A Night of Desperation

Chapter 368: calculation Four

Yu Hong single-handedly covered his Inner Strength, walking slowly inside.

As he walked, he also positioned the recently encountered squad of Dragon-men in his mind. He did this to dispatch forces accordingly, instead of solving everything by himself.

’A squad of about fifteen Dragon-men should be able to handle the Black Giants in the Black Disaster. These guys are agile, fast, have high defenses, can switch to a physical immunity state, and can also enforce decreed slow-down and dizziness interrupts... If this kind of dizziness and slow-down works on the Black Giants, then given their large size, once targeted, they are likely to be continuously interrupted and dizzied until they slow down to a state of complete immobility....’

From this, Yu Hong could generally judge the Dragon-men squad as War Level.

Because the Black Giant, in itself, actually belongs to the pinnacle of Level Nine, just a bit short of War Level.

"Have I already encountered War Level monsters without even meeting the main character?" he sighed slightly, arriving by a small lake filled with floating objects.

The lake water bobbed with a variety of objects: some were clothes, some were pots and pans, and there were also wooden beams from houses.

From afar, it looked colorful, chaotic, and filthy.

The lake water had turned a faint brownish-red, it was unclear whether it was because too much blood had flowed into it, or....

Without thinking, he knew where the red color in the lake came from.

He looked up.

The main buildings of Zihe Palace in the distance had also collapsed significantly, with only a bull-shaped main hall remaining in the innermost area, less damaged and relatively intact.

"That should be the last stand..."

He took steps towards that direction.

However, he hadn’t walked far.

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from ahead.

Boom!!!

Silently, a footprint several meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

Immediately after, a gust of foul wind howled towards him.

It was as if an invisible giant object in the air was rapidly approaching him.

Yu Hong’s expression changed slightly, his hand forming a Seal, and the improved Catastrophe Spirit Talisman Magic was activated instantly.

Sss!

A ring of white light exploded around his eyes.

This was a refined talisman Technique capable of detecting the Spiritual Domain. Essentially, it was also a Magic that could be released through a Technique.

The next moment, he saw it.

A golden spear as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, slanting down with a crash.

The spear was engraved with white dragon patterns all over, and the tip of the spear faintly emitted a soft colorful light; this burst of speed had already exceeded Yu Hong’s limit to dodge.

The opponent was too fast, not that it was faster than his Thunderbolt Leg, but that the incident happened too suddenly, leaving him too little time to react.

There was too little space and time, it was too late!

In an instant, Yu Hong’s right hand shone brightly with white light, raised to block.

Boom!!

Successive rings of transparent airwaves exploded between him and the spear.

Yu Hong’s legs sank deep into the ground up to his waist, but his right hand firmly blocked the descending golden spear tip.

"Forty percent effort..."

He estimated the power spent, only forty percent of his Inner Strength combined with his physical strength managed to block this spear.

"Very strong!"

Yu Hong looked up at the owner of the spear.

"Is it actually someone familiar?"

When he saw the opponent, he was slightly stunned.

The opponent was also a Dragon-man, but much bigger than the previous ones, over ten meters tall, sitting on a cloud like a small mountain, looking down here.

It held the golden spear with both hands; the attack just now was a sudden sneak attack it launched.

Apart from these, there were also gold-colored mane like a lion’s, a third eye on its forehead, and three white dragon horns on its head, indicating that this guy was not in the same league as the other golden-armored Dragon-men.

"Seeing a True God, why don’t you kneel!!?"

Upon seeing the opponent, a deafening familiar roar exploded in Yu Hong’s mind.

Immense spiritual pressure surged over him, attempting to force him to kneel.

"Fifty percent."

Yu Hong’s expression remained calm, the white light in his right hand brightened further.

Boom!

The immense Inner Strength of the Tai Ling Skill fiercely surged upwards, breaking through that spiritual pressure trying to force him to kneel.

The two forces canceled each other out, the Inner Strength obviously a bit stronger, the excess energy escaped from Yu Hong’s body, turning into a gentle white light stream, flying back towards the opponent.

But the Dragon-man waved it off with a hand, dispersing it in the air into countless white light spots.

"Descendant of the Moon... I spared your life last time, and you dare to steal my Star Stone... a crime of the utmost severity!!"

"Die!! Die!! Die!!!"

This special Three-eyed Dragon Man stood up from the cloud and leaped down.

Even though its massive body over ten meters tall landed, there was not a single sound or motion; it landed silently half-kneeling and then stood up.

"Instant virtualization and then materialization?" Yu Hong saw the opponent’s tactic.

This guy virtualized into a cloud of mist as it landed to eliminate the weight impact, then turned back into solid form.

Because this sequence of changes was extremely quick, it was hard to notice without careful observation.

"Since we can communicate, may I ask a few questions?" This was the first time he had encountered a Spirit Disaster that could speak so much. Maybe before fighting, he could extract some information from it.

"Star Stone thief, you must die!!"

The Three-eyed Dragon Man didn’t heed him at all; its golden spear swung rapidly, forming a light wheel, then paused abruptly.

The spear burst forth with a blinding golden light.

Sss!

At the same time, the entire massive body of the Three-eyed Dragon Man suddenly disappeared, leaving only a virtual image of the golden spear in its place.

Yu Hong’s face tensed, he immediately turned around, raising his hand to grab.

