Chapter 8 Frost Justice Heavenly Crystal.
"Yan!"
Xie Yue quickly summoned his martial spirit, blocking himself and retreating to Yan's side.
"Are you okay?"
"My head… seems to be cracked." Yan's eyes were a little dazed.
This person has no martial ethics!
His martial spirit hasn't even fully possessed him yet!
"I say, are you guys stupid?" Nangong Yi waved his hand, and the Heavenly Crystal Beast's egg returned to his hand.
"Robbery in a place like this in broad daylight is fine, but can you be a little more considerate?"
"Do I look like a rich man?"
He couldn't even afford to eat, and he was being robbed?
Is there any justice in the world?
"…"
Yan, lying on the ground, took a moment to relax and stand up.
After all, he was a Soul Master, so he wouldn't be defeated by a few hits on the head from a child.
But this time, Yan was much more cautious, first possessing his martial spirit to protect his head and prevent sneak attacks.
This kid is not right!
Can't be careless!
"Huh? You're quite strong." Nangong Yi was a little surprised.
The Sky Crystal Beast's egg was incredibly tough. After taking two headshots, he could still stand?
"Boy, don't be so arrogant..."
Whoosh!
A swift blue light flashed, striking Yan's exposed head again, knocking him to the ground.
"..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
"Could this kid's martial spirit be that egg?" Yue Guan wondered.
So expertly done!
This kid's technique of bashing people with the egg was incredibly skillful!
Showing his head was instantly annihilated!
"Second Soul Skill—Granite!"
Yan, struck by three consecutive headshots, was genuinely frightened.
This kid's attacks were getting harder and harder. If the next one increased in power like the previous ones, he'd be knocked unconscious by another headshot!
"Hit me again if you dare!" Yan hid behind the granite he had created, not daring to show his head again.
It hurt!
That egg was so hard!
"You're very courageous. I'll satisfy you."
Nangong Yi's eyes narrowed, clutching the Sky Crystal Beast's egg tightly and aiming at the red-haired monster behind the granite. "
Master! Stop smashing!"
Just as the Sky Crystal Beast egg was about to slip out of his hand again, it cracked and emanated a dazzling multicolored light.
A flash of light passed, and the creature within fell to the ground.
Its unicorn-like body was covered in shimmering scales, each like a delicate gem, radiating a captivating light. Its head radiated a pair of sharp Sky Crystal horns, their tips gleaming with a cold light, seemingly capable of piercing everything.
Around its neck grew rainbow-green Sky Crystal feathers, resembling shimmering ribbons that danced in the air, radiating a dazzling brilliance. Its tail was crowned by a sharp Sky Crystal spike, as hard as fine steel, gleaming with a chilling gleam.
"Master, that's not how I use it," the Sky Crystal Beast said helplessly.
Nangong Yi raised an eyebrow. "You've been ignoring me, I thought you were dead."
"I was just seriously injured and slept a little longer," the Sky Crystal Beast said aggrievedly.
If he didn't wake up, he feared Nangong Yi would use him as a Taixu Beast!
"But I feel like the way you were just now is more handy," Nangong Yi said seriously.
"So, can you transform back?"
"..." Sky Crystal Beast.
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
The egg has hatched, can it be hatched back?
"If you can't, then transform. Let me see your current condition," Nangong Yi said.
The Sky Crystal exploded, severely damaged; he wanted to see just how badly it had been damaged.
"Transform?"
Hu Liena and the others were stunned.
Wasn't the egg-transforming Qilin enough?
Could it transform further?
"Sky Crystal Beast, transform into a divine weapon, Sky Crystal!"
"Roar!!!"
The Sky Crystal Beast roared, its eyes blazing with light as it instantly enveloped and devoured itself and Nangong Yi.
"I'm afraid you can't use this power right now."
Within the ball of light, time and space were frozen, and Nuwa's divine consciousness reappeared.
"Why?" Nangong Yi asked in confusion.
He'd been able to use it before, so why not now?
"The final curse that Yuanshi Tianmo placed on the Sky Crystal has increased the demands placed on its user," Nuwa said.
Nangong Yi was stunned. "Improve?"
"What do you mean?"
"This is actually Yuanshi Tianmo targeting you." Nuwa looked strange.
"He must have guessed that I would definitely help you. So, destroying the Heavenly Crystal is unrealistic, and killing you is also unrealistic. Therefore, the only thing he can do is to prevent you from controlling the Heavenly Crystal."
"The Heavenly Crystal is a divine weapon that symbolizes benevolence. Its power can create the world, embrace everything with benevolence, and quell all disputes."
"Because of this terrifying power, the Heavenly Crystal has extremely strict requirements for its users. Those who do not meet the requirements cannot use the power of the Heavenly Crystal. If it is forcibly used, the Heavenly Crystal will self-destruct to ensure that this power does not fall into the hands of evildoers and bring disaster to the world."
"In your battle with Yuanshi Tianmo, you did not have a trace of benevolence, and yet the Heavenly Crystal unleashed its destructive power in your hands, almost killing even Yuanshi Tianmo, who is essentially an immortal demon god."
"Yuanshi Tianmo believes that this is because the Heavenly Crystal is incomplete, and therefore the restrictions on the Weapon Master have weakened. If he strengthens the Heavenly Crystal's restrictions on the Weapon Master's benevolence through a curse, then you will lose the qualification to control the Heavenly Crystal."
"In other words... Yuanshi Tianmo believes that you have no benevolence."
"..."
"Hehe...hahahaha!"
Nangong Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Tian Jing, do you think I have a kind heart?"
The Sky Crystal Beast nodded, "Of course!"
If the Heavenly God Soldier wanted to unleash its true power, it needed to be in tune with its Master. In a sense, it understood Nangong Yi best.
