Chapter 162 Two Asuras Caught in a Pincer Attack, Bronze Halberd Breaks
The bronze coffin door shattered.
Hundreds of door panels, enveloped in residual blue energy, scattered and flew outwards from the main star gate.
Zhou Xuanheng raised his hand and pressed down.
The silver and black star-shaped lines spread out rapidly, blocking all the door pieces flying towards the city's defensive array.
Marquis Zhenxing swept his sword across the ground.
The black blade light transformed into a semicircle, slicing another fragment of the coffin into dust.
But at this moment, few people are paying attention to the aftermath.
All eyes in the entire Dragon Abyss City were fixed on the area below the main star gate.
One original form.
A bloody shadow.
Two Asura bodies of the Eight Divisions.
Lin Yuan stood to the left of the bronze gatekeeper.
Eight arms, dark gold.
The dark gold star ring behind him slowly rotated, and the crack between his brows, pressed out by the sect leader's gaze, had not yet completely closed.
A drop of dark gold blood slid down her cheek.
But before the drop of blood could fall, it was swallowed back by the star-shaped markings on the skin.
Blood Shadow stood on the right.
Also, all eight arms are outstretched.
The cracks on the dark gold mask have healed.
Deep within his chest, a phantom soul core slowly pulsed.
thump.
With each throbbing, the dark gold blood patterns within Blood Shadow's body would light up.
It no longer resembles a clone that could collapse at any moment due to excessive weight.
It's more like a true Dark Gold Asura with a skeleton, flesh, and soul core.
The bronze gatekeeper took a step back.
This step is very light.
However, the ground beneath its feet was covered with a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks.
Its four false eye sockets stared intently at the real body and the blood shadow.
The true eye in the chest is completely closed.
I dare not look.
The sect leader's thought had just arrived.
The second anchor projection was torn off.
The bronze coffin door was breached from the inside.
The human in front of us was not only not banished, but also underwent another qualitative change inside the coffin.
Even that clone gained an independent soul core at the same time.
This kind of enemy can no longer be judged using the common sense of real-world martial artists.
The bronze gatekeeper gripped his halberd tightly.
"You swallowed the sect leader's eye."
Lin Yuan slowly stretched out his eight arms.
"He only swallowed a little."
"Too little."
These words were spoken.
The bronze gatekeeper's four prosthetic eyes contracted violently at the same time.
Countless people throughout the city who heard this felt as if their hearts had been struck by something heavy.
That was the sect leader's gaze.
Its mere appearance caused the bronze coffin door to crack extensively.
Lin Yuan's brow was also pressed and a wound appeared.
But when he actually said it, he only uttered two words.
too little.
Standing atop the black tower, Gu Changye couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"It still tastes the same."
His subordinate's throat went dry.
"My lord, what level has he reached now?"
Gu Changye looked at the two eight-armed Asuras under the main star's gate.
"You still want to explain him using the concept of spiritual realm?"
The subordinate was stunned.
Gu Changye opened the black notebook.
"It's true that you're at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm."
"It's true that they can stand up to someone who's only half a step away from becoming a king."
"These two things are contradictory when applied to other people."
"It doesn't contradict him."
He picked up his pen and wrote:
Nine hundred thousand times.
Extreme Blood Shadow Soul Core.
Even if the main body and the clone are separated by a door or a layer, they can still be stably connected.
Blood Shadow has officially gained independent carrying capacity.
As he wrote this, Gu Changye looked up.
"The Bronze Gatekeeper is no longer facing a clone that is about to be exhausted."
"They are two Asuras."
……
Outer ring of the main star gate.
Zhou Xuanheng also noticed the change in the blood shadow.
He knew best that the most difficult problem to solve with clones was not combat power.
Rather, it carries.
The farther the main body is from the clone, the greater the loss of power.
The longer the battle lasts, the more likely the internal structure of the clone will collapse.
