Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Great Body Shifting Skill
Gong Yu made his move, and Xue Dong felt a jolt within, "What a fierce killing aura!" Right away, with a buzz, he generated the Defensive Light Shield in front of him.
Bang, bang, bang,
Several muffled noises followed, and three out of five streams of killing aura that Gong Yu’s Duoluo Leaf Finger exuded hit Xue Dong’s Light Shield.
Xue Dong felt his body shake as three cracks appeared on the Light Shield in front of him – this was no small shock.
Only someone with a power level comparable or slightly greater than his own could potentially break his Light Shield. Although it did not shatter completely this time, the situation indicated that if Gong Yu were to attack continuously, the Light Shield would indeed be shattered.
"Is this kid really just at the Intermediate Enhanced Gene Cultivation level?"
Xue Dong shed his underestimating mindset, his body explosively darted to the left, and at the same time, with a thought, he pointed at the spot where Gong Yu stood,
Boom,
A giant python’s tail, about thirty to forty meters long, burst through the air. Accompanied by the booming sound of thunder, it swept towards Gong Yu with a momentum somewhat reminiscent of Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void, though its power was much inferior.
This was Xue Dong’s Soul Skill.
Seeing the giant tail sweeping over, Xiao Lan, who was watching aside, became somewhat nervous and exclaimed involuntarily.
Beside her, Lan Xin laughed:
"Why so nervous? Gong Yu isn’t a sitting duck waiting to be hit, is he?"
Gong Yu let out a long howl and leapt more than twenty meters into the sky. Mid-air, he pointed again at Xue Dong, and a beam as bright as a laser, piercing through the void, reached Xue Dong in an instant.
This time, Gong Yu used the Duoluo Leaf Finger.
Xue Dong, startled, defended with his Light Shield while quickly dodging to the right.
Gong Yu sneered, using his Shaolin Light Skill to constantly shift positions, instantaneously changing places five times, and employed Chengjing Finger, Mo Ke Finger, Anxiety Relieving Finger, Wu Xiang Ruin Finger, and Great Wisdom Indeterminate Finger – five different finger techniques.
For a moment, the sky was filled with intense killing aura, like laser beams shooting towards Xue Dong.
Although Xue Dong was fast, Gong Yu, boosted by the Shaolin Light Skill, was even faster. Several lethal streams of killing aura continually bombarded in front of Xue Dong, forcing him to dodge while defending with his Light Shield.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
The Light Shield was continuously struck and cracks started appearing on it,
Finally, with a bang,
The entire Light Shield shattered.
Xue Dong cry out wildly, his body surged into the sky, transforming into a giant python over thirty meters long, with a huge mouth spraying out a dense, intense red flame towards Gong Yu.
Yang Xiao was shocked; Xue Dong’s Beast Soul turned out to be a giant python.
Immediately, the temperature around the entire plaza rose, and rolling heat waves began to spread.
The flame sprayed out by the python covered a very wide area, capable of instantly covering hundreds of square meters on the ground.
"Hahaha, I’ll burn you to death!"
Xue Dong, transformed into a fiery giant python, laughed wildly, knowing that if he could evolve to the King Level, his Beast Soul would upgrade to a Flood Dragon status, becoming even more powerful.
Amidst the flames, Gong Yu kept leaping and dodging, but every time he moved away, the python’s head just had to slightly turn, and the intense flames would immediately block his path.
After several attempts, Gong Yu could not escape the blockade of Xue Dong’s flames using his light skill, creating a suddenly perilous situation.
Gong Yu felt himself amidst the heat waves, and his eyebrows and hair began to curl somewhat.
Xue Dong’s subordinates began to make a loud ruckus.
"Boss, burn him to death, burn him to death!"
"Boss, if you don’t show your power, do you think we are just sick cats?"
"Do you still dare to be arrogant? With a tiny bit of ability, you dare to challenge our boss, that’s really overestimating yourselves, seeking death!"
...
At this moment, they completely forgot that Gong Yu only has an Intermediate Enhanced Gene Cultivation, a whole level below Xue Dong’s High-Level Enhanced Gene Cultivation.
The giant python is about thirty to forty meters long, with its body raised about twenty meters high, creating a suppressive aura over Gong Yu from above.
Currently, Gong Yu’s light skill allows him to jump just about twenty meters, exactly within the height of the python’s fire suppression. Therefore, every time Gong Yu tries to leap to attack the python, just a lift of its head sends a vast wave of fierce flames that almost seem to burn the air itself.
Gong Yu can’t even deploy his attacks on time, a slight delay in dodging could turn him into ashes from the blazing flames.
The situation is extremely perilous; Xiao Lan, holding a longsword, has sweaty palms and can’t wait to rush out and help Gong Yu.
Lan Xin said in a low voice:
"Don’t panic, Gong Yu hasn’t shown signs of defeat yet, he is looking for a chance to attack. Besides, even if you rush out, you’re no match for Xue Dong. You would only disrupt Gong Yu. Yang Xiao is here to support; why so anxious? Are you that worried about your lover? Hee hee!"
Xiao Lan’s face turned red, and she retorted:
"Sister, you’re still in the mood to joke, I’m so worried here, and you mock me. If it were Yang Xiao in this situation, wouldn’t you be worried? You might have already rushed out."
Lan Xin’s face flushed as well, she glared at Xiao Lan and said:
"You little girl, learning to talk back now?"
Xiao Lan stuck her tongue out at Lan Xin.
At this moment, the battle became even more intense and precarious. Gong Yu leaped and dodged within the flames, like a lone boat in the middle of stormy seas, extraordinarily dangerous; spectators on both sides exclaimed continuously.
Yang Xiao’s palms were sweaty too. Had he known Xue Dong had this move up his sleeve, he wouldn’t have let Gong Yu step up. Now that Gong Yu was in a difficult situation, he couldn’t rashly jump in to help.
Monk Ben Yin glanced at Yang Xiao and said:
"Don’t panic, I see Gong Yu still has some strength left."
Yang Xiao, startled, looked at Ben Yin,
"Why do you say that?"
Ben Yin smiled and responded:
"Although you have practiced Shaolin Ancient Martial Arts, you know relatively little. From my understanding of Shaolin Ancient Martial Arts, Gong Yu not only mastered nine finger skills but also deeply cultivated the Shaolin temple movement techniques. In his movement, there is not only the Shaolin Temple’s Dragonfly Water Jumping Skill but also the Great Body Shifting Skill."
"Great Body Shifting Skill?"
Yang Xiao was surprised. He had studied the Great Body Shifting Skill of Shaolin Temple himself, but his mastery was shallow, and the effects were not particularly pronounced, so he preferred the lighter, more elegant skills of the Shenming Mountain Sect.
Ben Yin nodded and continued:
"If he had only cultivated the Shaolin Light Skill Ascending Technique, he would have been burned to death by Xue Dong’s sea of flames by now, but every time Gong Yu is about to be burnt by the flames, his figure instantly moves several meters away, avoiding the blazing attacks in time. Moreover, from what I observe, his Great Body Shifting Skill is quite well-developed; he still has some reservations, it seems like he’s waiting for an opportunity to attack."
After hearing this, Yang Xiao observed more carefully and saw it was just as Monk Ben Yin described. Whenever the python’s flames rolled towards Gong Yu, about to engulf him, Gong Yu’s body indeed instantly moved several meters away, timely avoiding the flames.
"Damn, this kid’s Great Body Shifting Skill is much better than mine!"
Only then did Yang Xiao calm down to watch the battle, while also preparing to jump in to help Gong Yu if he were in danger.
