Chapter 156: Ruan Yunxiong Case (5) In an instant, thousands of stars appeared...
"Dang!" The sword blade hit the stone giant fiercely, and flames splashed instantly.
The stone giant didn't move.
Si Ling was silent for three seconds. Seeing it swing its sword towards her, she dove several meters away, steadied herself, and was about to cast a spell when some distant memory suddenly flashed through her mind. The spell on her lips froze, and she tentatively uttered a sentence: "Taiyin Xuansha...?"
The giant sword in his hand suddenly hummed, but then returned to silence in an instant.
Seeing the stone giant's arms tremble, the black wind transformed into a giant python and roared towards him. Si Ling quickly drew his giant sword and shouted again: "Taiyin Xuansha!"
"Buzz——" In an instant, brilliant blue and white light converged towards the giant sword in her hand from all directions. Si Ling's eyes lit up, and she swung her sword towards the black wind. As soon as the sword blade touched the black wind, the black wind dissipated instantly.
"Roar!" the stone giant roared furiously, suddenly leaping several feet into the air before slamming down to the ground. The cavern shook violently, and even though Si Ling was suspended in mid-air, he was tossed about by the currents. Suddenly, amidst the thick smoke and rubble, several black arrows pierced the air. Si Ling's eyes trembled, and he transformed his giant sword into a nimble pair of blades, cleaving several of them in quick succession.
Suddenly, she heard a strange sound in the smoke and dust. Si Ling held her breath and looked ahead. Suddenly, she saw a stone pillar as thick as a bowl coming straight towards her. She quickly stepped back and slashed with her sword twice, but it was of little use. She had to continue dodging.
She retreated while looking for the stone giant, but her Nether Vision was ineffective. All she could see was thick smoke and dust, with no trace of the stone giant.
Si Ling frowned, concentrating on determining the location through breath, and suddenly she felt the air pressure drop. She looked up and saw a gray hand pressing down fiercely!
Si Ling dodged with a mid-air flip, and just as she was about to flip out of the giant hand's range, it suddenly grew larger, instantly holding her in its palm. Si Ling dodged again, and the same thing happened again. Seeing that the hand was no longer close enough to the ground, she tried again, clasping her hands in a sword flower: "Golden Lotus Protect Me!"
With a clang, the lotus flower under his feet blossomed, and his giant hand was bounced back several feet when it touched the petals.
Si Ling sat cross-legged peacefully, and was lifted up by the lotus to fly back into the air. She touched the petals at her side with a complicated expression: The Emperor of Heaven's trick is still effective.
Several feet away, a stone giant, hidden in the thick smoke, glanced at the burn on his palm and took a few steps back, roaring. He clasped his hands together and raised them to the sky. Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the cave, carrying countless screams and howls, like the dead souls from hell seeking revenge.
Si Ling stood up, stepped on the lotus and prepared to fight, but for a long time there was only the sound of wind in his ears, and he could not see any moves.
Suddenly, a blue-gray face of a Rakshasa suddenly flashed in front of him from the wind, grabbed Si Ling, and bit Si Ling's neck like crazy.
Si Ling gritted his teeth and stabbed a sword into its vest. The tip of the sword pierced through Luosha's chest and then into her chest. The golden light disappeared in an instant, and Luosha turned into powder with his mouth wide open.
Si Ling groaned, drew his sword, stood up and kicked Luosha's body down. Just as he regained his footing, the ground shook again and countless rocks fell from the sky like meteorites. Si Ling dodged several times, but was suddenly hit by a huge rock and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
Si Ling stepped on the falling rubble and approached the stone giant, attacking again, but even the spell that could send away the thousand-year-old evil spirit could only create an invisible stone pit on it.
Si Ling gradually understood why she couldn't defeat the Four Judges - this thing had a lot of spells and a lot of health. It was already difficult for her to defend against his continuous spells, and it would naturally be even more difficult to distract herself to fight it.
After dodging two consecutive slashes, Si Ling began to search for more spells from her ancient memories. Logically, she should be able to use these spells freely now, but after 30,000 years, she is indeed a little rusty at them.
Another roar was heard. The stone giant, whose outline had just reappeared as the smoke and dust dissipated, suddenly threw out several two-meter-long balls. The balls hit Si Ling directly. Si Ling dodged swiftly. The balls burst the moment they touched the opposite cliff. A hideous-looking Rakshasa jumped out of it and turned around to kill him.
"Thousands of souls come together to pay homage!" Si Ling once again created a clone to fight back. Seeing more stone balls being thrown, she tried to throw out a stack of paper figures, but the paper figures seemed weak in such a contest and were soon reduced to ashes in the strong wind.
Si Ling gritted his teeth, raised his sword, dodged the stone giant's fierce attack, and circled around him rapidly, trying to find its vital point. He searched up and down but found nothing.
Si Lingqiang took a deep breath and a spell came to his mind.
She retreated calmly, hid behind her clone, closed her eyes and regulated her breathing.
Two breaths later, a strong discomfort surged in her chest. The evil spirit's yin energy seemed to be fighting with the breath of the immortal bone in her body. She frowned, concentrated her mind to suppress the yin energy, and after holding on for a while, a fishy and sweet taste surged up.
Si Ling groaned, his chest suddenly relaxed. He opened his eyes again, and the bloodshot pupils on his dark eyeballs were gone, replaced by a pair of golden pupils. Si Ling leaped up to the top of the stone giant, clashing his two swords in his hands: "Starlight shines upon the world!"