The hidden compartment behind the door can directly sever most of the connections between the clones.
After Lin Yuan entered the bronze coffin, Blood Shadow not only did not lose control, but became more stable.
This means that the connection between Lin Yuan and Xue Ying is no longer just a matter of ordinary blood and qi.
Zhou Xuanheng looked at the blood shadow's chest.
There was a very faint dark gold core there.
"Soul core..."
His voice was deep.
The deputy envoy of the star patrol stood behind him, his expression one of shock.
"My lord, can clones also possess soul cores?"
"Ordinary clones cannot."
Zhou Xuanheng slowly said:
"But it is clearly no longer an ordinary clone."
He looked up at the two anchors behind the bronze gatekeeper.
Just now, Lin Yuan tore apart the second anchor projection inside the coffin, causing the fluctuation of the second anchor body to decrease by nearly 20%.
This is the best opportunity right now.
Zhou Xuanheng no longer hesitated.
"Star Guardian!"
"The Star Law Frontline does not lock down the goalkeeper."
"Change to the second anchor!"
The twelve Star Guardians looked up at the same time.
Someone asked instinctively:
"My lord, if we don't restrict the Bronze Goalkeeper, won't it...?"
Zhou Xuanheng interrupted him directly.
"Restricting it now is not our business."
His gaze fell on the two eight-armed Asuras.
"We're anchoring."
"To prevent it from being restored through the door."
Marquis Zhenxing did not object upon hearing the order.
He swung his sword and withdrew directly from the front lines of the Bronze Gatekeeper battle.
"All the turrets of the Zhenxing Army."
"Change targets."
"Smash the goalkeeper's chain behind his back!"
Qin Zhu also put away the Mountain and River Candle Seal, no longer engaging the Bronze Gatekeeper in a direct confrontation.
The three combatants, all at the Marquis level, simultaneously changed their tactics at that moment.
Don't shoot the goalkeeper.
Cut off their escape route.
The long, silver-black star-patterned chain passed over the bronze gatekeeper and coiled around the second anchor.
The Zhenxing Army's heavy artillery adjusted its angle, and the silver beams concentrated on the dark blue door chain behind it.
Qin Zhu raised his hand to suppress the edge of the main star gate crack, preventing more residual energy from flowing in from behind the gate.
The bronze gatekeeper's four fake eyes swung around.
"Do you dare to cut off my way home?"
Zhou Xuanheng said coldly:
"Take care of yourself first."
The words fell.
Lin Yuan made a move.
No notification was given.
There was no build-up of momentum.
The void beneath the feet of the Eight Asura Body suddenly caved in.
The next instant, he was already in front of the Bronze Goalkeeper's chest.
Eight dark gold fists blasted out simultaneously from eight completely different angles.
skull.
Shoulders.
Both arms.
Breastplate false eye.
The handle of a halberd.
Each punch was compressed to an extremely heavy weight.
There was no blast wave preceding it.
The power explodes suddenly from a single point the moment the fist lands.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The bronze gatekeeper's massive body trembled violently.
The left scapula was dented on the spot.
A fake doorway was struck head-on by the dark gold fist, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.
His right arm, which was gripping the halberd, was also shaken and deflected outwards.
The bronze gatekeeper roared in anger.
Its other giant hand swept across.
The bronze door pattern on his palm transformed into dozens of sharp blades, slashing towards Lin Yuan's eight arms.
But the giant hand had not yet landed.
The blood shadow had already appeared below its wrist.
Lin Yuan didn't need to be distracted to control it.
The Blood Shadow's chest core automatically determined the attack trajectory.
Of the eight arms, four are used to lock the bronze wrists.
The other four arms simultaneously blasted towards the wrist joint.
"The Great Wilderness is Desolate."
Blood Shadow's voice came from behind the dark gold mask for the first time.
Very low.
It's cold.
It was similar to Lin Yuan's voice, yet it carried a chilling, emotionless quality.
boom--!
