Chapter 628 - 260 Mid-game Meal_3
"You’re crazy." Jiuxiao Yun blocked Jing Li again, gritting his teeth, "Forget it, let me do it."
As Jiuxiao Yun spoke, he summoned a demon spirit.
The demon spirit resembled a rhinoceros, its entire body radiating jade-like luminosity, with a single crystal-like horn on its nose, exuding a terrifying light aura.
"The power of a Super Spirit can’t break this light sphere." Jing Li shook his head upon seeing it was a Super Spirit.
"This isn’t an ordinary demon spirit; it’s a Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros," Jiuxiao Yun cursed, "This thing was meant to save my life. I wouldn’t even use it for myself unless I was at death’s door, and now it’s wasted on that bastard. Damn it, it’s not worth it."
Despite his words, Jiuxiao Yun commanded the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros to prepare its skill, the light on the rhinoceros horn growing brighter, like a sliver of starlight.
"Is this a Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros?" Jing Li was somewhat taken aback.
He had heard of such demon spirits but had never actually seen one. Not to mention a Super Spirit Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros; he hadn’t even seen a regular one.
The Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros possesses a terrifying Talent Skill called "A Point of Insight." This skill focuses all of its power into a single point, using its indestructible horn to pierce through, rendering it virtually unstoppable. Even creatures a level higher than it find it difficult to withstand this insight attack.
Moreover, the insight attack generates an even more terrifying light explosion. Even Light Base Trial Takers dare not face it head-on.
However, the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros has a fatal flaw: it can only use the insight attack once in its lifetime.
Because this attack consumes its life, once completed, the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros is done for, so there’s no second attack.
The Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros exists solely for that one unstoppable strike.
As the light at the horn’s tip intensified, the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros let out a mournful roar, then charged forward, hooves thundering like a tank at full throttle, head lowered toward the light sphere.
As it charged, the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros was engulfed in milky white flames, and the light at the horn’s tip shone ever brighter, like a comet.
Boom!
The Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros collided with the light sphere, a terrifying light explosion surging with a shockwave that sent Jing Li and Jiuxiao Yun flying.
When they got up and looked toward the light sphere, they saw dust and smoke, with a huge crater blasted in the stone-jade floor.
As the smoke cleared, Jing Li and Jiuxiao Yun froze in shock at the sight before them.
Such a terrifying strike hadn’t penetrated the light sphere; it hadn’t even left a mark.
"Damn... what the hell is that...?" Jiuxiao Yun’s face turned extremely grim, having sacrificed the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros without leaving a scratch.
Jing Li’s face looked even worse. The life-consuming strike of the Mountain-Piercing Rhinoceros was stronger than any of his attacks. If even that couldn’t damage the sphere, he couldn’t hope to break it open even at the cost of his life.
As the two stood dumbfounded, a figure approached the light sphere. It was the security-uniformed Old Dao.
"Elder Dao..." Jiuxiao Yun wanted to say something, but Old Dao waved him silent.
"I’ve seen everything. Let me break it before we continue." Old Dao gestured, and a demon knife appeared in his hand.
A demon pattern formed on the blade as Old Dao’s body emitted an eerie glow, black light spreading like ink over his form.
The demon knife trembled incessantly, its edge transforming into serrations not of metal but formed from concentrated light energy.
Boom!
The light energy surged, the demon knife’s demonic glow solidifying, the entire blade transforming into a menacing black monster, like a dragon or a serpent, ghostly and fierce.
"Light Spirit!" Jing Li and Jiuxiao Yun were both astonished and delighted.
Transforming light into a spirit was a power above the level of Light Base, a mightier force.
In Everlasting Heaven, Trial Takers who could manifest a Light Spirit were nearly invincible.
Such Trial Takers in Everlasting Heaven could be counted on one hand.
Old Dao stood firm, his gaunt form exuding a demon-god-like majesty, slashing fiercely at the light sphere with the dragon-serpent-like demon knife.
The demon knife roared downward, seemingly slicing and devouring the light sphere.
Boom!
Light erupted like a volcanic explosion, the ground violently shaking, debris hurled skyward, taking the surrounding jade bricks with it.
When the light explosion dissipated and dust settled, Old Dao holding the demon knife looked at the light sphere in shock.
Jing Li and Jiuxiao Yun shared their terror, and the approaching Sha Chu halted, incredulous at the scene.
The jade-stone ground near the sphere had been shattered, leaving a massive crater.
But hovering above it was a perfectly intact light sphere, seemingly unscathed.
"What on earth is this?" Old Dao’s face was ashen, regretting sending Li Xiu to the pig farm.
He never would’ve imagined such an event, having never faced such an incident at the pig farm for years.
Inside the light sphere, Li Xiu held the Spiritual Mace, struggling against the Golden Dinner Knife, blood everywhere and continually trickling from his mouth. The Golden Dinner Knife had yet dropped, but the Spiritual Mace was cracked, unable to endure Li Xiu’s Spiritual Sense any longer.
Crack!
A large fissure appeared on the Spiritual Mace.
"Lowly carbon-based lifeform... becoming food for this king... is your supreme glory... this is the greatest moment of your life..." The man, god-like and demonic, smiled as the Golden Dinner Knife slowly fell.
Crack!
The Spiritual Mace finally shattered completely, pieces scattering, and Li Xiu sighed, "It’s over!"
Just as the Golden Dinner Knife nearly fell, leaving Li Xiu powerless to resist, it abruptly stopped.
Li Xiu’s eyes widened, seeing the broken "Spirit" character of the Spiritual Mace hadn’t shattered but rather glowed with an odd milky white light, floating before him.
The Golden Dinner Knife hovered just away, seemingly blocked by an invisible force.
The god-like man’s eyes showed confusion at the radiant "Spirit" character.
Buzz!
The "Spirit" character’s glow flourished, transforming into a beautiful girl-light form suspended before Li Xiu, glancing at him pinned by a fork, anger flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"Sis!" Li Xiu saw the girl’s light form, too stunned to believe it, and exclaimed in shock.
