Super Fusion

Chapter 21: A Ghostly Encounter

With a laugh, Yu Ze swayed slightly, and a strange aura rushed towards Xu Yu.

In Xu Yu's eyes, this sway seemed simple, but for some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling that the slender figure in front of him had transformed into a giant snake.

The snake's body was firmly coiled on the ground, while its ferocious head hovered in the air, seemingly poised to unleash a devastating attack at any moment.

Along with this feeling, Xu Yu's sense of danger intensified, as if every pore on his body had exploded, and his heart pounded at an unprecedented rate.

"What's going on? This guy…"

"Hiss~"

Just as Xu Yu's nerves were on edge, the snake in front of him suddenly moved. After a remarkably realistic hiss, Xu Yu felt a blur before his eyes, and a gust of wind, sharp as a blade, instantly brushed against his cheek from several meters away.

Fast!

Too fast!

The opponent's explosive power in that instant was truly terrifying. So fast, he barely sensed the extreme danger before the fierce attack struck his neck.

"Pathetic!"

At the same time, Yu Ze's contemptuous words rang out in the stairwell.

A guy who knew nothing of defense, even if he wasn't an ordinary person, was truly pathetic in the face of a master!

"Smack!"

Before the words were finished, a low, resounding blow struck Xu Yu's shoulder.

Simultaneously, a thin, invisible aura surged from Xu Yu's shoulder, then instantly dissipated. At first glance, it seemed as if the aura had been crushed to dust the moment it appeared by the attack.

But only Xu Yu knew that the opponent had instilled a profound sense of dread before the attack, yet when the blow actually landed, he himself suffered no injury whatsoever.

Of course, it wasn't that he felt nothing at all. It was as if an infant had gently stroked his neck with its fingertips.

The jade, imbued with spiritual energy, could even block bullets. Although Yu Ze, a master of early-stage cultivation, possessed extraordinary strength, it was clear that his attack was no match for the power of a bullet!

Therefore, when he discovered that his target seemed completely unaffected, remaining motionless, Yu Ze's previously contemptuous smile instantly froze.

"Huh?"

In the stalemate, Yu Ze even forgot to withdraw his right hand from Xu Yu's neck, standing there blankly half a step in front of Xu Yu, clearly stunned.

Xu Yu, however, hadn't yet recovered from the terrifying burst of power from his opponent and also stood there blankly.

But only for a moment, and then both of them exclaimed in surprise, separating themselves with a whoosh.

Taking another step, stopping a few meters in front of Xu Yu, Yu Ze looked at his right hand with considerable confusion. What had just happened? He hit him! That guy didn't feel a thing?

This is unbelievable! He knew he'd hit the guy's neck, a vital spot!

After the initial shock, Xu Yu immediately locked onto a wisp of spiritual energy in his mind and issued the command to fuse it.

Originally, he planned to save this spiritual energy to fuse more jade stones, but he hadn't expected to encounter so many unexpected events and dangers in less than half a day.

Now, although he wasn't afraid of the opponent's attacks for the time being, he clearly knew that the warm current flowing within the jade pendant had noticeably weakened after the opponent's attack.

Yu Ze, after all, was a cultivation expert; a single strike couldn't compare to the power of a bullet, but if he continued attacking, he would definitely break through his jade stone defenses.

Therefore, his only option now was to use spiritual energy to enhance his strength.

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and the moment the fusion command was issued, the spiritual energy was completely fused into Xu Yu's body.

Then, the offensive Yu Ze had just displayed, and the posture of him coiled on the ground like a snake, poised to pounce at any moment, were all drawn into his mind by the dispersed spiritual energy.

In an instant, Xu Yu felt a darkness before his eyes, as if his entire being had been transformed into a long snake by the spiritual energy. Even all the remaining memories of snakes in his mind were mobilized, fragmented into countless pieces, and began to surge into his body.

Fusion!

In just a few seconds, all the impressions of snakes in his mind, all the fragments of memory, were forcibly fused into the depths of his soul, forming a complete picture.

It was as if he himself had already transformed into a snake, lying prone on the ground, ready to launch the most ferocious counterattack at any moment.

And in front of him was a human who was about to kill him, but whom he had now included as the target of his counterattack.

"Hiss~"

After the fusion, Xu Yu's previously stiff body suddenly swayed, like a serpent's tail, and in a flash, he coiled up on the spot, just like Yu Ze had done before.

A sinister aura rushed straight forward.

In an instant, Yu Ze, who was still in shock and uncertainty, was jolted awake. Then, seeing Xu Yu's transformation, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Snake Form?!"

What a joke! What the other party was now using was the Snake Form from Xingyi Quan!

Although his Snake Form was only half as similar at this moment, and there was still a noticeable stiffness and unfamiliarity in the opponent's back-and-forth limb movements!

But when the opponent's serpentine demeanor and body movements combined, it had a somewhat semblance of authenticity.

In a daze, a thought suddenly flashed through Yu Ze's extremely shocked mind: this guy was stealing his Snake Form.

Although the idea was utterly absurd—after all, in the midst of a battle, if one of them suddenly tried to learn the other's martial arts, no one would believe it, it would be suicidal—

the problem was that someone had actually done it, and after just one strike, had mastered the serpentine form to a degree of 40-50% accuracy? This truly left Yu Ze completely dumbfounded.

What shocked Yu Ze even more was that the opponent's 40-50% accurate serpentine form, in just a few swaying movements, was becoming visibly fluid and realistic!

And what about that strike just now? Did he actually hit his opponent?

Taking a deep breath, Yu Ze almost choked on the cold air. If it weren't for the bright sunlight, he might have thought he was seeing a ghost. This was just too outrageous!
