Chapter 611 - 607: Life and Death in an Instant

Chapter 611: Chapter 607: Life and Death in an Instant

"ROAR! ROAR!"

Nine Black Dragons, saturated with all kinds of toxins, roared and circled before instantly rushing at Hong Yu.

Morris’s Nine Dragons Soaring Sky was incredibly strange.

It wasn’t a direct, head-on attack. Just as it reached Hong Yu, it suddenly dispersed.

The dragons transformed into a thick, black fog, enveloping Hong Yu like a dark, eerie, and terrifying cage.

"Hm?"

Hong Yu’s expression tightened.

Inside the dense poison fog that made it impossible to open his eyes, his expression suddenly shifted. He sensed one of the poison dragons descending from above.

He immediately moved, dodging out of the way.

But the poison dragon seemed to have a consciousness of its own. The moment it lost its target, it dissipated and turned back into black fog, leaving Hong Yu with no way to counterattack.

"BUZZ!"

Suddenly, six dragon heads poked out from the black fog, opening their massive jaws and spitting out streams of black Arrows.

These Arrows were all formed from condensed black poison gas.

They were terrifying beyond compare!

Faced with an overwhelming barrage of Poison Arrows, Hong Yu had no choice but to use his Godslaying Spear. This was the first time he had used the Godslaying Spear in the War God Arena.

"Illusion Spirit Spear Technique!"

Hong Yu held his arms level in front of his chest. As his wrists turned, the Godslaying Spear pulsed with brilliant golden light, forming golden mountain peaks that materialized around him, blocking the assault of the black Poison Arrows.

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

The Poison Arrows struck the Godslaying Spear, creating the sound of clashing metal.

It was incredibly piercing, incredibly terrifying!

While Hong Yu was busy fending off the black poison fog, the spectators outside couldn’t sense what was happening within it. Only Morris wore a savage and Bloodthirsty expression. "Heh heh heh, for the past three years, I’ve been constantly collecting all sorts of toxins. My Nine Dragons Soaring Sky is dozens of times more powerful than it was three years ago. Even a War King Peak expert would be poisoned to death inside."

’This battle is mine to win!’

A grim and greedy light flickered in Morris’s eyes as he muttered, ’The title of Hundred Victory War God will definitely be mine. If I can get my hands on all those Treasures, I can exchange them for so many more toxins!’

In the Audience Seats...

Zhao Feng’Er looked nervous and worried. "Brother Ling, Brother Beichen won’t lose, right?"

"Well..."

Xishang Ling’s face was grim, a mixture of dejection, despair, and regret. "This is trouble. I never thought Morris would resurface. Ai, if something happens to Boss, then won’t Father... Ai, it’s all over. I never should have brought him here in the first place."

Zhao Hu remained silent.

But his tightly clenched fists revealed the worry in his eyes.

In another private box.

Ma Lie burst out laughing. "Serves him right! That guy dared to offend us, and now he’s going to die a miserable death at Morris’s hands!"

Ma Xiao nodded, but clenched his fists in regret. "It’s a shame I couldn’t kill him with my own hands!"

"No worries. After he’s dead, we can ask the War God Arena for his corpse. It’ll be nice to desecrate it!" Ma Lie sneered.

Ma Xiao shook his head. "Don’t even think about it. No one killed by Demon King Morris has ever left a complete corpse!"

"HISS!"

Ma Lie sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

His eyes gleamed as he stared at the Battlefield, trying to peer through the dense black fog to watch the process of Hong Yu being gradually corroded and melted into a pool of blood.

...

「Inside the black fog.」

The Poison Arrows in front of Hong Yu multiplied, blotting out the sky like the descending palm of a Demon incarnation.

’Defending passively like this is a dead end. I have to find a way to break through!’ A blue light pulsed in Hong Yu’s left eye.

Suddenly...

He thought of the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes.

’Lightning... it’s the bane of all evil things and toxins!’

’Let’s try it!’

Hong Yu gritted his teeth.

The Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes began to turn, emitting a ring of purple light, as if a purple Thunder Dragon was swirling within his eyeball.

All of a sudden.

"SWOOSH!"

A sheet of violet lightning shot out.

This was the most Basic Level application of the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes, using Spiritual Power to activate the lightning contained within. It was called—the Celestial Thunder Curtain!

"RUMBLE!"

Rolling Thunder condensed into a curtain of lightning that surged forward.

Everywhere it passed, an endless "TSSSSS" sound could be heard.

Wherever the Thunder went, the black poison fog evaporated instantly like ice meeting a scorching fire, turning into a hazy white smoke.

"It’s working! Hahaha, now I have a way out!"

Hong Yu pushed even more power into his Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes.

Purple lightning roared out.

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

This time, it pierced straight through the fog ahead, tearing open a path.

’Now’s my chance!’

Hong Yu shot forward. He kept his Divine Demon Wings hidden so as not to reveal his identity.

Even so, with the powerful physical body granted by the Eighth Layer of the Nine Transformation Dragon God Technique, his speed was still incredibly fast.

In an instant, he burst out of the black fog.

The Godslaying Spear instantly vanished back into his Storage Ring, replaced by the Feathered Flying Knife.

One hundred and eight blue Flying Sabers circled around his body.

