Chapter 444: Fierce Storm
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
“Bang, bang, bang~”
Vines were torn apart, and severed twigs were flying around. Every time Hua swung his saber, he could pierce through the void. There was no way of stopping of him. Countless vines were reaching out to him, but none of them could get to him. The weapon in his hand glowed with some black air enveloping it. The saber was so sharp that it could cut hair with a gentle touch, which was horrifying.
Song Qi was covered up by more than dozens of vines. In the time for just more than 10 breaths, Hua had broken more than 30 layers. He had his eyes locked on Song Qi who was still inside.
Song Qi had killed seven or eight patriarchs of the Stellar Race and all the powerful ones from other races. But he dared not to kill more of them because Hua was coming at him.
With a dodge, Song Qi began to fall back. He controlled more layers of vines to cover up his front as a layer of protection. His vines were finite so he had to use his own energy of life to produce those vines. But he had killed many of the Stellar Race and had sapped their energy. As such, he was able to us his Bloodline Skill for hours without consuming his own energy.
He quickly stepped backward while producing more vines to stop Hua. When Song Qi felt he was out of the woods, he began to focus on the rest of the patriarchs of the Stellar Race.
What was more…
He produced more vines to reach downward, entangling one Stellar Race member after another. He killed them all to absorb more energy of life.
The speed at which his vines were absorbing life energy was terrifying. Patriarchs of the Stellar Race might be able to hold on for a bit, but the average ones would be turned into a jerky in a matter of several breaths…
“Die, die, die~”
Looking at his own race being killed and turned into jerky one after another, Hua almost lost his mind. But he still could not get close to Song Qi. Hua quaked with rage. Those patriarchs and civilians were the hope for Stellar Race because Hua was approaching the end of his days.
Once those patriarchs all died and his end came, the entire Stellar Race would be destroyed by the Titan Race completely.
“Roar~”
Clan Leader of the Stellar Race shouted. The vertical mark between his eyebrows began to bleed. The blood slid down his face and morphed into a coat of blood that covered him, turning him into a man of blood.
“Clan Leader!”
A patriarch that was still alive shouted in pain in ancient language. There was a thing that only patriarchs knew. This was a secret skill owned by the Stellar Race, to enhance abilities temporally by burning Origin Blood Essence.
Beast Kings had Origin Blood Essence. Powerful warriors could refine Origin Blood Essence as well. Many races from ancient times knew how to do this. The Origin Blood Essence was the purest and strongest source of power for a warrior, used for protection of life and for desperate fights.
Hua only refined three drips of Origin Blood Essence for all those years and he was using all of them now. Even if he could win, he would die quickly of old age. That was why the patriarch was roaring in pain.
“Eh?”
Song Qi felt something was off. He felt Hua became more overwhelming, as if he suddenly reached the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm.
This might sound like a minor difference, but one small step at the Human Sovereign Realm could mean a huge gap in abilities. Human Sovereign Realm warriors had Force Fields, which were different at the initial stage and the middle stage.
“Crap…”
Song Qi tried to sense the space around him. He was shocked to find that the Force Field was intensified. His speed was slowing down, but that of Hua was becoming faster.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Hua became a man of blood. He swept his weapon along the way, cutting off all the vines in his way. He sped up and dashed towards Song Qi like a sharp sword.
“Burning Origin Blood Essence?”
Song Qi knew about this secret skill, but he didn’t know how to do it. Only ancient races had such knowledge. He saw that Hua was coming at him and all the vines he produced were cut off. Song Qi was ready to confront Hua with all his strength.
That was right!
He never did all he was capable of. He hadn’t used his Profound Meaning. He had been hiding his true powers just for this moment.
The ring on his hand glared and there appeared many black needles. The black needles were glaring, a clear indication of toxins.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
Song Qi threw out those needles, not towards Hua of Stellar, but to the vines. Those black needles submerged into the needles and vanished.
“Buzzing!”
His ring kept glaring as he took out more black needles and threw them into the vines. Clearly, his Profound Meaning was integrated with his Bloodline Skill. Otherwise, the needles wouldn’t be able to vanish into the vines.
Right at that time, those outer layers of vines began to move. The vines intertwined together into a huge cage that trapped both Song Qi and Hua.
“Die—”
Hua was getting closer. He kept his psychic power locked on Song Qi and he was clear what Song Qi had been doing. But Hua had no other way to go.
He had burned his Origin Blood Essence which could only last for the time for three incense sticks to burn. After that, he would be vulnerable. If he could not kill Song Qi now, the Stellar Race would be doomed.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Finally, the last layers of vines were cut off. Hua flew up like a blood-red beast and hacked his saber at the head of Song Qi who was trapped in the middle of vines.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Hua poured all his strength into this move. The space trembled. With his action, space was torn apart. The noise of saber breaking through the air was enough to crack stones and metals and to wake the dead. The golden glare on the saber was a symbol for power that could tear apart strong layers of protection.
“Ha, ha!”
Song Qi could not run away since his speed was slowed down by Hua’s Force Field. But Song Qi was not worried for a bit. He laughed coldly, waved his hand and shouted, “Have a taste of my Profound Meaning, Fierce Storm!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
Inside the layers of vines, there suddenly sprang up a fierce gale as horrifying as hurricanes. From the vines, needles flew out, pouring down, and covering up the space inside the cage of vines.
Song Qi’s Profound Meaning was of the nature of wind, and it had been integrated perfectly with his Bloodline. Those needles were specially made to be able to release with his Profound Meaning. The materials used for the needles were the same for Xuan Artifact of the Holy Grade, and the poisons on the needles were famous at the Central Plains, the Upas.
Profound Meaning of the nature of wind could make the needles go fast. The needles could pierce through anything, except armors of the Holy Grade. Once the needles were inside a warrior’s body, the warrior would be paralyzed within the time for one breath and die in another…
The cage of vines could stop a warrior from getting away and the Profound Meaning could speed up the needles. Once the speed reached a certain level, the strength generated could be impressive. The needles were everywhere in the cage and there was no way to run. Death was the final ending.
This was the most powerful ability of Song Qi. Once, he killed a Human Sovereign Realm warrior and more than a dozen of the Noble Lord Realm of the Palace of Blue Lions relying on this skill. Average Human Sovereign Realm warriors were terror-stricken at this.
“I am doomed!”
Hua felt hopeless. He would die the next second now unless he teleported.
But in that case, it would be utterly difficult for him to kill his way back in. Even if he could, Song Qi could release another round of “Fierce Storm”, but his Origin Blood Essence could only last for the time for three incense sticks to burn.
