Chapter 1545 - 1440: Taking Advantage of the Weakness
In the midst of excruciating pain, Ji Yue’Er couldn’t help but grit her teeth, and in her daze, she saw the Stone Giant walking slowly towards her.
Its arms have not yet grown, still incomplete, but its massive mouth opened, with a round orb that floated inside like a green jewel.
The orb was pure and flawless, containing immense power.
"Stone Heart!" Ji Yue’Er exclaimed in surprise.
She vaguely understood that it was with the Stone Heart that the Stone Giant had used its Spiritual Technique to harm her.
"So the Stone Giant can wield Spiritual Magic! But it requires the Stone Heart to activate!" This astonishing discovery didn’t bring Ji Yue’Er any joy.
Because the Stone Giant was looming imminently, in this moment of crisis, what could she do?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Despite the distance, the Stone Giant reached her in just three steps.
It looked down domineeringly, casting a condescending gaze at Ji Yue’Er.
This annoying human has broken through the defenses three times already.
Previously, she managed to escape, but today, it could finally torture her!
Although the annoying elders of her sect forbid it from killing, breaking this human’s limbs shouldn’t be a problem, right?
With this thought, the Stone Giant let out a triumphant roar, and then its trained arms began to lengthen, returning to their previous form after a few breaths.
"Ah!" Amidst the loud roar, the Stone Giant’s fist crashed down toward Ji Yue’Er.
Seeing as the punch was about to turn Ji Yue’Er into pulp, at that moment, she furrowed her brows, and with a sharp glare in her eyes, two strands of Sword Qi powerful enough to destroy all things shot out from her gaze, striking the green orb in the Stone Giant’s mouth just as the fist descended.
"Owooh!" The Stone Giant let out a wail, retreating three steps, its entire face cracked and the area around its mouth charred and smoke-filled.
"Forcing me to use my trump card, Eyes Like Swords; it’s not unjust for you to lose by my hand..."
Ji Yue’Er’s thought had not yet faded when the Stone Giant’s battered figure abruptly steadied, and then, trembling, it walked over, its mouth’s green orb cracked but surprisingly not shattered!
"What!?" Ji Yue’Er was completely dazed. Despite clearly hitting the Stone Heart, how could this be the outcome?
The world only knows the Stone Heart is the Stone Giant’s weakness, but little do they understand that this weakness is incredibly resilient!
These words were once spoken by Elder Ji, and Ji Yue’Er hadn’t taken them to heart, but now she recalled them, finding them deeply ironic.
"So... it’s true, the Stone Giant isn’t dead, and my trump card has already been played. There’s no more way to defeat it. Am I to be humiliated by this beast today?"
Ji Yue’Er, having failed in her breakthrough three times, bore the pride of a favored daughter of heaven and long harbored disdain for the annoying Stone Giant.
Now, she had once again lost to the Stone Giant, even lacking the chance to escape.
What irony is this? How intolerable.
"Moo!" In contrast, the Stone Giant was much more excited.
It let out a roar, eyes glowing with anger and excitement.
Then, its giant hand descended toward Ji Yue’Er’s head.
It decided to thoroughly humiliate this human.
At this moment, Ji Yue’Er had no more aces up her sleeve.
In despair, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.
"Moo?"
Originally, its hand was already nearing Ji Yue’Er’s head, but at that moment, the Stone Giant sensed something unusual behind it.
It inexplicably became stunned—was there someone else?
There was someone in this damn sixth-layer space?
Who dared to risk death to come over?
The answer soon became apparent as the Stone Giant abruptly turned around to see a Conical Hat Man flying towards it.
The man’s body wasn’t large, but his momentum was overwhelming; from the Spiritual Qi surrounding him, it was clear he hadn’t reached the realm of flying, yet he flew entirely due to astonishing leg strength.
"Moo!" The Stone Giant let out an angry roar, intending to swat the man away.
Yet suddenly, the man shifted position in midair with a flick of his foot, dodging the Stone Giant’s swipe, while the Void Storage Ring on his finger flashed, throwing a strange stone.
The Stone Giant found this very odd—he was a stone, and with a Vajra Indestructible body, why would a human throw a stone at him?
Clang!
A dull thud sounded as the small stone struck the Stone Giant’s forehead, causing it no feeling; it merely stared at the Conical Hat Man in confusion.
"Oh my? Why won’t it go in?" The Conical Hat Man seemed very surprised, exclaiming.
"Go in? What is this human saying?" The Stone Giant became even more puzzled.
However, following the puzzlement came anger.
By any standard, this human’s actions were the greatest provocation.
As the guardian of this layer, the Stone Giant certainly had reason to be angry.
I stomped the ground, causing it to tremor, then my massive body approached the human as my palms slapped together.
Swoosh!
At the crucial moment, the Conical Hat Man flicked his foot and shot away like an arrow.
"Smack!" The Stone Giant’s palms clapped together, only to reveal no expected pulp when they parted.
It angrily lowered its head and found the Conical Hat Man had picked up the strange little stone and, after rolling over, sprinted toward the seventh layer.
"This damn human wants to escape? Moo moo moo!"
The Stone Giant understood, infuriated, roaring incessantly; again it opened its mouth, summoning forth the Stone Heart, ready to use Spirit Technique Secret Skills.
Yet just as it prepared to unleash green flames, the Stone Heart began to tremble fiercely, its cracks slowly expanding as the pain swept over the Stone Giant.
"Moo!" The Stone Giant almost went insane with rage, realizing its Stone Heart, while not completely shattered, was damaged irreparably, leaving no strength to release its skills.
By the time it woke to this realization, the Conical Hat Man had already entered the passage, disappearing!
The Stone Giant’s fight with the Conical Hat Man lasted less than ten seconds.
The entire process fell unavoidingly into Ji Yue’Er’s view.
Only after the Conical Hat Man left did she awaken from her stupor, her expression filled with incomparable anger: "That guy entered the seventh layer? Isn’t this stealing my credit?"
In retrospect, if she hadn’t injured the Stone Giant’s Stone Heart, how could that Conical Hat Man so easily enter the seventh layer?
Yet that guy clearly saw her, and did he even bother to acknowledge her?
I am your savior!
For the first time in her life, Ji Yue’Er felt angry due to grievance.
"When the sandpiper and the clam fight, it’s the fisher who benefits," this situation fell upon her, and Ji Yue’Er felt indescribably pained and aggrieved.
"Moo!"
It was the Stone Giant’s roar that snapped Ji Yue’Er back to reality.
She looked up to see the Stone Giant standing there, its rage even more terrifying than before!