Benevolence?
Nangong Yi had it in spades.
Nangong Yi wasn't sure he could defeat Yuanshi Tianmo, but he went ahead anyway. Initially, he even intended to die with him.
Killing Yuanshi Tianmo, the greatest threat to humanity, was Nangong Yi's greatest act of kindness.
Killing and kindness aren't mutually exclusive. Some things just don't deserve kindness.
And Yuanshi Tianmo, was he?
"Tian Jing! Transform!" Nangong Yi shouted.
"Show that Yuanshi Tianmo, Babar, whether I lack kindness or whether he doesn't deserve it!"
"Roar!!!"
Tian Jing roared again, his eyes blazing with an even brighter icy blue light!
Tian Jing of Frost Justice!
The light dispersed, and Nangong Yi's black shirt transformed into a breastplate. Armor-like accessories resembling dragon wings sprouted from his broad shoulders, rising upward, emphasizing a heroic aura.
Hard frost armor also transformed across his arms and waist, and his belt transformed into a blue and white crotch guard, revealing a flowing hem beneath.
Armor patterns sprouted from his legs, his kneepads and boots transformed into ice-blue armor, and a blood-red cape sprouted from his back, imposing him with a dashing presence.
The last ray of blue light overhead transformed into a Sky Crystal Sword, its blade adorned with cyan crystals. The blade had neat, sharp auras, gleaming with brilliance, and the hilt was encircled by several rays of light.
Simultaneously, a massive ice-blue halo hovered beneath Nangong Yi's feet.
A halo of justice!
"So handsome..." Hu Liena's eyes gleamed as she gazed at Nangong Yi, clad in the frost armor. Yan and Xie Yue, standing opposite him, also cast envious glances.
Damn! This brat's spirit is so handsome!
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, a flurry of cracking sounds echoed, and numerous cracks began to appear on the Sky Crystal Sword and the frost armor.
"Huh?" Nangong Yi frowned.
He's so badly injured? Even maintaining his transformation is a struggle.
Nangong Yi glanced at his frost armor, which seemed poised to shatter at any moment. "This battle-damaged Frost Crystal, how much power can I still unleash?"
Nangong Yi took a deep breath, his soul energy coursing rapidly, concentrating all his energy on the Crystal in his hand.
A terrifying coldness exploded from Nangong Yi's center. Simultaneously, a faint shadow of an ice dragon began to condense, circling Nangong Yi.
"Cold—"
"Ice—"
"Wait! No more!"
Feeling the terrifying power of this attack, Yan and Xie Yue both hesitated.
They both had a strong premonition that this attack could not be taken head-on!
Nangong Yi remained undeterred, continuing to gather his frost power.
The ice dragon condensed and took shape!
"Break!"
"Roar!!!"
The ice dragon roared and flew out, charging towards Xie Yue and Yan.
Seeing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei panicked.
"Oh no! This is a big deal!"
If this ice dragon hit them, Yan and Xie Yue would be either dead or crippled!
"Brother!"
Seeing the ice dragon about to strike them, Yue Guan and Gui Mei rushed to attack. However, before they could reveal their true form, the ice dragon, charging towards Xie Yue and the others, suddenly reversed course and streaked into the sky.
The dragon raised its head!
Boom!!!
After flying dozens of meters in the air, the ice dragon suddenly shrank and converged, emitting an icy-blue flash before suddenly exploding.
A refreshing, cool breeze dissipated, dispelling the sweltering summer morning heat.
"..."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei froze, their feet stomping to the ground.
Even in that state, they could still forcibly redirect their attack?
"What terrifying control..." Yue Guan exclaimed.
As the possessor of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum martial spirit and a Titled Douluo, he knew firsthand how difficult it was to redirect such a high-speed attack just before impact.
Take his Petal Flying Knife, for example; if he had been in that state, he would have been unable to stop!
"So, you three, can you explain?"
Nangong Yi's voice brought Hu Liena and the other two, who had been stunned, back to their senses.
"First, it was you, leading me down this small path." Nangong Yi looked at the embarrassed Hu Liena.
"Then there were these two idiots, shouting those lame slogans, robbing me?"
"I can't even afford food, and you're robbing me?"
"Robbery for what?"
"Sex?"
"..."
"Not that I can't..." Hu Liena muttered.
He's so handsome now, won't he be incredibly handsome when he grows up?
"Actually, it was a misunderstanding. We were just joking, seriously!" Hu Liena assured.
"Yeah, I believe it." Nangong Yi nodded.
Yan hadn't shown any hostility at all, and when he appeared, he hadn't even activated his martial spirit. He didn't even take it seriously after being shot in the head twice in a row. He only used his offensive spirit skill, Granite, for defense, like he was playing with a child.
Xie Yue was completely idle the entire time, watching Yan get sent flying, and just watching the fun from the sidelines. No, even when Yan was knocked unconscious, he was still smiling, and it was obvious even through his mask!
The soul power of these three people is higher than his, and, with three soul rings of yellow, yellow and purple, these three people are already soul masters.
If it were real, at the beginning when he couldn't use the Heavenly Crystal, Xie Yue, who was good at both strong and sensitive attacks, could easily take him down.
After all, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of speed, strength, and soul power level. Of course, after combining with the Heavenly Crystal, it was another matter.
"We were really just joking!"
Seeing that the Heavenly Crystal Sword in Nangong Yi's hand began to condense cold air again, Hu Liena and the other two quickly raised their hands in surrender.
They came to trick him, not to fight. It's not certain whether they can win. Even if they can, three people ganging up on a child?
Do they still have any shame?
"But I'm not going to joke now." Nangong Yi held the Heavenly Crystal horizontally in front of him.
"Robbery! Hand over all the valuables on you!"
