Chapter 416 – Crow Like a Rooster and Snatch Like a Dog (1/2)

In terms of strength, the Lord of Abyss was quite a long way from the death swordsman. However, it was amazingly ironic how he relied solely on a codex and its hymn of life to grind it out with Windless.

A hurtling spear from the Lord of Abyss finally brought anger to Windless's face. His sword swung out a dazzling gleam to parry the spear, and at the same time, he kicked the mount under the Lord of Abyss, sending it flying.

The Lord of Abyss laughed aloud and spurred his mount back into the fight. Although covered in blood, he fought harder as the battle progressed, driving Windless to retreat.

“The Mystery Codex of Life! Damn thing!” Everyone below could see why the Lord of Abyss had the upper hand. With the Mystery Codex of Life, he was practically immortal. As long as his body wasn’t destroyed altogether, it would recover quickly.

“Is there any way to suppress him?” Marshal Ferotiger muttered to himself.

Fatty had an idea. He said, “I have a way.”

“You?” Marshal Ferotiger was startled but he immediately understood. “The Great Curse of Ice?”

Fatty nodded slightly. He had just quickly calculated that the energy in the Elemental Mystery Realm was enough for one cast of Great Curse of Ice. Only that it was still a question whether the Great Curse of Ice could freeze a powerful expert like the Lord of Abyss.

“Alright, I'll inform Master Windless so that he’ll create the conditions for you.” Marshal Ferotiger decided.

Upon receiving the words from Marshal Ferotiger, Windless glanced and responded with an almost imperceptible nod. Marshal Ferotiger and others were reassured to see this. Prior to this, they had been afraid that Windless would refuse for the sake of face.

A thunderous rumble resounded as a sword light suddenly rose from the ground and lit up the whole Abyss Space. Just as expected, after the Lord of Abyss was cut in half, the two body parts twisted eerily.

“Kakaka.” Bizarre laughter emanated from the Lord of Abyss’ two halves and a green glow shone around them. Countless tiny spirits surrounded the Lord of Abyss in a prostrating posture, their faces devout and their hands forming a strange gesture. With feverish smiles on their faces, the spirits once again sang their paean.

“Great Curse of Ice!” Fatty growled, and over the green spirits, countless ice spirits appeared, each corresponding to a green one. The green spirits began to show fear as they were frozen by the ice spirits in less than ten minutes.

Worse was the Lord of Abyss who was covered in ice spirits of all sizes. Expressionless and frosty, they flocked onto the Lord of Abyss as if he was a delicious cake and firmly pinned the two body halves in two places.

“Ahhh!” The Lord of Abyss cried out in fear and struggled desperately with a ball of black light drifting over his body.

All of a sudden, the entire Abyss Space quaked. Countless whiffs of black miasma emerged from all directions and rushed into the Lord of Abyss’ body. With their help, the Lord of Abyss recovered some of his energy. He managed to knock away the ice spirits and the two body halves started reaching for each other.

“Humph!” Snorting, Windless slashed out. In the dazzling sword light, the Lord of Abyss screamed as the horizontal slash turned his two halves into four.

Fatty quickly shook out the Elemental Sword Diagram. The Lord of Abyss was swept into it in a flash. The sword formation slowly rotated, cutting off the Lord of Abyss from the outside world, which immediately interrupted the streams of black miasma. The ice spirits again rushed to his body.

“Bas..tard…” The Lord of Abyss trembled nonstop as the four pieces cut by Windless were parted, never once close to being united.

Looking at the little energy left in the Elemental Mystery Realm, Fatty’s heart burned with anger. A wave of his hand sent countless light swords raining down and blood from the Lord of Abyss’ body splashed in all directions.

As one sword fell after another, the resistance of the Lord of Abyss gradually weakened, until there was eventually no sound and instead, four ice sculptures in the air.

Smiling coldly, Fatty didn’t retract the Elemental Sword Diagram right away but pounced at one of the ice blocks with Steal.
