Chapter 488: Chapter 455 Sly_1
Lu Jingkong’s lips twitched upwards, just when she was about to win, Xu Mu’s body mysteriously turned into a wisp of green smoke, bypassing the Sky-splitting Halberd.
“How is that possible?”
Lu Jingkong widened her eyes, unable to believe what was unfolding before her.
Although the martial artists from this world possessed various Divine Skills, they were primarily control-oriented. She had never heard of anyone capable of altering their own structure like this.
A skill?
Lu Jingkong reacted instantly.
This brought even more shock to her; she didn’t understand how Xu Mu was able to use skills in this world.
But at this moment, Xu Mu didn’t have the time to explain. Seizing the opportunity, he launched an attack that he had been planning for a long time.
Paralysis Skill!
A ray of light enveloped Lu Jingkong, causing her movements to pause momentarily.
During this brief pause, Xu Mu’s arm swelled rapidly and struck Lu Jingkong with brutal force.
Bang!
Like a cannonball, Lu Jingkong was blasted off, embedding her deeply into the rocks.
By the time Lu Jingkong managed to free herself from the dirt, she was bloodied and disheveled.
Xu Mu’s physique surpassed Lu Jingkong’s and combining the amplifying effects of the Sky-Splitting Whale’s Bloodline, even a Divinity Transformation Stage Body Refinement martial artist would find it challenging to withstand his attack.
Remember that the white ape, who was comparable to the late-stage Nascent Soul, was left spitting blood after just receiving a stone launched by Xu Mu.
Can you imagine how strong that was?
“Friend Xu, it seems that I really underestimated you. Not only can you use skills, but also the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill!”
After finishing her words, Lu Jingkong light exhaled a breath, her gaze becoming much more serious.
She originally thought she could easily win, but now it seemed that if she didn’t display some real skills, defeating Xu Mu might be a difficult feat.
“It is merely luck.”
Xu Mu didn’t follow up with a swift attack, but quietly watched his opponent.
The next moment, Lu Jingkong’s body began to swell rapidly, sprouting black scales similar to the Imperial Clan of the Sea Race. Unlike them, she also had a pair of wings on her back.
“Kun Peng Bloodline!”
Xu Mu squinted his eyes.
He should have speculated earlier that she would have entered the Kun Peng treasury.
If his guess was right, then a Kun Peng’s body might be buried inside.
Extracting the True Blood of the Kun Peng wouldn’t be strange.
She might have been refining this Kun Peng True Blood over the years she had been in seclusion.
An adult Kun Peng possessed the power at True Spirit level. As long as one could master just one percent of the True Blood’s power, they would be enough to crush those at the Nascent Soul Stage.
“Since friend Xu has recognized this, why not admit your defeat now, to avoid me accidentally hurting you when I can’t control my power!” Lu Jingkong laughed ferociously.
“Thank you for your kindness, friend Lu, but I am afraid I cannot admit defeat just yet.”
While speaking, Xu Mu’s body also began to expand rapidly, and in the end, he turned into a form that was half-human, half-whale and over a dozen yards long.
Seeing Xu Mu in this state, Lu Jingkong couldn’t help but laugh.
“Friend Xu, you surely haven’t forgotten about the Sky-splitting Halberd in my hand, have you?”
Originally, Xu Mu could have relied on the flexibility of his transformation to evade her attacks. But now in this form, his speed would inevitably decrease significantly, turning himself into an actual target.
Under the sharp edge of the Sky-splitting Halberd, Xu Mu was on a suicidal path.
“Friend Lu, feel free to do as you wish. Even if my death is at your hands, I would have no regrets,” Xu Mu calmly replied, as if completely unconcerned by his disadvantage.
Lu Jingkong’s gaze flickered, she was unsure of how to proceed.
Such an obvious weakness being exposed, she really couldn’t figure out what Xu Mu was planning.
