BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1152: Undying Devil Spirit!
Maruf did not stop when he heard Yue Zhong’s warning, instead, he pushed his speed faster towards the Tree.
At that moment, the earth split open, and a huge hand covered with huge spikes burst out, grabbing Maruf with lightning speed.
"Bastard, break for me! Great Vanquishing Sword Finger!"
Maruf was also a powerhouse at the peak-Type 8 realm, facing such a situation, he roared out in rage and executed his secret technique. His entire being seemed to transform into an incredibly sharp sword. It seemed as though there was nothing he could not pierce, and he slashed out at the huge hand.
The Great Vanquishing Sword Finger was a top-tier technique, excelling in offense, and if a Type 9 powerhouse were to be struck by Maruf, he or she would also be greatly injured. With this technique, he had killed numerous experts.
At the moment that Maruf executed the skill, Yue Zhong did not even bother any further, as he flickered and fled towards the distance.
When Annie saw Yue Zhong’s strange actions, her heart turned cold and she quickly followed, fleeing towards the distance.
Xiangma Hui was stunned, not knowing what to do.
At that moment, Maruf’s huge sword slashed down on the huge hand covered in spikes and caused an earthshaking roar. A terrifying shockwave blasted outwards.
A terrifying scene full of despair then unfolded, as the sword that was capable of damaging even a Type 9 powerhouse could not slice into the hand, instead, it had cracked and was on the verge of breaking apart.
Maruf stared at the unharmed hand, his eyes filled with shock and fear, "Impossible!! How could there be such a monster in this world?!"
Inside the Great God World, the strongest existences were the Type 9 powerhouses. However, even they could not withstand Maruf’s Great Vanquishing Sword Finger. Now, some mysterious hand that popped out from the ground was unaffected by it, causing him to feel shocked and fearful.
"Right... this is...!!"
A terrifying thought that flashed past his mind. At that moment, the huge hand grabbed out at him viciously, squeezing hard, and the sharp spikes drove deep into his body, while the immense strength squashed Maruf into minced meat.
"Maruf is dead!! This is an Undying Devil Spirit!! An Undying Devil Spirit!! I need to flee!! I need to flee!!"
Xiangma Hui watched Maruf being squashed to death and her heart was filled with fear, turning around to flee in panic.
At the moment she turned, the earth split apart, and a towering figure of over 20m, with countless spikes covering its body and a dense indomitable aura shrouding it. Its face was savage, and it exuded a terrifying bloodlust and killing intent as it emerged from the ground. This was the strongest, and most dangerous existence within the Merlot Battlefield, the Undying Devil Spirit.
These spirits were existences that had resulted in the battles of True God experts. They were condensed from the battle lust, killing intent and powerful laws. Having absorbed the constant anger, and hatred, and dark feelings, they only knew to eliminate all living things around them, absorbing their death energy as well as negative emotions at the point of death.
These Undying Devil Spirits had a hint of those True God experts’ soul, thus, even half-step True God-level powerhouses without any Gold-grade weapons would not be able to deal with them. As for low-level Type 9 powerhouses, they simply posed no threat to these powerful existences. There were also different strengths to them, with the strongest being capable of eliminating a half-step True God powerhouse. Due to this, the Merlot Battlefield ground was largely a forbidden ground, where even half-step True-God experts would not dare be careless.
As the Undying Devil Spirit climbed out of the ground, it eyed the fleeing Xiangma Hui, and its eyes flashed with a vicious glint. It immediately leaped forward, closing the distance between them, and grabbed out at her.
Xiangma Hui was so frightened that her face turned ashen, and activated her Water Domain at the first moment, causing a large torrential water body to envelop her, while she disappeared from where she was.
Within the domain, she could transform into a drop of water, hiding among the body of water to escape.
The eyes of the Undying Devil Spirit turned cold, as 2 saintly beams shot out from its eyes, shining upon the Water Domain. It immediately caused anything of transformation to be revealed. Its right hand then shot out and tore through the domain, grabbing Xiangma Hui.
