Bam! Bam! Bam!
Lou Cheng spread out his fists, punching, thrusting, crushing, and hammering. Every move was heavy and carried a tinge of purple. He launched a frenzied attack with no gaps in between, just like the blazing flames in the prairie.
In terms of close combat, both "Fire-like Invasion" and "Blizzard Storm" belonged to the best of the best in this field. Lou Cheng was a martial artist who specialized in this field. In an instant, he completely suppressed Talin, causing him to be unable to cope with his attacks and be unable to do anything.
However, Talin's Half-Dead Body had immense strength and could move like the wind. He was slightly better than Lou Cheng in these two aspects. Moreover, his body was sturdy, close to the strength of the Golden Bell Shield of the same level. Ordinary attacks and flames had little effect on him. Therefore, he relied on simple and violent moves to block his opponent. Although he was at a disadvantage, he didn't panic and didn't show any signs of losing.
If it weren't for such a miraculous Half-Dead Body Technique, it wouldn't have become one of the supreme secret arts of the Witch King lineage.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
As their fists and feet collided, the purple flames scattered and the greyish-white light dimmed. Muffled thunder-like sounds echoed continuously. They seemed to stack together, but at the same time, they seemed to last forever.
As they fought, rings of white air billows gushed out from the places where Lou Cheng and Talin exchanged blows. They stirred up strong winds, stirring up dirt and even blowing away broken trees.
Shadow Hunter Cheng An had wanted to use the fact that he was an Inhuman expert to approach and assist Lou Cheng. He wanted to quickly finish off the Physical Invulnerability Mighty One with countless strange skills. However, he couldn't break through the wind barrier. The further he went, the harder it got. In the end, he couldn't even move an inch.
Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, with no clear victor and no opportunity to escape, Talin's heart sank. This was because the Half-Dead Body Technique could only last for five minutes.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he clenched his teeth and twisted his arms forward. They transformed into two pythons and coiled around Lou Cheng's fists.
At the same time, his eyes turned green. Black smoke rose from his greyish-white cracked skin. His body instantly shrank by a size.
The moment the black smoke appeared, it took shape and turned into half a ring. It wrapped around Lou Cheng, then contracted and locked him in place.
Witch King's secret technique, Ghost Lock!
Faced with such a situation, Lou Cheng took a deep breath, retracted his Qi and blood, and forcefully pulled back his fist.
Ice and fire embraced each other as the great pellet condensed. He shifted the constellations and outlined the word "Battle" that seemed to be able to battle the heavens and the earth!
At this moment, Talin didn't take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he retracted his arms and formed a strange seal in front of him.
Bang!
Lou Cheng's body expanded, causing the Ghost Lock to crack apart. Talin's figure turned eerily blurry as though he had turned into a grayish-white shadow.
The "shadow" twisted and collapsed, splitting into nine parts. They fled at high speed in various directions of the forest. Each one seemed to be fake, but each one could be real.
It was the ultimate escape technique of the Witch Kings, Chaos of the Nine Sons!
Lou Cheng quickly reformed his Ice Heart and used the Deity spell above his head. However, he still couldn't tell which shadow was Talin!
Seeing that the other party was about to escape from the range of his mind power, he raised his hands to draw the ancient characters and said in a dignified voice,
"Column!"
The Dequeuing Formula of the Nine Words Formula!
The original purpose of this secret technique was to stack the strength of a team and complete a joint attack. Like the rope in a tug-of-war, it allowed everyone to rely on each other and tidy up their scattered and messy thoughts.
However, such a combination couldn't be forced. After the Column Formula was used, the other party had to be willing to let go of their subconscious resistance for it to take effect. Therefore, it couldn't create the strange scene of stacking the strength of the enemy.
As for Smith and the rest, they were outside of his mental range, so they weren't within the effective range of the Column Formula.
Lou Cheng used it at this moment to test the waters!
The real Talin would resist, but the illusory shadow wouldn't react unless it had sentience.
This way, it would be clear who was real and who was fake.
In a flash, Lou Cheng found a way to break through the Chaos of the Nine Sons. He didn't take the conventional route.
