Chapter 398 Rebirth Before Death
The temperature around Duan Zhenglin dropped to the freezing point!
The ice spears were packed so densely that he didn't even have a place to dodge. These ice spears covered every angle of 360 degrees, not giving him any space to escape.
He clenched his sickle tightly with both hands. The first wave of spears had already caused his body to be covered in wounds. His stamina had been greatly reduced, along with his strength.
The situation before him was a sure-death situation.
However, he unexpectedly burst out with a shocking desire to survive. He swung his sickle and let out a roar, frantically slashing at the ice spears around him.
Lu Yu, who was standing in the distance, felt that this guy was waiting for something. This must be why he was struggling so hard not to die.
His desire to live was surprisingly high. Faced with such powerful suppression, any other opponent would have despaired and given up resisting.
However, he knew that he couldn't fight all these ice spears. He also knew he would die without a doubt, but he still struggled.
Lu Yu was starting to feel curious about what he planned to do here!
At this moment, the ice spears from all directions converged at one point, aimed at Duan Zhenglin.
Swish, swoosh, swish!
The first ice spear hit Duan Zhenglin's left arm. His arm was completely frozen when it came into contact with the ice spear, and it shattered his left arm as it went through.
Duan Zhenglin's left arm was turned into crushed ice as it fell to the ground.
He didn't even have time to scream before the ice spears came at him.
The second ice spear pierced through his chest, the third through his shoulder, the fourth through his right shoulder, and the fifth through his knee.
He stopped swinging his sickle, and both of his arms were crushed by ice spears. He had completely lost the strength and ability to fight.
He was on the verge of losing his life and was about to fall to the ground, but because the ice spears shot from all directions pierced through his body in a criss-cross pattern, they kept him from falling over.
Duan Zhenglin, who was held in place by countless ice spears, was left with only his upper body.
His right arm was also completely gone, and the sickle was thrown to the side.
His brain was the only part of his body that could function normally. When he swung his scythe, he only managed to shatter the ice spear shot at his head.
At that moment, Duan Zhenglin had become a disabled person. His four limbs were gone, and he could not even move.
Jiang Lengyue landed on the ground and walked toward him.
"How do you feel now?"
She walked over and looked at him.
Duan Zhenglin was wearing a black face cloth, and only his pair of dark eyes were exposed.
He glared at Jiang Lengyue and spoke fiercely, "I've completed my mission, and you're going to die soon! I won't lose anything even if I die now!"
Swoosh!
The next thing he knew, an ice blade flew in front of him, its tip aimed at his pupil.
"Tell me, how did you know about the situation in the stargazing tower?"
Jiang Lengyue knew that this fellow must have found out about the recent seal loosening. As a result, he came over specifically to cause trouble and remove the weakened seal.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have barged in to destroy an indestructible tower, even if it cost him his life.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Lengyue. "I don't need to tell you this. Instead of wasting time with me, why don't you pay more attention to your surroundings?"
Just as Jiang Lengyue was about to control the ice blade to pierce into his brain, she suddenly sensed something was amiss in her surroundings.
She hurriedly looked at the ruins of the stargazing tower not far away. The ruins seemed to be erupting with powerful energy!
This energy caused her to feel a chill. It surged toward the sky like an invisible fountain.
This energy was impossibly dense, even much higher than the energy density on the ninth floor of the stargazing tower!
Jiang Lengyue frowned as she still couldn't figure out what was happening. But there was a very high possibility that the ancient beast that was sealed was about to appear!
Lu Yu also looked at the ruins of the stargazing tower and was shocked to see blue smoke rising from the ruins into the sky.
Due to his Eye of the Dragon God, he could easily see the existence of the energy. To others, this energy was invisible to the naked eye and could only be felt.
"It's really about to break the seal and come out!" Lu Yu said to himself.
"What's about to come out?"
"Is the sealed monster about to break out? That's bad."
"We should have expected this when the seal was already loose. The sealed monster is bound to appear now that the entire tower has been destroyed!"
The people beside Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, especially the few instructors. Some of them had expressions of despair on their faces after experiencing the nightmare that was today.
Just as everyone was marveling at the strange phenomenon before their eyes, Duan Zhenglin's body began to emit a purple light after being pierced by countless ice spears.
The ice on his body melted and was gradually removed.
At that moment, his two arms miraculously began to grow from the broken stumps. New arms sprouted, nearly identical to the original.
It wasn't just his arms but also his thighs, knees, shoulders, and all the other parts of his body that had been removed. All of them were quickly restored at this moment.
Jiang Lengyue noticed Duan Zhenglin's condition, and her eyes widened.
He had just been beaten into a pulp but could recover so quickly, and even his broken limbs had completely healed!
She knew that it was impossible for Duan Zhenglin to do that. He did not have any healing skills that were this powerful!
Duan Zhenglin's entire body was renewed as if he had reassembled a new one.
His new muscles and new limbs had grown out, and he wasn't used to them at first. He raised his hands, turned them around, and looked at them before smiling in satisfaction.
"I already said I wouldn't die, but that can't be said for you guys!"
He looked over at Jiang Lengyue.
At that moment, Jiang Lengyue finally understood why Duan Zhenglin kept pressing on without using more of his Dark Star talent. He could have used his innate talent to absorb at least 30% of the ice spears shot at him previously!
However, he didn't do so and refrained from using any Dark Star skills.
Jiang Lengyue was suddenly enlightened after realizing he had been waiting for this opportunity. When the ruins of the stargazing tower started to leak energy, he would activate the Dark Star to absorb the energy and instantly heal all his wounds and severed limbs!
Lu Yu opened his Eye of the Dragon God to look at him. He was shocked to find that this guy's attributes in all aspects had increased even more!
Duan Zhenglin was even more powerful than before!
