Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 1757: Heavenly Instinct
-----
After witnessing Wu Lieng’s relentless assaults and unbreakable endurance, the three Vampire Dukes panicked, hastily conjuring a formation to trap him.
"How can he still move when he’s limbless?!"
"Can a human even endure this much pain?!"
"He’s turning his own Martial Soul into limbs! What a monster!"
As the formation materialized around Wu Lieng, his dragon claws ripped through it, shattering it completely.
CRASH!
"WHAT?!"
The three Vampire Dukes stood shocked, desperately summoning their Sanguine Relics for battle.
Yet...
"{Heavenly Demonic Dragon Arts}: {Heaven-Splitting Roar}!!!"
"ROOOAAARRRR!"
RUMBLE!
The thunderous roar of his Dream Spirit Martial Soul reverberated, shaking their very souls and forcing blood from their mouths.
Their bodies trembled in primal terror as the gigantic dragon charged toward them.
"Aaaaaggh!"
In an instant, it bit down, tearing them to shreds and burning them to ashes.
All three at once!
"Those were Vampire Dukes! We only have a few in our family! Ahhh, my father will kill me if I don’t bring you back now!" the Archduchess groaned, leaping to her feet in panic. "I’ll tear you apart myself! I’ll start by destroying your eyes and senses completely!"
She blurred forward like a crimson streak, clapping her hands before him with mountain-crushing force.
TRUUUM!
"Ungh! Aagh!"
Wu Lieng screamed as agonizing pain exploded in his ears. Suddenly, he could hear nothing.
The Vampire Archduchess then thrust her index fingers into his eyes, digging deep.
"Aaaaagh!"
Wu Lieng howled as his eyes burst into blood, leaving him blind, deaf, and limbless.
"Fufu! That should suffice! Now—"
"DON’T THINK THAT’LL STOP MEEEEE!"
"{Heavenly Demonic Dragon Arts}: {Heavenly Ascension}!!!"
"ROOOAAAR!"
Veloria’s eyes widened in shock as Wu Lieng swung his ethereal fists upward, striking her chin the moment her guard slipped.
By layering Kim Huan’s shields over those fists, the resulting explosion of power was cataclysmic.
"Wha— AAAAAAAGGH!"
Veloria shrieked in excruciating agony as the blow shattered her chin, sending it flying along with her tongue. Her body hurtled skyward.
The ascending dragon struck her head, tearing through her skull and blasting a massive hole through it, while her arms vanished, devoured by draconic fangs.
"A-Aaahh! What is happening?! He harmed...! He harmed me?! No...! It hurts! It hurts so much! How...! How dare he!"
She frantically regenerated her lost parts, only to see Wu Lieng surge into the skies, roaring with unbridled fury.
The blood energy from his victims transformed into vital life force, flooding his eyes and ears, restoring his senses through an unending surge of Ki.
Veloria’s rage consumed her. Summoning twin Blood Swords as Sanguine Relics, she dove downward.
"I’ll cut you into pieces, you wretched bastard! I don’t care if you die! I WILL ANNIHILATE YOU MYSELF!!!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
To her astonishment, she battled him nearly on equal footing.
"What?!"
Her eyes widened again, realizing Wu Lieng’s mastery of martial arts was extraordinary.
He dodged her strikes, countered her crude sword techniques that lacked refinement, and relentlessly struck her pressure points with dragon claws.
Each destroyed meridian slowed her regeneration.
Those flames burned with ferocious intensity, gradually scorching her flawless pale skin.
"BASTARD!"
She kicked his face away, exploiting her superior speed to blitz across the heavens, slashing his body repeatedly and covering him in deep wounds.
Somehow, despite easily severing his limbs earlier, his torso had grown immensely resilient, and those persistent shields protected him from most special abilities.
Yet she gradually gained the upper hand, unleashing dozens of Blood and Abyss Spells in rapid succession.
Her Blood Soul Aura erupted, countless screaming souls fusing into colossal limbs that assaulted Wu Lieng from every direction.
More weapons poured from her seemingly infinite arsenal.
"I can’t die here. I can’t lose! I must fight—for those who fell, for those who died, for those who suffered and still suffer! I must fight...! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
Wu Lieng’s heart pounded faster, draconic power surging through his bloodline as he slipped into a profound trance-like state.
"Huh?!"
Veloria faltered as Wu Lieng suddenly moved with eerie slowness.
Yet within that deliberate calm, he evaded every attack flawlessly.
"What...! What is this?!"
He dodged even devastating explosive spells and her Blood Soul Aura.
"Impossible! Has he unlocked some new technique?!"
Indeed, he had.
In that desperate moment...
{Heavenly Demonic Dragon Arts}: {Heavenly Instinct}
An instinct born from ceaseless Ki flow and absolute mastery of Consciousness, enveloping the user completely.
A technique of legendary difficulty.
Yet in this crucible of life and death, Wu Lieng finally attained it—the very ability that once made his father untouchable.
"Damn it! Stand still! Formation, bind him!"
Veloria screamed. Her Dominion warped space around Wu Lieng, striving to halt him.
But he evaded even the spatial distortions.
He had to win.
No matter the cost.
For his children who perished.
For his father.
For the girl weeping in this monster’s grasp.
For Kim Huan.
He had to.
BOOOM!
"Ngaaah?!"
Veloria cried out as one of Wu Lieng’s strikes finally landed, shattering her nose and sending teeth flying.
"Ungh? AAAAAGH!"
Worse, Heavenly Demonic Dragon flames engulfed her face, burning skin, flesh, and bone as she fought to regenerate against the relentless inferno.
"NOOOOO!"
Her Aura detonated, consuming the flames in a shockwave that staggered Wu Lieng, granting her an opening to slash through his torso.
"DIE!"
CLAAANK!
Yet, to her horror, three floating weapons forged of stars and dreams intercepted her blade.
"What?!"
The weapons were wielded by three of Wu Lieng’s disciples, astride a massive spectral cat.
"Master! Don’t give up! We’re here!"
"You insolent worms! Do you wish to end up as bloody pulp?!"
She swung her hand, poised to repeat the brutality inflicted on Kim Huan.
But in that exact instant...
"ENOUGH!"
A tremendous tremor erupted from Wu Lieng, disrupting her Blood Magic and redirecting it away from him.
"Nnnggh... HAAAH!"
The old warrior expelled the invading force and hurled it back, causing one of her arms to burst.
SPLAT!
"W-Wha...?! YOU DARE?!"
Veloria lost all composure. Her Blood Soul Aura exploded outward, manifesting a vast armory of Sanguine Relic Weapons that rained down upon Wu Lieng and his disciples.
"PERISH!!!"
