Chapter 145 - Invincible
Chapter 145 - Invincible
Seeing that Ling Chen didn't notice him as he was focused on the Eagle Saint that was angrily rushing towards him from below like a mad ox, the Saint Beast Bai Wudi was excited.
Furthermore, he was also ecstatic to see that his attack connected along with the incoming Eagle Saint. In his mind, Ling Chen's fate was already sealed with this joint attack.
As the mouth of the giant white tiger was on the verge of biting off Ling Chen's head from behind, Ling Chen suddenly swung his left hand which was imbued with dark true Qi energy backward as if it was a hammer before coldly saying." Not this time, you little shit."
As the distance between them was so short, bundled together with Ling Chen's speed, the Saint Beast Bai Wudi had no chance to react.
Bang!
Ling Chen's left hand heavily slammed into the Saint Beast Bai Wudi's face, issuing a deafening blast, and its body was sent flying through the air. The powerful punch had caused him to spit out huge amounts of blood in the sky along with a couple of bloody teeth, and its body could barely stay in the air.
"Screech!"
Meanwhile, the blooded Eagle Saint struck back by using its sharp sword-like claws and its spear-like beak with lightning speed, carrying enough force to pierce through the hardest metal.
Now that their Spatial Domain which was their ace didn't work on Ling Chen despite the fact that he was merely a 1st Tribulation Martial Saint, both Bai Wudi and the Eagle Saint reverted back to their most primal fighting method.
Nonetheless, Ling Chen was already waiting for him. He simply raised his foot, gathering a dark true Qi energy at the bottom before stomping down.
"Crack!" Whether it was its claws attack or its beak, they all disintegrated from Ling Chen's powerful stomp.
"I've told you that I'll pluck your feathers little bird." Ling Chen smiled as he grabbed the Eagle Saint's left wing and ripped it off from his body with blood gushing out from the wounds.
" Ahhhh...."
The Eagle Saint shrill screams resounded through the air like thunder as its left wings were ripped off by Ling Chen.
The once bloodthirsty eyes were now filled with shock. It looked at Ling Chen that was still standing in front of him with extreme fear.
At the same time, he knew that there's no way he could defeat Ling Chen as well as getting the key from him.
The Eagle Saint was terrified. What kind of freaks did it meet today?
A little 1st Tribulation Martial Saint that was so powerful that it could completely overpower him, and a bunch of beastmen that was even more ferocious than an army of full-fledged demon beasts.
What should it do now? There's no point in fighting any more… Run!
This shit had nothing to do with him in the first place, he was just a helper that was promised some benefit for his service.
After some thinking, the Eagle Saint didn't dare hesitate any further. It flapped its right wing and tried getting as far away from here as possible with its seriously wounded body.
As a Demon Saint, even if he had lost both of its wings, he could still fly.
Unfortunately, its speed was far inferior compared to Ling Chen's. Even if it was in its perfect form, its speed still wouldn't be anywhere close to Ling Chen's. Not to mention the fact that it was currently heavily wounded.
As such, before he could fly away, Ling Chen had already grabbed his right wing. The frightened Eagle Saint wanted to soar upward but it was too late for the grip was impossible to escape.
"Did I give you permission to leave?" Coldly asked Ling Chen as his lips curved upwards into a demonic smile.
"Boom!" He lifted the entire giant bird with its right wing and slammed it down on the ground, destroying a mountain peak in the process.
At this moment, the Eagle Saint had lost its stalwart and awe-inspiring aura and was on the verge of death. All of this happened so quickly.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen stood in the sky while still holding its gigantic, severed wings. Though his expression remained calm, his domineering aura was anything but.
Even after seeing the fate of the Eagle Saint, the Saint Beast Bai Wudi still wouldn't give up. Though it was stunned, it still wasn't enough to stop his determination and desire to retrieve the key and killed Ling Chen, his whole life and a promising future depended on it.
People would die for money. This was a true saying indeed. Often times, greed would overwhelm one's rationality.
