What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 218
218 A Slap
“Just because you’re tough doesn’t mean that I can’t kill you.”
Hong Luo’s eyes were emotionless, “However, you were captured so easily by me. I don’t think you’ll die from this.”
He was defeated just by her throwing a fireball. Even if this person was still at the Golden Core realm, this definitely was not all he had.
The next second, her pupils constricted.
Song Shi appeared behind her out of thin air without any warning.
!!
Amidst the dragon’s roar, a volcanic eruption of power poured down on her back and instantly shattered the air between them.
Song Shi retracted his palm and looked at the shattered Hong Luo. The other party had already become a paper figurine that was burning in the flames.
“Paper clone?”
He fell into deep thought. This clone looked even more brilliant than his One Qi Cloning Technique because the paper figurine had a physical body and was more resilient.
At this moment, the other paper effigy turned into Hong Luo. She looked like a real person, and her eyes were a little more serious, “Your method of escaping is quite brilliant. It seems that the benefits of killing you are higher than expected.”
“Do you want me to help you restrict him further?” Lu Bingxuan asked. He had already sensed that Song Shi was troublesome.
Even he did not notice how Song Shi escaped just now. He too had thought that she had killed the real Song Shi.
“Not yet!”
Hong Luo was competitive. She formed a hand seal with one hand and the paper effigy chuckled. A sword appeared in her hand and she stabbed it at Song Shi.
Amidst the cracking sounds, Song Shi’s body shone with golden light, shattering all the swords.
“That’s it?”
Song Shi was very disappointed, “You want to kill me with just a few paper swords?”
“Imperishable Golden Body?”
Lu Bingxuan narrowed his eyes.
Logically speaking, a fellow with such a tough body wouldn’t be able to escape. However, this person actually knew how to dodge her attacks. The situation seemed to be getting more and more troublesome.
It was as if the paper effigies did not see that Song Shi’s Dharma treasures were unable to break through their bodies. New paper effigies continued stabbing out at him.
The back of Song Shi’s head hurt as Hong Luo approached him and pierced him with a hairpin.
The paper effigies that were unable to injure Song Shi were only there to protect Hong Luo’s true killing strike.
The problem was that Song Shi always appeared at the side unscathed. He casually counterattacked, and flames soared into the sky, blasting many paper effigies into ashes.
There were burning paper effigies everywhere. Gray smoke filled the air. Song Shi stood on a mountaintop and stared sharply at the many paper effigies who were still smiling.
“This old woman is not easy to kill!”
He muttered in his heart. After a few exchanges, he realized that the other party could instantly switch places with the surrounding paper effigies. Her speed when dodging over short distances could also be said to be akin to teleportation. Moreover, he could not be sure which paper effigies the other party would switch places with, so it was very difficult to kill her.
This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful enemy. Song Shi felt that it was as troublesome as killing the Blood-Robed old ghost previously.
The Blood-Robed old ghost could fuse his body into the blood river at anytime, while this old woman had many substitutes.
Looking at the densely packed paper effigies around him, which numbered no less than a thousand, Song Shi felt that if he did not destroy them all at once, it would be very difficult to threaten them.
Hong Luo also felt a headache regarding Song Shi.
Her cultivation was clearly a realm higher, but she could not find any flaws in this person.
In her eyes, this person was full of flaws and could be easily attacked, but his body was too hard. If she wanted to kill him, she had to attack his vital points.
However, every time she killed him, he would escape, causing the supposed flaw in her eyes to be of no value at all. She did not know how to kill this person.
RUMBLE!
At this moment, lightning descended and started to attack the Blood Dragon.
The Array Formation and talismans left behind by Song Shi helped block a portion of the heavenly tribulation. Amidst the furious roars, the Blood Dragon used the power of lightning to undergo the final transformation.
Lu Bingxuan frowned and reminded him, “Hong Luo, hurry up. That Numinous artifact has been upgraded. Killing him will be even more troublesome.”
Numinous artifacts, especially those with special demon beast remnant souls as artifact spirits, were often much more troublesome.
“Understood!”
Hong Luo formed a seal with his hands, and the paper effigy that was entangling Song Shi emitted light. The strokes on it released flames that exploded under Song Shi’s stunned gaze.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions sounded one after another. The paper effigies turned into Explosive Talismans, and their power was even more terrifying than ordinary Explosive Talismans.
The Explosive Talisman was one of the most destructive types of talismans. Usually, a high-grade Explosive Talisman could blow up a mountain, and even the most ordinary one could blow up a building.
The method of making Explosive Talismans was simple, but it was a huge waste of Spiritual Qi. Because of its power, this kind of talisman consumed several times or even dozens of times more than those of the same level. Moreover, it was easy to dodge.
Of course, the range of the explosion that surrounded Song Shi was too wide. At this moment, a radius of ten thousand feet was filled with destructive power.
Lu Bingxuan was familiar with Hong Luo’s methods. He immediately switched to his spell and quickly retreated.
However, his Snow Sky Prison was still maintained for the time being. He restricted the aftershock of the explosion to a single space and augmented the power of this explosion.
Song Shi was in the center of the explosion. Even his Dharma treasure-level body could not withstand an explosion of this scale.
“Damn, this explosion…”
Before he could take another look, he shattered and melted in the explosion. The weak parts of his body were destroyed, leaving only a skeleton that flickered with golden light.
The Snow Sky Prison was on the verge of collapse. Cracks appeared under the impact of the explosion. Fire spewed out, illuminating the two people who appeared.
“He’s dead this time, right? The area he escaped from just now was within a thousand feet.”
Lu Bingxuan looked at the center of the explosion. The flames broke through the prison and turned into a brilliant mushroom fire cloud that spanned more than ten thousand feet.
The surrounding forest trembled and was instantly shattered by the aftershock. Then, it burned, forming a ring of Firestorm that spread out majestically. The spark from the raging fire tore through the air, forming a sound like the roar of a magical beast in fire.
“Hu hu…”
Hong Luo was clearly panting. Using so many Explosive Paper Dolls at once was a huge consumption of Spiritual Qi for her.
However, before she could take a few more breaths, a numbing feeling inexplicably arose in her heart. She instinctively felt a chill run down her spine.
BANG!
A terrifying collision force surged over and her entire body emitted a cracking sound. She let out a muffled groan as she was smashed to the ground. A huge pit instantly appeared on the ground, and a large wave swept up.
In the huge pit that was dozens of feet deep, Hong Luo’s entire body crumpled. She was actually slapped until she became deformed!
“After burning up all the paper effigies, I’ve finally found your true body!”
Flames danced in Song Shi’s palm, leaving behind a terrifying explosive force.
“He’s still alive!”
Lu Bingxuan’s pupils suddenly constricted. He clenched his hand, and a huge ice snake that was thousands of feet long suddenly rushed out. It swallowed Song Shi, who was in the midst of cooling down and rushed into the sky.
Song Shi’s entire body turned cold. He realized that even his Pure Yang True Fire could not withstand it, so he simply could not be bothered to resist. In the blink of an eye, he turned into an ice man.
“Hmph, how can a Golden Core like you withstand my Mystic Ice Will-O-Wisp?”
Lu Bingxuan sneered and clenched his fist. The ice snake lit up and bit down hard.
Kacha kacha!
Cracks appeared on Song Shi’s frozen body. A moment later, he was bitten into pieces of ice. His killing method was completely different from Hong Luo’s.
