Chapter 961: Chaos, Over and Above Common Sense (Part 3)

When masters fought, victory and defeat were often determined within a moment’s time.

Even if the two sides were only a jellyfish and Slime, this was an unchanging fact.

Though Sui Xiong himself did not realize it, the moment he showed signs of slacking off, Chaos could feel it right away.

Therefore, right after that split moment, all he saw was a patch of blackness before him.

“What is going on? Am I being consumed? When did this happen? Why didn’t I notice anything?”

Sui Xiong immediately reacted to the situation. He did not spare much time to deliberate over the situation. Gathering all the strength in his body, he headed toward the outside of the Abyss, far away from the direction that Chaos was in and fiercely rammed into it.

Though he did not understand how he could suddenly be surrounded and wrapped up by Chaos, at that moment, what he needed to do was not to let his thoughts run wild. He needed to break out of where he was immediately!

Before Chaos executed any follow-up moves, he needed to break out and escape this place.

With almost every ounce of strength gathered into this one hit, the black “filthy mud” before him was broken upon sudden impact. Sui Xiong successfully charged his way out.

But the very moment he broke through the siege, what Sui Xiong saw gave him such a great surprise that he was almost dulled into an unresponsive state. He could not believe what he saw with his own eyes.

He, who was supposed to be charging towards the outside of the Abyss was actually charging off in the exact opposite direction.

And not too far ahead of him, that body of Chaos which was an amorphous subject that resembled a huge pile of filthy mud, had opened its huge mouth, evidently wanting to swallow him.

“Impossible!”

Sui Xiong was secretly panic-stricken, but his movements did not slow down at all. When the critical moment arrived, he demonstrated such an amazing explosive power that even he had to admire himself for. He used merely a fraction of a second, a time so fleeting that it could only be described mathematically, to change the direction of his power from charging forward to retreating backward. His entire body changed its direction, moving far away from Chaos.

But he was still a bit slow, after all.

Dozens of arms that looked as though they were formed by condensing dark, dirty mud appeared in all directions. They were like a net that spread upon the entire earth, firmly grasping him so that there was no way he could escape.

From these arms, there was an inconceivable amount of power. This power was way stronger than anything else that was felt in all the previous battles. It was hardly even a power that could be placed on the same scale.

Sui Xiong, who had transformed into a huge beast, was naturally also a top-notch herculean warrior. Speaking of brute force, there was only one “Herculean Hagrid” from the 24 demons who even the gods feared, who was worthy enough to be his match. All this time, he had always had much confidence in his own power. This confidence level was only second to that of his artistic talent and aesthetic outlook.

But in front of these arms of Chaos, he suddenly had this notion, “Those past thoughts I had, where I used to think that I possessed great strength, were just me being delusional.”

The power of Chaos was so terribly strong. Even if it was just an arm, Sui Xiong would still need to spend a great amount of effort to break free from it. At the moment, there were at least 30 to 50 such arms swarming around him. How could he possibly break free from them all!

Being unable to break free would of course mean he had been firmly grasped. Those arms not only held Sui Xiong back, they even spread out in all directions, as though to become a prison cage and trap him in within.

Undoubtedly, if he was going to be trapped again this time, he would not be able to break through the trap as easily as he did earlier on.

Sui Xiong did not even hesitate and immediately changed the appearance of his body. In a flash, he turned his entire body into a liquid.

No matter how powerful Chaos was, there was no way it could catch hold of liquid.

However, he was quick to realize that he had made a huge mistake. After becoming liquid, though he was able to free himself of the predicament of being caught, being in a liquid form meant that a more extensive area of his body was now in contact with that “dirty mud” that Chaos was made up of.

After he had become liquid, he first flowed out of the cage made up of those arms that imprisoned him. Then he became an arrow that was released from its bow and headed straight towards the outside of the abyss. But even so, this short, fleeting contact had already caused a large amount of “dirty mud” to penetrate and mix into his liquefied body.
