Chapter 162
The Spirit Robe emitted from the Sacred Bow could be manipulated in direction by Ye Lixing, but he was currently bewildered.
Why had the lightning dragon stopped? And why had it turned around on its own?!
“Roar—”
A dragon’s roar echoed through the mountains and forests, its blazing lightning strike flashing with terrifying killing intent, charging directly at Ye Lixing!
Ye Lixing’s brow furrowed slightly. It was only then that he noticed Xia Feng was holding a verdant green longbow in his hand.
“You dare to copy my Spirit Artifact?” Ye Lixing was surprised. He finally understood why the lightning dragon was no longer under his control.
However, it didn’t matter. While Xia Feng’s ability could copy Spirit Artifacts, it couldn’t copy the artifact calamity form that possessed consciousness.
[Elven Sacred Bow (Artifact Calamity Form): Spirit Artifacts can transform into female elves and develop self-awareness.]
[Artifact Calamity Amplification: The artifact’s consciousness can merge with the shot arrow, allowing for better control over the arrow’s direction.]
With a female elf present, it was impossible for Xia Feng to compete for control with him. Now, he just needed to wait for this ignorant fool to suffer the backlash from the Nightmare God.
“Shirley,” Ye Lixing smiled and turned his head, “Let that guy know your correct usage!”
Shirley was the name he gave the female elf. Sensing her master’s will, the elf nodded, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. Her consciousness entered the luminous lightning dragon, and instantly, the lightning dragon charging from afar froze mid-air, immobile.
However, just as the lightning dragon was preparing to turn around and attack Xia Feng again, a hint of confusion flashed in Shirley’s light green beautiful eyes.
She sensed it. The lightning dragon controlled by the man in white in the distance had an astonishing 500% amplification in power!
It was nearly double that of her master!
Upon realizing this, her confused gaze gradually turned excited, and she took a step forward.
Ye Lixing blinked in surprise. “Shirley, what are you doing?”
The woman in the verdant green long skirt turned back, pointing a finger at Xia Feng in the distance. Her mature and charming little face blinked her large eyes. “Master, that man is so powerful. I want to be used by him.”
Ye Lixing: “???”
Listen to yourself. Are you speaking human language? Ye Lixing was utterly confused and said angrily, “That’s my enemy!”
“I know, but Master, you are too weak.” Shirley turned back to look at Xia Feng in the distance, excitedly licking her lips with her pink tongue. Her tone was serious and sincere: “But your enemy makes me feel so satisfied. I want to experience what it feels like to be fully utilized by him!”
With that, she ignored her master and rushed straight towards Xia Feng, who had suddenly stopped in the distance.
“?!?” Seeing this, Ye Lixing’s mouth parted slightly in disbelief. “You—you—damn it—”
He was completely dumbfounded. Was this a joke? Damn it! He finally understood what the groundhog had meant. The groundhog had said that although the humanoid form was good, it had significant side effects, such as being easily taken out of the master’s control.
Artifact calamities in humanoid form would normally obey their masters. However, if they encountered something they were interested in, or something they wanted to do, they would no longer heed their master’s commands.
Xia Feng hadn’t immediately used “Remove the false and preserve the true.” He had initially planned to observe the humanoid artifact calamity beside Ye Lixing to understand its purpose. He hadn’t expected this beautiful elf to suddenly charge at him with excitement.
“What the—what is this?” Xia Feng was startled. But before he could react, a piece of information surged into his mind.
[Artifact Calamity · Shirley requests to establish a link with you.]
[Artifact Calamity Amplification: The artifact’s consciousness can merge with the shot arrow, allowing for better control over the arrow’s direction.]
Xia Feng blinked, his expression slightly suspicious. This artifact calamity was quite proactive. He hadn’t even used “Remove the false and preserve the true” yet.
A thought of agreement flashed through his mind, and instantly, the tall female elf disintegrated into light green spiritual light. The next moment, it converged behind Xia Feng. At the same time, she pressed herself close to him, her delicate hands gently embracing his waist. She whispered seductively near his ear, “Sir, please use Shirley with all your might~”
Xia Feng: “?” Ye Lixing: “!”
This was the first time Xia Feng had encountered such a proactive Spirit Artifact. Well then, he would respectfully accept her offer!
