Chapter 645 - Body (2/2)

Protector Cheng Yun howled angrily, waving his stone stick with firm and forceful strength. However, this did nothing to improve his situation. It had a minimal effect on the Blood Serpent Spear, and with every ten attacks, perhaps no more than one would even land.

On the opposite side of things, his body had already suffered eight attacks from the Blood Serpent Spear. Each attack had left a gaping hole in his body, and there was even one such hole in his throat. Although Protector Cheng Yun had tried his hardest to recover, the process was extremely slow, and he had only managed to heal a very small portion of his injuries. He had no way of completely expelling the Blood Serpent Venom from his body, and each attack from Xue Ying’s part that landed on his body only served to further saturate the venom in his body.

‘This Xue Ying is all alone, and I still can’t win over him!’ Protector Cheng Yun suddenly raised his head and let out a roar. His countless strands of hair were fluttering and flickering with green light. A type of pattern began to appear on every strand of his hair, and even the air around him seemed to become sharper. He sent Xue Ying a sinister look, then waved his stone stick, causing the surrounding space to collapse in the process. This new move of his was very fierce.

Staring from a distance, Xue Ying knew that Protector Cheng Yun’s moves had just become more powerful than ever.

‘He went berserk?’ Xue Ying was secretly shocked. He had already heard from his teacher that the members of Ancestor Mother Religion had extremely strong and tyrannical bodies and that at critical moments, they could go berserk. While they remained in this state, their power would increase exponentially. However, this state only lasted for a very short time.

“Hu.” Xue Ying could not truly believe it yet, so he tried using his spear to clash directly against Protector Cheng Yun’s attack; he was trying to test just how much stronger his opponent had become.

“Hong!”

The two weapons collided in mid-air, and the resulting impact sent Xue Ying flying downwards. Upon reaching the ground, the impact left a huge crater behind him.

‘His strength is three times that from before.’ Xue Ying rushed out of the crater while looking high above, only to see that Protector Cheng Yun had started to dive in his direction at high speeds. ‘His strength was already overwhelming; how is it even possible for him to gain so much more of it?’

From the very beginning, Xue Ying had been looking down on the people from the Ancestor Mother Religion. He thought them to be brutes with low comprehension of the realm and crude techniques.

However, this time, he understood that they simply had their own cultivation methods! Although they lacked in terms of their comprehension of the realm, they made up for it with great power and speed. These two trains of thought were essentially equal, and even under normal circumstances, an ordinary Protector would have strength comparable to Monarch Hex Cricket’s. Upon entering this berserk state, they would reach three times their original strength. Such power placed them on the level of rulers!

Although their comprehension was lower, this kind of power was also frightening in its own way.

‘Thankfully, my strength is not too bad when I add up those two absolute arts. I’m somehow able to fight him off even when he is in this berserk state.’ While Protector Cheng Yun was furiously rushing over, Xue Ying simply brandished his Blood Serpent Spear. However, this time he was not attacking, but rather wholeheartedly focusing on defense.

“Peng~peng~peng~”

The stone stick was backed by fierce might.

When Xue Ying was also attacking, about 30% of his opponent’s strength could land on him. However, now that he was focused on defense, no more than one-tenth of his opponent’s power was able to reach Xue Ying. Although an innumerable amount of Protector Cheng Yun’s strands of hairs were flying about, twisting and turning, they only served to slightly bother and distract Xue Ying; they were not affecting his defense in any way.

‘I can’t hurt him.’ Protector Cheng Yun simply watched as his last attempt ended in failure, while his opponent’s Blood Serpent Venom was entrenching even further into his body. ‘The berserk state will end soon. I have to get out.’

“Hu.”

Turning his body, he immediately began to move away. Since he was still in his berserk state, his flying speed was also boosted.

“Religious Leader! Are you sure that the intelligence regarding Xue Ying being just a stage four World Deity is correct?” As he fled, Protector Cheng Yun sent a message over to the Ancestor Mother Religion Religious Leader. “His strength is much higher than what is recorded in our intelligence reports! He seems much less like a stage four World Deity, and way more like a paragon.”

“A paragon? He became a paragon after cultivating for just a million years?” The Religious Leader couldn’t believe it. The more he understood about this cosmos’ cultivation, the more he felt that one of its natives becoming a paragon within just a million years was too incredible.

“How could I be mistaken? I was fighting him up until now, and I’m currently fleeing from him,” Protector Cheng Yun urgently transmitted.

Meanwhile, Xue Ying, who was still chasing behind him, took out a flying knife.

“Hong.”

This was one of his True God Weapon, the flying knife.

Xue Ying put all of his power into this strike, which served to enhance the knife’s Dao of Massacre. It appeared right in front of Protector Cheng Yun’s forehead and, without any warning, moved out of the mirage and into the real world. Considering Protector Cheng Yun’s low comprehension of the realm, he could only react after he saw the flying knife appear in the real world.

“Peng!” His head was bombarded by more spear attacks, eventually leading to his head splitting open. However, as soon as it split open, another one started to regenerate. Unfortunately for Protector Cheng Yun, this regeneration left space for the Blood Serpent Venom to move up his throat and spread onto the newly formed chin.

“It’s a flying knife!” Protector Cheng Yun suddenly remembered that Xue Ying still had another True God Weapon.

“You won’t be able to get away from me,” Xue Ying’s voice was loud and clear. It reverberated throughout its surrounding with a tinge of passion.
