Chapter 122 (1/2)

The Golden Magic Peacock moved erratically. The front edge of her wings was as sharp as a blade. Her pair of hook-like enormous claws were just like a machete. With the speed of the Profound Mystery of the Water of Myriad Existences being too slow, it had no use in this battle! Thus, Xue Ying decided to just simply use the spear technique with the recently comprehended second level Profound Mystery of Fire, allowing his spear techniques to be fiercer and more aggressive.

Hong! Hong! Hong!…

At times, the spear hacked downwards. At times, it was whipped outwards. And at times, it was stabbed outwards.

Fast as lightning, as he was fought in close quarters with the Golden Magic Peacock, feathers could be seen flying around when Xue Ying stabbed at the wings of the peacock, injuring her.

But these sorts of injuries were not noteworthy to the Golden Magic Peacock. She continued with her close-distance attacks, using her wings and claws… to the extent that she was more focused on killing the human in front of her than caring about such small injuries.

‘I’ve actually used the spear technique with Profound Mystery of the Fire of Myriad Existences and released my Power Bloodline. Yet the full strength of my stab could only barely penetrate through the feathers and give her some light injuries?’ Xue Ying was dumbfounded and helpless. He finally understood the difficulty of the eighth match. No wonder, Chi Qiu Bai who had no primordial bloodline was defeated in the seventh match and could not even start the eighth match.

Hong hong hong~

The roaring sound from both sides attacking could be heard. Two lines of injuries appeared on Xue Ying’s body as he was cut by his opponent’s razor sharp wings. He had not expected that the golden light from the peacock could even leave her body! Fortunately, her attacking power was too weak. After penetrating through Xue Ying’s Transcendent Qi protective covering, the attack only left behind a shallow cut on his powerful body.

Xue Ying had two lines of injuries whereas the Golden Magic Peacock had tens of injuries. Despite this, she grew braver. Such small injuries were not worth mentioning considering how large her body was.

‘I just need to hit once! As long as he is hit by my wings or my claws, his entire body will be slashed apart.’ The Golden Magic Peacock desired victory as she wanted to regain her freedom!

…

The battle was particularly intense.

Regardless of whether they were mortals or Transcendents, all watched the battle closely. A Transcendent who could reach the eighth match was too rarely seen!

‘I cannot let this continue on any further.’ Xue Ying’s expression changed, ‘I’ve already consumed half of my stamina! And I still have to prepare for the ninth match.’

According to the rules, the ninth match would immediately follow the eighth.

Furthermore, releasing his Power Bloodline consumed an even greater amount of stamina every second. Even though his physical strength improved tremendously after transcending, he could still not use it for too long. After all, he needed to retain some strength for the next match!

Even though such a fierce battle was a great opportunity for him to refine his spear technique, the next opponent he would be facing was a rumoured Abyss Demon! Xue Ying desired to experience a battle with it.

Hua! Two enormous claws, each more than a meter long, came once again. The attack was as fast as a phantom and enchanting as a ghost.

Omm!

The spear in Xue Ying’s hands moved.

The spear rotated through a frightening arc, an arc that surpassed every single technique he displayed previously! At the same time, an intense stream of water was generated. It revolved around the body of the spear, swirling and gathering right at the center – the tip of the spearhead! The moment the spear stabbed out was just like a Flood Dragon coming out of water, with streams of water revolving around it!

At the same time, the revolving power instantly changed from extreme Yin to extreme Yang.

And the Flood Dragon coming out of water, became a Fire Dragon!

Hong!

At the juncture when a claw clashed against that spear, the peacock could feel the extreme strangeness behind the rotational force in allowing it to draw the claw away. The spear continued on its movement, bringing with it a huge power as it stabbed into the abdomen of that Golden Magic Peacock. The tough feathers on her body could not stop the spear from penetrating through, leading the spear to stab a entire meter into her body.

Xue Ying’s killing technique — Water and Fire Flood Dragon Attack!

Hong~

The Transcendent Qi contained within the spear exploded from within the Golden Magic Peacock. Following that, Xue Ying immediately pulled his spear out and retreated backwards in case the peacock suddenly counter-attacked.

Pulling out the spear and retreating.

The Golden Magic Peacock instead staggered as fresh blood poured out from her abdomen. Her blood-coloured eyes filled with a look of madness and disbelief, “You, you… how could you. Die, die for me!”

She was injured heavily. Knowing that as time passed, her injuries would worsen, she knew that she had to kill off this human immediately. This time, the injuries she incurred were too heavy! It was fortunate that as a Transcendent beast, her physical body and lifeforce were strong.
