Chapter 1873 Desperate Situation Erupts, Iron Hook Chain Shadow

Asking for recommendation votes
……

A chilling, deathly aura enveloped Gu Zijian!
As he watched the dark green spider silk hurtling through the air, Gu Zijian's eyes instantly became bloodshot, and a fierce, stubborn temper, originating from the depths of his bloodline and driven to the brink of despair, suddenly erupted!

"Fight!"

He growled, his gaze sweeping over the scattered debris before locking onto his target—a meat hook that had once held a whole pig, complete with a heavy iron hook and a thick, long chain.

He suddenly bent down and grabbed the cold iron chain, using the heavy iron hook as the head of a meteor hammer.

Just as the spider silk was about to reach his body, Gu Zijian took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling at a strange and steady frequency, his muscles bulging, and his veins bulging like dragons.

"Rock Type III: Rock Body Skin!"

He gave a low shout, his feet firmly planted on the ground like the roots of an old tree. Using his body as the axis, he poured all his strength and will into his arms and swung the heavy iron hooks and chains.

That's right, Gu Zijian is using the Rock Breathing Technique!
Don't forget, this breathing technique is a pure physical skill that can be activated without soul power. Of course, if soul power is added, its power will be multiplied.

From a young age, Gu Zijian devoted almost all his energy to honing this breathing technique, aside from practicing a few family martial arts skills.

Of all his skills, his breathing technique is the most powerful and is his true trump card.

In Chenlin Village, this breathing technique had long been the last lifeline for those villagers who also lacked soul power, giving them a little more strength to protect themselves in the chaotic world.

According to the assessment of the Chen family's senior management, as long as they persevere in their training, they can reach the level of Soul Venerable or Soul Sect Master in their prime. If they awaken their markings, they can even compete with Soul King.

Isn't this another kind of combat class, or a system that can be combined with other combat professions? Those without martial arts skills in Chenlin Village can become dual combat classes.

Breathing techniques were originally a system used to supplement the combat power of Soul Masters. By awakening markings and the Divine Body, they can ascend upwards, and by benefiting all beings with their uniqueness of not requiring Soul Power, their strategic value is multiplied.

Therefore, the Chen family has a legal decree that allows anyone who has not yet awakened martial power to receive a breathing technique to practice (excluding the Sun and Moon techniques).

……

For his son's safety, Gu Yuanchao urged him to practice the Rock Breathing Technique day after day.

Now, all that hard work has finally come in handy!

The technique Gu Zijian used to throw the twin swords just now was "Type One: Serpentine Rock: Double Pole".

The iron hooks, accompanied by a dull whistling sound, traced one massive, impenetrable arc after another around him.

woohoo-

The heavy iron hooks, rotating at high speed, formed a solid defensive barrier.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Several crisp yet piercing metallic clangs rang out!
Those sharp spider silk threads, enough to pierce through rock, were actually knocked away and bounced off by the heavy iron hook, which was driven purely by physical strength and breathing techniques.

For the first time, obvious astonishment appeared in Qingluo's eyes!
A boy with no soul power whatsoever, relying solely on his flesh and blood and a rudimentary weapon, actually managed to block her attack?!
The power, speed, and rock-solid, resilient aura that burst forth in that instant were far beyond ordinary martial arts techniques!

"Interesting insect!" Qingluo's astonishment turned into a deeper chill; she had no time to linger here.

"Second Soul Skill - Crescent Moon!"

With a sharp whistle, a phantom image of a spider spear flashed behind her, and a condensed crescent-shaped dark green light blade with metallic gleaming edges suddenly slashed out. The shrill sound that tore through the air was painful to the eardrums, and with a sharpness far exceeding that of the previous strikes, it ruthlessly slashed towards Gu Zijian, who was wielding the iron chain.

Faced with this Soul Emperor-level Soul Skill attack, Gu Zijian felt unprecedented pressure, as if all the air in the space had been sucked away.

But the bloodshot in his eyes was even more pronounced!
"Rhyolite of Four Types: Quick Acquisition!"

He roared again, pushing the rhythm of the Rock Breathing Technique to its limit. It was no longer just a simple defense, but a combination of offense and defense!
His steps shifted and changed, steady as a mountain moving, his hands swinging the chains alternately. The heavy iron hooks were no longer swung in wide circles; the chains were taut like spears, weaving a dense and heavy storm of chain shadows in front of him.

boom! ! !
The dark green light blade crashed into the chain shadow storm, and the blinding light exploded with a huge energy shockwave.

Gu Zijian felt an irresistible force slam into his body along the chains!

Pfft! A sweet taste rose in his throat, and blood uncontrollably spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He felt as if he had been struck by a charging beast. The heavy iron hook chain flew out of his hand, and his body flew backward uncontrollably for several meters before crashing heavily to the ground. His bones felt like they were about to shatter, and his vision blurred.

Qingluo's eyes were icy cold. Her soul rings lit up again, and she made a sweeping motion with her hands in front of her. Instantly, a huge spider web, woven from countless black spider silks and exuding an abyss-like devouring aura, took shape!
"Abyssal Soul Spider Web!"

The giant net, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, descended upon Gu Zijian, who was lying on the ground, powerless to resist.

Once caught in the net, you will be captured instantly!
"Zijian!!!"

Gu Yuanchao's roar was hoarse. He was still dozens of meters away. Although the spiders along the way were knocked away, it was too late.

Xin Shouyi, Mai Zheling, and the others were terrified as they watched the giant net fall.

At this critical moment!
A streak of azure light shot out from the side door of the kitchen courtyard at incredible speed, leaving a blinding afterimage in the air.

Dust Shepherd is the fastest among the new generation!

"Third Soul Skill - Nine Plum Blossoms!"

With a clear shout, the Seven Kill Sword in Chen Mu's hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The sword light appeared like a startled swan and instantly split into nine, then into eighty-one.

Eighty-one sharp and incomparable blue sword beams, like plum blossoms suddenly blooming in the cold, struck the giant black net that was about to fall with perfect precision!

Chichi, chichi, chichi——!
A dense, rain-like cutting sound rang out. The incredibly tough Abyss Spider Web, imbued with the Soul Emperor's Soul Power, was instantly cleaved into countless black fragments before Chen Mu's third Soul Skill, renowned for its speed and armor-piercing power.

"Fifth Young Master!" Gu Zijian looked at the blue figure blocking his way, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. He gasped for breath, his whole body covered in sweat.

Without pausing for a moment, Chen Mu withdrew his sword and transformed into a blue gust of wind, his Seven Kill Sword pointing directly at Qing Luo in front of him as he charged forward fiercely.

The sword tip gleamed coldly, exuding a chilling killing intent!
Qingluo reacted extremely quickly.

The moment the spider web was shattered, she understood the situation—this young swordsman Chen Mu, who had suddenly appeared, was a prodigy of level 32, with astonishing speed and fierce swordsmanship, and was by no means an easy opponent. In addition, Gu Yuanchao was about to arrive from behind, and she had completely lost the opportunity to capture Gu Zijian. She could not stay here any longer!

Without the slightest hesitation, and without even glancing at Chen Mu, Qingluo's spider spears pierced the roof of the shed, propelling her backward. At the same time, countless spider silks shot towards the complex and dark corners deep within the kitchen shed, where mountains of debris lay!

Chen Mu's sword light followed closely behind, piercing through the smoke and dust, but only managed to strike the afterimage left by Qing Luo and a few broken spider silk threads.

He pushed off with his feet, and another flash of blue light followed closely behind the dark green afterimage, disappearing into the darkness and chaos of the kitchen.
