383 A Tough Battle
Jiang Shu’s body was covered with black stripes with faint scale marks. It was like several black snakes wrapped around his body. His face was distorted and his eyes shone with a piercing light, possessing a demonic glint.
” You… So it was you… It was you all along.”
His voice was cracking as he looked at Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun slowly got up from the rubble as he patted his clothes. ” Hmm, You are not Jiang Shu… At least not completely.”
Jun Tianyun looked at the small crater as he tried to calm down his heart. With his Eyes of Fortune, he could see a faint figure overlapping with Jiang Shu’s body.
” Kekeke, Jun Tianyun, You can’t fathom how powerful I have become.” Jiang Shi gave a twisted smile as he looked at the sky. ” This power… This is the power of god!”
Suddenly, his body moved as the black tattoos on his arms squirmed, charging at Jun Tianyun.
” Hmph! Don’t you think you can pull the same trick twice.” Jun Tianyun snorted as his fist burst with golden flames.
” Blazing Gold Palm!”
Flames blazed at Jun Tianyun’s palm met Jiang Shu’s fist. However, the serpentine tattoos were like a gust of cold wine, dissipating most of the flames instantly.
Jun Tianyun managed to deter Jiang Shu’s attack, but he also got pushed back a few steps.
‘ Fuck, If I just rely on my physical power, I will get killed faster.’ He smiled bitterly.
After all, Who would have thought Jiang Shu would be crazy enough to sacrifice the people of Survivor’s Garden to make an outer deity descend?
But since he already harnessed his power, Jun Tianyun had no choice but to fight with his full power.
” Bastard! Die!”
Jiang Shu’s fingers turned into a sharp claw, charging at Jun Tianyun with incredible speed. Jun Tianyun’s body twisted as he used all the martial arts he learned.
” Snake King’s Fist! Thousand Horse Stampede!”
Jun Tianyun’s fists were like Gatling gun, the powerful fists rained on Jiang Shu’s body.
However, the strangest thing was that Jiang Shu didn’t bother to block the attack at all. He just kept attacking Jun Tianyun without defending at all. It was as if he didn’t care about the pain or injuries.
But what made Jun Tianyun grimace was that there were simply no injuries on Jiang Shu’s body.
” Hahaha! Can you see it? This is the power of god!” Jiang Shu laughed loudly as his body erupted with an evil aura. ” You can’t kill me, Jun Tianyun! No one can!”
Jiang Shu suddenly opened his mouth as dark violet particles started to gather. Jun Tianyun recognized it instantly as his Eyes of Fortune shone. Twisting his body, he jumped to the sideway.
*CHII CHIII CHIII*
The black beam scattered around like a net of dark violet rays, covering the entire area with a destructive aura.
Jun Tianyun’s Eyes of Fortune worked rapidly, scanning the area and planning the escape route. However, Jiang Shu’s attack was too nasty, leaving no way to dodge perfectly.
15:52
So, Jun Tianyun could only pick the route which is less damaging. He raised his fist as the Divine Art However, Jiang Shu’s attack was too nasty, leaving no way to dodge perfectly.
So, Jun Tianyun could only pick the route which is less damaging. He raised his fist as the Divine Art of Chaotic Flower filled it with power.
” Mountain Shattering Fist!”
His fist broke the dark violet beam as Jun Tianyun escaped from the large attack. However, Jiang Shu sneaked behind him as both of his palms stuck out, trying to dig his fingers into Jun Tianyun’s back.
Jun Tianyun’s body arched as he used the force of Jiang Shu to propel forward, making his attack nullify. Yet, it ripped his clothes apart.
” Bastard! You are wearing an armor!” Jiang Shu hissed in anger.
Jun Tianyun laughed. ” Why not, You bastard. I forged this. Why can’t I wear this?”
A pitch black armor covered with dragon scales with golden veins appeared before Jiang Shu. Jun Tianyun’s dragon blood coursed through his body as the armor absorbed both the power of dragon blood and mana.
” Black Dragon Imperial Armor! Battle Mode!”
This was the armor he forged using Black Scaled Floor Dragon’s scales and other metals. He even inscribed grade four runic diagrams, enhancing its power by tens of folds.
Jun Tianyun felt a surge of power in his body as he clenched his fist. Till now, he was gauging Jiang Shu’s rough power. And now, he had no reason to lay low.
Suddenly, Jun Tianyun vanished from his position as he appeared right before Jiang Shu.
