Chapter 598: 479
Bailie’s eyes gleamed with a menacing black light. In an instant, an infinite surge of twisted darkness erupted from him as the center, threatening to engulf Su Yuan and Shen Die together!
The Twisted Forest!
Su Yuan had seen this move before. Its power was immense and prohibited any form of displacement; he had once used the teleportation’s strong attack trait to escape it.
However, with the Twisted Garden’s enhancement, this move was now much stronger than before!
Just as Su Yuan was figuring out a way to respond, he felt a sudden shock in his heart. He sensed a supreme yet mysterious wave emanating from behind him!
It seemed like his vision blurred for a moment, and in the next instant, the expanding Twisted Forest suddenly shattered.
A mass of blood splattered from Bailie’s body. A deep wound ran from his abdomen down to his waist!
Bailie stared in astonishment at the gaping wound on his body and the white-haired girl holding the ice saber in front of him. There were still traces of blood on her blade.
For a moment, an unprecedented chill surged uncontrollably in Bailie’s heart!
“What is this…?!”
Not only Bailie, but even Su Yuan and the others were also greatly shocked!
First, something had clearly happened just now; it was as if time had been fragmented.
Second, Luo Bingtong had managed to harm Bailie!
Su Yuan, with his rich combat experience, already deduced what had happened in a matter of moments…
“Time pause!”
Su Yuan’s pupils contracted. He couldn’t believe that Luo Bingtong possessed such a divine skill!
Moreover, this wave didn’t seem like an implanted skill, but rather… the power of the soul!
“Incredible! Using the ice element as a stepping stone to awaken the temporal element?!”
Su Yuan was astounded. It was hard to imagine that Luo Bingtong had become a Star Card Master with dual attributes of time and ice!
“Twisted Piercing!”
Bailie’s heart filled with terror. Though he couldn’t figure out what had happened, there was no time to think. He swung his riding spear heavily towards Luo Bingtong.
Luo Bingtong raised her left hand. She manipulated the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice to form an ice shield in front of her.
The Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice was incredibly hard and didn’t shatter. However, the terrifying power of the Twisted Cavalry Spear pushed Luo Bingtong back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bailie quickly formed seals with one hand and used the Holy Light Technique to treat his wounds.
Although it had been a long time since Bailie had been injured, as a former knight of the Holy Temple, he hadn’t forgotten what to do.
Su Yuan called back Luo Bingtong and asked directly, “Bing Tong, what happened just now?”
Luo Bingtong replied, “Freeze… then cut his neck, but… hit his waist.”
Although Luo Bingtong’s speech was still somewhat labored, Su Yuan roughly understood.
It seemed that Luo Bingtong had used a time-pausing skill and then swung her saber at Bailie’s neck. The wound, however, appeared on his chest due to the distortion power covering his body.
But regardless, Luo Bingtong had indeed struck Bailie even with some deviation.
“Any attack noticed by Bailie cannot harm him.”
Su Yuan once again recalled what the First Generation Virgo had said.
“It seems he was right.”
In an instant, Su Yuan fully understood.
Indeed, as the First Generation Virgo mentioned, if Bailie noticed an attack, it couldn’t harm him.
This “notice” wasn’t just his consciousness noticing but also his body’s instinct!
Even attacks he didn’t react to or see; if his body instinctively recognized it as an attack, it would avoid it.
So Bailie wasn’t afraid of ambushes because his body’s instinct would dodge any sneak attacks, rendering them harmless.
But just now, under the time pause, not only were Bailie’s senses and thoughts paused, but every cell in his body was also completely paused.
In such a case, he naturally couldn’t “notice” the attack, and so he was struck by Luo Bingtong’s saber!
However, Bailie didn’t rely entirely on absolute avoidance. If there was an attack that couldn’t be avoided, wouldn’t that mean instant death?
Thus, after feeling threatened by the Void attack, Bailie activated a second layer of protection, the transformation.
Covered in twisted power, when absolute avoidance failed, the damage of the attack would be twisted and transferred to a non-fatal area.
Hence, the saber originally aimed at his neck ended up injuring his waist.
Su Yuan asked: “Bing Tong, can you still use that time pause skill?”
Luo Bingtong slightly shook her head, “Consumes… too much.”
Consumption, huh…
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, “If I could let you use it once more, could you completely kill him?”
Use it once more?
Luo Bingtong tilted her head, glanced at Bailie who was healing his wound with the Holy Light Technique, and after a brief pause, nodded slightly.
“Mm!”
Seeing this, Su Yuan placed his hand directly on Luo Bingtong’s head.
Feeling the warmth from above her head, Luo Bingtong’s pupils contracted, and her entire body seemed to tense up.
Su Yuan, fully channeling his Star Power, didn’t notice Luo Bingtong’s reaction.
However, Shen Die on the side faintly noticed something and curiously blinked.
At this moment, bright golden light emanated from Su Yuan’s body and surged into Luo Bingtong along his left hand.
Golden phantoms appeared all over Luo Bingtong’s body, making her close her eyes.
Su Yuan then selected the state just before the battle began for Luo Bingtong.
