A Bloody Battle
A Bloody Battle
Almost unable to avoid the venom, the evil multi-armed king wielded its red fiery bone whips with its other two arms, blocking the venom just in time.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
A large portion of the red fiery bone whip was immediately extinguished after contact with the venom, making it dull and dim; even the originally red-colored bones were not spared as they turned purplish-red. The evil multi-armed king was truly enraged, such a lowly, ant-like lifeform had actually injured it.
Roar~~~~
The originally relaxed evil multi-armed king's three faces twisted with fury at the same time. It tightly clenched its arms to squeeze the snake as tightly as possible, releasing huge amounts of dark energy to prevent it from dissipating while it raised one red fiery bone whip high up in the air and lashed at the huge snake's body without mercy.
Sak! Sak! Sak! Sak!
The lash rang as loudly as thunder, possibly heard by anything within a 10-mile radius while a huge part of the snake's dimensional energy body dissipated. The huge snake struggled in pain as the lash caused its body to be on the verge of rupturing and completely distorted from its original state.
Meanwhile, Sister Hong's sight turned dark and a mouthful of blood surged up her throat. However, a woman's true viciousness was unleashed. "Hurry, attack!"
In the past, she had already suffered a great deal of pain and misery when cutting off all ties with that despicable man. That was truly hell for her. Ever since she was liberated from that place, she had never truly feared anything else. It was merely out of interest or for fun if she acted pitifully to gain sympathy.
It may be one thing to be alive, but death was a type of freedom in itself. With her insides trembling and aura unbalanced, she clenched her teeth — choosing to shut her eyes since she couldn't see anyway — and forcefully swallowed the mouthful of blood in her throat.
"Blood Red Strangle!"
With an excessive charge of Heroic Soul energy, the heavily injured Dharma Idol suddenly regained its power and force, similar to having a sudden spurt of energy prior to collapse. The nearly broken half-body launched forward fiercely, spun around the evil multi-armed king's three necks and strangled them tightly.
"Die!" Her voice thundered as though she had lost her mind, while droplets of blood were spat from her mouth.
The Blood Red Cobra's speciality was venom, but it surprisingly acted like a python. The powerful strangle was so strong that the evil multi-armed king's arms were tightly bound and almost couldn't handle it.
The evil multi-armed king grew furious and tried its best to struggle free. The blood red Dharma Idol's body then sparkled brightly as it exerted force to fight the evil multi-armed king. It strangled tightly but was pulled loose; the same process repeating.
In a short span of around three seconds, the radiance emitting from the Dharma Idol turned dim. It was no match for the evil multi-armed king; it could only act as a temporary hindrance. Soon, glass-like cracks began to form on the Dharma Idol's body!
"Hurry up, guys! I can't hold on much longer!" Sister Hong said in a trembling voice.
Even without her urging, Reynolds had already grasped this chance to condense his power in front of him. In this dark and gloomy world, a ray of white light suddenly took form above the evil multi-armed king's head.
Despite being similar to a Dharma Idol, it was not one.
It was a gigantic blade, 7-8 meters long and 2-3 meters wide. In the instant it condensed and appeared in the air, the body of the blade blossomed with a blinding radiance, with numerous runic patterns crisscrossed across its surface; it lit up the entire dark, pressure-filled world like a sun!
The expression on the evil multi-armed king's faces changed as it felt the power radiating from the Heart Blade.
Honestly, the combat strength of humans was garbage to it. However, those terrifying big moves that could condense in mid-air, Dharma Idols and soul tools etc., had indeed once made their kind suffer a great deal. Despite having lost the battle, human lifeforms still continued to bother them from time to time. The Evil Demons desired to conquer the outer world, as any other species instinctively would. It was interested in that weakening spatial coordinate, but it never thought that the latter could give it the chance to fight lifeforms from the outside.
It gave up trying to counter the Huge Snake Dharma Idol; instead, it suddenly burst out with an abrupt force from its two legs and charged towards Reynolds.
Rumble! Bam, bam!
The evil multi-armed king charged at top speed, making the Huge Snake Dharma Idol its protective shield instead. The Dharma Idols were the souls of Heroic Soul Soldiers, closely linked to their lives themselves; thus, making it as important as their lives. If it was directly destroyed, the Heroic Soul Soldier would lose all his cultivated power or even his life. There were no exceptions.
"Don't worry about me!" Sister Hong shouted with her remaining bit of energy when she saw Reynolds's hesitation.
In such a precarious situation, it was impossible for Reynolds to avoid her Dharma Idol. Sacrifices had to be made for everyone to survive. It was not a big deal to Sister Hong, even if it meant she would lose all her cultivated power or even her life.
During these past few days of trying to survive, Sister Hong had experienced living like a regular person, unlike ever before. Although it was filled with hardship, she didn't face any discrimination. She might have somewhat put her guard up, but the slight warmth she was given was like a ray of sunshine amidst the darkness. No one was born to like being alone. She felt that she had already lived life to its fullest, having experienced being a regular person before her death.
"Attack if you are a man!" Cao Hong's eyes burned with fury. She had already put her imminent death behind her, maintaining her Dharma Idol with her life force.
Bang!
In the next instant, the blade force glowed brightly.
At that moment, the dazzling white blade radiated with a majestic might. The surrounding eerie and chilly dark aura was dispelled. The blade force contained a thunderbolt that was similar to snake-like lightning. Together, a deafening, dragon-like roar was released.
Roar~~~
The evil multi-armed king was angered instead of being frightened. Vibrating with a dragon-like roar, the blade intent made the Evil King sense an immensely great threat. It had assumed that the humans would be hesitant to go for the kill with the huge snake acting as its shield; alas, it thought wrong.
The evil multi-armed king did not plan to clash with its opponents head-on. It released the Huge Snake Dharma Idol and faced its palms forward. Almost instantaneously, a black energy body condensed at the heart of its palms. At the same time, the two red fiery bone whips lashed upward to receive the incoming blade force in mid-air.
Bam!
The whole world froze in that moment, as though the pause button was hit. At that particular moment, the violent collision forces between the two opposing attacks could not find a way to escape, remaining suppressed between both the blade and the whip.
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum~~~~~~~
The momentary pause only lasted for a second. In the blink of an eye, the force of the blow grew into a gigantic circular wave of air pressure.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Reynolds's eyes widened so much that it could probably fall out, and countless veins started to protrude from his entire body. The terrifying might of the Heart Blade was directly linked to the soul. Reynolds was one who seemed cold on the outside but was actually warm inside. Seeing how Cao Hong risked her life to fight the monster reminded him of how his family members lost their lives in the past. With that, it was as though he had lost his mind. That was the last bit of strength he could muster up too.
However, the evil multi-armed king's double red fiery whips were peculiar. This kind of intelligent dimensional life form was a far cry from regular dimensional monsters. At the moment of contact, the originally soft and flexible whips turned stiff and straight. The numerous intersecting and crisscrossing joints on the bone whips began to adjust themselves, locking on to each other tightly to form a convergence. The whips transformed into two bone spurs and one was heading straight for Reynolds's chest.