Boom!!

The golden spear appeared behind him unknowingly, and swung down on his head again.

A terrifying force of thousands of tons smashed down like mountains.

Yu Hong’s body was also smashed into the ground like a nail, completely disappearing from sight.

The ground was also smashed, bursting open with large cracks. Rubble flew, and dust filled the sky.

The Three-eyed Dragon Man, having successfully struck, was about to jump again.

But this jump was still slow.

Boom!!

The ground under its feet burst instantly, and under the flying sand and rocks, Yu Hong’s body was covered with white light as he burst out of the ground, his hands precisely grabbing the shaft of the spear.

"Get up!!!"

Yu Hong’s muscles bulged and with the amplification of Inner Strength, he suddenly unleashed a massive force, astonishingly lifting the entire Three-eyed Dragon Man through the golden spear.

Whooshing through the air, the golden spear, along with the Three-eyed Dragon Man, traced a perfect arc in the mid-air, crashing down like a cannonball onto a pile of already-collapsed building ruins.

Boom!

The ruins were smashed into even smaller pieces.

Countless pieces of rubble flew like bullets, even splashing white waves on a nearby small lake.

"Thief!!"

Moo!!

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, the Three-eyed Dragon Man climbed up from the ruins, its body rapidly shrinking, transforming into a three-meter-tall stature similar to other Dragon-men.

Hissing, it roared upwards, its speed exploding in an instant, vanishing from its spot.

This surge in speed caught Yu Hong off guard.

The enhanced speed was too dramatic, causing a significant disparity in his focused response.

The next second.

A colossal force, at least exceeding three thousand tons, completely weighed down on Yu Hong’s arms.

More troubling, beyond the massive force, there was an irrational, unknown power that abruptly paused Yu Hong’s thoughts.

By the time he regained his senses, he had already been hit.

Inner Strength automatically protected his body, with over eighty percent of his Inner Strength instantly filling his arms, firmly blocking the incoming golden spear!

Bang!!

Yu Hong’s body flew backward, crashing into a pile of Taoist Palace ruins behind him.

Like the Three-eyed Dragon Man, he also caused a lot of rubble to explode, dust flying everywhere.

Boom!!

The next moment, the ruins burst apart.

Yu Hong walked out from it, his body glowing with a faint white Inner Strength. His hair ignited into white flames, standing on end.

His muscles had swelled significantly compared to before. His height reached 2.5 meters, only slightly shorter than the opponent.

"The moment of impact causes a pause in thought? Is this one of your rules?"

This level of Spirit Disaster was definitely not a regular character, certainly a special monster with its own Spiritual Domain.

Strong in body, strong in spiritual shock, and possessing unforeseen Spiritual Domain rules, this hexagonal warrior is incredibly powerful!

"Thief! Damn!" The Three-eyed Dragon Man seems only capable of a few simple responses.

It swung the Golden Spear, transforming it back into a golden disc.

Then it abruptly paused.

The Golden Spear stiffened, leaving behind a dazzling afterimage. It disappeared from its spot.

Appearing once again behind Yu Hong, the Golden Spear swung down.

But this time, it was preempted by Yu Hong turning and kicking.

Bang!!

In that instant, the air itself was whipped into an explosion by the kick.

Yu Hong’s leg struck the Three-eyed Dragon Man’s waist just as the Golden Spear was falling.

"Since there’s no capacity to think, no need for thought then."

A massive roar erupted between the two.

The two figures flew backward simultaneously, crashing hard into the ground behind them, slicing the earth with two long, slender black slashes like daggers.

Yu Hong quickly got up, his white light brightening, Inner Strength blazing, he charged towards his foe.

In this state, his defense, speed, and strength were all significantly enhanced.

After discovering the opponent’s two rules, he now perceived a third...

’Continuously forcing the opponent to block or getting hit multiple times will inevitably lead to some significant change!’

On Yu Hong’s right arm, golden daffodil-like patterns began to appear.

Even Inner Strength infused with Cosmic Divine Light could only slowly erode and neutralize these patterns.

Just moments ago, when he saw the golden patterns on his body, a sharp intuition surged in his heart.

Then recalling the changes from the appearance of the patterns until now,

Yu Hong guessed that this was also one of the Spiritual Domain rules mastered by the Three-eyed Dragon Man.

Thus, he made a decisive move, activating Inner Qi, covering his whole body, burning at full capacity!

"Come again!" The white flame on his body rose even higher.

With this complete unleashing of power, in the ruins of Zihe Palace, the Three-eyed Dragon Man, holding the Golden Spear, found its speed and strength completely suppressed.

For a time, it could only stand there, continuously thrusting around, but every spear completely missed.

Only streaks of white lines were seen, rapidly weaving around it, like arrows repeatedly piercing through its body.

After confirming that the Three-eyed Dragon Man had no other rules, Yu Hong never let it touch him again.

Even if the opponent turned into a grey cloud, he could use Inner Strength to forcibly disperse it even further.

After half a minute.

Following a painful dragon’s roar,

The Three-eyed Dragon Man looked up and roared, its body riddled with wounds, and exploded with a bang, turning into a vast grey mist, completely covering hundreds of meters around.

Swoosh!

Yu Hong gently landed, standing on a broken stone pillar, the golden patterns on his body also fading and disappearing with the vanishing of the Three-eyed Dragon Man.
