Chapter 1156 - Xue Ying Fighting Black Sovereign King (2/2)
“Chi chi chi!”
The cunning dark blade light came frantically.
Xue Ying casually brandished his palms around him. Every palm generated numerous spatial layers. Even though it seemed Black Sovereign King initiated a close combat battle, yet in reality, the distance between every blade he sent was incredibly far from Xue Ying. They had to cross through countless spatial pockets before arriving where Xue Ying was. And this had greatly diminished the power of those blades.
“Ding.” Xue Ying who was originally focusing on defending suddenly jabbed out his finger at a random spot.
Unseen ripples began penetrating through the spatial obstacles and transmitted onto the body of Black Sovereign King.
Black Sovereign King’s body trembled momentarily. His expression changed slightly before roaring: “You are quite cunning!”
Xue Ying did not answer. He continued exchanged moves, though, in his heart, he thought: ‘This Black Sovereign King could easily resist against this technique that penetrates directly into his fleshy body. It seems I have to forgo the first plan!’
He only had a single opportunity to utilize his killing move!
The moment he felt the threat of death, Black Sovereign King would definitely escape. If there were more powerful experts behind him, they would definitely come to save him.
Hence, before he executed his killing strike, Xue Ying had to ascertain the exact baseline of Black Sovereign King. As for those intelligence reports which he got from the outer world? They could only be used as a reference. After all, a powerful Paragon Master might just have many survival trump cards.
‘He is truly hard to deal with! His defenses are too high! If I don’t use my absolute move, I can’t force him to reveal his identity.’ Black Sovereign King squinted.
“Chi!”
In the next instant, darkness began engulfing the place, wrecking apart the spatial pockets created by Xue Ying’s palms. It immediately swept against the abdomen of Xue Ying. “Sou”, Xue Ying was forced into a stream of light as he flew backward into the sky. An enormous wound was formed on his abdomen. This immense impact actually made Xue Ying vomit fresh blood.
“Black Sovereign King, you have hidden quite deeply.” A hoarse voice was heard from Xue Ying.
“Haha, everything is half-truths. Let me see who exactly are you!” Black Sovereign King had completely turned mad.
Xue Ying was shocked.
During the 12th stage, he had personally witnessed the strength of Black Sovereign King. But it seemed this powerful blade executed by Black Sovereign King had far surpassed his expectations.
Naturally, the enormous wound formed on his abdomen and spurting of blood were all deliberately acted out by Xue Ying! He controlled his fleshy body to tear out a wound just so as to beguile the enemy. Otherwise, given his current terrifying fleshy body, even that Chaotic Origin Lifeform imprisoned in the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron, ‘Myriad Tentacles Dragon Son’, could merely injure him. Comparing Black Sovereign King with the ‘Myriad Tentacles Dragon Son’, he was very much weaker.
If Xue Ying did not pretend to be weak, he could simply stand there and let Black Sovereign King attack him however he wanted! And Xue Ying’s skin could not break at all!
But that would simply frighten Black Sovereign King so much that Xue Ying could no longer execute his plans.
“Sou sou sou…”
One could only see as the heavily injured Xue Ying created several other avatars around him.
“Haha, all Dao of Void experts have avatars. You have finally unleashed your nine great avatars?” Black Sovereign King did not find it puzzling. He then killed his way over while forming 18 bodies at the same time.
‘Shadow Incarnations? He could actually maintain 18 of them?’ Xue Ying was once again startled.
It appeared that Black Sovereign King had become much stronger than when he was at the Realm Heart God Palace.
The number of Shadow Incarnations and the power of his attacks.
“Pu pu pu…”
The 18 Black Sovereign Kings jointly surrounded Xue Ying. But the other Shadow Incarnations of his were very ordinary in strength. Only his true body was sufficiently powerful! His true body could always switch positions with his Shadow Incarnations, allowing Black Sovereign King’s offense to be unpredictable.
Even though Xue Ying had nine great avatars, he still suffered from the incoming attacks. At the same time, he was doing his best to retaliate.
Ultimately, with nine avatars, if he was lucky enough, he could occasionally strike the true body of Black Sovereign King.
“Si.”
A wound was torn on the surface of Black Sovereign King’s body, revealing the pitch-black bones within. The bones were covered in thick dark light.
‘The Great Cleaving Technique doesn’t seem appropriate either.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘It seems I can only begin my second plan.’
After several bouts of close combat battles, and after trying out some of the weaker techniques, Xue Ying discovered that the body of Black Sovereign King was quite formidable. His external fleshy body was relatively sturdy, and his inner organs were quite powerful too. Hence, Xue Ying could only take the gamble with his second plan—the plan that seemed to be the most hopeful of them all. He was about 30% to 40% confident. This was much higher than he once expected.
No other choice. The strength and fleshy body of Black Sovereign King were both stronger than what he once knew!
“All your nine avatars wield final realm strength? What top-graded secret treasure did you acquire to augment all nine avatars simultaneously?” Black Sovereign King became more interested. Currently, he held the upper hand and was having it easy.
