Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 632 - 592: Arrogance, Spellbreaking (Combined - )_2
Chapter 632: Chapter 592: Arrogance, Spellbreaking (Combined Chapter)_2
The tips of the needles emit a faint glow, each only a few inches long, resembling real embroidery needles in size.
All the golden needles are uniformly arranged up and down, left and right, densely packed, spreading over a wide area, seemingly numbering in the hundreds or thousands.
“Golden Needle Technique?”
“To be able to instantly cast this spell indicates a deep mastery, which requires at least ten to twenty years of practice to reach, but can it be used to counter lightning magic?”
“Foolish, doesn’t he know that gold attracts lightning even more easily?”
Some cultivators from the Northern Domain, seeing Lou Yi use the Golden Needle Technique, felt a sense of frustration as if they were disappointed in someone who fails to live up to expectations.
But unexpectedly.
The golden needles, originally scattered in their arrangement, quickly began to regroup just as the blue electric arc was about to strike.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a slender chain of golden needles, the end piercing the palace’s white jade brick, making intimate contact with the earth, even penetrating deep underground into unknown depths.
’Zzzzz!’
The blue electric arc hit the golden needles, then quickly traveled along the chain from top to bottom, emitting a glaring blue light.
All of it rushed into the ground beneath the palace.
’Crackle!’
’Boom boom boom!’
The sound of intense explosions resounded from underground, and everyone seemed to feel the entire palace shaking.
Gu Zhao’s thunder strike had no effect, as Lou Yi still stood unharmed at the original spot.
“Impressive! To think of diverting the power of thunder underground, why didn’t I think of it?”
“Even if you thought of it, you couldn’t do it. Can you instantly cast spells?
Can you accurately intercept? Do you have the courage to do so?”
Seeing Lou Yi’s maneuver, after a round of discussion, the crowd marveled even more.
Diverting the opponent’s thunder magic underground seemed simple.
In reality, it required powerful control over magic, extremely accurate judgment, and steadfast willpower.
Missing any of these would make it difficult to achieve.
“He’s got some abilities.” After his attack had no effect, Gu Zhao from the Thunder Shock Sect showed no sign of disappointment, instead nodding approvingly at Lou Yi,
“It seems, not all of the Northern Domain are foolish beyond help; there are still a few promising talents.”
Although he seemed to be praising, his tone was full of an annoying superiority.
“However, you can intercept one attack, what about ten, a hundred?”
Gu Zhao’s face took on a mocking expression.
Next, above his palm appeared the blue-purple thunderball that had shown up before, spinning rapidly.
As the thunderball’s brightness increased, wave-like electric arcs gradually spread around it.
There were dozens of them, slithering like snakes in the air, ready to detach from the ball, rushing to bite Lou Yi.
“Is that so?”
Lou Yi’s gaze sharpened as spiritual power surged from all over his body.
The eagle in his mind, comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, kept crying out, focusing his spirit to a new realm.
In the next moment, the space all around Gu Zhao was filled densely with floating golden needles, in numbers far exceeding before, covering the entire area with no blind spot.
“How could anyone have practiced Golden Needle Technique to such an extent?!”
Seeing Lou Yi’s attack, Gu Zhao’s expression changed drastically.
To instantly control so many golden needles, even at the level of mastery in the spell, would be impossible.
It would also require an extremely powerful Divine Sense, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it dangerous.
He couldn’t imagine it.
Lou Yi, although outwardly an eighth-level Qi Cultivation cultivator, had Divine Sense cultivation even stronger than the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Damn it!”
Facing the overwhelming golden needles closing in with barely any gap exposed.
A drop of sweat the size of a bean appeared unconsciously on Gu Zhao’s forehead.
The thunderball above his palm dared not move an inch.
If thunder element magic were employed.
The golden needles, which conduct electricity strongly, would teach him the meaning of backlash.
However, the needles were approaching faster and faster, and if he didn’t act, he would eventually be defeated.
Thinking this, a fierce look flashed in Gu Zhao’s eyes.
From his body flew a silver light, aggressively charging towards the myriad golden needles, it was a flying sword.
“Break for me!”
The flying sword struck forcefully at the net formed by the golden needles, making ’clang clang clang’ sounds as sparks flew, ultimately cutting a gap hard and fast.
Then, bright electric arcs shot rapidly through the gap, heading towards Lou Yi.
