Chapter 122 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 6)
Si Yisi met its gaze.
He didn't look directly into the beast's cold pupils, but merely felt a wave of oppressive heat wash over him. He glanced casually back in the direction from which the heat was coming.
There are too many people in Lincheng! It's so crowded that no one near the lake can feel the coolness it brings; instead, it feels like being in a steamer!
They gasped for breath like fish out of water, their faces flushed, frantically pushing and shoving with the crowd toward a place away from the heatwave.
In this situation, Si Yisi was both extremely conspicuous and extremely inconspicuous.
He stepped onto a bluestone without flinching, and a willow tree drooped its branches near Si Yisi's ear, the lush green of which made the blackness of Si Yisi's pupils stand out even more.
A young woman, seeking respite from the summer heat, clutched the hem of her long skirt and followed the crowd, rushing further from the lake. For some reason, she glanced to the side and caught a glimpse of a figure—
The man looked very young, even very young, but his profile revealed an incredibly peaceful expression.
It's like... knowing everything!
Another gust of hot wind swept by, and Si Yisi's figure had already disappeared!
Si Yisi's temporary halt was not out of fear of the beast, but rather a response to its provocation—after responding, Si Yisi would confront the beast head-on!
"We... even getting close to it is difficult!"
The cultivators, led by several Taoist priests, first encountered this problem. They wanted to resist the strange beast, but the matter was deadlocked from the very beginning!
At this moment, streaks of bright red blood appeared on the surface of Anshui Lake, like the color of a beautiful woman's lips when she is doing her makeup, but at this moment it only aroused the anger of countless people!
That represents the blood of innocent victims—it's a disgrace! Beasts run rampant on land ruled by humans, and now they are powerless to stop them!
"Oh my god!" The blond, blue-eyed foreigner waved his arms as he watched this scene, which resembled a Hollywood blockbuster.
He showed absolutely no sense of crisis; his pupils gleamed with excitement as he held up his phone, which was clearly broadcasting a live stream!
The battle itself is not visible in the video, but the tense atmosphere is undeniable!
The beast was invisible, but the surging water beneath it and the rising heat subtly revealed its location.
"That person—" A young Taoist priest was about to speak when the sudden clang of a sword interrupted him!
He witnessed his fellow disciples focusing all their energy on one point: the location of the strange beast's eyes!
The cultivators dared not make a move in the area with snake-like scales, but the eyes were undoubtedly still the weakness of this enormous beast!
Taoist priests rarely draw their swords; they mostly use peach wood swords for exorcising ghosts and demons. But at this critical moment, when their fate hangs in the balance with Lin City, they hold nothing back.
The longsword was drawn, its cold light gleaming, and spiritual energy lingered on its sharp blade, eliciting a sword cry that seemed to come alive!
Many practitioners only learned basic techniques, but when they came together, they became a formidable force!
"Set up the formation!"
The Taoist priest standing at the front exuded an aura of righteousness, his gaze carrying a powerful and righteous spirit as he loudly directed the actions of those behind him.
"Set up the formation."
He shouted again, this time in a much deeper voice, like the sound of striking a giant bell.
As soon as he gave the order, the spiritual energy that had not been taken away by the strange beasts gathered together on the magic array that was about to be set up!
A giant sword materialized from the blades held by everyone. It possessed the majestic presence of a high mountain, constructed from surging spiritual energy. It was a sword for the people!
No one spoke; everyone held their breath. The beast regarded them as ants, so let it see how ants could shake a great tree!
One sword—swung out!
Si Yisi's hair was blown by the strong wind. He stared in the direction of the sword, his eyes reflecting the sword's light!
Not enough, not enough!
The sword flashed fiercely, piercing through one of the beast's eyes in one fell swoop, and the blood that splattered out was surprisingly grayish-black!
It successfully injured the beast, but also angered it! The beast unfolded its folded wings, its feathers seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, casting a shadow over a large area of the sky in front of it!
Invisible demonic power, along with the raging torrents of water, gathered into one whirlpool after another. Like greedy predators, they devoured and fought over the spiritual energy that humans had taken away!
Oh my god...
Such comments popped up in a foreigner's live stream.
This is not only the thought of the onlookers, but also the thought of the practitioners gathered here!
Can they really hold out?! They... need reinforcements!
Spiritual energy is the foundation of everything. The few cultivators who were battered and bruised by the gale stirred up by the spread wings could not hide their fear!
They could feel the spiritual energy in the air gradually thinning... This made the sweltering heat even more pervasive, as if it were trying to suffocate and kill them from the heat!
Moreover—those feathers, each one seemingly meticulously crafted, did not hide or even stop after obscuring the sky.
