Chapter 2259: Nightmare God

Outside the hall, the rain was pouring, and inside the hall, there was a burst of roaring.

The blade light slashed, and the stone pillars nearly a meter thick in the hall were slashed into several sections.

Bang!

The air wave spread, and the Ancient God, Nightmare God Nigadi, who was three and a half meters tall and wrapped in exoskeletons everywhere, was slashed back a few steps. It was very puzzled at this moment. In terms of strength, it was a cut above Su Xiao, and its speed was similar to Su Xiao's, but it was completely suppressed after melee combat.

Gray-black energy gathered in Nigadi's hand. It clenched its hand, and a very special energy fluctuation spread out.

Hum~

The energy fluctuation swept across Su Xiao. His body, which was just preparing to charge, paused. The scene in front of him twisted, and all things in his vision appeared with a layer of ghosting. This was Nigadi trying to drag him into the dream world. If his heart wasn't strong enough, he would have been dragged into the dream world by now.

The scene in front of him returned to normal, and the cool night breeze blew from behind.

The wind pressure rushed toward his face. While Su Xiao raised his blade to block, blood energy gathered behind him.

Clang!

The light of the spear smashed onto the long blade, which made Su Xiao's body lean forward slightly. The very next moment, the Blood Beast roared to the sky and pounced toward Nigadi.

With the speed of the Blood Beast and the distance between Su Xiao and Nigadi, it was almost impossible to dodge.

Blood energy exploded, and Nigadi was shrouded in the blood energy.

A few pieces of broken exoskeleton flew out from the blood energy. When the blood energy dissipated, Nigadi was already standing in a giant pit. It didn't see any very obvious damage on its body, but there were a few cracks on the exoskeleton of its head, and dark red blood mist drifted out from the cracks.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to suppress Nigadi. The moment the blood energy exploded, he had already rushed forward with his blade.

Zing!

The long blade slashed across Nigadi's neck. There was no exoskeleton here, so the long blade sank directly into the skin and flesh. Looking at the momentum, it was clearly going to slash off Nigadi's head.

Just as the blade edge sank into Nigadi's neck, the light and shadow around it twisted, and it seemed that everything became illusory.

The long blade slashed, bringing a streak of blood in the air. Nigadi disappeared.

With a swoosh, the light of the spear flew past Su Xiao's side waist and sank into the ground behind him.

Su Xiao perceived the changes around him. Nigadi disappeared out of thin air, not using spatial ability, but entering a dream world or something.

The situation seemed to be that Nigadi was beaten away. It indeed couldn't drag Su Xiao into the dream world, but this didn't mean it couldn't enter the dream world itself.

This was also Nigadi's choice in desperation. Nigadi was powerful, but unfortunately, its ability was countered by Su Xiao. In the case of being unable to drag the enemy into the dream world, its combat power dropped by at least 40%. This battle, for Nigadi, was simply impossible to fight.

In the hall, Su Xiao's eyes looked around. He didn't believe Nigadi could create a huge dream world in a short time. According to his speculation, Nigadi's ability to manipulate dreams was divided into two types.

The first type was invading others' dreams. This ability only needed a medium to be used on the victim from a long distance, and this ability was called "Lord of Twilight." It was precisely because of this that Nigadi was known as the God of Twilight in the outside world.

As for the second type of dream ability, it was generating a dream world and dragging the enemy into it.

The situation now was that Nigadi was hiding in the dream world it created itself. The good news was that the dream world created in a hurry shouldn't be too big.

As Nigadi's core ability, manipulating the dream world was easy for it. Therefore, after hiding in the dream world, there should be no time limit, and Nigadi could gradually expand the dream world. When it expanded to a certain extent, Nigadi could leave this isolated island through the dream world.

Continuing to delay was obviously more unfavorable to Su Xiao. Once Nigadi escaped, the subsequent retaliation would be endless.

As for why Nigadi didn't hide in the dream world at the beginning to avoid Su Xiao, the reason was simple. As an Ancient God, and the type who was ruthless and didn't talk much, of course, it had its own pride. It wouldn't do something like hiding before fighting.

Because it couldn't drag Su Xiao into the dream world, Nigadi only fought melee with Su Xiao for a few minutes before it was almost slashed by Su Xiao. This was very abnormal. With Nigadi's 150-point real stamina attribute and the two-layer bone defense in its body, it shouldn't have been that fragile.

