Chapter 968 Devouring
Chapter 968 Devouring
The moment Kui Niu finished speaking, Chen Cheng and the others all looked at him.
Chen Cheng was wondering why the Barbarian King was here, while Noah and the others were wondering which of the two people in front of them, who didn't look human, was the Barbarian King.
The demon god, who was actually the Barbarian King, also saw Kui Niu and his companions and spoke:
"Get out of here quickly! This is a demon. The giant elephant and the white crane are all dead."
The giant elephant the Barbarian King mentioned was the giant elephant tribe that had driven his Minotaur clan out; that guy's strength was even greater than that of the Minotaur.
Upon hearing this, Kui Niu wanted to pull Chen Cheng away to escape, but then he remembered that they were in the ancient ruins, where could they go?
"Don't just stand there, everyone. It seems this dark-skinned guy is the mastermind. We'll probably never get out of here if we don't take him down."
Chen Cheng donned the King's Sword and was the first to charge forward.
At this moment, the little black man flicked his finger, sending the demon god that the barbarian king had transformed into flying. Then, he looked at Chen Cheng and the others and laughed heartily:
"It seems that everyone who was supposed to come has arrived."
"Damn it, get the hell out of here."
For some reason, the moment Chen Cheng saw the little black man, he felt as if he had a blood feud with this guy in front of him, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't kill him.
Seeing Chen Cheng wielding the King's Sword and slashing down, the little black guy seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.
Instead of showing off by catching the attack with a single finger like he did with the Barbarian King, he first dodged and then delivered a punch with spatial compression to Chen Cheng's abdomen.
With a hum, the acupoint supernatural power was activated, and the dragon horn sword fused into his body, carrying the power of Geng metal, pierced out of his abdomen like a nail.
Then, with another clang, the Geng metal power was dispersed by the little black man's punch, and at the same time, the dragon horn sword was also shattered.
Fortunately, the Dragon Horn Sword is part of a set, and after it breaks, it can be absorbed into the body to nourish and repair itself.
However, with this punch, Chen Cheng was still sent crashing from one end of the room into the wall emitting a scarlet glow on the other side.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chen Cheng looked at the suit on his abdomen, which had been cracked by the punch. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and then activated the suit's destruction rules.
At this moment, Kui Niu and his companions also used all their strength, each unleashing their strongest techniques.
However, their attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree to the little black man, causing him no harm whatsoever.
On the contrary, the little black man's casual punches and fingers carried the surrounding laws of heaven and earth, crushing them mercilessly.
The bull, who had been lying on the ground spitting blood, stood up and cursed:
"Damn, did those ancient people not lock the door properly? They actually released a demon god."
Then, Kui Niu let out another "Ah!" and swung his enormous fist, which had transformed into his true form as a demon god, at the little black man with absolute power.
Crack! The sound of space shattering again.
Just as the little black man was about to blast the bull away again in the same way, a powerful spiritual force, like a stream of water, flowed through the broken spatial rift and instantly invaded all the space in front of the little black man.
With a ripping sound, the turtle shell in the space where the little black figure was hiding was finally shattered.
At that moment, Lyfia and her companions launched a magical attack.
"Forbidden Spell: The Blooming of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire".
Lifia used her Flame Dao Fruit to unleash a forbidden fire spell, using the little black man's own karma as fuel, determined to burn away some of his sins.
The next moment, the little black man was engulfed by the flames right before everyone's eyes, leaving not even ashes behind.
However, the next moment, Sheli, who had been observing the battlefield, noticed something was wrong. He then gripped his butcher knife and slashed at the location where Lifia was.
With a clang, it was as if Sheli's knife had struck an indestructible metal wall. The recoil from the blade almost made him lose his grip on the knife.
At the same time, it was because of his strike that the little black man interrupted Lifia's fatal attack, allowing Lifia to react and dodge.
"Damn bugs, die!"
Seeing that there was no chance, the little black figure turned its attention to the detached creature in front of it.
Sheli, of course, knew the danger and wanted to control the Shadow Demon to escape.
However, the next moment, the Shadow Demon that he had subdued and controlled suddenly lost control of him.
"How dare you show off your limited skills in front of me?"
The Shadow Demon, having abandoned all restraint, bound itself in return.
Just as the little black man was about to stab a finger into Sheli's forehead, Chen Cheng, surrounded by lightning, crossed space and slashed at his body.
The little black figure controlled the rules of space, causing spatial expansion, and tried to first entangle Chen Cheng. However, those spaces collapsed instantly after approaching the suit on his body.
With a snap, the little black figure in front of him was like a shattered mirror, cut into pieces by Chen Cheng's sword.
Just as Chen Cheng reached out to tear off the shadow demon binding Sheli, the shadow demon suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, piercing through Sheli's armor and leaving a gaping hole in him.
At this moment, Sheli did not cry out in pain, but instead a light appeared between his brows, and the small knife that was the embodiment of his sword slashed at the Shadow Demon.
Everyone could hear a scream of pain, and then the shadow demon that had pierced through the shackles quickly turned into a puddle of shadow and returned to his butcher's knife.
Chen Cheng caught Sheli and then continuously activated the healing powers within his acupoints, sending a steady stream of life force from his body to Sheli's wounds to stop the bleeding.
However, Sheli was even more ruthless at this moment. He put away his armor and used his hand as a knife to cut a palm-sized through wound in his chest and abdomen along the pierced wound.
The body tissues he cut off immediately rotted and smelled foul after leaving his body, resembling the corpse of the Black Demon that Chen Cheng had dissected before.
Although the corrupted parts have been removed, Sheli is now only on his last breath. Chen Cheng's current methods are not enough to heal such a large wound; he can only keep supplying him with power to keep him afloat.
Sheli breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he no longer showed any signs of turning into a zombie.
Then, enduring the pain in his body, he said to Chen Cheng:
"Your Majesty, be careful of him. He is the true god. Do not let anyone be killed by him, or he will plunder the Dao power of the dead."
Even if we're going to die, we should do it like this: first, remove the parts that have become zombies to prevent his power from corrupting us, otherwise he'll only get stronger.
These were all insights gained in that instant of letting go of himself, because at the very moment he was injured and turned into a zombie, his Dao was also being devoured.
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng stared at him with bloodshot eyes and said:
"Don't get distracted by these things, I will definitely save you."
Chen Cheng flipped his hand, and a handful of lotus seeds appeared in his hand.
He had obtained the healing elixir of lotus petals, but he used them all up due to several crises. The lotus seeds that remained, though highly poisonous, also possessed the regenerative power of the lotus petals.
Perhaps after letting Sheli take the lotus seeds and repair his body, I can suppress the poison for him and then find a way to detoxify him.
This is just like when he first came into contact with the pollution of faith. In order to survive, he could only take poison to prolong his life, and then use the sequence to ascend to godhood to solve the problem.
