Chapter 289: Slowed Time, Epiphany Between Life and Death
["Die!"]
[A roar filled with anger and killing intent rang in Yu Xiaogang's ears.]
[In an instant, Yu Xiaogang felt as though death had already descended upon him.]
[But in this moment when death was about to arrive, Yu Xiaogang felt that time was passing incredibly slowly.]
[So slow that he could see the hideous expression on the face of the person attacking, and the gathering of Soul Power on the opponent's fist.]
[At the same time, Yu Xiaogang could also see the terror on the face of Tai Tan, who was slumped on the ground behind the attacker, and the subtle shift from shock to joy on the faces of Niu Gao and the others not far away.]
[At this moment, everything in the world seemed to have stopped, laid out before his eyes for him to observe.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang also understood that now was not the time to look at these things; he had to survive under this person's hand.]
[What should he do?]
[The first thing Yu Xiaogang thought of was definitely Elementalization.]
[As long as he could successfully perform Elementalization, he could turn danger into safety.]
[But the problem was that Elementalization was not a passive skill, but an active one.]
[When fighting Tai Tan before, the opponent had never been able to hit his vital points.]
[That was because Tai Tan's speed was too slow, and his attacks were all within the range that he could react to.]
[Therefore, when he sensed that Tai Tan's attack would cause unacceptable damage, Yu Xiaogang would immediately activate his Soul Bone Skill to make his body undergo Elementalization.]
[But now, this guy in front of him had suddenly appeared before him, blocked his attack, and then immediately struck without hesitation.]
[At this moment, if he wanted to use Elementalization, he had to first input Soul Power into the Soul Bone, then let the Soul Bone output the Soul Bone Skill to achieve the effect of Elementalization.]
[But the problem was, there wasn't enough time.]
[This guy's attack was right in front of him; with the circulation speed of his own Soul Power, he simply didn't have enough time to undergo Elementalization.]
[So besides Elementalization, what else could he do?]
[Taking it head-on was definitely out of the question; the opponent was aiming for his life, and as soon as that fist landed, he would surely die.]
[As for Lin Lang...]
[Yu Xiaogang could feel Soul Power fluctuations behind him; clearly, Lin Lang had also noticed this person.]
[Should he gamble? Gamble that Uncle Lin could save him?]
[Yu Xiaogang dismissed the thought without even thinking.]
[It wasn't that he didn't trust Uncle Lin, but placing one's life entirely in the hands of others was the height of stupidity.]
[If Uncle Lin made a misjudgment, he would really be dead.]
[So what else did he have on him that could deal with the current situation?]
[The External Soul Bone? Not enough time to use it.]
[Soul Skill? This he could manage in time; after all, the Soul Ring stored Soul Power, and a Soul Skill could be activated with a single thought.]
[At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was suddenly glad he had discovered the secret that Soul Rings could store Soul Power; otherwise, the Spirit Abilities of his Soul Rings would have to be ruled out today as well.]
[So, which Soul Skill could help him?]
[The First Soul Skill could form a defense, but in such a short time, the defense formed would be very weak.]
[The Second soul skill was mental-based; it could be used, but the activation was cumbersome.]
[The Third Soul Skill was a Domain, which wasn't of much use either.]
[The Fourth Spirit Ability went without saying.]
[In other words, he could only rely on his First Soul Skill and Second soul skill for defense.]
[The First Soul Skill alone couldn't block it; he and his father had tried it, and his full-power defense had been shattered by a single blow from his father.]
[However, there was no need to completely block the attack with the First Soul Skill.]
[It would be enough as long as it could hinder the opponent slightly, giving him enough time to perform Elementalization.]
[So how could he strengthen the defensive capability of the First Soul Skill?]
[Right, when the Second soul skill erupted, it could cause a short period of mental trance; just an instant would be enough for him to activate Elementalization.]
[Therefore, what he needed to do was to use the Self-created Soul Skill he had researched before—that move which combined the First Soul Skill and the Second soul skill to form an external mental shock.]
[But would that move alone be enough?]
[To be safe, should he also use the method of Mental Pressurization?]
[These many thoughts were completed in Yu Xiaogang's mind in almost an instant.]
[Having figured out the strategy to save his life, Yu Xiaogang moved his mind and mobilized his First Soul Skill, beginning to condense a defensive wall between himself and the fist that could kill him.]
[While condensing it, Yu Xiaogang's Spiritual Power was also merging into it.]
[To Yu Xiaogang's surprise, this Fusion felt smoother than ever before.]
[There was not a hint of resistance, nor a hint of wasted power.]
[It was as if a piece of naturally formed steel was being created.]
[Everything was going so smoothly.]
[Feeling the power merging without resistance under his mobilization, even in the midst of life and death, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.]
[This experience made Yu Xiaogang think of the legendary Epiphany.]
[Probably only Epiphany could describe his current situation.]
[Thinking about it, he was quite interesting, having an Epiphany between life and death.]
[Hahaha, how wonderful it would be if this feeling could stay a little longer.]
[Yu Xiaogang's brain went through a long realization.]
[In the outside world, in the blink of an eye, a figure arrived before Tai Tan, blocked Yu Xiaogang's attack, roared "die," and then threw a punch at Yu Xiaogang's head.]
[As early as the moment that figure moved, Lin Lang had already noticed the opponent's movements.]
[Seeing the opponent rush towards Yu Xiaogang, Lin Lang performed Martial Soul Possession and also rushed in Yu Xiaogang's direction.]
[Almost simultaneously, Lin Lang and that person arrived by Yu Xiaogang's side.]
[The two attacked one after another.]
[But what Lin Lang didn't expect was that the opponent had no intention of dodging his attack at all.]
[Seeing this situation, Lin Lang realized he had made a misjudgment.]
[The guy in front of him was a lunatic; he was actually willing to expose his own vitals just to strike at Yu Xiaogang.]
[What a reckless lunatic!]
[Lin Lang cursed inwardly and immediately redirected his attack target, pointing straight at the opponent's fist attacking Yu Xiaogang, intending to deflect the attack.]
[But because of Lin Lang's initial misjudgment, he had already lost the initiative; thus, before Lin Lang's attack could land, the opponent's fist had already arrived in front of Yu Xiaogang.]
["Stop!!"]
[Lin Lang watched with eyes nearly splitting as the fist drew closer to Yu Xiaogang bit by bit, but he couldn't even roar it out loud in time, only able to scream in his heart.]
[Seeming to notice the fury on Lin Lang's face, the person revealed a provocative smile, as if mocking Yu Xiaogang, mocking Lin Lang, and mocking the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[But in the next second, the provocative smile on the opponent's face froze.]
[Because a pitch-black barrier blocked the path of his fist.]
["Ridiculous!"]
[The opponent sneered in his heart, circulating his Soul Power and increasing his strength.]
[But when his fist collided with that barrier, a sense of mental trepidation caused him to fall into a momentary trance.]
[It was this very moment of trance that gave Yu Xiaogang a chance to breathe.]
[In the next instant, the fist broke through the barrier and hit Yu Xiaogang's body.]
[But unfortunately, by this time, Yu Xiaogang had already successfully activated his Soul Bone Skill.]
[Thus, when the opponent's punch landed, Yu Xiaogang transformed into a sky full of black particles, successfully evading the fatal blow.]
