Chapter 329: Defeating the Enemy
In an instant, Wang Yu faced attacks from both a beast and a person.
Without thinking, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of golden baleful Qi mixed with pure spiritual power, which vaguely transformed into a blurry golden sword, striking the incoming black iron awl.
With a "clang" of metal, the blurry sword collapsed, but it also knocked the black iron awl off course, grazing past the side of his head.
This was the "Qi Refinement into Gang" achieved after the Black Tiger Baleful Body was perfected—blowing Qi like a blade!
It was just that when he was in the Qi Refinement Stage, his mana wasn't pure enough to mix in, and its power was too weak, so he hadn't used it in actual combat.
And this single breath of pure mana mixed with baleful Qi caused another drop of liquid mana in his dantian to vanish.
But the power of the sword formed by this breath was no less than an ordinary entry-rank magic artifact.
At the same time, his fingers holding the flying knife moved, and the black flying knife vanished from his hand.
"Puff!"
A massive blood hole suddenly appeared on the giant mouse's neck, as thick as a forearm, and the black flying knife flashed into existence a zhang behind the giant mouse's neck.
The giant mouse let out a strange cry, tossing its head in pain and spraying a thick, gray-white beam of light from its mouth.
"Boom—!"
The massive beam of light shot askew into the dense forest, carving a deep trench through the trees.
Above Wang Yu's head, the void rippled, and circles of black mist emerged from thin air, directly supporting the emerald-green silk net in the air, preventing it from falling even an inch.
Wang Yu also saw the short figure's face clearly—it was a big-headed man no taller than four feet, wearing a large green robe.
Seeing that his and the mouse's attacks were both blocked, his expression changed slightly. He recited a few incantations rapidly, and flames rolled before him, condensing into seven or eight masses of eerie green fire, which trembled and then smashed toward Wang Yu's head.
At this moment, Wang Yu felt a cold wind from behind; the black iron awl circled and stabbed toward the back of his head with lightning speed, causing the corner of his eye to twitch.
Because almost at the same time, a black flying knife opposite silently stabbed toward the back of the green-robed dwarf's head, causing the opponent's expression to freeze as well.
"Despicable!"
"Insidious!"
The green-robed dwarf and Wang Yu cursed in their hearts simultaneously!
Red light flashed.
The three floating cannon platforms circling Wang Yu each manifested a layer of red light shield, which instantly merged into a three-layered light curtain, protecting him within.
The green-robed dwarf pinched an incantation with one hand, and rolling green mist flew out from his body, transforming into a green hand that grabbed the black flying knife with lightning speed, clutching it tightly in its five fingers.
On the other side, "Boom—!"
The green fireballs smashed into the red light curtain, sticking to it like maggots on bone, burning fiercely.
Wang Yu felt the mana in his body pouring madly into the red light curtain, his expression changing drastically. He hurriedly spread his five fingers and pressed them onto the red light curtain.
Another drop of liquid mana in his body transformed into rolling spiritual power, pouring into the light curtain.
This green flame was extremely poisonous, seemingly capable of igniting mana directly.
With a "clang"—
The black awl also stabbed into the rear light curtain, and after twenty-plus blood-red inscription phantoms flashed on its surface, it suddenly spun madly like a drill.
With a few "hissing" sounds, the first layer of the light curtain shattered and collapsed instantly, and the second layer manifested dense cracks, seemingly about to shatter as well.
The green-robed dwarf let out another sharp whistle.
The light beam from the giant mouse's mouth vanished, and it tossed its head; its neck suddenly expanded a great deal as if it had no bones.
Accompanied by a thick, putrid stench, a giant mouth full of fangs transformed into a large shadow, descending above Wang Yu's head, ignoring the emerald-green silk net and the black Qi formed by the Iron Cloud Brick, and bit down.
It was as if two giant iron doors were clamping Wang Yu in the middle, about to slam shut.
A ferocious grin appeared on the green-robed dwarf's face; clearly, he believed his opponent was already a dead man.
At this critical moment, Wang Yu spat out the word "Explode!" The last layer of the red light curtain on his body instantly burst apart, and rolling flames surged in all directions.
The black iron awl, the green flames, and the giant mouth were all momentarily frozen by the surging flames.
Taking advantage of this buffer, the blue-red fire wheel phantoms under Wang Yu's feet spun, erupting with a piercing screech, and his figure vanished in a blur.
The next moment, Wang Yu's figure appeared silently behind the giant mouse, within arm's reach, amidst a swirl of blue-red light.
He exhaled lightly, his body expanding significantly, while wisps of golden mist rolled out from his body, rapidly wrapping around his arms and vaguely transforming into two exquisite arm-guard phantoms.
A palm pressed silently onto the giant mouse's back; his arm suddenly thickened, and his five fingers exerted force simultaneously.
The giant mouse seemed to sense something. With a low roar, a layer of black Qi emerged on its body, and its stiff hair stood up one by one, as if it were covered in coarse, hard needles. Its body twisted, and its two front limbs swept backward like wheels.
But it was too late.
With a loud "Boom!"
A giant golden palm phantom condensed right next to the mouse's back, and after a flash, it ignored the black Qi and the stiff hair, slamming solidly onto the mouse.
The giant mouse let out a strange cry, its massive body lifting off the ground like a ball, a giant palm print clearly visible on its back.
The blue-red light wheel phantoms under Wang Yu's feet spun again, and his figure vanished amidst another screech.
With a "puff"—
Wang Yu's figure appeared above the giant mouse amidst a swirl of blue-red light, then did a backflip, legs up, head down, moved his arm, and another giant golden palm print slammed down like lightning.
"Boom!"
The giant corpse-mouse, perhaps because it was a corpse-demon, reacted significantly slower than a normal demon beast and couldn't dodge at all, being struck on the head by the golden palm print again.
"Whoosh!"
The giant mouse's massive body plummeted downward like a "cannonball," and after a muffled thud, it smashed heavily into the dense forest below.
The mouse's body appeared in a giant crater, dust rolling nearby, trees collapsed in a large area.
The giant mouse let out a strange cry, stood up from the crater, looked up angrily at Wang Yu in the air, and opened its mouth again, white light flickering between its fangs, about to spray that terrifying gray-white light beam.
But at this moment, Wang Yu in the high sky pinched an incantation without hesitation.
With a "whoosh"—
Three light-blue banner flags appeared near the giant crater below, shaking in the wind, and rolling white mist surged out, enveloping the entire dense forest below.
From within the white mist, "rumbling" sounds and the giant mouse's "howling" roars followed.
Although it was unlikely that a mere entry-level restriction could trap a second-rank corpse-demon, this giant mouse clearly lacked intelligence, so temporarily stalling it was possible.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, within just a few breaths.
The green-robed dwarf on the other side finally reacted, shaking his large sleeves in a rage, and masses of eerie green fire condensed before him rapidly, while he pointed one hand at the black iron awl.
A sharp screech.
The black iron awl transformed into a streak of black light and shot straight toward Wang Yu. ===== CHAPTER 330 =====