His fist covered with the elemental energy of Earth as it moved like a moving mountain.
” Dragon Subduing Eight Trigrams: Thousand Arms of Stone Buddha!”
Suddenly, it was like several gigantic stone arms appeared around Jun Tianyun, short at Jiang Shu.
*BOOM BOOM BOOM*
The ground quaked as Jiang Shu felt his inner body turn into a mush. He slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater. Purple blood oozed out from his body, he felt like he couldn’t get up.
But the ring in his hand shone again as the tattoos of Jiang Shu increased. Jiang Shu got up, his skin turned pale violet with body started to turn more and more monstrous.
*ARRRGHHH*
Jiang Shu barely took any time before getting up again. The injuries and broken bones healed instantly. But now, he was looking like half a humanoid mutant monster.
” Kill… I will kill you.”
Jiang Shu roared as his surroundings erupted with a tidal wave of black liquid.
” Domain of Decay!”
Jun Tianyun’s eyes shrunk when he felt the dangerous feeling. Without any delay, the runic diagrams of his armor lit up.
” Reinforced Earth Shield!”
*CRACKLE CRACKLE!*
The space of the entire area became twisted as Jun Tianyun felt his surroundings were melting. Even his shield was starting to crumble slowly.
Jun Tianyun felt his shield was decaying rapidly, like a piece of iron staying long inside corrosive water. Without any delay, he used more mana to keep his shield going.
” No one can escape darkness… No one can stop the decay of time.”
A voice revered across, almost making Jun Tianyun cough a mouthful of blood.
It was so mysterious that even his armor couldn’t protect it. Jun Tianyun jumped as he felt the blood inside his body was boiling. However, there was no way out, as if he was trapped in prison of darkness.
” Break for me!”
For the first time, Jun Tianyun used a Dark attribute magic other than Blackout.
” Shadow Fleeting!”
Jiang Shu’s arms extended as he attacked at Jun Tianyun. But Jun Tianyun abruptly vanished in the darkness, making his arms meet nothing but air.
” Ho-How is that possible?” The voice cracked. It wasn’t Jiang Shu’s but someone’s else.
” Damned! Only if I could exert ten percent of my power.” Jiang Shu’s face twitched as countless cracks appeared on it like cracks on mirror.
” Ahh! Fuck this!”
Jun Tianyun reappeared outside as he fell on the ground. He finally realized that dark space nearly drained half of his entire mana.
” How the hell I am going to fight this monster?” Jun Tianyun cursed. He almost made Jiang Shu into a vegetable with a single punch. Yet he only became more powerful.
” You smell…So delicious.”
Jun Tianyun saw Jiang Shu reappearing as his twisted voice rang out. What’s more, there was another pair of arms with his original one. These new arms looked monstrous, slender arms covered with scales and long sharp nails.
Also, a hood like a phantom flickered behind Jiang Shu’s head, like an evil cobra spreading its hood.
The surroundings filled with an oppressive aura, like everything around Jiang Shu suddenly started to rot and decay.
” Heh, Mortal… I can sense a powerful energy from your body.” Jiang Shu hissed, his pupils already turned vertical, like a serpent.
” Such a nice body. After I descend, I will use your body as a vessel.” Jiang Shu’s tone took a shift, as if a different entity was talking using his body.
” Ahhh, The sweet taste of sacrifices. The preparations are finally done.”
The snake flared up as Jiang Shu’s body burst with an evil aura. The sky darkened, a gigantic figure dancing amidst the clouds, like a purple serpent filled with malice and decay.
The serpent descended in Jiang Shu’s body, making his body grow rapidly. Jiang Shu slowly turned into a giant monster, a height crossing tens of meters. Scales covered his body as his serpentine tongue flicked out.
” Decay…”
Only one word and Jun Tianyun’s expression changed. He felt he trapped inside a domain, his body withered rapidly, making his skin wrinkled and his hair turn white.
The chaotic flower revolved rapidly as it supplied Wood Qi to replenish the vitality of Jun Tianyun. But, the situation was even worse.
” Are you still not going to do anything?!” Jun Tianyun roared. ” Where the hell are you?!”
” It’s alright dear.”
A soothing voice appeared beside Jun Tianyun, as he suddenly saw a golden pillar of light erupting from Survivor’s Garden
Not only there, the pillar of lights erupted everywhere around Planet Gaia, making the world tremble.
” To think I would catch such a big fish. But it’s alright. Let me help you.”