“You—you damn it, let go of my Shirley!”
The moment Shirley pressed herself against Xia Feng, Ye Lixing completely lost his composure. Fire blazed in his eyes, and his molars were about to be ground to dust. “You scoundrel!”
Boom!!!
As Ye Lixing cursed furiously, the lightning dragon, carrying immense power, no longer hesitated and roared directly at him!
Thunder rumbled. However, as it approached Ye Lixing, it was blocked by a dark green shield that appeared in front of him. Blinding light exploded, and the shield absorbed the lightning dragon before shattering with a crackle. Pfft—Ye Lixing vomited a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
Cloud Following Dragon was his B-grade Spirit Robe, a full-power attack, and with the amplification from the Elven Sacred Bow, even he, a Fourth-stage Spirit Master, couldn’t withstand it.
Fortunately, he also had defensive measures. As the smoke and dust dispersed, he landed steadily on the ground. His gaze coldly fixed on the man embraced by Shirley in the distance, his heart filled with anger. Why hadn’t this surnamed Xia been struck by the Heavenly Gift Great Calamity yet?!
“So, so powerful!” Shirley’s charming exclamation echoed from the distance. “This power is so much greater than when Master used it! Xia Feng, I want more! Can we do it again~”
“(¤益¤)” Ye Lixing’s forehead veins bulged. Listening to Shirley’s increasingly delighted voice, he felt like he was going insane. This lowly commoner!!
For some reason, seeing Shirley snatched away felt worse than not getting the Saintess.
!
But fortunately, according to his senses, he still possessed basic control over Shirley, allowing him to make this shameless vagrant elf disappear temporarily!
A thought crossed his mind.
At the same time, Xia Feng sensed that the artifact calamity was about to disappear. He also had a thought—Remove the false!
Bang—Ye Lixing looked down in astonishment. The longbow in his hand had quietly transformed into spiritual light.
“What the hell?”
Before he could react.
—Preserve the true!
This spiritual light transformed into spirit flow, surging towards Xia Feng and merging with the longbow in Xia Feng’s hand, unifying the true and false.
Ye Lixing’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What kind of trickery is this? He’s directly stealing my Spirit Artifact!”
What happened to just copying?!
Most of his Spirit Robes relied on the Elven Sacred Bow to unleash their full potential. Without the Elven Sacred Bow, his combat power would be reduced by at least half.
“Hurry up~ I want more~” Shirley’s seductive whisper sounded in Xia Feng’s ear again. She seemed impatient and reached out, placing Xia Feng’s wrist on the bowstring.
Seeing this, Xia Feng followed suit, raising the bow. His dark eyes narrowed as he slowly drew the bowstring. A black beam of light, constantly flickering with spiritual luminescence, began to converge on the bow. Waves of darkness spread out from him, and the heavens and earth roared with rumbling black clouds.
This was the Exoneration Cannon from the Exoneration Mandate. With the amplification of the Elven Spirit Robe, its power continued to climb.
As he gradually drew the bowstring to its fullest, Shirley’s beautiful back tightened along with it. She could feel the power of the arrow on the bowstring escalating to a terrifying level, a height she had never experienced when Ye Lixing was controlling it!
“This Spirit Pressure…”
As the black beam quickly took shape, Ye Lixing’s expression darkened. This time, he truly sensed it. Xia Feng was actually a Third-stage, and he used his B-grade Spirit Robe with such proficiency! The speed at which he constructed the Spirit Particle Structure was astonishingly fast.
Ye Lixing didn’t hesitate and turned to run. He wasn’t particularly afraid. A Fourth-stage, whether in defensive ability, Spirit Pressure intensity, or even Mental Power, far surpassed a Third-stage. He wasn’t worried at all.
However, he had now lost the Elven Sacred Bow, and there was no need to confront Xia Feng head-on.
There were three people present: Xia Feng and Cha Nai Xue were Third-stage, and that beautiful woman in the black dress was at most Second-stage. So, he would deal with the weaker opponent first.
A sinister smile spread across Ye Lixing’s lips. He stamped his foot, conjuring black Sealing Arrows in his left hand and swirling pink Arrows of Desire in his right. His figure flickered like a ghost as he rapidly approached Mu Qingtong.
