Chapter 336 Defeating Ye Ku
Chapter 336 Defeating Ye Ku
Ye Ku was torn in two by a spatial rift, and he was resurrected in a pale blue light.
"The soul and body of the Vortex Clan are closely linked. Even if the body is destroyed, as long as the soul remains, it can use the energy of nature to regenerate a new body. As soon as Ye Ku's body was separated, his soul was able to reassemble it, and with each death, he becomes stronger, with his divine blood revived even more," Feng Ying explained. The Vortex Clan has the ability to regenerate, and they become even stronger after death and rebirth, which is what makes them so terrifying.
"Haha..." Ye Ku laughed arrogantly and said with great pride, "Our race of gods cultivates reincarnation, and the Vortex Worm race transcends life and death. On the path of eternity, we are destined to be invincible from the start. No one can stop my path to godhood."
Zheng Qian squinted. The Vortex Worm Clan actually had regenerative abilities. With such a powerful racial talent, they were invincible from the start. No wonder the clan could produce gods.
According to Feng Yingte, if the soul does not die, it can reassemble the body and become stronger each time it dies, meaning it has the ability to regenerate infinitely. Doesn't that mean that the only way to kill him is to kill his soul?
Killing souls is a unique skill of Soul Masters. Zheng Qian is not a Soul Master, and he felt this was getting a bit tricky.
"All living things in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. If you can be reborn after dying once, I don't believe you can be reborn even after dying a hundred times." Zheng Qian said very seriously. Even if you have divine blood, it is impossible to achieve immortality.
If you can be reborn after dying once, then I'll kill you a hundred times. If you can be reborn after a hundred times, then I'll kill you ten thousand times, until you can no longer be reborn.
"You're the first person who dares to speak to me like that." Ye Ku sneered. The spatial rift was just an accident; he was about to get serious.
"Withered technique, slay."
As soon as Ye Ku finished speaking, the eight great swords in the sky began to spin, their gray and white spiritual energy intertwining, like a death dragon in a raging storm, charging down towards Zheng Qian.
Zheng Qian raised his head, the violent spiritual energy blowing through his long hair, revealing his handsome and resolute face. His eyes were extremely serious; on the gray-white dragon, he felt the threat of death, and a sense of inescapable defeat welled up inside him.
"Does the attack also affect his mind?" Zheng Qian wondered. He was strong enough to withstand it, but the giant dragon was making him lose his focus, which was particularly strange.
"The sea of blood is boundless." Blood mist surged around Zheng Qian, all negative effects disappeared, and an invincible confidence welled up in his heart.
"Explosive Slash".
Zheng Qian's blood energy surged from his feet, forming a five-meter-thick cylinder. The blood-red and gray-white colliding produced a booming explosion, instantly scattering the eight large swords in all directions.
Zhao Mingxiu gasped. Zheng Qian's blood energy was so strong? Gray spiritual energy has a suppressive effect on human bloodlines because humans do not have divine blood and are naturally suppressed.
Li Zun's pupils contracted slightly; Zheng Qian's combat strength was even greater than he had imagined. Feng Yingte's eyelids twitched wildly; he thought the battle would be one-sided, but unexpectedly, Zheng Qian actually cleaved through Ye Ku's sword formation with a single sword strike.
"With thirty-two legs, which leg will you use to walk first?" Zheng Qian asked, his feet shimmering with starlight as he charged towards Ye Ku.
This was Zheng Qian's first proactive attack. Wherever he went, blood vapor rose, and the eerie blue light emitted by the withered leaves was swallowed up by the blood mist.
Which foot should you walk with first?
Ye Ku instinctively took a step, but found it very awkward. He knew this was Zheng Qian's psychological tactic, but he still couldn't help wondering which foot to move first.
"Withered artemisia, gathered together."
Ye Ku roared, and eight large swords flew back. He stopped worrying about walking and stood still to fight Zheng Qian.
The eight broadswords swung incredibly fast, each strike capable of eight cuts. Zheng Qian, wielding only a single sword, held his own, accurately blocking every single one of the broadswords.
