Chapter 955: I took a liking to him!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Actually, when Song Shuhang saw this final boss shrouded in flames coming over to kill him, as well the thick ice and this glacial world he was using to suppress his injury, he found the scene very familiar…
A long time ago, there was this other powerful cultivator—who had been injured by the flames of tribulation—that had rushed toward him in order to kill him. At that time, under the advice of the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Song Shuhang had taken out his Three Stars Fire Controlling Fan, waving it a few times and reducing that powerful cultivator to ashes.
That cultivator was Ba Qianjun, the sect master of the Moon Saber Sect—the same person that had left behind the treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
As such, Song Shuhang tried to operate his Fire Controlling Art to make the flames shrouding the stone giant burn even more fiercely.
The effects of this Fire Controlling Art he had learned from Senior White were pretty good… and perhaps because the heavenly fire burning on the body of the stone giant was originally the saber qi of the ‘Flaming Saber Technique’—the same technique Song Shuhang practiced—the inextinguishable fire was really affected by the Fire Controlling Art, causing the flames burning on the body of the stone giant to rise suddenly.
Unfortunately, the flames rising that way didn’t have any effect on the stone giant.
The main body of the stone giant slightly furrowed its brows, and his big hand relentlessly headed toward Song Shuhang. “You are somewhat quick-witted. But, given the level of your cultivation, you won’t be able to affect me even if you operate the Fire Controlling Art with all your strength.”
The current volume of flames burning on the body of the stone giant was the result of several years of seals and suppression. As such, its size had decreased by several thousand times compared to the original!
When he had just fought with Scarlet Heaven, the heavenly fire burning on his body had a range of several thousand meters. Back then, the flames really looked like as though they were going to burn the heavens.
But even though the heavenly fire was burning that fiercely, the stone giant was still able to escape and survive. Therefore, the fact that the volume of the flames had increased a little wasn’t going to affect him.
On the other hand, if the palm of the stone giant hit Song Shuhang… Shuhang would turn into meat patty—finely cooked meat patty on top of that. After all, the palms of the stone giant were on fire.
Luckily, his Inner World didn’t fail him at the critical moment.
“Shuhang, the Inner World broke free of that s.p.a.ce interference!” Ye Si said.
Song Shuhang quickly ordered the Inner World to drag him inside.
In the next moment, his body started to transform, getting ready to move to the Inner World. But, before disappearing, Song Shuhang used his right hand to attack the stone giant!
The treasured saber Broken Tyrant in his right hand was ready to attack since a long time ago. The saber qi of the Flaming Saber Technique slashed at the palm of the stone giant. Although the Fire Controlling Art didn’t have any effect, perhaps the Flaming Saber Technique he had learned from Senior Scarlet Heaven could do something… After all, the two techniques had the same origin, and his flaming saber intent was a copy of Scarlet Heaven’s.
“Are you trying to escape?” the stone giant suddenly said at this time.
“Boom!”
The saber qi of the Flaming Saber Technique hit the palm of the stone giant, mixing with the flames already burning on it. The flames rose a little, but even if its effects were slightly better than the Fire Controlling Art, it was unable to injure the stone giant.
The stone giant suddenly joined his palms together. It had given up on attacking Song Shuhang and decided to strengthen the s.p.a.ce interference instead. Given his realm, he could immediately tell that Song Shuhang was planning to escape. If he kept attacking, he would only make Song Shuhang escape, and this wasn’t the result he wanted.
He wanted Song Shuhang to stay behind.
Anyway, when the stone giant interfered with s.p.a.ce with all his might, Song Shuhang’s teleport was interrupted again.
Song Shuhang felt his heart crumble.
After getting his hands on this ‘Inner World’, Shuhang felt that he had obtained a good trump card to preserve his life. But, the two times he was forced to make use of his Inner World to preserve his life, he failed to teleport away. Just like the last time, Song Shuhang’s teleport was blocked halfway now. At this time, he was in a state between ‘illusion’ and ‘reality’.
The Inner World immediately tried to adapt to the situation and get rid of that s.p.a.ce interference…
Just as he was hovering between illusion and reality, the palms of the stone giant surrounded Song Shuhang.
“Was that White fellow trying to take you away? Hehe, naive. As long as I’m here, he can forget about taking you away.” The stone giant laughed strangely.
The stone giant thought that Song Shuhang’s body was teleporting away because that White, who had fled already, was secretly using the power of s.p.a.ce to bring him away.
Song Shuhang felt somewhat depressed.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, with the Inner World at his disposal, he should be able to easily escape from enemies below the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender rank as long as his reaction speed was good enough… but why were the enemies he met always so out of place?
Other than that… it was getting pretty hot.
When the palms of the stone giant closed, the blazing flames burning on his hands affected Song Shuhang. Even if he was hovering between illusion and reality, the heavenly fire was still able to affect his body.
This time, he really was in a hopeless situation.
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang had tried all the methods at his disposal, but the disparity between him and the stone giant was simply too big. Even if the stone giant was greatly weakened, he could kill Song Shuhang just by falling to the ground, crus.h.i.+ng him.
And since s.p.a.ce was getting tampered with, the Inner World was also unable to teleport him away within a short period of time.
Senior White had been very irresponsible and disappeared without any warning, saying that they would meet tomorrow. But, at this pace, would Shuhang even live to see tomorrow?
If Song Shuhang could trick this stone giant, he would really like to trick him into entering his Inner World, teleporting him to the world of the black lotus, where Senior White Two’s main body was.
