Chapter 2577 The Styx River Forges the Divine Body, the Spear Master Breaks the Styx Body

Faced with Mulinye's fierce counterattack, even though Achilles was exceptionally skilled and had long been injured by ordinary soldiers, he dared not easily use his body to take the hit head-on.

Those skilled in technique, and who use weapons like spears to break through defenses from a single point, have an advantage over other types of generals when facing generals who rely on direct attacks, making it easier for them to break through enemy defenses.

Moreover, the fact that the opponent was fighting to the death made Achilles even more wary.

Even if the opponent doesn't actually pierce his vital points, but only causes a small wound, if Achilles were to unleash all his blood energy like Guan Yue did when fighting Li Cunxiao, disregarding everything and even the burden on his meridians, he would still suffer greatly.

It should be noted that Guan Yue had already exhausted a large portion of his power at that time, but Mu Linye's power was still almost at its peak.

If this person were to sever their own meridians and instantly force all the blood and evil energy into their body, even if they could expel it in time afterward, it would be fine once or twice, but if it happened several times, it would directly affect their martial arts path and might even cause them to enter a period of decline prematurely.

It is precisely because of this that these martial arts practitioners who rely on hard skills will block attacks whenever possible, and will not actually use their physical bodies to directly withstand attacks, especially from opponents of inferior strength.

If it's a normal attack, there's nothing wrong with it. If you catch it, you catch it. Even if you break through their defenses, it's just a minor injury for them.

However, if they are in a desperate situation and the other party is willing to harm themselves, they will not be happy if their defenses are breached.

Faced with such a ferocious Mulinye, Achilles instinctively used his shield to protect himself.

At the same time, the spear in his other hand slashed towards Mu Linye's abdomen.

He was absolutely certain that while blocking the opponent's spear, he could also pierce the opponent's abdomen with a single thrust.

"Ding, Achilles' Dark Evil God Body skill activated."

The Netherworld God Body, son of the gods, bloodline of the gods, evil waters of the Styx River, immortal body—this skill is unique to Achilles.

Effect 1: Immortal Body, unaffected by any sealing skill effects.

Effect 2: Netherworld Power. When facing an enemy, it can seal the opponent's external force-type skill effects, but this skill effect cannot be activated on those whose base strength is higher than one's own.

Effect 3: Blood of the gods, body of a demigod. When fighting against mortal generals or mortal generals from mythology, one of their skills can be randomly sealed. This effect can only be activated against those with lower base attack power than oneself, and cannot be activated against those with true god skills.

Effect 4: Indestructible, greatly enhances comprehension of external martial arts, significantly reduces damage from those below the god level wielding ordinary weapons, but one's final weakness can never be completely perfected through martial arts techniques.

Effect 5: Achilles' Heel. When the ankle (not both, but only one) is hit by a divine attack and suffers sufficient damage, this skill effect will activate, randomly sealing one of the user's skills.

In terms of raw skill alone, Achilles is quite strong, even surpassing the likes of Alcyoneus. While he may not be as good as Li Cunxiao and Tuoba Longxiang, he is not far off.

However, despite his strong physical skills, due to his innate physical condition, there was always one part of his body that he could not cultivate to perfection, thus preventing him from achieving a complete and flawless body.

This is even reflected in skills.

Of course, while his hard skills have weaknesses, they are not something a mere soldier can easily break through. Only after reaching a certain level of strength can one have the opportunity to exploit these weaknesses.

"Ding! Achilles' Netherworld God Body skill effect is activated. With his immortal body, he is unaffected by any sealing skill effects. Affected by the fourth effect of Mu Lingye Spear Master's skill, when facing a spear general, if the opponent has a skill that breaks seals, as long as the opponent is not a true god general, half of the skill can be forcibly activated, and Achilles's strength value is restored to 118."

Achilles raised his shield to block, but the expected sound of weapons clashing did not come. Instead, Mu Linye reacted extremely quickly, and at the very moment his spear was about to pierce the shield, he immediately changed the direction of the spear.

Immediately, with the ease of deflecting a heavy blow, he deflected Achilles' spear, using a gentle force to pull it aside.

"That's all!" Achilles laughed wildly, his spear transforming into a golden light that enveloped Mulinye.

However, although Achilles' attacks appeared incredibly fierce, they were actually all show and no substance. He was holding back a lot of his strength to prevent his opponent from launching a sudden killing move.

Even the shield in Achilles' other hand remained perfectly still, pressed tightly against his waist, ready to react and defend at any moment.

Achilles' tactic was to wear down his opponent, waiting until their stamina and strength were nearly depleted before unleashing a devastating attack, denying them any chance to fight back.

Given his martial arts prowess and physical condition, Achilles was naturally not afraid of outlasting an enemy general whose injuries had not yet fully healed.

Furthermore, now that they are surrounded by the Gallic Empire's troops, Achilles is not afraid that the enemy might be able to break through.

"This fellow is incredibly cunning." Mu Linye sighed inwardly as he deflected the thrusting spear with his own.

His marksmanship was superb and his experience profound; Achilles' seemingly fierce but actually restrained offensive was no match for him.

However, this seasoned Qin general saw through Achilles's purpose at a glance, which is why he felt helpless.

Achilles' method of dealing with the enemy may seem unheroic, but it is extremely effective on the battlefield. Many generals would use the same approach when faced with the same situation.

When facing a master of the same level, in addition to killing the enemy, it is even more crucial to prevent the opponent's last-ditch counterattack.

For a time, the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Mu Lingye compensated for his lack of strength by using his superior skills and speed.

Even with Achilles holding back, he couldn't gain any real advantage.

"No, this can't go on any longer!"

Mu Linye knew he could never outlast his opponent, even if the opponent's defense was watertight, leaving him no openings and no way to fight back.

However, he could only force himself to fight desperately; if he continued to drag it out, he wouldn't even have the chance to fight.

"Ding, Mu Linye's Gun Master skill activated."

Gun Master: The supreme gun, unrivaled in the world, cleaving the heavens and shattering the nine netherworlds, its effects differ from those of activating skills…
