Chapter 277

Such damage could only strip the Demon Long Zhiwang of 7% of his HP, which meant… the Demon Long Zhiwang's HP exceeded 6 billion!

Absolutely terrifying!

He was afraid that even if he blew apart every shield, he still couldn't finish off the Demon Long Zhiwang.

Running was absolutely not an option…

Luo Chenyu stood atop the Demon Long Zhiwang's head, swinging the spiked club in his hand, bombarding the Demon Long Zhiwang's face without pause.

Every strike dealt damage in the millions.

But facing the Demon Long Zhiwang's fearsome HP regeneration…

"No good… 々｀ …"

Since entering the Demon Dragon Abyss, this was the first time Luo Chenyu had felt so powerless against a single monster. Damage in the millions, compared to HP in the tens of billions, was no different from scraping.

After a moment's hesitation.

He made a decision—to use an SSS-grade Summoning Scroll.

Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede!

A Tier 9 existence should be able to utterly crush the Demon Long Zhiwang… right?

As the summoning scroll in his hand vanished.

A centipede whose body was even more massive than the Demon Long Zhiwang's appeared in Luo Chenyu's line of sight; its ferocious appearance was truly shocking to him.

After issuing the attack order, Luo Chenyu continued his "scraping" journey.

Suddenly!

"Human ant, you dare to command this sovereign—you shall die…"

"You can summon this sovereign—does that mean you're Mangxiong?"

A strange voice rang out. Luo Chenyu couldn't understand the words, yet he could grasp their meaning.

That was…

The same language as his first opponent in the Eternal Arena, Thousand-Face.

Luo Chenyu was quite astonished—he hadn't expected a summoned creature to be able to speak, and even to clearly identify him as Mangxiong!

Good lord, his identity seemed to be exposed.

But… so what? As long as it could go all out and carry out his attack order, that was enough.

"You ghost thing, obediently attack this big crawler in front of your lord!"

"Despicable—you slaughtered the prodigy of my clan, and now you command this sovereign's avatar… you shall die!"

The Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede's eerie voice rang out, yet its body offered no resistance whatsoever. Streams of green breath spewed from its ferocious maw, attacking the Demon Long Zhiwang beneath Luo Chenyu's feet.

The Demon Long Zhiwang awoke from his stun, and immediately froze.

Although his vision was gone and he couldn't see what the colossal creature before him actually was, his senses hadn't weakened in the slightest.

That terrifying aura.

Had to be a super ferocious beast!

But…

Why would such a ferocious beast obey the command of a mere human?

"Human ant, who on earth are you?"

"Oh ho, awake?"

"Big crawler, don't bother asking who your lord is—you two just have a good little play."

Luo Chenyu had already left the Demon Long Zhiwang's head by now, hovering in midair to watch the battle below.

Actually…

What he was thinking about was how to make the Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede and the Demon Long Zhiwang both suffer heavy losses.

Only that way could his gains be maximized.

But for now, the priority was still to kill the Demon Long Zhiwang.

It had to be said that the Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede's strength was worthy of Tier 9—it could breach the Demon Long Zhiwang's defenses with ease and deal terrifying damage.

Especially that green energy, like a bone-clinging tendril, ceaselessly corroding the Demon Long Zhiwang's tough dragon scales.

The Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede's normal attacks were also extremely outstanding.

Attacking the Demon Long Zhiwang in all sorts of bizarre ways.

Yet what surprised Luo Chenyu even more was that the Demon Long Zhiwang could still rely on his formidable body to withstand the Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede's attacks.

At the same time, he could continuously counterattack, dealing considerable damage to the Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede.

As the saying goes.

When two beasts fight, one must be hurt.

But…

The corner of Luo Chenyu's mouth curved up slightly as he issued the command in his heart: "Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede, stop attacking, abandon defense."

"Despicable human ant, how shameless of you!"

The Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede instantly understood what Luo Chenyu wanted to do.

Kill two birds with one stone, reap the fisherman's profit.

The Demon Long Zhiwang couldn't care less about that—he'd been suppressed and beaten by the Thousand-Leg Ghost Centipede all along. Although he didn't know why all actions had now ceased, being able to take revenge was enough.

The next moment.

A black magic circle appeared beneath the Demon Long Zhiwang's feet. Various runes materialized out of thin air at his sides, swirling around him, flickering.

Countless streams of black energy surged.

Strange, rhythmic sounds poured from his mouth.

"Holy crap, that big crawler doesn't follow the rules of engagement."

Luo Chenyu felt the enormous pressure of might bearing down, and he knew he too was enveloped by the Demon Long Zhiwang's ultimate attack.

In an instant, 【Leap】 five times in a row, then sprint wildly through the air.

Finally, that inexplicable pressure vanished.

He looked back.

He saw a black magic circle likewise appear in the sky, countless black flames raining down, instantly engulfing the Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede.

In Luo Chenyu's mind, the Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede's heart-wrenching curses kept coming through.

"Go ahead and curse, as long as you're having fun."

Luo Chenyu loved watching the show and never minded things getting bigger!

From now on, who would dare call him a poor student? He could even come up with such a clever plan.

After the black flames vanished, the figures of the Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede and the Demon Long Zhiwang reappeared.

At this moment.

Luo Chenyu noticed the Demon Long Zhiwang's HP was lower than when it had just unleashed its skill, and its spirit had also withered.

The Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede was, after all, a Tier 9 insect-type fierce beast.

Known for its strangeness, in truth its defenses were not as tough as its outward appearance suggested, and a single ultimate attack from the Demon Long Zhiwang had shaved off half its HP.

The HP of both sides was about to equalize.

Luo Chenyu let out a sly chuckle and lifted the attack seal on the Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede.

The brawl began once more!

………………

Watching the HP of the two behemoths drain endlessly, Luo Chenyu felt immensely happy and proud inside.

This was all his handiwork.

More than ten minutes later.

Under his special control, the Demon Long Zhiwang's HP was already close to empty.

And the Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede was about the same.

Its HP was even a little lower than the Demon Long Zhiwang's.

"Take it down!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Luo Chenyu commanded the Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede without hesitation.

The final strike had to be completed by him personally.

No other reason!

Just high luck, that's all!
