Free Web NovelChapter 1123: Chapter 1094: Identical Person
However, just as Yelu Shou was grinning fiercely in his heart while evading the shadowy figure’s attack, five streams of chilling killing intent accompanied by a dull roar abruptly emanated in mid-air, attempting to lock him firmly within. The sharp killing intent caused Xiao Lin, high above Yelu Shou, to gather strength in his hands, preparing to strike.
Without time to think, Yelu Shou swiftly employed his Body Technique, forcibly shaking off the killing intent locked onto him. At the same time, the Steel Rod extended out and viciously swung towards the shadowy figure.
Clang! The Steel Rod collided with the Steel Claw, yet the five shadowy figures, after releasing their killing intent, did not take any action but merely observed the battle below.
"Shou, finish this person!" Xiao Lin’s voice came from above. At that moment, he had already leaped towards the opposite side.
Upon hearing Xiao Lin’s voice, Yelu Shou became even more excited, as if he had taken a reassurance pill. The shadow of the rod in his hand became even more fierce and precise, sweeping towards the shadowy figure.
"Courting death!" The shadowy figure snorted coldly, icy glints flashing in his eyes. His mist-like body deftly dodged the sweeping Steel Rod, as the chilling silver Steel Claw aimed straight for Yelu Shou’s throat.
The bizarre and terrifying Body Technique caused Yelu Shou’s pupils to contract once more. This speed was twice as fast and fierce as before. Without time to deliberate further, Yelu Shou abruptly tilted his head back, simultaneously swinging the Steel Rod again with a cunning angle towards the shadowy figure’s chest. At this moment, Xiao Lin had already landed in front of the five individuals, merely intending to prevent them from descending into the battle below.
Just as the tip of Yelu Shou’s Steel Rod tilted, the shadowy figure’s body floated without support, skillfully dodging Yelu Shou’s attack. The Steel Claw, which Yelu Shou had already evaded, reversed direction with his body’s movement, ruthlessly reaching for his neck.
Hiss... This completely illogical Body Technique made Yelu Shou inhale sharply, a wave of chill spreading all over his body. Without being in the scene, one could hardly imagine the horror upon facing such a sudden situation. Bang!!!!
At the brink of life and death, Yelu Shou exerted his full Body Technique, narrowly pulling his neck away from the Steel Claw’s lock. Nevertheless, the sinister, chilling Steel Claw still left a deep bloody streak on his shoulder. Simultaneously, the shadowy figure’s toe bypassed Yelu Shou’s Steel Rod and fiercely stomped on his lower abdomen. In the muffled sound of flesh clashing impact, it hurled him to the ground.
"Hehe!" A sound resembling laughter or crying emanated from Yelu Shou’s throat, momentarily dazzling the shadowy figure. However, to Xiao Lin’s ears, this eerie sound was indeed Yelu Shou’s trademark move. To this day, no one had forced him to this realm, indicating that the origins of these individuals really needed careful investigation. Facing the five identical faces in front, Xiao Lin dared not let his guard down in the slightest. But at the same time, did anyone else on this ship really not notice the changes here, or perhaps... He suddenly glanced at the five expressionless people, his heart skipping a beat.
Just as the shadowy figure attempted to strike Yelu Shou again, the person who had been knocked to the ground sprang up like a shrimp. As the shadowy figure approached, a silver light flashed before his eyes, and the Steel Rod unexpectedly swept from behind him.
Clang clang clang! The intense sounds of clash suddenly erupted. As the shadowy figure rapidly retreated, both claws swiftly moved, intercepting all of Yelu Shou’s fiercely swung Steel Rods. Amidst the muffled roars, the claws, carrying a momentum as if tearing through the air, ferociously ripped towards the retreating shadowy figure.
With the full force impact and sudden speed increase, Yelu Shou’s speed undoubtedly reached a new height. Not only was his figure rapidly accelerated, but the Steel Rod in his hand also roared like silver lightning, providing unparalleled visual shock and chilling impact. Just as the Steel Rod was about to pierce the shadowy figure’s chest, the shadowy figure’s black robe suddenly expanded, seemingly slow yet rapidly navigating around the attacking Steel Rod, ghost-like, appearing beside Yelu Shou. The ready-to-strike Steel Claw aimed viciously at Yelu Shou’s side ribs.
The Steel Rod whirled, bringing with it a fierce gust as it suddenly descended at an angle, the tip of the Steel Rod pointing directly at the shadowy figure’s throat. Simultaneously, the right hand formed a claw, swiftly striking towards the shadowy figure’s chest.
Although this life-risking method might injure Yelu Shou himself, if the shadowy figure struck Yelu Shou, his Steel Blade could equally inflict severe damage. However, should it indeed happen, the injured shadowy figure would find it extremely difficult to escape Yelu Shou’s siege.
Indeed... The shadowy figure’s eyes contracted, and Yelu Shou’s reaction speed took him by surprise. The right claw attacking the chest and throat, full of menace, left him deeply threatened. Cursing inwardly, he had no choice but to retreat rapidly.
