"Why aren't you dead yet?"
Before making his move, Zhai Xiuzhi couldn't help but ask the question that was on his mind.
"Put down the axe and I'll tell you."
Ye Lin looked at the axe in Zhai Xiuzhi's hand and showed a look of fear.
"Never mind, you don't have to say it. I'll find out the answer myself!"
Zhai Xiuzhi tightened his grip on the battle axe. During battle, he would never let go of his weapon, just as a bull warrior would never take off his mask.
Seeing this, Ye Lin frowned. He had intended to trick Zhai Xiuzhi into putting down the axe so he could launch a surprise attack, but it didn't work out as he had planned.
Zhai Xiuzhi swung the battle axe and charged towards Ye Lin. With each step, the ground beneath him trembled.
Ye Lin's expression was extremely serious. Facing Zhai Xiuzhi, he dared not be the least bit careless.
"Forbidden Spell? Burning Reincarnation!"
"Forbidden Spell? Dance of the Moment!"
He cast two forbidden spells in succession, instantly bringing his state to its peak.
"Humph! Burning your own life force to gain combat power. How long can you hold out?"
Zhai Xiuzhi sneered at Ye Lin's actions and swung the battle axe towards him.
Ye Lin raised the Starfall Heaven Scar and collided it with Zhai Xiuzhi's battle axe, but was pushed back continuously and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Lin's expression was extremely grave. A 42nd-level transfigured warrior was indeed extraordinary. Even with the 99-layered Yangshou Blade Technique combined with Burning Reincarnation and Dance of the Moment, he still couldn't match Zhai Xiuzhi.
But his advantage was that he couldn't be killed!
Although he was pushed back by Zhai Xiuzhi's axe, Ye Lin immediately acted as if nothing had happened and charged forward with the Starfall Heaven Scar.
Little did he know that Zhai Xiuzhi was also shocked at this moment. Ye Lin looked so young, just a teenager, yet he could actually block his full force strike?
Zhai Xiuzhi didn't dare to be careless either. A dazzling light burst from the battle axe, and then with a force even more terrifying than before, he swung the axe towards the charging Ye Lin.
Ye Lin raised his blade to block, but even the blade was knocked away. The battle axe continued its momentum, smashing Ye Lin's Starfall Heaven Scar and then slamming into his shoulder.
Crack!
A bone-chilling sound of bones breaking echoed out. It was the sound of Ye Lin's shoulder and collarbone breaking under Zhai Xiuzhi's attack.
Ye Lin spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out like a cannonball, crashing into the wall not far away.
But just as Zhai Xiuzhi was about to deliver the finishing blow, Ye Lin suddenly leaped up. With his left hand, he launched a terrifying purple-red flame, and with his right hand, he pointed towards the sky, summoning lightning.
"Forbidden Spell? Hellfire Scorching the Heavens!"
"Forbidden Spell? World-Ending Thunderbolt!"
This time, Ye Lin sacrificed everything he could to summon the legendary Chaos Thunderbolt!
Forbidden spells were not omnipotent. No matter how powerful a forbidden spell was, the caster's own strength had to be strong enough.
Ye Lin's actual level was only 16. If it were ordinary lightning, it would be difficult to cause significant damage to Zhai Xiuzhi.A huge fireball of purple-red purgatorial fire was hurtling towards Zhai Xiuzhi. Zhai Xiuzhi's eyes narrowed as he realized the complexity of the flames before him. Not wanting to be tainted, he swung his battleaxe through the air, as if splitting the heavens!
"Sunfall Holy Axe!"
The battleaxe shone brightly and slashed down fiercely. The purgatorial fireball was split in two before it could reach Zhai Xiuzhi, causing no harm to him at all.
But in the next second, the entire night sky seemed to tear apart, leaving only a chaotic lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, with a constantly changing color, sometimes deep purple, sometimes wild red, as if it contained all colors and yet transcended them all.
The thunder was deafening, as if the entire world was trembling.
Zhai Xiuzhi's pupils constricted. He felt an unprecedented crisis. He swung his battleaxe with all his might, attempting to block the divine lightning, but the lightning, as if it had a will of its own, bypassed his battleaxe and struck him directly.
Zhai Xiuzhi felt an unprecedented force instantly pierce through his entire body, as if it was going to tear him apart.
"Ah!"
His battleaxe flew out of his hand, and he fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He never expected that such a young lad could make him look so disheveled!
Ye Lin gave him no chance to catch his breath. He picked up the Starfall Heaven Scar and in a flash, was in front of Zhai Xiuzhi, swinging the Starfall Heaven Scar down with all his might, aiming to take Zhai Xiuzhi's life directly!
Just as Ye Lin thought he was about to succeed, Zhai Xiuzhi suddenly raised his arms to block the attack in front of him, successfully intercepting the strike.
"Bang!"
The force of Ye Lin's strike was absorbed by Zhai Xiuzhi's arms, causing his entire arm to go numb.
Ye Lin stared at Zhai Xiuzhi in shock. The black battle armor on the other's body was now emitting a faint black light, as if a mysterious force was protecting him.
"This is..." Ye Lin's pupils constricted. He suddenly remembered something. "A refined rare-level equipment?"
Zhai Xiuzhi coldly looked at him, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"Exactly! This Divine Light Black Armor has been with me for a long time and I refined it to seven stars! Its defense has already reached an astonishing level. Your attacks only made me look a bit disheveled but couldn't cause me any fatal damage!"
A hint of killing intent appeared in Zhai Xiuzhi's eyes. Then he raised his hand and the battleaxe that had flown away returned to his hand. He swung it with force, directly slicing Ye Lin open, his internal organs scattering all over the ground.
Ye Lin retreated continuously, blood gushing from his mouth. He knew he was in real trouble this time. Equipment could be refined, and through refinement, its attributes could be continuously enhanced. Each successful refinement would add a star, with the maximum being nine stars.
A rare-level equipment refined to seven stars could even rival an epic-level equipment!
No wonder his chaotic divine lightning strike didn't cause any damage to Zhai Xiuzhi.
If he couldn't break through Zhai Xiuzhi's Divine Light Black Armor, he wouldn't be able to defeat him at all. The two of them could only keep fighting like this, one unable to kill, the other unable to be defeated.
"What kind of monster are you! How can you still be alive after this?" Zhai Xiuzhi was shocked. He had seen Ye Lin's internal organs spill out until only 2.5 organs and 3 viscera remained, yet Ye Lin was still lively and kicking. This was completely against the norm!
"Don't talk for now! Let me think!"
Ye Lin ignored his injuries and lowered his head, deep in thought about the forbidden spells he knew to see if there was one that could break the deadlock.
Soon, his eyes lit up because among the forbidden spells he knew, there was indeed one specifically designed to break through high defense. "Divine Light Black Armor, a rare item refined to seven stars? I'll give it a try and see how tough it is!"
"Prohibited Spell: Eternal Jinyang Metal!" ?
