141 Its Over (1/2)
As Cao Mao had predicted, Xie Tian could recover from the cursed water at any time he wanted to. He simply baited for Cao Mao to get closer to ambush the latter. However, the Yin Flame was a threat to Xie Tian, so he had to cancel his plan.
In Xie Tian's dantian, only 2,000 drops of dragon yang essence were left.
Now, the protagonist had two choices.
One, Xie Tian could stop fighting and run away. Then, he could recuperate from the loss and come back to fight Cao Mao when he was stronger.
Or two, Xie Tian could bet everything in this fight. If he were to win, he could obtain Cao Mao's secrets and his treasures, including KQ.
The greed and anger influenced Xie Tian's decision. He chose the latter. He spent all of his remaining tank, transferring his energy to his flame saber, preparing to finish the fight once and for all.
The flame dragon avatar emerged and united with the flame saber again. Then, it merged with Xie Tian.
Xia Tian's head transformed into a dragon's head while his dragon scales hardened, expanded, and emitted red flame. He transformed into a dragonewt.
Although the transformation and the power output was alarming, Cao Mao kept his head cool. Like how he always fought with the 200% difficulty clones, he ran backward, keeping the distance and observing his opponent.
The dragonewt pursued. He roared and spat magma fireballs.
Mimicking White Album, Cao Mao created energy weaponry. But instead of creating an ice sword or a fire sword, he used a strand of wooden Qi to create a tower wooden shield.
The element Qi circulation process felt the same as circulating many thousand drops of the essence at once. It hurt his blood vessels, so Cao Mao could only use one strand of the wooden element Qi at a time.
Still, an elemental Qi was domineering. One strand of it could display the strength of several thousand drops of essence.
A green tower shield appeared and blocked the magma fireballs. The magma fireball exploded upon impact.
Yet, Cao Mao and his shield was unharmed.
Below Xie Tian's feet, ten giant roots, created by the same strand of wooden element Qi, rose from the ground. They entangled his arms and legs.
Xie Tian roared and waved his hands, which had been enveloped by dragon fire, tearing the roots to pieces.
Inside the brown roots, green juices released corrosive gas. It contained the same properties as the dryad's prison vines.
The gas melted Xie Tian's dragon scales. He could overcome the trap, but he paid the price for it.
As Xie Tian's attention was on the roots and the gas, five glowing pills were flying toward him. Each grenade pill was charged with 100 strands of yang Qi.
Xie Tian suffered from a point-blank explosion. His dragon head, chest, arms, shoulders, and face lost a layer of his skin. Yet, he still absorbed all yang Qi of Cao Mao and regenerated his lost scales.
The calculated attacks of Cao Mao had just begun. Everything so far was a setup for the series of traps.
After the detonation, five more glowing pills flew toward Xie Tian.
Learned from the previous attack, Xie Tian caught the pills, preparing to use Energy Drain on them to replenish his loss Qi and cancel the detonation.
But those pills didn't contain Cao Mao's Yang Qi. It hid a trap array.
Each pill was a proxy of Cao Mao. They automatically cast Life Drain and stole energy and blood from Xie Tian.
Suddenly losing his blood and his Qi, Xie Tian's transformation power was weakened.
Shocked and panicked, Xie Tian tossed the pills away.
Again, the pill trap was another distraction.
A wooden spike, created by another strand of wooden element Qi, emerged from the ground and pierced Xie Tian's back. The sharp tip exited through his chest!
The spike also contained a life steal array. As the spike was made from the wooden element, the compatibility with leeching-related abilities was high. The trap absorbed blood directly from the wound. Within one breath, Xie Tian lost half of his blood.
That wasn't all. Two black yin flame appeared before Xie Tian. The energy-eating Yin Flame detonated and caught him in the eternal fire.
”AHHHHH!!”
