"Smash the formation first!"
At the same time, both Tashan and Fu Xiaojian's figures rose higher against the wind.
The only difference is that Tashan has six more tentacles.
Fu Xiaojian only has two hands.
To Ta Shan's astonishment, Fu Xiaojian's fist, wreathed in golden light, struck the formation that had trapped Xu Si.
The first one copied the "Giant Spirit" trait of Tashan, while the one copied earlier was Su Su's "Disintegration" trait.
Fu Xiaojian's fist slammed into the array barrier, and golden disintegration patterns spread along the surface of the array barrier like a spider web.
However, the patterns stopped abruptly after spreading less than three feet, and were then swallowed up by the energy of the formation itself.
"Not enough." Fu Xiaojian withdrew his fist, his knuckles torn and bleeding.
His body, even without any special enhancements, still possesses the physical strength of a Sequence 4 city lord.
He shook his hand, and the bloody wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That was a recovery property copied from Jiao Jiao. Originally, I intended to give Xu Si some help, but I didn't expect to use it on myself first.
"I'll do it!" Tashan exclaimed excitedly. Stone Town's "Miracle Might" ability made his muscles tense, and he also punched the formation.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: ①⓪①ⓚⓚⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ]
However, the effect was not even as good as Fu Xiaojian's attack.
Without any enhanced offensive capabilities, his power is merely pure power, and he cannot even break through a Sequence 6 formation from a distance.
"Old Fu, use this!" Xu Si directly untied his strange stone weight and handed it to Fu Xiaojian.
The combination of "Miracle Power" and Fu Xiaojian's replication of Su Su's "Disintegration" might have a miraculous effect.
The moment Fu Xiaojian caught Shi Zhen's binding, a concentrated power surged from his palm into his body.
It is not an infusion of sequential energy, but a more fundamental, almost rule-based, blessing.
His bones were cracking, his muscle fibers seemed to be rewoven, and even his breathing became heavy—each exhale was like a bellows being pulled.
The characteristics of "Miracle Might" are simple, yet extremely powerful.
"Old Fu, take it easy!" Tashan was the first to notice something was wrong.
He was really afraid that Fu Xiaojian would be killed by the reaction force of the attack.
After all, his physical condition was far inferior to Tashan's.
At this moment, Fu Xiaojian's muscles were expanding at a visible speed. Previously, his physique could only be described as that of a young and strong man, but now he was almost as big as Tashan.
In addition, his current enormous size is almost identical to that of Tashan.
"Again!" Fu Xiaojian roared, his voice carrying a metallic resonance, his former air of a wealthy young master completely gone.
He raised his right arm and clenched his fist.
Golden, disintegrating lines spread from the knuckles to the wrist, then from the forearm to the elbow, like activated circuits.
Ta Shan stepped back two steps, giving Fu Xiaojian enough space to exert his strength.
Su Su floated down from the clouds, placed her hands on the surface of the array barrier, and fully activated its disintegration property.
At this moment, the two forces of the same origin seemed to resonate.
The moment Fu Xiaojian's fist slammed down, a dazzling golden light simultaneously shone from Su Su's palm.
boom--
This time, the sound was no longer the dull impact of before, but a sharp, almost metallic, shattering explosion.
The array barrier trembled violently. The golden disintegration patterns did not stop abruptly as before, but instead spread wildly along the cracks, like a flood bursting its banks and rushing across a dry riverbed.
"It works!" Tashan roared.
"Again!" Fu Xiaojian, like a demon sealer, unleashed several destructive fist energies that furiously bombarded the formation.
Until his arm was a bloody mess, until his bones cracked and popped, until a hair-thin crack tore open on the surface of the array.
The moment the crack appeared, Xu Si moved.
This gap was large enough for Xu Si to mark everyone with Starlink.
Starlink Leap
After the formation was repaired, only Nirvana's figure remained, standing guard alone within it.
At the same time, Jiao Jiao's recovery, echo, divine bath, prayer, and blessing continuously showered Xu Si with healing-type attributes.
Outside the formation, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Si.
Jiao Jiao's restorative properties flowed into his body like warm spring water, smoothing out the fascia torn by Mei Lin's magic array, the shattered bones, and the disordered energy.
Deep within his consciousness, life affinity was also operating at full capacity, creating a strange resonance with Jiao Jiao's treatment.
Xu Si's breathing changed from rapid to steady, and from steady to deep.
He opened his eyes.
The crimson light deep within those twin eyes was more intense than ever before, like two burning stars.
That's enough.
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
Jiao Jiao's healing beams poured down like a torrential rain. She was panting heavily, her small face covered with a mixture of sweat and rain, but her eyes shone brightly.
"Red Hair, you—" Jiao Jiao smiled broadly.
Before she could finish speaking, a crimson magic circle suddenly appeared around her body.
"You dare?"
The arena in mid-air had completely dissipated, and Fan Gu's body fell from mid-air like a broken sack.
Xu Si's roar exploded in the rain, the sound waves carrying the energy of the sequence spreading outwards, causing fine ripples to spread across the lake.
The crimson magic circle on Jiao Jiao's chest was rapidly expanding, just like when Mei Lin seriously injured Xu Si.
Xu Si's pupils suddenly contracted.
Once again, it leaped above Jiao Jiao's head, and the Sword of Kingship shot towards the air where Mei Lin was.
But before the sword light arrived, the magic circle on Jiao Jiao's chest had already expanded to its limit.
"No--"
Su Su reached out to grab it, Shao Bing lunged forward, and the tentacles of Tashan were flung towards Mei Lin. Jiang Li, who was closest, tried to use the chains of torture to restrain the exploding light.
Everyone is moving, but no one is fast enough.
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
Jiao Jiao lay down amidst the exploding blood mist.
Her face still radiated the joy of seeing Xu Si again.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Xu Si caught Jiao Jiao's body in a flash, and his heart sank into an ice cave.
The price of the [Heart of the Ice Abyss] made his injuries impossible to stabilize at this moment.
"Redhead, I like you so much!"
Jiao Jiao's body was now covered in fine cracks.
Xu Si was able to withstand Mei Lin's two magic arrays because of his Sequence 6 physical strength, while Jiao Jiao had nothing.
"It's alright, it's alright!"
Xu Si dared not move, for fear that Jiao Jiao would break in his arms.
Having dodged the attack of the Sword of Kingship, Mei Lin smiled.
That smile carried a detached indifference, as if a chess player had already calculated all the possible outcomes before even placing a move.
"You think you can break through my formation so easily?"
His voice floated down from mid-air, unhurried and gentle.
His gaze swept over everyone present, like a shepherd counting his flock, while at the same time it seemed as if he were appreciating an art called suffering.
