Chapter 107: The End of the Underworld Journey 10
Fortunately, the dragon scales he had covering his body and his body fortified by body refinement allowed him to protect himself from most of the attack, with the dignity of the activated phoenix his regenerative abilities surpassed the limits and his wounds recovered quickly.
It didn't change the fact that he had no idea how he could win this fight, he was under half his qi and could no longer use his clone technique in this fight, yet he had a smile on his face.
After all, after many months he can finally realize after this attack the laws of this negative energy, normally that would be very difficult because it was almost exclusive undead energy, but Zhang Yi has always had a divine talent and insight and can realize that.
He got some clues after years of fighting the skeletons after he saw how the realm of the mortal tribulation realm could reinforce the others he can further understand the negative energy.
After being wounded for the first time by this energy he can finally understand what was missing, he did not want to use this law to get stronger or to fight but to defend himself, after all his heavenly armor technique could defend and absorb even half the power of law attack he understood.
Zhang Yi might be said to be the worst enemies of the skeletons with their phoenix flame essence and the lightning of tribulation, but the skeletons were also their worst enemies because they used a law he did not understand to attack.
Now that would change after he understood, even if he couldn't absorb half of the attacks he would greatly weaken the enemy's attacks, it could be said that again Zhang Yi's persistence saved his life.
As his defense was huge after using all defensive techniques the opposing attack also had to be very powerful to penetrate his defense, so with half of the enemy attack being nullified, he could defend himself again.
Even though he was facing 38 enemies of the mortal tribulation realm and was injured with only half of his qi, Zhang Yi again used his reduced qi clone technique, which was the means to fight more enemies he had learned.
As soon as the clones appeared Zhang Yi and his clones hid in the extensive battlefield, the skeletons, as well as previous groups, did not expect Zhang Yi to hide and did not know where to look.
Soon the clones just like Zhang used all offensive techniques along with the Divine technique - slashing the stars: a blow where you swing your weapon and it hits the target, no matter how far or hidden it is, as long as you can see it or feel it.
This was an attack that used 6 attack techniques and 4 move techniques, it was literally an attack that burned Zhang Yi's qi, yet it was effective because 12 more enemies were destroyed.
As the fight rolled around Zhang Yi took advantage of this time to recover with his superior regenerative abilities, after a few more moments another attack was made by Zhang Yi and his clones and 12 more enemies were destroyed.
After this second attack, the skeletons discovered where Zhang Yi and his clones were hidden, but at this point, only 16 skeletons of the mortal tribulation realm were left.
Somehow the skeletons figured out what Zhang Yi's true body was, maybe it was because the strongest attack always came from the main body and they attacked in 4 groups Zhang Yi again.
With Zhang Yi realizing the laws of negative energy almost half of each joint attack of the skeletons was defended and Zhang Yi was able to stand up to his 4 attacks.
At the same time, Zhang Yi and the clones attacked again destroying 12 more skeletons of the mortal tribulation realm, not having destroyed the clones the skeletons lost the only chance of having won this fight.
Soon after the last 4 enemy skeletons were destroyed with one more blow and the fight was over, Zhang Yi absorbed his remaining clones and still had a third of his remaining qi, he had been injured in this fight, but his body had already recovered in that one time.
Best of all, he had figured out a safer fighting strategy for the upcoming fights after understanding the laws of negative energy, he no longer had to risk injuring himself against the next enemies.
It was good news because Zhang Yi was starting to run out of options even though he was facing only half the full strength of his enemies, so maybe he couldn't face the 100 realm tribulations of the mortal tribulation in the final fight.
Prior to that, he had recommended the twins to be farther away from their fight, because the twins began to faint after enemy groups had more than 40 realm skeletons of mortal tribulation.
They initially did not want to, but Zhang Yi convinced them that if they passed out they could not help if he was in danger, at the distance they were currently they would feel almost no pressure but would take longer to help in the fight.
Unfortunately the spirit rank armor that Zhang Yi wore was badly damaged, fortunately, thanks to the armor Zhang Yi's wound was smaller than it could have been and so he can recover more quickly during the fight.
Knowing this Zhang Yi decided that he would first fix the armor before fighting again, after all, he was a blacksmith and could fix the armor with a little work and completely recover from his injuries.
The next fights would be harder with Zhang Yi facing more enemies, he hoped his new fighting strategy would make the next fights easier, but he couldn't be sure before trying.
This strategy had to work in the next fights because Zhang Yi had no trump card until the final fight in this world, he would have to risk his life to destroy this world.
