"Soul-annihilating Palm Attack!" The next moment, the old woman slapped out a dark palm shadow, which carried an overwhelming amount of potent evil spirit. It made Rocky feel like he was drowning—like no air could reach his lungs—even before it could come close. He could tell that the power contained within it was exceedingly terrible, and it could very well take his life.
"So this is the extent of an Emperor Realm master's strength!"
Rocky's facial expression grew somber, but he didn't show any trace of fear. Although he wasn't sure that he could completely resist the old woman's attack, he was fairly confident that her attack wouldn't be enough to kill him.
Of course, the only reason that Rocky was risking his life was to keep Carla safe.
Using the Spiritual Power Intensifying Skill, he increased his strength to the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant. He knew that this was far from enough to resist the old woman's blow, but he needed to fight her head-on.
He also drew the Mystical Dragon Sword and instantly activated the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.
In the air, countless sword lights twinkled like stars at the same time, condensing strong sword power. As the Mystical Dragon Sword attacked out of the blue, it collided with the woman's black palm shadow, which continuously consumed the Soul-annihilating Palm Attack's power.
However, it was a pity that even though the Thousand-star Swordsmanship was at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant, its strength was barely a drop in the bucket in the face of the old woman's Soul-annihilating Palm Attack.
After a while, the power of the Thousand-star Swordsmanship started to fade, while the old woman's attack had already burned off the spiritual power protecting Rocky's body. It looked like this attack could hurt or even kill him at any time.
At that moment, Rocky suddenly sensed an inexplicable surge of power coming from his Magic Spiritual Space, and it felt like something was about to come out. Next, a shadow of icy light suddenly broke out of the space and instantly rushed into his body.
Soon, he felt an icy power surge all over his body like a cresting wave, and his skin began to change, affected by some unknown power. Scales and ice began to form over his skin, as his entire body slowly fused with a piece of ice armor. Wearing the gorgeous armor, he looked like an avenging angel coming down from the heavens to bestow justice.
And lastly, an ice helmet with a peculiar shape materialized over his head, as four rays of icy light shone in an instant, which looked astounding.
"Is this the Magic Icy Armor?"
Rocky didn't expect that at this critical moment, the Magic Icy Armor would suddenly activate and fuse into his body. After all, he thought it had lost all its spiritual power and was good for nothing but scrap metal.
Of course, he also knew that this couldn't be an accident. It likely had something to do with the recovery of his divine power.
The Magic Icy Armor was, in fact, a divine weapon, so under the activation of the same power, it could regain its power as a divine weapon.
However, Rocky doubted that the armor's effect could last long, especially in the face of such a fearsome adversary.
In the next breath, the old woman's Soul-annihilating Palm Attack hit his chest, but the Magic Icy Armor bounced it away like it was nothing.
All this happened in an instant, so even the old woman couldn't believe what she had seen.
"I did what I said. I have blocked one move from you,"
Rocky told her resolutely.
"This can't be possible. How did you do that?
And what is that treasure on you?" she asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
It seemed that she had finally realized the tremendous power of the Magic Ice Armor. "I don't have to tell you because it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I hope you can keep your promise!" he muttered coldly.
"Are you kidding me? There's no way I can let you leave."
Evidently, she had made up her mind to keep the two of them trapped in this place with her.
Of course, Rocky had also expected this. He had been a little worried at the start, but with the help of the Magic Icy Armor, he had the chance to send Carla inside his Magic Spiritual Space. The armor was strong enough to break through his Magic Spiritual Space, so it would certainly help.
In the blink of an eye, Carla disappeared from where she stood.
"What?! Where did the girl go?"
the old woman snarled when she saw that Carla disappeared.
"She's in a safe place now. If you kill me, you will never get to her,"
Rocky sneered back at her.
"Boy, you are courting death!"
As the old woman realized she had been tricked, she grew incredibly furious.
