Chapter 219: Breakthrough Forced by Five Lightning Whips
Yan Xu's eyes opened wide, his face turned red as the blood surged up, and his hands, with bulging veins, clenched the Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightly. As the volcanic power erupted, the heavy Green Dragon Crescent Blade seemed to have lost its weight, and it flashed across the night sky as fast as lightning, leaving only a glaring residue on the retina.
Minister Wu is indeed powerful. With his Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Kung Fu, he can tear foreigners apart with his bare hands and is invulnerable to swords and spears. But he is a martial artist after all. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot stop Yan Xu, who is almost inhumane. Not to mention that the weapon he was hit by is the magic weapon-level Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Even if he was made of copper and iron, he would be torn apart today.
But what Yan Xu didn't expect was that Minister Wu didn't even think about dodging. He just stood on tiptoe and moved half a foot higher.
This half foot could not save his life, but it turned the blow that was coming diagonally from his shoulder into a cut in the middle from his ribs, which actually prolongs the pain.
But for the loyal Minister Wu, rather than a quick and decisive blow that could free him, he hoped to gain some time, some time to be loyal to the court.
Yan Xu, who was standing with a knife in his hand, felt his hair stand on end when he saw Minister Wu's creepy smile. He wanted to withdraw immediately, even though there was only one-third of a person who was about to die in front of him.
But it was too late. The talisman that Minister Wu kept close to his body had already been activated. Suddenly, there was a loud thunder and five lightning bolts turned into long whips, which lashed down one after another at lightning speed, leaving no time for people to react.
In fact, Minister Wu has no control over the Five Thunder Talisman at all. After all, he is a martial artist, not a cultivator. He can only activate it at most, so who will be struck by it in the end depends entirely on luck. It is more suitable to be used to die together.
But Yan Xu was nearly two meters tall, wearing a close-fitting metal armor, and holding a thick and long Green Dragon Crescent Blade. To be honest, it was difficult to hit him off target, so he did not waste any of this whole set of five lightning whips. All of them landed accurately on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and then the thick electric current gathered to cover his whole body with a dazzling electric grid. The current was so strong that it even pierced through the air, forming a brilliant shape similar to a dandelion, and a feeling of fireworks. Anyway, if you don't consider the feeling, it's still quite beautiful.
Yan Xu's physics grades were not very good, so he had no idea how much electricity the lightning that struck him could convert into, or how much destructive power it had. He just felt numbness all over, followed by a tearing pain, and soon even his consciousness became blank.
Minister Wu, who fell to the ground and coughed up blood, laughed heartily three times, but he did not have the confidence to say his last words. After all, he only had one-third of his strength left, and he had lost all his strength.
After vomiting all the air in one breath, Minister Wu's neck tilted and he fell dead on the spot, but there was still a smile on his face. Perhaps at the moment of death, he felt the emperor's praise for his loyalty.
"Oh no, it's the Five Thunder Talisman!" Simu, whose attention was attracted by the thunder, said in panic, but he was almost caught by the royal zombie. It was Master Ikkyu who managed to repel it with his profound Buddhist teachings, but he could only repel it and could not hurt the opponent at all.
In fact, it is no wonder that Simu was so surprised, because the gradual decline of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth affected not only the cultivators, but also the magical instruments and talismans and so on. High-end talismans like the Five Thunder Talisman are now difficult to draw. They have become the foundation of various sects and will not be used easily. Even he has only heard of them but has never seen them.
Minister Wu had one talisman that was prepared by the court for him to use on the golden-horned bronze coffin, but the royal zombie was accidentally struck by lightning, forcing him to save this extremely precious talisman, which he used on the unlucky Yan Xu.
Because Yan Xu was accidentally struck by lightning, the three people's attention was distracted. The increasingly clever royal zombie took the opportunity to catch the little prince. He didn't care that the other party was poking him with a knife, and he was suffocated decisively. This was a big deal. The zombie drank the blood of blood relatives, which was already a great tonic, not to mention the integration of the dragon energy of the little prince. The combination of life and death dragon energy caused the royal zombie to undergo strange changes. His bones and muscles became very strange, and his body was covered with a layer of flesh scales.
They were unable to attack in the first place, and now they couldn't even break the defense, forcing the three of them to tumble and crawl in a panic.
At this time Yan Xu fell into a special state. Because he had been using divine strikes and divine power to assist in his cultivation for a long time, it had almost become an instinct. So after being struck by lightning, even if he lost consciousness, he still activated the dual state. This not only saved his life, but also started a new evolution with the help of the power of thunder and lightning.
The ghost body that Yan Xu obtained from Xiang Gui actually had an upper limit, otherwise the Japanese would be under the control of the ghost, but the ghost's physique still brought him great help, at least allowing him to survive the authentic lightning five-whip, and the fatal death crisis and physical injuries forced him to break through.
It is not so easy to break through. Generally speaking, the success rate is less than one in ten thousand, not to mention that Yan Xu's potential has been exhausted and there is no room for development. But who let him cheat?
The ghost's strong physique and vitality allowed him to stay alive while maintaining vitality. After activating the dual state, he not only broke the upper limit of the ghost body, but also broke his own upper limit. The residual electric current no longer destroyed the cells, but instead showed signs of fusion.
The human body has a magnetic field, and Yan Xu's extremely strong body makes his magnetic field stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is still impossible to integrate external electric current. This is not a matter of probability. If it is impossible, it is impossible and it is not scientific.
But after Yan Xu activated the dual state, it was equivalent to obtaining divine power, so the impossible became possible. At the same time, his strong body, quick adaptability, and tenacious vitality made everything become natural.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xu finally regained consciousness, and at the same time discovered how bad his body was.
The lightning caused great damage to his body, and the adaptation and recovery of his body also consumed a lot of his energy. In the absence of enough fat, his muscles were also devoured. In short, he has become skinny and can't even hold up the tattered body armor.
But Yan Xu was very surprised to find that his life had become extremely vigorous. This contradictory feeling made him wonder whether he was dying and was in his last moments of life, or was really fine.
In any case, the first thing to deal with now is the royal zombie. Simu and the others can't hold on any longer. Once this zombie sucks the blood of three practitioners, no one will be able to cure it, unless Yan Xu can reproduce the knife that Guandi slashed out when he was possessed.
The tingling pain all over his body made Yan Xu give up his plan of using force. His physical body was seriously damaged and he didn't know how many hidden injuries he had. It would not be wise to take direct action.
Although he couldn't use force, it didn't mean that he had no other options. He saw a chain secretly sliding down his trouser leg, and then like a snake, it kept twisting and extending in the grass.
