945: Zhang abandoned his human form and transformed into a beast!

A terrifying and tyrannical Aura, far exceeding the Third Stage Late Stage and infinitely approaching the Third Stage Peak, erupted from his mutated body like a tsunami.

This Aura carried a powerful sense of pressure, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

It directly shattered the surrounding Netherworld tentacles into pieces; the sound of the tentacles snapping was like the crisp crack of breaking branches.

Even the cracks of the Netherworld Gate shook, the eerie light within the gate flickering as if in fear of this powerful force.

He forcibly recalled and fused all the Beast Souls, gaining a brief but incredibly powerful force at the cost of losing his human form and having his mind eroded by bestiality.

At this moment, he seemed like a released Vicious Beast, knowing only slaughter and destruction.

"Roar!"

At this time, Hu Lai was letting out a completely non-human roar.

The roar echoed in the air like a thunderclap, making the surrounding trees tremble.

His crimson beast pupils were locked onto Baili Ziyuan, filled with the most primitive desire for slaughter and destruction.

In the next moment, he vanished!

It wasn't that his speed was too fast, but that the pure explosion of power distorted space, making it seem as if he had performed a short-range teleportation.

Under his power, space was like a piece of soft fabric, easily distorted and folded.

Baili Ziyuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and the shadow of death instantly shrouded his heart. His reaction was extremely swift, blocking with his death scythe in front of him immediately.

Clang—!!!

A deafening explosion!

A mutated giant fist covered in scales and beast fur smashed fiercely onto the long handle of the scythe.

That fist carried overwhelming power, as if it could destroy everything.

Baili Ziyuan felt an indescribable, overwhelming force surge toward him; the web between his thumb and forefinger instantly split open, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

His entire body was like being struck by a meteor, flying backward uncontrollably.

His body traced an arc in the air and crashed heavily onto the ground.

The blood and Qi inside his body churned, and his death energy was nearly shaken apart, as if his life was about to reach its end.

"What powerful strength!"

Baili Ziyuan was horrified; the opponent's current strength had completely exceeded the scope of what he could withstand head-on.

He knew he was in a desperate situation, but as a powerful warrior, he would not give up easily.

Having sent Baili Ziyuan flying with one blow, the mutated Hu Lai did not stop for a moment, turning into a destructive hurricane and crazily attacking Baili Ziyuan.

His attacks were chaotic, yet astonishingly fast and terrifyingly heavy.

Every claw and every punch contained the characteristics of different Yao Beasts, either tearing the Soul, corroding energy, or crushing with pure power.

His attacks were continuous like a violent storm, making it difficult for Baili Ziyuan to parry.

Baili Ziyuan brandished the death scythe to its limit, his figure flickering like a phantom.

His figure was elusive in the air, as if a ghost were wandering.

Using his etherealization ability frequently, his body would sometimes turn transparent and sometimes return to a solid state.

He barely managed to dodge most of the fatal attacks. But even so, many aftershocks still struck him.

Every time he was hit by an aftershock, he felt as if his body had been struck by a heavy hammer; blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, and the death Aura around him dimmed considerably.

In just a few dozen rounds, the situation had completely reversed!

Baili Ziyuan, who had just been able to fight four opponents alone, was now completely suppressed by Hu Lai, who had forcibly elevated himself to the Third Stage Peak; he could only barely hold on, his situation becoming precarious.

A solemn expression appeared on his face as he pondered how to deal with this powerful enemy.

"Roar!"

Hu Lai let out another roar, a sound like a demon's howl.

He fused the characteristics of the Heaven-Eroding Python into an eerie claw strike, penetrating the death scythe's defense from a tricky angle.

The claw carried poison and immense power, as if it could penetrate any defense.

It went straight for Baili Ziyuan's heart, as if to rip it out.

Baili Ziyuan was forced to etherealize again, and the sharp claws passed through his phantom image.

However, at the very moment Baili Ziyuan's figure transitioned from ethereal to solid, when his old strength was spent and new strength not yet born—a flash of cunning and clarity suddenly flickered in the mutated Hu Lai's Chaos crimson beast pupils.

As it turned out, his goal had never been to completely kill Baili Ziyuan!

He used the momentum of the missed claw strike, and his massive mutated body twisted abruptly with an agility that defied physical laws.

His body was like a flexible python, quickly changing direction.

His feet stomped fiercely on the ground, which instantly exploded into a giant crater, with dirt and rocks flying everywhere.

Like a cannonball, he abandoned the newly solidified Baili Ziyuan and lunged with thunderous momentum toward Dragon Xuanyuan, who was still in the back with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing and controlling the imperial seal of china to suppress Blood Consort and Ding Lingxuan.

His true purpose had always been to save them!

The previous violent attacks were largely to create this momentary opportunity.

He knew Dragon Xuanyuan was suppressing Blood Consort and Ding Lingxuan; if he could interrupt the suppression, Blood Consort and Ding Lingxuan could escape.

"Not good!"

Baili Ziyuan's expression changed drastically, and it was already too late to stop him.

His heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness as he could only watch Hu Lai rush toward Dragon Xuanyuan.

Miles and Constantine were also tightly pinned down by Zhou Zhentian and Du Xiao, unable to break free at all.

They were also in a predicament during the battle and could not spare any energy to help Dragon Xuanyuan.

The mutated Hu Lai's speed reached the extreme, crossing a distance of hundreds of meters almost instantly.

Hu Lai's figure flickered repeatedly, and he brought that destructive giant claw, seemingly from the abyss, carrying an overwhelming Aura and an indestructible posture, lunging fiercely toward Dragon Xuanyuan.

At this time, although the protective golden light around Dragon Xuanyuan was still shining, it showed signs of wavering under the pressure of the terrifying giant claw.

The protective golden light was like a layer of fragile thin paper, liable to be easily torn by the giant claw at any moment.

Meanwhile, the imperial seal of china was emitting a mysterious and majestic light, exerting all its strength to suppress the restless evil power around it.

However, Hu Lai's giant claw was like a fatal threat, about to interrupt the imperial seal of china's suppression; the situation had reached a critical, life-and-death moment.

"Hu Lai! Wake up!"

A shout full of endless heartache and determination resounded like thunder across the extremely tense battlefield.

In this voice, there was not only heartache over Hu Lai falling into madness but also a sense of resolute determination.

A Blood-red Sword Rainbow, like a dazzling lightning bolt tearing through the long night, appeared on the battlefield at a terrifying speed that transcended human cognitive limits, arriving first despite starting later.

Carrying an indomitable Aura, it boldly blocked the path between Dragon Xuanyuan and that hair-raising, terrifying beast claw!
