Chapter 20 Defeating Shi Yi
Looking at Shi An opposite him, Shi Yi's expression grew increasingly solemn. He re-examined his opponent, his eyes flashing as if he were analyzing Shi An's strength.
Similarly, Shi An was also observing Shi Yi, but his attention was more focused on Shi Yi's chest, where Shi Hao's Supreme Bone was located.
For a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze as the two confronted each other, and even the breeze seemed to stop.
After a long while, Shi Yi moved again. He was enveloped in light, his hair danced in the air, and two terrifying beams of light shone from his eyes, like cold lightning in a cold night or ghostly fire in an abyss, captivating the soul.
At this moment, he was like a god descending from the heavens, exuding inviolable majesty and holiness.
This time, he made no unnecessary movements. He simply raised his right hand slowly, pointing towards the sky. In the next instant, water mist enveloped his body, like ethereal clouds, carrying a slight chill.
The mist and the dazzling sunset intertwined and blended together, like a magnificent scroll spreading wildly across the sky and earth, instantly engulfing the entire world, as if it wanted to devour everything in it.
"Boom!"
At the same time, dark clouds quickly gathered above his head, like a huge black curtain, obscuring the light of the sky.
The thunder roared with earth-shattering force, like the roar of an ancient beast, shaking people's souls. Huge bolts of lightning, like dragons, weaved through the dark clouds, carrying earth-shattering power, and madly struck towards Shi An.
"The Rain Clan's secret technique?"
Seeing the lightning bolts striking from the sky, a glint flashed in Shi An's eyes. He then raised his hand and summoned a massive arc of electricity.
"Snap!"
Two arcs of electricity collided in the air, bursting forth with dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding space as if it were daytime.
Two powerful energies intertwined and collided in the air, eventually canceling each other out and turning into nothingness.
"Hmph, this is interesting."
Upon seeing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but snort coldly, but he wasn't surprised.
After their brief exchange, he realized that this guy was definitely an opponent he needed to take seriously.
Thinking this, Shi Yi moved again. His eyes suddenly opened, shooting out a terrifying and mysterious pattern. The pattern was like an ancient rune, containing endless mysteries and power.
At the same time, melodious yet majestic divine music resounded, as if it were celestial music from the ancient heavens, slowly unfolding like a soft veil, enveloping everything in front of us.
The scene was truly astonishing, as if the world was being created. The hazy light resembled the primordial chaos at the beginning of creation, surging and turbulent, as if boundless power was churning within it, inspiring awe and making one feel as if witnessing a creation spectacle that transcends time and space.
"Double pupils opening the heavens? You can do that now?"
This scene finally caused a change in Shi An's previously calm expression; Shi Yi's reaction at this moment was something he hadn't expected.
However, this only surprised him for a moment, and he was not nervous.
Although the Double Pupil Opening Heaven technique is powerful, Shi Yi's current strength is insufficient to unleash its full potential.
As expected, before the attack could reach Shi An, Shi Yi suddenly cried out in surprise and covered his eyes. At the same time, the strange phenomena in the sky also dissipated with the wind.
"It seems you haven't fully mastered this power yet."
Upon seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but smile faintly, and his voice carried a hint of mockery.
"Indeed, I have not yet fully mastered this power."
Shi Yi didn't refute this, but nodded in agreement. However, he immediately changed the subject and said, "But that doesn't mean I will lose."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yi's body trembled again, and an extraordinary aura surged up instantly, as if some ancient power had awakened within him, causing his aura to undergo a qualitative leap in a short period of time.
"The Supreme Bone...?"
Seeing the dazzling divine light erupt from Shi Yi's chest, Shi An narrowed his eyes, then formed hand seals and suddenly unleashed an astonishing power, blasting towards Shi Yi.
Just as Shi An launched his attack, a surge of divine energy erupted from Shi Yi's chest and collided with it.
"Bang!"
The collision of the two forces produced a deafening roar, like two giant mountains colliding. The entire space seemed to tremble under this force, and visible ripples spread outwards, even pulverizing the dust in the air.
The figures of Shi Yi and Shi An appeared and disappeared in this torrent of power, like two war gods engaged in fierce combat.
But for some unknown reason, just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Shi Yi's expression suddenly changed, and then the light from the Supreme Bone on his chest visibly faded away.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, having lost the support of the Supreme Bone's power, Shi Yi was instantly struck by a powerful force. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, raising dust that obscured his figure.
A moment later, the dust settled, and Shi Yi struggled to his feet, his face ashen, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of confusion in his eyes: "What happened? Why did the power of the Supreme Bone suddenly disappear?"
Shi Yi was shocked and stared intently at Shi An, suspecting that Shi An was behind it all.
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything underhanded to you."
Shi Yi's gaze made Shi An very uncomfortable. He quickly waved his hand and looked at him suspiciously, saying, "Isn't it possible that you can't control it, which is why it backfired?"
"impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi denied it without hesitation, saying, "The Supreme Bone is perfectly compatible with me, how could it possibly have a backlash!"
"A perfect match?"
As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, Shi An was taken aback, then looked at him with a slightly strange expression and said, "Are you saying that the Supreme Bone wasn't something you were born with, but something you stole from someone else?"
"You...me..."
Shi Yi felt very uncomfortable under Shi An's gaze, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, because the Supreme Bone really wasn't his, but belonged to his good younger brother.
Seeing that Shi Yi did not refute his words, Shi An's face immediately showed disappointment: "It's truly pathetic. Relying on plundering the talents of others to enhance yourself—can this kind of power bring you true strength? Can you use it with a clear conscience?"
After saying that, Shi An ignored Shi Yi and turned to leave.
Left behind was Shi Yi, his face ashen, staring at his retreating figure, bewildered in the wind.
Just as Shi An was about to disappear from sight, Shi Yi heard the other person's voice again. It was this sentence that made Shi Yi stand there, stunned, for a long time.
"Double pupils are the invincible path; why borrow the bones of others?"
Shi An's words, like a morning bell and evening drum, deeply moved Shi Yi's heart.
This statement was not only a satire of his behavior, but also a heavy blow to his heart, which had become twisted by his pursuit of power.
Shi Yi stood there, his eyes vacant, Shi An's words echoing in his mind. Each word was like a sharp knife, cutting into the vanity and greed in his heart.
"Double pupils are the invincible path, why borrow the bones of others..."
He muttered to himself, a hint of realization and regret gradually appearing in his eyes.
Yes, he possesses double pupils, a rare and divine treasure in the world, enough to pave an invincible path for him.
However, he remained fixated on the supreme bone that did not belong to him, attempting to use it to prove himself, unaware that this would become a stumbling block on his path of cultivation.
Recalling all that he had done to obtain the Supreme Bone, Shi Yi felt a wave of shame.
After a while, Shi Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath. As he exhaled, the frustration and confusion in his chest seemed to disappear as well.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the distance where Shi An had gone.
"You're right, double pupils are an invincible path, why borrow someone else's bones!"
Shi Yi silently recited this in his heart, his eyes shining with an unprecedented light.
From this moment on, he will rediscover himself and use his unique double pupils to prove his worth.
Having figured everything out, Shi Yi started walking again, heading in the opposite direction from Shi An.
At this moment, every step he took seemed so firm and powerful, as if he were saying goodbye to the past and making a vow to the future.
His shadow was elongated in the moonlight, making him appear exceptionally lonely and powerful.
