Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 534

Clang! It was the sound of a metallic collision!

Chui Yim was sent flying backwards by Yuen Ho once again, and this time, he crashed into a huge rock, shattering it.

On the other hand, Yuen Ho was thrown back three steps. Countless needles covered his original spot with a fist-sized yellow bee puppet hovering in the air, abdomen cracked open.

Huff… “Are you okay?” Kam Chin Kee landed next to Chui Yim, who was touching his chest in great shock.

Chui Yim thought he would be doomed when Yuen Ho suddenly appeared in front of him a couple of seconds ago. Who could have guessed that Yuen Ho’s strength would be his body coordination when he wielded such a ferocious spear?

When the spear’s tip touched him, he even believed he would be pierced through. But luckily, it did not happen. It was only now that Chui Yim realised that the unassuming black metallic vest on him was made of uncountable tiny metal pieces, rather than a huge metal piece. This helped spread out the force exerted by Yuen Ho’s spear to the rest of his upper body.

In other words, Porcupine distributed the impact of Yuen Ho’s attack to a larger surface area – to the other parts of the armour, reducing the force.

Yuen Ho wore a complicated look. When his spear reached Chui Yim, he felt like he was exerting force on a piece of cotton rather than metal.

“What an amazing treasure.” His gaze landed on Chui Yim’s armour.

“And what an amazing technique.” Chui Yim stood up, wiping the dust off his butt.

Yuen Ho nodded, admitting it. “It’s my self-created gliphility – River Dance.”

Yuen Ho was not an innate heart chamber cultivator, but an innate left leg chamber cultivator instead. His second chamber was the right arm chamber, and finally, for his third chamber, he broke through the heart chamber, successfully picking up Blood Meridians. Before that though, his strengths were speed and body techniques.

The River Dance gliphility was grade three. It wasn’t considered speedy, but the weird twists and turns and unexpected movements made it difficult for the opponents to predict the cultivator’s next move, just like a flowing river.

“Let’s continue.” Yuen Ho picked up the spear, and energliph movement was seen on the dragon gliphs of the spear.

Dragon Form was a high-grade gliph and the core gliph of the Tyrant Dragon Spear, much different from Chor Sing’s Breaking Wind Rod that Chui Yim once saw. The gliph carved on the Breaking Wind Rod was mostly offensive, while Tyrant Dragon Spear’s core gliph was meant to boost the user’s power.

Dragon Form boosted the user’s speed, strength, and reaction time. Adding on the impacts of the Attention and Feather-Light gliphs, the activated Blood Meridians, Yuen Ho’s own strength, and River Dance, Yuen Ho’s speed might have been the fastest amongst all three-chambered gliphers!

Whoosh…

He moved at the speed of lightning, turning into many afterimages. These afterimages all held a Tyrant Dragon Spear, pointing toward the front!

This was not a simple dance, but a battle technique made of different boosts!

Dragon’s Ensemble! It was as if numerous Yuen Hos were coming at the teens at the same time.

Chui Yim remained still, while Kam Chin Kee took a step forward, just like a mountain coming down on them, and then that indeed happened.

Boom!!

A Cerulean Mountain landed, enveloping the teens.

Boom boom boom boom… The spear landed on the Cerulean Mountain to no avail. At the same time, a red shadow was seen shining through the mountain. This was no actual mountain to begin with but a gliph, and gliphs could change according to the cultivator’s whim. It could be a huge mountain to shield them from rain and shine, or an illusion that they could move in and out of freely.

Chui Yim walked out of the mountain with huge determination, seemingly not affected in the slightest by Yuen Ho’s afterimages, and Yuen Ho was badly shocked. He never imagined that the Cerulean Mountain would be able to successfully block his Dragon’s Ensemble.

Moreover, Chui Yim dashed out with great determination. He did not hesitate in the slightest and moved at a rapid speed towards Yuen Ho, too fast for the other party to react.

However, having grown up in a war zone, Yuen Ho was still able to perform gliphilities in time. He did not send his spear forward but used the end of it to attack Chui Yim instead. Being a long weapon, Yuen Ho followed the rule of “the longer the weapon, the stronger it is,” yet he was currently using the spear’s butt like a short rod!

This was another gliphility created by Yuen Yan Hou, which took many lives and defeated many on the battlefield – Swinging Dragon Tail!

The spear was just like the dragon, thus, the butt was its tail! The dragon was swinging its tail at incredible speed currently, and this was the only gliphility that Yuen Ho could perform in such a short period of time. He strongly believed that even with Chui Yim’s odd armour, he would at least be sent flying if not seriously injured!

As if unable to react, Chui Yim dashed forward! Boom!

The spear’s butt landed on Chui Yim’s left ribs as expected, but instead of flying off, he stood in front of Yuen Ho, his veins showing from his bald head.

An azure gliph covered his upper body from his left ribs, spreading towards all parts of his body like energy.

Chui Yim was similarly surprised at this sight. He finally understood why there were so many energliph needles in the armour.

True Domineer, a gliphility that injured oneself before their opponent as the cultivator would need to digest the enemy’s energliph before they could use it for themselves.

Currently, the fine energliph needles had connected with his meridians, and when he activated True Domineer, the energy would only be directed into his body after it was dispersed, mitigating the pain on a large scale!

Chui Yim smiled at Yuen Ho widely, while the other had goosebumps staring at Chui Yim like he was a terrifying monster. He realised the scary energliph from Chui Yim had a huge sense of familiarity… because it was his own energliph, and the other had taken it for himself using using some method!

Chui Yim did not activate the energliph as he did not have the chance to do so within such a short range. So, he sent a punch out!

“Argh!” Yuen Ho covered his chest with his left palm subconsciously.

Smack! Crack!

There was a clear sound of bones breaking. Yuen Ho’s left arm drooped weakly, and there was also a dent in his chest as blood gushed out of his mouth. Despite being so badly injured, there was no trace of giving up, only strong intent to battle in his eyes.

That was because he was Yuen Ho, the baby boy born in a war zone. He had suffered way more serious injuries compared to this.

He flew backwards but was still holding the Tyrant Dragon Spear tightly with his right hand. Luckily he was a three-chambered glipher, so thanks to his Unending Lifeforce, it was unlikely he would be killed unless he was killed in one attack. It was difficult to kill any glipher above the two-chamber state as they had amazing speed of recovery and great tolerance for injuries.

As long as he could stop himself from flying through the air, he could counterattack… Huh? Yuen Ho subconsciously looked up at the sky, but there was no sky for him to see.

There should be an evening glow, but why is the world pitch black now?

A mountain-like shadow landed from the skies onto him hard! Holding onto the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, Kam Chin Kee controlled the Great Cerulean Mountain gliph with his mental state boosted to the ten-gliphic to suppress Yuen Ho under the mountain. It was just like the final straw that broke the camel's back.
