318: Chapter 318 Golden Giant Serpent

"You'd better just surrender quietly. I've always been generous; I can give you a swift end."

Nie Ning pointed the xueyan bladeless directly at Jonnamon and spoke calmly.

Hearing this, a look of madness appeared in Jonnamon's eyes.

"You want to kill me? I think you're daydreaming!"

Glancing at the gray mist below, he could faintly feel from the Formation Plate that the formation was already showing signs of being corroded.

But things had come to this, so he could only use his final move.

As Jonnamon finished speaking, the Formation Plate in his hand flew out, followed by a golden formation drifting forth.

Seeing this, Nie Ning sensed something unusual. With a gentle flap of the Heavenly Universe Holy Wings on his back, he suddenly accelerated toward Jonnamon.

A look of determination appeared on Jonnamon's face as he branded the drifting golden formation diagram onto his chest.

In an instant, a powerful force surged into Jonnamon's body.

The energy within the formation connected with Jonnamon, giving him a sense of omnipotence at this moment.

Shifting his gaze to Nie Ning, Jonnamon raised his hand to summon a golden blade, slashing at Nie Ning several times faster than before.

The surface of the long blade in Nie Ning's hand was covered in white energy.

Under the influence of transcendent Thought Acceleration, Nie Ning struck out with a white lightning arc blade.

*Bang!*

The two energies collided, and the resulting elemental shockwave blew away the gray mist below, revealing the Flesh Spider bound by chains.

However, the golden chains had turned gray, as the Power of Corruption displayed an unparalleled aggressiveness.

Nie Ning charged through the explosion zone and flashed before Jonnamon.

But with the formation's enhancement, Jonnamon's various attributes increased significantly, and he quickly summoned several Metal Giants to attack Nie Ning.

For a time, Nie Ning was held back by the Metal Puppets, while Fowler, who had been forced back, closed in again.

With Fowler and the Metal Puppets nearby, Jonnamon's powerful sorcery from afar, and the golden chains from the formation, Nie Ning gradually fell into a disadvantage.

However, relying on his formidable physique and the mana protection from his Strange Beast Body, almost no attack besides Jonnamon's could harm Nie Ning.

...

As time passed, Jonnamon's attacks became increasingly anxious and chaotic, and a deep gloom flickered in his eyes.

Because he was unable to inflict effective damage on Nie Ning for so long, Jonnamon began to have second thoughts.

He could see that Nie Ning was stalling for time, clearly having noticed the formation's flaws.

After all, it was a formation designed against humans; he hadn't considered encountering a Corruptor at the time.

Now, the Flesh Spider's Power of Corruption was starting to infect the formation.

If this continued, putting aside whether he could defeat Nie Ning, he might end up turning into a Corrupted Puppet himself from absorbing the Power of Corruption.

But looking at the incredibly powerful Nie Ning and the unique blade in his hand, Jonnamon fell into a dilemma; his greed wouldn't let him give up that treasure.

If he could obtain that transcendent artifact, his strength would surely undergo a qualitative leap!

Besides, the original intention of setting up this formation was to kill Nie Ning.

And Baudis was merely his bait—bait to lure Nie Ning here!

He just hadn't expected Nie Ning to arrive so quickly, let alone that Nie Ning could actually control Corruptors!

One wrong step led to another, and now he was in a position where he couldn't back down.

He couldn't even go to the Yishi Mansion for mediation.

Because he was the one who had told Baudis to provoke Nie Ning, and given the other's status as a creator of Tribulation-crossing tools, it would be easy for people to suspect he was seizing transcendent artifacts.

What was even more fatal was that the Rank 7 experts of the Yishi Mansion had strictly forbidden such things from happening.

Once the Yishi Mansion found out, his fate would not be good.

So the safest way was naturally to finish off Nie Ning!

...

Jonnamon looked at Nie Ning, a ruthless expression appearing in his eyes.

At this point, he could no longer worry about the Power of Corruption; only killing Nie Ning would bring him peace of mind!

As the energy in the barrier was mobilized, a massive number of golden chains surged toward Nie Ning like a tide.

Taking advantage of the gap while Nie Ning was obstructed, the gold elements around Jonnamon began to fluctuate violently, followed by the summoning of a golden formation fifty meters in diameter.

Energy from the Elemental Pool was extracted and injected into the formation.

Sensing this powerful energy fluctuation, the mana within Nie Ning erupted completely. The Eightfold Fusion Power combined with Abyssal Fire to form a massive Abyssal Tornado.

The terrifying Abyssal Tornado tore apart all the golden chains that came near him.

Jonnamon watched this scene with some alarm; Nie Ning's strength far exceeded his expectations.

But it didn't matter; under his full-strength strike, everything Nie Ning owned would become his!

Dazzling golden light bloomed from the formation.

Then, a giant golden-light serpent, covered in protruding scales and with a single horn on its head, charged out, striking down at Nie Ning like a bolt of golden lightning.

Watching the Giant Golden Serpent tear through the Abyssal Tornado, Nie Ning's face showed no anxiety; the slight curl of his lips was full of mockery.

Seeing this, Jonnamon assumed Nie Ning was just putting on a front before dying.

But at the critical moment, a wisp of white smoke drifted out of Nie Ning's body, transforming into a massive, three-meter-diameter phantom of a bear's head.

The Jerky Bear Head opened its bloody maw, and a pitch-black, eerie rift appeared within it.

A powerful suction was generated within the black rift, and the Giant Golden Serpent was sucked into it like flowing water.

Seeing this scene, a look of horror appeared on Jonnamon's face, as it did on Fowler's, who was hiding nearby.

After all, they had participated in the great battle to purge the Black-robed Corruptors back then.

But if they remembered correctly, that Black-robed Corruptor didn't look like this.

Furthermore, Nie Ning could actually control two Corruptors!

"I want to see just how much you can swallow!"

Hardening his heart, Jonnamon began to draw heavily on the formation's power.

Enhanced by the formation's power, the Giant Golden Serpent suddenly grew larger, its thick body surging into the rift as if it were endless.

At the same time, the contaminated Power of Corruption also flowed into Jonnamon's body.

But he could no longer care about that.

Kill Nie Ning!

As long as he could kill Nie Ning, he could bear any loss, no matter how great!

As a massive amount of energy poured into the black rift, the semi-transparent phantom body of the Jerky Bear Head became glass-like, and then cracks began to appear on its surface.

Nie Ning's expression tightened slightly; with energy being poured in like this, the Jerky Bear Head probably wouldn't last much longer.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning used the mental link to channel the energy within the Jerky Bear Head into his own body.

But in just a moment, cracks began to appear on the surface of Nie Ning's body, as he clearly couldn't withstand such a massive influx of energy either.

Nie Ning looked down at the Flesh Spider below and used the mental link again to transfer the energy into the Flesh Spider's body.
