Chapter 368 The Strongest Defense
To the southeast of the Mu Family was a golden light curtain. Inside it, Lyu Liang and Lin Qiangu were standing face to face on a large stage. Wen Xiaojing, being the only witness, had a mysterious smile on her face.
“Don’t worry. Except for Xiaojing, no one else will know that you were defeated by me.” Lin Qiangu pointed her spear at Lyu Liang with a confident smile.
Upon arriving here, Lyu Liang totally forgot Lin Qiangu’s goading words. This girl was Wen Xiaojing’s best friend and had saved all the people’s lives. Lyu Liang did not want to hurt a girl who should have been his friend.
“Boy, this is actually a good opportunity!” White said slowly yet somehow excitedly, “Who you are confronting is the inheritor of the Limitation Bounds of Blood. Such a thing does not happen every day. You can just seize this opportunity to test your defensive capability!”
“The Limitation Bounds of Blood? What is that?” Lyu Liang’s curiosity was aroused.
“Well, there are very rare cultivators in the world who do not have special constitutions but are born with mysterious powers. Nobody knows why. With such powers, they can develop a special skill in a part of their bodies and thus gain overwhelming strength! But these powers can only be inherited by their descendants, and that’s why they are as rare as the inheritors of Divine Prohibition.” White whispered, and then he warned, “Don’t look down upon such powers. This girl is an even greater talent of this type. Even if you try your best, you might get hurt by her attacks.”
“How could I look down upon her?” Lyu Liang smiled wryly. “This awesome girl is known as ‘Vileplume’! Just think about these two girls around me; one is the most intelligent, and the other is the most formidable. What huge gifts for me!”
“Hey! What are you thinking about? Attack me, or I will do so first!” Lin Qiangu became impatient.
“Wait a minute! Two and a half hours!” Lyu Liang waved his hands hastily. “That’s the time limit! If one of us is not defeated within two and a half hours, this match will end in a draw! If you do not agree, I will quit now!” Lyu Liang would rather be a coward than hurt a good girl.
“You…” Lin Qiangu paused her raised spear. She revealed her lovely canine teeth and said, “Fine! Two and a half hours! But I will deal with you within one and a half hours!”
Suddenly, Lyu Liang was lost in thought. Her appearance and her way of talking reminded him of Liu Jiawen.
“Is she still eluding those mysterious killers? Lyu Liang, how much time do you want to waste here?” Thinking about that, Lyu Liang raised his head and growled, “Come on! Fight me!”
“Eh? Good!” Lin Qiangu was surprised at Lyu Liang’s change. But then, she focused her attention and said lightly, “Divine Bone Arrows!”
As she shone with silver light, she stuck her spear into the earth.
The particles in the air began to shake. After a while, countless white, bony spikes were about to shoot at Lyu Liang from all directions! He was directly exposed to the danger within the range of 30 meters around himself.
“Ghost Soldiers!” Lyu Liang roared out. Numerous small black suns gathered together to form a cover, defending Lyu Liang against the attacks. Star-picking Palms were also stimulated to slap away the spikes, and more importantly, to toughen the defensive cover.
“Eh?” Lin Qiangu was surprised by Lyu Liang’s actions. Obviously, he planned to be defensive rather than launch attacks.
Lyu Liang continued to stimulate Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence. It did not shoot at the rival as usual, but formed a strong array to surround Lyu Liang.
Meanwhile, six Spirit Swallowing Bugs emerged and flew around Lyu Liang. Their movements seemed random, but actually, there were always four of them protecting Lyu Liang’s head, chest, spine, and throat.
This was the perfect defense!
“You… coward!” Lin Qiangu’s face was dark with rage. What she expected was an exciting battle rather than a dull cat-and-mouse game. “All right, let me teach you a lesson!”
“Limitation Bounds! The Blood Method of Bone!” Lin Qiangu’s eyes suddenly turned red, and some complicated patterns appeared vaguely on her forehead. As she crouched to hit the earth with both hands, the entire arena was enveloped by blood-red light!
“Dammit! Have I done something to displease you like this?” Lyu Liang could not help cursing. But soon, he calmed down and said in a low voice, “Please help me!”
After he had said that, another Lyu Liang emerged. As he waved his green sword lightly, several irregular space gaps were cleaved open in the void.
In the real Lyu Liang’s hand, the Xuan-Yuan Sword also caused the same effects. At the same time, it created several sharp wisps of Sword Qi to hit at Lin Qiangu.
“These are your ‘attacks’? Eh? Dammit! I will break your defense!” When Lin Qiangu prepared to taunt Lyu Liang for his weak attacks, she found that the Sword Qi was not intended to hurt her but to suppress her Divine Soul.
In fact, Lyu Liang had infused restrictive power into the Sword Qi in advance. When the Sword Qi approached Lin Qiangu, it turned into golden beams and encompassed her.
This was a clever trick. Lin Qingu’s Limitation Bounds of Blood was based on her strong Divine Soul. Therefore, Lyu Liang directly solved the problem at the source.
Of course, Lyu Liang did not feel at ease. This was all the defense he could use in his normal state. If this crazy girl burned her Divine Soul, he would have no choice but to stimulate his Divine Mark.
One and a half hours later, the weirdly-red arena was filled with Lin Qiangu’s lethal spikes. On the contrary, Lyu Liang had tried every means to protect himself from the attacks. The fiercer her attacks were, the tougher his defense became.
