Chapter 1174 - 1174 379 Ghost
1174: Chapter 379: Ghost 1174: Chapter 379: Ghost The Battle of Heaven’s Proud, every fraction mattered.At the moment she saw the dark purple handprint, Jiang Limeng’s right leg, starting from the knee, burst forth with a ring of fierce light.
Her entire calf was directly severed by the light, falling from high above.
The halo flowed throughout her body, driving out that obscure, dark power within.
At the same time, from the severed section of her calf, a translucent figure of a Water Ghost emerged, covered fully by the fresh blood spurting from Jiang Limeng’s leg wound.
“Hehehehe.”
The blood flowing over this Water Ghost couldn’t stain it at all.
And it started to cackle strangely.
Jiang Limeng instinctively gathered a fierce orb of light, attempting to destroy it, but suddenly found that Path Origin was somewhat difficult to muster!
Her vast reserves of Path Origin, like rushing rivers, were inexplicably nearing depletion!
The laughing Water Ghost was no ordinary one—it was a Consuming Yuan Water Ghost!
From the very start of the battle, Lin Zhengren had laid this plot using the “feigned death” of a Water Ghost, causing Jiang Limeng to lower her guard, while it had been eroding her body, continuously intensifying her consumption of Path Origin.
During the fight, Lin Zhengren shrewdly enticed Jiang Limeng to use even more powerful techniques, all for this moment when her Path Origin would be exhausted!
Being harsh to others is easy, being harsh to oneself is hard.
By decisively severing her own leg at the first sign of trouble, Jiang Limeng demonstrated the resolve of a heaven’s proud in the face of unexpected changes.
But it seemed, still too late.
She successfully identified and expelled the sinister power infiltrating her body, but the battle had been going on for far too long…
In the previous “tough” battles, Lin Zhengren continuously reinforced one notion—that his Ghost Raising Ability was weak, his ghosts easily eradicated by the ultimate Yang Techniques.
And then, he made use of this to craft numerous plots!
Jiang Limeng dissolved the Daoist Decrees in her hands, retracting the flowing light shield, allowing this Dao Technique to orbit her fingertips in a stream of light again.
Her body flew back, landing on the ground, on the edge of the Arena, facing Lin Zhengren.
With only one leg remaining, she stood tall.
The remaining Path Origin was not enough to afford profligacy, but still enough to fight!
Being pushed to this point was something she had never anticipated.
Lin Zhengren, whom she met in the Yellow Millet Secret Realm, possessed such profound cunning, delivering her a profound lesson.
She admitted her oversight, acknowledged her own foolish and arrogant mistakes.
But she refused to accept defeat just yet!
There was still a chance, still a chance.
Waiting for him to approach…
the victory was not yet decided!
Jiang Limeng’s fighting spirit boiled, yet she forced herself to calm down, waiting for the right moment.
She was not dead yet, so she had not lost yet.
She stared intently at Lin Zhengren, her anger, useless in battle, momentarily wiped away.
And on the other side of the Arena…
Lin Zhengren, with his eyes closed, tilted his ears, seemingly judging Jiang Limeng’s position.
But his hands did not stop, continuing to quickly form seals.
“Little Ceremony?” he asked.
The Consuming Yuan Water Ghost shrieked.
Lin Zhengren then stretched forth his hand, unleashing the Dao Technique.
The scene replayed as at the beginning, a wall of water surged forward.
With precise control of the Dao Technique’s power, aided by the Siyao Divine Power, this was not difficult for her.
A blade of fierce light perfectly split the water wall.
Not a single Path Origin was wasted.
The blood from her severed leg was staunched, but Jiang Limeng’s heart continued to sink.
Because another wall of water was pushing over.
This Lin Zhengren… was too steady.
At a moment when he had nearly drained her Path Origin, when he could have definitively settled the outcome, he chose not to unleash a killing blow but used such a Dao Technique like the water wall, continuing to drain her.
Jiang Limeng bit her lip, taking a portion of her already limited Path Origin reserves, clenched in one hand!
Around the Consuming Yuan Water Ghost, suddenly, light twisted, solidified, intertwining repeatedly, binding it.