"Your sword is too slow." Zheng Qian's blood energy erupted, and he used all his strength in every sword strike. He only had 140,000 jin of strength, but he could unleash more than 180,000 jin of strength.
Ye Ku was no longer arrogant. Every sword strike from Zheng Qian made his arm go numb, and he had to retreat continuously. He was a prodigy with divine blood genes, and his strength was naturally stronger than that of humans. At this moment, he only had 140,000 jin of strength, and the strength he could exert was only 140,000 jin.
A strength of 140,000 jin is the threshold for the Demon Transformation Realm; no living being can break through it. Even the Vortex Worm Clan, with the bloodline of gods, can only reach 140,000 jin. Li Zun, having received the inheritance and education from Long Batian, only has 120,000 jin.
They couldn't understand why Zheng Qian could exert a force of 180,000 jin and force Ye Ku to retreat repeatedly.
Li Zun knew that Zheng Qian was able to unleash such tremendous power because Zheng Qian had comprehended the power of control, and Zheng Qian had already stepped halfway into the realm of fusion, which was why he was able to unleash such powerful strength.
"Your speed is too slow." Zheng Qian slashed Ye Ku away with his sword. Although Ye Ku blocked the attack, he also coughed up blue blood.
Ye Ku's eyes were icy cold. Even now, he couldn't understand why he couldn't defeat Zheng Qian. He had eight broadswords, while Zheng Qian only had one heavy sword. How could he not break through Zheng Qian's defense?
Unable to defeat him on the ground, Ye Ku flew directly into the sky, coldly staring at Zheng Qian. The eight large swords merged in mid-air into a giant battle sword, which Ye Ku raised high.
"Withered Technique, Reincarnation Slash".
Clang. The Dragon Scale Void-Piercing Sword pierced the ground, and Zheng Qian took out the You Tong Bow from his spatial ring, drew it back with a whoosh, and a blood-red arrow appeared.
As soon as the bow appeared, Ye Ku's pupils contracted sharply. It was You Tong's Heart Sutra Bow, which could be drawn to transform spiritual energy into arrows with unparalleled power.
You Tong was killed by Zheng Qian? Ye Ku was suddenly agitated. You Tong's combat strength was comparable to his own. When he sparred with You Tong before, he only managed to defeat her by half a move.
"Your speed is too slow." Zheng Qian released the bowstring, and the blood-red arrow whistled through the air, leaving a trail of blood-red afterimages, and instantly shot towards Ye Ku's head.
Ye Ku tensed up, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis. He tried to dodge, but found there was nowhere to hide and could only watch helplessly as the blood-red arrow struck him.
Bang! An explosion rang out as Ye Ku's head was blasted apart by an arrow, and his body plummeted from the sky. The blood-red arrow, undiminished in its momentum, flew into the lightning.
Just now, Zheng Qian activated his divine power to lock onto Ye Ku, who had no way to avoid it. His divine bloodline was also useless.
Zhao Mingxiu and the other two stared at Zheng Qian in disbelief. They had witnessed Ye Ku's strength firsthand, yet Zheng Qian still managed to blow his head off with a single arrow.
"Haha..." A beam of eerie blue light appeared, and Ye Ku laughed loudly: "Zheng Qian, you can't kill me."
Zheng Qian sneered, stepping on the triangular position, and directly arrived on Ye Ku's corpse, the blood mist completely enveloping the dark blue beam of light.
"Devouring Heaven Technique!" Zheng Qian roared in his heart, and blood mist rose up, colliding with the dark blue beam of light and making a sizzling sound.
Devouring, the blood mist is devouring the life force of the withered leaves.
"Ah, Zheng Qian, what kind of monster are you? How can you devour my life?" Ye Ku cried out in terror. His reconstructed body was crystal clear, but it was quickly devoured by the blood mist, slowly turning grayish-white.
Click.
The withered leaf fell to the ground, shattering into dust. Its life force was completely consumed; it died in resentment.
