"You've really mastered the art of using minimal force to overcome great strength in Tai Chi!" Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes. Li Fei's combat prowess was definitely not solely due to his talent for balance, but also to his understanding of Tai Chi.
But no matter how strong Li Fei is, he can't hold out for more than three minutes. There is a limit to balance. Breaking the balance again and again will accumulate the imbalance until the balance is broken.
"Sword Bone, Slash!"
Jiang Yuan realized that he should never underestimate anyone in the world when Baili Yifeng actually comprehended the Sword Bone at the Profound God Realm. A single Sword Bone was enough to surpass most people at the Profound God Realm, let alone a pure sword cultivator like Baili Yifeng.
With a whoosh, the sword blade sliced through the void, delivering a significant blow to the Void Beast at the half-step Nascent Soul Realm despite the vast difference in their levels.
But the Void Beast was no pushover either; with its surging energy seal, a massive order pressed down, clearly aiming to kill Baili Yifeng in one strike.
"Three heads and six arms!"
Xie Chuan was on top of the attack when his powerful Dharma Image blocked the blow for Baili Yifeng. At the same time, Xie Chuan joined the battle with the Zhu Yan Dharma Image.
Several Xuan Shen realm cultivators were actually locked in a fierce battle with a half-step Hua Shen realm cultivator.
"It seems we really underestimated the people of the world!" Jiang Yuan nodded. These young people are the future of China, and their performance has satisfied Jiang Yuan. They are brave and determined to fight, and their combat quality is much better than that of the first generation who were hastily dealt with the disaster.
This is understandable. The first generation of people who survived the catastrophe transitioned directly from modern society to the battlefield of spiritual awakening. People who spend all their time on their phones can't compare to those who practiced martial arts and cultivation in their youth. Their only advantage is their fighting spirit.
The battle raged on, and Jiang Yuan kept a close eye on the situation. The five-person siege was no longer viable. With the addition of other Supreme God Realm Void Beasts, Xie Chuan was forced out of the core battle circle. Lin Siyin, whose effectiveness had been greatly reduced after being poisoned, was also forced to defend against the attacks of those Supreme God Realm Void Beasts along with Xie Chuan.
The two's achievements are still indelible. Lin Siyin alone inflicted nearly 10% of the life force of a Void Beast at the half-step Nascent Soul Realm with poison damage. In addition, the negative effects of the Heavenly Poison Body would only make the effect greater.
Xie Chuan's three heads and six arms also had an effect. Although it was difficult to break through the defense, the suppression effect was still achieved.
"Exquisite Holy Soul, Purification of Light".
Gu Anlei made her move, and with that move came a rare divine skill. Without a doubt, she obtained it from the Companion God, which is why Jiang Yuan asked Gu Anlei for help.
If a companion god can accept her as a disciple, then what she possesses must be exceptional. For example, the Light Purification attribute is extremely damaging to Void Beasts, which are dark creatures.
"The armor of holiness, the spear of light."
Two more trump cards followed. Adorned in holy armor and wielding a spear gleaming with holy light, Gu Anlei activated her Starlight Divine Spark and attacked the Void Beast.
"The power of the gods is truly something to aspire to!"
Looking at the starlight, Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with longing. This was his future path, but he was destined not to walk the path that his predecessors had walked. He would walk his own path to godhood. Although it would be difficult, he would not give up.
"Starlight Strike!"
With the spear of light and the armor of holiness working together, Gu Anlei unleashed a starlight that could crush the daylight—a power from the depths of the universe.
Heaven and earth are contained within a constellation, and starlight illuminates a world.
The Void Beast's expression was solemn. All its energy was gathered as the spear tip thrust towards it, clearly indicating that it also intended to kill Gu Anlei, since she was the only person present who posed a threat to its life.
With a whoosh, the spear pierced into the Void Beast's body, and Gu Anlei was also hit by the Void Beast.
Faced with overwhelming power, any method would carry unimaginable danger, and Gu Anlei understood this. Therefore, when the Void Beast's destructive attack landed, she faced it calmly.
Bang! It was as if a star had been shattered. Gu Anlei suffered three hundred casualties while killing a thousand enemies. Both sides were severely injured. If it were an ordinary Xuan Shen Realm cultivator, such injuries would definitely be fatal.
However, Gu Anlei possesses the passive abilities of Life's Sigh and Pity, which means that the maximum damage she can withstand in a single attack will not exceed 20%. Therefore, even if a blow that is enough to kill a god-level being lands on her, she will only lose 19% of her health.
As for why it's 19 percent...
Because the Holy Armor blocked one percent of it.
However, this was only the first strike. The moment the star shattered, the Void Beast once again used spatial order to teleport in front of Gu Anlei, and then launched the second and third strikes in succession.
19 percent
19 percent
After finishing two consecutive attacks, Li Fei finally managed to use his balance to absorb the damage, while Baili Yifeng took the opportunity to cut off one of the Void Beast's legs.
It was only when the battle had become so fierce that the Void Beast's health dropped below half. Moreover, when the opponent's health was below half, the Void Beast, which was at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, began to recover health at a rate of one percent per second. The poison damage from the Heavenly Poison Body was already masked by the recovery speed.
"We can't fight anymore. We can't kill the Void Beast with its regeneration speed. Now that all the students have safely evacuated, we should retreat too!" Baili Yifeng ordered. As the top student in the academy, he certainly had the authority to speak.
But when he wanted to leave, someone disagreed, not Jiang Yuan, but Gu Anlei.
"A final gamble!"
Gu Anlei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and golden blood burned on the spear in her hand. Her eyes shone with dazzling starlight. "Stars, burn."
At this moment, her body burst into flames, and then she rushed towards the Void Beast, who was at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, like a shooting star.
She was like a shooting star, burning herself to create a magnificent arc across the dark night sky, carrying the will of Huasheng Academy to crush the enemy before her.
