Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 395 Fierce Battle with Qiongqi

"I have seen through your abilities." Qiongqi's voice was arrogant and cold. It no longer changed position, but hovered in the icy mist. Its voice became stable and clear, echoing clearly in Qin Xiaochuan's mental world. "It's time to end this battle."

Just as Qin Xiaochuan was concentrating on preparing to meet the opponent's attack, he saw Qiongqi suddenly open its blood-red maw, and countless blue orbs of light flew out of its mouth, rushing to Qin Xiaochuan's side and flying up and down while shrieking loudly.

"These are vengeful spirits?" Qin Xiaochuan's face showed pain. The shrieks of those vengeful spirits carried strong mental attacks. Although Qin Xiaochuan's mental strength was strong enough to resist those mental attacks, he would inevitably be infected by the resentment in them over time, which would shake his will. After all, sensitivity is a double-edged sword.

No one can maintain a healthy mindset for a long time in an environment full of resentment, not even Qin Xiaochuan.

"That's right, this is called vengeful spirits devouring the heart. I think with your abilities, you'll definitely be able to experience its wonders." Qiongqi said smugly. It was clear that it had realized Qin Xiaochuan's perception ability came from spiritual energy, which was why it released these vengeful spirits to seal off his mental space.

The shrieks of vengeful spirits continued unabated, and Qin Xiaochuan grew increasingly agitated, as if an unnamed fire had been ignited within him. He couldn't help but shout, "Enlightenment!"

"Understood!" Kaiming waved his claw, releasing a Thunderous Net. Countless electric currents surged through the air, enveloping all the vengeful spirits within. Lightning-type skills are arguably the best way to deal with vengeful spirits.

The electric current crackled and popped incessantly in the air, and all the vengeful spirits vanished in the lightning. The shrieking also subsided, but after the lightning disappeared, the vengeful spirits reassembled, and the shrieking filled the mind again.

"It's no use. These vengeful spirits are not ordinary ones. They are formed from my resentment. Unless you defeat me, they will keep appearing until you are assimilated. Hahaha." Qiongqi sneered triumphantly in the icy mist.

Qin Xiaochuan suppressed the anger rising in his heart, but the feeling of irritation was like ants constantly gnawing at his heart. The only solution at the moment was to reduce his perception ability in the mental space again, so that the mental attack of the vengeful spirit would have little effect on him. However, this would allow Qiongqi's conspiracy to succeed. The original intention of the other party in releasing this skill was to block his mental perception ability.

"If only I could both suppress my senses and release my perceptions at the same time," Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but think. But he knew it was impossible, because he was a human being with flesh and blood, not a machine without feelings. So he had to make a choice between the two.

After enduring the torment in his heart for several more minutes, Qin Xiaochuan finally couldn't hold on any longer. He had to restrain his mental energy to guard his true self, otherwise he would be defeated by himself before he could defeat Qiongqi. However, this caused his perception ability in his mental space to drop by several dimensions, and Qiongqi immediately seized the opportunity to launch a fatal attack on Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan didn't realize what was happening until the ice prison completely enveloped him.

He only had time to fully manifest the Qilin Armor on his body before he was unable to move, because his body had been completely frozen by the Qiongqi's extreme cold marrow. Qin Xiaochuan looked panicked in the ice prison, and endless cold penetrated his skin and went straight into his internal organs. He felt that his blood was also freezing, so he quickly circulated the Samadhi True Fire spiritual power in his body to block the invasion of the cold.

"Ice Burial!" Qiongqi shouted coldly, instantly shattering the ice prison. Qin Xiaochuan was also sent flying far away. He felt as if a primordial force was tearing at his body, and his Qilin Armor shattered instantly. This was the first time he had ever seen his Qilin Armor destroyed by an enemy in one fell swoop. The key was that the opponent's attack carried a chill that penetrated straight into his internal organs. If Qin Xiaochuan had not been protected by the spiritual power of the Samadhi True Fire, he would have been half-dead or seriously injured after taking this attack.

Even so, he was still pale, and his spiritual power was almost completely exhausted. He could only obtain spiritual power from the witch's ring. Perhaps because of the severe injury, he found that his internal energy was stagnant and the flow of spiritual power had slowed down a lot.

"I didn't expect to encounter a second person today who could withstand my fatal blow." Qiongqi was clearly surprised that Qin Xiaochuan was still unharmed, but it showed no mercy. A cluster of ice spikes shimmering with a faint blue light had already formed in front of it. "But what is destined to end will ultimately come to an end!"

As Qiongqi finished speaking, the ice spikes shot towards Qin Xiaochuan. Qin Xiaochuan's face turned pale. His spiritual energy was in a vacuum, and he could only barely release a Xuanwu Shield. However, the Xuanwu Shield was obviously unable to block the opponent's attack. Kaiming was also basically paralyzed at this time. It was already quite good that he could barely stay in the air without falling.

"Mercury Mirror Defense." Just as Qin Xiaochuan was watching helplessly as the ice spikes attacked, waiting to die, the Gold Priest waved his staff, forming a bright, constantly flowing mercury mirror in front of Qin Xiaochuan.

It turned out that while the Golden Priest was fighting the Golden-Beaked Demon Eagle, he had been keeping an eye on Qin Xiaochuan's situation. So when he saw Qin Xiaochuan in danger, he rushed over immediately and blocked the fatal blow for Qin Xiaochuan at the critical moment.

The mercury mirror was made of liquid mercury. When Qiongqi's ice spikes struck the mercury mirror, various runes suddenly appeared around it. As these runes appeared, the mercury mirror seemed to transform into a bottomless abyss. All the ice spikes melted into the mercury mirror without causing a ripple. After catching all the ice spikes, the Golden Priest waved his staff, and the mercury turned into droplets, which then smashed into Qiongqi in the icy mist.

Just as Qiongqi condensed an ice wall in front of it to block the attack of the mercury beads, the Golden Priest clenched his right hand in the air and shouted "Explode!" The mercury beads instantly exploded on the ice shield, turning into mercury vapor that permeated around Qiongqi. The mercury vapor contained a deadly poison, so Qiongqi did not dare to be careless. It immediately released the Northern Darkness Frost Breath to freeze the mercury vapor into ice mist, and then gathered it together and sealed it in its ice marrow.

Although the Golden Priest had freed Qin Xiaochuan from his predicament, he himself was simultaneously fighting the Golden-Beaked Ghost Eagle. Just as he was attacking Qiongqi, the Golden-Beaked Ghost Eagle launched a series of attacks on him. The Golden Priest had already been seriously injured in the battle with Qiongqi and had been fighting the Golden-Beaked Ghost Eagle for a long time, so his spiritual power was almost completely depleted. Now, distracted, he could only barely withstand the first wave of attacks from the Golden-Beaked Ghost Eagle. Soon, two huge wind blades from the Golden-Beaked Ghost Eagle landed on his back.
