Chapter 1380 - 1173: Fierce Battle in the Water (Part 2)
Right now, he's unable to perform the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps in the lake, and he's worried that before he can fully execute it, his body will be struck by those ice pillars.If his body is truly struck by those ice pillars, it will quickly be frozen.
If he cannot escape the ice block in a short time, the Ice Dragon Ice Soul will continue to attack him.
"Since there's no place to hide, I can only meet it head-on!"
Duan Gujin takes a deep breath and immediately activates Breakthrough Annihilation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Two different forces collide and create a massive explosion.
The Breakthrough Annihilation used by Duan Gujin is a Divine Skill specifically designed to break through other Divine Power Skills.
The martial artist holding the Ice Dragon Dragon Ball senses Duan Gujin using a spell to resist the Ice Dragon Ice Soul, his lips curl into a pleased smile.
"Fool! Just a Martial Artist at the Breakthrough realm thinks he can withstand the continuous attacks of the Ice Dragon Ice Soul? Even a martial artist at the Demigod Early Stage might not be able to withstand it!"
The martial artist thinks proudly.
In his heart, he believes Duan Gujin is already defeated, estimating he'll soon see an Ice Corpse.
The massive waves continuously erupting in the lake immediately catch the attention of other martial artists; they intended to enter the lake to investigate, but Dong stopped them.
"Don't step forward and mess things up! Trust Brother Lan's abilities!"
After a brief thought, the other martial artists agree with Dong.
"Indeed, the lake is now freezing cold, clearly indicating Brother Lan is using the Ice Dragon Ice Soul to deal with that enemy! Fighting Brother Lan in the water is sheer folly!"
Thus, the other martial artists decide to spread out around the area to prevent Duan Gujin from escaping.
Meanwhile, in the lake, Duan Gujin continuously uses Breakthrough Annihilation to counter Martial Artist Lan's Ice Dragon Ice Soul.
Moments later, more than ten Ice Dragon Ice Souls are destroyed by Duan Gujin's Breakthrough Annihilation.
At this moment, Duan Gujin's Divine True Qi is severely depleted.
He quickly consumes some Elixir Pills to recover Divine True Qi.
On the other hand, Martial Artist Lan stands dumbstruck, staring at Duan Gujin.
He even rubs his eyes vigorously, unable to believe the other party has managed to destroy the Ice Dragon Ice Soul he unleashed.
However, at this moment, Duan Gujin has yet to take the initiative to attack, leaving Martial Artist Lan momentarily bewildered.
"What should I do now?"
He is disoriented because he can no longer use the Ice Dragon Ice Soul.
Previously, he had exhausted all the Divine True Qi he had infused into the Ice Dragon Ice Soul, and if he wants to make the Ice Dragon Dragon Ball release the Ice Dragon Ice Soul now, he'll need to reinfuse it.
However, if he needs to reinfuse Divine True Qi into the Ice Dragon Dragon Ball, it'll take at least half a day to complete.
Clearly, he doesn't have enough time now.
"Looks like I need to change my skill immediately!"
Martial Artist Lan swiftly puts the Ice Dragon Dragon Ball into his storage ring, then takes a deep breath and retrieves his other famed treasure, the Ice Dragon Bone Spur, from the storage ring.
The Ice Dragon Bone Spur is the hardest bone extracted from a deceased ten-thousand-year-old Ice Dragon corpse, then refined and forged.
He infuses Divine True Qi inside the Ice Dragon Bone Spur, and the next moment, it emanates a Yin Cold Aura capable of freezing nearby lake water.
Martial Artist Lan activates a Cultivation Technique, unlocking the array within the Ice Dragon Bone Spur to prevent its surface from freezing.
He takes a deep breath and probes Duan Gujin with his Divine Sense to determine his current condition.
But soon, he realizes that no matter how he investigates with Divine Sense, he only sees Duan Gujin sitting eyes closed, relaxed, with no movement.
Previously, he suspected Duan Gujin was likely injured, but he hesitated, fearing it might be Duan Gujin's ploy.
