1064: Chapter 1063 Another display of supernatural power, the situation reaches a stalemate
The Old Man in Grey Robes exhausted his strength, yet he barely managed to hold on for dozens of rounds.
His defense was brutally split open time and again, his body covered in more and more wounds, and his Aura withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Die!"
Wu Zhankong seized a flaw in the opponent's defense, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. His left fist was wreathed in blood flames as he shattered the shadow shield the opponent had hastily condensed. His right hand's battle blade transformed into a blood-colored fine line, condensed to the extreme, flashing past the Old Man in Grey Robes's neck!
Puchi!
A head with a face full of terror and wide-open eyes soared into the sky! Blood erupted from the headless corpse like a fountain.
The battle came to an abrupt halt.
Wu Zhankong did not pause for a second. He opened the five fingers of his left hand and made a grabbing motion in the air!
A powerful suction force erupted, and the Old Man in Grey Robes's still-standing headless body and flying head were instantly pulled close.
The purple vortex in his right eye suddenly accelerated its rotation, and a powerful and greedy devouring force spread out.
The Old Man in Grey Robes's corpse shriveled at a visible rate as his flesh and blood essence turned into streaks of scarlet light, forcibly extracted and surging into Wu Zhankong's body.
Even the remaining portions of his Divine Soul power were ruthlessly crushed and absorbed by that purple vortex!
In just two or three breaths of time, the remains of a Tier 5 Powerhouse turned into fly ash and scattered with the wind.
The boiling blood Qi around Wu Zhankong seemed to grow slightly more vigorous, and the purple light in his right eye deepened a bit. Although his Aura did not show a marked explosion, that sense of fulfillment originating from his life's Origin and the faint ferocity made one's heart turn cold.
"De... devouring human essence?!"
In the distance, the Two-Horned Expert, who had just barely defeated a wave of Blood Beast impacts, saw this scene. His pupils constricted as he cried out in shock, his voice carrying a hint of undisguised fear.
The other experts also noticed the turn of events. Seeing the Old Man in Grey Robes quickly killed and devoured, their hearts shook violently. The gaze they directed at Wu Zhankong was filled with wariness and chill.
This was not just a crushing difference in strength, but a ruthless and cruel method that defied common logic!
Wu Zhankong slowly turned around, his battle blade pointing diagonally at the ground, its tip dripping with blood that did not belong to him.
He licked the corner of his mouth as if savoring the taste. His cold gaze swept over the remaining ten experts, his voice hoarse yet clear.
"Who is next?"
The Myriad Beasts Stampede in the sky was nearing its end, and the blood Qi Vicious Beasts were gradually dissipating. However, the permeating Battle Intent and killing intent were even more intense and suffocating than before.
After a brief silence came a deeper fear and... the determination that they must join forces!
The remaining experts unconsciously drew closer to each other, looking at Wu Zhankong as if they were looking at a man-eating demon that had walked out of the primordial era.
The scene of the Old Man in Grey Robes turning to ash completely ignited the fear and chill in the hearts of the remaining experts.
Wu Zhankong's cruel method of devouring flesh and blood essence, along with his rising and unstable ferocious Aura, finally made them feel terror!
"This fiend is brutal! We cannot face him head-on! Quickly, seek reinforcements!"
The Starlight Robe Expert's face was pale. No longer caring about face or consumption, he suddenly crushed a transmission jade talisman in his sleeve while rapidly chanting a secret incantation. A hidden wave instantly penetrated the turbulent space, galloping toward the distance.
"My clan's Elder will arrive immediately!"
The Two-Horned Expert also let out a low roar, the single horn on his forehead flashing rapidly. He was clearly using some Bloodline secret technique to summon his clan's experts.
"I request the Old Ancestor to descend!"
Another expert with a cold Aura and surrounded by poisonous mist also gritted his teeth and cast a spell.