The moment he finished speaking, a rumbling sound erupted from above the cliff. This rumble was far more intense than the one caused by the stone giant just now. The surrounding area instantly shook, countless shards of stone peeled off the stone wall, and the Rakshasas, who were fighting fiercely, retreated cautiously.
The stone giant also looked up. The rumbling sound continued for a while, and a bright white dot lit up in the darkness above. Then more and more bright spots appeared, and soon they were densely packed into a starry sky.
Then, the stars quickly enlarged. The stone giant was confused at first, but then he suddenly realized that they were approaching rapidly, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
…but it was too late.
Thousands of stars, wrapped in a gust of wind, crashed down upon him. With a resounding bang, the stone giant's massive body slammed uncontrollably into the ground, sending countless more shattered stones crashing up. The barrier shattered, and a surge of dust and smoke drifted upwards within the circular space, following the air currents. For a moment, Si Ling was reminded of the mushroom clouds that had once bloomed in the human world.
The stone giant let out a shrill roar at the bottom of the cliff. Si Ling lowered his eyes and stared at it, hoping to prevent it from losing its fight to the death. But after the smoke and dust cleared, only a hill of rocks remained below. It was impossible to tell which were the stone giant's body parts and which were from her countless starlight.
——It seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Before she ascended to the throne of the Celestial Emperor, she had used this spell several times to defeat armies of thousands. Although the Celestial Realm was still in its pioneering phase at that time, and the combat power of the "armies of thousands" was far less than it would later be, they were still celestial soldiers and generals after all.
When the smoke and dust completely dissipated, Si Ling saw the true terrain after the barrier was broken. The cliff still existed, but behind her was no longer a chasm, but a vast underground plain. The stone wall that stretched infinitely upward in front of her also disappeared. From the bottom of the cliff extended a piece of land, and beyond that, another cliff.
There was thick fog there. Si Ling floated to the edge of the cliff and was surprised to find that it looked like a city. She could almost see the entire city from the top of the cliff.
And in a place she didn't notice, wisps of darker-colored air in the white mist were quietly and silently rushing towards her behind her, searching and gradually gathering together.
"Vision into the Netherworld." Si Ling cast the spell again to find Ruan Wenxiong. The entire town within her sight instantly turned into chaos. A slender light golden shadow emerged from the chaos, probably located in the center of the town.
Behind her, the condensed black smoke broke out from the hill of rubble, stood up staggeringly, and turned into a giant nearly 100 meters tall. It looked no different from the stone giant that had just been defeated, except that it had no physical body.
The black giant moved silently, holding a huge axe, and approached Si Ling like a ghost.
Seeing that Si Ling was about to jump into the small town, the black giant raised his axe high, and the axe filled with anger fell down violently!
Si Ling suddenly heard a gust of wind approaching and turned around abruptly. The giant axe was within reach and he was shocked!
Seeing that he had no time to block with his sword, Si Ling forced out his breath in an instant, ready to withstand the blow.
At the critical moment——
"Swoosh--" She was wrapped up by the black shadow that flashed before her eyes and dived towards the small town behind her.
Si Ling was panicked for several seconds before realizing that he was wrapped in a pair of black wings.
Xuan Chi glanced back and saw that he was out of the giant's attack range. He then spread his wings and flew upwards. He looked at Si Ling with a complicated expression: "How did you find this place?"
"Why did you come just now?" Si Ling spoke at the same time.
"Swish, swish, swish!" The sound of the wind behind him suddenly changed, and the stone axe spun and smashed towards Xuan Chi. Xuan Chi dodged twice, and Si Ling pushed it back: "We'll talk later!"
The two men immediately separated, each holding a weapon, and confronted the black giant on the cliff from a distance.
Xuan Chi looked at the black giant and asked Si Ling, "What is this thing?"
"Uh..." Si Ling thought to himself, "I want to know too." He said with a serious expression, "The high-level BOSS Stone Giant is now in the second stage: Violent Black Giant."
Xuan Chi: “…”
"Well, it's not easy to fight anyway. I was about to use the Ghostly Universe." Si Ling said with a relaxed tone, but his eyes were fixed on the giant who was confronting them on the cliff.
When she vaguely felt... her mood was much lighter than a moment ago, because Xuan Chi had arrived. Although it was still unclear how to win, his presence made her feel at ease.
Xuan Chi stretched his neck and swung his halberd to attack. The black giant immediately attacked. Si Ling did not rush into the battle, but calmly watched for a few moves.
She found that the black giant was much faster than the stone giant just now.
The stone giant was very clumsy and courageous in both combat and movement speed, but the black giant in front of him was swinging a stone axe to fight back, and his movements were not slower than Xuan Chi's.
The two men battled fiercely on the cliffside, black smoke and magical light constantly moving. Si Ling took a deep breath, jumped into the battle, and used magic again: "Starlight Shines!"
Xuan Chi's eyes lit up, and he kicked the black giant's jaw, then retreated to Si Ling's side.
He looked at her in surprise and joy: "Did your cultivation and memory recover together?"
Si Ling nodded: "Yeah."
In an instant, thousands of stars fell like rain, and the black giant subconsciously retreated.
The next second, he was seen raising his arms high, and his face with blurred features seemed to show no fear, but rather an anticipation of greeting.
