Chapter 2377: Mutual Destruction
Zu An was completely unperturbed by the taunts. He would be an idiot to not run from the attacks of two extremely powerful opponents. Still, he also knew that continuing to run like this would be too passive. Thus, he took the opportunity to bring out the Sun Slaying Bow and fire it.
A Sun Slaying Arrow flew out like a shooting star, instantly arriving in front of the bird’s head. The blinding radiance created from the air friction was reflected in the bird’s fearful eyes. It knew that one of its heads would definitely explode on the spot.
But just then, that shooting star suddenly grew dim and fell from the air.
The Monster Lord flipped the Treasure Sinking Coin in his hand and coldly remarked, “Did you forget that these kinds of treasures are useless against me?”
At the same time, he felt a bit of fear inside.
Why does this guy have so many terrifying weapons?
The power of that arrow even made his heart tremble a bit. He even had the feeling that it didn't represent the greatest power this bow could bring out. If it were fired by his own hand, even the sun in the sky could be shot down.
It seems this world isn’t as impoverished as I originally thought. I have to obtain this world’s law beacon. If I can kill this brat, I might not have to go to that unknown fragment of spacetime.
His aura locked down firmly onto Zu An.
If this brat were seriously trying to run away, it would actually be a bit hard for me to find him. The only reason he's fighting against me is because he's worried about the natives and those women. I can’t let go of such a good chance.
Meanwhile, Zu An’s expression was calm. He drew the bow again and fired another arrow.
The Monster Lord used the Treasure Sinking Coin again. He said mockingly, “I already told you that this is useless...”
But halfway through his sentence, his expression changed. He quickly urged the bird underneath him to dodge to the side. At the same time, Zu An instantly appeared where they just were. He held the Tai’e Sword and slashed viciously at one of the bird heads.
Even though Zu An was his enemy, the Monster Lord couldn't help but admire his fighting instincts. The arrow was actually just a cover; the second shot was to make him lower his guard and leave him out of options. This was actually Zu An's real objective. While the light created from the air friction disturbed their sight, he used the chance to close the distance and attack.
Unfortunately, even though he was too smart, he ended up neglecting his own life!
What kind of being was the Monster Lord? He had conquered countless worlds. How could he not see through these kinds of tricks? He had just been playing along earlier. He already had absolute confidence in winning!
He laughed sinisterly. The strange bird he was sitting on shared a tacit understanding with him. The head on the right opened its mouth and fired a blast of black energy that wrapped around Zu An, catching him right as he was falling.
But rather than black energy, it was more like a cloud of mist, emanating a foul stench that could be smelled even from far away. It was clearly poisonous as well. Previously, one of Salamay’s subordinates had turned into a clump of blood upon contact. Judging from that, it was obvious just how powerful the poison was.
Zu An had put too much strength into his slash, but then he'd suddenly lost his target. That caused his movements to expose a weakness. Now, he had the black mist in front of him, while the green mist approached from behind. He had no way of escaping at all.
The Monster Lord was still worried that Zu An wouldn't die, so he sent the Bloodmelt Demon Needles out again. He also sent out a series of space-restricting runes. In that instant, neither the instantaneous movement nor the position exchange skills could be used.
He was someone who had conquered countless worlds, so he had endless treasures and resources at his disposal. That was why he'd already thought of several ways to deal with the position exchange skill shortly after he saw Zu An use it. But he had never used these runes until now, because he wanted them to ensure a lethal blow!
Pei Mianman and Salamay’s groups arrived just in time to see this scene. All of them cried out in surprise.
Pei Mianman and the others were extremely concerned. They wanted to save him, but they were too far away. They couldn't interfere with a battle at this level at all.
Meanwhile, Salamay and the others were crying out because they didn’t want Zu An to die so easily. They couldn't see any injuries on the Monster Lord or the three-headed bird right now, so how were they supposed to take advantage of the aftermath? All the Monster Lord had to do was turn around and he could easily kill them all.
Just then, however, something unexpected happened. The black mist that had been about to swallow up Zu An suddenly flew behind him and collided with the green mist. Countless bitter, shrill cries emanated from the green mist as the two quickly mixed together.
When they saw that, the Monster Lord and the three-headed bird were both stunned. Why was there suddenly friendly fire?
The green mist was actually made up of tiny bugs, after all. Even though they were great at devouring flesh, they weren't fighting against living creatures right now. This wasn’t the area in which they excelled at all. Meanwhile, the black mist had powerful corrosive properties. The green mist quickly turned into a spray of blood and fell from the sky.
But the green mist bugs weren’t to be trifled with. Before perishing, they released a lot of poisonous mist, which made the black mist also become thinner and thinner. Eventually, both clouds disappeared.
The Monster Lord, the three-headed bird, and all of the spectating monsters were completely stunned.
Only Pei Mianman and the girls had big smiles on their faces. Jing Teng also said quietly, “As expected of the man I’ve chosen.”
Without the two poisonous mists to stop him, Zu An seized the chance to avoid the Bloodmelt Demon Needles’ attack. He also used his sword to leave a cut in the strange bird’s body.
The Monster Lord reacted quickly and swiftly attacked Zu An with several weapons. He also commanded the three-headed bird to widen the distance between them. Even though they would have a huge advantage if they fought two on one in close combat, what had just happened was too shocking. Their mental states were already disturbed. Fighting against Zu An up close in that state was too dangerous.
“Just how did you do it?” the Monster Lord exclaimed, looking at Zu An in disbelief. Zu An had actually dealt with what the Monster Lord thought would be a surefire strategy in such an easy manner!
More importantly, two of the bird's heads no longer listened to his orders... No, it was just the black mist that didn’t heed his call anymore.
Zu An sighed, thinking What a pity. He'd had a brief opportunity, but unfortunately, the Monster Lord reacted too quickly, using treasures as if they didn’t cost anything. By the time Zu An dealt with all of those weapons, the Monster Lord had already composed himself.
Still, he couldn't help but smile. “Try and guess.”
The reason was simple. He had been observing the Monster Lord for weaknesses at every opportunity. The three-headed bird that never left the Monster Lord’s sight was naturally included in his calculations.
Previously, the bird had killed Salamay’s subordinates. That event gave Zu An some information: The middle head was a physical attacker. It had extremely sharp teeth that could chew through most things. The head on the left could release a green mist that devoured flesh, one made of tiny venomous bugs. The head on the right released a black mist that was actually made of black water. It had a powerful corrosive nature that could melt away all things.
When he realized that, Zu An had already come up with a plan. No matter how powerful the black mist was, it was still water. And he had the ability to control water through the Crown of the Ocean Deity, so of course he could control that black water.
The Monster Lord had expected a surefire victory, but Zu An actually seized the chance to fight fire with fire and cripple the strange bird’s two heads.
Whether it was the green mist or the black mist, they were extraordinary weapons. There was no way the bird could release it endlessly. And sure enough, the two mists took each other out. The left and right heads drooped, as if their blood essence had been used up; the loss had clearly caused them substantial harm.
When the Monster Lord heard ‘try and guess’, his lungs almost exploded from anger.
You have successfully trolled the Monster Lord for +618 +618 +618...
But after the initial anger, he felt a deep sense of fear.
This guy is just too mysterious and unpredictable...
