Chapter 64 Battle against Krillin
"Zen Mind? Divine Power Within Three Feet!"
"Zen Awakening? The Art of Spiritual Evasion!"
At the critical moment, Shang Yun quickly used "Zen Mind - Three-Foot Divine Light" to prevent himself from being affected by any emotion, calmed his mind, and quickly used "Zen Awakening - Spirit Evasion Technique" to dodge Krillin's Qi Yuan Slash once again.
“Disappeared…disappeared…where did he go?” Yamcha was greatly surprised to see Shang Yun disappear in an instant.
"There!" Tien Shinhan's three eyes widened as he spotted Shang Yun appearing a hundred meters away in the sky.
"Wow...that's amazing! He didn't even notice. How did he do that?" Dumpling looked incredulous.
"Was it too fast?" Yamcha muttered to himself.
"No! This should be one of Shang Yun's combat techniques, which can be activated instantly to dodge danger when encountering danger." Tien Shinhan explained thoughtfully, "When we fought against Piccolo Daimaō together, Shang Yun used the same move, but I didn't expect him to dodge to a greater distance."
"Moreover, Shang Yun held back. I remember he can control where he reappears after dodging. What if he appeared behind Krillin while Krillin was feeling smug and thought he had succeeded..." Tien Shinhan's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat as he said this. Shang Yun is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Ah!" Yamcha and Gyoza were also shocked by the scene described by Tien Shinhan, and their backs went cold.
After finding Shang Yun's location, Krillin actually grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, trying to control the Qi Yuan Slash to change its direction again.
Krillin was now drenched in sweat, and judging from his ferocious expression, his mental strength had clearly reached its limit. The energy slash traced an even larger arc in the air, flying towards Shang Yun once more. Krillin collapsed to the ground, exhausted from the excessive drain on his mental energy.
Seeing this, Shang Yun also wanted to try out his new combat technique. Shang Yun suddenly widened his eyes, his gaze bursting with a sharp light, and he shouted, "Zen Intent - Yuan Light Shield Slash!" He flicked his right hand downwards, his five fingers spread wide, and the surrounding air seemed to begin to condense. Strands of light seeped from his palm, gradually converging to form a Yuan Light Shield that emitted a soft halo. On the surface of the shield, there were faint Zen-like patterns.
Shang Yun flicked his right hand forward again, sending the Yuan Light Shield flying towards the incoming Qi Yuan Slash. The two vortexes collided, emitting intense sparks, and after a moment, the Qi Yuan Slash was deflected.
"Oh no! Krillin! Get out of the way!" Just as everyone was watching with great interest, Tien Shinhan suddenly shouted, and the others quickly looked at Krillin.
The Qi Yuan Slash, after being deflected by the Yuan Guang Shield, changed direction, but its trajectory led directly towards Krillin, who was slumped on the ground. Krillin was suffering from a splitting headache and was unable to dodge, so he could only clench his fists and cross them in front of his chest in desperation.
Just as everyone rushed to rescue Krillin, Shang Yun also saw Krillin's predicament. He clenched his right fist, extended his index and middle fingers, and manipulated the Yuan Guang Shield to fly towards Krillin at an even faster speed.
"what?!"
"Shang Yun! No!"
Tien Shinhan and the others thought Shang Yun wanted to use the Elemental Shield to knock away the Spirit Slash again, but the Spirit Slash was now less than three meters away from Krillin. Even if the Elemental Shield could catch up, the direction it would change after colliding again was uncertain!
"Ah!" Klin roared, gathering his energy in his arms to increase his defense.
In the blink of an eye, the Yuan Light Shield finally surpassed the Qi Yuan Slash.
"Yu!"
As soon as Shang Yun shouted, the Yuan Light Shield adjusted its posture and stood up. Just as the Qi Yuan Slash was about to make contact with Klin, it quickly inserted itself between the two and blocked Klin's path.
The Qi Yuan Slash, radiating a chilling light, collided with the Yuan Light Shield once more. The Yuan Light Shield, which had initially held the upper hand, began to tremble violently under the fierce impact of the Qi Yuan Slash. Fine cracks spread rapidly across the shield's surface like a spiderweb, and the Zen-inspired patterns twisted and deformed accordingly.
The edge of the Qi Yuan Slash rubbed against the Yuan Guang Shield, sparking countless tiny energy sparks. With each collision and friction, the light of the Qi Yuan Slash and the Yuan Guang Shield dimmed slightly, and the outlines of the two vortexes gradually blurred. From their originally clear, deadly disc shapes, they slowly twisted and deformed, their dazzling brilliance gradually fading.
As more energy was consumed, the rotation speed of the Qi Yuan Slash gradually slowed down, and finally, with a faint energy fluctuation, it completely dissipated into nothingness. At the same time, a crisp yet muffled loud bang was heard, and cracks instantly pierced through the entire Yuan Guang Shield. Light scattered everywhere, and fragments flew out like shattered glass, shimmering with residual light under the sunlight, before slowly dissipating into the air.
Everyone watched indifferently as the two vortexes gradually disappeared, feeling the lingering energy fluctuations in the air, unable to recover for a long time.
"Kling, are you alright?" Shang Yun landed beside Kling, helped him up, and asked about his injuries.
"Kling, how are you?"
"Kling, are you alright?"
At Shang Yun's reminder, everyone rushed over to check on Krillin. Fortunately, Krillin had only exhausted his mental energy and would recover after a short while of cultivation.
"Shang Yun, what was that move you just used? It looked so much like Krillin's Spirit Slash!" Seeing that Krillin was alright, Yamcha was relieved and turned to Shang Yun to ask the question that had been on his mind.
"I combined your Ki Blast technique with Krillin's Ki Slash technique, Tien Shinhan's Solar Flare, and some of my own insights to create this move, which is called Zen Intent - Elemental Light Shield Slash," Shang Yun explained with a chuckle.
"You're really amazing!" Yamcha had to admit that he had to admit Shang Yun's comprehension was impressive.
"Solar Fist? Why don't I see any characteristics of Solar Fist?" Chiaotzu looked at Tien Shinhan and asked Shang Yun.
"My Yuan Guang Shield can also self-destruct, causing damage while emitting a strong light similar to the Solar Flare," Shang Yun answered Jiaozi's question, but his eyes were looking at Tien Shinhan beside him.
"Hmph!" Tien Shinhan saw Shang Yun's gaze and didn't bother to pay him any attention, but he was still very impressed by the ingenuity of the Yuan Guang Shield.
"Let's have a friendly competition: Tianjin rice, Yamcha, and dumplings," Shang Yun suggested.
"I think I'd better give up. I can't even beat Krillin." Yamcha shook his head repeatedly.
"I won't fight either; your mental strength is stronger than mine," Dumpling also refused.
Everyone was staring at Tien Shinhan, who was getting annoyed by the stares. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and he glared at Shang Yun, saying, "Don't think that just because your fighting style completely counters mine, I won't dare to accept the challenge! Come on!"
After saying that, Tien Shinhan took a few steps forward and stared at Shang Yun with his three eyes. Shang Yun smiled slightly, stood up, and squinted at Tien Shinhan's three eyes. The surrounding air became silent for a moment, as if it were about to freeze.
