Chapter 224 CHAPTER 223: The Skill Catcher Talisman
"Bony, you have never used your true beast form while fighting with anyone. Are you that stubborn to get this Little Girl? Just tell me brother, what is really going on?" The old man asked.
"Stop fooling around! You damn good for nothing drunkard. Take my attack." The black Celestial Wolf responded and shouted, "Celestial wind slash, activate!" And he opened its mouth and a giant blade made up of wind elemental formed just above his mouth.
"Go!" The Black Celestial Wolf shouted.
The wind elemental giant blade moved toward the old man quickly.
A long sword appeared on the hand of the old man. He then made a slashing motion toward the incoming wind elemental giant blade.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The wind elemental giant blade was destroyed in the air.
The black tiger then quickly appeared beside the old man and made a slashing motion with its long nails. Then, the two started engaging in the melee. Both of them fought equally.
On the other side, Dao started chanting a spell and finally shouted, "The Ultimate Lightning Intent, Come forth!"
Then multicolored thick bolts of lighting started falling down at him from the sky. All of them hit his body and soon they all transformed into a bow.
"So, you are also a bow user. Hahaha, today I can finally fight again with my bow and arrow." Shivarjuna started laughing with excitement. He then shouted and raised his right hand, "Gandiva, come here!" A majestic bow consisting of 108 celestial strings appeared on his hand. It was a celestial bow that was known to be heavier, longer, and stronger than other normal bows. Precious gems were stubbed on it. It had 108 strong celestial strings and was capable of firing divine arrows. A quicker one also appeared behind his back, filled with arrows. This quiver never ran out of arrows.
"Good, good. It will be more interesting to fight with bow users than others." Dao also replied excitedly.
He pulled the string of his lightning bow and an arrow made up of lightning appeared.
After that, he started chanting a spell and finally shouted, "Lightning Python, activate!" Then, he released the arrow. In the air, it turned into a large python and flew toward Shivarjuna. It then stopped in the air just above him.
Shivarjuna started chanting in Sanskrit and finally shouted, "Garuda, come forth!" Then, a black color arrow with the shape of a bird in its arrowhead appeared in his hand.
He then put in on the Gandiva bow and shot toward the giant Python in the air.
The black arrow quickly turned into a divine eagle-like sunbird.
Screech! Screech! Screech!
The giant crimson color bird cried sharply and flew up closer toward the giant Python. Then, the two began to engage in a melee fight soon after. After a few seconds, the giant bird managed to take a bite of the snake.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The giant Python started hissing shrilly in pain. Taking advantage of this, the claw of garuda poked on its eyes and blinded the giant Python. After a few minutes, the giant bird managed to kill it. The giant Python turned into a white lightning bolt and tried to return back to Dao. But, the Garuda was even faster. It appeared before the lightning bolt and swallowed it inside its stomach. At the same time, Dao screamed once in pain as there were some bits of his soul inside that lightning.
It burped with satisfaction. Then it glared at Dao and tried to fly toward him.
"Garuda, that is enough. You can come back." Shivarjuna said and the giant bird disappeared at that spot and reappeared as a black arrow in his hand. He then put it inside the quiver on his back.
"I kinda started to get bored. Why don\'t we finish with our next attacks? Use your ultimate technique. " He suggested.
"Alright, let\'s finish with this," Dao replied. Then he took out a simple arrow and started chanting a spell and infused all of his essence qi inside it. He finally shouted, "Hou Yi\'s nine Suns extermination arrow, activate!" Then, he released the arrow from his lightning bow.
The arrow flew toward Shivarjuna. From the look of it, the arrow seemed like a very normal arrow. But, the power behind it could shoot down the nine suns in the sky.
"Ah, the immortal cultivator has such a powerful type of skill. Amazing, I will try that Astra skill." Shivarjuna praised the simple-looking arrow in the air. Then, he started a mantra in Sanskrit again and finally shouted, "Raudrastra, come forth!" A violet color arrow appeared in his right hand. Then, he shot it toward the direction of the incoming black arrow.
(Raudrastra is an intense Astra as represented by its name, literally translated from Sanskrit as "furious". It was owned by Hindu God, Shiva the destroyer. )
At the same time, an old man and a giant Black dog were currently fighting at another place.
"Brother, you have become weaker. " The giant Black dog said while they exchanged blows from each other.
"Bony, you are wrong. I am not becoming weaker. It\'s you who is getting stronger." The old man said.
The black dog suddenly stopped and opened his mouth widely. He then started channeling a spell from his mouth. Soon, a violet color energy ball with numerous black spots on it started forming just above his widely opened mouth. And finally, it had been completed.
Then, he shot it toward the old man.
"Hmmm!" The old man sighed. He then took out a fancy pen and along with a long talisman paper.
Then, he wrote down many divine strokes of Chinese letters while infusing with his essence. He had finally completed drawing the very complicated symbols on the talisman paper.
At the exact time, the violet color energy ball reached the Old man and was just about to hit him.
"Activate!" The old man shouted and flung the long paper talisman toward the incoming energy ball.
The frighteningly powerful energy ball was absorbed inside the long paper talisman.
"Oh, brother. Is it, the Skill catcher talisman that you have been researching for your whole life? Congratulation brother! You have finally formulated it. With this, no essence qi skills can ever harm you again. Tchs, what a drag! That leaves me the only option, which is to fight you in melee. Alright, I am coming." The Celestial Black Wolf praised his bother sincerely and shouted. He jumped toward him.
The Old man put the paper talisman and the brush inside his space ring. He then blocked the blow from the sharp claws of the giant Celestial Black Wolf with his long sword.
Then, the two started fighting fiercely again. They were equally agile. As they were martial brothers from the same master, they seemed to understand each others\' skills thoroughly. So, they fought out like and knew exactly which strike might come the next moment.
After 10 minutes, they separated and kept some distance between the two.
"Bony, I am really proud of you. Your melee skills have improved very much from the last time we duel." The old man praised him. He realized something and asked, "Brother, it seems like you are trying to delay me and focus my attention here, right? So, what are you really scheming? "
"Heeheehee, Brother, you have realized that too late." The Black Celestial Wolf chuckled and said. He then shouted, " Bloodline Skill, my 2nd self, activate! Do it now!"
"Don\'t brother," The Old Man shouted too.
At that time, a Scrawny Man appeared suddenly just beside Little Qiuying who was currently indulged in playing \'The Soul Zither of Phoenix and Dragon\'. He tried to hold the hand of Little Qiuying.
The two phoenixes who were currently playing in the air suddenly stopped and glared at the Scrawny man. They had contrasting personalities even though they were twin sisters. The eyes of docile one among them suddenly flickered with the crimson color for a moment.
At that exact moment, when the Scrawny man was just about to touch the little girl, his body started burning. It was the Phoenix Origin Essence Fire which was feared by every immortal in the 100 Universes.
"Aaahhh!" The Scrawny man screamed once in pain and his body was burnt to dust within a fraction of a second.
Little Xiuying also began to be aware of it. So, she stopped playing the Zither. She then turned her focus toward the screen.
At the exact moment, the original body who was in the shape of the Celestial Black Wolf started crying shrilly with pain. Some part of his consciousness linked to his clone body was burned along with the clone. So, he felt intense pain and a splitting headache in his head suddenly. And soon, he calmed himself down.
But the next moment a Giant crimson bird appeared near to him and shot an energy blast sending the Black Celestial Wolf in the air. And he finally landed far away on the ground.
The Phoenix bird appeared just beside him after he landed and tried to make the last blow.