As long as it could drag the enemy into the dream world, Nigadi was an invincible existence. This somewhat unsolvable ability had a risk, which was that after creating the dream world, if it couldn't pull the enemy into the dream world, Nigadi would gradually weaken as time passed. And now, Nigadi's weakness had reached its peak, so it chose to hide in the dream world.

Su Xiao didn't know if his speculation was correct. If it was correct, then he had to drag Nigadi out of the dream world as soon as possible. Nigadi was very weak now, and this was the only opportunity to kill Nigadi. Once Nigadi recovered from its weakness, it could take the opportunity to escape.

After the lesson just now, even if Nigadi came to retaliate, it would drive the Min-Light God Cult as the main combat force, which would be troublesome.

Su Xiao's thoughts turned rapidly. The dream world was originally an illusory thing. To make this illusory world stable enough, it needed a carrier or coordinates. Nigadi's speed of traveling between the dream world and the real world was too fast. To say there were no fixed coordinates, Su Xiao absolutely didn't believe it, unless the other party's dream world had been completely stabilized, close to the degree of reality.

But if that were the case, Su Xiao would have been dragged into the dream world long ago. That kind of ability to create a "small world" wasn't something a medium-tier Ancient God could do.

Su Xiao's foot stepped hard on the ground, and the whole hall shook. A long spear broke through the ground. Nigadi had always used this light spear as a melee weapon, and even didn't hesitate to transform its own right arm.

No matter how you looked at it, Nigadi's behavior was superfluous. But what if this light spear was its node in the real world?

These speculations weren't Su Xiao's imagination. Before being stabbed in the brow by the light spear, he had a feeling that he was locked, and was being dragged toward a certain place. Now it seemed that was the dream world.

The light spear was not only a coordinate, but everyone who was stabbed by it, as long as their heart wasn't strong enough, would be directly dragged into the dream world by Nigadi.

Su Xiao gripped the light spear, and Green Steel Shadow energy surged on this long spear, starting to devour the energy wrapped on it.

With a sizzle, pale blue electric arcs surged, and the surrounding air shattered like a mirror.

Splash~

The "world" around shattered. No, it should be a dream world that shattered.

Nigadi, half-kneeling on the ground, appeared suddenly. The moment it appeared, Su Xiao leaped forward and thrust.

Pfft!

The long blade pierced Nigadi's head. There was no anger in its eyes, no fear, only unwillingness. In another 10 seconds, its weakness would recover, and then it could cut off the connection between the dream world and the light spear, at the cost of being temporarily trapped in the dream world, and constantly expand the dream world, eventually succeeding in escaping.

Su Xiao stepped back, pulled the long blade out of Nigadi's head, and immediately slashed horizontally, without any extra or fancy movements.

With a slash, Nigadi's head was slashed off, clean and neat.

Nigadi's tall headless corpse fell in front of Su Xiao, and the exoskeleton on its body cracked rapidly. No matter how powerful an existence, death was just a matter of an instant.

【Hint: You have killed Nightmare God Nigadi.】

ps: (Only one update today. The pain of cervical spondylosis hasn't completely subsided. I can only write when it's not uncomfortable. Believe me, Feiwen will recover soon. Once I recover, I will immediately restore three updates, and will add updates within the range of my neck's endurance. My body has some small problems, please forgive me.) ===== CHAPTER 2262 =====

On the Spear of Light, gold and darkness were intertwined, mutually extinguishing each other. This long spear, representing hope and light, seemed to be crying out about something. Its master, the Goddess who ruled the day, had died in a dream, cruelly murdered by an evil god.

The Ancient God, Nijadi, did not use this weapon like a long spear; judging by its grip, it was more like using a long sword.

After all, for Nijadi, the Spear of Light was a bit short. This was not its weapon, and it could not use it with the same heroic grace as that certain goddess. It only took a fancy to the spear's power, nothing more. Whether it was used for slashing or smashing, as long as it could kill the enemy, that was enough.

The Ancient God, Nijadi, locked eyes with Su Xiao. Its pitch-black left arm lifted. The next moment, Su Xiao's vision fell into darkness. Through the team channel, Su Xiao learned that Baha had failed the check. Fortunately, Baha had already fled far away and would soon be able to escape the Light-Extinguishing Domain.

Everything before his eyes was pitch black, and his perception was completely suppressed. Aside from himself and the blade in his hand, Su Xiao could perceive nothing else.

Almost by instinct, Su Xiao held Zhan Long Shan horizontally in front of him, but unfortunately, he failed to block the enemy's attack.

A stinging pain came from between his brows, and Su Xiao immediately entered the space-penetration state.
