Chapter 7008 Bathing in "Dragon Blood"
"Wow, impressive! It actually withstood my sonic sword strike head-on," Bai Wang said with a hint of admiration as he watched the scene.
To reiterate, Bai Wang's strength is among the best of all the veterans. If he weren't so fragile, his ranking would be even higher.
As for offense, Bai Wang has never encountered anything he can't handle. Even top-tier shield guards are impossible for Bai Wang to withstand. Do you understand the value of the Eighteen Slashes plus Sword Thought plus Willpower Limit Break, plus Sound Kill?
In other words, Bai Wang's talents are all offensive, and his willpower is so high that he can combine all these abnormal offensive talents together. As a result, in terms of killing ability, Bai Wang is basically the top among the three empires.
Conversely, the defense is practically nonexistent. Even with the Soul-Shattering Bell forged by the Demon God, which can activate the Sonic Killing Sword in a ring-shaped barrier to form a high-explosive shockwave wall and a high-energy impact defensive circle.
But to be honest, any of Bai Wang's opponents who could fight him head-on could easily tear this thing apart. For Bai Wang, this thing was mainly used to counter the arrow rain and shockwaves of the Changshui Camp, and to cover the area with arrow rain attacks. That's right, as a T0-level elite with high lethality, Bai Wang was one of the very few fragile characters who could be surrounded and killed by non-Imperial Guard level archers with covering attacks.
However, now that he has the Soul-Shattering Bell, the possibility of being surrounded and killed by archers with dual talents is much lower. After all, if he manipulates sound to form a sound wave vibration barrier, it is not difficult for Bai Wang. Before, he didn't have anything handy to use, but now that he has the Soul-Shattering Bell, Bai Wang has only one feeling: the more he uses this bell-shaped weapon, the more addictive it becomes!
Bai Wang let out a couple of shouts and decisively increased his power. The high-explosive sonic wave vibration barrier even caused the soil around Bai Wang to liquefy during the transmission process!
Wang Pa merely smiled coldly. With the Five Divine Armor on his body, he was fearless, activating all the talents of his equipment. He then swung his spear and charged directly towards Bai Wang. After only a few kicks, Wang Pa found himself stepping into mud, his speed suddenly slowing down. Then, invisible sonic swords, accompanied by whistling sounds, struck Wang Pa from all directions.
However, it was useless. Supermodel's defensive capabilities, the Yuanmo Sword which could sever wills, and his own excellent healing abilities made Bai Wang's conventional attacks basically meaningless. Even if he caused Wang Pa a little injury, Wang Pa's healing abilities could heal him quickly.
As a result, Bai Wang's sonic control and suppression abilities were not displayed at all, and Wang Pa charged over despite the opponent's attacks and the nausea.
Bai Wang was not surprised by this response. After all, with so many demonic weapons on him, his basic attributes were solid, and it was normal for him to have special defensive capabilities. So when Wang Pa rushed in front of him, Bai Wang lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated to the other side as if he had teleported.
After all, he was a veteran of the elite troops, and his mobility was not to be underestimated. Moreover, after a few probing attacks, Bai Wang realized that conventional attacks were completely useless against Wang Pa. Since that was the case, he drew his sword directly!
“To be honest, I don’t usually use the Godslayer attack. Since I reached the limit of willpower, I haven’t been able to use the Godslayer to spar with others. However, since you can control so many demonic weapons and have such strength, I think the Godslayer shouldn’t be able to seriously injure you in reality!” Bai Wang drew the sword from his waist. With the sound of the sword overlapping, there was a resounding sound like the chirping of a cicada. When you looked at the ordinary sword again, it already had a bit of translucency.
Although it's not the Han Guang Sword, the high-frequency shock sword in version 1.5 is still terrifying, especially since Bai Wang added the God-Slaying Sword on top of it, making it a terrifying killing skill that combines physical and mental damage.
"You must hold on in reality!" Bai Wang bent slightly, looked up at Wang Pa's direction, and instructed him, "The battle of the elite soldiers can be decided in a single breath!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Wang appeared in front of Wang Pa. At that moment, Wang Pa's retina even retained the afterimage of Bai Wang left at the previous point.
Unlike other Riders, Bai Wang has optimized his starting method when using the Rider Eighteen Slashes over the past twenty years. He accumulates shockwaves under his feet with extremely high sonic vibrations, and then releases them directly when starting, thus forming a terrifying speed like a catapult start.
This allows the already impressively agile Edge to reach maximum speed right from the very first step of its journey.
With a raised hand and a slash, Bai Wang's fighting style is that simple: extreme speed, pure lethality, and he will never hold back if he can win!
