Chapter 92: Platinum and Ants
The neon lightning-like speed did not decrease in the slightest, and every time his body flashed, a soul beast would be torn apart and blood splattered. However, there were more and more soul beasts swarming in, and even before such a cold humanoid slashing weapon as Neon, there were still soul beasts roaring and breaking through Neon's defenses, and they vibrated their huge flesh wings and rushed towards Qila in a frenzy.
However, after passing through the two lines of defense in front of the Netherworld, Shenyin and Neon, most of the combat power has been consumed, and the number has become sparse from overwhelming.
Kira raised her gaze and looked at the neon in front of her, who was fighting alone, and there was no longer a figure of Treya in her field of vision. The corners of his mouth were filled with a charming smile, his eyes briefly flashed with golden light, and then in an instant, several soul beasts flying and roaring around him suddenly fell from the air, and a deep hole the thickness of a finger appeared in their throats, spraying hot blood. Neon turned his head and looked at Qira standing on the cliff without moving, his hands shrouded in the pitch-black robe, which was swept by the wind, like a huge black lotus in full bloom. Countless soul beasts continued to fall from the sky around Qila, and his feet were soon filled with the corpses of soul beasts. Neon frowned, barely catching a fleeting glimmer of platinum in her sight. He could only vaguely sense the intricate soul power around Qira as if it was a golden thread, which was completely different from the violent and turbulent soul power of the Netherworld and himself, and the soul power around his body loomed and was difficult to discern, and instantly converged into a golden wire of incredible strength, but disappeared without a trace in less than a second. Neon turned around and looked around for Treya, if only she were.
Looking at Qi La, who was still and motionless, Kirin was a little dumbfounded: "It's really scary...... Isn't he too fast? In my opinion, he didn't shoot at all, and although his talent is the limit of time, space, and speed, it's a bit outrageous......"
"No, although Chira has the fastest speed of all the kings, however, no matter how fast he is, he cannot exceed the limit of his gaze, which is the perception of light by our naked eyes. If you look closely, he doesn't look like he's stationary because he's fast, in fact he doesn't really make any movements. It wasn't him who killed the soul beasts around him, but his Horcruxes. Tianbou Youhua looked at Qila under the cliff and thought thoughtfully.
"Horcruxes, his Horcruxes are invisible?" Qiling looked at Kira with wide eyes, trying to distinguish carefully.
"No, his Horcruxes are not invisible. Do you see the fleeting faint platinum glow around him? I think that's the light reflected off his Horcrux as it flies and slashes. Judging from the narrow and deep wounds on those soul beasts, his horcruxes should be similar to a thin sword or something. It is precisely because the sword body is so thin that when it shuttles and slashes rapidly, it will cause the naked eye to be unable to distinguish, and only the residual glimmer can be captured. However, the terrifying thing about his Horcrux is not the extreme speed of its flight......"
“...... It's that his Horcrux has free will and can kill it on his own......" Kirin said slowly, looking at Yuka's pale face.
"That's right, and, in the absence of Treya at the moment, no one can see through the prototype of his Horcrux, therefore, he can use it with impunity. I think that if he were a 'hunter', his prey would soon be pierced by the flying platinum light and died......" Celestial Bouquet Youhua looked at Qiling, her pupils began to tremble.
Qi Ling suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he took his gaze away from the face of the Heavenly Bouquet of Youhua and redirected to Qila under the cliff, however, there was no trace of Qila on the empty cliff.
"Where's the Qila people?" Qiling was shocked, and in a moment, as far as the eye could see, Qila had disappeared without a trace.
The soul beast, which had lost its third line of defense, roared and rushed towards the silver dust. Silver Dust's slender and vigorous figure dodged and dodged accurately in the violent attacks of countless soul beasts, his figure was as difficult to catch as a ghost, after every seemingly inadvertent dodge action, he would take out a Horcrux from the ground and throw it towards the soul beast, and the swarming soul beasts were constantly beaten by the various Horcruxes thrown out and had no power to resist.