A mysterious feeling spread rapidly. His mind seemed to have turned into a radar.
In the blink of an eye, Feedback appeared. Lou Cheng aimed at the grayish-white shadow on his left and threw a punch.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt! Behind his back and under his feet, waves of light blue flames spurted out, pushing him through layers of air barriers. He flashed behind the shadow and struck the back of its head without slowing down.
Talin's pupils contracted. His eyes narrowed to the size of a needle.
He didn't expect the Chaos of the Nine Sons to be able to fool Lou Cheng all the time. However, he believed that Lou Cheng wouldn't be able to tell in a short period of time. This confidence was cultivated from hundreds of battles.
Once he entered a safe distance, he would have too many ways to escape pursuit.
However, Lou Cheng didn't waste any time. He seemed to have seen through the real thing at a glance.
This was simply too frightening, enough to make one feel despair!
As his thoughts drifted, Talin's eyes revealed a ruthless look. He leaned forward and dodged the Iron Fist that was aimed at the back of his head. At the same time, he raised his left arm as though he was subconsciously maintaining his balance.
Bam!
Lou Cheng ignited Emperor Yan Force. He lowered his shoulder and forcefully changed the direction of his fist. The punch was supposed to be a hammer strike.
At that moment, Talin's raised left arm suddenly exploded. Blood and flesh splattered and drenched half of Lou Cheng's body.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle! Amidst the terrifying sounds of corrosion, Talin's dark green martial arts suit turned black and tattered. The skin on Lou Cheng's arms, shoulders, chest, and face started to fester rapidly. Worms seemed to have fused with Talin's flesh as they wriggled and tried to burrow into his body.
Shaman King's body-damaging secret technique, Flesh and Blood Spirit Gu!
The intense pain caused Lou Cheng's hammer strike to lose its strength. His body paused involuntarily. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Talin accelerated again and pounced towards the forest at the edge of the clearing.
Lou Cheng's Ice Heart swayed but didn't disintegrate. He endured the pain and executed Lord Emperor's Purple Flames.
With a whoosh, faint purple flames appeared around his body. They wandered around the surface of his body like flowing water, igniting Talin's flesh and blood. The tiny insects turned black, then charred, and finally started burning.
No Gu worm wasn't afraid of flames. If there was, he would increase the temperature.
Bam bam bam! Amidst the purple flames, the bits of flesh either turned to ashes or fell off. Lou Cheng's skin, muscles, and hair merely curled up slightly and gave off a barbecued smell.
This was the fire control ability of a Fire Sect Physical Invulnerability expert!
While the faint purple flames around him swayed and danced, Lou Cheng endured the pain and raised his hands. Using an area of effect technique, he started forming hand seals at Talin, who was moving left and right.
As the ancient word formed, he exhaled and said,
"Confrontation!"
The hatred and urgency in Talin's heart dissipated instantly. He became sluggish and drowsy, returning to his usual state of recuperation after being injured.
Not good! He bit the tip of his tongue and forcefully raised his Mentality.
At this moment, the ancient word in Lou Cheng's mind changed. He used the Simplified Attainment Formula and caught up to Talin in two strides. He shook his arm and threw a punch.
Talin shook off his sluggish and drowsy state. He quickly lowered his missing left shoulder and blocked his opponent's right fist.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't panic. He remembered to let the grayish-white fog pass under his skin to prevent freezing and stiffening. As for explosions and burns, he had to rely on the sturdiness of his body.
Just as the two came into contact, Lou Cheng suddenly turned his fist into a palm. Pressing down with force, he bent his back and flipped himself up. He leaped above his opponent and threw a punch head-first at his Baihui acupoint.
Talin's half-dead body had outstanding brute strength and incredible speed. However, when it came to close combat techniques, he couldn't catch up to Lou Cheng no matter how hard he tried. Seeing the sudden turn of events, he could only shrink his neck in panic and raise his right fist.
However, Lou Cheng opened his left hand again and pressed lightly on Talin's fist, infusing it with Ice Spirit Force. Then, using the force, he flipped over and jumped to the back of his opponent. While in mid-air, he tightened his right leg and whipped it backwards like a steel whip with a spring attached to it.
