289: Claw King

“Kong, be careful.”

Just as Kong was blasted away, Qin Shilei’s warning had barely left his lips.

Immediately after, Qin Shilei’s hairs stood on end, as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake.

With a thought, he was about to activate his teleportation to leave.

But a massive force had already surged from his abdomen.

Qin Shilei’s body flew backward through the air, and at the same time, the golden light talisman in his embrace transformed into a golden light shield, protecting his entire being.

As he flew backward, he spared a glance at the phantom that had sent him flying.

Name: Claw Beast Emperor

Description: The emperor among Claw Beasts, Platinum Three Stars, excels in close combat; Weakness: If you encounter it, you’d better run.

Run?

Running was out of the question.

The precious golden light talisman had already been activated, granting him three minutes of invincible defense against the Claw Beast Emperor. He had to give it his all and see if he could slay this fiend.

The Claw Beast Emperor seemed to know that Qin Shilei was protected by the golden light outside his body and was unharmed, so it transformed into a phantom again and gave chase.

Teleport!

Still flying backward, Qin Shilei instantly teleported behind the Claw Beast and swung his sword.

The Claw Beast Emperor seemed to have eyes on its back; it dodged the sword with a flash and once again thrust its sharp forelimbs at Qin Shilei.

So fast!

Even though Qin Shilei was still in his Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth state, his strength greatly increased, he could barely make out the opponent’s movements.

Clang!

Qin Shilei’s wrist moved, and the Giant Que Sword in his hand traced a profound arc, accurately blocking the opponent’s claw.

A tremendous force surged from the Giant Que Sword, making his palm numb.

No wonder it could blast Kong dozens of meters away.

This Claw Beast Emperor was not only astonishingly fast but also exceptionally powerful.

No wonder the information from the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple said this fiend excelled in close combat.

In terms of speed and strength alone, Qin Shilei was slightly inferior to his opponent.

However, with the Sword Dao Supreme entry’s boost, Qin Shilei’s swordsmanship was infinitely close to the perfect realm.

With this swordsmanship, Qin Shilei could barely block the opponent’s attacks.

Clang, clang, clang!

The man and the beast, fighting at high speed, unleashed a series of sparks.

Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth truly lived up to its orange entry status, allowing Qin Shilei, with his Gold Two-Star cultivation, to fight the Platinum Three-Star Claw Beast Emperor to a standstill.

Although he was at a disadvantage, Qin Shilei also saw the power of this entry.

“Roar!”

Kong, from afar, climbed to his feet and let out an angry roar, first activating his Berserk talent, transforming into a twenty-meter-tall demonic ape.

Then he activated the Berserk entry on his body.

Berserk (Purple): Increases strength threefold after berserking, lasting for half an hour, followed by three days of weakness.

This Berserk entry was the only purple entry Qin Shilei had managed to obtain from Kong during this period.

Under the double Berserk enhancement, Kong’s strength increased by at least five times.

With blood-red eyes, Kong charged forward like a high-speed bullet train.

Boom, boom, boom!

The frenzied Kong was incredibly destructive, his blows creating cracks on the hard ground.

Unfortunately, the Claw Beast Emperor was too fast; he couldn’t land a single hit on the opponent, instead, the opponent left several deep wounds on his body.

Qin Shilei also found that because the opponent was too fast, his Giant Que Sword was blocked by the opponent’s sharp and hard claws every time, preventing Divine Power Stiffening from taking effect.

“Hmph, how dare you kill my Kres’s people? Today, you are doomed.”

The Claw Beast Emperor’s voice suddenly rang in Qin Shilei’s ears.

Although the opponent spoke in beast language, Qin Shilei could clearly understand the meaning of the words.

Perhaps the opponent also had a skill similar to Little Strong’s Mind Communication.

“You’re the one who’s going to die.”

Qin Shilei teleported to a distant location, then teleported again to the Claw Beast Emperor’s back.

Lightning Chain Slash!

His figure circled the Claw Beast, rapidly unleashing ten sword strikes.