The beast let out a long, piercing scream, and the ground cracked open with several thin fissures wherever the sound reached! It raised its wings high, as if ready to strike down this being comparable to the Sword of Damocles at any moment…
It's like a judgment on people!
The powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy finally revealed the true form of the beast in reality, and all camera devices could record this terrifying creature at this moment.
This strange beast, resembling both a snake and a fish, is a dangerous entity that brings calamity!
Its attack seemed capable of destroying a city!
The cultivators present felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Their fingernails dug into their flesh and scraped painfully, but they could only grit their teeth and gather that giant sword of spiritual energy once again!
Even the light of fireflies must rival the brilliance of the moon—no one would flee in such a perilous moment before they were killed in battle!
Every second counts; it's a race against time to save ordinary people as much as possible...
Even if it means death, it is not a pity!
The foreigner had already lowered his hand, and the excitement on his face had faded, leaving only a heavy feeling.
He stood far away, in what was almost a safe position, but that did not prevent him from sensing the fearlessness of these cultivators from other countries before him!
The live chat fell silent, as if the world was mourning their impending demise.
[I wish there were a God! Please, God, save them!]
The next moment, it seemed as if a god had truly descended upon this place—! The chilling sword light made people blink involuntarily, and in that sword light, through the blurred vision, more than one person saw the figure soaring into the air!
"What is that?" A trembling voice came from a cultivator. "Is that... a person?!"
Si Yisi borrowed the power of the sword light, and he seemed not at all worried about being torn to pieces by it. In fact, it did not cause him any harm! On the contrary, the sword light became his best help in getting closer to the alien beast!
It was as if he were once again in that world of cultivation, riding a sword!
The jade pendant on Si Yisi's chest had been knocked out, and its cracks grew wider and wider under the onslaught of surging spiritual energy or perhaps demonic energy.
Si Yisi ignored everything, remaining unmoved even by the towering waves. His sole objective was the behemoth before him, nothing but the behemoth before him!
The splashing water and the sword light obscured Si Yisi's face, but in front of all the cultivators, he actually "grasped" that beam of sword light with his hand!
To everyone's surprise, Jian Guang did not show any displeasure at Si Yisi's offensive behavior; it was as docile as a newborn lamb!
It yielded, it submitted to Sis's slender wrist...
Because it possessed a spiritual nature, it knew that what stood before it was not a god, but a king to whom it should submit!
Si Yisi slashed down with his sword, but his sword seemed to have missed its mark and did not strike any part of the beast's massive body!
He struck the dying Anshui Lake!
The entire Anshui Lake was like a huge blue floating ice floe, and the water flow that was hit by the sword light evaporated in the heat, and together with the blue "snake scales", it looked like wisps of blue mist!
Anshui Lake becomes like a fairyland in this moment—too beautiful, but also harboring too much danger!
In the eyes of several cultivators who were already powerless to resist, he was not only a tremendous ally, but the cultivators looked at Si Yisi as if they had seen a soaring azure dragon—
That is the dragon of China!
Are there no talented people in China? Is there no one left in China? No, there are. The person before us... is an asset to China!
A sword can only unleash its greatest power when it is held in a person's hand.
Si Yisi lacked a suitable weapon, so he borrowed the sword light as a temporary weapon. He was capricious and reckless, but the "sword" he held in his hand was in perfect harmony with his heart!
He seemed born for the sword, baring his sharp fangs at the beast! It was time for the roles of hunter and hunted to be reversed!
Si Yisi felt a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowing into his body. It wasn't spiritual energy he had awakened himself, but rather the help that cultivators had given him through a desperate gamble!
Countless people placed their hopes on him.
Si Yisi just wanted to laugh. He looked down at his palm. Li Banxue hoped to live a peaceful life, but the trouble that came knocking on her door was destined to break that constraint.
Only after being flamboyant can one find a stable life!
Si Yisi's eyes were like cold stars, reflecting the beast's pathetic state after losing one of its eyes!
After the input of spiritual power reached a certain limit... jade powder began to fall from the shimmering jade pendant on his chest.
It's like a breach has appeared in a city wall.
When it's completely destroyed, who knows what mysterious things might be hidden behind the city walls!
But at this moment, everyone was praying in hushed tones, and the fleeing people were also driven to stop in their tracks by this invisible force, all turning their gazes toward one place.
That's a battlefield!
There are people fighting for them!
They were unaware of the battle that defended Lin City; most people were even clueless and completely ignorant of it, but...
Everyone in Lincheng heard the sword cry that seemed to pierce through the clouds. The cry was urgent and carried a sense of killing intent; it was the horn of war!
The clanging of swords seemed to represent only one word—kill!
