Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1284 - 696: Statue Resurrection
A moment later,
a faint gleam slowly appeared at the bottom of the pit. Enveloped by this gleam, pieces of rock silently rose into the air and quietly settled on the ground outside the pit.
The entire excavation and cleanup process remained absolutely silent, without a single noise.
Before long, the rubble at the bottom of the pit was swiftly cleared away, and gray-white statues began to appear one by one at the pit’s several-hundred-zhang depth.
Despite the recent massive explosion, these statues remained unscathed, and mysteriously, seven or eight of them were now covered with a thick layer of stone shell.
Zhao Sheng found this intriguing and grew more attentive to these gray-white statues.
He expended quite a bit of effort to clean each statue and carefully placed them aside.
Just as Zhao Sheng was busy clearing the rubble and repositioning the statues, an unexpected change occurred!
With a clatter, a pile of rocks near the center of the pit suddenly collapsed, causing countless stones to tumble to the sides, revealing a slender figure in white armor who unexpectedly stood up from the rubble.
Zhao Sheng abruptly looked up, only to see a white glow flash before his eyes. The white glow moved incredibly quickly, seemingly ignoring the constraints of space-time, and in an instant, pierced through his chest at the very moment he spotted it.
An empty void immediately appeared at Zhao Sheng’s chest, where blood gushed forth like a fountain, splattering everywhere.
Subsequently, the white glow, enhanced by the blood, suddenly buzzed and expanded, revealing its true form—it was a peculiar weapon, sharp at both ends like a spindle.
At her gesture, the Light Splitting Needle transformed into light and obediently returned to hover before the slender figure’s chest.
"Oh, a statue has resurrected!"
Staring at the white-armored woman not far away, Zhao Sheng was extremely shocked. He clutched his chest; from the void, dense flesh buds rapidly grew, and his previously incomplete heart swiftly regenerated.
Recently awakened, the white-armored woman’s consciousness lingered in the moment of sealing, where she was butchering monsters, causing a bloody storm wherever she went.
The Split Light Needle vanished and reappeared before the woman’s chest.
Zhao Sheng had no time to dodge, and his head was instantly struck by the Split Light Needle. Fortunately, the Kui Niu Treasure manifested just in time to block this deadly attack.
Seeing Zhao Sheng still alive, the white-armored woman’s vacant eyes flashed with clarity. She immediately launched herself at Zhao Sheng, suddenly conjuring hundreds of "long thorns" between her hands.
Witnessing this terrifying scene, Zhao Sheng hastily shouted, "Stop! I’m not your enemy!"
This thunderous shout shattered her bewilderment. The white-armored woman’s consciousness suddenly returned, and spiritual light appeared in her eyes.
Feng Xianxian blinked once more, first gazing blankly at the surroundings and then at Zhao Sheng, filled with puzzlement and incomprehension.
However, upon glimpsing Zhao Sheng’s vigilant face, her expression turned utterly indifferent, and she showed no intention of speaking. With a flicker, she charged toward Zhao Sheng.
Feng Xianxian’s usual approach was to capture someone first, then employ methods to interrogate them thoroughly.
"Alas!" Zhao Sheng sighed inwardly. He promptly activated his Will Field, conjuring dozens of Will Barriers to protect his body.
At the same time, the Crocodile Tooth Great Saber fell back into his hand, and he swung it forward.
The next instant, a miraculous scene unfolded!
As the saber cut through the air, the empty void suddenly revealed a foot-long white-gold thin needle—the High-level Spiritual Treasure Light Splitting Needle.
Nevertheless, Feng Xianxian’s combat experience was extensive. Seeing the old tactic failed, she immediately employed a new lethal move.
Zhao Sheng was startled to find his Will Field effortlessly dissolved by some Power of Laws, leaving a "Big Hole" in the perimeter.
In the "Big Hole," a slender figure materialized. Feng Xianxian’s eyes were indifferent. Her right hand lifted, sending white glows shooting toward Zhao Sheng’s vital points in his chest and abdomen.
Her aim was incapacitation, not a direct kill!
In his astonishment, Zhao Sheng didn’t have time to think. He swiftly swung the Crocodile Tooth Great Saber across his chest again,
and over a dozen layers of Sword Intent Light illuminated the blade. Instantly, hundreds of sword lights burst forth, speeding toward Feng Xianxian.
Upon seeing this, Feng Xianxian’s brow furrowed, yet she showed no intention of dodging and continued her straight-on assault.
However, countless white lights erupted, blossoming like a brilliant flower, tearing through space and enveloping all the sword lights.
Then, the Light Splitting Needle appeared ethereal and elusive, instantly piercing through dozens of Will Barriers and penetrating Zhao Sheng completely.
Zhao Sheng tapped his toe, rapidly retreating to the edge of the pit.
Upon reaching outside the pit, he glanced at the white-armored woman on the verge of charging again, then at the gaping bloody wound on his abdomen. Without a second thought, though his flesh hadn’t completely healed, he shouted loudly, "Command!"
The commanding shout was high-pitched and resonant, reaching into the Cloud Sky, instantly alerting the nearby War Puppet group.
After shouting, his figure flickered as he teleported away.
At that moment, from amidst the surrounding ruins, ancient War Puppets swiftly emerged. They moved like the wind and soon arrived at the pit’s edge, surrounding the statues and the white-armored woman below.