He didn’t aim to severely injure the opponent, only to pierce its skin so that the divine power could take effect.

Ding, ding, ding!

The Claw Beast Emperor, however, seemed to have completely anticipated Qin Shilei’s moves, easily blocking every sword strike.

“Is that all?!”

The Claw Beast Emperor said disdainfully.

Damn it!

Qin Shilei cursed under his breath.

The combat awareness and crisis perception of this Platinum Realm beast were simply too strong.

Furthermore, this Claw Beast Emperor was a close-combat specialist, and with its superhuman physical attributes, it was completely unafraid of Qin Shilei’s sneak attacks using teleportation.

“I refuse to believe I can’t hit you.”

Qin Shilei quickly recalled Kong, then teleported thirty to forty meters away.

“Can you escape?”

The Claw Beast Emperor flashed, rapidly closing in on Qin Shilei.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

Devouring Thunder!

Tens of thousands of heavenly lightning bolts descended from the sky, instantly enveloping an area of a hundred meters.

Facing such a dense area attack, the Claw Beast Emperor could not evade it even if it knew Lingbo Weibu.

The Claw Beast Emperor was instantly struck by a divine lightning bolt.

“Are you trying to tickle me?”

The Claw Beast Emperor’s expression changed. Although it was surprised by the power of the Devouring Thunder, it stubbornly mocked.

At the same time, the carapace on its body flashed with a layer of dark gold light, and it continued to charge towards Qin Shilei, enduring the attack.

The Claw Beast Emperor’s plan was sound: as long as it got close to Qin Shilei and killed the lightning wielder, no matter how powerful the heavenly lightning was, it would be useless.

With its Platinum Three-Star strength, enduring a few Devouring Thunder strikes was no problem at all.

Seeing that it was about to sever Qin Shilei’s neck, the Claw Beast Emperor revealed a cruel smile.

However, its smile had just appeared when it froze on its face.

Its incredibly sharp claws were blocked by a thin layer of golden light, unable to inflict the slightest damage on the opponent.

And the opponent’s door-sized greatsword had reappeared in his hand at some unknown point, already slashing down fiercely, and its speed was even faster than its own, so fast that it couldn’t react at all.

One-Punch Man!

Qin Shilei had been waiting for this moment. The sword, as fast as lightning, slashed across, and a spray of purple blood splattered out.

Divine Power Stiffening also successfully took effect on the opponent’s body.

Kong’s mountain-like figure reappeared beside Qin Shilei.

“Beat him to death!”

Qin Shilei commanded, while simultaneously unleashing Battle Skill Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky towards the Claw Beast’s neck.

The dark gold light on the Claw Beast’s body flared, stubbornly blocking the Giant Que Sword’s chop.

After the sharp sword qi broke through the thick energy shield, it only shattered the hard carapace on the Claw Beast’s neck before losing all momentum.

“Again!”

Qin Shilei unleashed another Battle Skill, accurately striking the wound on the opponent’s neck again.

Blood splattered, and the Claw Beast’s face turned pale, its eyes filled with fear.

Boom, boom, boom!

Kong’s staff transformed into a blur, continuously smashing into the Claw Beast Emperor’s head, making the opponent see stars, and its fleshy carapace shattered like a turtle shell.

Just as the two-second stiffening duration was about to end, the phantom, which had been waiting by the side, perfectly stabbed the opponent once more.

Divine Power Stiffening once again rendered the Claw Beast Emperor completely immobile.

The man, the beast, and the clone all exerted their full strength, frantically attacking the Claw Beast Emperor.

After being continuously pummeled for four seconds, the Claw Beast Emperor was already disfigured, sixty percent of its bones were broken, and blood was gushing from various wounds like a fountain.

Qin Shilei was about to unleash another Battle Skill to completely sever the opponent’s neck.

Suddenly, the Claw Beast opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This mouthful of blood instantly transformed into a blood screen, enveloping the Claw Beast Emperor, and it fled rapidly into the distance like lightning.
