Chapter 971 971: Final Winner!
“These stone puppets are so much more annoying than I thought!” Xi’er muttered in vexation.
Lucia and Yaya nodded their head in agreement.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue wobbled weakly as her face turned extremely pale like a piece of white paper after she used the [Soul Slaying Sword] to attack Chief Head Chi.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Tang Li Xue felt very dizzy until she kneeled weakly on the ground. Not only did she bleed profusely from her nose, but she also coughed a few mouthfuls of blood.
“Sister Xue!” Xi’er yelled in panic as she hastily approached Tang Li Xue along with Yaya and Lucia.
“It is all right. I am okay.” Tang Li Xue muttered softly to reassure Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia.
Tang Li Xue’s spirit might be strong enough to wield [Soul Slaying Sword], but her current body’s condition was clearly too fragile to withstand its power.
It was like a newborn baby trying to use a shotgun to shoot at enemies.
Just the recoil from the shotgun was more than enough to hurt the newborn baby badly.
Tang Li Xue’s current situation was exactly the same as that.
Xi’er gently picked Tang Li Xue up and put her on Lucia’s back while saying in a solemn tone: “I will leave Sister Xue to you guys. You guys only need to focus on protecting Sister Xue from any harm. Leave that golden armored guy to me.”
Lucia and Yaya nodded their heads again to show that they understood.
Dozens of stone puppet soldiers charged fearlessly toward them with spears in their hands for the umpteenth time.
[Hurricane Barrier]~!
[Golden Light Spell]~!
Lucia and Yaya hastily blocked their attacks with their respective skills to protect Tang Li Xue, who was still lying on Lucia’s back, while Xi’er jumped high and used those stone puppet soldiers’ heads as stepping stones.
Xi’er swiftly rushed toward Chief Head Chi before he completely recovered from Tang Li Xue’s [Soul Slaying Sword] attack!
Of course, it was not that easy to recover from the soul attack.
The damage to the soul was actually much more fatal and extremely hard to heal for all cultivators than any physical damage.
Any cultivator would rather receive dozens of fatal physical injuries than one soul injury.
Even someone as tough and strong as Chief Head Chi was brought down to his knees by the soul injury caused by Tang Li Xue’s [Soul Slaying Sword] attack.
Not to mention that Chief Head Chi’s cultivation level was at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul Stage, so his soul was already many times stronger than the others.
Despite that, his powerful soul was still almost cut in half by Tang Li Xue’s [Soul Slaying Sword] attack!
Chief Head Chi’s eyes turned bloodshot. His snot and saliva flowed out continuously from his nose and mouth.
Even his expression had become so ugly and distorted, like a demon.
It could be imagined from his reaction that the injury to his soul was so painful that it was almost unbearable. He could not even think straight anymore now.
Xi’er planned to take this opportunity to finish off Chief Head Chi once and for all.
But when Xi’er jumped toward Chief Head Chi and transformed her [Sword of Disaster] into the black spear form, Chief Head Chi suddenly grabbed his dual golden maces, then swung them at the incoming Xi’er!
CLAAANG~!
Although Chief Head Chi could not think straight anymore because of the serious injury to his soul, but the instinct he honed in the battlefield for so many years still made him not an easy opponent to deal with!
After Xi’er’s black spear clashed with Chief Head Chi’s dual golden maces, she was forcefully flung into the air!
But Xi’er skillfully somersaulted in mid-air and kicked the ceiling, then flashed down toward Chief Head Chi again!
‘Transform, Hammer Form~!’ Xi’er thought as the black spear in her grasp changed into a huge heavy black hammer!
Xi’er swung the heavy black hammer vertically with all of her strength toward Chief Head Chi’s head!
BOOOOOOOM~!
Unfortunately, right before Xi’er’s black hammer could hit Chief Head Chi, Chief Head Chi already reflexively crossed his dual golden maces right above her head to block Xi’er’s hammer strike!
“So, you can still block that? But so what?! I want to see how many hits you can block!” Xi’er angrily said as she raised the heavy black hammer in her grasp and swung it down rapidly again and again!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
Chief Head Chi’s body was hammered down until more than half of his body was sunk into the hard stone floor!
Chief Head Chi gritted his teeth before he let out a deafening roar: “GROOOAARR~!”
Chief Head Chi angrily jumped up from the hole as he merged his dual golden maces into a heavy golden hammer and swung it at Xi’er!
This was what Xi’er had been waiting for!
