Chapter 123 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 7)
The capital city is far from Lincheng.
In a solemn office, a live broadcast of the Lincheng Anshui Lake incident, obtained from official channels, is being shown.
It is clearly too late to provide assistance to Lin City now, but the higher-ups will absolutely not abandon the life of any cultivator or any citizen.
To their surprise, Si Yisi intervened and took the place of the cultivators to confront the strange beast.
"Leaving aside the newly emerged mysterious figures, the key now is to analyze the possible weaknesses of that strange beast as much as possible and pass the information to the cultivators present!"
"This strange beast has the shape of a fish, with wings on its back, but it is also covered with snake scales. It can move freely in the water and emits high-temperature heat around its body—it is both compatible with water and with elements similar to fire. This situation is extremely rare, and can even be described as contradictory!"
"It is not any of the strange beasts recorded in history, so let's call it Luo Yu for now."
"I wonder if anyone else has noticed something off about it—its wings seem thick and incredibly powerful, but..."
The refined scholar spoke eloquently.
"You're not going to say this tilapia is—"
"A man-made disaster?"
The tilapia in front of me looks fake; its wings and scales seem to be intricately pieced together!
It looks like... a man-made monster!
Si Yi pondered. He couldn't pretend he didn't see this anomaly. What convinced him even more was the imposing aura emanating from the "strange beast" before him.
That's not enough in terms of power!
It does feel like being crushed by a mountain, but it's too superficial—like having a hard outer shell but stuffing the inside with cotton that can't withstand a knock.
How could a mythical beast that truly exists in ancient books be so weak?
Weak cultivators can only flee in terror when faced with such a "strange beast," but Si Yisi is different; he has the ability to analyze the situation while attacking!
At this point, Si Yisi could clearly think of more—who had artificially modified this "strange beast"? Judging from ancient texts, the "strange beast" combined the characteristics of the Fei Yi and the naked fish, making it undoubtedly a hybrid of the two!
But Si Yisi didn't think any further. He stopped short of it, simply because the sword light formed by the spiritual energy he had borrowed had already reached Luo Yu's body!
As the giant fish moved, it spread its wings, as if it were about to ascend high into the sky like an angel!
but……
"boom!"
With a loud boom, countless spiritual energy vortexes that were absorbing spiritual energy collapsed, and the cultivators felt the return of their depleted spiritual energy resources!
The next moment, the lake surface trembled violently, and the snake-like eyes of the Luo fish suddenly shrank. It opened its mouth as if it was about to growl, but was stimulated by a sudden sharp pain on its back and let out a sharp cry of pain.
Before Si Yisi's eyes, Luo Yu's two broad wings were severed from where they met his back!
That sword light wasn't a slip of the hand or a random strike to the lake; rather, it was a feint used to achieve a real purpose.
Two huge gashes of flesh were revealed where the fish had been cut, but not a single drop of dark gray blood oozed from the wound!
The thick wings were smashed into the lake, and the lake surface was now in turmoil. Driven by the extremely high temperature of the air, gurgling bubbles rose from the surface of the lake, just like a pot of soup was being cooked.
The wings didn't sink directly to the bottom; instead, they revealed a dull red color... looking like a pair of roasted spicy wings!
Its essence is an abundance of spiritual energy, which only attracts the covetousness of countless people.
Si Yisi couldn't help but look at the pair of wings after the attack. His experience at the small restaurant made him subconsciously regard everything as ingredients.
I'm actually a little tempted.
But now is clearly not a good time to think about these things. The cultivators have already regarded Si Yisi as a powerful figure who has come to their rescue. They can't see Si Yisi in the splashing water, but that doesn't stop them from thinking about Si Yisi!
Therefore, this trust subtly coalesced into a force of faith, which Si Yisi was temporarily able to use to... cut down everything!
Luo Yu finally broke free from the excruciating pain, and his massive body became a living target, with Si Yisi being the most obvious one to restrain him.
However… Si Yisi’s strength exceeded Luo Yu’s imagination, which also gave those cultivators the opportunity to harm Luo Yu!
Si Yisi had never fought alone from the beginning, and this feeling of being embraced was unprecedented. He stared at Luo Yu, who was going berserk, his expression remaining calm and indifferent... He leaped into the air, but this time he didn't condense into a giant spirit sword. Instead, he compressed his spiritual power to the limit...
Converging on a single point, waiting to pierce through the other eye of the Luo fish!
To Luo Yu, he was nothing more than a slippery loach, and an ant that annoyed it to no end. It tried every means to hit Si Yisi, but was defeated every time Si Yisi dodged.
But when Si Yisi pierced Luo Yu's other snake eye with the compressed spiritual energy that was almost solid, he found that the cold snake eye showed a look of greed and excitement!
This sword pierced the Luo fish's soft spot!
The next moment, Luo Yu's body crashed to the ground, and Si Yisi was not even able to truly pierce Luo Yu's vital organs!
It's just a weakness, not a fatal flaw!
Si Yisi heard the sound of the jade pendant shattering completely. Just as he saw the excited look in Luo Yu's eyes, it suddenly broke!
"Was that beast... defeated?"
The cultivators heard a loud bang, and the strange beast collapsed to the ground with a single blow from the mysterious helper! Scorching gas erupted the moment the beast fell, causing the cultivators to groan softly involuntarily.
Even the barrier of spiritual energy couldn't stop the onslaught of heat. Who would dare to open their eyes at this moment and expose their vulnerable organs?!
No!
So when the cultivators' alarm was lifted and they opened their eyes again, the mysterious helper who had suddenly barged in to assist them had vanished...
The enormous beast, seemingly born from spiritual energy, also disappeared without a trace!
"what happened?!"
They looked at each other, none of them knowing exactly what had happened! Was the strange beast dead or not? This became a lingering shadow in the minds of the cultivators!
They dared not inform the citizens of Lincheng that the alert had been lifted, and were waiting for a further, more in-depth search!
The blond, blue-eyed foreigner covered his aching eyes, tears streaming down his face. His hand holding the phone trembled slightly. When he looked back at the live stream, he discovered that it had briefly gone black due to the shock!
After logging back in, a series of scrolling comments appeared on the screen.
[Did you all see what happened? What happened after that mysterious cultivator pierced the beast's eye?!]
[Didn't see it.]
[Me too... but the only thing I know is that our country's practitioners have definitely achieved final victory!]
[China—Invincible!]
While everyone was anxiously watching the final outcome of the battle, or trying to find the identity of the mysterious helper and the whereabouts of Luo Yu through the video, the black-haired boy who appeared on the deserted streets became inconspicuous.
Si Yisi walked unsteadily down the street, carrying a shriveled "fish" in his hand.
Luo Yu didn't die; he was just captured by Si Yisi!
In his other hand, he held a red string with the edge sticking out; the red string was originally tied to the delightfully green jade pendant!
The moment the jade pendant shattered, Si Yisi realized why Luo Yu was staring at him with such ecstatic eyes. In that short time, he packed up the shrunken, not-yet-dead Luo Yu and left!
Nietzsche said, "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
Si Yisi's unusually disheveled appearance was not because Luo Yu made a desperate last-ditch effort, but because Li Banxue's own body was in trouble.
The jade pendant was not there to protect Li Banxue, but rather to serve as a seal!
