The Iron Armor Beast's chrysanthemum received a fatal blow from Ouyang Shuo and was seriously injured. The shamelessness of the enemy made the Ironback Beast furious. It decided to throw caution to the wind and unleash its ultimate move!
The Ironback Beast stopped abruptly, turned around, and faced Ouyang Shuo again. It opened its bloody mouth again and took a deep breath. Its abdomen immediately swelled up like a giant meatball.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed, knowing that the Iron Armored Beast was about to go berserk. After being pierced by the Demonic Spear, the Iron Armor Beast was already bleeding internally. He was prepared to slowly kill it, but it seemed that his wish was going to fail.
The bulging abdomen of the Ironback Beast suddenly reflected a mysterious blue light. Obviously, it was going to use its ice skill again. It swallowed and spat out a huge blue ball of light.
The blue ball of light emitted waves of cold air. It was actually formed from pure ice energy.
Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to be careless and quickly dodged. The blue ball of light brushed past him.
What caused Ouyang Shuo to be horrified was that the blue ball of light actually seemed to have a mind of its own. It came to an abrupt stop, turned around, and actually ran after Ouyang Shuo, as if it swore not to give up.
My God, what is this thing? Had he come to the magical world? Ouyang Shuo was in disbelief.
Ouyang Shuo raised his speed to the limit, twisting and turning as he tried to shake off the blue ball of light's pursuit. Unfortunately, no matter how many feints he made, or how many feints he made, the ball of light pursued him relentlessly, as if it had eyes.
Running like this wasn't a solution. Ouyang Shuo didn't want to sit and wait for death.
As he ran, he turned around to observe the ball of light behind him.
On the surface, the blue ball of light looked like a ball of frost energy. There was nothing special about it. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to chase after the enemy.
Could it be that the problem was still with the Iron-Armored Beast?
Ouyang Shuo's heart skipped a beat as he turned to look at the Ironback Beast. At this time, the Ironback was motionless. The abdomen of the Ironback had also shriveled up again, and it seemed to be a little weak.
Only that ugly head and that pair of comical little eyes were staring at Ouyang Shuo from side to side.
Ouyang Shuo turned left, and the Ironback turned left; Ouyang Shuo turned right, and the Ironback turned right, and its eyes never left Ouyang Shuo.
Could it be that the blue light ball was controlled by the Ironback?
Ouyang Shuo decided to try.
Since it was controlled by the Ironback, there must be a distance limit. As long as Ouyang Shuo ran further away, he didn't believe that the ball of light would be able to follow him.
Ouyang Shuo stopped moving left and right, and directly ran outside.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between Ouyang Shuo and the Ironback was more than a hundred meters.
He looked back and saw that the blue ball of light behind him had begun to sway. It was no longer as arrogant as before. There was also anxiety in the eyes of the Iron-Armored Beast.
Ouyang Shuo's heart calmed down. He knew that his guess was correct, so he ran with all his might.
When the distance was more than two hundred meters, the blue ball of light finally stopped chasing, swaying, and actually began to fly in the direction of the Ironback Beast.
Two hundred meters was the limit of the Ironback Beast's manipulation.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed as an idea flashed through his mind. He finally thought of something that matched the scene in front of him. It was said that some lucky Spirit Beasts or Desolate Beasts could nurture an Inner Core within their bodies.
Not only could the Neidan strengthen the Desolate Beast, it could also be used as a means of attack. The Desolate Beast could force the Neidan out of its body, and then, through the mysterious connection between the Neidan and the Neidan, it could attack remotely.
Ouyang Shuo had never thought of Neidans before because Desolate Beasts that could nurture Neidans were too rare. Out of ten thousand Desolate Beasts, there might not be one.
He had never thought that the first Desolate Beast he encountered would have a Neidan in its body.
What a stroke of luck!
With Ouyang Shuo's luck, he couldn't believe that such a good thing would fall into his lap.
Neidans were good stuff, and they had endless uses …
If a player directly consumed a Neidan, not only could they greatly increase their Inner Force, but they could also have a second talent. If the Neidan was given to a Taoist priest to refine into a pill, the effect would be even more amazing.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo perked up.
Ouyang Shuo ran with all his might to the Ironback Beast and shouted to Wang Feng and the others, "Quick, stop that ball of light. Don't let the Ironback Beast return to its stomach!"
The Neidan leaving the body was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because the Neidan was the most effective at this time. If the Desolate Beast was killed and the Neidan was taken from its body, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Wang Feng and the others kept a close eye on the battlefield, ready to help the Marquis at any time. Hearing the Marquis's order, they didn't think about the reason at all and immediately attacked.
The Royal Guards were well-trained, so they didn't swarm the Ironback Beast. Only the most elite soldiers rushed out, and they were basically platoon leaders.
As for the ordinary soldiers, they were nothing in front of the Ironback Beast. If they swarmed the Ironback Beast, not only would they be of no help, but they would also cause unnecessary casualties.
The elite squad was divided into two groups. One group, led by Wang Feng, began to attack the Ironback Beast, distracting it from controlling the blue ball of light. The other group went straight to the blue ball of light, trying to stop it.
Seeing this, the Ironback Beast looked even more anxious. After releasing the Neidan, it couldn't move and could only let the enemy attack it. That was also the reason why Desolate Beasts usually didn't attack with their Neidan. If it hadn't been completely infuriated by Ouyang Shuo, the Ironback Beast would never have done this.
