Chapter 556: Attack 554 II
“Hundred-Ard Giant Monster! This guy’s strong enough, perfect for you to practice your skills. It’s yours!” Hei Ying raised her eyebrows and transmitted.
“Alright!” Yu Hong’s mind shifted, and the Black Phoenix beside him instantly swooped towards the towering white giant, over thirty ters high.
This height is nothing; even a two-hundred-ter Black Giant was just like this.
But the Immortal Level energy on the opponent is what makes it tricky.
The Hundred-Ard Giant Monster landed with a bang, leaving sticky footprints everywhere it stepped, resembling a slug, remarkably clear.
“There are other monsters, I’ll go after them, be careful.” Hei Ying threw out a sentence and leaped off the deck without waiting for a response.
Leaving Yu Hong alone to control the Black Phoenix, starting the entanglent with the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster.
The Black Phoenix, covered in flas, swooped down and knocked the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster staggering.
Roar!
The phoenix spread its claws and fiercely embedded them into the giant’s shoulder flesh.
But before it could exert force, its back was struck by nurous arms, sending black feathers flying and eliciting continuous screams.
However, the Black Phoenix’s black flas persistently burned the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster, spreading from its shoulder to the surrounding areas.
The areas burned by the black fire, infused with Yu Hong’s late stage Golden Core Immortal True Essence, also continually burned the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster’s body to pieces, vaporizing and disappearing.
Bang!
The Hundred-Ard Giant Monster hugged the Black Phoenix and slamd it hard to the ground, but had to let go the next mont, as its neck was pecked by the phoenix, creating a large hole, white blood oozing out, causing it to scream.
Man and bird madly slaughtered each other on the ground, black fire and white blood flying everywhere, corroding the ground into dense small holes.
Yu Hong stood on the deck, controlling the Black Phoenix, continuously familiarizing himself with the usage of the magical artifact.
During this, he also tried to release spells himself, aiming at the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster, but to no avail, unable to even break its outer skeleton armor.
Clearly, the attack thods he mastered, except for the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye, were all outdated and ineffective against ordinary monsters. But facing enemies of the sa level, his shortcomings were instantly exposed.
His True Yuan’s power couldn’t be fully amplified or utilized.
Sighing, knowing it was useless, Yu Hong could only concentrate on controlling the Black Phoenix Jade to oppose the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster.
Both sides began a prolonged tug-of-war.
Fortunately, as he occasionally used Chaotic God Light for surprise attacks and the Black Phoenix constantly absorbed True Yuan to heal itself, the battle slowly tilted in his favor.
While Hei Ying chased other monsters and Yu Hong fought the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster, two pale-skinned n with sun-black markings on their foreheads stood on a giant white tree branch in the distant Yellow Leaf State.
One man wore black armor and had a huge blade strapped to his back, roughly as wide as his waist.
The other, dressed in a robe and donning a pointed black hat, resembled the legendary Black Impermanence, clutching a chain scythe.
“Just those two?”
“Just two, we’ve probed their power levels. One at Nascent Soul Late Stage, the other at Golden Core Late Stage, both at Immortal Level.”
“The Nascent Soul guy is tough, we probably can’t handle him. But the other one, seems easy enough. You or ?”
“I’ll go, after we harvest, we split fifty-fifty. I really wonder what the higher-ups are thinking, coming to this godforsaken place with barely anyone.” The robed man sighed.
“You’re lucky, I just woke from slumber, was cleaning up a nearby small area, barely halfway through when called here, such a loss.” The armored man sighed as well. “Once I leave, the other legions will definitely seize the chance to take it…”
“The worst part is moving alongside those entities whose consciousness is barely holding on…” added the robed man. “Alright, end of discussion, the Nascent Soul guy is gone, I’ll go for the ambush, prepare to act!”
“Got it! As soon as I’m done here, I’ll join you.”
“Okay.”
The two transmitted their conversation silently, simultaneously dissolving into black mist, disappearing.
At this mont, on the deck, Yu Hong was still focused on wrestling with the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster.
Both sides continuously restored themselves, making decisive defeat impossible, resulting in prolonged attritional combat.
But Yu Hong had no better option, his ultimate move was the Chaotic God Light, and currently, its power was comparable to the Black Phoenix.
The situation remained in a stalemate, persistently unchanged.
Ti ticked away.
Hei Ying hadn’t returned yet, only occasionally could Yu Hong sense large sharp auras spreading from the far distance, indicating her efforts to clear out the monsters.
So he continued controlling the Black Phoenix to engage the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster.
One hour passed, two hours, three hours, four hours…
As ti went by, the Hundred-Ard Giant Monster gradually weakened. After all, its recovery relied on the small infiltrating groups of Black Tide provided by the array.
Constant attrition inevitably led to fatigue, even for such a strong entity.
“Probably need another two hours to grind it down…” Yu Hong was sowhat tempted by this monster, being a top-tier Golden Core Stage entity.
Perfect for replenishing the battle power reserves in the Heavenly River.
Assuming the Heavenly River could contain it.
While Yu Hong concentrated on observing the battle below.
A shadow quietly climbed from the rear of the ship like flowing water.
The shadow silently infiltrated the defensive array and approached Yu Hong’s feet along the deck.