In an instant, several signals for help, some bright and some hidden, soared into the sky and vanished into the Void Realm.
Clearly, facing a Wu Zhankong who grew braver as he fought and possessed bizarre methods, they no longer had the confidence to win alone. They only wanted to stall for time and wait for the stronger beings on their side to descend and crush him with absolute power!
The purple vortex in Wu Zhankong's right eye spun rapidly, clearly capturing those spatial fluctuations and traces of secret techniques. His heart sank slightly.
"Time is running out..."
He sneered inwardly. Once stronger individuals, perhaps even those at the Late Stage or Peak of Tier 5, intervened, the situation would completely reverse.
"Want to stall for time? Have you asked the blade in my hand first!"
A fierce light exploded in Wu Zhankong's eyes, and he no longer held anything back.
He took a deep breath, his chest heaving like a bellows. The blood Qi around him, which had just slightly calmed due to the devouring, boiled madly once again. It was even more violent and reckless than when he had used 'Myriad Beasts Stampede' before!
"Middle Divine Ability—Myriad Beasts Stampede! Again!"
He let out a mad roar and threw his arms wide as if embracing the entire sky!
Boom!!!
A blood-colored tide, larger in scale and more ferocious in Aura than before, erupted with him at the center!
This time, the condensed blood Qi Vicious Beasts were not only more numerous but also more hideous and terrifying in form. Many of the beasts even faintly bore grey-black chaotic patterns on their bodies.
The roars shook heaven and earth, carrying a mad will to destroy everything. Like a bursting blood-colored heavenly river, it swept toward the remaining ten experts who had formed a Formation!
"Form the array! Defend!"
"Do not let him break our ranks!"
Lou Mo shouted sternly. He saw through Wu Zhankong's intention—he wanted to use a wide-range Divine Ability to disrupt their Formation and create an opportunity to defeat them one by one.
The remaining experts were no slouches either. They instantly understood, suppressed the fear in their hearts, and quickly adjusted their positions.
The ten people's Auras connected, instantly forming a simple yet stable battle Formation.
The Starlight Robe Expert stood in the center to coordinate, while the one-horned expert and the Poison Mist Expert took the lead in attacking. The others performed their respective duties, either defending the flanks or reinforcing the Formation.
They did not seek to achieve merit but only to avoid mistakes, protecting themselves like an iron barrel. At the same time, various long-range Divine Abilities and Magic Treasure glows were poured out as if they cost nothing, slaughtering the incoming blood Qi Vicious Beasts in swaths, determined not to give Wu Zhankong an opportunity for a close-quarters surprise attack.
Wu Zhankong turned into a blood shadow, weaving through the tide of ten thousand beasts. He tried several times to find a weak point in the battle Formation to charge in, but was pushed back by the dense and coordinated attacks. His battle blade shattered several incoming light beams and poison miasmas, and his own blood Qi was also significantly consumed.
The opponent's turtle-shell tactics, combined with the battle Formation's reinforcement, indeed effectively delayed his hunting rhythm.
The sky was filled with blood-red and various colors of Divine Ability light, and the sound of explosions was continuous, like a doomsday movement.
Wu Zhankong's brow furrowed as he calculated the time in his heart.
He could feel that several incredibly powerful Auras were rapidly approaching from afar. In a hundred breaths at most, reinforcements would arrive!
"I can't wait any longer..."
A flash of determination crossed Wu Zhankong's eyes. He originally did not want to expose more of his trump cards too early, but right now, he had to break the deadlock!
Just as he was pushed back once again by the joint attack, and the wave of blood Qi Vicious Beasts was nearly half-consumed by the opponent's battle Formation, the offensive slowed for an instant.
Wu Zhankong suddenly stopped his high-speed movement and stood steadily in the Void Realm.
He slowly grasped the hilt of that Blood-Colored Battle Blade with both hands and raised it high above his head.
An indescribable sense of silence spread out with him as the center.