Thus, he decided to observe for a while before taking action.
For him, he believed this was the safest approach.
However, he didn't realize that his previous mindset caused him to miss the best opportunity to strike.
Earlier, Duan Gujin continuously performed Breakthrough Annihilation, heavily consuming Divine True Qi and Divine Power.
If this time Martial Artist Lan and others attacked him, he'd likely face inevitable doom.
Fortunately, after blocking those ten-plus Ice Dragon Ice Souls, he made no move, causing Martial Artist Lan to doubt.
At the same time, Martial Artist Lan had also consumed considerable Divine True Qi and Divine Power previously, requiring recovery.
Duan Gujin sought this precise outcome.
It was a critical moment to him, and his greatest comfort was that the other martial artists took no action.
He aimed to gain as much time for himself as possible.
Even though Martial Artist Lan is now attacking him, Duan Gujin has recovered forty to fifty percent of his Divine True Qi and Divine Power.
As long as the opponent doesn't attack with more than six Ice Dragon Ice Souls simultaneously, Duan Gujin can withstand other skills.
Martial Artist Lan swiftly swims to Duan Gujin, with the Ice Dragon Bone Spur needing proximity to unleash its strongest combat power.
Duan Gujin keeps his eyes tightly shut, locking onto Martial Artist Lan with Divine Sense, remaining vigilant.
Once close, Martial Artist Lan with Ice Dragon Bone Spur erupts with Divine True Qi.
The next moment, Sword Qi bursts forth from the Ice Dragon Bone Spur.
The Sword Qi contains a portion of the Ice Dragon's Divine Skills, and if it hits an enemy's body, the effect will be similar to the Ice Dragon Ice Soul, rapidly freezing the enemy's body, solidifying flesh and blood.
Frozen living creatures need to unleash strong power to break the ice.
Even if breaking the ice, the living creatures will suffer from previous bodily injuries, leading to a decline in combat power.
However, the Sword Qi from the Ice Dragon Bone Spur is much weaker in Divine Power compared to the Ice Dragon Dragon Ball.
Martial Artist Lan sees Duan Gujin still tightly closing his eyes, believing victory is on his side.
Yet, the next moment, the smile on his face stiffens as he sees Duan Gujin suddenly open his eyes fiercely.
"Tricked?"
Martial Artist Lan, seeing Duan Gujin abruptly open his eyes, instantly realizes the other side was likely feigning.
Hurriedly, he waves the Ice Dragon Bone Spur and swiftly unleashes Sword Qi at Duan Gujin with extreme speed.
However, the next moment, he sees Duan Gujin punching with both fists toward the Sword Qi he emitted.
He clearly sees Duan Gujin smash one or two Sword Qi with one punch, with the left fist just finishing and the right fist roaring toward.
In less than three breaths, all Sword Qi he released is shattered by Duan Gujin's fists.
Previously, he hadn't clearly seen how Duan Gujin faced his Ice Dragon Ice Soul, but this time, he sees Duan Gujin continuously smashing the Sword Qi from the Ice Dragon Bone Spur with his bare fists.
Even he, the owner, wouldn't dare withstand the Sword Qi from the Ice Dragon Bone Spur.
In the past, he had his master use the Ice Dragon Bone Spur to attack, allowing him to personally experience its fierce Sword Qi.
After experiencing it, he accurately understood the Divine Skills of the Ice Dragon Bone Spur, knowing its power well.
Martial Artist Lan feels that the Duan Gujin before him couldn't possibly counter the Divine Skills of the Ice Dragon Bone Spur with mere fists. His eyes flash, realizing a possibility.
"I see, this martial artist must be wearing some powerful gloves!"
Upon realizing this, his mind resolves quickly to distance from Duan Gujin and let other martial artists confront him.
The martial artists on the surface see large waves again erupting from the lake, immediately considering another battle might be occurring below.
"Everyone get ready, something's happening!"
Those martial artists on the surface lock their Divine Sense onto the lake's surface, ready to judge any creature that emerges as an enemy or ally once it shows.
