659: Fear of water and use of water!
Whoosh!
Streaks of silver-white light broke through the sea surface without warning and swept towards Ge Lin.
Caught off guard, Ge Lin suffered a major loss instantly; his black battle armor was shredded to pieces, and he himself was injured.
Although it was merely a superficial wound, it was enough to make things difficult for him!
In the blink of an eye, he was covered in blood. He roared fiercely, and the energy unique to a Pseudo-Saint erupted, repelling all the approaching silver light.
Then, a sphere of water suddenly enveloped him, forming a thin protective layer that firmly shielded him. When the silver light slashed over, it would first strike the water sphere, giving him time to see the trajectory of the opponent's attack and dodge it easily.
Only then did he see the true nature of those streaks of silver light... They were actually hundreds of Flying Swords darting back and forth, looking awe-inspiring and immensely powerful.
"Could Sha Wujing have been hiding such an attack move?"
Ge Lin frowned slightly and turned around abruptly, only to see that Sha Wujing had appeared behind him at some unknown point, raising his zen staff to smash the ring of water protecting his body.
However, the Water Law was, after all, the power of a Law. If it could be broken so easily, Ge Lin would not deserve the title of one of the Seven Demon Generals.
He swung his right hand out violently, and countless ice cones swept out to meet the incoming Flying Swords. The air was instantly filled with exploding ice crystals, but he used this opportunity to create distance between them.
Sha Wujing frowned slightly, then charged forward, commanding the Flying Swords to continue their fierce assault while he hid behind them, waiting for a chance to launch a sneak attack.
"Hmph, unless it's a last resort, I really don't want to use this move..."
Ge Lin frowned slightly, and his figure instantly turned transparent. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into countless streams of water, flickering and vanishing into the air. When he reappeared, he was already beside Sha Wujing. His movements were extremely fast, and he grabbed Sha Wujing's arm with one hand. Sha Wujing immediately felt a scorching current on his forearm, followed by a sharp pain.
"Get lost!"
"Hum!"
Swinging his zen staff, Sha Wujing knocked Ge Lin flying, but the opponent seemed to have been hit on purpose, floating leisurely backwards for over a dozen meters in mid-air before coming to a stop.
"There's a burn on my arm... Hmm, this is a burn similar to that from boiling water vapor!"
Sha Wujing frowned slightly. "Another form of water, water vapor... Such a temperature can only be produced by scorching boiling water..."
"Heh heh, Sha Wujing, oh Sha Wujing, I'm impressed you've held on until now... Did you take some kind of Spirit Pill?"
Ge Lin saw at a glance that Sha Wujing no longer had his previous injuries. Not only was he full of energy, but even his freshly burned arm had returned to normal in an instant.
It was obvious that when he entered the water, he had already taken some kind of holy healing medicine.
"Let's make a deal. Give me one of your pills, and I won't be your enemy anymore. What do you think?"
Ge Lin smiled slightly and said.
Sha Wujing curled his lips. "Do you think that's possible? If it were you, would you aid the enemy on the battlefield?"
Ge Lin narrowed his eyes. "No, but I value my life very much. Unlike you, who doesn't even know you're at death's door, and you're still being stubborn!"
"Oh... How am I at death's door? Why don't you tell me and broaden my horizons!"
Sha Wujing said disdainfully.
However, suddenly, a severe pain accompanied by a violent heartbeat surged towards his brain, and a mouthful of metallic-tasting blood involuntarily spewed out...
Sha Wujing looked up suddenly, seemingly realizing something, and said in a deep voice, "You did something to my body?"
"Whether it's humans, animals, or plants... the substance with the highest content in the body is water... Although under normal circumstances, I cannot control a conscious body... there is one exception, and that is to have the water I control invade the enemy's body. In this way, my consciousness will remain in their body, and the water within them will obey my commands!"
Ge Lin waved his hand suddenly, and saw that Sha Wujing opposite him also waved his hand almost unconsciously, his movements identical to Ge Lin's.
"It's simply too easy for me to kill you now..."
Ge Lin sneered. "I just need to control the water in your body to turn into ice to freeze you to death, or turn your blood to a temperature higher than boiling water. That way, your flesh and blood will be cooked, and you'll die all the same. How about it, which one do you choose?"
The medicinal power of the Medicinal Pill was still taking effect, and the high blood pressure injury caused by the violent movement of the water in his blood was gradually recovering. However, Sha Wujing knew that once the medicinal power was exhausted, he would be dead with no place to be buried!
"Heh heh, since that's the case, then I choose... not to die!"
Bang... Splash!
Sha Wujing threw away the zen staff in his hand and accelerated suddenly, crashing directly into Ge Lin. Ge Lin couldn't help but be shocked. Just as he wanted to control the water in Sha Wujing's body to turn into ice, he suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of water...
Gulp...
It turned out that Sha Wujing was already holding him and had plunged directly into the seawater.
"Damn it, this is bad!"
Ge Lin felt his mouth and nose instantly filled with salty seawater. The air in his lungs was squeezed by the immense pressure, causing them to swell, and he began to cough violently in the water, which made him gulp down even more water.
"Heh heh, who would have thought that someone like you, who has comprehended the Water Law, would actually be afraid of water? If I hadn't been observing you from the very beginning, you really would have fooled me!"
Sha Wujing could speak underwater, and he transmitted his voice accurately into Ge Lin's ears.
That's right, Ge Lin was afraid of water. Who would believe that if it were said out loud?
He had skipped stones on the water three times, and even then, he had been terrified. That was why he always hovered above the water surface. Even though Sha Wujing was weaker than him, he didn't dare to go into the water to attack. Even when creating a defensive shield, he would condense the water three meters away from himself, forming a vacuum in the middle.
"Damn it, I'll kill you right now..."
Being a Pseudo-Saint, he still had strong adaptability even in water. Although he simply disliked water, or even feared it, he could still move in it. He immediately endured the discomfort and prepared to mobilize the water in Sha Wujing's body to kill him.
"Heh heh, do you think I would dare to intercept and kill a powerhouse who has mastered a Law just because of my Flying Swords or that ordinary water control ability?"
Sha Wujing said disdainfully, "What do you think the Law I have mastered... is?"
