Chapter 1160

The blood-colored scythe in Naseri's hand slashed at Gu Ding. In the void, the blood-colored scythe slashed toward Gu Ding one after another.

Gu Ding raised his longbow and stood firmly in place, not moving at all. The movement of his right hand pulling the bow turned into a mirage. If one did not look closely, they would not have noticed that he had actually pulled out an arrow and shot it. It was just that the movement of pulling the bow was so fast that it was almost overlapping.

Dozens of black arrow gleams shot out at the same time, colliding with the blood-colored crescent moon.

Boom! Boom! Boom …

The collision of the two attacks caused the void to shake, and cracks in the void suddenly formed in the midst of the shaking.

Naseri's figure shuttled through the shaking and unexpectedly pounced toward Gu Ding again. It seemed that she had realized that long-range attacks did not work, so she wanted to fight in close combat.

This was because she knew from the beginning that Gu Ding's archery was amazing. In addition, she had succeeded in her previous close combat attack, so she did not know how strong Gu Ding was in close combat. However, from her point of view, everyone had their own specialties. A Holy Lord who could cultivate archery to the point of being on par with a Holy King was definitely not as good at close combat as archery.

Unfortunately, what she did not know was that Gu Ding had always been a powerhouse in close combat. He had only learned archery not too long ago.

Gu Ding naturally guessed most of his opponent's thoughts because he had not shown much of his close combat strength in this round. It was normal for people to mistake him for being weak in close combat.

Gu Ding did not bat an eyelid as he watched his opponent pounce on him. He drew his bow again, and another black arrow shot out.

This arrow was the fifth arrow in Gu Ding's self-created archery skill — Edgeless.

After receiving Salomy's inheritance, Gu Ding had once again perfected his archery skills. The self-created set of archery skills had made up for his previous shortcomings and was even more powerful than before.

This arrow, Edgeless, was not meant to penetrate and kill, but to crush.

As soon as the black arrow was shot, the void collapsed inch by inch.

Even Naseri, who did not know archery, knew that this arrow was unusual. Although Gu Ding's previous archery skills were sharp, none of them could cause the void to collapse inch by inch like this.

"I wonder what's so special about this arrow?" Naseli immediately curbed her speed, and her original offensive stance changed to a semi-defensive stance.

When the black arrow arrived in front of him in an instant, the blood-colored scimitar slashed out, and the blade directly hit the black arrow.

But at the moment of contact, Nasri's expression changed drastically. She could clearly feel the unstoppable force coming from the arrow.

The feeling from the blade was as if his machete had collided with the horn of a wild bull that was running wildly.

Almost in an instant, she changed her strategy. The blade tilted to the side, avoiding the force of the arrow, and instead, she used the back of the blade to slap the side of Black Edge.

Since he couldn't forcefully block it, he could just go with the flow. As long as he changed the direction of the attack, he would be able to avoid it.

Under the vibration of the back of the saber, the black light changed its original path and shifted to the side.

Even so, Nasri felt a jolt in her arm, followed by a slight numbness. Gu Ding's arrow was too terrifying.

'This arrow is probably enough to crush any Holy Lord-level powerhouse into a bloody pulp …' Nasri sighed in her heart.

Just as Naseli relaxed a little, a beam of black light shot towards her at a terrifying speed.

'So fast!' Almost as soon as the thought flashed through Nasri's mind, the black light was less than ten meters away from her.

This arrow was Gu Ding's self-created archery skill, Infinite Speed. After some modification, it had become a terrifying archery skill that suddenly accelerated.

When Nasri had just glanced at it, the arrow had already begun to accelerate.

"Oh no!"

Nasri let out a low cry, but then, a layer of blood-colored glow appeared around her. The blood-colored glow was like a blood-colored wave that washed over the black arrow.

The extremely fast black arrow slowed down sharply when it came into contact with the blood-colored wave, like a clay ox in the sea. It began to dissipate rapidly from three meters away from Nasri, and when it was about a meter away, it completely disappeared.

"Huh!"

Gu Ding let out a cry of surprise, not only because the arrow was strangely dispelled, but also because of the changes that Nasri was undergoing.

At that moment, Nasri's eyes had become blood-red without pupils, and a misty blood-colored energy quickly surged out of her body.

Even though he was far away, Gu Ding could still clearly feel the terrifying coercion coming from the blood-colored energy.

Gu Ding could even sense that the strength of Nasri's aura was rising.

"This is a divine power that increases combat effectiveness!" Gu Ding was slightly surprised.

After reaching lord-level combat effectiveness, which was above Holy Disciple level, all kinds of divine powers that previously increased combat effectiveness could not be used. This seemed to be a tacit rule of the world.

Only lord-level divine powers and Lord-level divine powers could be used. Among these two types of divine powers, divine powers that directly increased combat effectiveness were extremely rare. Even if there were, it would usually only increase combat effectiveness by a few percent. It was rare to double combat effectiveness, let alone triple it.

At least, Gu Ding's entire crew had not obtained a single divine power that increased combat effectiveness after so long.

However, Nasri's combat effectiveness seemed to have increased by more than two or three times.

"This aura, it's at least ten times stronger than before …" Gu Ding was a little speechless. His opponent was already a Holy King, and now that her combat effectiveness had increased by ten times, Gu Ding felt a headache coming on.

Not long after, Nasri's aura gradually stabilized. Her red hair fluttered in the wind as she looked at Gu Ding from afar.

"This is my divine power, Blood Moon Boundary. It can increase my combat effectiveness by ten times. If it's night time, it'll increase by twenty times. Moreover, this divine power instinctively suppresses all augmentation-type divine powers, rendering them ineffective. "

"Not only that, once the divine power is activated, it will automatically form a layer of blood-colored protective boundary around my body. This layer of defense is based on my strongest attack after the amplification of my combat power. In other words, all attacks that are not as strong as my strongest attack will be ineffective. "

"Furthermore, even if I stand here and do nothing, you won't be able to break through my defense." Nasri was secretly observing Gu Ding's reaction when she said this.

Truth be told, Gu Ding's head hurt even more after hearing Nasri's explanation. After all, Nasri was a Holy King powerhouse, and her combat effectiveness had been increased by ten times. Therefore, most Holy King powerhouses would not be able to break through her defense now, let alone Gu Ding who had not advanced to Holy King.

However, after Gu Ding frowned slightly, he took the initiative to attack Nasri. "In that case, let me see if your defense is really as strong as you say it is!"
