868: Another mutation

The young girl nearby had originally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Wuchang pierce the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's head with the iron chains.

But she hadn't expected the situation to reverse; her body, which had relaxed, tensed up once again!

“Not good, it's about to Breakthrough. Its current aura is already equivalent to a half-step Supreme of the Human Race!”

The girl cried out in alarm. Although her combat strength was inferior to Ji Wuchang's, her vision was exceptional; she saw through the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's current Realm at a glance.

She spoke up to remind Ji Wuchang to strike the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast as quickly as possible, otherwise, things would get troublesome once it completed its Breakthrough!

Hearing the girl's voice, Ji Wuchang instantly understood her meaning, and Killing Intent surged in his eyes.

“Ice Barbarian Battle Body Art!”

Ji Wuchang's gaze was indifferent. He no longer held back, directly manifesting the Ice Barbarian Battle Body. His frame expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into a giant.

If not for the fact that this was a cave, restricting his physique, he could have directly transformed into a giant thousands of feet tall.

Right now, he was merely a miniature version of the Ice Barbarian Battle Body!

Terrifying cold qi surged across his body!

Without hesitation, he unleashed the Mountain Fist with his left hand and the World-Destroying Millstone Punch with his right, striking at the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast simultaneously.

The millstone traversed the air and mountains stacked upon one another as they rushed toward the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast!

From between his brows, Divine Soul Spikes flew out continuously, plunging into the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's forehead.

The Nine Nether Hellfire Beast roared incessantly; the Divine Soul Spikes were extremely damaging to it, and its Divine Soul was being heavily injured repeatedly.

With a roar, it raised its massive pair of claws, upon which flickered deep blue flames.

It swiped its claws out, colliding with Ji Wuchang's fists at the same time.

“Boom! Boom!...”

Within the cave hall, terrifying rumbles echoed madly, and runes continuously lit up around the hall's perimeter.

Where the two collided, pitch-black cracks tore through the Void Realm, and icy void power surged out from the fissures.

The wild Protective Aura directly sent both Ji Wuchang and the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast flying, slamming the man and beast into the hall's barrier simultaneously.

Deep blue flames flickered on the hands of Ji Wuchang's Ice Barbarian Battle Body, attempting to bore into his body.

He gave a cold snort, and a terrifying burst of cold qi erupted, directly freezing those flames into ice!

Inside his body, the Glazed Ice Fire surged, making the cold qi of his Ice Barbarian Battle Body even more fearsome.

Just then, the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast roared and charged directly toward the young girl.

Its body grew rapidly in the wind as its mouth opened, spewing terrifying flames that submerged the area where the girl stood.

Seeing this, Ji Wuchang was greatly shocked. He hadn't expected the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast to suddenly change targets.

“Demonic Path Law-Disrupting Body-Fixing Art!”

“Heart-Treading Step!”

“Night Succubus Soul Severing Art!”

“World-Extinguishing Yu Wang Heavenly Eye, Open!”

Ji Wuchang was enraged, unleashing various killing moves in succession!

He reached out and pointed at the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast, and its body was instantly fixed in the void.

His eyes were brimming with Killing Intent as he took seven steps in a row, raising the Nameless Sword and slashing out three times!

He was truly furious; if this girl died, he would gain another terrifying supreme realm enemy.

However, although he had fixed the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast in place, the flames it had spat out were not stopped and had already covered the girl's location.

Just as Ji Wuchang was worrying, a terrifying light erupted from the shield in the girl's hand, directly blocking the onslaught of flames.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

At that moment, a miserable scream tore from the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's mouth, its eyes filled with terror.

Its heart had been struck repeatedly by some mysterious force until it cracked open.

Its Divine Soul was even more directly mangled as the three sword lights carved several terrifying cracks into it, suffering unprecedented trauma.

Right then, a purple beam of light shot out from the vertical eye Ji Wuchang had opened, striking the single horn atop the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's head.

With a 'crack', several fissures appeared on the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's horn.

The Nine Nether Hellfire Beast let out a shrill scream; its originally fierce eyes were now filled with dread.

Its rapidly climbing aura was abruptly interrupted and began to plummet.

The young girl breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

She had also been scared witless just now, madly channeling energy into her shield, knowing full well how terrifying the beast's flames were.

Fortunately, this shield was extremely powerful, exceeding her imagination; otherwise, she wouldn't have known what to do.

Just then, Ji Wuchang moved, for he saw the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast trying to flee.

His eyes were now filled with towering Killing Intent; he would not let the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast escape.

“Millstone Rotation: Yin and Yang!”

With a cold gaze, Ji Wuchang pointed at the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's location.

A rumble shook the air above the beast as a millstone descended from the heavens, swallowing the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast whole.

Atop the millstone, Yin and Yang rotated, seeking to grind everything into nothingness.

But at that moment, a terrifying surge of fire erupted from within the millstone, and with a violent boom, the millstone exploded.

The figure of the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast reappeared, its eyes full of terror as it looked at Ji Wuchang.

It sprinted directly toward a cave opening deep within the hall, attempting to escape inside.

Just then, a cold fist slammed heavily into the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast, sending it flying.

Simultaneously, two pitch-black flying needles followed close behind, plunging into the beast's body.

Both of these flying needles were coated in Qianji Poison.

Sure enough, as the two needles struck, the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast let out a shrill scream and began rolling frantically on the ground.

“Bang! Bang!...”

Wherever the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast went, the ground exploded, and deep blue flames burned wherever it rolled.

These flames were extremely fearsome; even the ground would burn for a time before extinguishing.

Ji Wuchang's expression was grave. For some reason, an ill omen rose in his heart.

He felt as though something was not right, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

Within the hall, nine runes flew up simultaneously, rushing toward the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast.

Ji Wuchang's heart skipped a beat; he instantly realized what was wrong!

Without the slightest hesitation, he charged at the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast, casting the Demonic Path Law-Disrupting Body-Fixing Art once more.

His figure arrived near the beast in an instant, and he raised the Nameless Sword to slash at its neck.

“A mere ant dares to ruin this seat's grand plans? Begone!”

The moment Ji Wuchang's Nameless Sword swung down, a cold voice suddenly issued from the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's mouth.

Simultaneously, a terrifying aura erupted from the Nine Nether Hellfire Beast's body.

This aura was like a surging torrent, directly blasting Ji Wuchang away.