As ti passed, closer and closer…
Yu Hong’s body suddenly shuddered, sensing sothing, but at that very mont.
The shadow abruptly leaped up, mouth releasing a silent impact.
A semi-transparent shockwave blasted from its mouth, directly targeting Yu Hong’s head.
Buzz!!!
A massive spiritual shock suddenly hit Yu Hong’s head.
This is a special attack that could knock out a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator if caught off guard. It is also the innate racial ability of the man in the black robe, enabling him to rise to a high position within the assassination squad of the Heavenly Sun Sect through this extrely covert spiritual shock.
“Die! All of it, mine! Swallowing you, I can last another hundred years!!” The man in the black robe, filled with desire and anticipation, gripped his scythe tightly and swiftly thrust it toward the center of Yu Hong’s back.
An ambush, dizziness, and then a full-force strike taking advantage of the opponent’s unpreparedness!
This is his assassination technique.
Bang!!!
The man was stunned.
The good news was that the scythe had accurately hit the target’s back.
The bad news was….
The opponent wasn’t dizzy, and had not even broken through the defense….
“What is this!? How could it sneak onto the ship!!?”
Yu Hong was focusing on the entanglent below with the Hundred-ard Giant Demon when he suddenly felt a slight itch on his back, and he was montarily startled.
What kind of monster could silently infiltrate the ship like this?
He was also scared, instinctively slapping hard.
Boom!!
The ship trembled harshly.
Sothing exploded in a sonic blast on the deck, disappearing in an instant.
Yu Hong turned around quickly to scan, but found nothing but emptiness.
“Was it an illusion?” He slightly frowned and scratched his back. He continued to focus on the fierce battle below.
What he didn’t know was that at this mont, the special spiritual barrier in his mind and the integrating Ancient Moon Divinity were faintly glowing.
The forr trait increases spiritual power density by a percentage and continually amplifies the overall spiritual power by twice.
The latter inherently enhances the physique by six tis.
With his current Golden Core Late Stage combined with the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Skill refined physique, directly strengthening by six tis…. plus the sevenfold increase in close combat destructive power from the Giant Tiger Form…
As a result, his close combat power had far exceeded the remote True Yuan’s explosive killing power.
And he hadn’t even noticed….
Swoosh!
From a distance in mid-air, the figure of the Corrupt Traveler silently erged, frowning as he watched Yu Hong below, unaware of anything.
“What just happened? How did Zheng Rou suddenly explode with such strength?”
He had clearly sensed Yu Hong’s True Yuan suddenly enhancing dozens of tis at the mont he retaliated against the ambusher.
After striking back and sending the ambusher flying far away, seriously injuring him, Yu Hong’s True Yuan naturally returned to normal.
“What kind of ability is this? Fishing?” The Corrupt Traveler couldn’t understand. Yu Hong was only Golden Core Late Stage, but just now his montary burst of power was at least Nascent Soul Late Stage….
Except without energy level support, unable to instantly kill the ambusher, with that power just now, no one below Divinity Transformation Realm could withstand it.
“Could he have so special treasure? This kid is mysterious, with such strong repair ability, maybe he really has so special card up his sleeve.” Shaking his head, the Corrupt Traveler seeing the situation felt relieved.
But then he frowned again, as at Wanxue Palace, Feng Xuezi was already up against the Tree Puppet Mother Tree’s Son… ever since Feng Xuezi’s breakthrough, even he had been slightly inferior. His coming out this ti was also due to worry about Yu Hong’s safety.
Now confird that Yu Hong was fine, the Corrupt Traveler quickly sliced through space and disappeared, returning to aid Feng Xuezi in sharing the pressure.
At this mont, several kiloters away from the ship, in a murky river.
The man in the black robe lay on the ground, his body covered in black smoke struggling against and counteracting Yu Hong’s white Golden Core True Essence.
Without completely counteracting the Immortal Level power, it can infinitely devour nearby material and flesh, self-growing, maintaining immortality.
Even without a source to devour, Yu Hong’s Immortal Level True Essence could last at least several days and nights without extinguishing.
During the confrontation of the True Essence, the black-robed man endured the painful sweat as almost all his bones had fractured.
His forehead was deeply indented, transford from a sphere to a flat bead.
To an ordinary person, such injury would be lethal, but for him, he had already died once, now slowly self-rescuing, expelling the Golden Core True Essence.
“What just happened?” The man gazed at the sky, he seed to forget a bit.
Death for them wasn’t a severe consequence, but the cognitive loss and mory vanishnt following death were far more terrifying.
Swoosh!
The next second, an armored man appeared by his side.
“What happened to you??” His companion frowned at him, “How did you get injured like this?”
“I…. can’t rember….” The robed man looked confused.
“You can’t die again, or you’ll beco one of those mindless monsters.” The armored man said solemnly.
“I know, I know….” The robed man nodded. “But my target isn’t dealt with….”
“Forget it, I’ll complete the task for you, and I’ll share half the cognition with you later. Rest first, we’re brothers, I’ll help you this ti.” The armored man said solemnly.
“….Brother Li…. be careful!” The robed man was moved.
“The Nascent Soul side is temporarily held up; you must be severely injured by so hidden power attack. Don’t worry, my protection is far stronger than yours, though less suitable for covert assassination, but for frontal attack, I’m stronger.” The armored man said with confidence.
“Alright.”