The four dark gold fist forces collapsed at the same point.
A popping sound came from inside the bronze gatekeeper's wrist.
Arm armor split open.
Three important door patterns were broken at the same time.
The giant hand that was about to sweep towards Lin Yuan lost its power and fell downwards.
Countless people throughout the city were completely stunned.
Blood Shadow spoke.
It can even autonomously choose attack nodes and unleash combat techniques.
Zhou Xuanheng's eyes widened in shock.
Qin Guanlan slowly exhaled.
"It really does have its own core now."
Qin Zhu said in a deep voice:
"It is not the birth of independent consciousness."
"It is Lin Yuan's fighting spirit, which operates independently within its body through the soul core."
Qin Guanlan gazed at the battlefield, his eyes growing increasingly intense.
"one person."
"Two bodies."
"The same set of combat judgments."
"No need to get distracted."
"There was no mismatch."
"This is more troublesome than two near-King level figures joining forces."
Even when two people are working together, differences in their thinking will inevitably exist.
But Lin Yuan is different from Xue Ying.
Blood Shadow is him.
He is also Blood Shadow.
No openings are needed on either side.
Not even a glance is needed.
This allows for the most precise double-teaming.
……
The Bronze Goalkeeper was clearly aware of this as well.
Its left side was suppressed by Lin Yuan at close range.
The right giant arm was blasted apart by the blood shadow, breaking the door pattern.
If they continue to attack like this, its massive body will become a target.
The bronze gatekeeper suddenly plunged his halberd into the ground.
"The door shook!"
The end of the halberd fell down.
A ring of dark blue shockwave exploded outwards from it.
Lin Yuan crossed his eight arms in front of him to block the way.
The Ultimate Star Body stabilized the physical body.
He only retreated three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
Blood Shadow's soul core had already locked onto the trajectory of the door shockwave before the shockwave even appeared.
Its eight arms simultaneously gripped the bronze goalkeeper's damaged wrist, using the force of the shockwave to pull him backward.
Stab it!
The entire bronze gauntlet was torn off.
A surge of dark blue residual energy erupted.
The blood shadow did not immediately devour it.
Instead, he threw the wrist guard directly at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan raised one of his hands.
Five fingers gripped the bronze wrist guard.
The Extreme Star Furnace rotates.
The wrist guards disintegrated rapidly.
[Devouring the Bronze Goalkeeper's Gauntlet Core]
[In the process of removing goalkeeper-level contamination]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 904000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 908000]
After 900,000, the energy required for compression increases again.
The entire bronze wrist guard was only pushed eight thousand times.
Lin Yuan was not surprised.
He looked up.
There's still a lot on the bronze gatekeeper's body.
For the first time, the bronze goalkeeper was truly anxious.
Its torn gauntlets could not be restored.
Because Zhou Xuanheng had already used the Star Law Array Line to entangle the second anchor.
The Zhenxing Army's artillery fire relentlessly bombarded the door chain.
The replenishment energy coming from the main gate is rapidly decreasing.
"Xinglu slave!"
The bronze gatekeeper turned all four of his fake eyes toward Zhou Xuanheng at the same time.
It wants to sever the Star Law Array first.
But Lin Yuan didn't give it a chance.
Press the front of the main body down.
Blood Shadow wrapped around the severed wrist from the side.
Two beings with the Eightfold Asura Body and sixteen dark gold arms simultaneously unleashed their punches.
While applying the breastplate.
While applying the arm armor.
One side locks the halberd.
While tearing the door pattern.
The entire battlefield was left with only dense and heavy roars.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each punch, large pieces of bronze rust exploded.
The bronze gate will keep retreating.
first step.
The second step.
third step.
After it stepped into reality, it crushed the Star Law Network with a single blow, forcing back three late-stage Marquis-level experts.
But now, he was being forced back towards the main star gate by a boy in an old school uniform and his bloody shadow.
In the inner ring defense line.
