Chapter 259: Chapter 168: Divine Scheme to Deceive for Crystals, Spirit Transforms into Telekinesis!

At the moment Qin Shi took a step, the knife blade was pulled out with a crackling sound from the black scabbard.

Like dazzling lightning tearing through the night sky, the powerful life force propelled his mortal body.

His whole body seemed to traverse space, directly appearing in front of the esotericist.

This terrifying speed completely exceeded the limits of human vision!

Swoosh!

The knife light quickly fell, like a meteor plunging down, crashing heavily on the esotericist’s shoulder!

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing, sharp and piercing!

Against any ordinary opponent, a flesh and blood body couldn’t possibly withstand the perfect-level electric shock saber, and would be cleanly cut in half without hesitation.

But the esotericist’s armors known as the "Black Lotus Mechanism" was clearly extraordinary.

Its surface was coated with a shiny and thick "air membrane".

Slashing down, the blade felt a significant resistance, as if sinking into a swamp, unable to cut through.

The enormous energy infused into the blade was systematically discharged, leaving less than thirty percent of its kinetic force.

Finally, it thundered down as if wielding a heavy hammer, sending the esotericist flying backward!

"This kid is so fierce!"

A chill rose up the esotericist’s neck, as though he had stepped one foot into the netherworld, breaking out in cold sweat.

He didn’t even see Qin Shi’s movement trajectory before the knife light had already reached him.

If not for the divine blessing granting him the Black Lotus armor with astonishing defense, he would be decapitated and dismembered.

"Oh!"

Qin Shi was equally surprised. Ever since he began fighting with weapons,

his killing move had only been used once and never failed.

Neither Wen Han with his horizontal training, nor Lin Kang with his expert knife techniques, could withstand it.

One slash and their life force was severed!

This strange-looking esotericist, however, could endure the slash.

Taking a direct hit, he still remained unharmed.

"His armor is odd, that sticky membrane circulates and discharges power while reducing damage..."

Qin Shi squinted, rising a great interest internally.

As the thought flickered, he stamped his foot hard, causing the ground to erupt.

Once again the knife light swept like a tornado, suddenly enveloping the esotericist’s head.

The armor bloomed like a lotus, releasing an oval semi-transparent membrane, resembling a blown-up bubble!

Boom!

As if struck by a brass bell, sound waves burst forth, shattering the rocky walls on either side!

The esotericist, who had just managed to stand again, was once more launched by the dazzling knife light, like a baseball hit with full force, tracing a clear parabolic arc!

He was left disoriented, his bones feeling shattered.

No matter how much the spiritual ability path emphasized warming the body, it couldn’t compare to the martial arts path.

Facing Qin Shi’s fierce attacks that could cut through metal, he was almost powerless to resist.

"No way! If this continues, even the Black Lotus armor won’t protect my life!"

The esotericist felt his hair stand on end. He had initially underestimated Qin Shi, thinking his life force was inferior to Wu Tao’s, not a tricky prey.

Unexpectedly, this kid wielded the saber with such ferocity, utterly suppressing him!

He entered spiritual meditation, the holy embryo absorbed energy, instantly casting a spell skill!

The approaching Qin Shi suddenly raised his eyebrows.

He felt his flesh’s activity surge, his blood almost boiling like it was about to erupt.

"Playing micro-manipulation with me!"

Qin Shi took a deep breath, his strong spiritual power merged with his mortal body, suppressing this strange surge.

One of the martial arts path’s most feared techniques was the spiritual ability path’s microscopic manipulation.

For instance, the flesh and blood system could increase the activity of the mortal body, causing an organ to proliferate;

Or the elemental system could extract moisture, turning one into a dried corpse;

Or the space system could transfer sharp metal fragments into the opponent’s brain...

This level of microscopic operation required extremely sophisticated control.

Although rarely done within the spiritual ability path, if one possessed this interference capability, a mortal body not yet transformed and sublimated, promoted to the specialized level of the martial arts path, would stand no chance.

"However, I am a numerical monster."

Qin Shi forcibly suppressed the boiling blood, having surpassed the three great limits, with his muscles and bones closely connected, his mortal body wasn’t so fragile, capable of enduring!

He continued advancing, the knife edge aimed at the staggering esotericist.

The latter seemed prepared, raising both hands, causing a spiritual shock that formed solid waves of spiritual power, condensing into a strange image resembling a blood-red half-sun.

This was his final technique!

Communicating with a netherworld entity, invoking power from the deity he worshipped!

The esotericist realized the few spell skills he mastered posed minimal threat to Qin Shi.

Blood and flesh creatures were slain in one strike, even their activity extinguished.

As for commanding hunting dogs to surround him, it was ineffective. Seeing Qin Shi’s fierce stance with the saber, an estimated dozen war dogs with fifty points life force each would be slaughtered in less than half a minute.

Ultimately, the spiritual ability path needed terrain advantage and maintaining a safe distance to leverage its strength.

Getting close to someone like Qin Shi who was immune to control with high magic resistance left him defenseless!

Thus the esotericist decisively used the most versatile skill of the spiritual ability path.

Summon someone!

The blood-red half-sun twisted and transformed, appearing as a vertical eye containing terror and brutality, locking dead on Qin Shi.

"Hitting the big boss when you can’t win, truly pathetic."

Qin Shi’s steps slightly faltered, sensing immense pressure.

Space seemed filled with strong glue, firmly sticking to his limbs.

Insane and chaotic whispers and noises echoed by his ears.

Initially it was a sticky hum, like a multi-segmented insect scraping the inner side of his skull’s frontal lobe.

Qin Shi instantly entered spiritual meditation, trying to block this sensory deception.

But the glamorous light of the blood-red half-sun grew stronger, penetrating his retina with blood-red hues, every nerve ending became sharp, lightly pricked by needle tips.
