Parsons was not surprised by this result.
This is his strength...
The ferocious vitality was like chains, linking the remains together.
Despite being dismembered, Aro's actions did not stop for the slightest.
Conversely, the life force linking the corpses locked Parsons in the middle.
Parsons' body stiffened. He was already in mid-air and had little leverage.
Now I can't muster any strength at all.
Countless life forces, like a spider web, entangled Parsen more and more tightly.
Then Arojie carried Parsons' body and headed towards the church.
This idiot right now, judging by his clothes and abilities, is quite capable, and his identity may not be simple. He could be used as a hostage!
The confinement cell was destroyed, and Nemus, unarmed and wearing only thin clothes, appeared before Arokai.
In his smiling eyes, it seemed as if he had spotted a top-tier prey.
Chapter 256 Secret Sword - Qi Sword Technique - Magpie's Tail
"We meet again." Aro's body, which had been pieced together again, was filled with a large amount of life force that twisted into lines, restricting Parsen.
Arro was rather cautious about Nemes.
The memory of Nemus severing the Demon Warlock Golden Dream with three swords at our family's manor is still fresh in my mind.
Although Nems is currently unarmed, no one can say for sure what Nems' true strength is.
As for Parsen, Aro didn't pay much attention to him; he was just a weakling with no will to use his power.
"In this world, some people are the strong, while others are the pigs."
"It's not entirely determined by strength, but by mindset."
"No matter how large a herbivore is, it is still prey for carnivores."
“He is a herbivore, while you and I know that you are a carnivore.” Arojie did not rush to make a move. Although he was trying to create a time difference, the more urgent the matter, the more cautious one should be.
Otherwise, mistakes will inevitably occur in the process sooner or later, leading to a hasty and disastrous end.
“I agree with that.” Nems glanced at Parsons, then looked away.
Parsons is very strong on paper, and he likely possesses some secret techniques. If he were to unleash all of them, even Nemus might find him troublesome.
However, neither Nems nor Arojie took this guy seriously.
It's just a difference in mindset.
Parsons thought everything was in a safe environment, and that all his enemies were just plants, perhaps some of which were poisonous or grew too tall for him to pick and eat.
However, in reality, carnivores all share a cognitive mindset—that while they are hunters, they can also become prey at any time.
Parsons didn't have that mindset, so on his first attack, he opted for a jump attack and didn't hold back any energy.
Underestimating his opponent and being careless, he was unable to unleash even 60% of his full strength before being controlled by Arokai.
"Damn it, come save me!" Parsons felt humiliated, but he was even more furious.
He was just careless. If he had another chance, he would never lose so easily.
Although he has lost, he is still the eldest son of the Levin family and an investigator for the church.
So what gives Nems the right, and why does he dare to look at himself that way?
Parsons made up his mind that once he was freed, he would make Nems pay the price.
He absolutely wanted to make Nems suffer humiliation and die!
"Welcome to the world of carnivores." However, after saying this to Parsons, Nemus slowly stood up and looked at the world of Arro.
"Your hostage might be of some use to those guys outside, but you're of no use to me."
"So, have you thought it through?" Nemus's surging fighting spirit materialized at that moment, forming waves of mental pressure that pressed down on the surroundings: "As the challenger, how do you plan to survive against me?!"
Arojie narrowed his eyes, then unleashed his power, instantly transforming into a blur before swiftly heading towards his target.
As he moved forward, his face quickly transformed into a neutral appearance.
The life force recedes back into the body, and when it reappears, it is an invisible force devoid of any other characteristics.
The surging, invisible force, like the sharpest weapon, slashed at Nemus from all directions, blocking all of Nemus's escape routes.
At the same time, Aro's body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change. Magic arrays appeared on the ground, and a strong abyssal aura surged up, transforming into a field.
In this space, Parsons felt short of breath, each breath seemingly filled with the smell of sulfur.
This is what Aro Realm was preparing for before they rushed to attack.
The Demonic Magic Circle is a privileged power belonging to demons, a kind of authority derived from the abyss.
Within the magic array, any life force will be corrupted and suppressed by the abyssal aura.
In this situation, most of the divine power will lose its effect due to the clash with the abyssal aura.
Nemus's body was instantly sliced open by an invisible force.
However, the moment he succeeded, alarm bells rang in Aro's mind.
Before the body transformation was complete, a sharp sword aura had already sliced everything apart.
Nemus's body, sliced open by an invisible force, rapidly became ethereal, then shattered, and a new Nemus emerged from it.
If Isabella learned his spellcasting philosophy and techniques from the old priest, then...
So Nemes also learned something from the old pastor.
Light is not necessarily brightness; when light is too intense, it can also be an illusion.
When truth and falsehood are mixed in, light takes on different shapes.
As they spoke, Aro was making battlefield preparations, and Nemus was doing the same.
In comparison, Nemus has been sitting cross-legged in the solitary confinement room for so many days, and the entire room is filled with his aura and the extension of his power.