In that instant, Wang Pa was on high alert. Even though his Burning Armor was activated to its limit, suppressing Bai Wang's power and speed in a wide area, the sword was still too fast. Moreover, Bai Wang's belief and will, which had been condensed to the limit, could not be destroyed in an instant, even if Wang Pa controlled the Burning Armor, or even if Zhang Yong used Miracle Enhancement to enhance Burning and Sacrifice!
"Unable to fight back," were the words that popped into Wang Pa's head when he had already completed the teleportation. That's right, Wang Pa's instincts acted before his consciousness could react, and he didn't activate the Wings of Light. Instead, he instinctively used his teleportation talent to forcibly move away and create some distance. During the teleportation, he activated the Wings of Light.
With the two attacks combined, Wang Pa successfully avoided the blow, but this was just the beginning. The moment Wang Pa dodged away, Bai Wang followed closely behind, delivering another diagonal slash.
However, upon regaining his senses and realizing the danger he was in, Wang Pa once again used his best teleportation ability, and with the divine speed granted by the Wings of Light, he escaped Bai Wang's attack range at an even faster pace.
To put it simply, Huang Tao truly deserves to be called the fastest man in the realm of divine speed. After transforming into the Wings of Light, as long as the right talent is activated, he can still crush almost all opponents.
As a result, the battle between the two sides quickly turned into a chase, and Wang Pa, who had the advantage of striking first, successfully avoided Bai Wang's slashes every time thanks to his superior mobility.
"Seventeen strikes!" Bai Wang's eyes even turned bloodshot. He had never encountered such a frustrating moment in his life. His seventeen consecutive strikes hadn't even touched his opponent's hair! Each time, his opponent was just a little bit faster than him, as if he were being toyed with.
In fact, Wang Pa couldn't think about anything else at this moment. He was doing his best to dodge Bai Wang's attacks. He didn't care about the path of oaths or victory at all, because Bai Wang's sword could really kill him!
"Fine, I'll see what kind of foundation you have!" Bai Wang gritted his teeth, activated his sword intent and merged it with himself, then forcefully activated the Dead Death Sword.
I don't mean anything by it. It's fine if I'm not as skilled as others, but if I can't even catch up with my opponent, what kind of Ruishi am I? I am one of the few Eighteen Slashers among the top Ruishi players, carrying the glory of Ruishi. Can't I catch up? Impossible!
The burning of divine will and the burning of sword intent unleashed extreme power in that instant, allowing Bai Wang, who was always just a little bit short, to successfully approach Wang Pa and completely break into the attack range of Wang Pa's spear. At such close range, the spear could not possibly be faster than the sword, in other words, there was no way to avoid it!
At this moment, Wang Pa's pupils shrank. Even though Bai Wang cherished his perfected sword intent, he did not dare to unleash it to its maximum. Instead, he chose to burn half of his sword intent and half of himself. After all, his will was strong enough to withstand burning, and his perfected sword intent was also strong enough to withstand burning. By using the Death Sword in this way, he could defeat his opponent while controlling his own losses.
Even so, this was still a powerful ultimate move capable of killing the opponent. Even before it reached him, Wang Pa felt the shadow of death looming over him.
However, at such a dangerous moment, Wang Pa calmed down and became highly focused. In that instant, Bai Wang's figure became clearer in Wang Pa's eyes, and even the vibration on the sword blade slowed down.
The saying that everyone who forges the same talent will have different results is exactly what this means. At this moment, Wang Pa's willpower is manifested in this higher level of concentration and more precise combat awareness.
His right hand naturally released the spear, and then the sword of transcendence that Zhang Huang had given to Wang Pa appeared in Wang Pa's hand. Without thinking, he mobilized and concentrated all his talents and launched a reverse slash towards Bai Wang!
The moment Wang Pa abandoned his spear, Bai Wang felt an alarming threat. But the Death Sword had already been drawn, and victory or defeat was only a matter of moments. Bai Wang had no intention of dodging. He would fight back, and at worst, they would both perish!
The sword of transcendence, which reversed the trend and cut back, blocked Bai Wang's death sword. The pale blade and the dark, semi-transparent death sword collided. Then, to Bai Wang's astonishment, the sword of transcendence sliced through Bai Wang's death sword and killed him instantly!
The moment Bai Wang woke up in the Myriad Manifestations Divine Palace, he writhed in agony. Fortunately, there were several elite veterans with healing abilities there, and Zhang Huang was also present. They quickly removed the traces of his remaining will, and Bai Wang returned to normal.
"Damn it!" Bai Wang cursed as soon as he recovered. When his Death Sword was cut off by the opponent, Bai Wang knew what it was. He had broken through his limits with his willpower and activated his Death Sword. He was still at a disadvantage in a battle of willpower. What was the opponent? Need I say more?
"Ah, Xiaobai, you're dead," Zhang Huang said with a dry laugh.