Song Li stared blankly at the sky.
"Senior Blood and Lin Yuan..."
"Who is stronger?"
Ji Qinghe paused for a moment.
"This question is no longer relevant."
Why?
Ji Qinghe looked at the eight-armed blood shadow that was completely synchronized with Lin Yuan.
"Because they were originally one person."
Ning Wushuang slowly loosened her grip on the sword.
He once even considered competing with Lin Yuan for a place on the freshman ranking list.
But looking back now, it just seems absurd.
It's not that he can't beat Lin Yuan.
Rather, he didn't even have the right to stand in front of the other party and let Lin Yuan take a serious look at him.
Chu Tianheng looked up at Lin Yuan and said softly:
"From this day forward, there will be no more Qin Zhao, who ranked third on the new student list, in Longyuan City."
"No one will discuss where Lin Yuan ranks anymore."
"Because the list can't contain him."
……
The bronze gate will continue to retreat.
The dark blue patterns on the door beneath its feet had faded considerably.
Two of the four false eyes on the chest armor were shattered by Lin Yuan in succession.
The remaining two are also covered with cracks.
It wanted to open its true eyes.
But as soon as the true eye cracked open, the dark golden starry sky in Lin Yuan's eyes lit up simultaneously.
Reverse gaze.
The bronze gatekeeper immediately closed his eyes again.
Can not watch.
Once the True Eye is activated, the Gate Devourer can track the Second Anchor again, and even pinpoint the direction of the Gate Master.
It can only perceive the battlefield by relying on its fake eyes and door patterns.
But the prosthetic eye kept getting smashed.
The range of perception is getting narrower and narrower.
For the first time, the Bronze Gate will find itself in a truly passive position.
"Get out of here!"
It roared.
He gripped the bronze halberd again with both hands.
At the damaged wrist guard, numerous dark blue patterns were forcibly wrapped around, temporarily fixing the hand in place.
It did not release any more ranged halberd beams.
Instead, he channeled all his power into the war halberd itself.
Above the halberd's edge, the silhouette of a massive bronze door slowly emerged.
Zhou Xuanheng's expression changed drastically.
"It's going to break its own battle halberd!"
Marquis Zhenxing was puzzled.
"Self-destruction?"
"The weapon of the bronze gatekeeper is connected to the gate pattern on his body."
Zhou Xuanheng quickly said:
"Once it breaks itself, all the residual energy accumulated behind the doors in the weapon will explode simultaneously."
"It will use its battle halberd to destroy this outer battlefield!"
The bronze goalkeeper also knew that his escape route was being blocked.
If this drags on any longer, the second anchor will be completely restricted by the star law, and it won't even have a chance to return behind the gate.
Since they couldn't suppress the Gate Devourer.
Then let's destroy the Longyuan defense line first.
They forced Lin Yuan to save the city.
The bronze gatekeeper gripped the middle of the halberd with both hands.
It suddenly folded to both sides.
click -
A crack appeared in the center of the halberd.
Within the crack, a blinding blue light shone intensely.
The energy source of the entire outer ring battlefield was drawn there.
One of the instructors from the observation institute turned pale.
"Energy intensity exceeds that of a half-step king!"
"Once the battle halberd explodes, the outer triple defensive line will be wiped out!"
Zhou Xuanheng immediately activated the Star Law Domain.
"Everyone, prepare for the impact!"
Marquis Zhenxing stood with his sword drawn, blocking the path of the first wave of enemies.
Qin Zhu also unfolded the Mountain and River Candle Seal.
But they all knew it.
Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to stop a goalkeeper's weapon from self-destructing.
The bronze gatekeeper stared intently at Lin Yuan with its four shattered fake eyes.
"The Gate Swallower".
"Don't you like to swallow?"
"This halberd."
"for you."
Lin Yuan looked at the bronze halberd that was cracking.
A system notification appeared before my eyes.
