Protect Our Chief-Chapter 654 - 74 Powerful! Shouzhe Great Celestial Pride_2
"It seems my information was not wrong."
Wang Shouzhe sighed.
In fact, even before making a move, he was nearly ten percent certain. The reason for his verbal probing was simply out of caution, to confirm one last time.
He looked at Zuoqiu Qingyun and said, "Zuoqiu Qingyun, I have long investigated your character. Though you were born into a Fourth-Grade Noble Family, you are narrow-minded and vindictive. Since you intend to act against me, even if you fail this time, you won’t easily give up and will only intensify your efforts. To eradicate the root of the problem once and for all, I can only strike first."
"Zuoqiu Qingyun, today is the day of your death."
"Hmph~ With just you?!" Not only was Zuoqiu Qingyun unflustered, but a dense killing intent surged around him, "You, a mere Late-Stage Spirit Platform Realm, think you can stop me? Truly ignorant of life and death! Get out of my way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a malevolent and bizarre yet incredibly powerful aura surged from him, amplified by Elder Jiang’s Divine Soul Power.
Simultaneously, the Middle-Grade Spirit Sword in his hand spun, suddenly emitting waves of eerie peach-colored light.
This was the "Soul-Shaking Sword Technique" he learned after meeting Elder Jiang, capable of affecting a person’s Divine Soul through evil techniques, influencing an opponent’s mindset during battle with endless marvels.
Against a Celestial Human Realm expert, one level above him, this swordsmanship had limited effect, but against a fellow Spirit Platform Realm opponent, it was remarkably effective.
Today, he would show Wang Shouzhe what it meant to be utterly overpowered!
Zuoqiu Qingyun moved with the sword, twisting his wrist, and a sinister sword light stabbed fiercely toward Wang Shouzhe.
Divine Soul Power condensed in the sword light, spreading layers of peach-colored Sword Intent.
For anyone with slightly weaker will, influenced by this Sword Intent, their mind would fill with overlapping illusions, making it impossible to concentrate on the battle even if they didn’t become immersed in it.
However, Wang Shouzhe seemed completely unaffected, his expression unchanged.
As the sword light drew closer, he focused his thoughts, and a cloaked figure suddenly flew out from behind him, intercepting the attack at lightning speed.
A tremendous aura surged from the figure, erupting like a mountain roaring and sea crashing.
In the next moment.
His figure sank, and he punched directly at the incoming sword light!
"Boom~~~!!"
As if thunder had exploded, the entire Peach Blossom Forest reverberated with a mighty roar.
Under the fierce and unmatched impact of the punch, the peach-colored sword light and Sword Intent were shattered into pieces.
Zuoqiu Qingyun’s whole body shook, flying backward — he was flung several zhang away before he barely managed to regain his balance.
The shattered Sword Intent, accompanied by the fierce punch wind, wreaked havoc, causing the surrounding peach trees to sway madly and countless petals to rain down. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The cloak on the figure was blown open by the turbulent wind, revealing a robust form with a metallic sheen underneath.
The figure was actually a Metal Puppet!
"Celestial Human Realm Puppet?!"
Zuoqiu Qingyun’s pupils shrank, his movements momentarily frozen by this sudden development.
Evidently, this figure that burst forth was Wang Shouzhe’s Celestial Human Realm Puppet, Wang Shouzhu.
Since its costly restoration, this was Wang Shouzhu’s first real action. Though it was just a simple punch, the strength and dominance of the Celestial Human Realm Puppet were clear.
While Zuoqiu Qingyun was in shock, the vines in the surrounding forest began to grow wildly.
The vines, like great pythons, twisted and surged toward Zuoqiu Qingyun, engulfing him in an endless sea of vines in the blink of an eye.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.
In the past, controlling so many vines at once would have been a tremendous effort, but now, it was effortless.
A difference of even one layer of bloodline power is truly worlds apart.
This disparity must be experienced firsthand to be fully understood.
In the past, he only knew that the Great Celestial Pride was formidable, but now that he himself had become one, and his bloodline had evolved to the Fourth Layer, he deeply felt the extraordinary nature of the Spirit Body of the Spirit Platform Realm.
After becoming a Spirit Body, his affinity with plants had significantly increased. Not only did his efficiency in absorbing Wood Elemental Spirit Qi improve, but the Divine Thought consumed in controlling plants during battles was also noticeably reduced, making control even smoother.
This was also the reason he could precisely grasp Zuoqiu Qingyun’s movements.
Throughout the Peach Blossom Forest, there were "eyes and ears" he had nurtured in advance.
And as time went by, his meridians were becoming wider and more resilient under the nourishment of bloodline power, his Divine Thought even strengthening, giving him a sense of rebirth.
And these were just the most fundamental changes.
The greatest transformation lay in his understanding of "intent."
All the techniques in this world, when practiced to the extreme, would produce "intent." The sword has "Sword Intent," the blade has "Sword Intent," the fist has "Fist Intent," even archery has "Archery Intent."
"Intent," when broken down, is just a bit of insight. Once understood, once comprehended, the power of techniques can increase significantly.
Generally speaking, only upon reaching the Celestial Human Realm can one comprehend their own "intent." But for a Great Celestial Pride with a Spirit Body in the Spirit Platform Realm, there is a chance to touch the level of "intent" within the Spirit Platform Realm.
