Chapter 476: The Death of the Blood Beast
"Their coordination is so impressive!" Aiweier watched the battle below, somewhat lost in thought.
In the battle, Chen Jing was responsible for breaking armor, relying on the Star Gang Fist she had mastered; as soon as the Blood Beast condensed its blood-colored armor, a heavy attack from the Star Gang Fist would surely await it. At the same time, whenever the Blood Beast launched a spike attack, Chen Jing's fists would completely shatter the assault. Su Wanyue's Nirvana Fire possessed immense lethality against the Blood Beast; whenever a gap appeared in the Blood Beast's armor, Su Wanyue's attack would land on the Blood Beast at the very first moment.
Facing a major lethal weapon like the Nirvana Fire, the Blood Beast had to adopt the method of severing limbs to survive; whenever any part of its body was touched by the Nirvana Fire, it would immediately discard that part to prevent greater damage to its body. Although this approach was very effective in the short term, it would be a disaster for the Blood Beast if the battle dragged on.
The Blood Beast possessed powerful regenerative abilities, but that was based on having a large amount of blood. Every time it used its regenerative ability, it consumed the fresh blood within the Blood Beast's body. The Bloodthirsty Orc's blood had already been mostly consumed when it summoned the Blood Beast, and now, under the depletion of Su Wanyue's Nirvana Fire, the reserves had plummeted. If it could not find blood to replenish itself, its only outcome would be to be worn down to death by Chen Jing and her companion.
Sensing its desperate situation, the Blood Beast suddenly let out a roar, its massive body abruptly curling into a large ball as it charged toward Su Wanyue's direction. Layers upon layers of blood-colored armor appeared on the surface of the large ball, making its momentum appear even more ferocious.
"Hah!" Chen Jing's figure flashed, appearing on the Blood Beast's inevitable path. Seeing this scene, a glimmer of successful planning flashed in the eyes of the Orc Shaman's spirit body hidden within the Blood Beast, and the speed at which the large ball rolled suddenly doubled, slamming fiercely toward Chen Jing.
Facing the rapidly accelerating large ball, Chen Jing side-stepped to the right of the ball, her hands wrapped in immense Star Power as she slammed them against the side of the ball. Under this strike from Chen Jing, the large ball was actually sent flying into the air, spinning in mid-flight.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—" The moment the large ball flew up, countless blood-colored spikes shot toward Chen Jing and her companion, their momentum even more powerful than the previous spike attacks, carrying the intent to turn them into honeycombs.
"Star Gang Fist!"
Chen Jing took a deep breath, clenched her fists tightly, mobilized all the Star Power she could, and threw a heavy punch. After throwing this punch, Chen Jing slowly exhaled a puff of white mist; this move had directly drained all the Star Power in her body, and if it weren't for the Star Array and Lingyun as her backings, she would not have dared to do so.
Amidst a burst of intense Flash, all the blood-colored spikes were completely shattered under the formidable Star Power. The Blood Beast's massive form fell abruptly from the sky; the blood-colored armor around its body had completely shattered, but it had solidified its body entirely, crashing toward Chen Jing like a meteorite.
"Whoosh—" A fiery red arrow streaked past above Chen Jing, its razor-sharp tip piercing directly into the large ball. Subsequently, the Nirvana Fire attached to the arrow shaft exploded directly, turning into a sky full of fire clouds that instantly covered the Blood Beast's entire body.
The Blood Beast let out a roar, its form suddenly expanding. Seeing this, Chen Jing and her companion stomped on the ground and retreated rapidly.
"Is this guy going to self-destruct?!"
"Boom—" The air wave expanded, and the terrifying shockwave instantly swept across the entire battlefield. Even though Chen Jing and her companion retreated quickly, they were still blown away by this shockwave.
After landing, Chen Jing retreated several steps, a trickle of blood spilling from her mouth; she had clearly suffered non-trivial injuries. Su Wanyue, who was beside her, had injuries even more severe than Chen Jing's, as her physique was not as formidable as the Star Body. However, the Nirvana Fire within her body played a huge role in recovering from injuries, causing her recovery speed to increase several-fold.