Talin's body turned cold and slowed down slightly. He wanted to throw himself forward, but it was too late. He barely avoided being hit in his vital organs and was kicked in the right shoulder by Lou Cheng.
Bam!
His shoulder collapsed and was badly mangled. Although his arm didn't fall off, he couldn't exert any strength.
Feeling a chill in his heart, Talin twisted his body like a boneless person and looked at Lou Cheng. His eyes burned like green flames as a strange and terrifying feeling spread out.
Lou Cheng, who had just steadied himself and turned his body, instantly felt his surroundings turn dark. The craters left behind by the cannon fire had disappeared. The dense forest had disappeared. Smith and the rest had disappeared as well.
The darkness was quickly dyed with green, blood red, and other colors. Talin stood out. He was at least a hundred meters tall, with heads and arms all over his body. Countless eyes stared at him without blinking.
The intense fear seemed to materialize and turned into a sea of insects that covered the sky. As Monster Talin's countless huge palms pressed down, they drowned out Lou Cheng.
Secret Spirit Technique of the Witch King Lineage, Savage Sacrifice!
Lou Cheng's body was transparent as though he was made of ice crystals. Under such circumstances and attacks, cracks appeared one after another.
Even with Enemy Heart Freezing Move, he couldn't completely neutralize his opponent's attack.
At the critical moment, Lou Cheng suddenly disappeared from Monster Talin's eyes.
In addition to the dark green and blood-red colors, there was a boundless darkness. There were also distant and resplendent stars. The hundred-meter-tall giant and the innumerable insects were so small that they could be ignored. The terrifying atmosphere suddenly weakened by quite a bit.
Just as Talin was about to respond, the stars started to move rapidly, forming nine mysterious and ancient words.
"Confrontation"! "Army"! "Fighting"! "Swordsman"! "Wholeness"! "Formation"! "Deference"! "Forwarding"! "Attainment"!
In an instant, the nine ancient words shone brightly and pierced through the pure mental domain. They tore apart the green, blood, insects, and giant.
Talin instinctively tilted his head back as grayish-white blood flowed out of his nose.
Rumble!
Smith and the rest seized the opportunity and fired a rocket, forcing Talin to dodge pathetically.
Both his arms were disabled, his attacks were ineffective, his enemies surrounded him, and his opponents were strong. All of this made him feel despair.
Ruthlessness reappeared in Talin's eyes as he looked at Lou Cheng and shouted,
"Let's die together!"
His grayish-white body spontaneously combusted. His flesh and soul turned into the most ferocious curse, silently and formlessly attacking Lou Cheng. He didn't know where to dodge.
It was Life Curse, the secret technique of the Witch Kings that would perish together!
He wanted to use the curse ignited by his life to break through the defense of his opponent's supernatural ability.
Lou Cheng was alarmed. Without thinking, he retracted his Qi and blood to balance the ice and fire, forming the Jindan that looked like a miniature universe.
After the real Jindan shattered and fused with his body, his ability to repel curses had indeed improved. However, compared to the Longhu Immortal, who was truly skilled in curses, he was still lacking. He wasn't as strong as when he had the Jindan.
However, the Longhu Immortal's ability didn't appear out of nowhere. It was based on his Jindan Technique, Nine Words Formula, and secret technique.
Unfortunately, for a Physical Invulnerability Mighty One who was skilled in curses, Lou Cheng had obtained all of these.
Therefore, he could temporarily improve his ability to repel curses in battle.
The stars moved and the Nine Words Formula formed a complicated seal script. Ripples spread to every corner of the universe.
The blood was swept away. The flames on Talin's body were extinguished as his body melted like a candle.
The light in his eyes faded. Talin muttered to himself,
"Why is everything countered by you …"
His voice gradually faded into silence. Soon, he was reduced to a pile of flesh and blood.
Smith, Dwight, Cheng An, Jian Dan, and the rest watched from afar, forgetting to put down their weapons.
A Physical Invulnerability Terror Grade expert had fallen in front of them.
And he only had one opponent.