“Success!” Gu Zhao’s eyes lit up, and he laughed triumphantly, “To push me to this point, you can be proud…”
His words had not yet finished.
In front of the electric arcs, a series of golden needles appeared unexpectedly, as if waiting for them to collide.
These golden needles trailed long tails, connected to the golden needle array arranged in front of Gu Zhao.
In an instant.
’Crackle!’
’Boom, boom, boom!’
In everyone’s view, the golden needles in front of Gu Zhao quickly formed a massive blue-violet electric net, arcs shooting everywhere, explosions reverberating, completely engulfing him.
“Not good!”
The leading man from Thunder Shock Sect’s expression changed. A startling white light shot from his sleeve, forcibly breaking open the electric net array and rescuing his disciple Gu Zhao.
At this moment, Gu Zhao’s skin surface was charred black, all his hair stood up like a porcupine, his eyes closed tight, obviously unconscious.
“We admit defeat in this round.” He spoke, his expression looking somewhat unpleasant.
At his glance, another young disciple stepped out from Thunder Shock Sect.
His appearance was ordinary, wearing a pale purple Daoist robe, but his aura was even stronger than Gu Zhao’s, nearly exceeding the limit of Qi Cultivation.
“I am Ning Fa, a disciple of Thunder Shock Sect.
Fellow Daoist Lou is truly formidable, defeating Gu Zhao and making us look at him with new eyes.
However, the move just now must have greatly consumed your spiritual power. Can you still use it again?”
The young man named Ning Fa smiled confidently.
Everyone looked over.
They found Lou Yi’s spiritual power aura had thinned considerably, fluctuating as if on the brink, evidently running low from the previous move.
“I indeed have only twenty percent of my spiritual power left.” Lou Yi said.
With a wave of his hand, a black and white scroll rapidly unfolded on the ground, neatly trapping the unprepared Ning Fa within.
“However, what I excel at is array formation.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Fa’s face transformed.
A gust of wind appeared around him, lifting him up as he attempted to escape the scroll’s encirclement.
But the black and white scroll of the array map moved as swiftly as a flying sword under Lou Yi’s control, persistently following him, making escape difficult.
’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’
One hundred and eight skeletal auxiliary corpses descended from the sky, accurately landing on various points of the array map, all turning to stare at Ning Fa.
Their lifeless eyes chilled his heart.
’Boom!’
Following this, the array patterns beneath the auxiliary corpses activated, a massive influx of gray ribbons surged, threatening to drown Ning Fa.
“Get away from me!!!”
Ning Fa held a primitive bronze longbow in his hand.
He struck the empty string, and then arrows imbued with thunder-light flew out, piercing the void towards the dense gray ribbons, attempting to break them.
The power of thunder element magic indeed surpassed ordinary Five Elements magic, causing the ribbons to vibrate relentlessly, risking being shattered.
But the sheer number of ribbons seemed endless.
After all, Lou Yi’s hundred corpses array was intended for dealing with Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.
Therefore, Ning Fa’s struggle was futile; he was eventually submerged by the gray ribbons.
When Lou Yi withdrew the array.
Only one unconscious Thunder Shock Sect disciple remained lying on the ground.
“Hiss…”
Witnessing Lou Yi’s astounding performance, members from both Northern Domain sects and Thunder Shock Sect showed signs of immense dismay.
“Forget it, why not come at me all together.” Lou Yi said to the disciples of Thunder Shock Sect, returning the exact sentiment.
The Thunder Shock Sect members were furious, their faces flushed red, smoke nearly rising from their heads.
“Young man from Northern Domain’s minor sect, don’t be too arrogant in conduct!”
“Weren’t these your words earlier, and now that I say them, you’re unhappy?”
“It’s a pity that the most formidable geniuses of our sect haven’t arrived, otherwise you wouldn’t have your moment of arrogance!”
“So, you admit that you’re not among the top of your sect, you’re leftovers, so you came to Qingluan Palace seeking alliance?”
“…”
Lou Yi’s words left the Thunder Shock Sect disciples speechless.
If they denied, it would mean the most talented disciples from Thunder Shock Sect couldn’t contend with members of a minor Northern Domain sect, embarrassing news that would become ridicule within Central Continent.
If they admitted, it would imply they had disregarded Qingluan Palace entirely.
Meanwhile, the expressions of many female cultivators from Qingluan Palace worsened seeing their silence.