With each breath, the air changes, and thus the light changes.
The energy shifted slightly, forming a sword, and the deflected light became an extension of the sword.
The vision of the Aro realm was also instantly obscured, and some of their senses were clouded.
Then came the rapidly approaching, sharp aura.
Aro did not try to dodge, but instead a large amount of invisible power retracted and surrounded him, completely enveloping him.
Although Isabella had previously broken her invisible power through magical hijacking, the accumulation of numerical values is always correct.
Even a spellcaster like Isabella needs to first use the light of magic to erode the spell before she can hijack it.
Nemus was just a paladin...
The sword energy flowed, its sharpness piercing into the invisible force. Then, Aro felt his invisible force being rapidly reshaped.
Compared to Isabella's choice to start with the invisible power of 'no external properties', Nemus chose to start with the change of form.
Compared to Isabella, Aro suddenly felt that Nems was more terrifying.
Nemus had almost seen through the way he was stacking his invisible power, and with a thrust of his sword, he struck precisely at the most critical structural point of his invisible power construction.
It was this one sword strike that caused the invisible force that had created the protective barrier to begin to crumble completely.
At the same time, there is an external force on the sword that is attracting those defeated, invisible forces, causing them to break free from its control and become part of the sword energy.
This is the family-inherited sword aura technique of the former Paladin Squad's third squad leader.
It can use external energy as temporary sword energy.
Nemus, on the other hand, completely mastered the Qi in the breath, no longer using physical swords, but choosing Qi as his sword.
The sword strike that hit the key point of the invisible force's structure earlier wasn't entirely due to eyesight.
Following the use of a bit of luck—
Secret Sword Technique: Qi Sword Art: Magpie Tail!
Chapter 257 Qi and Luck
Because of the incorporation of luck, the sword energy always manages to hit the enemy's weakest point.
Of course, since this move is not yet perfect, Nemus still needs to use his eyesight and understanding of the enemy's weaknesses to assist him in the process.
The sword energy pierced through flesh and blood, as if it wanted to completely sever the Aro realm.
However, it was still a little short.
Arojie took a deep breath, and an invisible force rapidly mended his body.
Nemus's stats were still a bit lacking. Although the invisible force was defeated, most of the out-of-control invisible force was absorbed by the sword energy.
However, his stats are still superior.
In the neutral state of the Aro realm, with the accumulation of numerical values, even if the weakness of the invisible force is broken, it is still a powerful protective force.
Nemus's sword energy only managed to break through some of the defenses and cut open a portion of his own flesh.
The surrounding houses were collapsing, and Arojie frowned as he watched the dust rising.
Although he still had some obsession with cleanliness, he knew that fighting was not the time to care about such things.
Otherwise, even though spitting out eggs is disgusting and summoning the Abyss Gate is disgusting, he still did it.
What truly made him frown was Nemus's control over Qi.
With each breath, Nemus would draw upon the surrounding energy.
Ordinary air has limited effect on scattering and refracting light.
But this dusty air is different.
In this environment, Nemus's illusions might become even stronger.
"He really is... a special enemy!" Arojie said, while carrying Parsen, he was wary of Nemus's surprise attack under the illusion.
Generally speaking, cultivators on the life side mostly use weapons to launch physical attacks, and using sword energy is their limit.
Most of its features are designed to complement physical attacks.
However, Nemus uses a life-oriented training method to manipulate changes in aura through breathing, thereby using aura to cast illusions.
The most unique aspect is that, despite relying on one's own numerical values and perception abilities, it is difficult to see through the opponent's illusions.
It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, even the illusions cast by a skilled spellcaster have significant flaws.
Mental power becomes more flexible, penetrates deeper into various elements, and has more precise control over all things.
However, an illusion is still an illusion, and once the perception spreads and discovers a flaw, the illusion will be broken.
But Nemus's illusion magic, which he manipulated with his aura, was different.
"It may seem like just the personal breath flowing through the mouth and nose, but there is something else involved in it."
"The nature of that thing is very mysterious, and that is the key to why the opponent's illusion and sword qi techniques can be controlled so easily."
Arhat does not know what fortune is, nor can he observe it.
However, he tried to create a wind to disrupt the aura controlled by Nemus, but found that it had little effect.
Nems' unique breathing technique is the control center of breath, and the movement of breath is the core support for breath to face external interference.
This support prevented interference and spying from the enemy, thus ensuring the success of the illusion.
Of course, for Nemus, illusion is just a minor auxiliary technique; what he really cares about is the use of luck.
Luck is the affinity between things; it is an intrinsic attraction beyond most observations.
The more luck there is, the stronger the attraction between things, and the more likely things are to develop in that direction.
By combining breath control with energy, Nemus has greatly enhanced his control over his aura.
“Simply breathing has no power, and simply circulating energy is also difficult to achieve any effect. Only when they are combined can they exert their proper effect.” Nemus began to breathe again.
