Chapter 354 - 354 354 The Invisible Battle

354: Chapter 354: The Invisible Battle 354: Chapter 354: The Invisible Battle Ye Shikai, enduring the pain, tore off Refining Mo’s right arm, but his abdomen was also stabbed by a dagger.

Even employing Inner Strength for protection was futile, evidently, this was no ordinary dagger.

A tactic like injuring the enemy at high cost to oneself wasn’t commonly used by Ye Shikai, and now, being forced to resort to such measures, was clearly due to Refining Mo’s pressure.

The power of the Desire Splitting Blade was immense, but the most lethal aspect was the fiendish aura inherently within it, which constantly eroded Inner Strength during combat.

Therefore, a quick resolution was critical for victory.

While suffering the abdominal wound, Ye Shikai was also thankful for his immediate reaction.

If he had let go even a fraction of a second later, his hand would have been sliced off by Refining Mo’s dagger.

But what shocked him the most was Refining Mo’s “restored” arm.

What followed, however, completely overturned Ye Shikai’s worldview.

Compared to the previous incident when his left arm was torn off, this time, Refining Mo appeared astonishingly calm, seemingly indifferent to the pain in his right shoulder and the ceaseless loss of blood.

On his empty right side, a new arm grew at a visible pace, its pale skin fragile like that of a newborn’s, yet its meridians were a deep blue hue, exuding a faint fiendish aura.

“Regeneration Skills.” Ye Shikai recognized it and couldn’t help but curse; how utterly vexing, was this even human?

To possess the ability to regenerate, then that strike from just before was in vain.

Ye Shikai pressed a few acupoints on his abdomen to alleviate the pain and used his Inner Strength to stem the bleeding.

The material of Refining Mo’s dagger was unknown, but it was exceedingly sharp.

He felt some regret in his heart; his initial attack had been too rash, and now he had paid a hefty price in troops and lost his queen.

“Hades, you can die now.” Swinging Desire Splitting Blade, Refining Mo lunged viciously towards Ye Shikai.

“Breaking Sky Fist.” Ye Shikai threw a heavy punch, ferociously hitting Refining Mo’s newly grown right arm, but it had no effect.

The skin that seemed delicate was actually as hard as steel and was even tougher than the previous arm.

Just not convinced by your sorcery.

Ye Shikai silently channeled the Inner God Scripture, his speed and strength significantly enhanced by the boost in Inner Strength, he struck multiple times at Refining Mo’s vital points.

However, like a punching bag in a gym, Refining Mo was knocked down repeatedly, yet stood up each time, his strength gradually increasing.

As this give-and-take continued, Ye Shikai was bound to end up at a disadvantage.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Shikai transformed his right hand into a claw, gripping Refining Mo’s left hand tightly, and used a counter-joint technique to twist it forcefully, snatching the dagger in the process, then a reverse swing of the blade harshly sliced off three of his fingers.

Refining Mo coldly chuckled, slowly extending his bloody left hand.

Under their gaze, three new fingers quickly grew back at the gaps, everything seeming as fantastical as a sci-fi movie yet so surreal.

Ye Shikai’s expression grew stern.

Although he did not know how Refining Mo accomplished this feat, he did indeed possess the ability to regenerate limbs.

Meanwhile, Ye Shikai also finally understood why Refining Mo, much weakened, would dare to seek a solo confrontation with him in the dead of night.

With such an ability, what was there to fear?

Drawing on experience, Ye Shikai was sure that someone was supporting him from behind.

If physical attacks were ineffective, he would target elsewhere.

Ye Shikai took a swift step, leveraging the continuous surge of Inner Strength provided by the Inner God Scripture, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported in front of Refining Mo, and fiercely slashed towards his neck…

The sharp dagger carved a deep and long gash across the neck of Refining Mo, from which fresh blood flowed.

However, Refining Mo’s expression was ferociously fierce, without a hint of the pain of injury or the fear of impending death.

Ye Shikai distinctly felt the dagger slice through his carotid artery and thought it was a FATAL STRIKE, but to his surprise, the deep wound slowly healed itself, turning into a patch of newly regenerated, fair skin.

The entire process took mere seconds, and Ye Shikai’s eyes widened in horror.

He had never before witnessed such a terrifying ability to regenerate.

Is this person still human?

“How does it feel, Hades?

Surprised?

Are you regretting coming here alone now?” Refining Mo taunted with a cold laugh.

At that moment, he seemed like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed, and what made Ye Shikai even more desperate was that he didn’t know where to attack.

“Watch the knife!” Refining Mo lunged fiercely, slashing horizontally with the Desire Splitting Blade.

Ye Shikai hurriedly leapt aside to avoid it.

The momentum, the power, the speed…

all were far greater than during their initial exchange.

Refining Mo had been holding back before.

Until now, Refining Mo had not used his full strength in the fight.

It seemed as if he was probing, showing off, or toying with his opponent, forcing Ye Shikai to tirelessly strike at him.

He even abandoned his defense to showcase his regenerative prowess in the end.

It was only now that the intense killing intent was fully unveiled.

“Do you think it’s over, Hades?

I still have something I want to show you,” Refining Mo said mockingly.

Then, under Ye Shikai’s gaze, his body gradually became transparent, until finally, he disappeared into the night…

“Brat, he’s gone invisible.

Be very careful,” the voice of the Blade Soul echoed in Ye Shikai’s mind.

Almost simultaneously, a whooshing sound passed by his ears.

Ye Shikai sidestepped, and where he had been standing, the ground cracked open—a solid marble slab had been shattered to dust.

Ye Shikai inwardly cursed, wondering how Refining Mo had managed to become invisible.

“Boy, what are you dazing for?

If he can turn invisible, can’t you do the same?” Blade Soul’s words snapped Ye Shikai to his senses.

Seizing the opportunity, he quickly retrieved the Netherworld King’s Helmet from the Storage Ring and channelled his Inner Strength into it.

In an instant, Ye Shikai’s figure also vanished, and the park that was previously deserted now became “empty” once again.

“Boom.” Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded through the air as the two clashed.

They could not see each other, and in such a scenario, the confrontation between masters was about discerning position by the sound of the wind, relying solely on the air vibrations caused by their bodily movements to pinpoint the other’s exact location, all the while continuously dodging attacks.

“Boom, boom, boom.” In the desolate park, repeated explosions and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard, yet it appeared completely empty—a truly eerie scene.

Ye Shikai was struck by the Desire Splitting Blade numerous times, and similarly, his fists landed on Refining Mo’s face several times as well.

The fight was evenly matched, resulting in a deadlock.

This was an invisible battle, yet Ye Shikai’s physical and Inner Strength were steadily depleting, but Refining Mo’s blade speed did not slow down at all.

“Ah!” Ye Shikai felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as the Desire Splitting Blade ruthlessly slashed across him.

A sweet metallic taste filled his throat as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