Amidst the lightning-fast collision, despite the extreme danger within, Xiao Lin, who was splitting his attention to stay alert, couldn’t clearly see what actually transpired, sensing only that the two first fused together, then broke apart again!
Rapid! Swift! Just as the two touched and separated, Yelu Shou seized the gap during the shadowy figure’s full-body onslaught and swiftly shifted positions, appearing beside the shadowy figure. The Steel Rod in his hand soared upwards with vicious force, the chilling killing intent firmly locking onto the retreating shadowy figure.
Faced with such an abrupt and forceful attack, even if in Yelu Shou’s position, one would certainly need to temporarily avoid its edge, let alone the shadowy figure!
With a silent shock in his heart, the figure let out a muffled low growl from his throat, the pitch-black robe fluttering as if blown by the wind, spinning up like a black hurricane. This time, although he wasn’t as elusive as before, his overall speed increased once again. Yelu Shou felt the black shadow before him shiver, immediately losing sight of the figure.
However... the figure’s rampage would only reach this point! Just as he gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to swiftly exit the battle circle, Yelu Shou lifted his body, his rod moving up and down to enclose the figure, completely blocking his retreat.
While the figure was desperately dodging deadly edges, he darted to his side with a blend of skill and surprise, suddenly swinging a precisely directed palm strike towards his chest.
Bang! The figure’s Body Technique was terrifying, but Yelu Shou’s palm struck heavily on his chest. The palm imprinted on the figure’s chest was soft as if boneless, white and flawless like jade, yet the force hidden within was truly terrifying. Without much visible effort, the figure that had just floated into the air shuddered violently, then was forcefully blasted down by him.
At the same time, the steel rod and iron leg followed closely, crashing towards his waist with fierce power. The full-force swing, wrapped in murderous intent, brought immense force, the whistling sound of the wind breaking seemingly shattering the space.
Bang! The dull sound of impact resounded again. Although the figure roared, exerting all his strength to evade Yelu Shou’s fearsome steel rod, and even diverted the iron leg’s force at this life-and-death moment, he was still hit hard by Yelu Shou, the frail body kicked into the air, with a mouthful of blood spurting out.
As the figure used the momentum to adjust his body and floated away in mid-air, Yelu Shou’s feet alternated, stomping to soar into the sky, surrounding the airborne figure.
Ah!!! A slightly sharp shout erupted as the figure’s black robe expanded again. Just as Yelu Shou’s swift steel rod seemed about to pierce his body, the long black robe suddenly unfurled, forming a large black cloth nearly five meters wide in the blink of an eye. The sudden change not only made Yelu Shou feel as if his pupils had entered darkness, hard to see clearly, but also made him feel as if he lost his target just when he was about to strike it.
Poof... The sound of tearing echoed, but Yelu Shou’s expression changed drastically because his steel rod felt like it pierced nothing but the black cloth above.
"Damn it, what a troublesome guy! How can he be so strong?" Xiao Lin heard Yelu Shou’s curse, though his tone showed absolute confidence in seizing this victory. However, facing the five people before him, he felt puzzled by their inaction. Were they here to assist or to collect corpses?
At this moment, the figure devised such a mind-bending tactic. Though simple, it was effective, understandably fueling Yelu Shou’s anger.
An enraged Yelu Shou roared, his waist suddenly exerting force, his descending legs stomping fiercely towards the figure. Bang! Clang clang!
The steel rod suddenly tore through the black cloth, fiercely blasting towards the silver Steel Claw that coincidentally sought to strike him. Ear-piercing booms erupted consecutively, with the rod tightly wrapping and locking onto the claw, capturing one of its spikes on the seventh clash!
Simultaneously, Yelu Shou swiftly lifted his right leg, kicking furiously at the figure’s body. In a mere second, dozens of leg shadows were kicked out, covering the entire central curtain.
Bang bang bang! Three consecutive collision sounds erupted, although the figure tried desperately to evade, his Steel Claw was firmly captured, greatly limiting his range of motion. In a flash, his waist and abdomen were repeatedly struck. These weren’t ordinary kicks. Although Yelu Shou’s strength didn’t match Xiao Lin’s, the genuine power behind them was quite terrifying, especially since Yelu Shou executed them in a fit of rage.
The body shivered intensely, the figure instinctively felt his blood and energy churning all over. His already pale complexion soon flushed with an unusual redness, and the tearing pain in his abdomen rendered his body rigid, his drifting Body Technique involuntarily slowed by a fraction.
"Get the hell down!!!" Seizing this rare opportunity, he gripped the steel rod firmly, exerting force in mid-air, spinning it into a full circle before slamming it downward with all his might.
However, what seemed like a figure out of control suddenly twisted its body in a rigid turn, with the silver Steel Claw carrying a chilling intent, thrusting out from the broken clothing. One claw intercepted Yelu Shou’s steel rod with precision while the other spun fiercely, thrusting towards Yelu Shou’s heart.
Though the two were almost evenly matched, there was ultimately too vast a difference!
"Heh heh," Yelu Shou suddenly shot up from below, his steel rod casting countless rod shadows, violently stirring the figure’s clothing, further thrusting towards his body. (To be continued.