With Hong Yu at the center, they spun rapidly like satellites orbiting a planet, unleashing a razor-sharp blue radiance.

The Feathered Flying Knife had no hilt; its entire body was a blade.

Moreover, it was forged from the Ancient Phoenix Tree.

Their speed was phenomenal. They intertwined in mid-air, combining to form a blue Phoenix.

The Phoenix spread its wings, let out a "CHIRP," and instantly rushed in front of Morris.

"Damn it!"

Morris’s expression changed slightly.

He had been certain that Hong Yu was doomed, so he hadn’t put up any defense.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, he could only retreat while hastily gathering a terrifying glow of energy to try and block the Feathered Flying Knife.

An ordinary Primordial Weapon might have been corroded by his toxins, but the Feathered Flying Knife was forged from the Ancient Phoenix Tree.

It was impervious to all poisons, fire, and water!

"SWOOSH!"

The Feathered Flying Knife whistled past.

In that instant, Morris’s body transformed into a cloud of black gas, and the Feathered Flying Knife passed right through it.

A trace of disdain and pride appeared on Morris’s face. "I possess the Ten Thousand Poison Sacred Body. My body has reached a state where it is one with myriad poisons and can transform into a poison mist. Your attacks are useless against me! Haha, my physical defense is invincible, you’ll never be able to hurt me!"

"Is that so?"

A playful look suddenly appeared on Hong Yu’s face.

"Hm?"

The pride on Morris’s face instantly froze.

It was replaced by disbelief and alarm.

He looked down sharply and saw that as the last few Feathered Flying Knives passed through his poison-mist form, they had unleashed terrifying bolts of lightning.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The Thunder exploded within the black fog.

"WAH!"

The black fog that was Morris fluctuated violently. Under the bombardment of the Thunder Power, his body was forced out of its poison-mist form.

The moment he returned to his true form.

The Feathered Flying Knives that had just passed through his body, guided by Hong Yu, "SWISH SWISH," circled back, forming an Ice Blue Phoenix that beat its wings and tore through the air.

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

The Ice Blue Phoenix swept past, and Morris looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

The first wave of the attack knocked him off balance, sending him tumbling backward toward the ground. But just as he was about to hit the floor, the Feathered Flying Knife flew back again. With another flap of its wings, it struck him, and with a wretched scream, "WAH!", Morris was sent flying once more.

This went on back and forth for a good three or four rounds.

Demon King Morris was already bleeding from all over, his wounds grotesque. His blood, however, was strangely black.

When it fell to the ground, it burned and corroded the surface.

It was utterly terrifying.

"HUMMM!"

The Feathered Flying Knife flew back to Hong Yu’s side.

Hong Yu couldn’t help but frown as he stared at the battered, foul-smelling Morris. "You’ve actually turned yourself into this thing that’s neither human nor ghost. So what if you have great power? You single-mindedly pursued the Poison Technique, but it ended up harming your own body. You’ve completely missed the point. I truly feel sorry for you."

"Shut up!"

Morris suddenly looked up.

Black blood surged from his mouth. A piece of flesh fell from his arm, but he caught it with one hand, tossed it into his mouth, and began chewing, splattering black plasma everywhere.

The red light in Morris’s eyes grew more intense. He wasn’t discouraged by his injuries; on the contrary, he became even more fanatical and greedy.

He looked Hong Yu up and down and grinned. "Impressive, truly impressive. Not only is your Martial Dao strength formidable, but you even have Mastery of Spiritual Power. Heh heh heh, if I were to eat a genius like you, I could surely refine you into a great deal of toxin. Heh heh heh, don’t doubt my abilities. I can turn the world’s most precious Divine Medicine into poison, and that naturally includes human flesh!"

"You eat people?"

Hong Yu narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing within them.

Morris chuckled darkly. "Don’t you put on that face in front of me. What’s so special about people eating people? This is a world where the strong devour the weak. If you have the power, you can eat whatever you want. For example, just yesterday I ate a newborn baby. He was devoured by me before his umbilical cord was even cut. The meat was truly exquisite!"

As he spoke, Morris stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, a look of ecstasy on his face.

Hong Yu took a deep breath. All traces of pity and mercy vanished from his eyes, replaced by a grim and icy coldness.

He had originally thought Morris had only become this way in his pursuit of power.

So he had felt some sympathy!

But now...

He finally understood that this was Morris’s true nature—innately malicious, Bloodthirsty, and murderous.

To not even spare a newborn baby—this had crossed Hong Yu’s ultimate line.

"I was thinking of letting you go, but now I’ve changed my mind!"

A layer of cyan light appeared on Hong Yu’s palm. One by one, Dragon Scales slowly crept over his body, spreading out to form a suit of cyan Dragon Scale Armor.

His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the heavens.

Each step he took was like a heavy mountain shifting.

"Someone like you has no right to live in this world!"

Hong Yu raised his right hand, once again forming the Great Destruction Fist.

However, just as Hong Yu was about to kill Morris, the seemingly grievously wounded and immobile man suddenly revealed a cold smirk, as if his scheme had succeeded.

Morris, who was dripping with blood, suddenly vanished in a puff of black smoke.

And behind Hong Yu, a hazy figure condensed from black gas suddenly formed. A cold gleam of light stabbed toward Hong Yu’s undefended back...