Snap!
The Consuming Yuan Water Ghost just like that softened down, shattered into a pool of water.
“Hehehe!”
Suddenly, another emerged from a nearby pool of water, giving Jiang Limeng a sinister laugh.
This Consuming Yuan Water Ghost is truly no ordinary being!
It cannot be simply killed nor bound.
Jiang Limeng thought silently.
Killing moves are definitely not feasible against this Water Ghost, but simple Dao Techniques are ineffective, plus…
we can’t continue to drain resources.
The Dao Essence reserves in Tongtian Palace are already depleted.
And that damned Lin Zhengren pushed another water wall towards her.
Water wall, water wall, just water walls!
Lin Zhengren, relying on his Dao Essence advantage, is unwilling to take any risks.
He solely focuses on this advantage, pushing it to the extreme.
But she, Jiang Limeng, how could she be a prodigy worn down to death by water walls?
She must win!
Jiang Limeng hesitated no more, knowing this adversary would only be more cautious than her, and would never make a careless mistake.
Today’s battle has made her keenly aware, when fighting with this person, waiting for opportunities is useless, she must fight for them herself.
Thus, she held nothing back.
With one foot planted, she bounced up and charged at Lin Zhengren once more!
Compared to her previous charge, which carried a divine, intimidating presence akin to a goddess descending among mortals.
This time, she embodied the solitary bravery of a warrior, the unwillingness of a prodigy.
How could I, Jiang Limeng, stop here!?
She raised her hands high, with endless brilliance converging in her hands, forming a huge, extremely brilliant, exaggeratedly curved saber, slashing it down towards Lin Zhengren’s head!
With this slash, merely the radiating brilliance obliterated all Dao Techniques between her and Lin Zhengren.
Heralding the saber with tremendous brilliance like a warrior goddess, Jiang Limeng struck.
Everyone knew that Jiang Limeng couldn’t possibly have so much Dao Essence left; her reserves could not sustain such a level of Dao Technique.
Thus at this moment, she risked using the Dao Essence that supports Heaven and Earth Lonely Island, despite the risk of it sinking into the Five Mansions Sea, to launch this attack!
She was staking her entire path on this!
“Heh!”
The Consuming Yuan Water Ghost suddenly appeared in front, only to be effortlessly sliced into two by the radiant saber.
With this distraction, Lin Zhengren, warned by the Water Ghost, backed off three steps.
Three Emerald Green Trees shot up from the ground.
Again, the Emergent Green Trees!
Boom!
Jiang Limeng had arrived.
Even something as strong as the Emergent Green Trees Dao Technique…
Simply wasn’t enough!
The three Emerald Green Trees couldn’t withstand such a forceful strike, continuously collapsing and exploding into numerous fragments.
Indeed… the saber shattering like broken colored glass!
Just as it appeared to be the turning point for Jiang Limeng, with her astonishing courage and overwhelming Killing Power smashing all vile schemes.
But in the spectacular, shattering radiance.
From a commanding position, Jiang Limeng saw…
Lin Zhengren’s suddenly wide-opened eyes!
[He was never blinded from the start!]This was Jiang Limeng’s first thought.
And the fresh blood trickling from the corners of Lin Zhengren’s eyes suddenly “came alive,” sprung up like snakes, gathered in the air forming into a hideous Blood Ghost, and at a terrifying speed, struck her face!
[That’s right, the ghosts Lin Zhengren raised lacked those weaknesses, so even if the prison of the blazing light was opened, his Blood Ghost didn’t need to die.]This was Jiang Limeng’s second thought.
[What else is this person hiding?]This was her last thought.
The Blood Ghost covered her face, knocking her down.
The split Consuming Yuan Water Ghost also regrouped and lunged at her.
And Lin Zhengren himself…
The radiant Light Saber in front of him dispersed.
His formidable opponent fell before him.
Amidst the shattering brilliant radiance…
He stepped back!
Even in such a moment, with victory in his grasp, he still fled from risks.
The Emerald Green Tree ghost that had always been behind him then leaped forward, joining in on the “devouring” of Jiang Limeng.