"Brother Huang, what happened to you?!" Bai Wang said, unable to contain himself any longer. "Damn it, I was using Death Sword and was about to kill the opponent when they pulled out a Willpower Overlord Sword! Holy crap, can you understand how I felt? I got instantly killed by them!"
"No, you activated the Death Sword, and you still got instantly killed?" Guang Yuan stopped Zhang Huang before he could speak. Guang Yuan looked at Bai Wang with a cold face and asked, "The sword Old Zhang gave Wang Pa didn't have the God-Slaying skill. You activated the Death Sword and couldn't even break through the will to transcend?"
Upon hearing this, the veteran soldiers of the Willpower system around them were speechless. Several elite soldiers who had reached the level of fifteen or sixteen were now too tired to speak. "No, instructor, you're wrong to say that. That's transcending willpower! Even if Bai Wang breaks through the limits of willpower and activates the Death Sword, he still can't break through!"
Willpower system, that thing is just one level, a whole new world!
"It's not that the True Death Sword can't be broken!" Bai Wang, who was originally going to question Zhang Huang, was rendered speechless by Guang Yuan's outburst and could only awkwardly admit that it was his own problem.
"If you're not prepared to die, why are you even using the Death Sword!" Guang Yuan looked at him like he was a clown. "It's just a sword that transcends willpower, not Zhang Huang himself. I can accept that you couldn't beat him if he were real, but what are you good for with a sword that nobody's controlling! Go back and train harder!"
Bai Wang slunk to the side, saying nothing. Although Guang Yuan's words were excessive, they were indeed reasonable. It was normal that Zhang Huang could not cut through the Willpower Transcendence Sword when he was wielding it, but for someone who hadn't even broken the Willpower Limit, to wield the Willpower Transcendence Sword while Bai Wang, who had broken the Willpower Limit, was wielding the Death Sword, and still break his own sword, then it must be his own problem!
The few remaining elite warriors who had left also quickly ran away after Guang Yuan finished berating Bai Wang and looked around. They had no choice; even if they hadn't reached the limit of willpower, they could at least sense it. And now, even a powerful figure with the limit of willpower was being told he needed more training, while they, a bunch of trash…
Glancing at the group of fleeing elite soldiers, Guangyuan and Zhang Huang returned to their seats to eat and drink. Meanwhile, in the small world, after this battle, Wang Pa, who had officially embarked on the path of oath, looked at the Will Beyond Sword in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he had successfully grasped the correct answer at the last moment.
Of course, it was only thanks to Wang Pa's strong physique that he was able to cut Bai Wang's weapon in half, along with Bai Wang himself.
"That was dangerous! I almost died just now. Are there too many monsters in this small world? I've already reached the sixth level of fusion, and with this equipment, even the seventh level shouldn't be able to kill me!" Wang Pa looked at his weapons and equipment with some doubt, because if he hadn't chosen the right weapon at the last moment, he would be dead by now!
Wang Pa removed and examined the five pieces of divine equipment one by one. He then carefully recalled the situation when he saw Zhang Yong and quickly realized that he could not be a ground chicken, but should fly in the air and then use a mid-to-long-range suppressive ultimate move, followed by a finishing move.
In this way, even if the opponent is a strong person like Bai Wang, the battle can be won quickly.
"As expected, we must use our strengths to attack our weaknesses. We absolutely cannot repeat this mistake." After adjusting his state and recovering from the injuries caused by the aftershocks, Wang Pa recalled his own combat style and quickly chose what he believed to be the most correct combat strategy.
After putting away the Will Beyond Sword again, Wang Pa used the Wings of Light to float in the low sky. He dared not fly too high. You should know that even Zhang Yong did not dare to fly too high before. If he had to fight Zhang Huang, he would never have flown thousands of meters into the air at the last moment.
At that height, there are far too many people who can observe it. Many top archers would definitely attack without hesitation if they saw someone daring to fly that high.
Zhang Yong could hold off one or two top-tier archers, but against a group of top-tier archers, even a fully equipped Zhang Yong would be doomed, let alone a Zhang Yong with three divine weapons!
Given the condition of those archers, if they were allowed to unleash their full power and prepare all sorts of charged attacks, and if there were enough of them, even a breakthrough would be instantly defeated. Therefore, even though Wang Pa realized that the best way to fight was from the air to the ground, he did not dare to fly too high.
"A minor mishap, I've got it figured out. On the path of oaths, let's continue!" After adjusting himself for a while and figuring out his next strategy, Wang Pa picked up his spear, activated his Wings of Light, and flew to a height of about 30 to 50 meters before beginning his oath-hunting journey.
