The blazing flames spread all around, and the flying hot rocks penetrated Ling Shu's body directly, causing no harm to him.
However, the flames composed of magic power can cause unimaginable pain to the spirit.
For a moment, Ling Shu actually thought he was still alive and remembered the fire in which he died.
It was because he did not work seriously at that time that the tragedy occurred, and he did not want to repeat the same mistake again.
Retracting his body, Ling Shu crawled into the ground.
The scorching magical flames seeped down through the cracks in the volcanic rock, still burning Ling Shu and causing him unspeakable pain.
He endured the pain and continued moving forward underground.
Before being engulfed by flames, Ling Shu made a preliminary estimate of the position of Yang Yu and the others.
Going underground, getting behind Yang Yu and the others and launching a sneak attack would be a fatal blow.
Under the strong firelight, a black spot appeared behind the shield. Before Ling Shu's figure became solid, Yang Yu, holding the [Stone of Heaven] in his fist, smashed it on him.
Yang Yu naturally knew that this was a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack and made preparations early.
Ling Shu's figure, which had not yet taken shape, suddenly shrank and turned into an earthworm, burrowing into the volcanic rock that Yang Yu could not reach.
The flames gradually died down, and the diligent Ling Shu returned to the staff. His illusory body became solid, and he pulled out the staff, his eyes fixed on Yang Yu who was holding the [Stone of Heaven].
That stone was very strange. It should be the legendary stone from heaven, which could actually hit spirits.
Ling Shu hesitated as he wrapped the bandage on his hand.
Should we continue the attack, or leave with the staff that seals the devil
Yang Yu and his group were more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
The people of the Blazing Fire Tribe have already noticed the battle here...
If you get trapped, it's all over.
After thinking it over, Ling Shu tore off all the bandages he had just wrapped, turning them into countless points of light that disappeared into the air.
Zero technique, came to a conclusion.
—Today, Yang Yu must be dealt with.
Yang Yu has admitted that he is the colorful-haired masked man
Two years ago, he was just a small figure being chased around by the high priest, but now, he has become the focus of the two countries and has even resisted the attacks of the three disciples.
This kind of growth ability is simply terrifying.
Ling Shu had a hunch that if they allowed Yang Yu to continue growing, one day, Yang Yu would disrupt their plans and create more work for him.
There are indeed considerable risks in continuing to stay and fight.
But if you miss such a good opportunity, it will be gone.
The magician temporarily lost his ability to fight, and the woman who could use the holy light was not in the team. The only ones who could fight were the man and the wolf, and they had hardly studied magic or the holy light.
Just be careful with that stone, they can't do anything to you
“It’s decided, completely liberated.
When a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength.
Solve it quickly and move on to the next task."
Revealing his pitch-black, charred-wood-like arms, Ling Shu's figure suddenly swelled a bit, and gray gas gushed out from his body, surrounding him.
The gray gas close to Ling Shu's body was like strands of silk, hanging on his body.
Ling Shu's seemingly solid body gradually became ethereal in the gray mist.
Yang Yu finally saw the health bar.
However, what he saw was not Ling Shu's health bar, but only the health bars of Ling Shu's arms.
Before Ling Shu could launch an attack, the next moment, Yang Yu put away the [Stone of Heaven], the blade was stained with orange-red light, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Ling Shu.
He raised his inflated arms and smashed towards Yang Yu with Zero Technique.
Leaping backwards to avoid Ling Shu's fierce attack, Yang Yu hit Ling Shu's arms with his sword. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the stones under Yang Yu's feet made a "clattering" sound.
There was a real feeling of being hit, but Yang Yu spent 10% of his health to deal damage, but it didn't even scratch any blood on Ling Shu's arm.
The spirit is extremely resistant to physical attacks.
[Double-Sided Slash] determines physical damage, so it is difficult to hurt Zero Technique at all.
This blow once again made Yang Yu face reality.
It was simply a fantasy for him and Lotkar to defeat Zero Shu with just himself.
Ling Shu waved his arms, and his body was torn into pieces in the gray air, which was extremely weird. Then, all the gray air rushed towards Yang Yu.
Yang Yu's intuition told him that the gray gas was also a part of the Zero Technique and he must never touch the gray gas.
A red light flashed in his eyes, and he activated [Sudden Killing Intent] to accelerate. Yang Yu used his sword to pry up countless stones that were still hot and used them as cover for his retreat.
The hot rocks crackled and hit Ling Shu's arm, causing minimal damage.
[Stone of Heaven] is still just a piece of stone, not a formal weapon.
Ling Shu hid in the gray mist and rushed in with the [Stone of Heaven], which was most likely suicide.
For the first time, Yang Yu felt that he was so helpless.
After knowing that Reijutsu's true form is a spirit, Reijutsu should have become a moving target.
If Bai Jin was still conscious, or if Iyas was here, she could deal with Ling Shu very easily.
If he had played a wizard at the beginning, Yang Yu would have been confident enough to rub Zero Magic into the rubble.
But if I had chosen the wizard, perhaps we wouldn't have come this far.
Yang Yu didn’t think that his original choice was wrong.
Since he started out as a commoner, specializing in two or three areas is already his limit.
Even if Yang Yu becomes stronger than imagined, what he can't do now just can't be done.
He couldn't think of a way to cooperate with Lothkar to single-handedly defeat Zero Shu in this kind of terrain.
Therefore, Yang Yu made a prompt decision, retrieved the Flame Dragon Shield, jumped onto the back of Lothkar who had transformed back into a giant wolf, and decided to retreat as the best strategy.
Of course, Ling Shu would not let Yang Yu go so easily. He pulled out his right arm, used the gray gas as a slingshot, and shot his right arm towards Yang Yu.
Yang Yu raised his shield to block, but Ling Shu's strange right arm pierced through Yang Yu's shield.
He took out the Stone of Heaven again and blocked Ling Shu's flying right arm. Only then did Yang Yu barely manage to knock Ling Shu's arm aside.
Unexpectedly, there was gray air pulling on Ling Shu's arm, and his arm was like a hook, stuck in the void.
Ling Shu absorbed the gray air, and his entire body moved quickly towards his flying right arm. In the blink of an eye, he arrived to the right side of Yang Yu and the others.
Lotkar half stood up and released a silver claw attack, temporarily stopping Ling Shu's movements, but it was a drop in the bucket.
After installing the right arm, Ling Shu directly pulled out the left arm and threw it in the direction where Lotkar was moving.
The opponent was serious and his arms moved much faster than Lothkar's.
There is absolutely no way to survive Zero Shu's pursuit.
What can I do to avoid being buried here
Pray for reinforcements
How long will it take for such an unreliable thing to get here!
Yang Yu pinched his head and thought quickly.
Everything in front of him gradually slowed down because of Yang Yu's thinking.
Speaking of which, Zero Jutsu has that ability
He should be the best at killing people without them being seen.
Obviously, he could sneak into the military camp quietly, kill the colorful-haired masked man, and then leave quietly.
Why didn't anyone from the Curse Cult instruct him to do that
