Chapter 390: [Shenxia Dynasty]_2
He had never imagined that his physique, which he took pride in for being capable of the "Twenty Uses With One Mind," would not have any advantage in Song Chi's hands. Instead, he felt as though he was being suppressed in return.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.
A flash of Ghost Light flickered between his eyebrows, and in the next second, the entire hall was filled with silver light. To the astonished gaze of the guests below, his hand now held a long saber shimmering with silver light.
It was no wonder the guests lost their composure; a Silver Legendary Oddity weapon was an existence that, even among a common Sixth Rank power, could be the foundation of a clan, and was usually traded through secret channels for other Strange Objects of the same Rank that could be converted into Warship components.
It was only a family with tens of thousands of years of heritage like the Vladimir Immortal Clan that could afford to give such Rank-appropriate Strange Objects to their direct descendants as weapons.
In an instant, the situation on the stage changed dramatically, and all the guests' eyes turned to Song Chi on the other side.
A Silver Legendary Oddity weapon was enough to determine the outcome of this battle if Song Chi could not produce a weapon of the same Rank.
However, at that moment, a flash of Ghost Light flickered from Song Chi's forehead, and a silver light just as dazzling erupted a second time in the castle's great hall.
The Silver Dragon Spear was summoned forth.
The appearance of the Silver Dragon Spear incited even more enthusiastic shouts from the grand hall.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of the saber and spear clashing echoed; Feike's long saber was enveloped by the Power of Flame Laws, and Song Chi's Silver Dragon Spear was covered with Spatial Laws. Bolstered by the Third Rank Peak Spectral Energy, the energy intensity from their confrontation even reached the Fourth Rank Level.
In an instant, as though with a tacit understanding, the two on the mechanical stage both retreated rapidly after their weapons collided once more.
"Why keep this up? How about we decide the outcome with one move?" Feike spoke up first.
Song Chi didn't need to respond. As his words fell, rolling flames began to rise around him. The orange-red flames rapidly converged until they formed several small shadows of Fire Cotton Snakes.
Upon the stage, the elder Torch Ship Captains recognized the move immediately.
"That's... 'Cottonflame Boiling Sea'? To think that even this secret technique has been mastered. Medici, another devilish genius has emerged from your Vladimir Family!"
'Cottonflame Boiling Sea,' a High Rank secret technique of extraordinary might within the Vladimir Family, capable of boiling seas and scorching skies when fully mastered.
Hearing this, Medici merely smiled without saying a word.
Looking back to Song Chi on the mechanical combat platform, seeing his opponent activate an unknown Attack method, his reaction was just as quick. Lifting his Silver Dragon Spear, the tip of the spear gathered an incredibly sharp Ruins Spear Glow at a rapid pace.
Shortly after, the sky filled with mini Fire Cotton Snakes suddenly burst. The Flame Energy in the grand hall's airspace increased manifold; under this assault, the Space Law Area surrounding the Law Dragon Whale could hardly resist anymore, being completely suppressed by the opposing giant Fire Cotton Snake's Flame Domain.
An infinite sea of fire surged toward Song Chi below.
Even after suppressing the Law Dragon Whale, the giant Fire Cotton Snake's eyes sank with increased intensity, suddenly fixing its gaze on Song Chi's true self below.
If it were anyone else, they would be affected by such a gaze; even becoming briefly delirious would be a mild reaction. But through the addition of his Double Pupils, Song Chi merely felt a slight tingling in his mind and no further impact.
Facing the boundless sea of fire rushing from above, he had no time to think too much; he swung his Silver Dragon Spear in a one hundred eighty-degree arc.
Swoosh!
A supreme Ruins Spear Glow tore through the sea of fire, aimed directly at Feike Vladimir at the heart of the inferno.
Feike's face showed shock as he sensed the daunting Power of Annihilation within the Ruins Glow.
"Cottonflame Boiling Sea, suppress for me!"
With his thoughts moving, the boundless sea of fire stopped spreading towards Song Chi and began to quickly condense, transforming into numerous Fire Cotton Snakes that lunged at the invading Ruins Glow.
