Chapter 268 The True Strength of the [Strange Spirit Root]

Amidst the rain, ice crystals formed on the tip of Niu Zuo's longsword, immediately spreading backward towards his wrist.

Niu Zuo immediately felt the unusual nature of this frost power.

Not only was his wrist frozen, but his perception and the transmission of inner strength were also slowed down by this frost power.

The experienced Niu Zuo immediately understood that Fang Yue's frost power was extraordinary.

However, as a large amount of inner strength was mobilized and gathered in his right hand, the spread of this frost power immediately slowed down, even stopping altogether.

The longsword cut through the rain like bamboo, heading straight for Fang Yue's face.

At that moment, ice walls rose from the ground, forming shield-like shapes to block the longsword, while a two-meter ice blade slashed towards his waist from the side.

"Child's play."

The thought flashed through his mind.

Years of accumulated inner strength suddenly burst forth from his body.

This burst of power was slightly different from ordinary inner strength explosions.

Like an invisible ripple, it spread directly outward. The two-meter ice blade immediately crackled, as if countless cracks appeared due to sonic vibrations.

When the two-meter ice blade struck Niu Zuo's body, it shattered completely, turning into a shower of ice shards that caused no damage to Niu Zuo himself.

At the same time, Niu Zuo's longsword had already pierced through the ice wall shield in front of him.

One layer, two layers, three layers...

The longsword pierced through all the ice wall shields with ease, heading straight for Fang Yue's face!

Seeing Fang Yue's seemingly petrified appearance, Niu Zuo sneered inwardly.

The [Strange Spirit Root] is just an ordinary martial artist before it truly grows.

Without reaching the immortal level, how can the power of the spirit root be displayed!

Niu Zuo didn't plan to kill Fang Yue, otherwise, he would have used his full strength in this strike.

But seeing that Fang Yue was unable to resist, he was already retracting his strength, preparing to wound Fang Yue and take him away.

However, just as he was about to retract his power and reduce the power of his sword...

He suddenly felt something was wrong. An inexplicable threat emanated from Fang Yue's body.

It was as if the closer he got, the more he could feel the threat.

The sword momentum, which was originally going to be weakened, increased instead, its power skyrocketing!

With the addition of inner strength, the sound of the sword faintly rang out.

With the sudden increase in power, the longsword accelerated its thrust...

The moment the two came into contact.

Bang!!

The ground suddenly cracked and caved in, with the two as the center, a shockwave exploded, sweeping away debris and forming a huge pit.

Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision.

Therefore, those people didn't see the real truth!

It was a ripple, a strong wave ripple.

It appeared out of thin air in the gap between the longsword and Fang Yue's face, spreading out in layers, even causing Niu Zuo's tiger's mouth, which was holding the sword, to tremble.

What Niu Zuo saw was as if there was a faint but incredibly thick film, blocking the longsword from going deeper and harming Fang Yue's body.

"What... is this?"

-467!

The light number popped up, causing Niu Zuo to freeze on the spot.

Although he suddenly increased the power of this sword at the last moment, its power was enough to kill ordinary human-level high-stage experts!

But... it was only this much?

The guy in front of him didn't even move, taking his sword head-on!

Humiliation... he's insulting me!

Niu Zuo's right hand trembled slightly, and he felt a long-lost sense of shame in his heart.

"How dare you!"

Niu Zuo stared deeply at Fang Yue, his eyes flashing with coldness.

Although he couldn't kill the real Strange Spirit Root, he only needed him alive. Severing his limbs would only make him easier to control.

However, he didn't notice that Fang Yue's eyes also flashed with deep fear!

Just now, Fang Yue's strange value dropped sharply!

The [Strange Membrane] is strong, but its consumption of [Strange Value] is also extremely serious.

Before the [Strange Value] is increased to a certain total amount, abusing the [Strange Membrane]'s life-saving ability will only put the situation at a disadvantage. After all, [Strange Value] can only be restored over time and by killing enemies.

Therefore, Fang Yue understood that to achieve victory, he had to act quickly!

So, Fang Yue moved!

The moment Niu Zuo was about to retract his sword and strike again, Fang Yue moved!

At that moment, Fang Yue's actions could only be described as still as a virgin, and moving like a rabbit escaping.

The moment he moved, his speed reached the extreme. Even Niu Zuo's eyes couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Every time Fang Yue moved, his vision had only just caught up with Fang Yue's afterimage.

During several rapid follow-up captures...

A white stream of cold suddenly slashed on Niu Zuo's arm, giving him no time to react.

"So fast!!"

Niu Zuo was shocked and deeply shaken.

He had never seen someone so fast, so light and agile!

Is this the true strength of the Strange Spirit Root? Is this the height it should have?

While Niu Zuo was shocked, his wrist had already been cut open by the ice blade. kanδん

At that moment, even the pain seemed to be delayed for a while before being transmitted to the brain.

Even the speed at which the blood spurted out was so slow...

Wait?!

Niu Zuo immediately felt something was wrong.

Other things could be understood, but the speed at which the blood spurted out, like a slow-motion picture, was obviously wrong!

The first thing Niu Zuo thought of was [Strange Curse].

"What kind of strange curse is this?"

"When did I get hit?"

"No! I can't sit still and be led by the nose by that guy! If this continues, I'll die silently!"

"How can I... die in a place like this!!"

Niu Zuo suppressed the horror in his heart, and his inner strength surged wildly.

The surging inner strength burst out from his body, expanding outward.

Even if Fang Yue had the strength comparable to a human-level high-stage martial artist, his actual realm was still human-level initial stage. Although his inner strength had soared, it was still unable to compete with an old-brand human-level expert like Niu Zuo.

During the outburst of inner strength, Fang Yue was indeed unable to withstand the pressure and was blasted away.

After Fang Yue was blasted away, the blood spurting from his wrist, the speed of thinking in his brain, and the various perceptual abilities of his body all synchronized and returned to their positions!

His thinking became active again.

Only then did Niu Zuo truly realize the horror of Fang Yue, looking at the man in the distance who straightened up after dusting himself off with shock and uncertainty.

"You, what ability did you awaken!"

Fang Yue didn't speak, but just grinned.

He strode towards Niu Zuo. With every step he took, the frost power within a ten-meter radius around him followed, freezing forward.

Fang Yue was like a moving snow scene, with ice and snow everywhere he went!
