227: Chapter 227 Reorganization Completed, Blood Beast's Sneak Attack
"Gurgle... Sizzle..."
The subtle sound of flesh rubbing against flesh was piercingly loud in the deathly silent ruins.
Su Chen, having just released Conqueror's Haki and stunned tens of thousands of rebels, hovered in mid-air; he did not turn around.
But deep within his profound black eyes, a cold glint flashed.
Below, in the massive crater that had been forcibly stomped out by Su Chen, a transformation occurred once again!
"Commander! You... look in the pit!" In front of the shelter gate, a soldier of the Zhenyuan Army pointed at the distant deep pit, his voice trembling like a sieve.
The commander turned his head sharply to look; the next second, the ecstasy on his face instantly froze, and his pupils contracted violently!
He saw that at the bottom of the huge crater, the minced meat and debris that had been torn apart by Su Chen and turned into a rain of blood were now defying all Laws of physics!
They were not dead; not only were they not dead, but it was as if they were being pulled by some strange, high-dimensional Law!
"Gurgle-gurgle!"
Those chunks of meat scattered on the ground and the black blood seeping into the soil were ignoring gravity; they were all floating up from the ground!
"Is it reviving again?" the commander roared in despair, his notched combat blade nearly falling from his hand.
Too fast!
The speed of reconstitution this time was so fast it made one's scalp tingle; it was even twice as fast as when it had been blown to pieces by thousands of military missiles earlier!
It had only taken the short dozen seconds that Su Chen spent releasing Conqueror's Haki to clear out tens of thousands of grunt soldiers!
Those fragments of flesh floating in the sky were like a movie scene played in reverse; they converged at high speed in mid-air, stitching themselves together frantically!
"Click, click, click!" The crisp sounds of bones reassembling rang out densely.
In the blink of an eye, an undamaged Undead Blood Beast, whose size was even one-third larger than before, had completely reformed in the ruins!
The purple-gray insulating layer on its body had become even thicker, and the aura of the abyss radiating from its body made everyone in the city unable to breathe!
"It's over... This monster simply cannot be killed!"
"Shura's kick was so terrifying, yet it still couldn't obliterate it!" Inside the underground shelter, the civilians who had just been cheering fell back into deep despair.
However, the Undead Blood Beast, after this resurrection, acted extremely abnormally!
It did not roar at the sky in frustration like before, nor did it go to devour the unconscious Royal rebel soldiers on the ground.
Its massive, bloated body became eerily quiet where it stood.
This forbidden creature born from the concept of the abyss seemed to have acquired some kind of cunning instinct; it had just personally experienced the terrifying power of Su Chen's kick.
In its simple microscopic consciousness, it was very clear: the youth in tattered black clothes in mid-air was extremely dangerous!
If it met him head-on, it would be blown apart again; it needed to ambush him!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
The Undead Blood Beast's mountain-like body suddenly began to collapse violently; it had actually voluntarily abandoned its fixed form!
"What is it doing?" The soldiers in the distance were dumbfounded.
In just one second, the blood beast's massive body liquefied instantly!
It turned into a large patch of extremely viscous, foul-smelling, dark red blood!
Immediately after, this pool of blood suddenly expanded in mid-air; it was like a massive blood-red net that blotted out the sky, large enough to cover several city blocks!
"Sshhh-la!"
On this massive blood-red net, pale green, highly acidic venom dripped down continuously; as the venom landed on the ruins below, even hard reinforced concrete was instantly corroded into white smoke!
This was no mere net; this was clearly an open maw of the abyss, a giant, living stomach capable of digesting everything!
"Whoosh!"
The giant blood-red net lunged in mid-air, like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait for a long time, attacking from Su Chen's blind spot—directly behind him!
It pounced silently, attempting to swallow Su Chen, who was hovering in mid-air, along with the air around him, in one bite!
"Oh no!"
In the distance, in mid-air, Major General Lei Wuji, who had just caught his breath, happened to turn his head and see this terrifying scene!
Major General Lei Wuji's heart stopped abruptly for a split second, and the blood in his body rushed straight to his head!
He was all too familiar with this blood net; he knew all too well how terrifying this thing was!
Just over ten minutes ago, three Tier 5 Grandmasters of the Great Xia military, Major General Lei Wuji's life-and-death comrades, had been tightly wrapped by this kind of blood net!
Their supposedly impenetrable Protective Qi hadn't lasted even a second against this highly corrosive acid; they, along with their weapons, were dissolved alive and sucked into a pool of blood in just a few seconds!
But Su Chen was a pure Body Cultivator who didn't even have Protective Qi; if he were wrapped by this blood net, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Su Chen!!! Watch out behind you!!!"
Major General Lei Wuji's eyes split from anger, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar; his voice cracked due to extreme terror.
"Quick, get out of the way! Leave that spot!"
Ignoring the excruciating pain of his Martial King Golden Core backlash, Major General Lei Wuji forcibly channeled his remaining power of Purple Lightning, turning into a bolt of Purple Lightning, and rushed madly toward Su Chen's direction, attempting to push Su Chen away.
But he was too far away; it was too late!
That massive blood-red net, blotting out the sky, was already like Mount Tai pressing down; it had pounced to within ten meters behind Su Chen!
The foul-smelling wind had already blown Su Chen's black hair!
"Don't hit it with your fists!" Major General Lei Wuji's eye sockets cracked as he roared in despair to warn him.
"Physical attacks cannot kill it!"
"As soon as you touch it, you will be stuck fast; you will be sucked dry instantly!"
"Get out of the way!!!"
On the ground, Jiang Feng and Lin Qinghan had just recovered from the dizziness of spatial teleportation.
They looked up and happened to see this heart-wrenching scene.
"Brother Chen!" Jiang Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his giant axe, ready to throw it into the sky.
"Su Chen! Behind you!" Lin Qinghan's cold face turned pale instantly, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
The hearts of tens of millions of people in the city were once again in their throats; everyone stared in terror, eyes wide, fixed on the sky.
That blood net dripping with strong acid was just too huge; it blotted out the sky, completely sealing off all of Su Chen's escape routes!
Ten meters! Five meters! Three meters!
The edge of the blood net had even touched the hem of Su Chen's clothes as they fluttered in the wind; "Sshhh—" the black hem of his clothes was instantly corroded into fly ash!
"It's over..." Major General Lei Wuji closed his eyes in pain, unable to bear watching the ensuing tragedy.
Physical attacks are ineffective; to touch it is to die.
In everyone's view, facing such an extremely bizarre, concept-level creature's ambush, Su Chen, with his back to the blood net, was already a dead man.
However, in mid-air, Su Chen, with his back to the deadly blood net,
facing Major General Lei Wuji's terrified warning, facing the anxious shouts of Jiang Feng and Lin Qinghan, and facing the terrifying acid behind him capable of melting steel,
he did not panic and turn to flee; he did not burst into speed to dodge; he didn't even turn his head once.
Su Chen remained in his posture with his hands in his pockets, hovering quietly in mid-air,
as if the blood-thirsty maw behind him capable of devouring everything were merely an insignificant breeze.
"Physical attacks cannot kill it?"
Su Chen's lips slowly curled into an extremely cruel, extremely bloodthirsty, and cold arc.
Within his pitch-black eyes, a scarlet glimmer was frantically brewing and leaping!
"Suck me dry?"
Su Chen tilted his head slightly, and with the corner of his eye, he glanced at the giant blood-red net that was already within reach behind him.
"Then let me see how big your appetite is."
