My Way

Chapter 1012 Broken Mask

The mask looked like some kind of glass artifact about to shatter completely, riddled with cracks.

of course.

The most obvious crack, or rather, the mark, is still the sword mark that runs horizontally to the left from between Ling Wuyuan's eyebrows...

And the existence of that sword mark.

This directly proves one thing.

That means Shen Zhenhai's attack just now did indeed hit Ling Wuyuan.

This situation puzzled him greatly. If he truly possessed the power to strike Ling Wuyuan, then why was the other party showing no reaction...?

Ling Wuyuan did not wait for the mask, which was about to shatter completely, to disintegrate into fragments and fall down one after another.

He chose to take it down himself.

I saw.

Looking at the cracked mask in his hand, a rare look of regret appeared on his face.

Although this thing is not precious, it was just a small toy that he casually made to match the style of the sect when he first joined the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion.

But there is one thing to say.

As someone who's rather sentimental.

After using it for several years, he still felt a little sorry for its damage.

To know.

Previously.

Even those more precious rune weapons were not valued by Ling Wuyuan in this way.

And this moment.

As Ling Wuyuan voluntarily removed her tattered mask, many people, including Shen Zhenhai, finally saw her face...

All of a sudden.

Exclamations of surprise immediately echoed throughout the audience.

among them.

Most people were simply surprised that Ling Wuyuan's appearance was far better than they had expected.

Those with excellent eyesight were surprised by the youthful appearance of Ling Wuyuan's face.

That youthful feeling that hasn't been worn down by much time.

to be frank.

That was a rather peculiar feeling.

In a trance.

Some people even have the feeling that Ling Wuyuan's real age is probably close to his apparent age...

however.

Regarding that kind of subconscious guess.

None of the people, including Shen Zhenhai, took it seriously.

It was just a subconscious feeling that Ling Wuyuan looked genuinely young.

They felt that Ling Wuyuan must be at least three or four hundred years old...

Teenagers?
Twenties or so?

Let alone saying that it was my own choice to believe.

Even if someone were beating them and threatening to beat them to death, they would never believe it!
But for those factors.

Ling Wuyuan didn't really care.

At most, they only paid slight attention to the sudden surge in causality.

Um~
After making a splash, resources instantly increased by N!

next moment.

Under his silent gaze.

Although he had tried his best to protect it, the mask, whose underlying structure was ultimately destroyed, shattered into hundreds and thousands of small fragments in his hands...

Seeing this, Ling Wuyuan crushed the remaining fragments of the mask into powder and casually scattered them away before turning his gaze once more to Shen Zhenhai, whose flesh and soul were still being eroded by his own true essence.

"That last strike was quite good."

This was an undisguised compliment; Shen Zhenhai's attack had just produced an unexpected turn of events.

then.

With just a thought, Ling Wuyuan caused the true essence that was already wreaking havoc within Shen Zhenhai's body to automatically shed all its disguise and return to its most authentic essence. The formless, shapeless, and unpredictable gray mist then amplified its effects many times over...

All of a sudden.

Faced with the fully unleashed gray mist true essence, Shen Zhenhai's expression immediately became even more unpleasant.

now.

Shen Zhenhai was perfectly able to tell that his body, just like an ordinary person poisoned, was slowly decaying...

Even souls containing a trace of the essence of a Celestial King, which should theoretically be immune to most negative influences, are showing signs of an unusual weakness!

This made him realize that he had to get rid of Ling Wuyuan as soon as possible, and then focus all his efforts on solving the problems within his body.

If it drags on a little longer...

Even if he were to eliminate those forces, they would have a permanent negative impact on him.

Moreover, Shen Zhenhai realized that given the danger posed by Ling Wuyuan's true essence, he really couldn't allow the opponent to continue inflicting effective damage.

That thing is excessively lethal.

then.

As Shen Zhenhai made his decision.

Ling Wuyuan immediately sensed through the gray mist true essence within the other party's body that a certain power he had never encountered before had been revived within him.

Although both are forms of energy.

However, that power is fundamentally different from true qi and true essence in its actual nature.

"I see."

"Was it this very force that caused your attack to generate variables beyond my prediction before...?"

just.

Before Ling Wuyuan could finish speaking, Shen Zhenhai's attack was launched again.

Throughout the entire process.

Through the gray mist true essence within Shen Zhenhai's body, Ling Wuyuan could even quite clearly determine that Shen Zhenhai was using not just true essence or that new energy, but a combination of the two energies—a new energy that was more complex yet more powerful.

This directly caused the energy intensity within Shen Zhenhai's body to increase more than tenfold out of thin air, forcibly suppressing the gray mist true essence that was still causing trouble.

At the same time, it was clearly moving using its legs.

But at this moment.

Thanks to the effects of a special immortal technique, Shen Zhen's movement speed was so fast that it was almost as if he were teleporting!

However, although Shen Zhenhai's offensive was stronger than before, Ling Wuyuan's reaction was also much faster and more accurate than before...

Before Shen Zhenhai's attack could even land...

Ling Wuyuan's two fingers had already arrived in front of the opponent's longsword's trajectory in advance, and at just the right moment, they precisely clamped the blade of the longsword.

See this.

Shen Zhenhai's pupils twitched slightly, a genuine surprise in his eyes.

He had no idea that the gray mist true essence that had been forcibly suppressed within his body, while temporarily unable to cause him much harm, could still function like a locator and monitor, helping Ling Wuyuan remotely pinpoint his location and observe the flow of energy within his body in real time, thus enabling Ling Wuyuan to achieve an effect akin to foresight.

at the same time.

Ling Wuyuan then made a sword-finger gesture with his other hand once again, and swiftly stabbed towards the opponent's forehead, or rather, his left eye socket!

The intention is to penetrate the other person's eye socket and pierce their brain!

See this.

Without hesitation, Shen Zhenhai immediately used his other hand to defend and retaliate!

For a while.

Their arms instantly transformed into countless afterimages, clashing fiercely in a small space!