[Detection indicates the core of the bronze halberd is about to self-destruct]
[Current Energy Level: Half-Step to Kinghood Limit]
[Can be consumed and refined]
[Warning: The energy level is too high in an instant; forcibly absorbing and refining it may overload the physical body.]
Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
Half a step towards becoming a king.
This time, it was indeed quite heavy.
His mind stirred slightly.
Blood Shadow instantly appeared on the other side of the battle halberd.
The main body has eight arms.
Blood Shadow Eight Arms.
Sixteen dark gold hands simultaneously gripped the crumbling bronze halberd.
The bronze gatekeeper was taken aback.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Yuan exerted his strength with all eight arms.
Dark gold star patterns spread wildly along the halberd's body.
Blood Shadow's chest core throbbed violently, projecting a portion of the power of its ultimate star soul onto it.
Between the two Eight-Part Asura bodies, a complete dark gold devouring loop was formed.
One end is the main star furnace.
One end is the Blood Shadow Soul Core.
The immense energy generated by the self-destruction of the battle halberd was simultaneously locked by sixteen hands.
The flow is diverted to both sides.
Then it all flowed into Lin Yuan's body.
The Ultimate Star Furnace suddenly boiled.
[Begin refining the core of the bronze battle halberd]
[Energy Overload]
[Ultimate Star Body Capture Activated]
[Extreme Blood Shadow Soul Core Diversion Opens]
On all eight of Lin Yuan's arms, flesh and blood tore open simultaneously.
Dark gold blood gushed forth.
The blood patterns on Blood Shadow's body also cracked one by one.
But none of the sixteen hands loosened their grip.
The cracks in the halberd grew larger and larger.
The azure light wanted to burst forth, but it was firmly suppressed within the halberd by the dark gold blood energy.
Lin Yuan looked up at the bronze gatekeeper.
"You gave it to me."
"I'll take it."
next moment.
The main body and the blood shadow exert their power simultaneously.
It's not about preventing the halberd from breaking.
Instead, it actively breaks off along the crack.
Click—!
The bronze halberd was completely broken in two.
The expected explosion did not occur.
All the azure energy within the broken halberd was forcibly held back by the dark gold devouring loop.
Half of it entered Lin Yuan's palm.
Half of it entered the Blood Shadow Soul Core.
Subsequently, it was all poured into the Extreme Dao Star Furnace through the Soul Core Channel.
The system is beeping wildly.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 912000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 919000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 927000]
Lin Yuan's body was covered in dark gold star patterns that shone brightly.
The skin on all eight arms kept cracking, but it quickly healed under the support of the Extreme Star Body.
The blood-shadow's body also repeatedly broke down and reformed.
However, the aura of the bronze halberd was rapidly diminishing.
The bronze gatekeeper fell completely silent for the first time.
It looked at its empty hands.
Then he looked at the two broken halberds that were being held by the main body and the blood shadow respectively.
Soldiers behind the gate.
It was broken.
Self-destruct energy.
It was swallowed up too.
Lin Yuan tightened his grip.
The half-halberd in his hand rapidly shrank, transforming into a ball of dark blue bronze remnant energy.
The same applies to Blood Shadow's side.
Ultimately, both remnants of energy were simultaneously dragged into the Star Furnace.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 933000]
Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.
The wounds on the eight arms are closing.
Blood Shadow's soul core in his chest has stabilized again.
The bronze gatekeeper, now stripped of his halberd, appeared empty for the first time.
Its most powerful weapon is gone.
The second anchor was locked by Zhou Xuanheng.
The door chain was mostly broken by the Zhenxing Army's heavy artillery.
The sect leader's gaze had just left.
The bronze coffin had already been eaten and worn by Lin Yuan.
Its path home is disappearing.
Lin Yuan and Xue Ying stood on the left and right, respectively.
At the same time, take a step forward.
"I've finished eating the halberd."
Lin Yuan looked at it.
"Now."
"Your turn."
