Star Martial Soaring Cloud

Chapter 71 The Greatest Crisis

The golden beam of light struck the ice shield, melting some of the ice, but it was unable to completely break through the defense.

A moment later, the golden light gradually dimmed, and Wang Xiao's figure reappeared. His face was as pale as paper, a lot of blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, his breath was very weak, and his vital energy was almost completely exhausted.

The move of transforming himself into Yang was already extremely taxing on him, not to mention that he failed to break through Lin Shisan's defenses and was instead severely injured by the opponent's cold energy.

Although Lin Shisan was also thrown back several steps by the shockwave, his aura remained strong, and the Frost Sword in his hand still exuded a bone-chilling cold.

He gave Wang Xiao no chance to catch his breath. With a swift movement, he charged at Wang Xiao again, faster than before. He wielded the Frost Sword with even greater ferocity, and the white sword light once again enveloped Wang Xiao, each move deadly.

Clearly, they intended to take advantage of Wang Xiao's weakened state and kill him in one fell swoop.

Wang Xiao is now in dire straits.

His vital energy was exhausted, his body was severely injured, and his movements became sluggish. Fortunately, he still had the Seven Star Rain Steps to rely on, which always allowed him to find a glimmer of hope in the cracks.

Faced with Lin Shisan's fierce attack, he could only barely raise the Seven Star Sword to defend himself. Each time he defended, his arm would go numb from the force of Lin Shisan's attack, and his wounds would become more and more serious, with blood gushing out and staining his clothes red.

He was completely outmatched and was being relentlessly attacked by Lin Shisan. Every step he took was on the edge of life and death, and he would be killed by a single sword strike if he was not careful.

"Give up the fight!" Lin Shisan sneered as he attacked. "I can give you a quick death! Otherwise, I'll make you suffer endless torment and die slowly in agony!"

Wang Xiao gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain and exhaustion, and still did not give up.

He knew he couldn't die; he still had unfinished business, and he had to live!

"Feels good?" Wang Xiao sneered, his voice hoarse yet filled with unyielding stubbornness. "Lin Shisan, you dare to challenge me? You think killing Feng Rujing and absorbing his power will make you a chosen one? You're wrong! You'll never be as good as Feng Rujing, you'll always be just a piece of trash living in jealousy and resentment!"

"You're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shisan was instantly enraged, and the killing intent and madness in his eyes intensified.

He suddenly increased the force in his hand, the Frost Sword carrying earth-shattering power, thrusting fiercely towards Wang Xiao's chest, his tone filled with ruthlessness: "Since you're so ungrateful, then don't blame me for being impolite! I'll tear you to pieces with my own hands!"

Wang Xiao felt a chill and instinctively dodged to the side, but she was still a step too slow.

The tip of the Frost Sword grazed his chest, leaving a deep wound. The biting cold seeped into his body through the wound, instantly stiffening his body and making his blood circulation increasingly sluggish.

He staggered back a few steps and crashed heavily into an ancient tree, which shook violently and scattered leaves.

He leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily. His face was as pale as paper, and he had almost no vital energy left. His physical injuries were getting worse and worse, and every movement brought excruciating pain.

But his gaze remained unwavering, cold and resolute, fixed on Lin Shisan as if trying to etch his image into his very bones.

Just then, Wang Xiao's gaze shifted slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes—he had noticed Lin Shisan's weakness!

Although Lin Shisan absorbed Feng Rujing's power and broke through the shackles of the Fish Leap Realm, gaining twice the strength, his body simply could not withstand this power, which far exceeded his own limits, for long.

His aura appeared stable, but in reality it was quite agitated, and his vital energy circulation was somewhat chaotic. Especially after launching a series of fierce attacks, his aura began to show signs of decline, and his face was even paler than before.

Clearly, this forcibly obtained power placed a tremendous burden on his body.

Although he can exert twice the strength, he cannot maintain this state for long. Once his vital energy is depleted, his body will show signs of collapse, and his strength will drop instantly, even weaker than before.

Wang Xiao's lips slowly curled into a cold, mocking smile as he looked at Lin Shisan and said, "Lin Shisan, don't be too smug! You think you can kill me with this forcibly acquired power? You're wrong! I'd like to ask you, how long can you last in this state?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shisan froze abruptly, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes, which was quickly replaced by intense killing intent and madness.

He knew that Wang Xiao was right; his body really couldn't withstand twice the force for an extended period of time.

"Shut up!" Lin Shisan shouted sharply, his tone full of rage and ruthlessness. "What do you know! In my current state, I can hold out until I kill you! Today, I'm going to kill you, and no one can stop me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shisan charged towards Wang Xiao again, wielding the Frost Sword in his hand with even more frenzy and ferocity.

He wanted to kill Wang Xiao as soon as possible and completely resolve this problem before his power diminished.

The more impatient he became, the more chaotic his moves became, the faster his energy was consumed, and the more agitated he became.

Wang Xiao is facing the biggest crisis since arriving on the island: his vital energy is exhausted, his body is severely injured, and his movements are slow. He could be killed by Lin Shisan's sword at any moment.

But he did not give up. With his indomitable will and years of combat experience, he fought back tenaciously, dodging attacks while secretly recovering his strength and looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

He used every means at his disposal, bringing his knowledge to its fullest potential.

Faced with an unavoidable attack, he channeled the last wisp of vital energy within his body and once again erected an invisible water curtain.

However, faced with Lin Shisan's fierce attacks, the invisible water curtain was utterly vulnerable. It only lasted for a moment before being pierced by the Frost Sword and shattered with a crash.

The moment the water curtain shattered, a violent chill and power swept towards Wang Xiaoxi. He was once again forced back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and several more wounds appeared on his body, making his injuries increasingly severe.

Wang Xiao consistently fought with a do-or-die style, doing everything in his power to defend against attacks. When he couldn't withstand them, he would use less fatal parts of his body to take the hits.

His arms, abdomen, and thighs were already covered in wounds, and his once invincible body was gradually unable to withstand the attack from Lin Shisan, which was twice as strong.

Each wound was deep enough to expose the bone. The biting cold seeped into his body, causing his muscles to stiffen and making him weak even when he lifted his arm.

But he still didn't give up. He used the Seven Star Rain Step with all his might. Although his speed was much slower than before, he was still able to barely dodge the fatal blow.

He kept shifting the battlefield, moving from the open space in the valley to the dense forests on both sides, trying to use the terrain of the forests to avoid attacks and buy time.
