Seeing this, Void Spirit furrowed his brow and leaped straight toward Yao Long, who released the arrows in his hand at that very moment.
Three blue and white arrows shot forth like slender dragons, fierce and extraordinarily swift. At that moment, I could clearly feel that Void Spirit had no strength left to block these three arrows; even stopping just one would likely result in injury.
Yet, despite this, Void Spirit charged toward the glowing arrowheads. I shouted in my mind, "Void Spirit, dodge! Don't force it!"
Void Spirit paid no heed to my words, as if he had already devised a plan of his own.
As the arrows approached, one arrowhead was mere inches from my eye when Void Spirit suddenly tilted his head. Seizing the moment, he used the Crimson Spirit Sword to deflect the arrow's edge and struck the shaft instead.
In an instant, one arrow was dodged by Void Spirit while two were neutralized. This series of actions required not only quick reflexes but also precise timing down to the millisecond; any miscalculation could leave my body shattered.
Just as I prepared to observe why Void Spirit had taken such a risky action, I saw him leap in front of Yao Long after neutralizing the attack, lifting Jiang Ling and using his downward momentum to smash the hilt toward Yao Long's head, hoping to knock him unconscious.
However, Yao Long had already anticipated this move. Before the hilt could even touch him, he raised a leg and kicked my knees from the side.
This blow made it difficult for Void Spirit to maintain control over my body; we lost balance and began to topple over.
At the same time, Yao Long did not relent but raised his right hand and swung a fist down toward me as I fell...
Yao Long's punch was swift as wind, enveloped in azure flames. It was clear he showed no mercy and seemed intent on delivering a fatal blow.
But upon seeing Yao Long's punch, Void Spirit remained calm and even smirked, quickly saying, "Just in time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Void Spirit controlled my body to grab Yao Long's heavy punch aimed at my face with his free left hand. He then exerted force and pulled up my falling body using Yao Long's arm.
Once upright, Void Spirit took advantage of Yao Long's momentary surprise to sidestep behind him, grabbing his right hand and twisting it behind his back while forcefully bending him over.
This series of attacks and counterattacks by Void Spirit happened in an instant. I was left stunned within my own body. If it had been me acting alone, I would have likely been severely injured by Yao Long's arrows long ago.
“Hey, Shen Xu, learn from this. This is what it means to win with weakness…” Void Spirit was about to show off to me when suddenly a sharp crack echoed from Yao Long's arm.
Void Spirit was startled and quickly released his grip on Yao Long, retreating a few steps while whispering, “Pusa has controlled your friend and broken his arm! It seems we can’t subdue him anymore; we can only kill him as Pusa suggested…”
Before Void Spirit could finish, I immediately interrupted him from within, “No, that’s impossible!”
Void Spirit ignored me and concentrated his power, seemingly sensing something. He continued, “Or… we could kill Pusa!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the power that had been concentrated at the center of Void Spirit's body suddenly surged and flowed into Jiang Ling through his hands.
Due to the previous consumption of energy, the power Yao Long had granted me was nearly depleted. Even after being infused into Jiang Ling, it failed to activate the sword's power; the blade merely glowed faintly red. A slender and delicate You Long flickered around the hilt, appearing as if it could vanish at any moment, looking extremely weak.
“With such little power, even if Pusa has no combat ability, it won't be so easy to eliminate him…” I questioned doubtfully.
Void Spirit remained silent. At that moment, I couldn’t even sense what he was thinking. Was he worried that Pusa might read his thoughts again?
I glanced at Yao Long, who was only a few steps away from us. His right hand hung limply at his side due to the broken bone, seemingly unable to draw the bowstring anymore.
“Regardless, at least your friend can’t attack us with his Black Soldier now,” Void Spirit said quietly.
Just as Void Spirit mentioned, Yao Long did not attempt to use Azure Spirit again; instead, he tossed it aside. With the release of Azure Spirit, the power infused within it gradually dissipated, causing Yao Long to lose a significant amount of strength.
Yet even so, the blue flames surrounding him showed no signs of weakening. It seemed that Pusa had used some special method to infuse Yao Long with a soul, granting him an inexhaustible source of power.
Lost in thought, I watched as Yao Long discarded Azure Spirit and opted for close combat instead. He charged towards me at full speed.
Seeing this, Void Spirit did not intend to confront him head-on but instead skillfully evaded each of Yao Long's attacks as they came. Just like he had deflected those three arrows earlier, he sidestepped and neutralized Yao Long’s strikes one by one while cleverly managing his own energy expenditure to minimize his losses.
Observing Void Spirit’s every move made me think, “It seems there’s a reason for Void Spirit’s arrogance in the past. His combat experience and practical skills are hundreds of times better than mine. If it were me in this situation, I would have already gathered all my strength for a desperate strike.”
As I thought about this, I suddenly realized that Void Spirit, while dismantling Yao Long's attack, seemed to be consciously retreating slowly in a certain direction into the darkness, displaying a nonchalant demeanor. He muttered to himself, "If you think you can defeat me and extract me from this body just like that, isn't that a bit too childish? What about you, Pusa?"
It turned out that Void Spirit's behavior and words were intended to provoke Pusa. I couldn't tell whether he was trying to force Pusa to reveal herself or had some other plan in mind.
At that moment, I suddenly heard Pusa's ethereal voice once again: "As expected of the God King. I know this won't defeat you, but I won't fall for your tricks..."
Upon hearing Pusa's words, Void Spirit paused slightly, seemingly surprised that his scheme had been seen through. Although this pause lasted less than half a second, it was just enough time for Yao Long to seize the opportunity and deliver a punch to my chest.
Even I could clearly feel a wave of heaviness in my chest.
After landing the blow, Yao Long did not withdraw his hand to prepare for another strike; instead, he suddenly channeled power into his fist pressed against my chest.
With the rapid influx of energy, his fist erupted with a dazzling blue light, and at the same time, my chest felt an intense burning sensation...