In the smoke and dust of the self-destruction, the Blood Beast's form appeared once again. But after the self-destruction, its body had shrunk to about two meters in height. After shrinking, the Blood Beast's speed increased once more; it quickly bypassed Chen Jing and her companion and lunged toward the direction of the city wall.
This self-destruction had exhausted the last of the blood power within its body, which meant its regenerative ability was already ruined. But as long as it could charge onto the city wall and have the blood of those Pawns as replenishment, it believed it could crush these two strange women.
As for the Blood Beast bypassing them, Chen Jing and her companion no longer had the strength to continue the pursuit; whether it was Chen Jing's full-force Star Gang Fist earlier or Su Wanyue's Nirvana Rocket, both had pushed their states to the limit, causing them to lose the power to strike again.
"It looks like they have reached their limit!" Lingyun said, watching the motionless Chen Jing and her companion.
"Lingyun, I am increasingly believing that the people around you are all monsters. Two Ninth Rank individuals actually managed to force a Saint Domain Mid-stage Blood Beast to use self-mutilation to shake off an attack; this is simply impossible!" Aiweier said with a bitter smile.
"No, this is just the beginning. Jingjing has not fully mastered the Star Power, and the Star Gang Fist is also just a beginner's practice. The Nirvana Fire on Wanyue is not pure enough, and her own control over fire is just at the entry level. If both of them bring their current power to a state of perfection, then dealing with a Blood Beast would be nothing more than a small matter!" Lingyun said.
"The Blood Beast is charging at the city wall now; aren't you going to make a move?" Aiweier said to Lingyun, watching the Blood Beast constantly dodging the garrison's attacks.
"Make a move? I have already made a move!" Lingyun smiled slightly, and Shen Sachi had already disappeared from where he stood.
"Click, click—" The Blood Beast, moving at high speed, suddenly slowed down, and finally, it froze abruptly in mid-air.
The city defense commander looked toward the Blood Beast's direction, only to find that countless dense threads had appeared in the Void at some unknown time. These threads formed a large net in mid-air, trapping the Blood Beast within it. Moreover, these threads seemed to be able to restrain the Blood Beast's ability to transform between semi-liquid and semi-solid states; the trapped Blood Beast had completely turned into a solid state and was struggling fiercely in the net.
"Disappear, you monster!" The city defense commander pulled back the Fumo Changgong in his hand once again, aiming the arrow tip at the Blood Beast.
Having witnessed the Blood Beast's regenerative ability, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent; his formidable and pure Battle Qi was continuously poured into the Enchanted Arrow, determined to blast the Blood Beast into nothingness. Under the continuous infusion of Battle Qi, the air around the arrow tip began to distort.
Sensing a fatal crisis, the Blood Beast struggled frantically on the large net, wisps of blood-colored air currents flowing constantly around it. In order to escape this fatal crisis, the Blood Beast even began to burn its most important core essence blood to boost its power, intending to use this method to survive its death tribulation.
However, the threads Lingyun had condensed with his own Source Power were not so easily snapped; let alone a Saint Domain Mid-stage Blood Beast, even a Behemoth, which was known for its strength, would not be able to snap these threads while at the Saint Domain Mid-stage.
The fully charged Enchanted Arrow slammed heavily into the Blood Beast, erupting with dazzling light. Amidst a shrill howl, the Blood Beast completely turned into nothingness.
After the bright light caused by the Enchanted Arrow disappeared, the city defense commander hurriedly looked toward the direction where Chen Jing and her companion had been just moments ago. He had miscalculated the power of the fully unleashed Enchanted Arrow; the previous attack might very well have covered the two of them as well. They had only struck to fend off the Blood Beast, and if he had accidentally injured them because of this, he would inevitably feel a bit guilty.
"Have they already left?" Looking at the empty ground, the city defense commander put away the Fumo Changgong, then could not help but cough lightly.
Although the power of the Enchanted Arrow was great, the consumption was not small either. Having used the Enchanted Arrow multiple times in succession, especially with the final shot being a full-force strike, it was a bit more than he could handle.