She began screaming while her strength was sealed by the Spirit, as her body trembled from the fear and despair, "No!!! Don’t kill me!! I don’t want to die!!"
The Undying Devil Spirit took a look at the pleading Xiangma Hui, and with a cruel flash of its eyes, its hands closed tightly.
With a loud ’pa’, she was instantly squashed flat, turning into a pile of minced meat.
After killing her, the Spirit turned towards the direction where Yue Zhong fled, and its perception sweeping out towards him.
However, since Yue Zhong put on the Stealth Armor, capable of retracting all signs and presence of him, no matter how the Spirit tried, it was unable to detect Yue Zhong.
After sweeping around for a few minutes, the Undying Devil Spirit then took in a deep breath, and let out a powerful roar.
The howl spread outwards like a shockwave in all directions.
The powerful roar could do nothing to Yue Zhong. Unfortunately, when it struck Annie, it caused her body to shudder, disrupting her energy and blood flow, as she spat out a mouthful of blood and her body flickered into view, as she tumbled out of the sky.
"Not good!!"
Yue Zhong saw Annie appear and his heart skipped a beat. Annie’s stealth technique was powerful, which the Undying Devil Spirit was unable to see through as well, however, once her true body was discovered, she would only face death.
Yue Zhong pointed at her, executing his Blood Manipulation ability, causing her thrown-up blood to transform into 6 beams that shot out in different directions.
Yue Zhong then grabbed out at her, before soaring and heading for a valley.
The moment the Spirit caught the scent of Annie’s blood, it whirled around and chased after one of them, flying towards it.
In that instant, the Undying Devil Spirit had caught up to one of it, immediately devouring it before turning around to give chase to another.
While this Undying Devil Spirit was strong, its intelligence was not high, thus, it could chase after targets to kill, giving Yue Zhong and Annie a chance.
Inside the valley, Annie thanked Yue Zhong, "Thanks."
Yue Zhong chuckled, "Not a problem."
Annie then asked, "Who would have thought there to be an Undying Spirit here? What do we do now, go back?"
Unknowingly, Annie had already treated Yue Zhong as a pillar of support. If it were at the initial point of their meeting, she would not have asked for his opinion.
Yue Zhong sighed deeply, "No, I think we need to continue forward."
In order to evolve further, Yue Zhong needed more resources, or to kill more powerhouses. However, with the numerous experts in the Great God World, in order to become strong, he needed more equipment or obtain some other strength. Otherwise, if he were to take his time to slowly evolve, who knew when he would become a Type 9 powerhouse.
Hearing his words, Annie replied mildly, "En!"
After resting a short while, she stood up, and disappeared, "I’m alright now! Let’s continue!"
Yue Zhong also stood up.
All of a sudden, there was a warmth from Yue Zhong and Annie’s identity cards. A powerful will transmitted through their card, "This is First Holy Son Qian Chang Qing from the Eastern Temple. Right now, we’re confronting enemies from the Man-Eating Temples, and 10,000-Devil Altar. Any other human brothers and sisters, please rush over to this location and join us to wipe out these damned foreign races."
The identity card of the Holy Heavens had a special function, which was to provide information only of certain duties. As the 1st Holy Son of the Eastern Temple, and was far above Yue Zhong or Annie, thus he could deliver the message.
Following a powerful intent, a map then appeared in their identity cards, showcasing the location where Qian Chang Qing was supposedly at.
Yue Zhong sighed, before asking, "What’s this Qian Chang Qing like?"
Annie thought for a while before replying, "Qian Chang Qing is the 1st among those from the Eastern Temple, a half-step Type 9 powerhouse. He has the Radiant Domain. He possesses countless secret techniques, and is recognized to be one of the foremost experts of the Holy Heavens, top 10 among those at the Type 8 realm, also the one deemed to have the most potential to rise to the Type 9 Holy Lord-in-Waiting position."
