Chapter 294: 292. Battle of the Divine Profound’s Fall (2/4)
"What the hell is this!"
Ge Hua saw his mount suddenly change shape and angrily approach him, feeling terrified. He retreated several steps until Nan Meng caught him with his hand, stopping him from further retreat.
But looking at the approaching "Fire Demon," Ge Hua couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling a bit uneasy. It wasn’t just its appearance that changed, but also its aura. Clearly, their side had three Divine Profound, yet with the presence of this "Fire Demon," Ge Hua felt they were at a disadvantage.
Ge Hua hurriedly asked Nan Meng beside him, "What should we do now?"
Nan Meng’s face also showed some change, but he forced himself to stay calm and said, "Three against three; no problem! You, me, and brother Nan Hao, can’t we defeat one beast and two monsters that aren’t even beasts? Brother Ge, at this point, keeping a reserve doesn’t mean anything, just give it your all."
Ge Hua nodded.
Nan Hao quickly chimed in, "I’ll hold off that dog; you guys focus on this monster."
Nan Hao understood, Ge Hua and Nan Meng were more in sync, so he opted to tackle that lone yellow dog.
Ge Hua and Nan Meng agreed with Nan Hao’s decision and struck immediately.
Bam!
The yellow Meridian Gate trembled.
Suddenly, the ground around them jolted, and then out of nowhere, stone needles emerged, aiming to pierce the belly of the flying "Fire Demon."
Beside them, Nan Meng also emitted the Vibrating Vein Sound at this moment.
After the Vibrating Vein Sound, a spear appeared in his hand at some point. The spearhead was silver, and with a casual twitch, silver light sliced through the air. As he raised it, the spear suddenly blurred, with dozens of spear shadows stabbing incessantly in front of Nan Hao’s chest, aimed directly at the swift Evil Spirit Knight and its new mount, seemingly determined to settle this fight.
"Come on, you wretch!"
Nan Meng shouted angrily.
The Evil Spirit Knight seemed to respond, letting out a strange, chilling laugh.
Cha!
Cha!
After the laughter, the Giant Demon under the Evil Spirit Knight suddenly opened its mouth. With a furious chant, it spewed out raging flames, rushing towards Nan Meng. At the same time, its claw fiercely grabbed at the stone needle thrusting up, clashing head-on. The result, however, was the stone needle shattering with the grasp.
Fragments flew, and outside Cangwu City, another shower of stone fragments rained down.
Ge Hua saw this and his face turned extremely ugly as he cursed, "When did my mount become so strong?"
As his words fell, the flames reached Nan Meng, colliding with the gunlight.
Under the Vein Qi raised by the gunlight, the flames couldn’t overpower it, but Nan Meng, constantly stabbing out gunlight, couldn’t move forward, resulting in a stalemate.
Yet the sole deadly point was—the "Fire Demon" continued to spew flames, unendingly.
"Brother Ge, interrupt its attack with yours; we can’t let it keep spewing." Nan Meng urgently sought help from Ge Hua, knowing that if this continued, he definitely couldn’t hold up. The temperature around them grew increasingly higher, and despite having the Purity Body, facing flames so close would still cause injury.
And once injured, the balance of battle would tip.
Ge Hua nodded upon hearing Nan Meng’s words, his face turning serious as he once again vibrated his veins!
Bam—
After the crisp sound, Ge Hua’s arms and upper body were suddenly covered by rocks, as if he donned a layer of armor. Equipped with this protection, Ge Hua charged towards the "Fire Demon" without hesitation. Just when he was about a dozen meters away from it, his fist swung directly at it.
Punch turned to stone hammer, crashing fiercely.
Then, a red iron chain swept over, colliding with the stone hammer.
Crack!
Ge Hua tried to move but found his fist unwilling to go down nor retract—tightly bound by the skeleton monster’s iron chain.
Just as Ge Hua tried every means to break free, a gigantic tail suddenly swept over. Precisely the "Fire Demon’s" spiked gigantic tail.
Boom!
Ge Hua had no time to react before being flung a hundred meters by the blow.
"Brother Ge!"
Nan Meng shouted.
But Ge Hua did not respond.
Because, at the moment Ge Hua tried to get up, his entire being suddenly became much weaker. Just as he straightened his back, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed forth.
Nan Hao, seeing this, frowned deeply, becoming immensely frightened!
He knew the power of Ge Hua’s mount.
In the half-step Divine Profound, it was merely plain, Ge Hua’s Yellow Level Upper Grade Perfection Realm Stone Needle Vein Skill and Stone Armor Possession, any move could easily kill it.
Yet, the stone needle was shattered with one claw.
After Stone Armor Possession, Ge Hua was smacked by a tail, spitting out blood.
Such a scene of vomiting blood for ordinary people or those in the Body Refining Realm was common; any slight injury could provoke a scene of blood spewing. But for those in the Divine Profound Realm, unless driven to the end of their rope, with internal organs severely damaged, the body couldn’t possibly have blood risen up to spew out.
And a Divine Profound, with internal organs heavily damaged, meant the battle was over!
Indeed, just as Nan Hao prepared to free himself from the yellow dog’s attack to go rescue, the battle truly ended.
That Giant Demon landed with a thud, its claw instantly shattering the struggling stone wall blocking its path to Ge Hua and was then bound by the red iron chain around its belly. With one pull... Ge Hua no longer had a complete body.
Seeing this, Nan Hao’s expression changed as he quickly shouted, "Nan Meng, retreat!"
"I’m on it!"
Nan Meng also couldn’t care anymore; with Ge Hua dead, his intent to continue fighting dissipated.
The coordination between him and Ge Hua wasn’t as high as that between the skeleton monster and the Fire Demon. Just a slight slower move, he ended up with the skeleton monster killing someone.
Though he didn’t understand why Ge Hua’s mount was in such harmony with the skeleton monster, he couldn’t bother thinking about it.
Boom!
Yellow Level Upper Grade Perfection spear technique blasted forth, and amid the rampant Vein Qi, the spear light directly pounded the incoming "Fire Demon," severing one of its claws.
However, the full-strength strike didn’t yield pleasant results.
"Fire Demon" lost one claw, yet the Evil Spirit Knight entangled him.
Nan Hao didn’t hesitate and broke through the blockade, darting into the forest, sprinting away.
Pingping, witnessing all this, immediately said, "Don’t pursue!"
Killing this Divine Profound is of utmost importance.
Let the escapee flee.
For even Mountain Dog chasing could not kill him, while it might give the Divine Profound left by Evil Spirit Knight a chance to escape. Divine Profound, who can guarantee he has no backup plans?
Upon Pingping’s transmission, Mountain Dog halted immediately, turning back to pounce at Nan Meng behind him.
Paw mark accompanied by red iron chain swept over.
Boom!
The aftermath of the battle caused the entire Cangwu City to tremble.
Buildings shook, floor tiles cracked.
At this moment, a sharp green spear light tore through the sky’s "Fire Demon," but was pierced by Evil Spirit Knight’s iron chain in the shoulder.
Then caught by its skeletal hand!
Eyes met.
Blue flames that burned souls engulfed Nan Meng, causing him to struggle a few times, until his eyes became a dark red-black—a sign of being burned to ashes.
Another Divine Profound dies!