At this moment, suddenly three ferocious sea lizards swooped down from the cliff behind Silver Dust, and Silver Dust's arm was swept by their sharp and sharp tail spikes, cutting a long blood streak. Qi Ling shouted nervously, "Silver Dust beware!"
When he was in the air, his hands and wrists shook, his waist twisted, and a thin short sword with a crystal clear body shot out of his palm towards the beasts, and this short sword quickly split in the process of shooting towards the beasts, one into two, two into four, four into four...... In the blink of an eye, the radiant dense sword array between heaven and earth was like a large group of glittering silver fish swimming in the deep sea, rolling and sweeping like a storm, and the blood flew everywhere the sword group passed, and it was overwhelming, when they turned around and swam back to Yinchen's side, they once again became two by two, and finally were retracted by Yinchen in the palm of his hand in the form of a thin short sword. Qi Ling's heart lowered slightly, however, soon, he couldn't help frowning and worried: "I don't know if his Horcruxes are enough, so many soul beasts, how many Horcruxes have to be consumed......"
Tianshu Youhua looked at the worried Qiling beside her, and then turned her head to look at Yinchen, who looked calm and steady. On the ground of the cliff around him, all kinds of Horcruxes continued to grow, and he used his talent to turn the cliff he was on into a small soul mound exclusive to himself. She was secretly surprised in her heart, but she still comforted Qi Ling: "You don't have to worry, in the past few years, Yinchen has been secretly missing, almost no one can contact him, and he rarely takes the initiative to communicate with the soul art world." I think he should have been traveling everywhere all these years, judging from the records of border clearance, he has been in and out of the two countries several times, and I think he must have been collecting all kinds of hidden Horcruxes that have been left in the world since ancient times on this continent......"
After listening to Youhua's words, Kirin breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes showed deep admiration, he looked at Silver Dust, and said involuntarily: "I think the Silver Priest must be ranked wrong, how can Silver Dust be only the seventh degree of the Lord, my Lord is the most powerful Lord in the world." ”
Tianshu Youhua's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth and was silent.
She actually wanted to ask Qi Ling just now, if there were so many Horcruxes in Silver Dust, was there something empty, or if there were soul beasts that no one knew about. If the Horcrux already has a sojourning soul beast, then, what Qi Ling just said is right: the Silver Priest is ranked wrong.
Thinking of this, Tianshu Youhua bit her lip.
One or two seriously injured soul beasts staggered, struggling to fly towards Qi Ling and Tianshu Youhua.
After breaking through the four-layer defense line of the most outstanding soul manipulators in the contemporary world, they reluctantly broke into the front of Qi Ling and Tianshu Youhua, Tianshu Youhua stood up, snorted coldly, turned around and released her huge bow and arrow, "pop" a few times, three sharp ice arrows immediately condensed in her hand, and the soul beasts flying in the distance fell in response to the moment Tianshu Youhua released the bowstring.
There was a wyvern in the distance, flying towards them. Qi Ling raised the Broken Blade Giant Sword, and just as he was about to prepare for battle, Tianshu Youhua reached out and grabbed Qi Ling.
"What's wrong?" Qiling was a little confused.
"There's only one end left, and it certainly won't break through the skirt of the goddess. I wanted to study how exactly the skirt of the goddess was able to defend against all indirect attacks, and I didn't really understand its immune mechanism. The Heavenly Bouquet Youhua looked intently at the oncoming Wyvern in front of her, waiting.
Kirin followed Yuhua's line of sight, and the moment a flying dragon touched the skirt of the goddess, the defense mechanism was activated. The whole immunization process is really done in an "instant". Qi Ling frowned, still thinking about the extremely strange scene he had just seen, if he had to describe it, that was the moment the soul beast crashed into the silk, its head disappeared, and then it continued to move forward, and the whole body disappeared on the thin silk, as if the thin veil was a chess piece, connecting another mysterious space, the moment the flying dragon touched it, it was swallowed, but almost at the same time, Qi Ling heard the roar behind him, he turned his head, and an even more unbelievable scene appeared, the head of the flying dragon drilled out from another silk behind him, and then its entire body continued to swim out of the plane of silk。 Moreover, there is one of the most critical places, that is, when the second half of the body of the flying dragon is still outside the silk in front of the Qiling, the first half of its body has been drilled out of the silk behind the Qiling......
