Chapter 338 - 338 338 The Energy of the Strange Stone

338: Chapter 338: The Energy of the Strange Stone 338: Chapter 338: The Energy of the Strange Stone On the desolate grassland, two powerful energies swirled like vortexes, Refining Mo’s veins bulging, eyes emitting a deep blue light, ghostly in appearance, while under the effect of the Inner God Scripture, Ye Shikai’s body continuously surged with Inner Strength like raging waves, his skin turning bright red, meridians and Dantian throbbing painfully.

“Destroying Heaven and Earth.”

“Breaking Sky Fist.”

A blade and a fist turned them into two streaks of polar light, colliding together.

“Bang.” In a flash of lightning, two immense energies repelled each other, and the result was:

An explosion right where they stood.

The powerful repulsion sent them flying like kites with broken strings, Ye Shikai crashing down like a comet, violently spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, but what shocked him even more was that Refining Mo’s Inner Strength had increased so much.

If the last time in the basement Ye Shikai could slightly surpass Refining Mo thanks to the Inner God Scripture letting him have the upper hand in Inner Strength, their recent encounter was purely an Inner Strength showdown, yet the result was evenly matched.

Only then did Ye Shikai recall the words of Blade Soul; without the Inner God Scripture, he would be dead, feeling a sudden chill, realizing if it were just his normal strength, that move could have seriously injured him.

He also understood why Refining Mo could be so audacious; powerful Inner Strength combined with exceptional blade techniques definitely ranked him among the top experts, making even Ye Shikai a bit worried if he was a match for Refining Mo now.

Fortunately, Refining Mo wasn’t faring any better from their recent exchange, unable to suppress coughing out blood, but with a wave of his hand, energy continuously replenished inside his body, his eyes once again emitting a eerie blue light, ferocious to the extreme, like the gaze of Evil Wolves upon spotting prey.

He had recovered.

While Ye Shikai, although assisted by the Inner God Scripture boosting his power temporarily, definitely couldn’t use his Inner Strength inexhaustibly, like just now with that move, Ye Shikai had exerted his Inner Strength without holding back, and now he was still gasping for breath.

“Hades, let’s go again.” Refining Mo sneered coldly and charged with his blade, the blade nearly on his neck, and Ye Shikai had no reason to retreat, swiftly dodging the lethal blade and occasionally countering.

In the nearby bushes.

“Illusion Fox, tell me, what is really going on, where is that energy coming from?” Nightmare hastily regained some strength, and got up and asked Illusion Fox seriously, feeling something amiss since a while ago, wondering how Illusion Fox could unleash such levels of energy, and now, for the same reason, Ye Shikai was gradually getting the worst of it.

“It’s…

it’s the energy we obtained from a stone that was snatched from the military.” Illusion Fox hung his head, somewhat ashamed, that stone was originally prepared by the military for an ultimate project, but it ended up aiding the Tomb Spirit Organization in their nefarious schemes.

Illusion Fox originally wanted to kill Nightmare for this energy, but later she realized her error and felt extremely guilty because this energy almost caused the man she loved to die an unnatural death.

“What stone?” Nightmare asked anxiously, grabbing Illusion Fox’s arms and shaking them vigorously.

“I don’t know either, there was a very powerful energy inside, all absorbed by…

a few of us,” Illusion Fox stammered.

The description by Illusion Fox immediately reminded Nightmare of a strange stone.

He had heard from Ji Qian that these stones came from Holy Mountain and contained powerful energy, even stronger than a cultivator’s own Inner Strength, and this energy was overwhelmingly dominant, hardly suppressible by one’s own Inner Strength.

Ye Shikai’s Demon Addiction seems to be due to an unstable energy in his body; when it becomes uncontrollable, during an episode, he would fall into extreme madness, seeing nothing but slaughter, killing indiscriminately without recognizing anyone.

“Ah.” Under the influence of the powerful energy, Refining Mo kept swinging his blade tirelessly like a Death Soldier.

Finally, he struck Ye Shikai’s arm, and blood flowed out like a river, staining his palm red.

“This is bad.” Ye Shikai faintly felt the Inner Strength in his Dantian meridians dispersing.

His struggle with Refining Mo had exhausted him, and at this critical moment his Inner Strength was nearly depleted.

If this continued, he feared Refining Mo might kill him.

“Damn.” Refining Mo slashed again, the blade grazing Ye Shikai’s shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.

Had it not been for Ye Shikai dodging with all his might at the last moment, his entire arm would have been severed.

Better to fight desperately than to sit and wait for death.

Retreating now would surely lead to being pursued by Refining Mo, so Ye Shikai had to take a gamble.

Taking advantage of the moment Refining Mo’s blade cleaved through empty air, he closed in with only a few inches between them, grabbing Refining Mo’s shoulder with one palm.

“What’s going on?” Refining Mo struggled free, Ye Shikai stepped back rapidly, feeling clearly that during that instant, a current of energy had been drawn out of Refining Mo’s body, flowing from his hand into his own body, a warm sensation like a gentle stream flowing into dry ground.

Ye Shikai advanced again, attempting to get close once more.

This time, he struck Refining Mo’s Dantian.

Despite getting slashed in the process, he distinctly discovered that he could absorb the energy from Refining Mo’s body, energy identical to that of the strange stone he had acquired at the auction.

The energy absorbed from Refining Mo, like a stone sinking into the sea, gradually merged with his own Inner Strength, an overbearing energy faintly pained Ye Shikai’s brain…

Refining Mo quickly noticed the anomaly; once Ye Shikai got close, the energy in his body seemed to drain away like sand through an hourglass, while Ye Shikai appeared invigorated, which left him bewildered.

Could it be that he also knew the Absorption Star Skills?

Refining Mo, cunning and suspicious, had always been cautious, having absorbed most of the energy from the stone taken from the military, fearing betrayal.

“Refining Mo, I wonder how long you can remain arrogant.” Ye Shikai sneered coldly, seeming almost crazed as he dodged Refining Mo’s blade swiftly, leaping directly in front of him unexpectedly.

More surprisingly, Ye Shikai didn’t dodge the blade but instead grasped the handle firmly with one hand and clutched Refining Mo’s arm tightly with the other, both momentarily in a deadlock.

Refining Mo’s heart trembled, as Ye Shikai’s palm tightly gripped the blade edge, disregarding the bleeding wound.

His pulled arm felt as if it had lost all strength, but what terrified him the most was the sensation of his body’s energy not just draining away aimlessly, but continuously transferring into Ye Shikai’s body.
