Chapter 1098 798: Pioneering the Unconscious Combat Style
"Protect Mirel well; if anything happens to her, I'll hold you accountable!"
Li Zheng dropped these words, picked up the Black Dragon Spear, channeled his spiritual power to the extreme, and set up a barrier around the three of them to ensure that Mirel and the others would not be affected by the environment during the upcoming battle.
"I will protect the mistress with my life, and if anything goes wrong, I am at your disposal, Lord!" Mudala stood respectfully in front of Mirel.
Li Zheng nodded. The twisted creatures had already surrounded them, barely a hundred meters away.
Dense eyes stared at them from all directions, filled with malice.
"Roar!"
A twisted creature opened its mouth wide and roared, its cavernous mouth extended a long tongue, covered with tiny eyeballs on its surface and inside its mouth.
"What are you calling, your mom?" Li Zheng snorted coldly. The Black Dragon Spear trembled in his hand, and eight more images of him appeared nearby.
Then, Li Zheng switched between the nine images at the fastest speed, creating the illusion that all nine of him moved simultaneously.
He integrated the newly understood step technique into the Mirror Image Ability, and as his movement speed increased, he charged towards the twisted creatures.
As he approached, the Black Dragon Spear was swung fully, and with each step, it initiated an attack in rhythm.
Whether it was the step technique or the spear technique, Li Zheng adhered to the original idea—do as he pleased.
Each attack had no clear target; he hit whatever he hit.
The Black Dragon Spear, crafted by the chief disciple of the master blacksmith, not only utilized rare materials but also featured intricate Golden Dragon motifs as high-level forging craftsmanship.
With the sharpness of the Black Dragon Spear, breaking through the defenses of these near-Purple Level twisted creatures was not a problem at all.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The nine figures of Li Zheng almost formed a circle of afterimages, and the sound of all the attacks hitting the twisted creatures blended together, as numerous small eyes were pierced by the Black Dragon Spear, gushing dirty blood from the eye sockets.
Li Zheng's mind was clear, not thinking of anything, letting his body do everything on its own.
At this moment, all the combat skills and genetic abilities he learned since waking from the Matrix were executed with exceptional ease and proficiency.
The Black Dragon Spear was thrust, enveloped by boundless cold, instantly condensing the ice crystals in the air and transforming them into fine, transparent ice needles using shaping ability.
Countless invisible ice needles accompanied his attacks, hitting the eyes of those twisted creatures, shattering an eyeball with each needle, and in an instant, a twisted creature's densely packed eyeballs were entirely shattered, with the wounds erupting dirty blood like a hot water bag pierced with a needle board.
In a blink, he switched to another mirror image, the cold dissipated completely as if it never existed, replaced by bright yellow flames.
The high-temperature flames wrapped around the surface of the Black Dragon Spear, radiating heat.
A sweep of the spear across a twisted creature spread the flame upward, adhering like maggots gnawing on bones.
The twisted creature's skin seemed to hide oil tanks, the fire grew fiercer, yet without a sense of pain, it moved its limbs to attack Li Zheng.
However, they were destined to be in vain because Li Zheng shifted to the next mirror image, with cold replacing the flames on the Black Dragon Spear.
The flames left on the twisted creatures' surface remained unaffected, sizzling fiercely.
A strong burnt stench floated in the vicinity, nauseating to smell.
Suddenly.
"Snap!"
Li Zheng snapped his fingers, and the twisted creature turned into a fireball, exploded with a thunderous sound, and the flame mixed with the foul stench of blood and flesh erupted like a flood, splattering in all directions.
The flaming flesh landed on other twisted creatures, quickly igniting them as well.
Then another "snap!", and those twisted creatures were also blown apart, bodies tearing into pieces from the explosion points.
Some exploded twisted creatures weren't yet dead, stubbornly writhing towards Li Zheng.
In comparison, Li Zheng's learned Ice Ability was more comprehensive, while his Fire Ability consisted of only a Fire Attachment and Flame Burst.
However, the destructive power and terrifying scene caused by it surpassed the Ice Ability.
Li Zheng was oblivious to everything he caused, acting purely on instinct, pushing all combat abilities to the extreme, faster, more accurate, and more powerful.
Even if he consciously controlled it, he couldn't reach such a level.
A few drops of corrupt blood fell on him, eroding the Black Dragon Armor into a dilapidated state.
This armor meticulously crafted by Li Chun, which had accompanied Li Zheng for several months, finally couldn't withstand it, showing damage.
The corrupt blood dissolved the Black Dragon Armor but was blocked by the combat suit from the treasure chest underneath.
That combat suit, although appeared unremarkable, and even easily cut by Li Zheng previously, showed powerful resistance against this highly corrosive corrupt blood!
A wounded twisted creature broke through Li Zheng's defense; after all, at this moment, Li Zheng was fighting unconsciously, not comprehensively attentive, although instinctively filling the gap, the twisted creature still charged towards Mudala and Mirel.
"Mistress, be careful!"
Mudala took the initiative to engage, clawing the twisted creature until its blood and flesh flew, the corrupt blood landing on her skin, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
Her skin, originally grayish-white, turned whiter, as if bleached for years, and showed signs of fragility, with wrinkles appearing, seemingly tearable with force.
But ultimately, it blocked the corrosion of the corrupt blood; only her scant clothing couldn't withstand it, being corroded with numerous holes, exposing her exaggerated figure more and more.
The twisted creatures had extremely tenacious life force, even with most of the body destroyed, they could still move.
If their hands were intact, they would grab the fallen flesh and stuff it into their mouths, devouring it madly.
Some twisted creatures exploded by Li Zheng in half, trailing intestines on the ground, swallowing flesh, yet unaware as it fell out along the entrails.
The creature Mudala fought against was missing half its body; that half was pierced through by Li Zheng's cold ice needles, destroying all its eyes, seemingly indicating that those eyes were the core of their survival.
With all the eyes on half of its body destroyed, that part lost control.
Mudala sharply noticed this point, instantly switching her combat style from a wide-open, bloody carnage to a more precise operation, specifically targeting those tiny eyes for attack.
Seeing that she couldn't take it down after a long battle, with her clothes nearly corroded completely, Mirel took out the long whip she carried and swung it, creating a sky full of whip shadows.
Mudala shouted: "Aim for their eyes; that's their vital weak point!"
Mirel immediately grasped, shaking her wrist, changing the whip shadows, and thrusting with the tip of the long whip.
Mudala felt a sense of astonishment while fighting: "It's this difficult to handle just one twisted creature, yet the lord can hold back nearly a thousand alone?"
She was uncertain in her heart.
If the lord was so strong, why was he beaten so miserably by three Fire Ape Race members not long ago?
Is he holding back?
Why would the lord hold back?
Mudala could only think of one possibility, which was that the lord was still guarding against her.
Otherwise, could he have possibly comprehended a new technique in just the few hours just now?
"Don't get distracted."
Mirel's clear voice brought Mudala's thoughts back.
At this moment, a magnificent blaze suddenly illuminated around.
Followed by a deafening explosion!
