Chapter 432 - 432 Black Coffin!
The terrifying murderous intent on his body mingled with astonishing power, condensing into an expanding black dragon phantom. The burly man even felt his life force being siphoned off by Qin Huai, who was like a blood-sucking demon at the moment. As time passed, he was destined to become weaker and weaker in this space.
Puff!
Taking a step forward, the burly man spat out a mouthful of black blood. He looked down at his hands, which had turned a dark, purplish-black. His fatigue clouded his mind.
“What kind of cultivation technique is this? Why does it feel like you’re stealing everything from me?!” The man looked terrified. He had never seen anyone like this in the Sacred Heart sect. Moreover, the speed at which his energy was being drained was shocking.
He suddenly understood. “As long as I’m injured, you’re stealing my vitality and strength from my wounds, aren’t you?” His mind raced as he trembled, trying to find a flaw in Qin Huai’s peculiar methods.
In the next instant, the burly man launched an attack. He charged straight at Qin Huai, and the formidable power of an expert in the visceral prefecture realm surged.
“Please, Lord!” The burly man roared, striking his chest, and a phantom of a stone pillar appeared behind him. The stone pillar phantom rotated, and waves of ripples burst forth, colliding with Qin Huai’s black dragon world.
Qin Huai narrowed his eyes, noticing the human figure totem on the stone pillar. Even after members of the Sacred Heart sect advanced to the visceral prefecture realm, they still revered the head of their sect. The spirit item the burly man chose must have belonged to his sect leader.
Qin Huai immediately understood the other’s guardian spirit item. The ripples from the stone pillar totem and the surging power counteracted the absorption of Qin Huai’s black dragon world.
“Hahaha… The power of our sect’s sacred sovereign can resist any demons and monsters in this world, not to mention your so-called emperor’s force,” he gloated. “Even if you set up a great array, I can move freely under the protection of our lord!”
The moment the burly man produced his guardian spirit item, his confidence seemed to return. The strength in his body was no longer being weakened by the pulling sensation. Activating the blood heart technique again, his face flushed, and his abdominal wound started to heal.
The next moment, his punch packed with surging force charged at Qin Huai from a distance of two to three meters. The burly man, with his formidable physique, swung his fist with the weight of a mountain behind it.
But Qin Huai didn’t dodge. The black dragon behind him surged with his punch and collided with the burly man’s attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several punches were traded rapidly, their force dissipating around them. However, it disappeared without a trace a few meters away.
The black dragon’s energy shattered, only to gather again. The ripples around the burly man caused the ground to cave in repeatedly. With each blow, the intensity of the duel escalated, plunging both combatants a meter underground in just a few strikes.
The burly man grimaced, looking at the increasingly noticeable purple-black color at his fist’s tip. Even after summoning his guardian spirit item, the sacred sovereign totem, he found himself on equal footing with Qin Huai. This fact was an immense insult, considering he was a respected visceral prefecture realm expert. It was an absolute humiliation.
“I don’t believe that your so-called emperor’s force can last forever!” he bellowed. ρ
Such overpowering strength surely had a time limit. He believed that if he could endure until then, the scales would completely tip in his favor.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sacred sovereign totem behind the burly man started to disintegrate. It crumbled piece by piece, forming a red trail in the air that gathered towards Qin Huai. The next moment, the healing wound on the man’s abdomen started to rupture again, with an even stronger force attempting to extract the man’s flesh and organs.
“What…” The burly man’s eyes were filled with fear.
As he opened his mouth, he felt a stream of life energy flow out. Quickly, he covered his mouth to halt the escape of his essence. He realized that the qi and blood extracted from him earlier were only passively drawn by the barely visible barrier. Now, Qin Huai was on the offensive.
He looked at Qin Huai’s palm, which was filled with thousands of blood essences, the projection of the lord’s totem, his own flesh and blood, and even his life force, quickly condensing into a black orb of light. It appeared as if a black dragon was roaming within the orb.
“Aaaaah!” Enraged, the burly man charged toward Qin Huai without regard for the essence energy lost earlier.
Boom!
But the terrifying suction force surged again, weakening the man’s body. His muscular build was gradually shrinking, and his strength dwindled as he got closer to Qin Huai. Gritting his teeth and seeing Qin Huai so close, he decided to fight to the death.
“Please, Lord!” he roared, once again invoking the essence in his mouth. His eyes suddenly sharpened, and his aura turned malicious.
Whoosh!
Swift as lightning, his fist drew a fierce wind. A white bone spike unexpectedly emerged mid-punch, taking Qin Huai by surprise. The meter-long bone spike instantly coated in blood pierced Qin Huai’s body. The burly man didn’t even have time to reveal a victorious smile.
Boom!
The figure before him vanished, and the white bone plummeted, whistling through the air and leaving a white mark in the black dragon world with a heavy thud. Qin Huai’s body was severed at the waist. But it was an illusion.
Bang!
The white bones in the burly man’s hand instantly crumbled and were siphoned off into the air, just like his blood and qi.
