on; there should be few cultivators who had had their physical bodies tempered to such an extent to be comparable with his own.
This wasn't the sensation that a mortal body should have. She glowed with light and was cold and hard like an ore of metal.
Meanwhile, Feng Xian began to counterattack. She moved rapidly as she formed seals with her hands. Her body was a series of afterimages; she looked like a divine bird swooping with wings outstretched, a frightening gale behind her.
Pale blue genetic energy rippled about Zhang Lie's arms. He flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend on the world. The sky began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!"
A howling gale swept over the arena. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.
A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging.
Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the space and striking the palm of fog. The two competitors clashed against each other.
As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie's signature genetic energy. The genetic energy was as deep as the sea. It transformed into a storm that ravaged the land.
The ground quaked.
In a flash, the two cultivators exchanged thousands of blows, combining physical might with genetic power. Each of Zhang Lie's punches seemed to bear the weight of a typhoon.
Feng Xian was no slouch, either. Her own tempest raged as she unleashed a bevy of complicated techniques in an extravagant display of light.
As their punches met, both cultivators were sent flying.
"I'm not the old me. Do you think you're a match for the new me?" Feng Xian quickly shot forward. Where she strode, lotuses bloomed. Crystalline flowers budded and blossomed around her in incandescent light.
Power manifested around her. Her eyes, brilliant as lightning, intensified. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"
A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.
Pitch-black genetic energy revolved around Zhang Lie like dark clouds, then exploded forth in his vicinity, devouring the crystalline petals.
Feng Xian reacted swiftly. More golden lotus petals scattered around her and transformed into burning energy that countered the dark clouds around Zhang Lie. Her golden light pierced through them as she shot
Another clash unfolded as the two cultivators traded blows. Their attacks blurred as the tempo of the fight was raised ever again.
Suddenly, a gigantic burst of energy separated the two of them. The void distorted; their surroundings exploded. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"I'll kill you today!"
Feng Xian took the initiative to attack once more. She looked to be a genteel beauty, but her attacks and movements were sharp and decisive, with no wasted movement whatsoever. Her aura was oppressive. She struck like a storm.
After an intense series of attacks, her body suddenly grew taut. Her bones turned silvery-white as she shot toward Zhang Lie like an arrow.
"[Divine Arrow]!" She blurred; her attacks were so fast they were almost impossible to detect.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"
Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth.
Feng Xian was visibly startled, but she easily dodged the serpent given her extreme speed. She looked like a bolt of silver lightning as she zipped through the air.
This was a use of spatial force at its peak, allowing her to behave like a divine arrow that shot through the void at extreme speed but simultaneously allow for rapid changes in direction.
As Zhang Lie activated his monarch-grade limitless universe soulshard,
In order to catch up with Feng Xian's speed, Zhang Lie activated his limitless universe soulshard. He glowed with stellar radiance, like a burning star. Starlight flowed through his body in phantasmagorical colors.
The starlight's allure captivated all onlookers.
Zhang Lie's body transformed into a glaze of the dark cosmos, as though the Milky Way itself flowed through his body. His aura grew tremendously as he barely managed to match her speed.
The woman continued barreling forward, obliterating any obstacles in her way.
Zhang Lie himself was making a move. A starlit sea manifested around him, and the power of the stars formed a whirlpool using his water-attuned genetic energy as a foundation.
The whirlpool caused the void to grow sluggish, limiting the speed of the silver arrow into which the woman had transformed.
Zhang Lie activated his dragonwolf soulshard. His russet fur seemed to glimmer with stellar radiance, each hair a shining star, as though he were draped with the entirety of the Milky Way. His four limbs were armored with a dragon's scales, each a burning golden sun. The two soulshards' power combined.
