Above all spirits

Chapter 491 Gu Yun vs. Huang Xiaoyu

Gu Yun raised his hand and swung his sword, slashing in the direction he was about to dodge.

A purple-gold blade of energy, carrying the aura of death, burst forth, slicing through the sky like the gaping maw of an abyss, instantly creating space for Gu Yun to dodge.

This is why [Return to Silence] is more powerful than [Burying]. [Burying] is like poison; it can only fully exert its properties by attaching to a physical weapon or body through contact. Once separated, it will decrease sharply with distance and eventually turn into a simple magical blade.

Unlike [Guiji], it can achieve long-range attacks.

that's it.

The other frost feathers that Gu Yun hadn't shattered passed right by his body.

But Huang Xiaoyu's lips curled into an unusual smile.

She pulled back with one hand, and the ice sculpture woman behind her did the same.

The Frost Feathers instantly turned back.

At the same time, Huang Xiaoyu transformed into an arc of light and rushed towards Gu Yun, forming a pincer attack.

They didn't give Gu Yun any time to react.

Feeling the threats coming from both sides in an instant, Gu Yun did not panic at all. Instead, he began to analyze the principle behind Huang Xiaoyu's move.

It turned out to be the case.

The power of ice element was used to give the "sword energy" a physical form, making it easier to control without losing its power. If it were a sword energy in the ordinary form of energy, whether it was magic or other elemental power, as long as it was in the form of energy, it would be possible to change its trajectory. However, to achieve this kind of reversal control would be very difficult in actual combat.

Gu Yun immediately distanced himself from Huang Xiaoyu, choosing to turn his back to the frost-covered feathers and charge in the opposite direction.

Ok?

A confused thought flashed through Huang Xiaoyu's mind.

Is this a sign that they're giving up?

Should we choose to dodge by taking the side that will cause less damage?

It seems that even beings that have attained their true form are nothing more than this; it's all just a matter of luck.

just.

This disdainful expression lingered on Huang Xiaoyu's face for less than a second, replaced by shock and realization.

The frost feathers, which should have predictably pierced through Gu Yun's body, left her unharmed and instead stabbed towards her.

No, this can no longer be called a body.

Huang Xiaoyu stared at the humanoid vortex in the air, which was flashing with a blue halo, her pupils contracted sharply, and she paled.

"Wind elementalization?!"

Careless.

She should have thought of that.

Since Gu Yun is a member of the Shadow Demon Clan, it is only natural that he would master the power that has gained fame in recent years and is inseparable from the Shadow Demon Clan, which allows him to adapt to multiple elements. However, even this power has a certain degree of individuality.

It would be fine if it were other elements.

But it is precisely the wind element that is transformed.

The power of ice element can cause negligible damage to individuals transformed into wind element, unless they are continuously controlled with the [Ice Seal] property, but only a domain can achieve the area-of-effect [Ice Seal].

Just as earth element overcomes water element, and water element overcomes fire element.

Wind element is a natural counter to ice element, which is more of a physical element.

Huang Xiaoyu quickly pushed her left hand, which was controlling the frost feathers, to the left. She wouldn't hurt herself, but the key issue was that this mistake disrupted her offensive rhythm. If Gu Yun seized the opportunity and took control, she would be in a very passive position.

Is Gu Yun the kind of person who will wait for you to recover before continuing to hit you?

The incoming purple-gold blade light had already said it all.

Obviously not.

Huang Xiaoyu bit her lip and swung her sword to meet the attack, hoping that the [Sharpness] property could suppress Gu Yun for a moment and allow her to adjust her state.

"Qiang!"

The clang of metal on metal was fleeting.

Huang Xiaoyu's entire body flew backward in an instant.

The idea was good, but reality is cruel.

It can't be suppressed at all.

The ability to block this attack was entirely due to the [Sharpness] trait and the powerful tolerance of the Supreme Golden Body.

The shockwave from the longsword made Huang Xiaoyu feel a tightness in her chest, and the tiger's mouth holding the sword was bruised red. This was an experience she had never had since she used the Supreme Emperor Golden Body.

Huang Xiaoyu finally realized that engaging in close combat with Gu Yun was not a wise choice.

As Gu Yun's purple-gold blade light approached once again.

"Qiang!"

Huang Xiaoyu could only awkwardly raise her sword to defend herself again.

The feeling of chest tightness intensified further.

A faint, tingling electric current sensation came from the tiger's mouth.

"Xiaoyu, do you need me to help?"

A caring greeting entered Huang Xiaoyu's mind from the jade ornament she wore close to her body.

"unnecessary!"

Huang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth inwardly.

As the princess of the Supreme Palace, she is also the most outstanding young member of the Supreme Demon Clan, and is someone that all demons look up to.

I have never been in such an embarrassing predicament before.

The praise he used to receive from the elders of the clan seemed to have turned into irony, including the consolation he was receiving from his elder brother.

Huang Xiaoyu wasn't the kind of devil who would lose her head in a moment of passion and not understand the situation. She clearly realized that things couldn't continue like this, and that Gu Yun was now in charge of the battle.

Each attack she can only rely on [Sharpness] and the power: Supreme Emperor Golden Body to wear down her opponent, but this is very disadvantageous for her.

Because of Gu Yun's strange characteristics, her energy expenditure far exceeded that of ordinary people. Eventually, she was out of breath, and her [Sharpness] was suppressed for a moment. During that moment, the strange characteristics invaded her body, and she was sure to be defeated.

She must create an opportunity to escape this predicament.

However, to escape this predicament, one must relinquish the power: Supreme Golden Body, and use other means to block one of Gu Yun's attacks. This is the inherent flaw of status-based powers; they must be relinquished before other powers can be used.

And in between.

It will take a little time.

This way she can create distance and break free to counterattack.

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

Gu Yun and Huang Xiaoyu danced back and forth in the air like two intersecting shooting stars.

of course.

This is a statement of high emotional intelligence.

Low emotional intelligence means that whichever direction Gu Yun swings his knife, Huang Xiaoyu flies backward in the same direction, like a piece of duckweed on the sea, swaying with the waves, being chased and beaten unilaterally.

But Huang Xiaoyu wasn't like Er Lengzi, who only knew how to take a beating.

This time.

She seemed to have figured out Gu Yun's moves.

A resolute glint flashed in Huang Xiaoyu's eyes. Before the next purple-gold blade of light arrived, she decisively deactivated her power: Supreme Emperor Golden Body.

The reddish-gold color on the skin surface slowly faded.

Having lost his powers: the residual recoil from the Supreme Emperor's Golden Body caused Huang Xiaoyu to groan in pain, but fortunately, most of it had dissipated, so while he felt pain, it didn't affect his mobility.

Huang Xiaoyu stared intently at the blade that Gu Yun had brought "as promised."

The power of ice and metal elements intertwined and adhered to the blade.

The Supreme Demon Clan possesses two powerful racial talents: a power-based one and an elemental one.

In addition to having a high compatibility with the four elements, the racial talents of the elemental factions can also achieve temporary compatibility and assimilation. This assimilation is not a cooperation and fusion in the usual sense, but rather a way to strengthen the power and characteristics of a particular element.

This is to implement the "ultimate" way of the Supreme Demon Clan.
