Chapter 553: Chapter 449: Forceful Slaying, Stance and Probing (Triple Combo)
Watching the Xue Dao Battle Group he personally led into battle being decimated within minutes, Karon’s eyes reddened instantly, and he was filled with fury.
From the moment he formed the Xue Dao Battle Group, he had personally selected and trained every single member, and now they were being brutally slaughtered in this ambush, leaving him with heavy casualties.
He still doesn’t know who these mysterious enemies are and why they are hell-bent on annihilating the Xue Dao Battle Group!
“Who are you?”
Karon’s angry shout echoed on the battlefield.
While fending off Xiong’s storm-like axe attacks, he tried desperately to find a clue from the face of the half beastman.
But Xiong gave no response, the red Spiritual Energy on his giant axe grew stronger, and each strike was heavier than the last, the axe wind leaving deep scars on Karon’s armor.
Karon’s anger nearly overwhelmed him, but his rationality kept reminding him – he couldn’t keep fighting like this!
The decimation of the Xue Dao Battle Group was almost a foregone conclusion, the only silver lining being that the deputy leader took the other half to search for mineral veins, at least preserving a glimmer of hope for the battle group.
“Just wait… I will find out what drives you and make you all pay!”
Karon gritted his teeth, a fierce determination flashing through his eyes. In the next moment, he fiercely activated the silver bloodline within him, causing the earth-colored Spiritual Energy around him to surge, raising his longsword high and conjuring a sword qi, much thicker than before, to slash fiercely at Xiong.
This strike carried the full force of his power, the earth-colored sword qi was as looming as mountains, forcing Xiong to retreat and defend with his giant axe.
“Boom!”
The earth sword qi clashed with the giant axe, erupting in a deafening explosion, earth-colored Spiritual Energy fragments spattering in all directions, sending swirling snow into the air.
In that brief moment, Karon didn’t hesitate, turning swiftly towards the distant icy mountains escaping, Spiritual Energy pulsing at his feet, accelerating him to the utmost, leaving only a faint afterimage.
“Want to run?”
Xiong focused his gaze, gripping the giant axe tightly and slashing a blood-red axe blade fiercely toward Karon’s figure.
The axe blade carried lethal intent, like red lightning chasing Karon, about to strike his back.
Karon, already expecting this, conjured a substantial earth shield behind him as he turned.
“Crunch!”
The blood-red axe blade slammed into the shield, which shattered instantly, debris flying everywhere, but it successfully dissipated the impact, buying Karon precious escape time.
His figure was on the verge of disappearing into the wind and snow.
However, at this moment, Xiong suddenly halted his pursuit, and merely gazed calmly in the direction Karon fled.
From not far away, Terreda also stilled his Zhanshou saber, a cold smile on his lips as if he anticipated the ensuing events.
As Karon frantically ran towards the distance, sudden acute pain erupted in his mind, as though countless steel needles were piercing his soul simultaneously.
The pain struck too abruptly, catching him off-guard, letting out a harrowing scream, his body staggered in the air, speed instantly slowed, and fresh blood streaked from his nostrils.
“Spiritual Mind Master, who is it!!!”
Karon looked around in panic, his Spiritual Energy perception frantically spread out, but still couldn’t locate the attacker.
Unbeknownst to him, behind a massive icy boulder nearby, Elder Ghost sat cross-legged, eyes closed, an eerie black light emanating from his eyes — that dangerous soul attack had just come from him.
From the battle’s onset, he had been hiding in the shadows, awaiting the best opportunity.
Karon’s Spiritual Ability Level was high, yet he specialized in close combat, inherently weak in Spiritual Power, coupled with a mindset focused solely on escaping, and utterly unguarded, Elder Ghost’s calculated strike wounded him significantly.
Thud thud~
Two heavy footsteps echoed through the snowstorm.
Xiong carried the bloodstained giant axe, expression serene, while Terreda hefted his Zhanshou saber burning with demon flames, a bloodthirsty grin on his face, blocking Karon’s path front and back.
Looking at the two before him, and pondering the unseen Spiritual Mind Master lurking somewhere, despair surged in Karon’s heart.
Yet he was still a Tier Six Seven Stars Spirit Martial Artist, possessing an innate defiance to yield, he bit hard on his tongue until it bled, spitting a mouthful of essence blood — the essence blood landed on the longsword, causing earth-colored Spiritual Energy to surge, the sword blade radiating an unusual blood light, temporarily suppressing his soul’s pain.
“You want to kill me, it’s not that simple!”
Karon bellowed, wielding his longsword to strike at Xiong, the blade slicing through the air targeting Xiong’s vital points.
Unperturbed, Xiong swept the giant axe horizontally, the bloody Spiritual Energy and sword qi collided, emitting dazzling flashes, the two clashed once again.
Terreda, meanwhile, was not idle, brandishing the Zhanshou saber in a flanking maneuver, demon flames scorching the air, each strike carrying chaotic might, forcing Karon to divert his attention.
Karon was inherently at a disadvantage facing two opponents, and Elder Ghost from afar offered no respite — invisible soul spikes continually struck, sometimes attacking his sea of consciousness, sometimes disrupting his Spiritual Energy flow, frequently causing him to falter.
