238 Chapter 238: Nothingness

...

Move faster!!

Looking at the huge fist that was about to descend, Zeng Yi's heart shouted out in madness. However, under the terrifying pressure of the fist, his heavily injured body couldn't move at all.

Zeng Yi's gaze was filled with despair.

Could it be that he was going to die here?

Boom—

At a critical moment, a sturdy figure blocked in front of Zeng Yi. His Spirit power turned into a giant shield, blocking the powerful punch from Specter.

And in the next moment, a gust of fragrance swept by as Xu You, with her agile figure, quickly flashed past, hugged Zeng Yi, and swiftly moved to the side.

As a defensive Spirit King, Niu Man resisted with full force but could only withstand Specter's punch for two seconds before being blasted away over ten meters.

"Darn it! How could you two little bugs ruin our plans?" Seeing Zeng Yi being saved, Specter became furious and roared to the sky. A powerful gust of wind swept the surroundings, stirring up countless dust and fallen leaves.

*Cough cough cough~*

Supported by Xu You, Zeng Yi coughed violently, spitting out blood. His face was bleeding from every pore, horrifying to the extreme. His aura had also weakened significantly, clearly indicating that he was unable to continue the fight.

"Young Master, shall we escape?" Xu You suggested. As an agile attack-type Spirit King, she was confident in leading Zeng Yi to escape in the forest.

After hearing her words, Zeng Yi shook his head. "We can leave, but what about Brother Niu?"

Although Zeng Yi couldn't be considered a good person, he couldn't abandon Niu Man, who risked his life to save him, and escape on his own. He couldn't do such a thing.

"Let me go."

Zeng Yi broke free from Xu You's support, holding Ronin Sword in his right hand and inserting it into the ground. He used both hands to prop himself up, supporting his own body.

"You take Niu Man and leave. It's best to have a distance of over a hundred meters between us. I have my own way to kill this monster." Zeng Yi said to her.

"But..."

"Trust me!"

Looking at Zeng Yi's determined eyes and feeling the rapid recovery of his Spirit power inside him, Xu You chose to believe him.

"Alright."

Agreeing to Xu You's response, her figure quickly rushed towards the fallen Niu Man's direction.

Specter watched as Xu You quickly led Niu Man away, while Zeng Yi still stood in place, and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

"To sacrifice your own life for the sake of your companion, truly a noble friendship. Seeing this scene, I am really moved, hahaha~"

"However, the lives of those two little bugs are not important. Their lives are not worth even one of your arms. Letting them go doesn't matter as long as you die." Specter looked at Zeng Yi, revealing an evil smile.

Killing a Spirit Master genius who possessed three thousand-year Spirit rings and one ten-thousand-year Spirit ring was truly an honorable achievement!

Such a person could be said to be encountered once in a millennium. Throughout the entire history of the continent, apart from the owners of twin Martial Spirits, no one else had all four Spirit rings be of thousand-year level with one of ten-thousand-year level.

To be able to kill such a person was truly a great honor!

"Oh, then why aren't you the one dying?" Zeng Yi lightly laughed, his left hand gently caressing the blade of Ronin Sword.

After using the spirit skill "Spirit Bone Storage." Zeng Yi's Spirit power rapidly recovered. Within a short time, he had already replenished more than half of his Spirit power.

The surging Spirit power surged and circulated in his body, also restoring much of Zeng Yi's strength. The pain in his body was slowly dissipating.

Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Specter became anxious and chuckled, "With your strength, you couldn't even withstand one of my punches, yet you still think of killing me? Ridiculous!"

"Although I don't know what method you used to rapidly recover your Spirit power, the result remains the same. This time, no one can save your life." Specter also sensed Zeng Yi's Spirit power rapidly recovering, but he wouldn't give him another chance this time.

Zeng Yi gripped Ronin Sword, swung it to the right, and a neat slash mark appeared on the ground, his eyes flashing with a sharp gaze.

"Dealing with a monster like you, I actually held back a bit. It was quite impolite of me. From now on, I will go all out." Zeng Yi stared intensely at the tall figure in front of him and said indifferently.

Although this guy's defense was high, Zeng Yi's attacks could still leave wounds on his body, which meant he had the ability to cut through his body. He just needed to increase the strength of his strikes.

Feeling his power significantly enhanced once again, Zeng Yi's lips couldn't help but curl up with a slight smile.

The [Ronin]'s passive skill had returned.

With this skill enhancing fifty percent of his abilities, Zeng Yi felt even more confident.

The four Spirit rings revolving around Zeng Yi suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

[Sword of Selflessness]

[Striving for Life from Death]

Zeng Yi began burning all of his Spirit power. In an instant, a chaotic gust of wind swept through the scene, dust and fallen leaves filled the air, and sand and stone flew around. The howling wind enveloped everything around.

Terrifying sword intent began to brew, causing Specter to feel a chill running down his spine. He sensed a hint of death's aura and started to feel fear, trembling at his core.

How could it be possible? Someone at the Spirit Ancestor level, able to use such a terrifying technique?

Specter couldn't help but be filled with disbelief; it was truly shocking.

No, he couldn't let Zeng Yi continue brewing it.

Specter started to move, rushing towards Zeng Yi. His hands clenched into fists, and the terrifying punch distorted the surrounding air, creating a powerful gust of wind.

And in the next moment, in Specter's astonished expression, the chaotic wind in the field suddenly stopped, and even Zeng Yi's Spirit power disappeared, as if it had returned to nothingness.

Specter focused his gaze on Zeng Yi. He was standing right there, yet it felt like he wasn't there, as if he didn't exist in this world.

Zeng Yi also entered that mysterious state once again, as if he had merged with the world. His spirit was present alongside the heavens and earth. With every move he made, he wielded the power of the heavens and earth.

"Just pretending to be a God! Die for me!" Specter roared, his fist containing terrifying power. The surrounding space distorted due to the immense force, and his punch enveloped Zeng Yi. The gust of wind blew Zeng Yi's long hair in a frenzy.

Zeng Yi opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were no longer silver; they had turned pitch black. In those black eyes, there was no trace of life, just like a dead pool of water, completely calm.

In Zeng Yi's eyes, Specter's moving figure seemed to be crawling slowly, and he could easily dodge this attack.

"So slow."

A faint murmur came out, and Specter felt that this emotionless voice seemed to come from his own heart.

Just as his fist was about to reach Zeng Yi, he suddenly found that Zeng Yi's figure had disappeared.

Even though he had been watching him all along and hadn't blinked once, how could he suddenly vanish?

Specter was perplexed, but he felt a gentle breeze brush against his neck.

Specter stopped in his tracks, his heart rapidly beating. He felt something incredible. He was still alive, he could still think, his heart was still beating, and his blood was still flowing.

But why did he feel like he was already dead?

At some point, Zeng Yi's figure appeared behind Specter. His left hand held the scabbard, and his right hand held Ronin Sword as he slowly retracted the blade into the sheath.

Specter turned his neck to look at the person standing behind him and asked, "What do you call that move?"

Zeng Yi looked up at the night sky and replied, "This move is called Nothingness."

As soon as the words fell, Zeng Yi's consciousness darkened, and his body fell to the ground, weakened.

"So this move is called Nothingness."

Specter's voice became weak, and then he saw his vision plummeting downward.

Huh? Isn't that my body?

Turns out, I'm already dead!

Plop~

A head dropped to the ground, rolling a few laps before coming to a stop.