One by one, mini Fire Cotton Snakes were annihilated by the Ruins Glow; and with their desperate blocking, the Ruins Glow gradually lost force until it completely dissipated mere meters away from Feike.
"Again!"
Across the fiery sea, Song Chi's eyes were swiftly swirling with the Power of Laws, and he once again raised the Silver Dragon Spear in his hand, gathering for the second time the Ruins Spear Glow at the tip of the spear.
On the opposite side, Feike was doing the same.
This was the advantage of secret techniques: as long as your own strength and the Power of Laws you controlled could sustain it, secret techniques could be cast infinitely without the need for buffering like a warship's components.
Humming vibrations filled the air!
Spatial fluctuations appeared, and although the method of condensing was the same, this time Song Chi chose a completely different attack method.
After condensing the second Ruins Spear Glow, the leftover Energy of the Space Law circulated around him, enveloping his body and disappearing into the void, leaving only a residual image in his original place.
Entering the Flame Domain, Song Chi found the effectiveness of his Flash Escape significantly weakened by the Power of the Space Law, which greatly affected his blitz tactics. Using this gap in time, Feike once again gathered a dense swarm of Fire Cotton Snakes.
These numerous mini Fire Cotton Snakes converged between the two, aiming to block Song Chi's approach.
At the same time, Song Chi also felt the terrifying scorching power conveyed by the surrounding air. Beneath this dreadful flame, his entire body turned red, and his skin stingingly hot, a sign that his body couldn't withstand the endless roasting.
In comparison, the corners of Feike Vladimir's mouth were turning upward as Song Chi's approach presented him with an opportunity for a killing blow.
Under his control, a massive Fire Cotton Serpent that had completely suppressed the Law Dragon Whale suddenly became apparent. The next second, all the Flame Energy overflowing from the apparition of the giant serpent sank down, merging entirely into the infinite mini Fire Cotton Snakes of the "Cottonflame Boiling Sea" secret technique.
At this moment, the air above the entire castle hall seemed to be boiling, with countless furious mini Fire Cotton Snakes roaring towards the void where Song Chi had vanished.
One could imagine that if these violent mini Fire Cotton Snakes were to explode en masse nearby, even Song Chi, hidden within the spatial void, would be severely injured in an instant.
Just when everyone thought the battle was about to determine a victor, a spatial rift suddenly emerged within the boundless heatwaves above the grand hall, tiny strands of starlight projecting through the crack.
Almost in the blink of an eye, this rift expanded infinitely, until a miniature star emerged from within, revealing its form.
"Shaking Light Star Descends!"
Below, Gary Frandy uttered these four words, a smile on his face.
For Zhou Li and others, who were not unfamiliar with the fundamental secret technique of the "Shaking Light Star Tower," their hearts were instinctively uplifted.
With this, counting the "Dragon Whale State" and the previously used Ruins Spear Glow secret technique, Song Chi had now revealed the third secret technique. Just based on this, even if he ultimately lost this duel, no one would have anything to say.
On the mechanical platform above, as the Shaking Light Star projection appeared and the scattering starlight restricted them, the dense shooting speed of the violent Fire Cotton Snakes abruptly slowed down, while the aura from Song Chi hidden within the space surged suddenly.
Between the increase and decrease, Song Chi's Flash Escape speed shot up explosively. In an inconceivable trajectory, he instantly evaded the encirclement of all the mini Fire Cotton Snakes.
Whoosh!
By the time everyone in the hall regained a clear view of the situation, Song Chi, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear, was already standing close to Feike, with the spear tip just tens of centimeters away from Feike's neck. The faint Ruins Spear Glow gathering at the tip of the spear almost split Feike's head entirely open.
However, Song Chi ultimately knew restraint and did not truly deal a mortal blow, stopping at the final moment.
"Good!"
"Shaking Light, Shaking Light!"
...
Below, within the grand hall, enthusiastic cheers had begun to resound.
What the guests didn't know was that at that moment, Song Chi was enveloped by an indescribable mighty power. Although he originally didn't intend to kill, this mysterious force was the first to envelop him, rendering him unable to move at this moment.
