Chapter 485: Seventh Morphology (Part 2)
Xiao Wen Cang Tian naturally heard Gui Xiao’s earlier warning: "Don’t use energy attacks." He had fought against Gui Xiao before, so he knew that if the kid said something was impossible, it truly was.
With a fierce shout, Xiao Wen Cang Tian charged forward, launching into close combat with the [Great Compassion Thousand Leaf Hand], a martial arts technique. His fingers, palms, and strikes moved like lightning, releasing torrents of pressure and explosive force.
In terms of pure technique, this move was on par with the Southern Dipper Flying Dragon Fist, though its variations were far more intricate. Even with lightning-fast reflexes, defending against it was extremely difficult.
Yet… Lute seemed utterly unfazed by Xiao Wen Cang Tian’s assault. She stood in place, letting the attacks rain down as she slowly turned her gaze toward Tian Tian Gui Xiao: "Finally… I’ve found the flawless candidate."
Gui Xiao snorted coldly: "Sorry, but you’re not my type…" With those words, he lunged forward, throwing a punch.
"Since you’ve decided to be the one…" Lute raised a hand to intercept his fist while murmuring, "Then things just got simpler…"
Boom—
Gui Xiao’s punch was caught effortlessly. His body froze mid-air, unable to advance a single inch.
Lute hadn’t moved an inch.
"Impressive…" Lute smiled as her back suddenly exploded, splattering a viscous metallic liquid from the cracks in her spine.
Xiao Wen Cang Tian recognized this as Gui Xiao’s signature attack. The kid could channel force through an opponent’s defense, damaging internal organs directly beneath the skin. Against Tian Tian Gui Xiao, most defensive techniques were meaningless. The only one who might counter him was Zhao Ying Wang, a master of regenerative resurrection arts…
"You can wait at the edge of this space for a while", Lute said casually after her injury. She shoved her intercepted palm forward, sending Gui Xiao flying backward.
At that moment, Gui Xiao felt like he’d been tied to the back of a train, dragged backward by an indescribable force—soaring toward the horizon.
If he shouted something like "Ugh, this annoying feeling!" or "You’ll regret this!" it would’ve fit perfectly…
Everyone watched helplessly as the top-ranked combat expert on the leaderboard vanished from sight. The situation had turned dire once again.
"Now then… Starting with you", Lute turned to Xiao Wen Cang Tian, the closest opponent. "You’re furious I killed your friend, aren’t you?"
Xiao Wen Cang Tian froze, a chilling premonition of death washing over him.
He didn’t answer. Instead, before his life slipped away, he launched one final strike—abandoning his usual speed and agility. With a single burst of raw, merciless power, he executed the [Prajna Palm], a technique so blunt it could’ve gone no slower.
The palm shattered the air, roaring with explosive force.
In that instant, even Lute was briefly taken aback.
Boom—
The skill struck true. This time, Lute had to defend.
She blocked with the metallic chitin on her forearm, absorbing the palm strike. The impact bent her right arm into a semi-liquid state. Xiao Wen Cang Tian’s own arm exploded into bone fragments and flesh, scattering like shrapnel.
"Don’t want to answer my question?" Lute continued, "Or do you consider yourself too superior to respond to a low-dimensional creature like me?"
Xiao Wen Cang Tian couldn’t speak. He’d never imagined her strength could be this overwhelming. The recoil from that palm strike hadn’t just shattered his arm—it had torn through his internal organs. A searing pain scorched his insides, his vitality draining rapidly. Even if Lute did nothing, he wouldn’t survive another minute.
"Let me tell you then…" Lute’s right arm re-solidified as she spoke. "When my kin fall, your combined anger and pain are a hundredfold…" She finished by suddenly sweeping her arms outward in a sweeping motion.
In martial arts novels, this move was called "Parting Clouds to See the Sun", used to repel enemies during a flank attack. But under Lute’s Seventh Morphology, the effect was… Xiao Wen Cang Tian, standing mere feet away, was torn in half by the sheer force.
Then came a tidal wave of pressure, slicing deep cracks into the buildings lining the street. Players on the road were flung into the air like leaves in a level-16 typhoon, crashing into walls. The trio battling Kai Duo—including Kai Duo himself—were likewise swept off their feet.
"Holy crap!" This was the unspoken thought of every player present—except [Caibu Paine Notafraid].
Only Fearless stood firm, planting his "Enhanced Heavenly Thunder Mallet" into the ground and gripping it defiantly.
"This monster… without using energy attacks, how do we…?" Fei Chai Shu muttered, adjusting his sunglasses.
"Don’t cling to false hope", Zui Wo Chang Ran warned him. "Gui Xiao might get reckless in combat, but his judgment’s solid. You saw what happened when Wu Dao Ke attacked—energy attacks might just make her stronger." He paused. "Also… I need to ask—can your Magic Containment Wave still be used?"
Fei Chai Shu glanced at him: "Yes."
"Then don’t use it recklessly", Zui Wo Chang Ran said, stepping forward. "We don’t know how many times she can regenerate. Your Magic Containment Wave might be our last resort."
"Oh? Coming to meet your end?" Lute sneered as Zui Wo Chang Ran approached.
"You… are not invincible", Zui Wo Chang Ran declared, raising his right hand with four fingers extended. "This current Morphology of yours has at least four weaknesses."
Lute smirked. "Enlighten me."
"First—slower speed. Second—loss of body deformation abilities. You can’t stretch your limbs like before. Third—no energy attacks. Fourth—reduced regeneration." With each weakness, he lowered a finger, leaving only his index finger raised.
The usually trash-talking, laid-back man became razor-sharp in combat. Zui Wo Chang Ran wasn’t a strategist, nor a solver of complex puzzles. But in combat, he(End of Chapter)
