I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 971: Chapter 971: Using Teammates as Shields—That’s True Tanking

The Four Great Corpse Kings remain motionless, not because they are intimidated by the Dragon Queen’s dragon roar, restricting their actions.

The sonic waves of the dragon roar have a terrifying destructive power on living and even dead things. Even if it doesn’t damage their structure, it can disrupt their internal operations, achieving the effect of limiting biological or mechanical movement.

But this formidable dragon roar has no effect on the Four Great Corpse Kings.

Ying Gou’s lips curl into a meaningful smile, and then the most powerful of the Corpse Kings quickly charges towards Jiang Chen.

"It’s been so many years, and I still like doing this. Don’t take it to heart."

Just as Ying Gou finishes speaking, Jiang Chen realizes what is about to happen next.

Despite being utterly unwilling about Ying Gou’s actions, Jiang Chen is unable to resist.

In terms of both speed and power, Ying Gou far surpasses him.

All Jiang Chen can do is watch as Ying Gou extends his hand toward Jiang Chen’s neck, unable to do anything else.

"You...."

As with previous results.

Jiang Chen hasn’t finished speaking before Ying Gou already lifts him up and leaps forward.

What is he intending to do?!

Tremble widens his eyes in disbelief.

Jiang Chen’s body remains rigidly upright, unable to make any move, as Ying Gou carries him forward a significant distance.

Ying Gou positions Jiang Chen’s body above his head, facing his own "Thunder Breaker," intending to use Jiang Chen as a weapon to block his attack?

Szzzz szzzz!

Clack clack!

The giant blade formed by the Power of Thunder, filled with Tremble’s Divine Power and Power of the Primordial, pours mercilessly.

The target, naturally, is Jiang Chen, used by Ying Gou as a shield.

The "Thunder Breaker," a skill effective against all adversaries, fails on Jiang Chen?

The might of lightning is the most potent natural element.

Combining the attributes of speed, precision, and ferocity, high-level Thunder Element can bypass physical and magic defenses to deal direct true damage.

Lin Yi deeply understands this from the Thunder Forbidden Curse.

The unstoppable Power of Thunder, in perfect harmony with Tremble’s supreme Destruction Law, results in an explosive force beyond imagination.

With the addition of Taichu and Divine Power, it becomes a skill few dare to face head-on in the Three Realms.

Yet such a terrifying attack, when hitting Jiang Chen, has no effect.

Jiang Chen’s body, like a bottomless battery, is crazily absorbing the Thunder Power released by Tremble.

His body can act as a conductor.

In this situation, the tremendous Thunder Power fails to enter Ying Gou’s body at all, let alone injure him.

"Ah, this matter needs you. Among the four of us, we only acquired a bit of that one’s soul power. In terms of strength, we’re mostly equal, but in body strength, we have to look at you, right?"

Ying Gou raises his head, the blue lightning illuminating his face.

His gaze unwavering, meets Jiang Chen’s eyes, whom he has used as a weapon above his head.

The legend of Ying Gou having almost limitless power is finally confirmed by Tremble today.

As the top combat force of Dark Rising, purely from combat power, he indeed surpasses all other high-ranking members, stronger than the other six heroes.

A casual punch of his can even make planets in mid-plane tremble.

Yet his prized strength has lost effectiveness today.

The Thunder Blade condensed by Thunder Power is now colliding with Jiang Chen’s body.

Tremble doesn’t know Jiang Chen’s condition.

But he can clearly sense his concentrated Thunder Blade is on the verge of collapse.

It feels like having a common fruit knife chopping on a large weight—

Completely incapable of breaking, instead, his own attack threatens to backfire.

"You damned fellow, always using me as your shield. Just because my skin’s thick, I’ve become your weapon? Our positions among the four should be equal!"

Jiang Chen speaks, extending his pale, withered arm from his wide, worn sleeves, gently pinching the Thunder Blade pressing on him.

Clack!

After the crisp sound of breaking, all falls silent.

Not only does Tremble’s Thunder Blade lose effect, but even the Dragon Queen’s sonic attack as well.

Dense cracks spread across the space around Jiang Chen.

With the sound of crisp explosion remaining, the backlash instantly affects the Dragon Queen and Tremble.

The Dragon Queen in dragon form jolts and suddenly shrinks back into human form.

Tremble’s condition isn’t much better.

His face pales, Divine Power and Taichu stall for a moment, then the surging blood rises to his throat.

It feels like an invisible punch has struck his chest, causing pain and throwing him back, tumbling helplessly on the ground seven or eight times before stopping.

If not for the Divination Monster’s Lifebound Divine Artifact’s protection, the strange force affecting the two would have been far scarier.

Gongshu De flies forward to support the injured, while the god of breaking arrays charges out, swinging his huge hammer, slamming it down where Jiang Chen is.

With teammates injured, to prevent the enemy pursuing, breaking arrays decisively strikes.

As the black hammer swings, eight streams of black energy surge from different directions, gathering at the hammer’s location.

In an instant, mighty annihilation force erupts, fiercely impacting Jiang Chen’s chest.

"Go to hell!"

This guy’s Lifebound Law isn’t the Supreme Law!

Annihilation is a branch of Reincarnation Law, but its destructive power matches the Supreme Law.

With nullification and disintegration effects, when cultivated, its damage even surpasses the Destruction Law.

This strike from breaking arrays is heavy and formidable.

Normally, it’s enough to break through arrays.

Today, it merely nudges Ying Gou’s steps backward.

"Yo, can’t withstand it?"

"If you can’t withstand it, it’s time to counterattack."

Ying Gou grins, revealing rotten teeth, sneering.

This taunt instantly displeases Jiang Chen.

A soulless Jiang Chen still has thoughts, truly a miracle in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

His soulless nature makes Jiang Chen’s thoughts simpler, often doing foolish things, earning frequent ridicule from the other three Corpse Kings.

Finally free to enjoy a fight, unexpectedly Ying Gou belittles him, leaving Jiang Chen instantly annoyed.

He suddenly rises, exploding with incredible speed.

Seeing Jiang Chen charge, Blood Dance and Gongshu De take immediate action, quickly lifting their Lifebound Divine Artifacts to shield the god of breaking arrays, trying to relieve pressure from him.

But in frenzy mode, how can the two gods with auxiliary attributes block him?

Jiang Chen, with a strong body and simple thoughts, when fixating on something, is like an angry bull.

He defends none, using his head and body to meet the weapons of Blood Dance and Gongshu De head-on.
