Chapter 83 - 83 Mid-grade Dharma Body
In an instant, the Bone Breaking Needle and the saber collided hundreds of times, causing sparks to fly.
After a while, Song Shi took a step back.
“This guy actually withstood it. He’s indeed quite capable.”
Song Shi landed on the ground and panted. This person was like a deep lake. His strength was flexible and endless and no matter how Song Shi attacked, he could neutralize all of it.
“His strength and moves are not very different. The difference between me and him is still in terms of our energy. This person’s elemental energy is much stronger than mine. After adding the power of Dharma artifact, his power is extraordinary.”
Song Shi analyzed the gap between the two of them.
Be it cultivators or martial artists, the differences between different realms were roughly similar.
The energy in the bodies of Postnatal, Connate, or Qi Refinement cultivators were all in gaseous state. The difference was that the former was called Genuine Qi while the latter was Spiritual Energy.
If a martial artist broke through to the extraordinary realm, their Genuine Qi would transform into True Essence. After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm of Qi Refinement, their Spiritual Energy would transform into Spiritual Essence. Both could then be called Essence Energy!
If they continued to advance forward, the difference between the strength of a martial artist and an immortal cultivator would disappear.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, both would be able to condense their strength into a solid state. It was just that martial arts cultivators were used to calling this stage the True Core while immortal cultivators termed it the Golden Core realm.
But in fact, the power of this realm was nomological power.
There was a qualitative difference between the three energies of Qi, Origin, and Dharma. Therefore, even though Song Shi’s Treasure body was very powerful, he could not easily defeat this Martial Dao master even after using two small divine powers in a row.
If it was a comparison of Dharma arts and Dharma artifacts, he would be at a disadvantage. Fortunately, this guy was a Martial Dao master and his Dharma artifact and spells were very ordinary.
“My physical body is stronger than his. I can exhaust him to death!”
Song Shi could only use this stupid method. With a flash of his saber, he charged over again.
After one round.
A crisp sound rang out again.
After such a violent attack, the Precious Weapon that he had just taken out could not withstand the force of it and broke into pieces in his hand.
Without his weapon, Song Shi’s combat strength clearly decreased.
The Bone Breaking Needle attacked from a strange angle. Song Shi’s pupils constricted as he locked onto its trajectory. He dodged to the side and used the Phantom image Step, causing his figure to transform into a shadow.
Swoosh!
Suddenly his shadow shattered and dissipated.
Song Shi mysteriously appeared behind the other party. He circulated the Dragon Elephant Technique and fiery red True Energy surged in his body. Swiftly, he formed a seal with his left hand.
Lu~
The air around him fluctuated and a fire elephant condensed in his hand. It was huge, like a real elephant, but its entire body was burning with the power of fire.
The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard raised his other hand, and a large wave appeared, turning into a huge Wave that rushed towards the Fire Elephant.
The Fire Elephant crashed into the huge wave. Amidst the deafening sound, the flames were extinguished by the huge wave and the elephant’s body shattered.
“He also has a divine power!”
Song Shi was shocked. Then he immediately recalled that since he knew two lesser divine powers, the other party has probably also mastered a few.
Furthermore, his divine power was very powerful. Not only did it shatter the power of the Dragon Elephant Art, but it also swept Song Shi up into the air.
He felt as if he was enveloped by a real wave. He couldn’t even breathe. His body convulsed uncontrollably and he couldn’t use the Phantom image Steps anymore.
“Shit!”
Song Shi felt that something was wrong.
His advantage was that his physical body was strong, but once his movements were restricted, he would become a sitting target for others.
Swoosh!
The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard used the Bone Breaking Needle as a tool for assassination and threw it out. It pierced into Song Shi’s glabella and passed through the back of his head before being flying back as controlled by the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard.
Song Shi died in midair. When his corpse landed on the ground, the bloody hole between his eyebrows disappeared. He bounced up and rushed over again without any hesitation.
