Chapter 2627 - Killing a Deified Xenogeneic (1/2)
“Lone Bamboo, if you knew it was a deified xenogeneic with an eight armor talent, why do you not know anything else about it?” The creature had just managed to slash Han Sen’s back with a silver sword light. Han Sen’s spine was visible through the gaping wound, so it warranted a complaint. “Didn’t you see the eight words on the gate? That means it has an eight armor talent,” Lone Bamboo said as he kept running. “It works like that then, does it? Those words describe whatever creature emerges? But surely, someone can’t be breeding and growing the xenogeneics in here, right?” Han Sen pondered aloud as he surveyed the area. He turned his gaze toward the gate with eight words carved into it. The text was from an ancient language of the geno universe.
“I don’t know. Even the Sky elders that discovered this place never figured out the White Jade Jing’s origin. And so, no one knows where any of these xenogeneics come from,” Lone Bamboo said, as he continued to fight the fiend and fall back whenever necessary. The two of them fought well together, but the Silver Destroyer was simply too fast. Han Sen tried to predict his enemy’s movements, but the creature’s attacks were so quick that they were unavoidable, so Han Sen’s predictive abilities were of limited use.
Many silver sword lights lit up the skies of White King City like lightning. By the time Han Sen saw these sword lights and tried to dodge, it would already be too late.
Every time he committed to an attack, he would be unable to dodge. Lone Bamboo wasn’t faring much better than Han Sen. He was accumulating wounds, as well.
The most depressing thing about this entire situation was the fact that Lone Bamboo’s purple godlight, aside from the first time he used it, was unable to land a hit on the Silver Destroyer. The creature moved faster than light itself, and whenever Lone Bamboo fired out some of his killer light, the Silver Destroyer was already gone.
None of their geno arts could land a strike on the Silver Destroyer, and even the ones that came close were broken by their foe’s sword light.
Han Sen was starting to miss the presence of Little Uncle, especially when the Silver Destroyer’s sword light went through his hand. Han Sen groaned in pain and mumbled to himself, “Little Uncle is good at getting hit! I don’t know where he is now, but it would be great if he was here.”
Seeing that he was about to get hit again, he couldn’t take it anymore. He summoned his peacock king soul robe. Rainbow substance chains gathered up around to wreathe around the feather garment.
Han Sen’s Six Core Snake Bow fired an arrow bursting with rainbow light. He had aimed it at the incoming sword light.
Pang!
The arrow of rainbow light was destroyed by the silver sword light, and the impact melted half of the silver sword light. The remaining half of the attack continued on toward Han Sen, unaffected.
With the power buff of the peacock king soul robe propelling him forward, Han Sen flitted from side to side like some strange bird. With his increased speed, he was able to finally dodge the Silver Destroyer’s silver sword light. “That is some scary speed!” Now that he was using his peacock king soul robe, Han Sen was moving at deified velocities. It still wasn’t quite enough to put him on par with the Silver Destroyer’s rate of attack, though. He had to use his abilities of judgment and movement to successfully evade the sword light.
“That’s it! If you keep doing this for a while, I’ll find a chance eventually!” Lone Bamboo kept trying to shoot the Silver Destroyer with the purple-eye godlight.
“Seriously? You want to keep using me as bait for this monster? Why don’t you give it a try?” Han Sen grumbled, but he still tried his best to lead the Silver Destroyer around.
The Silver Destroyer was stronger than any xenogeneic in the core area. Han Sen used his peacock king soul robe and the Six Core Snake Bow to harass his enemy, but he did little to fight the Silver Destroyer directly. The creature was simply too fast for Han Sen to hurt it. If he fired an arrow at close range, the creature’s sword would effortlessly slash the projectile out of the air.
Even the space-traveling arrows with Drillhead were unable to hit his foe. Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were double-teaming the Silver Destroyer, yet the monster clearly still had an advantage over them both. Han Sen was doing well, though. Now that he had summoned his peacock king soul robe, he was able to block the enemy’s sword light. Lone Bamboo’s wounds, however, kept increasing.