Xi’er did not plan to block Chief Head Chi’s attack at all as she also swung her black hammer at Chief Head Chi!
BAAAANGG~! BAAANG~!
Chief Head Chi’s golden hammer struck Xi’er’s body from the right side, while Xi’er’s black hammer struck Chief Head Chi’s head from the left side!
Xi’er’s body was thrown off like a cannonball until she crashed heavily onto the stone wall!
Thick black death energy gushed out from Xi’er’s body as it only took a few moments for Xi’er to completely recover after her body was almost smashed into a meat patty by Chief Head Chi’s golden hammer.
Meanwhile, Chief Head Chi’s body spun rapidly in the air as he bounced more than a dozen times onto the ground like a tennis ball.
But he could easily stand up again after that since he had an almost invulnerable defense to physical attack, so he was only lightly injured by Xi’er’s heavy hammer attack at best.
“GROOOAARR~!” Chief Head Chi roared as he angrily dashed toward Xi’er with a heavy golden hammer in his hands.
“GRAAAAH~!” Xi’er also shouted loudly as he rushed at Chief Head Chi with a heavy black hammer in her grasp.
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
After Chief Head Chi and Xi’er got closer to each other, both of them struck each other with their hammers again and again without any intention of defending themselves.
It was an all-out close-quarters brawl without defense!
Xi’er hit Chief Head Chi, then Chief Head Chi hit Xi’er back!
Again and again!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
Chief Head Chi relied on his unbreakable defense, while Xi’er relied on her undead body that could recover completely no matter what kind of damage she received!
Despite the high intensity of their battle, but they actually could not do much to each other.
Chief Head Chi could not kill Xi’er, while Xi’er could not break Chief Head Chi’s defense.
If Chief Head Chi could still think clearly like before, he would definitely not fight like this and decide to target the others like Lucia, Yaya, or Tang Li Xue.
But after his soul was seriously injured by Tang Li Xue’s [Soul Slaying Sword], Chief Head Chi could only act according to his instinct right now.
In fact, if it were the other Nascent Soul Masters who received the same soul injury, they would have already passed out because of it.
No one had thought that when their battle got more and more intense, Xi’er actually changed her strategy halfway all of a sudden!
“Transform, Shield Form~!” Xi’er suddenly yelled as the heavy black hammer in her grasp changed form into a thick black shield!
Chief Head Chi did not care at all about Xi’er’s weapon transformation as he still swung his heavy golden hammer toward Xi’er’s thick black shield!
BAAAAAANG~!
Xi’er’s thick black shield was sent flying by Chief Head Chi’s heavy hammer strike!
Chief Head Chi thought he had already won since Xi’er had lost her weapon, but who knew that Xi’er was actually no longer behind the thick black shield!
Chief Head Chi widened his eyes in surprise, then his battle instinct quickly sensed that someone attacked him from behind!
It was already too late for Chief Head Chi to react or dodge the sneak attack from behind, but Chief Head Chi had high confidence in his unbreakable defense!
As long as it was not the special attack targeting his soul like Tang Li Xue’s [Soul Slaying Sword], it should not be able to cause any significant damage to him!
Unfortunately, he was really wrong this time…
PUUUUFF~!
A glittering golden trident pierced through Chief Head Chi’s body from behind!
“No way… How could it be…” Chief Head Chi muttered in shock and disbelief.
Yes, the glittering golden trident wielded by Xi’er right now was Yaya’s [Ocean God Trident]!
The second effect of the [Ocean God Trident] was clearly the nemesis for the Chief Head Chi’s unbreakable defense!
[Effect 2: Absolute Defense Penetration: Any defense equal to or below 500% of the user’s total strength could be obliterated, and any Damage Reduction would be ignored.]
With Yaya’s current Strength Stat, she might not be able to break Chief Head Chi’s defense, but it would be a completely different story if Xi’er was the one who wields it.
Xi’er cleverly led Chief Head Chi step by step when she dragged Chief Head Chi to fight at close range without blocking or evading each other’s attack.
After that, Xi’er suddenly used her black shield as a distraction while Yaya secretly cast [Traceless Wind Cover] to make her invisible and [Wind Guardian Blessing] to temporarily increase her speed.
Xi’er also borrowed Yaya’s [Ocean God Trident] before she launched a fatal sneak attack from behind.
“No… I… cannot…” Chief Head Chi gritted his teeth as the fresh blood flowed profusely from his mouth and nose.
It seemed he still refused to give up and planned to take out something from his spatial ring.