He had no more weapons on him to practice his weapon combat skills for the time being. So he could only practice his movement techniques and palm techniques.
With one step, four shadows instantly rushed out.
This was the effect of the perfected Phantom Image Step. The four Phantom images were enough to dazzle and confuse people.
Under Old Man Nightmare’s Crowd Control, the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard actually felt like he was fighting someone in a dream. After seeing Song Shi’s methods, he directly slashed forward with the bone-breaking needle.
An arc of cold light spread out and slashed horizontally at all the shadows.
Song Shi jumped up and the Phantom images followed suit, dodging the cold light.
Crack!
The cold light cut a wall far behind him in half. The top half slid to the ground, raising a ring of dust.
Without breaking Song Shi’s movement technique, the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard brandished their bone-breaking needles like brushes, sending out cold beams one after another.
Puchi!
A Phantom image was cut into pieces, but Song Shi also successfully closed the distance between them. The Iron Sand Palm struck his chest, and the blue water-element vital essence of the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was broken inch by inch by Song Shi’s Iron Sand Palm.
The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was sent flying. Just as Song Shi thought that he had the upper hand this time, the blue primeval essence suddenly transformed into a python that entangled him and the Bone Breaking Needle shot towards him.
“Dammit, he intentionally took a palm strike from me to distinguish which was my true body!”
It was too late for Song Shi to react. He had been killed again.
He had learned from zll his mistakes and knew how complicated a real battle was. Even if he had the upper hand on the surface, the situation could always around in the next moment.
...
If not for the fact that he had an immortal system, his short life would not have been enough time for him to learn.
After reviving again, Song Shi became much more cautious.
“Without a sure-kill attack, I can’t give him a chance. Even if I have a sure-kill attack, I still have to be careful. I have no idea what will happen in the next moment at all.”
After his mentality changed, Song Shi began to fight the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard back and forth with the help of his Phantom image Step.
After familiarizing himself with this person’s combat Style, Song Shi’s dodging efficiency kept increasing. For a moment, it was as if multiple Phantom images were attacking the guard at the same time.
At the same time, he realized that after his Vajra Dharma Body was fully activated, as long as he did not come into direct contact with the tip of the other party’s Dharma artifacts, there would be no harm caused to him even when he collided with him.
This allowed him to use his martial arts skills, the Unfettered Hand which was extremely versatile. Combined with the Phantom image Steps, he managed to completely surround the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard.
After ten rounds, Song Shi’s eyes were cold as he casually sent he Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard flying with a palm strike, while he managed to avoid the subsequent counterattack unharmed.
“It’s about time!”
Song Shi muttered and looked above his head.
The sky was already bright. It was time to send this guy on his way to the afterlife.
...
Now that he was familiar with this guy’s methods, he could kill this person any time.
Before killing him however, he had to make full use of his lethality.
With a thought, his True Energy stopped providing power to the diamond rune on his chest. Immediately, the golden light on his body dimmed and his defense level was reduced to the lowest.
After dispelling the runic power of the Vajra Dharma Body, Song Shi calmly walked towards the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guards who had just stood up.
Without any resisting, special Dharma artifact like the Bone Breaking Needles naturally pierced through his head.
Upon noticing Song Shi’s abnormal behavior, the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard’s dull eyes flickered for a moment. Then, the fluctuation was covered by a gray fog.
Truthfully, Song Shi felt that the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was a little unlucky. If he had not been deliberately targeted by Old Man Nightmare, with his cultivation, he could have broken free from the Crowd Control a long time ago.
In the end, the power of the spell on his body was too strong. Although he could sense some abnormalities, he was still unable to break free from this nightmare.
Old Man Nightmare did not expect that the person he controlled would be used by Song Shi to farm deaths. If he knew, he would not have left so abruptly.
Song Shi lay comfortably on the spot to die. After a hundred times, the golden light on his body shone brightly.
His low-grade Dharma Body had been upgraded to mid-grade!