"Youhua, I don't really understand, we're obviously standing ......"
"I think I kind of understand......" Yuka's eyes suddenly lit up, "the defense mechanism of the goddess's skirt." ”
"Is it a chess piece similar to lacquer, a spatial transfer?" Qi Ling lowered his head, and was vaguely aware of something.
"It's not. Yuhua shook her head, "The chess piece of Qila is to open up two spaces that are far apart, so that objects can be quickly transferred. The trigger mechanism of the chess piece is that no matter which part of your body touches the piece, your whole body will disappear instantly, and then appear completely from another place. However, you see, this dragon is not like this, its lower body is still outside the skirt, but its upper body, which has crossed the cylindrical space in the middle surrounded by the skirt of the goddess, has appeared behind us, and it is not it that has disappeared, it should be said that it is us who has disappeared......"
"We haven't disappeared!" Qi Ling was horrified when he heard this, "We're still here, and the scenery around us hasn't changed!
"I just used the analogy of disappearing, it's not very accurate, I should say it......" Youhua took out a silk scarf from her arms, she stained a little dirt on the ground, and drew a circle on the white silk scarf with her fingers, "Look at this circle, there are two points on both sides, if there is an ant on this white silk scarf, it has to use the shortest distance to climb from this point to another point, then it must be walking in a straight line, right?" But in this case, it will have to cross the center of the circle, and it will inevitably enter the area inside the circle. ”
"But we're not ants......" Kirin muttered.
"You're right, we're not ants. The ant can't get out of the ground, and it can't fold the scarf anymore. After saying that, Tianshu Youhua folded the silk scarf in half, and the circle became two completely overlapping semicircles, "But we can directly overlap these two points and arrive in an instant." So, the circle still exists, it hasn't disappeared, but it's no longer the distance that must be crossed to separate the two points...... Ants can't do it, but we can. Do you understand why?"
"Because the ants are on the plane of this silk scarf, but we are not on this silk scarf, we are ...... We're ......" Qi Ling felt that the answer was already in his throat, but he didn't know how to describe the light that had just flashed in his mind.
"The ants are on the plane of the silk scarf, and we have one more dimension than the ants, we are in a three-dimensional space. The defense mechanism of the goddess's skirt should be the disturbance of the [plane]. ”
"If that's the case, why can't a direct melee attack be defensible?" Qi Zero suddenly realized the loophole in Yuhua's words.
"Different planes have their own different characteristics and guidelines for soul arts, which limit what soul magic can and cannot do in this plane. The skirt of the goddess is to strongly intervene and disturb the characteristics and norms between different planes, so as to invalidate some of the attacks of our world. ”
"I don't understand!" Kiling grabbed his hair, eager to lift himself off the ground.
"You can't lift yourself up. Tianbou Youhua rolled her eyes at him, "At least under the physical laws of our world, you can't do it." ”
"How many strange things have you seen in your library?" Kirin snorted coldly at the corner of his mouth.
"In a word, you read more. Tianbouquet Youhua squinted at him.
"Then it seems that there is a goddess skirt, these soul beasts can't pose a threat at all......" Kirin put down the half-bladed giant sword in his hand and stuck it on the ground at his feet.
"You think too simply, you also underestimated the talent of the Fifth Degree Prince, you look at the distance, those dense soul beasts, just now, these are just the weakest soul beasts in the first batch, how many soul beasts are in this sea area, have you counted...... Didn't I tell you just now, the defensive ability of the goddess's skirt will gradually weaken with consumption, and when the skirt is broken, you can ask for more blessings. Tianshu Youhua looked at the second group of soul beasts approaching again in the sky, and her face was still pale. (To be continued.) )
