Chapter 153: Lu Bu's Breakthrough
She was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, lowering her head to look into the iceberg.
Crack! Crack!
The iceberg was shattering!
The movements of Song Qi, trapped within, had shifted slightly.
"This human still has signs of life!"
"He actually used his physical body to withstand the damage of the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice!?"
The Snake Girl could not believe it!
Her snake-like pupils narrowed almost to vertical slits!
This was completely different from the fragile humans she knew, who would perish in droves from a casual strike!
Two gusts of wind rushed toward her.
Lu Bu and Di Xin were closing in once again!
They gave her no chance to catch her breath.
The Snake Girl dodged again, her expression becoming increasingly grave and tense. Gone was the composure she had shown when she first encountered Song Qi.
"Cough!"
A cyan jade scale was spat out from her stomach.
As the scale emerged, a ring of cyan defensive light flickered into existence, wrapping around her. This was, in all likelihood, the item that had just helped her escape danger.
Thump!
Bang!
The attacks from Di Xin and Lu Bu landed on the defensive barrier, stirring up ripples, yet they failed to pierce through!
The world origin energy contained within this barrier...
Seeing this, she chuckled.
"As I thought!"
"Truly worthy of the scales bestowed upon me by the Mother Goddess!"
"Even if you have mastered a shred of divine power, the strength within this is absolutely not something you mortal beings can break!"
"After that last strike, your internal power must be nearly exhausted, right?"
"And as for the scales inside me... I still have nine more to go!"
The Snake Girl relaxed completely, her tone dripping with mockery.
"Despair!"
"Tremble!"
"This is the gap between you humans and us gods!"
"The might of a god is not merely reflected in divine power, but even more so in our foundational heritage!"
"Hiss!~~"
She flicked her tongue, turning her gaze toward Song Qi in the iceberg with a cruel look in her eyes.
"Then... let's start with you."
Having confirmed that the opponent could not break her defense, she was no longer in a hurry. She prepared to slowly torture these madmen who dared to lay a hand on the progeny of a god.
Crack! Crack!
The ice shattered again.
The Snake Girl’s figure paused!
She sensed something was wrong.
A strange aura was suddenly erupting from Song Qi inside the iceberg!
Crack!
Song Qi's right arm suddenly moved...
The next moment...
BOOM!!!
A beam of azure light erupted violently from his right fist!
The same extreme cold, the same intense aura of death, emanated from the beam!
As the beam struck the defensive barrier...
Snap!
The cyan jade scale hovering before her forehead shattered instantly!
The beam dissipated at the same time.
"How is this possible!!"
"What kind of ability is this!?"
Although she wasn't injured, the Snake Girl was shocked beyond words!
The opponent's methods were beyond her imagination!
He had actually used the innate ability exclusive to the Purple Glow Mystic Snake clan!
And the power within it was even stronger!
It had even shattered the scale bestowed upon her by the Mother Goddess!
"Cough!"
Without a moment's hesitation, she spat out two more scales.
She then rapidly widened the distance between them. The strength Song Qi had displayed left her feeling uncertain, and she dared not test him so recklessly again.
At this moment, Song Qi finally climbed out of the iceberg.
He looked unsatisfied.
"What a pity... it took so much effort to find an opportunity to use this skill."
"I didn't expect her to stop attacking after only a few seconds."
"Since I didn't accumulate enough damage, I didn't get to experience the thrill of being a 'One-Punch Man.' Such a shame."
Under the Di Xin template, Song Qi had a 50% damage reduction, plus the 30% that Di Xin provided to teammates.
This brought his total damage reduction to a massive 80%!
Coupled with the [Black Gold God Boots] he obtained yesterday, which provided another 15% damage reduction, he could mitigate up to 95% of non-rule-level skills!
Not to mention Di Xin’s terrifying constitution stats.
The opponent’s attacks could only cause him a modicum of pain.
It was precisely for this reason that the trio of Di Xin, Lu Bu, and Song Qi remained completely calm. They could sense that Song Qi’s aura was not the least bit chaotic.
"Alright, then next..."
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The heavens and earth resonated in unison!
A magnificent and epic musical movement echoed from the depths of the entire space!
[Song of Life: Allies within the range of the song recover 10% of their life force, mental power, and stamina per second. Duration: 300 seconds. Cooldown: 48 hours.]
Lu Bu, who had been somewhat exhausted, regained his vigor in mere seconds.
Song Qi gestured with his right hand, and a second Fangtian Huaji (Halberd) appeared in his grip.
Two equally solid phantoms of the Demon God emerged behind them.
The Snake Girl was now so shocked she couldn't speak!
She truly could not comprehend the methods of the human before her. She couldn't even guess what his abilities were!
She wanted to interrogate him, but Song Qi had no intention of chatting.
Snap!
A five-times experience card was crushed.
"It's time to end this!"
Song Qi and Lu Bu raised their halberds in unison.
"Slash!" x2
Two massive halberds tore through space, falling in alternating arcs.
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
The earth trembled!
The sky shattered!
The nearly thousand-meter-tall iceberg was pulverized by the shockwaves!
[Experience Points +12,000,000,000]
[World Origin +1]
The Snake Girl didn't even have time to spit out her remaining scales before she was blasted into fragments by the double strike.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several beams of white light descended.
A massive influx of 12 billion experience points flowed into Song Qi!
His level leaped from 53 to 56!
"Oh, she actually provided 2.4 billion experience points? It seems her level must be above 95."
"And there's a guaranteed point of World Origin as well."
"A bountiful harvest this time!"
Song Qi opened his panel and summarized happily.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and opened Lu Bu's information.
[Lu Bu (60% Unsealed)]
[Self-Sacrificing Strike (Fused with Origin): Lu Bu abandons all defense, pouring his entire strength into his weapon to deliver a heaven-shattering blow! Simultaneously ignores half of the opponent's defense.]
Song Qi nodded in satisfaction.
After fusing with the origin, Lu Bu's talent had gained an armor-piercing effect. It fit his own attributes perfectly.
"As expected of my summoned spirit, truly talented! To be able to break through in battle and comprehend a new realm!"
"But I'm not bad either; I've already comprehended the second origin!"
After reviewing this information, Song Qi prepared to loot the corpses.
However...
The already precarious duel space finally could not withstand their repeated battering...
Creak!~~~
A harsh grinding sound echoed from all directions...
Bang!
As the surrounding space shattered, their figures, along with the corpse of the hundreds-of-meters-long giant snake, appeared in the sky above the lake.
Countless mating Purple Glow Mystic Snakes were caught off guard by the sudden drop.
Song Qi landed directly in a pile of giant snakes.
Seeing that it was a human, countless mystic snakes immediately bared their fangs in rage!
They quickly crawled onto his body, wrapping tightly around him, attempting to crush him to death!
Other giant snakes opened their blood-red maws, preparing to swallow his head in one bite.
"Tch!"
Song Qi threw a punch in annoyance!
[Experience Points +3,000,000]
Bang!
The giant snake's head shattered like a watermelon.
Song Qi stood up, stretching his limbs, and easily tore apart the snake bodies wrapped around him.
"Forget it, I'll loot them all later."
"Let's deal with this group of divine beasts first."
