Chapter 1006: ‘Sand’

The end of the whip snapped towards Six Grains' back and the sand-like material abruptly flowed upwards to intercept it, but it acted too late. The Infernal Qi infused Tigerbriar raked across the mans back, tearing the mans robe and ripping up his skin. The robes he was wearing were powerful Magical Tools and not just normal clothing, but it showed not just the power infused into the attack, but also the superior quality of an actual Artifact in comparison. The large claw-like thorns of the whip tore up Six Grains back, but a whip was not the best weapon for penetration or cutting power. Up against a Nascent Soul, the best it could do from one strike was to cause terrible surface damage.

The defenses like flowing sand caught the whip and knocked it aside, stopping it from curling and wrapping around Six Grains body. The crack of the whip was not the real way it did its damage, the true danger was having it wrap around a target and then slowly tightening, cutting in with ever increasing pressure. The cracking attacks were only meant to harass and as a method to get it into close proximity with rapid speed. It would be even better if he could lure an enemy into grabbing hold of it and trying to tear it out of his hands.

There was also another purpose to this move, one which became apparent after Six Grains had knocked aside the end of the whip and pushed away the mid-section of it with a large wave of sand. The whip continued to strike from two different directions while the flowing sand-like shield rotated and swirled around Six Grains to intercept each of the attacks with ease. The man used the rice grains like a huge cape, sweeping it around his body over and over again. It made it very easy to defend his whole body, but moving so drastically was using up far more energy than earlier.

Six Grains stopped his rapid descent, realizing these strange looking heads werent just gross looking as he felt the cold building. He used his huge cloud to protect himself just in time for the flayed dragon heads to open their mouths and release a gout of flames towards him. The flames battered Six Grains weapons, but he realized the burning flames were very deceptive. It wasnt a single burst of extremely high temperature, nor was it a slow roasting. The flames covered a huge area, but they were mostly quite weak. There were actually a few hidden attacks within the shower of flame, burning projectiles that slammed against his defenses and tore a chunk of them away. These attacks were hidden by the rest of the flame making them extremely difficult to defend against.

This attack was the Winter Lotus technique infused with Infernal Qi. The strange heads released waves of cold as they gathered all the heat energy in the area, and then breathed fire as a smokescreen to cover the attacks of the seed pods which contained all that gathered heat energy. These waves of attacks couldnt last for long, but they covered a wide area. The Tigerbriar grew and covered a huge area simply so it could attack Six Grains from every direction, forcing the man into an all encompassing defense so he had to stop moving. These attacks couldnt last for long as they relied upon the heat gathering phase to condense the seed pods, but they didnt need to. They just had to buy him enough time for the two Infernal Banyan networks to meet up. They also surprised Six Grains as they were boosted by a different law than the previous attacks. This put the man off guard and made him more cautious which gave Sage all the time he needed for this second phase of the plan to be completed.

Down below, the lower Infernal Banyan finally met up with the upper one, the disgusting writhing and bloody tentacles intertwined, linking together and connecting the weakening upper portion with the vast reserve of energy down beneath the ground.

The seed pods started to run out, and Six Grains saw his chance, breaking out of the flaming encirclement by forming his rice weapon into a huge needle around himself. The giant lance shot out of the flames and smashed into the tentacles wrapped around the Spire. He passed through the Defensive Formation like it wasnt even there and a loud roar of elation rang out down below when the people saw their protector return with just a few rips on his robes.
