Fang Yi's spear arced through the air like a meteor before stabbing into the black eye at the top of the pyramid. Fang Yi deactivated the frozen world of gray, and the eye continued shooting out its purple laser—but a peak-grade armament-type soulshard was now embedded in its opening.
The laser exploded, causing a purple explosion at the top of the pyramid.
Fang Yi smiled as the pyramid began to flash with red light, as though some alert had begun to sound. Black smoke poured out of the pyramid and rose into the sky. Fang Yi recognized this smoke as the same smoke that had emerged from the corpses of the black spirits.
A large flock of black spirits emerged from the smoke, and purple flames lit up all around the desert. Tens of thousands of black spirits appeared in the air and surrounded Fang Yi, as though they were a huge battalion of soldiers tasked with killing him.
Fang Yi raised his arm up high. The peak-grade spear which he had thrown was now summoned back into his palm. He imbued his spear with the power of wind and lightning. Then, with a low shout, Fang Yi dashed forward with his spear in hand,
Fang Yi launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the skies. Fang Yi thrust his spear forward, so quickly it left dozens of afterimages in all directions.
Black bandages filled the air as Fang Yi's surroundings flared with light.
Gusts of black sand filled the air. Lightning crackled at the center of the black spirits, but when the smoke and sand cleared, Fang Yi was nowhere to be seen. A figure darted among the ranks of black spirits, generating wind and lightning where he went.
Huge swathes of black spirits were pierced through by lightning, causing them to dissipate into black smoke.
"[Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"
Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward. The dragon of winds stirred up an entire cloud of black sand and turned into a black dragon. The storm tiger lit up the entire desert with lightning.
The two beasts tore apart the spirits and made a path forward. Fang Yi ran into the distance, killing his way toward the black pyramid.
Another change occurred as Fang Yi grew closer to the pyramid. Red light shone from its base, like a protective cordon that connected straight into abyssal depths. Huge black bandages emerged from beyond the red light and shot into the skies as though they were feelers of the black pyramid. The bandages deflected Fang Yi's attacks and shot toward him.
"[Heaven's Judgment]!" Wind howled and lightning flashed through the skies. The purple lightning lit up the black desert, and the wind blew black sand into the sky. The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that seemed to be able to penetrate space.
Fang Yi tore a hole in the bandages that shielded the pyramid even as the bandages slammed against the ground, generating huge waves of sand that shook the entire desert.
Swathes of black spirits, unfortunate enough to be caught up in the attack, were smashed into the sand; the pyramid's attacks didn't distinguish between allies and enemies.
The remaining bandages struck at Fang Yi, who evaded the attacks with [Floating Clouds]. Using the flat side of the bandages as platforms, Fang Yi continuously jumped, dashed, ran, and kicked off the bandages, slicing them apart even as he dodged their attacks.
The black bandages corkscrewed toward Fang Yi, who dove between the gaps in the pyramid's attack with [Floating Clouds], simultaneously changing his direction abruptly in mid-air and striking at the attacking bandages to deflect their blows.
Lightning sparked around him as the corkscrewing bandages drew close.
Fang Yi continued to spin in the air as the nearby bandages gathered together and formed a huge corkscrew, which shot straight at Fang Yi.
"[Floating Clouds]!" Fang Yi morphed into lightning for mere moments, and the wind swelled around him. contemporary romance
The black corkscrew's attack barely missed Fang Yi's true body and struck at his afterimages.
Fang Yi had constructed mirrors of wind, which reflected light from his lightning to generate false illusions of himself, a technique he had developed after his fight with Zhang Lie.
During that fight, Zhang Lie had made use of illusions to great effect, and Fang Yi swore that he wouldn't fall prey to such tricks again. As a result, he worked hard on developing this extension to his footwork technique in order to understand the basis behind what Zhang Lie had done, and then to emulate it with the tools available to him. That would grant him comprehensive knowledge of such techniques, which he would be able to use against Zhang Lie in the future.
.
With this technique, Fang Yi shot even closer to the black pyramid. He thrust forward with his spear, generating sparks as it struck the surface of the pyramid. All Fang Yi's spear managed to do was leave a faint scratch on its surface, causing him to frown. He stepped on the smooth outer wall of the pyramid, wind and lightning gathering by his feet.
Fang Yi dashed up the pyramid. The exterior of the pyramid was hard and sturdy, and Fang Yi's spear was unable to do much damage against it.
However, there was a crack in that exterior: at the very top of the pyramid, where the eye-laser had been. Fang Yi's attack had left a gaping hole from which he could enter.
The black bandages naturally tried to stop him, but they were unable to do so. No matter how they attacked, Fang Yi was able to evade with [Floating Clouds]. Just as he was about to reach the apex, the sand in the desert began to shift. Black sand gathered near the base of the pyramid, forming a gigantic whirlpool.
Sand suddenly burst out of the tip of the pyramid, and a gigantic lifeform emerged from its midst. It was a peak-grade sand scarab—no, from the aura it gave off, it had to be no less than disaster-grade!
The disaster-grade scarab was over ten times the size of the peak-grade variety, with eight beady eyes that gave off light in the night. All eight were staring straight at Fang Yi. The scarab scuttled quickly up the exterior of the pyramid. Even though it had just been at the base moments ago, it caught up to Fang Yi in a flash...
