Chapter 76 – The Tide of Battle Becomes Clear

Volume 3: Rising Winds and Clouds

The massive War Blade continued to extend. Under Kuangliu's power, the blade itself seemed to vanish entirely, leaving only the shriek of sonic booms echoing across the battlefield!

Every slash erupted in dazzling blue light, sending terrifying lightning energy surging throughout the area.

At the same time, the enormous White Tiger Phantom surrounding Kuangliu let out a silent roar. It stood guard beside him, tearing apart every Demonic Creature that tried to approach!

In mere moments, half of the eight Level 4 Demonic Creatures around him had been ripped to pieces by Kuangliu's overwhelming power. The survivors immediately fled!

But against Kuangliu's crushing Physical Attribute of over 2,000 Points, how far could they possibly get?

The seven Level 4 Demonic Creatures that had broken away from Xing's battlefield rapidly closed in, but they had no hope of saving their barely surviving companions!

Seeing Kuangliu's fearsome display, Wen Yu aimed Throb and Wild Song at a bizarre-looking Level 4 Demonic Creature and pulled both triggers!

The Level 4 Demonic Creature was already struggling to defend itself against Kuangliu's War Blade and the rampaging lightning energy. It had no effective way to counter Wen Yu's attack!

Two bullets of different shapes and sizes shot toward it. Empowered by Void Shift, their trajectories became completely unpredictable.

The Demonic Creature had neither the time nor the ability to stop the incoming bullets.

Throb's shot struck it squarely. At the same time, a stabbing pain pierced its mind, leaving it unable to move. It could only stand there and howl!

Then Wild Song's attack followed close behind!

With a single shot, the Demonic Creature's head was blasted away and destroyed!

With Kuangliu and Wen Yu fighting together, the surrounding Demonic Creatures had no chance to retaliate!

…

"Stealing my kills, huh?"

Kuangliu casually sent a Demonic Creature flying with a slap and still had the leisure to tease Wen Yu.

Wen Yu shrugged, openly admitting it. Throb and Wild Song rapidly fired bullet after bullet. Empowered by Wen Yu's Void Shift, the bullets repeatedly changed direction in midair before burrowing into a Demonic Creature's body!

A violent explosion rang out. Wild Song's special effect tore the Demonic Creature apart, reducing it to flesh and blood scattered across the ground!

Before the seven Demonic Creatures in the distance could even reach them, Wen Yu and Kuangliu had already wiped out all eight Demonic Creatures that had surrounded them!

Kuangliu gave his spotless War Blade a light shake and licked his lips. He looked at the seven approaching Demonic Creatures as the lightning around him suddenly blazed brighter, then charged straight at the seven Level 4 Demonic Creatures!

Wen Yu watched Kuangliu accelerate until his figure could no longer be distinguished, then silently put away his two Guns and turned toward One-Eye.

Kuangliu alone was more than enough to deal with seven Demonic Creatures. Xing did not need much help either. After all, the Dragon Might Domain did not distinguish between friend and foe. If Wen Yu recklessly charged into it, his strength would undoubtedly be weakened to an unimaginable degree.

The battlefield where One-Eye and Faceless were fighting, on the other hand, was somewhere Wen Yu could still lend a hand!

…

The Ancient Demon Seed wielded an enormous battle-ax as it and the Serpent Demon Seed kept Xing tied down.

Of course, even with the two Demon Seeds working together, their strength was still insufficient against Xing.

A faint stench of decay constantly wafted from the battle-ax. Every time it struck Xing, it left a charred black mark on his body.

Demonic Energy: Armament (S-Rank, Active Ability): Condenses the power within the body to summon various weapons or pieces of armor. The summoned weapons and armor can only be used by the Host, and each carries a special effect.

The pitch-black battle-ax was the weapon condensed by the Ancient Demon Seed, and it possessed an extraordinarily powerful corrosive effect!

Unfortunately, none of that was worth a damn against Xing!

The Ancient Demon Seed's current Physical Attribute was over 200 Points, while Xing's had reached 600 Points after activating Dragon Blood Amplification. The threefold difference in Physical Attribute left the Ancient Demon Seed in a miserable state whenever it tried to withstand Xing's attacks!

Fortunately for it, this was still a two-on-one fight!

Xing lashed out with his tail, and the surrounding air erupted with a thunderous boom!

