Chapter 444: Feng, strange beast

In the biting cold wind, sharp ice cones, propelled by a whistling force, struck the earthen wall like deadly hidden weapons.

With a “thud,” the ice cone embedded itself directly into the upper part of the earthen wall, sending ice shards flying.

Liang Yu not only defended impenetrably but also found an opportunity to counterattack.

He seized the moment when the ice cone was blocked by the earthen wall, and once again took a powerful step forward.

Black Mist Liang Yu, with his extraordinary posture, maintained his swinging motion, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to be stirred by a mysterious force.

The earth appeared to be boiling, continuously churning and emitting a dull roar.

Immediately after, countless sharp earth spikes rapidly rose from the churning ground.

These earth spikes varied in thickness but all exuded a fierce aura, appearing even more eerie and terrifying against the backdrop of the night.

They thrust towards Liang Yu’s three hundred and sixty-one main acupoints in an orderly fashion.

The earth spikes swiftly moved through the black mist, creating whistling sounds as if countless sharp blades were cutting through the air.

Their sharp tips gleamed with a cold light, as if they could instantly pierce Black Mist Liang Yu’s body upon contact.

This sudden counterattack caught the opponent off guard, causing his assault to falter.

He slightly raised his hands, and the black mist around him swirled, forming a faint protective barrier at his sides, preparing to meet this fierce and fatal blow.

The black mist permeated, surging and rolling like a turbulent tide, attempting to engulf everything flying towards him.

These earth spikes completely ignored the black mist’s obstruction, rushing towards their target with an unstoppable momentum.

They were incredibly fast, creating faint streaks of light as they moved through the black mist.

In the blink of an eye, the earth spikes accurately pierced into the opponent’s three hundred and sixty-one main acupoints.

Black Mist Liang Yu, initially somewhat composed under the cover of the black mist, instantly changed his expression due to these sudden earth spikes.

The moment the earth spikes entered his body, the opponent let out a painful groan.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and his previously steady breathing became chaotic.

As the earth spikes penetrated deeper into the acupoints, wisps of strange yellow light emanated from the acupoints, seemingly continuously disrupting the energy flow within the opponent’s body.

Black Mist Liang Yu’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as he tried to break free from the earth spikes’ restraint, but found that all his strength seemed to have been drained at that moment.

His limbs hung limply, and the Aurora Sword, thrust into the ground, supported his slowly collapsing body, which appeared particularly disheveled against the black mist.

Liang Yu’s expression was calm; he simply snapped his fingers lightly, and the crisp sound abruptly echoed in the silent space.

In an instant, the black mist that had permeated the surroundings seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rapidly converging towards Black Mist Liang Yu.

The black mist gradually condensed and continuously merged into Black Mist Liang Yu’s body; as the black mist diminished, the opponent’s figure gradually became clearer.

However, before he could react, a layer of strange light rose from the ground; the light, with an earthy yellow hue, quickly enveloped him like a tide.

As the light enveloped him, Black Mist Liang Yu’s face showed a horrified expression; he tried to struggle but found his body was fixed by the earth spikes, unable to move a single inch.

The earthy yellow light seemed to possess life, slowly seeping into his body, gradually transforming every inch of his skin.

Before long, Black Mist Liang Yu was completely petrified, covered in a solid, earthy yellow shell.

He remained in the pose of supporting his sword, like a lifelike statue.

Liang Yu decided not to waste any more time; he estimated something bad would happen if he continued.

He looked at Ju Ru, who was suppressed by the vines and unable to move.

His left hand had already touched one side of the Emperor Armor’s belt, and then an energy card with a “Thorn” character appeared in front of him.

After the Aurora Sword lightly absorbed the energy of the “Thorn” card, the Aurora Sword in Liang Yu’s hand transmitted the energy to his body.

The Emperor Armor stood proudly on the spot, and a continuous stream of energy converged towards him like a surging tide.

As the energy was transmitted, the Emperor Armor glowed brightly all over, with dazzling light that made it impossible to look directly at.

Within that light, a miraculous transformation quietly occurred.

From the back of the Emperor Armor, wisps of energy began to intertwine and condense, as if an invisible pair of hands were meticulously weaving.

Gradually, the outline of the energy became clear, and a pair of huge and magnificent energy wings slowly formed.

These wings emitted a brilliant light, each “feather” composed of pure energy, shimmering with mysterious and powerful strength.

With a slight flutter of the wings, energy ripples spread outwards, and wherever they reached, space itself seemed to tremble slightly.

The Emperor Armor gently unfurled these energy wings, and a powerful aura surged forth.

At this moment, the Emperor Armor, with the help of these energy wings, was like a god of war descended upon the world.

Liang Yu instantly turned his gaze to Ju Ru.

He twisted the long sword in his hand, and a fierce sword wind whistled up; the sword body gleamed with a cold light, like a white snake flicking its tongue, striking directly at Ju Ru.

At the same time, the pair of wings behind him, which had been unfurled, suddenly glowed brightly, then transformed into countless tiny but sharp light thorns, like a dense rain of arrows, overwhelming Ju Ru.

These light thorns zipped through the air, making a “sizzling” sound, as if they would pierce through any obstacle.

Ju Ru was completely unable to resist Liang Yu’s attack.

The light thorns, with a fierce whistle, cut through the silent air and instantly impaled it, turning it into a hedgehog.

Enveloped by the light thorns, it struggled painfully, emitting low roars.

Its body, previously hidden in the shadows, was now clearly visible due to the dense light thorns all over it.

The light thorns shimmered with a cold light, like solidified lightning bolts, tightly pinned to its body.

At the same time, that phrase was also recited by Liang Yu as he made his move.

‘Wind Eagle Sword’s Cloud Piercing Thorn Talisman: Subdue demons and transform beasts, break with swift wind, cease in an instant.’

He didn’t know why, but he found it particularly awkward when he recited it, though he didn’t think much of it. Seeing Ju Ru turned into a hedgehog, Liang Yu planned to follow up with a flying kick to turn the opponent into a demon sealing talisman.

However, before he could land the flying kick, for some unknown reason, Ju Ru, now a hedgehog, began to crack all over its body, and then exploded.

When the dust settled, only the demon sealing talisman he wanted was left on the ground.

Liang Yu reached out for the demon sealing talisman, and then the demon sealing talisman flew into Liang Yu’s hand.

After placing the card sealing Ju Ru in front of his belt to absorb it, Liang Yu looked at the petrified Black Mist Liang Yu.

Although he had temporarily controlled the opponent, this was not a permanent solution.

The opponent would break free sooner or later, so it was better to think about how to solve it once and for all now.