But being at an impasse was not an option either. While she could display the Kun Peng Bloodline, it was not without significant cost. She couldn’t keep it up for long, the battle needed to be swift and decisive.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and took a swing at Xu Mu’s tremendous body.
Of course, Xu Mu would not merely watch her attack his vital points, and thus struck down with his palm.
But given her enormous size, it was like a mountain falling down.
Splat!
The Sky-splitting Halberd almost effortlessly sliced through his palm, burning through it like a hot knife through butter, leaving a long, deep wound.
However, Xu Mu, unfazed, continued to attack her with his palm.
Lu Jingkong was forced to evade.
She could easily cut through Xu Mu’s flesh, which was on par with a tier twelve magical weapon, with her Sky-splitting Halberd. However, her own body wouldn’t withstand such an attack.
Keep in mind that Xu Mu had just slightly transformed and had already beaten her to the point of vomiting blood. If this pressure was applied now, even with the Kun Peng True Blood protecting her, it would likely leave her bones broken and tendons snapped.
This was the pressure from a disparity in power and size, having little to do with one’s cultivation.
The strong suppressed the weak!
The power Xu Mu was currently displaying could potentially gravely injure even those at the Divinity Transformation stage.
Therefore, Lu Jingkong had no choice but to evade and then seek an opportunity to strike.
Assisted by the Kun Peng wings on her back, her speed was incredibly quick. Xu Mu, with his gigantic size and clumsy movements, couldn’t possibly catch her.
On the contrary, she could continually find opportunities to easily leave one massive wound after another on Xu Mu’s colossal body.
Actually, Xu Mu’s moves could not be considered clumsy.
A regular Nascent Soul cultivator would find them difficult to evade as well.
It’s just that Lu Jingkong was simply too quick.
Things seemed to be going well, Xu Mu could only be beaten and could not harm her at all.
But as time passed, Lu Jingkong gradually felt that something was amiss.
She had clearly left many wounds on Xu Mu, yet he showed no signs of weakness and remained vigorous, continually striking his palm at her.
Like an ordinary person trying to swat a mosquito with a bare hand, obviously futile, he kept relentlessly pursuing.
She took a quick look and saw that the wounds she left were healing rapidly.
This left her utterly baffled.
She also had the means to heal wounds quickly, but that required a tremendous consumption of physical strength. By doing this, Xu Mu was killing himself by drinking poison.
“This guy must be bluffing, I don’t believe him,” she stubbornly thought.
Lu Jingkong, who couldn’t fully understand the situation, gritted her teeth and continued her attack.
Given Xu Mu’s colossal size, no matter how much power she used, she was unable to strike at his vital points.
The Sky-splitting Halberd was only several feet long after all. Even if she stabbed it completely into Xu Mu’s flesh, it would just break the skin’s surface and never reach the vital parts.
All she could do now was to tough it out against Xu Mu, to see who would be the first to give in.
What she didn’t know was that Xu Mu had cultivated the “Eternal Vajra Body”. He didn’t need to expend energy to heal his wounds. All he needed to do was maintain his current gigantic size.
Compared to Lu Jingkong maintaining the Kun Peng state, it was undoubtedly much easier for him to maintain his Giant Earth Whale state.
And the more Lu Jingkong attacked, the stronger his body became under the reinforcement of the “Eternal Vajra Body”.
Lu Jingkong was essentially helping him cultivate.
The main reason this situation occurred was because the Sky-splitting Halberd could not be refined and could only be used for basic attacks.
That was why Xu Mu dared to use this live-target strategy.
As time went by and her own vitality was increasingly exhausted, Lu Jingkong finally sensed that something was wrong.
Although she didn’t understand the principle behind it, she knew she had fallen into Xu Mu’s trap. If this continued, the loser would certainly be her.
“That crafty kid—he’s really scheming. Well, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Biting her teeth, Lu Jingkong suddenly made a shocking move. She threw the Sky-splitting Halberd like a spear, aiming straight for Xu Mu’s heart.