The enormous force carried a devastatingly violent impact as it came crashing down toward the Ancient Demon Seed's head. The Ancient Demon Seed immediately raised its battle-ax high, while a suit of pitch-black battle armor materialized around its body.

Boom!

The Ancient Demon Seed was driven into the ground like a nail by Xing's paw. It spewed a mouthful of pitch-black fluid as its battle-ax and black armor shattered into pieces. The fragments dissolved into a cloud of black Demon Qi, which the Ancient Demon Seed promptly absorbed back into its body.

With a single blow, Xing had severely wounded the Ancient Demon Seed!

Just as Xing was about to press the advantage and finish it off, the Serpent Demon Seed shot forward and wrapped itself around Xing, binding all four of his legs!

Like a rope that kept tightening, the Serpent Demon Seed constricted around Xing and made him stumble, abruptly slowing his pursuit of the Ancient Demon Seed.

Serpent Bind (A-Rank, Active Ability): A serpent's innate ability. The serpent coils tightly around its prey, rendering it completely immobile!

This ability possessed terrifying offensive power. Against an opponent with the same Physical Attribute, anyone caught in the Serpent Demon Seed's coils would have absolutely no chance of breaking free. They could only become its prey!

Unfortunately for it, the combined effects of Dragon Might Domain and Dragon Blood Amplification had strengthened one side while weakening the other. Xing's Physical Attribute had originally been 200 Points, and his current physical strength far surpassed that of the two Demon Seeds!

Xing exerted all four limbs with frenzied force. The Serpent Demon Seed's body creaked and groaned as though it were about to be torn apart. At the same time, Dragon Flame erupted from Xing's mouth and blasted toward the Ancient Demon Seed in the distance.

The red glow before it grew more intense by the second. A flash of panic crossed the Ancient Demon Seed's eyes, and a round shield instantly appeared in front of it!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three explosions rang out in rapid succession. The Dragon Flame, empowered by Enhancement, blasted straight through the Ancient Demon's weapon defense before engulfing the Ancient Demon Seed from head to toe!

The Ancient Demon Seed let out a bloodcurdling scream from within the flames. Meanwhile, the Serpent Demon Seed wrapped around Xing's legs was ripped apart inch by inch, black Demon Blood gushing from its body.

Shed Skin activated!

In the blink of an eye, the Serpent Demon Seed reappeared beside the Ancient Demon Seed. At the same time, Black Light enveloped the Ancient Demon Seed, and its injuries immediately began to heal!

This was the Ancient Demon Seed's fourth ability.

Reconstruction (S-Rank, Active Ability): Consumes a vast amount of stamina to activate the Skill. Upon use, it completely heals all injuries suffered by the Host.

It was an exceptionally effective healing ability, but the cost was equally immense!

The Ancient Demon Seed remained where it stood, panting heavily. It was obvious that even with its strength, it could not use this ability many times!

Seeing Xing charging toward them once more, the Ancient Demon Seed slapped the Serpent Demon Seed beside it.

"Go! Back to the city wall, quickly!"

At the Ancient Demon Seed's command, the Serpent Demon Seed opened its enormous maw and swallowed the Ancient Demon Seed whole.

Serpent Swallow (Rank B, Active Ability): A serpent creature's method of feeding. Allows the Host to swallow an enemy unit whole and rapidly digest the target.

This was inherently an offensive ability. By using it to swallow an opponent whole, the Serpent Demon Seed could digest even an enemy of the same level in a short time with the terrifying power inside its body.

But now, it was using the ability to help the Ancient Demon Seed escape!

After swallowing the Ancient Demon Seed, the Serpent Demon Seed sped toward the city wall.

Boom!

The explosive Dragon Flame struck the Serpent Demon Seed, and it immediately activated Shed Skin!

As an empty snakeskin dropped to the ground, the Serpent Demon Seed reappeared a thousand meters ahead!

Xing locked onto its new position and spread his wings. He surged forward at tremendous speed, caught up to the Serpent Demon Seed, and tore its body apart with his front claws!

Unfortunately, it was another empty snakeskin!

In a single minute, the Serpent Demon Seed activated Shed Skin eight times, forcibly shifting itself all the way back to the Demon City's wall. It then used the Demon City Shield to keep Xing outside.

Its mouth suddenly bulged, and the Serpent Demon Seed spat the Ancient Demon Seed back out!

Covered in slime, with its outer hide corroded beyond recognition, the Ancient Demon Seed unleashed an agonized roar!

"Blood Beast! Activate it now! I want that thing dead!"
