Chapter 2259: Able to take a hit (2)
After the three strikes landed, the transformed Ye Zhongming's massive staff in his hand vanished. He did not continue attacking but instead retreated backward. Because of his enormous size, two steps carried him far away.
On the other side, the Stone Dragon's draconic incantation was ready. From amidst the rubble of stone balls, a slender dragon phantom suddenly rose, like a python, and coiled around Kunzuo, who was still trapped in the stone pile. Caught within the twisting coils was the peak expert, drenched in blood.
Earlier, Kunzuo had one arm disabled and one eye blinded. Now, the rings' bindings had disappeared, but his skull was somewhat sunken, one ear was gone, and the other hand was bent at least a hundred and twenty degrees while the arm hung down; a horrifying twist. Meanwhile, the wound on his left abdomen had been enlarged to the point that his pelvis was visible.
On his back were countless incomplete circular indentations, the marks left by the stone balls, now unrecognizable in their original form.
But no one believed Kunzuo was dead.
Because at this moment, those symbols were still in the sky, holding back the inverted stone spike mountain, while the rest of the symbols had spread to both sides of his body, clearly resisting the constricting force of the dragon phantom.
It was clear that there were fewer symbols than when Kunzuo had first summoned them; the others must have been consumed by various attacks.
After delivering one claw strike, the Stone Dragon had used three abilities in succession, and its energy was running low. Its originally substantial body began to fade. But seeing that its target, though battered, was still holding on, under Ye Zhongming's control it summoned its remaining strength and began chanting another draconic incantation.
The blue-skinned man, no longer maintaining the rings, had long since raised his staff. In front of him, two water-element warriors, roughly his own height and wielding azure weapons, had already appeared. As he meditated, a third water-element warrior materialized.
