CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 54 DEFEATING SON OF PURPLE BAMBOO, GONGSUN YING’S SECOND SOUND TALISMAN

After Lin Qianxuan input the command, the game’s scene changed once again.

Within a radius of about three thousand meters, a large amount of ownerless water vapor was mobilized, and the piled-up snow had also transformed into flowing water streams.

The waves surged, and the game character directly transformed into their True Dragon form, their figure soaring into the sky, carrying infinite water streams to wash over the Purple Bamboo Prince.

In the scene, the Purple Bamboo Prince waved his folding fan fiercely, the purple bamboo leaves carrying a terrifying storm, attempting to repel the water streams, but the condensed water streams continued to push forward steadily.

Gongsun Ying seized the opportunity and launched an attack.

Whoosh~!

A slash of Sword Qi cut through, directly breaking the White Crane’s shadow of the Purple Bamboo Prince, falling in front of him, causing his expression to change slightly, becoming even more frenzied. He raised his hand, and a gigantic purple bamboo whip fiercely lashed out.

Poof~!

The Sword Qi collided with the bamboo whip, but the Sword Qi was instead shattered and scattered by the lash.

The game’s character’s water streams continued to brush against the endless purple bamboo leaves, pushing forward continuously.

Lin Qianxuan thought that the next scene should be their victory.

Gongsun Ying and the Purple Bamboo Prince were at best evenly matched.

With the game character, victory seemed certain.

[Purple Bamboo Prince (angry, grimacing): Spirits of Purple Bamboo Mountain, I need your power to fight off these heinous intruders!!]

"This line? Can you also use an Essence Bomb?"

Lin Qianxuan quipped, feeling a bit uneasy.

The background scene changed, as endless muddy air suddenly surged into the Purple Bamboo Prince’s body, accompanied by things that seemed like souls.

The muddy air, the water streams could not penetrate, the Sword Qi was ineffective, Gongsun Ying and the game’s character were clearly at a loss.

[Gongsun Ying (cautious): Be careful, he’s given up on resisting the erosion of the muddy air; now, he might completely muddy themselves.]

Just as Gongsun Ying warned the game character, the scene changed again.

In the muddy air, a giant figure as massive as a mountain gradually appeared.

Countless purple bamboos weaved together, transforming into the Purple Bamboo Prince’s bloodline, muscles, and bones, bamboo whips waving, and endless purple bamboo leaves fluttering—at this moment, the Purple Bamboo Prince had turned into a giant monster connected with the endless purple bamboos of Purple Bamboo Mountain.

Comparing with the game characters, Lin Qianxuan felt he must be more than a hundred meters tall.

"No way? It’s bad enough that there’s a second form, but it’s also ten times stronger with blackening!" Lin Qianxuan said helplessly.

Complaining aside, the Purple Bamboo Prince did not stop his actions in the game.

As he raised his hand, numerous giant hands formed from bamboo whips slammed down, along with a massive assault of purple bamboo leaves towards the game character and Gongsun Ying.

Gongsun Ying continuously attacked, wielding Sword Qi, but was forced to retreat by the bamboo whips.

The game’s character, enveloped by water, charged upwards, blocking several bamboo whips, but more bamboo whips pressed on, forcing him back.

The scene changed again, the Purple Bamboo Prince not only attacked the game character and Gongsun Ying but also targeted Gongsun Yue and the others.

More than three hundred members of the Rebel Army manifested their Primordial Spirits, their bodies surrounded by translucent thirty-feet tall figures. Gongsun Yue and the three Squad Commanders’ figures were even more formidable, about thirty feet tall, although still short compared to Gongsun Ying’s eighty feet, still terrifying.

The size of the Primordial Spirit is not the only measure of its power, but barring some qualitative change, bigger is better.

These rebels, manifesting Primordial Spirits, also countered the bamboo whips, but compared to Gongsun Ying and the game’s character, their pressure was much less, as if it was a casual attack from the Purple Bamboo Prince.

In the game graphics, Gongsun Ying and the game character worked together against the enemy, appearing somewhat embarrassed in the hands of the completely muddied Purple Bamboo Prince.

The game character, after revealing their dragon form, had strong physical strength. Combined with manipulating a large amount of water, they could barely withstand one or two of the Purple Bamboo Prince’s attacks, while Gongsun Ying could only be beaten to a retreat.

[Gongsun Ying (through gritted teeth, looking at you, loudly says): My lord, please hold him off for me for a moment.]

[Lin Qianxuan: Okay!]

Although not knowing what Gongsun Ying meant by this statement before the battle, Lin Qianxuan guessed it should be preparing to charge up a big move.

Helping to block for a moment was also necessary.

Lin Qianxuan input a command, letting the game character bear the pressure alone.

The game character faced the blackened Purple Bamboo Prince alone, and the pressure suddenly increased.

With more bamboo whips and the attacks of purple bamboo leaves, he broke through the water barrier defense, with some bamboo leaves landing on the scale armor.

Fortunately, the dragon form’s defense was strong enough, leaving only marks on the scales, and even with the onslaught of bamboo leaves, no flesh was exposed.

"The attributes from Dragon Bloodline are really boosted high!" Lin Qianxuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Even at this time, not on the home ground, with limited control over the water streams, relying on the strength of this dragon form, he could still withstand several rounds against the completely muddied Purple Bamboo Prince. It had to be said, the Dragon Bloodline was truly strong.

Should it be on the home ground, he felt he could solo the Purple Bamboo Prince.

The power to manipulate all the water streams within several thousand meters was not to be underestimated?

Even now, without the home ground advantage, the game character could still go head to head. On home ground, it would be a crushing combat power.

