The You Sui Craftsman felt like he had seen a ghost.

What the hell was this?

What happened?!

Before he could react, the Golden Iron Quality suddenly collapsed; the tenderness of weaving threads around fingers reappeared, wrapping around a handle, and then, once again, he lost sensation!

Gone!

Cold sweat seeped from the craftsman's forehead and wouldn't stop.

It sent a chill to the bone!

He simply couldn't penetrate the mystery, couldn't see clearly. Even now, he couldn't distinguish the techniques this little devil used to control that patch of mercury; everything was bizarre and strange.

If it weren't for the inappropriate situation, he would even want to halt and ask first, "How the hell did you do this? How could Supreme Resilience and Golden Iron Quality coexist in such mundane material as mercury?"

Ji Jue's smile became more mocking and vile.

Magic tricks, if not debunked, appear as miracles.

It was like a magician mixing a cup of ice water and a cup of hot water in a glass, and miraculously it became both icy and hot!

Actually, Ji Jue's container had a separating layer in the middle, each side insulating itself.

Two semi-finished products together still remain two semi-finished products.

They only seemed to fuse into one, but in reality, both remained clearly distinct.

Now in this seemingly complete patch of silver shine, there were actually two completely different layers of mercury overlapping. When toughness was needed, he mobilized the Supreme Resilience; when hardness was needed, he mobilized the Golden Iron Quality.

The River Formation technique could keep the two properties independent during manipulation, avoiding interference with each other.

It was just that the combination of Non-attack and Heavenly Skill made it fast enough to switch seamlessly. With both running parallel, it created the illusion of a perfect blend of flexibility and firmness.

No wonder Mr. Lou was so shocked by such a makeshift method.

It was damn patchwork, but also damn effective.

This solution was only useful for Ji Jue himself—as for the difficulty of operation, sorry, that's how Spirit First works.

If you're unskilled, just practice more. In other words, if you practice enough and for long enough, you won't be unskilled anymore.

It's merely multitasking, quite simple.

Hmm? Don't you know how?

Boom!

A muffled sound suddenly erupted.

In that instant, the You Sui Craftsman's complexion drastically changed, his entire being suddenly diffusing into an illusion, shattering, transforming into streaks of light that shot out, and then, he slammed into the central blockade, unable to escape...

After being bounced back, he clumsily reassembled, falling to the ground, his face pale.

On the back of his neck, there was a new wound, deep enough to see the bone.

The wound was dark, completely unable to heal; blood continuously poured out.

If it had been any deeper, it would have almost severed his head...

If it weren't for the critical moment when the precious life-saving artifact he had set up earlier self-destructed, he would have been decapitated already.

"Tsks!"

Two almost overlapping voices sounded.

Ji Jue regretted that it was indeed the Embers, lacking everything else but not equipment, making it really hard to kill because they possessed so many life-preserving devices!

Meanwhile, Ji Xue, who had just recovered a bit of her strength by taking a spiritual supplement, looked down regretfully at the bloodstain on her short sword.

Unlike others who struggled to synchronize time, manipulating her own time was much easier. If she concentrated fully, accelerating a hundredfold was not out of the question.

But now that the enemy was on guard, the trouble was likely to increase.

Suddenly, more than fifty blades rose into the air, besieging her.

On Ji Jue's side, the pressure greatly decreased; he didn't even bother to continue gathering equipment, pulled out a bell, and started shaking it wildly, ringing it three times in quick succession.

The You Sui Craftsman's hair stood on end again.

From the wailing of the Bone Knife, residual spirits converged, appearing like mutant evil spirits of a medic emerging from the blood, their ten fingers sharp as knives, moving tracelessly, ignoring all physical interferences, continuously burrowing from between the walls and floor, attacking fiercely like an incurable carbuncle.

Then, Ji Jue dropped a bead of hardened mercury into the mercury, and instantly a hollow armor rose, wielding four arms, withstanding the slashes of the blades, charging forward.

Not just that, Ji Jue's hand continued to pull out beads from his pocket and throw them into the mercury, instantly causing crude Mercury Spiders to emerge, swarming towards the beleaguered You Sui Craftsman.

Literally, covering the sky!

In an instant, what was previously a one-on-one fight became a group beating, the one being beaten being himself... From the dangerous encirclement, the reserve of Alchemy Bullets depleted at a visibly fast rate.

He couldn't hesitate anymore.

If this continued...

In an unprecedented sense of crisis, the You Sui Craftsman struggled out of the torment like a frog boiled in warm water, bursting forth, ignoring the bleeding wound on his neck and the siege, and let out a silent roar, all the howling blades above him gathering the spiritual material, contracting.

Like a hedgehog, they circulated, fending off the siege.

Then, he charged towards Ji Jue, or rather... towards the central control behind Ji Jue!

At this point, with no external support from outside the control hub arriving, this location was likely doomed. In that case, he might as well destroy the central control; sooner or later, the other end would notice the anomaly and a thunderous rage would swiftly ensue!

Ji Jue expressionlessly raised his handgun, its exaggerated caliber aimed at his face, and pulled the trigger. Bullets whistled, continuously striking the defensive film and bouncing off.

Right beneath his feet, mercury continually rose, precisely intercepting the bullets and blades from the You Sui Craftsman, entangling.
