Apotheosis

Zen gritted his teeth. He knew the Shade Stone liquid wasn't indestructible, but at this point, he had no choice.

The Shade Stone liquid covered his back, like a thin sheet. If he was attacked with something that had high penetrating strength, it was possible it'd be able to pierce through it.

Suddenly, a blue light shot at Zen. Eyes narrowed, he desperately searched for a solution.

Because he was trapped in the hurricane, his control over his bodily movement was extremely limited. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to dodge the blue light at all.

"Shade Stone liquid, condensing!"

Since he couldn't avoid the light, his last resort was to face it head-on.

The Shade Stone liquid, which was scattered all over his back, suddenly gathered in one spot on his back.

After the Shade Stone liquid condensed, its defensive power doubled as well.

'She's targeting the center of my back!'

Zen gathered the condensed Shade Stone liquid at the center of his back.

"Bang!"

As soon as the arrow hit him, Zen was enveloped in a dazzling blue light.

Both Lesly and Brylee smiled. In their eyes, Zen wasn't strong enough to withstand an attack from the Heavenly South Bow.

However, to their surprise, after the blue light dissipated, Zen was still alive!

They froze in shock. Exchanging stunned glances, they were at a loss at what to do next.

"W-what?!"

Brylee stuttered, unable to conceal her shock.

The Heavenly South Bow was her most powerful weapon.

Moreover, it cost a lot just to use such a powerful Other Shore Token. If they had known any other way to deal with Zen, Brylee wouldn't have considered using the Heavenly South Bow.

And yet, Zen had managed to survive Brylee's supposed trump card.

"Ahem!"

Zen coughed. With a frown, he spat out the golden blood.

The blood dispersed in the whirling air quickly.

In the end, the condensed Shade Stone liquid did save his life, but it didn't spare him from some internal injuries.

Fortunately, his injuries weren't too bad. He knew he'd recover in no time.

However, the hurricane kept on blowing, rendering him helpless. After all, the two women still targeted him. If they shot a few more arrows at him, he'd be done for.

Meanwhile, Lesly and Brylee also considered their options.

"How could the Oneness Sky Palace have such a superhuman warrior?" Lesly muttered in a low voice.

After Brylee re

rose with the wind, easily dodging the two blue rays. Suddenly, he froze in the air, and locked eyes with the two demon women.

Indeed, Brylee and Lesly could fly in this hurricane, but they could only fly downwind. They couldn't even stop in the wind. After all, the hurricane's power reached thousands of divine megatons!

As Zen suddenly stopped in the air, the two demon women, who were flying with the wind, were headed straight at him with incredible speed.

There was no time for them to react or even try to change their direction. As they closed in on Zen, the two women's fear-filled eyes were reflected in Zen's long sword light.

Zen slowly raised his sword, and swung it to the left and then right in a flash.

The two demon women passed by Zen, as though nothing happened.

In a matter of seconds, Lesly and Brylee had flown past Zen around three miles. They flew with the wind, motionless, shock still seared on their faces.

"Puff!"

On each of their delicate necks, a line of blood appeared, and then slowly, their heads were peeled off their bodies.

As the hurricane continued to blow, their heads flew farther and farther away from their beheaded bodies, fear still engraved in their lifeless eyes.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The hurricane still blew like mad, as though unaffected by the fact that a gruesome battle had just taken place.

Zen stood still, letting the powerful hurricane blow towards him.

But now, Zen's body was covered with an invisible thin film. As the hurricane blew black smog to him, it just whizzed past, with Zen remaining unaffected.
