603 Battling the Death Guard (1/2)
Over the limitless ocean, Zhao Feng was floating in the air as his hair blew in the wind. His left eye was as deep and calm as the ocean.
Far away:
Whoosh!
The aura of Death kept coming closer, and the feeling of danger kept increasing.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat was sitting on Zhao Feng’s shoulders, and its pair of eyes glinted with a mysterious light.
“Immortal body. Representative of the intent of Death. Speed and offense faster and stronger than anyone below the Void God Realm…. How can I defeat him?”
Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he started to think.
The Death Guard seemed to be unparalleled against everyone below the Void God Realm in every aspect. Putting aside Zhao Feng, even some peak Origin Core Realms wouldn’t be able to block a single blow.
“However, it’s not impossible to win.”
Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat exchanged glances.
A normal Sovereign – and even Sovereign Lords – might not have a chance against the Death Guard at all because they had no methods that could actually threaten him.
However, Zhao Feng was different.
“My strongest Void Space Eye Slash and the little thieving cat’s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger can both threaten the Death Guard.”
Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled.
Right at this moment, the figure of Death was now within a hundred miles of Zhao Feng.
“Eye of Ice Soul.”
A cold, invisible intent shot through the figure of Death’s consciousness, and his speed and agility instantly decreased.
“Hmm? The Death Guard seems to be injured after fighting with the half-step Void God Realm. His intent of Death has been greatly weakened.”
Zhao Feng’s God’s Spiritual Eye analyzed.
The weakening of the Death Guard made Zhao Feng overjoyed. The tiny chance of victory had increased.
“Hmph. Target of Death, even if I can only use 40-50% of my full strength, capturing you is as easy as flipping my hand.”
The Death Guard’s slightly ruffled figure sped toward Zhao Feng with a crushing pressure, and a playfully cold smile appeared on his face as he saw what Zhao Feng was planning to do.
Shua!
The Death Guard’s figure suddenly became blurry, and his speed increased as he charged toward Zhao Feng.
“You’re indeed worthy of being the target of a Pursuit of Death… to actually be able to lock on to me with your eye-bloodline even though you only have the cultivation of a measly half-step Origin Core Realm.”
The Death Guard remained locked on to by the Eye of Ice Soul.
Near the two-star battlefield earlier, only Zhao Feng’s God’s Spiritual Eye and the half-step Void God Ream could see how the Death Guard moved.
“Set up the array!”
The skeletal Division Leader appeared and waved the black flag, helping to set up the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.
“The Death Guard is more specialized in assassination and close combat. Restrict the range of the array to focus on him.”
Zhao Feng ordered.
Weng~~
Thick smoke came from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and it was compressed to an area of two hundred yards. In such a small range, the power of the curse was extremely dense. Even someone at the Great Origin Core Realm would be in danger if they entered it now.
Shua!
Black smoke emanated from the surface of the Death Guard’s body as he entered the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. Countless invisible and bloody white hands continuously reached into his body.
“I’ll finish off that skeleton, then capture the brat.”
The Death Guard’s eyebrows furrowed.
He could easily block the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array if he was at his peak strength, but right now, he was injured; not only did he just finish fighting a half-step Void God Realm, his heart had been slashed by the Void Space Eye Slash, and the aura of Destruction was still there. He had no time to recover.
The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was a profound array, and any damage to it would be evenly spread out across the entire array.
He specialized in close combat and single target attacks, not ranged secret techniques. However, the array would be broken if he could kill the one in control of the array.
“Good, the Death Guard is injured, so the power of the curse is twice as effective.”
Zhao Feng’s heart moved. His God’s Spiritual Eye soon saw what the Death Guard was planning to do.
“Skeletal Division Leader, watch out!”
Zhao Feng quickly warned the skeletal Division Leader.
“Don’t even think about it.”
The skeletal Division Leader’s figure rose as it merged with the power of the Nine Deadly Yin Bone and transformed into a flaming bone giant. Under the flaming bone giant state, the skeletal Division Leader was extremely strong, and its every action and movement released flames of Death and Yin.
The skeletal Division Leader was confident in its defensive capabilities. In its current state, it could even take a couple hits from a Great Origin Core Realm head-on.
“How embarrassing.”
The Death Guard turned into several cold lights, several of which swept toward the skeletal Division Leader.
Boom!
The flaming bone giant was enveloped by the lights, and sounds of bones cracking appeared.
“Arghh!”
The skeletal Division Leader screamed as its powerful bony body was cut apart. Even the array flag was turned into powder.
Hu~
The smoke of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to fade; the array had been broken.
Zhao Feng cursed in his heart. In just one move, the skeletal Division Leader was cut into pieces and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was broken. Furthermore, it wasn’t even done by the Death Guard’s true body.
At the same time:
Whoosh!
The Death Guard turned into a cold streak of light and charged toward Zhao Feng.
The Death Guard had used a doppelganger to finish off the skeletal Division Leader and get rid of the array. His true body was very likely trying to capture Zhao Feng, and the entire process would be done in just one move if he succeeded.
_Terrifying._
Zhao Feng felt as if he had entered the abyss of Death. He realized that he had underestimated the difference between them. Even though the Death Guard only had 40-50% of his battle-power left, he was still stronger than normal Great Origin Core Realms.
“You better give up.”
The Death Guard’s figure appeared in front of Zhao Feng once more and stretched out his hand, which was surrounded in black smoke.
In reality, if the Death Guard wanted to kill Zhao Feng, the latter would probably already be dead. However, his goal was to capture Zhao Feng alive, and the latter knew that.
At this moment in time, a cold intent of Death enveloped Zhao Feng’s heart, and thin wisps of black air started to wrap around Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.
Miao miao!
As Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were about to be bound by the wisps of black air:
_My body…_
