Chapter 73: Draw the Lightning and Break the Formation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Red Lotus Self-redemption was a rare skill that did not follow the principle of attribute restraint. It was fire attribute, but it could restrain fire attribute. In addition, the Scarlet Cloud Bow had an additional effect on fire attribute skills, so the armor-piercing effect was even better.
Looking down from the sky, the straight trajectory was like a red line drawn on the surface of the water. It appeared in an instant, passed through the body of the wrym, and crossed the entire lake. A mountain on the other side exploded and burst into Red Lotus-shaped flames.
Then, the red line disappeared, and the water suddenly burst into waves. The waves exploded on both sides, and a mist of blood sprayed into the water from the back of the wrym.
The wyrm, whose body was burning with flames, opened its mouth and instantly cowered. It stopped its forward charging action and wailed in pain.
“Aow!!!”
It started to roll around in the water as blood spurted out from its mouth and body. The water splashed in all directions as the lake water churned, forming waves that slapped against the shore. The Water Moon Dock’s disciples all cried out in fear and fled in all directions.
The arrow went through its mouth, penetrating its throat and more than half of its body. Red Lotus Self-redemption had a continuous burning effect, and its internal organs were probably badly damaged. However, the psychological trauma of catching the arrow with its mouth was probably even more serious.
The dragon wailed. It should not have been hurt by the fire, but it felt the burning pain of its internal organs being damaged. The wound on its body that had been pierced through had extinguished the fire, showing the black color of being burned. It could only roll in the lake water that it hated the most to wear it down. It bent down and opened its mouth, pouring in a large amount of cold lake water, and then spat out blood mixed with its internal organs.
“The effect is too good… It hurts just looking at it.”
The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched as he looked at the wrym in surprise. That exaggerated reaction was like a person who had never eaten spicy food in his life suddenly being stuffed with a mouthful of devil’s pepper.
“That’s true. I seem to have accidentally triggered the special attack. This wyrm is immune to fire attribute damage from birth. Fire is its companion to it and it has never experienced the feeling of being burned. I think it’s probably going to shut down from the shock.”
Liu Yuan sighed and then took out his bow again.
Since he had transmigrated, this was the official second battle. It was a relatively evenly-matched battle, so he still maintained his vigilance.
He had directly used the level 40 Soul Formation stage skill, Red Lotus Self-redemption. He started the game with the intention of striking first and overwhelming Zou Wenrui with his aura.
Liu Yuan understood after listening to Zou Wenrui’s words. The actions of the wrym were controlled by him, so it did not matter what happened to the wyrm. The important thing was to grasp Zou Wenrui’s psychology and actions.
According to his current spiritual energy reserve, he could shoot this arrow three or four more times. After all, the wrym was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. He could only say that he was stronger than it because of the unlocked skill tree, but in reality, they were about the same.
However, as long as his spiritual power was not exhausted, Liu Yuan would be able to deal with it easily.
“How is this possible?!” Zou Wenrui’s eyes were fixed on the blood on the wyrm’s body. The power of that arrow had directly damaged the Scarlet Mist Flowing Scaled Wrym’s internal organs. It was undoubtedly powerful, and it was impossible for anyone who was not at the Soul Formation stage to do so.
And Liu Yuan’s body did indeed have the aura of a Soul Formation cultivator.
However, he had thought that Liu Yuan must have reached the Nascent Soul realm by using pills because he did not have the power of the embryo of Dao’s primordial spirit. But now, he had completely subverted his original guess — Liu Yuan had reached the Soul Formation stage!
However, it was not an easy task for a Nascent Soul cultivator to break through to the Soul Formation realm. It was common for them to go into seclusion for decades. How could he break through so silently in just a few days?
You don’t even have a nascent soul, how did you reach the Soul Formation stage? By imagination?
However, even though Zou Wenrui’s eyes were about to pop out, Liu Yuan’s aura was still stable.
He did not know that Liu Yuan only relied on adding points. When the attribute points were there, the corresponding level would be there. When he got the guide from the characters he conquered in the past, his level was already very high, so the attribute points were of little use and were of little value.
However, now that he was a noob, the attribute points would give him a significant boost in strength.
It must be mentioned here that the cultivation system between Liu Yuan and these Immortal cultivators was fundamentally different. For example, how many cultivation techniques could be learned? It was completely like a fantasy. As for the attribute bonus, there was no place to reason with it.
Every profession’s skill system and the sect’s skill system were separate, and after he transmigrated, he realized that he was the only player in this world. In other words, his profession’s skills had already become a brand new sect of their own, and no one could see through it.
“What’s impossible? you don’t believe it because you don’t want to believe how shallow your shortcomings are. You’re still in the Nascent Soul stage after hundreds of years and you can’t let go of the Water Moon Dock. You’ve wasted all your years cultivating.”
After Liu Yuan finished his taunting, he pulled the longbow in his hand again. The flames were ignited, but this time, he aimed it at Zou Wenrui.
Zou Wenrui was just about to curse when he was shocked. He remembered the power of the arrow just now and quickly reached out to make a hand seal to summon the wyrm to protect him.
The wrym was still in pain. Due to the conditions of the blood sacrifice, it had no choice but to listen to Zou Wenrui and swim over quickly. However, when it saw the flames on Liu Yuan’s bow, it panicked and subconsciously chose to retreat.
In fact, Liu Yuan had only released a general attack, ‘Flowing Fire Arrow’, but the wrym was really frightened. Zou Wenrui gritted his teeth and flew towards the wrym.
His Wi and blood were depleted, and his body was weak. He would definitely die from one arrow.
However, the wrym was not willing to do so either. It had come out of the seal, recovered its cultivation, and seen the light of day again. It had thought that it would be able to enjoy a good life, but it was suddenly shot by an arrow, and it exploded in the mouth.
It was still a mouthful of devil pepper.
The dragon was in a bad mood.
Now, it saw that Liu Yuan seemed to be about to shoot another arrow. Once bitten, twice shy. Its whole body was faintly aching. Even the fire that it used to love seemed to have become its enemy. It felt very bitter in its heart.
The wrym roared and wanted to go back into the water. However, Zou Wenrui controlled the blood sacrifice array and immediately activated the power of the array to pull the wrym over.
“Roar!”
For a moment, it became a tug-of-war between the man and the dragon. Liu Yuan held his bow, but for a moment, he did not know if he should shoot or not.
A moment later, the wrym’s resistance was futile. Its demonic nature was triggered. With red eyes, it turned over and rushed directly at Zou Wenrui.
“????!!!” Zou Wenrui was shocked and angry at first, then he retreated. Then, he thought of ordering it to retreat. However, this would expose him to Liu Yuan’s bow and arrow again. He gritted his teeth and stood still. He forcefully charged and fell into the water.
The Blood Sacrifice Array took effect, and the patterns lit up with a blinding red light. The wrym roared and turned around to charge at Liu Yuan, but its eyes were clearly unwilling.
Liu Yuan shot three arrows at it in a row. The wrym dodged two arrows, but was hit in the eye by the third arrow. It wailed in pain. When it regained its vision, it saw that Liu Yuan had not fired the fourth arrow, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
“Where is Xue Yan?” Liu Yuan suddenly shouted.
Xue Yan came out from the crowd and immediately replied, “Here!”
Liu Yuan pointed at the lake. “Draw the lightning, break the formation.”