"Oh, right, I need to use the Sword of Transcendence every now and then to give the three divine armors a good whack." While flying, Wang Pa suddenly remembered Zhang Huang's instructions to him before leaving the field, so he took out the Sword of Transcendence and gave each of the three divine armors a whack, ensuring that the divine armors continued to be in a state of slumber.
Although this operation greatly damages the upper limit of the divine equipment's combat power, for Wang Pa, he is fighting with the lower limit of the divine equipment, so the slight damage to the upper limit is not a problem at all. Besides, if the divine equipment is really revived, who controls whom is still a question.
After finishing this task, Wang Pa picked up his spear and continued his low-altitude hunt. However, unbeknownst to him, the Burning Armor on his body moved slightly.
"Hey, looks like there are people over there..." Wang Pa flew a couple of times and noticed some movement in the distance. He immediately flew over in that direction with great joy. He had no other intention than to fulfill his vow!
On the other side, Yan Liang, who had just witnessed a super high-quality battle, was now following the clues given by his intuition and chasing after Wang Pa.
After all, Yan Liang had no teammates and no points to pursue, so the first stage of the Grand Martial Arts Competition was somewhat meaningless for him. Therefore, when he noticed the prompt from his Intuition Talent, although he didn't understand what was going on, he decided to go and take a look, considering that it was a hint to get something for nothing. His Intuition Talent had never left him empty-handed before.
In the direction Wang Pa was heading, Minos, Lucius, the Caesar brothers, and Bedivere were doing something strange. These guys were actually researching a so-called blood-bathing ritual, which was the Roman tradition of dragon slayers bathing in dragon blood to become stronger.
This was a ritual in itself. This time, Lucius encountered a seven-fold demon with wings on its back. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the other party was a dragon. Then he dragged a few acquaintances to perform a blood-bathing ritual together. After all, unlike the other unlucky kids, Lucius, as a descendant of the six founding families of Rome, still had some strange things on his hands.
As for whether this thing is actually a dragon, that's not important. As long as Lucius believes it is a dragon, it can have a certain effect. So, the current situation is that these brothers have broken the demon god into several large pieces and are fiddling with them, preparing to see how effective Lucius's so-called bathing in dragon blood really is. After all, it's rare for several familiar people to meet together, so their risk tolerance is already very high. Even if they occasionally encounter a powerful enemy with sevenfold melting, they can handle it.
"Is this going to work, Lucius?" Bedivere put away his Roman short sword, looking at the demon's remains, which were arranged in a seven-pointed star and were still sprouting flesh and trying to piece together their remains. He hesitated a bit. This thing doesn't have any blood at all. How can you bathe in dragon blood?
"No problem, I can already sense it. What we need next is to use the Infinite Serpent talent to absorb the energy contained in this dragon blood, and then, in an infinite cycle, transform it into a part of ourselves. That's not a problem." Lucius said confidently, and then began to perform a ritual in front of Bedivere and the others.
However, I must say, it actually works!
At least ever since Lucius started performing his shamanistic ritual in front of the demon's remains arranged in a seven-pointed star, the seven-pointed star drawn on the ground has started to glow, and the fleshy buds that the demon was constantly growing and extending have also begun to shrink in response to this light. It works, it really works!
"Oh, oh, oh, it really works!" Lucius was extremely excited. His dance, which was originally like that of a silly bear, became even stranger. But that didn't matter. What mattered was that the demon was really suppressed, and bright red blood was indeed oozing from the wounds on his mutilated body.
As Lucius leaped and performed rituals, occasionally making strange movements as if performing some kind of sacrifice, the demon's remains shrank as if they were being squeezed in a juicer, with bright red blood flowing out endlessly, forming a full pool in the pit that had been dug long ago.
In fact, the amount of blood loss was greater than the size of the demon god itself. Moreover, the blood exuded a kind of malice and evil. Although it should have been a liquid, the blood solidified into a colloid after entering the pit, radiating a kind of evil glow.
"What the hell? This thing feels weird. I don't remember the dragon blood stored in our family is like this. This thing feels like some kind of jelly, and it has a sinful feeling about it. It's really a ghost." Lucius only had time to observe after finishing his shamanistic ritual, and after taking a couple of glances, he realized something was wrong. What was going on? Was this dragon blood squeezed from that dragon just now?
This just doesn't look right. Normal dragon blood, even if it doesn't have any sacredness, should at least have some kind of power and be a golden-red gem color. But the dragon blood that Lucius squeezed out this time was dark red and exuded some kind of evil aura.
“I think we should just forget about it. Something doesn’t feel right about this thing,” Bedivere said, frowning.
"How can I give up the dragon blood that I painstakingly obtained using secret techniques because of this little problem?" Lucius had originally planned to give up, but when Bedivere spoke, Lucius decisively jumped down!
I've sent it all, there's no way out!