The wings at its back started flapping, and its huge body immediately flew up into the air towards Ling Chen. The Saint Beast Bai Wudi currently flying in the skies resembled a huge sun.
Roar!"
A savage roar was frantically let loose from his mouth as he spewed out a barrage of white beams like they were sharp swords toward Ling Chen.
These rays seemed to be condensed from countless strands of lightning and were terrifyingly powerful. It was as if even looking at it would pierce and injure one's eyes.
The sparks coming from them were proof that they had the power to melt iron
Though this attack from the Saint Beast Bai Wudi carried extreme speed and seemed very dangerous, Ling Chen didn't seem to be flustered.
"Buzz!"
Facing this dangerous attack, Ling Chen merely raised his hand and spread his palm. Under his five fingers, a world of darkness emerged and a small black hole was formed.
"Swish!"
The black hole vortex instantly started spinning frantically. As it spun, the black light gathered and seemed to transform into a huge mouth as a suction force exploded out and instantly pulled the numerous white beams in and swallowed them before it disappeared.
"It's time to join your friend below." Before the Saint Beast Bai Wudi could even react after his attack had failed, Ling Chen was already hovering above him.
Unlike them, Ling Chen didn't only use Spatial Domain or God's Domain as he called it to inhibit his opponent's movement. It had another function and that was instant teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Chen lifted his legs and then stomped heavily on the giant tiger's head.
Bang!
Under this one kick, the Saint Beast Bai Wudi couldn't help and spat out a mouthful of blood again before smashing into the ground like a meteor.
He looked like a gigantic nail being hammered into the ground.
"Again." Ling Chen pursued and used the same move again.
"Crack!" The same impact happened and the sound of bones breaking into pieces and being fragmented loudly resounded in the air.
The area below him caved in with emanating cracks as large as canyons.
The Saint Beast Bai Wudi was stained with blood from top to bottom. Half of his massive body was pushed into the soil and rocks.
Nonetheless, Ling Chen didn't stop as he continued to pummel the giant beast with all his might while smiling wickedly.
"Boom! Boom!" His massive body kept on sinking to the ground. If this went on, he would be completely buried.
He vomited blood during the process along with tiny pieces of his internal organs, bloodied from top to bottom - the pitiful result of trying to stop absolute power.
After a good five minutes of pummeling the hell out of the Saint Beast Bai Wudi, Ling Chen suddenly stopped because he realized that if he continued, he would probably die.
As such, he refrained himself. Not only he needed him alive to read his memories and find out who in the Divine Demon Beast Region that wanted him dead, but he also needed him alive in order to absorb his blood and life essence to increase his own strength.
"Let's see how the kids are doing?" He murmured while he shifted his gaze towards the battlefield in the distance with his right foot still on the bloody tiger's body.
As he was a little far away from them, he had to use his eye power to zoom in on them.
"What the heck." Ling Chen couldn't help but curse after what he saw.
On one side, freezing ice covered the area. Frozen corpses stood there like ice statues, whether on the ground, lying down, or standing up. There was no longer any hint of life in them. On the other side were countless mountain peaks that were cracked open and giant trees that were crushed to smithereens.
As he looked further, there were only dried corpses as far as the eyes could see; countless dried corpses laid on top of each other and formed a mountain.
There was a variety of dried corpses. Such as giant ape, three headed-snakes, Rhinoceroses, etc.
There were even more dried corpses that Ling Chen didn't even the names or species, scattered all over the ground, some were monstrous like a mountain, and there were even some that were several miles long… All of them suffered a violent and unnatural death while they were alive.
When a demon beast or powerful warrior died, their body would remain intact after a certain time.
However, all of the demon beasts there turned into dried corpses which could explain one thing, when they were alive, their blood and life essence were sucked dry.
"I can't believe these little bastards are done before me." Ling Chen said before he retracted his gaze and shifted it toward the bloody Eagle on the other side that was struggling to run away.
"Well, I guess it's time to stop playing around."