Wang Feng's combat ability was comparable to that of the Ironback Beast, and he was the main attacker. He was also a ruthless man. Following Ouyang Shuo's attack route, he specifically attacked the Ironback Beast's buttocks.
The incomparably tragic scene played out once again.
The Ironback Beast went completely crazy. It simply began to command the Neidan to attack the soldiers of the Royal Guards. At this time, the Neidan had returned to within a range of 100 meters, and it was extremely fast. Ouyang Shuo was already in danger to avoid the Neidan, let alone the soldiers of the Royal Guards, even if they were the elites of the elites.
Anyone who was hit by the Neidan would be immediately frozen and turned into an "ice sculpture."
For a moment, the Royal Guards suffered heavy losses.
Even so, no one flinched.
Wang Feng saw his elite subordinates being slaughtered by the Ironback Beast, and the trace of pity in his heart was immediately thrown out of his mind. His long spear directly pierced through the Ironback Beast's buttocks, reaching the Ironback Beast's internal organs.
That was not all. Wang Feng turned the spear and smashed the Ironback Beast's internal organs. The Ironback Beast's vitality was also tenacious. Even so, it still commanded the Neidan to attack the Royal Guards.
Fortunately, at this time, Ouyang Shuo finally arrived. He caught the Neidan and fought with it. After all, the Ironback Beast was seriously injured. It was barely able to command the Neidan.
In front of Ouyang Shuo, the Royal Guards were no longer a threat.
Seeing that the Marquis had arrived, the Royal Guards instinctively retreated. They didn't forget to carry away the bodies of their frozen companions, trying to break the ice and rescue them.
Five minutes later, the Ironback Beast finally reached its end because of massive internal bleeding.
The Neidan was shaking and was about to fall. Ouyang Shuo reacted quickly and grabbed the Neidan in his hand.
Miraculously, as soon as the Ironback Beast died, the Neidan quickly shrank and condensed into a bead-like Neidan. Although it was still glowing blue, he didn't feel cold at all when he held it in his hand.
Ouyang Shuo took out a wooden box from his Storage Pouch, put the Neidan in the box, and put it back.
After putting away the Neidan, Ouyang Shuo didn't check the Ironback Beast's body. Instead, he went to the frozen soldiers of the Royal Guards. These soldiers had just been frozen and could still be saved.
Ouyang Shuo pressed his palm on the ice sculpture, poured his golden inner strength into his palm, and then pushed it into the ice. This kind of ice was made of special energy and couldn't be melted by high temperature. The only way to melt it was with inner strength.
With the help of the golden inner strength, the ice sculpture melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Two minutes later, one of the "ice sculptures" was completely melted. The soldiers inside were still alive, but it was inevitable that they were heavily injured and had to rest for a while.
Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to delay and continued to melt the other ice sculptures.
In a short time, ten soldiers were frozen. Ouyang Shuo had to race against time.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo's inner strength was limited. Melting the second ice sculpture consumed half of his inner strength. In other words, he could only save four soldiers at most. As for Wang Feng, although he practiced the Eight Extremities Fist Scripture, his inner strength was ordinary and couldn't melt the ice at all.
When Ouyang Shuo was about to melt the third ice sculpture, his body suddenly trembled and a strong sense of weakness came from his body without warning. The Demon's Possession could only last for half an hour, and it was already the time limit.
The aftereffect of removing the Demon's Possession was that the body would be weak like a serious illness.
This was easy to understand. It was like a person bursting out all the energy in his body in a short period of time, like a machine overloading itself. It would inevitably cause damage to the body. If Ouyang Shuo didn't want to leave behind any hidden dangers, he could only trigger the Demon's Possession once a month.
Ouyang Shuo's body returned to its normal size and he felt weak. This was the aftereffect of activating his bloodline. For the next week, he couldn't use any martial arts.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo still insisted on melting the ice sculptures. It was a matter of life and he couldn't slack off.
Forcing his body to melt the fourth ice sculpture, Ouyang Shuo's inner strength was used up. At this moment, his face was pale and his body was weak. It was difficult for him to even stand normally.
Seeing the Marquis putting in so much effort to save the soldiers, the Imperial Guards shed tears of gratitude.
Ouyang Shuo's body swayed and he didn't have time to greet everyone. He directly sat down and began to meditate and circulate the Yellow Thearch's Canon of Internal Medicine to replenish his inner strength. At this moment, Ouyang Shuo's Dantian was empty. There wasn't even a trace of inner strength left. He was like an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts.
After exhausting his inner strength for the first time and circulating the Yellow Thearch's Canon of Internal Medicine, Ouyang Shuo felt a sharp pain in his meridians. This situation was very dangerous. Experienced people in the martial arts world would basically not use up all their inner energy. No matter what, they would leave a bit of it behind so that they could activate their inner force.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo's meridians would feel a sharp pain in his meridians.
Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo's meridians were extremely tough under the long-term conditioning of the golden inner strength. He finally made it through. When his Dantian once again produced a trace of golden inner strength, Ouyang Shuo felt relieved. He knew that he had passed the most difficult hurdle.
Thinking about it, he still had a lingering fear.
What he didn't expect was that the newly produced inner strength was even purer.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise!
Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to do this again. Who knew if he could make it through next time. (To be continued.)
