1767 Lu Ou’s Frustrated Choice
Lin Yuan knocked into Liu Jie with so much force that Liu Jie started to stagger as well. Nonetheless, Liu Jie reached out to steady Lin Yuan’s shoulder so that Lin Yuan did not end up falling to the ground.
But no matter how quickly the dragonflies flew, the mass of black and red energy still reached the wall of ice first.
The mass of energy left a large hole in the wall of ice.
But before the energy dissipated, the nine dragonflies streaked past.
When the first dragonfly made contact with the ice, the ice started to crack and created spidery fissures.
After the first dragonfly used up all its energy, it absorbed energy from the ice and injected it into the second dragonfly.
Since the previous dragonfly would inject the energy it absorbed into the dragonfly that came after it, the dragonflies crashed into the ice with increasing power.
The fifth dragonfly broke through almost 50 meters of the ice wall’s thickness, revealing Qian Yu, the Cambria Abundant Fish, and the Deep Freeze King Eel that had been encased within.
According to the information about the Sword Skill, after the fifth dragonfly attacked the target, the latter dragonflies’ speed would increase.
The boosted final four dragonflies flew so quickly that they left ripples in the air.
All four attacks rammed into the Cambria Abundant Fish.
The specialty of the Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes was that it would cause nine layers of sequential damage.
The attack from the ninth dragonfly absorbed the energy used up by the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel for defense.
In the wake of the attacks from the nine dragonflies, the Myth II Cambria Abundant Fish was reduced to a pool of blood.
The ninth dragonfly had yet to dissipate, but its color had already dulled significantly.
It passed through the Cambria Abundant Fish’s body and headed toward the Deep Freeze King Eel.
Qian Yu was stunned when the Cambria Abundant Fish was killed.
He was clearly the strongest force present, and both his feys had reached pinnacle Myth II.
His defense should have been impenetrable. How had his defenses been broken?
It would have been easier to digest if his defenses had been broken by the mass of black and red energy as it had come from Lu Ou.
Qian Yu would only have needed to set up such a heavy defense if he was facing a Creation Breed fey.
Presently, there were too many question marks floating around Qian Yu’s mind.
The death of the Cambria Abundant Fish resulted in excruciating pain for Qian Yu’s spiritual energy.
The last dragonfly had so little energy that it could not cause much damage to the Deep Freeze King Eel. It had not even managed to pierce the Deep Freeze King Eel’s skin.
But at this moment, the mass of black and red energy also arrived.
Besides the first impact, the nine dragonflies continued paving the way.
As such, not much of the mass of black and red energy had been used up.
After Yan Ling died, Cai Huo and You Changjian’s team no longer had any value.
In order for the team to win the next round, Lu Ou had eaten the dead Yan Ling and Cai Huo, as well as the solely alive but useless You Changjian.
However, there was no way that Lu Ou could abandon Qian Yu.
Qian Yu’s secret weapon was the 7 Stars Diving Songstress that the Goddess of Mercy had given him. It had extremely overwhelming potential and was capable of turning the tables.
Moreover, the Diving Songstress had awakened the mermaid king bloodline.
If Qian Yu triggered the Diving Songstress’ mermaid king bloodline, its power would be raised significantly.
After struggling to consume the attacks from the Insect Queen and Genius, Lu Ou’s spiritual power was running dry.
Lu Ou was well aware that if he did not fully transform into the devil, there was very little left that he would be able to do.
Hence, Lu Ou intended to use the spiritual power he had left to trigger his sacred source lifeform and use it to protect Qian Yu.
Lu Ou pointed at Qian Yu, and a gold chain shot out from his finger, linking him to Qian Yu.
Soon, Lu Ou and Qian Yu’s figures turned blurry. It was as though they were going to disappear at any moment.
But soon, Lu Ou realized that his sacred source lifeform’s abilities were rendered useless.
After Gao Feng used the Yellow Spring Lily to save the Fiery Sky Hou, he had not done anything else.
Gao Feng had been waiting for Qian Yu and Lu Ou to summon their sacred source lifeforms so he would be able to use the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box’s Memory Magic Cut to seal off their abilities.
This was exactly what had just happened.
Lu Ou’s sacred source lifeform was 4 Stars, and the 6 Stars Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box sealed off the only two abilities that Lu Ou’s sacred source lifeform had, essentially rendering it useless.
This turn of events left Lu Ou with no choice but to use the Gorgon Teeth’s ability, Teeth’s Gift, to lend a large portion of his devil’s energy to Qian Yu.
At the same time, he used the Gorgon Clam’s ability Red Algae Flow to link himself and Qian Yu so he could transfer his vitality to Qian Yu.
His hope was that Qian Yu would be able to use his devil’s energy and his own vitality to tide through this attack.
Lu Ou had been the one who released the mass of black and red energy. As such, he was well aware of how strong it was.
He felt that as long as Qian Yu sacrificed the Deep Freeze King Eel, he would be able to make it through the attack.
Nonetheless, it would leave him grievously injured.
However, the seriousness of his injuries did not concern Lu Ou.
Lu Ou was only helping Qian Yu so he would stay alive long enough to summon the Diving Songstress and use its ability to win the battle.
After they won the battle, Lu Ou would not care less if Qian Yu lived or died.
Since Lu Ou’s sacred source lifeform had been locked down by the opponent and he was almost out of spiritual power, Lu Ou had no choice but to depend on Qian Yu.
Even if he fully fused with his higher devil, he did not have enough spiritual power in him to unleash more power than the 7 Stars Diving Songstress.
Qian Yu had been able to skyrocket to the position of Freedom Envoy because the Goddess of Mercy favored him and because his sacred source lifeform was very special.
Regardless, whether the Freedom Federation would emerge as the victor of this battle would depend on Qian Yu.