In the next scene, Lin Qianxuan saw the grimacing face of Gongsun Ying.

Under her skin, it seemed like little bugs were squirming, veins standing out prominently, looking extremely savage and terrifying.

Divine Energy radiated from her body, with all her Divine Strategy Limbs glowing.

[Gongsun Ying (in pain): Aahhhh~!]

Along with Gongsun Ying’s shout of anger, her Primordial Spirit’s shape continued to expand, reaching over thirty fathoms, not much smaller than the Purple Bamboo Prince, the game character’s dragon true form dwarfed by comparison.

Moreover, her entire body’s Divine Strategy Limbs shone red, evaporating in waves of mist, or perhaps... Divine Energy?

Judging by this state, it was by no means simple.

The big move was indeed a big move, but it seemed to come with a cost.

Gongsun Ying’s face was now bulging with veins, her expression was hideous and unsightly, and uneven muscles swelled under her skin.

Lin Qianxuan recalled the information he obtained from the three squad commanders.

Gongsun Ying’s Refining God cultivation speed was swift, but her physical body limited her performance, so she transformed her limbs into Divine Strategy Limbs.

All of this was merely for better output.

Others might not know, but Lin Qianxuan was relatively clear about it.

Gongsun Ying had the talent of the Endless Divine Sea, her Divine Energy was almost inexhaustible.

With so much Divine Energy, it was still unexhausted whether used to refine the body or the Primordial Spirit.

The body and Primordial Spirit both have absorption limits, not infinite input, just infinite improvement.

It requires a period of time and adaptation process.

Forget about the Primordial Spirit, this thing cannot be transformed.

If Gongsun Ying wanted to gain immense power quickly, indeed replacing her limbs was the fastest way.

As long as her limbs became Divine Strategy Limbs that could withstand more Divine Energy, then she could explosively unleash more power at once.

But she couldn’t transform her entire body, after all, she still needed part of her body as a conduit, so even with transformation, there was an output time limit.

That meant at this moment, Gongsun Ying had likely invoked a skill similar to "Celestial Demon Dissolution" where one harms a thousand enemies and injures oneself by eight hundred.

"Boom~!"

Dazzling light erupted beneath Gongsun Ying’s feet, a highly condensed Great Sun exploded, the screen flashed, and the next moment, the blade in Gongsun Ying’s hand severed the bamboo whips one after another, heading straight for the head of Prince Purple Bamboo.

Seeing this, Prince Purple Bamboo hurriedly manipulated more bamboo whips and leaves to block in front, while a White Crane formed from purple bamboo also assaulted Gongsun Ying.

Without thinking, the game character rushed forward to block the White Crane, buying time for Gongsun Ying.

[Gongsun Ying (roaring): Slash!]

An extremely concentrated Sword Qi descended, Prince Purple Bamboo’s head flew off, his massive body paused, then began to fall backward.

"Boom~! Rumble rumble rumble!"

Countless purple bamboo scattered, rolling all over the ground, Prince Purple Bamboo had disappeared, only leaving behind a folding fan lying on the ground.

Gongsun Ying panted heavily as she descended from the sky, recalling her Primordial Spirit, and the scattered Divine Energy on her body was also reined in.

The game character also reverted to human form, landing lightly on the clouds.

[Gongsun Ying (coming to your side): Gongsun Lin, thank you, without your help, I wouldn’t have defeated him so easily.]

[Lin Qianxuan: After arriving here, it was you, Miss Ying, who took me in and taught me so much, so these are all things I should do.]

[You fought alongside Gongsun Ying and killed Prince Purple Bamboo, gaining her favor.]

[Gongsun Ying’s current connection level: 62%.]

[Hint: You’ve obtained a Sound Talisman [Valor].]

[Valor: A body of heroic might, resilient and strong. (Divine Energy refining body effect increased by 50%)]

Background music filled with dense drumbeats sounded, and the scene shifted accordingly.

At this moment, Gongsun Ying had evidently matured, wielding a large blade, slashing down the Muddy Spirits, rescuing one ordinary person after another.

Her Divine Energy was almost inexhaustible, no matter how many enemies, she could easily handle them, the Primordial Spirit manifested, fighting valiantly in all directions.

Such strength truly deserved the word valor.

After these scenes flashed by, three more hints appeared in succession.

[Hint: Gongsun Ying’s information has been updated, searchable via the String of Destiny.]

[Your valiant combat posture with Gongsun Ying made Gongsun Yue feel admiration.]

[Gongsun Yue’s current connection level: 28%.]

Never mind about acquiring Gongsun Ying’s memory information.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t expect Gongsun Yue’s favorability to have increased.

Valiant combat posture?

She likes this?

Yearns for battle?

Indeed, the elder sister is not smart, longs for wisdom.

The younger sister is smart but longs for battle.

People always desire and yearn for things they do not possess.

Lin Qianxuan shook his head slightly and opened Gongsun Ying’s information.

In it, he found her updated memory [Leader].

After clicking on it, the images of this memory began to appear.

A desolate background came into view, corpses were everywhere.

There were those of Muddy Spirits, as well as the Rebel Army.

The Gongsun sisters knelt before an elder’s corpse, their eyes filled with tears.

The elder was evidently Gao Ming, this was a scene of his death.

The next scene showed Gongsun Ying drying her tears, drawing and raising her sword, looking toward the demoralized Rebel Army.

[Foster father is dead, from today, I, Gongsun Ying, formally assume the position of Leader of the Muddy Spirit Resistance Army, everyone, please trust me, I will lead you to put an end to this catastrophe!!!]
