Chapter 1246: Reminiscence
All of a sudden, Qu Lin let loose a high-pitched screech, and countless specks of golden light appeared over the exoskeleton on his back.
A string of dull thuds then rang out as all of the specks of golden light transformed into sharp, golden spikes, much like the spikes of a porcupine, serving as a defense mechanism against Han Li's relentless barrage.
In response, Han Li stopped in his tracks, then made a grabbing motion with one hand to summon nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, all of which fused as one in mid-air to form a giant, golden sword that was over a thousand feet in length.
With an almighty swing, the sword came crashing down onto Qu Lin's back, sending him flying while also shattering most of the golden spikes on his back.
Blood came gushing uncontrollably out of his mouth, while his spirit domain collapsed violently.
On the surface, he appeared unharmed, and it seemed like he had been able to withstand the blow, but the Cardinal Heavenly Lightning in Han Li's Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords was not to be underestimated.
Gold Devouring Immortals were renowned for their near-indestructible bodies, but they were particularly vulnerable once their physical defenses were breached.
Qu Lin was already carrying some internal injuries, and those injuries were instantly exacerbated by the influx of Cardinal Heavenly Lightning, throwing his immortal spiritual power circulation into a state of disarray, and that was why he was no longer able to maintain his spirit domain.
A sense of despair began to well up in his heart, but he wasn't going to give up so easily, and he fought to stabilize the chaotic immortal spiritual power in his body as he prepared for a counterattack.
However, right at this moment, a ball of golden light came descending from the sky, falling upon him before he had a chance to take any evasive measures.
Enshrouded within the golden light, he was instantly immobilized, as if he had fallen into a pit of quicksand.
