Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Chapter 243 Quick Suppression

As soon as Estelle finished speaking, the icy blue halo had already spread out completely.

The ground made a faint freezing sound, and the thick vines that had sprouted from the ground were firmly imprisoned in the hard ice.

The corrupted tree spirit's massive body, woven from vines, suddenly froze, the speed of its vine movements noticeably slowed, and the swelling of the central tumor momentarily became disordered.

"Now!"

Lorne's eyes shone with intense icy blue starlight, and his spiritual perception locked onto the deep black core, the size of a walnut, deep within the tumor.

He slightly bent his knees, and the Heavenly River Qi surged through his meridians like a river bursting its banks. The rotation speed of the star core in his dantian suddenly increased. As the Qi flowed down, an explosive force far exceeding that of the past exploded from the soles of his feet!

The figure of a handsome young man could be seen flashing on the ground as he swiftly unleashed the Nine Dragons Technique.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ice beneath his feet shattered with tremendous force, cracking into fine fissures. Lorne's figure instantly transformed into a blurry black line, flashing swiftly through the brief gaps created by the freezing of the vines.

Shadow Hunter was dragged behind him, the blade scraping against the air, emitting a low whimper, like the subtle breath of a beast before its roar.

"Buzz!"

The corrupted tree spirit seemed to sense a deadly threat, and the remaining vines that were not completely frozen frantically retracted and intertwined, trying to form a thick protective wall in front of the tumor.

Meanwhile, the pores on the tumor opened up again, accumulating the next wave of corrosive mucus.

But it was too late!

Due to its damaged body, the vines extending from the Corrupted Tree Spirit were not fast, and the pervasive frost magic of Estelle greatly hindered its speed.

Meanwhile, Lorne's speed was not slow under the full force of his internal energy; the defensive vines appeared slow and clumsy to him.

You Longjiu's movements displayed amazing agility in the confined space. He dodged to the side, avoiding two horizontal vine whips, and tapped his toes on another vine covered in frost, using the force to accelerate again!

He shot forward like an arrow, aiming straight for the weakest point in the vine defenses!

"Get out of my way!" Lorne roared angrily, his wrist flicking as Shadow Hunt changed from dragging to thrusting.

On the tip of the blade, the ever-flowing Heavenly River Qi was no longer a simple silver stream of light, but rather faintly revealed a fine, cold gleam like energy blockage, carrying a cold and sharp penetrating will!

After his spirituality was enhanced, Lorne became extremely sensitive to these changes. The changes caused by the Qi attached to Shadow Hunter's blade were accompanied by a very strong energy blockage.

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced through the intertwined vines without any resistance and precisely entered the dark purple tumor.

Contrary to expectations, the knife tip felt more like piercing a clump of sticky, rotten mud.

But in spiritual perception, the combined force of the blade's energy and spiritual power is rushing towards that deep black core along the energy flow path with unstoppable momentum!

"roar!"

The corrupted tree spirit let out a non-human shriek, a mixture of pain and madness.

The entire tumor convulsed and swelled violently, with all the holes on its surface simultaneously spewing out a filthy mixture of black slurry and corrosive mucus, attempting to drown Lorne.

However, just before the filth was about to spray, the escaping coldness quickly engulfed the boy's handsome face.

Estelle, who was in the distance, did not even move. She simply raised her left hand and released magic towards the area between Lorne and the corrupted tree spirit.

"凝".

With a clear, cold voice, the moisture in the air, the pervasive gray-black mist, and even the sprayed filthy liquid were instantly condensed by the magic she exuded!

Ice Shield!

A half-foot-thick, crystal-clear, arc-shaped ice wall, continuously growing ice crystals inward, instantly enveloped Lorne's slender body, blocking all the corrosive attacks.

The hissing sound of corrosion echoed violently on the ice wall, and the surface of the ice wall quickly became pitted and charred, but it was not penetrated by the corrosive liquid.

This protection came just in time, so Lorne didn't need to be distracted at all; he only needed to concentrate all his attention on his senses.

"Found it!"

In my mental perception, the deep black core pounded wildly like a desperate heart, trying to mobilize all the surrounding negative energy to resist and regenerate.

But the qi that Lorne poured into the blade was like the coldest silver needle, piercing deep inside!

"Don't... get in my way!"

Lorne twisted his wrist sharply, and the black longsword rotated and vibrated slightly inside the tumor!

The condensed qi erupted suddenly, not in an outward-spreading explosion, but inward-flowing and causing tearing destruction!

The Corrupted Treant attempted to regenerate using all negative energy, but this was completely blocked by the Shadow Hunter's abilities.

In the end, only a futile struggle remained.

"Bang!"

A barely perceptible sound, yet seemingly resounding directly through the mind, rang out.

The deep black core shattered instantly!

"Ugh..." All the movements of the corrupted tree spirit froze instantly.

The waving vines drooped limply, the swelling of the tumors ceased, and the dark purple on the surface quickly faded, turning into a deathly gray-white.

Immediately afterwards, starting from the inside of the tumor, the cracks quickly spread to the entire body, along with the frozen vines, disintegrating inch by inch, turning into a pool of viscous residue emitting foul black smoke, devoid of any life.

The ice wall shattered at that moment, turning into countless ice crystals that dissipated into nothingness.

Estelle waved her hand to dispel the icy dust and lingering putrid odor in front of her. Her gaze fell on Lorne, noticing that his chest was only slightly heaving and his breathing remained steady. A barely perceptible ripple flashed in her eyes. "Good coordination," she commented simply, her voice still cold. "Much stronger than half a month ago. It seems that your spiritual enhancement has completely liberated your fighting style."

During combat, information gathering is the most important aspect. Lorne's ability to respond is not bad, but his methods for dealing with unknown enemies are still lacking.

The battle ended quickly, perhaps because of his previous experience dealing with the lightning-struck wood demon, coupled with his increased spirituality, which allowed him to reach a new level of sensitivity to the outside world.

Lorne slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and sheathed his sword.

The moment the core was shattered, he could clearly feel a pure negative energy trying to backfire along the blade and invade his mental sea, but it was blocked by the Shadow Hunt effect.

If it can have such an effect on a broken supernatural being, how much more so when facing a formal wizard? The binding property can block mental power and affect magic.

It would be fatal for a professional wizard.

"It's alright." In the past two weeks, apart from the double effect, Lorne's combat power has not actually improved much, but the help brought by the improvement of spirituality is too great.

He was completely stripped of his fighting instincts as a martial artist...
