Chapter 1406 - Dylan: I Am a Pro in Pulling Aggro (2/2)

With a flash of golden light, Hila’s heavily injured face instantly recovered. The pain did not affect her movements at all. She condensed her death energy and was about to deal damage to the Subduing Tree King.

However, the Subduing Tree King understood her intentions. He raised his leg and kicked her heavily on her abdomen, interrupting her movements. He kicked her body until it folded and flew backward. Her spine was already broken by the huge penetrative force. “Cough cough cough,” Hila spat out a mouthful of blood, controlled her muscles to adjust the position of her spine, connected the broken nerves and blood vessels, and absorbed a trace of life energy from her Soul Connection with Aurora, allowing her injuries to recover quickly.

The form of ‘Reaper Liberation’ was destroyed, and it was still on cooldown. Although Hila did not intend to admit defeat, she had no choice but to face the reality that she could not defeat the Subduing Tree King and analyzed the current situation.

“Although I can still continue fighting the Subduing Tree King, I can’t hold him back. This will allow him to escape…”

Hila’s eyes were still filled with the desire to fight, but she was afraid of ruining Han Xiao’s goal, so she could only suppress it.

“Does it hurt?”

Seeing that she did not continue to charge forward, the Subduing Tree King narrowed his eyes and did not pursue her.

Although he was left alone due to his carelessness, causing a large group of Beyond Grade As from the three Universal Civilizations to surround him, the many World Tree Supers returned in time and broke through the encirclement that had yet to take shape, dragging the situation back into a chaotic battle. Therefore, the Subduing Tree King was still in a good situation and was not surrounded.

The Subduing Tree King observed the situation and felt much more relaxed. Although Hila was not easy to deal with, she could not stop him at all. With his ability, as long as there was no Beyond Grade A like Black Star to hold him back, the chances of him escaping were still very high. The retreat was stopped because of him, but he was still safe. The negative outcome was only sacrificing more of his comrades… Although it was a bit of a loss, as long as he, the Tree King, returned, these losses could still be accepted. After all, his hibernation would be much longer than the average World Tree expert.

“I didn’t think that a simple probe would be so dangerous. I can’t act casually next time.”

The Subduing Tree King did not chase after Hila but retreated.

However, at this moment, a strong sense of danger suddenly appeared, as though a large hand had grabbed onto his heart.

The Subduing Tree King’s expression changed slightly as he looked toward the source of the sensation.

A figure appeared beside Hila out of thin air. He did not look special on the outside and looked very ordinary. His expression was calm, but he exuded an evil and crazy aura that could not be hidden.

EsGod tilted his head and looked at the World Tree Roots beside the Subduing Tree King. He smiled and sighed.

“How many years has it been? I’ve finally seen this thing with my own eyes… Heh, if I hadn’t seen it, I might not have been imprisoned for nearly a hundred years.”

The Subduing Tree King frowned. He felt a strong threat from this stranger.

He had already blocked the mental fluctuations of outsiders, so he had no idea what EsGod was talking about. He turned around and ran without hesitation.

This unfamiliar Beyond Grade A that had suddenly appeared was not a simple character, and it would be difficult to determine the victor in a short time. If he was dragged here, it would be dangerous. Thus, the Subduing Tree King did not want to continue fighting.

However, before he could fly far, the smiling EsGod had already teleported in front of him.

The Subduing Tree King’s eyes darkened, and a powerful flame condensed in his fist. He aimed at EsGod, planning to use the shockwave to force EsGod back.

A green Pugilist beam shot out with enough power to destroy an entire planet. However, EsGod only raised his hand casually and activated his Esper Ability, refracting the beam of light which then shattered a large number of starships like a laser.

“Esper?”

The Subduing Tree King’s eyes flashed, but he did not plan to stop. He quickly closed the distance between them and punched out with his fist.

Bang! The fist landed on EsGod’s chest without any resistance, but all the power disappeared without a trace.

The Subduing Tree King’s expression changed. Just as he was about to retract his fist, EsGod slapped him back. Green light gushed out and reflected the power of the Subduing Tree King’s previous attack.

Boom!

A huge shockwave exploded in an instant, and the Subduing Tree King was sent flying.

He immediately stopped moving and looked at EsGod in shock. He removed his mental shield and could not help but ask,

“What ability is this?”

“Guess.”

EsGod smiled.

Even with the support of his Esper Ability, he would still be injured if he took such a blow head-on. In the past, he would have to worry about the burden on his body, so he did not dare to do this. He rarely fought head-on. Now, his body was only temporary, and he did not have to care about any consequences at all.

EsGod had a rare feeling of having nothing to worry about. He hooked his finger at the Tree King

“Come, let me see the ability of a Tree King.”

“…Your ability is not bad. You can absorb my power and reflect it back, but you don’t have the right to show off in front of me.”

The Subduing Tree King quickly calmed down and looked at EsGod coldly.

In this short exchange, he had already realized how difficult EsGod was to deal with. He thought that EsGod’s Esper Ability was to reflect attacks and that he was good at defense. He must be stalling him, he thought.

However, EsGod smiled.

“Is that so?”

Buzz!

The next moment, sixty to seventy doppelgangers separated from EsGod’s main body. Each doppelganger had a different ability, and they all released the aura of a Beyond Grade A, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present. “This is…”

Alarm bells rang in the Subduing Tree King’s heart, and his expression changed drastically.

He had originally thought that this unknown expert would only be difficult to deal with and would only be able to stall him at most. The true danger came from the siege of the other Beyond Grade As… but at this moment, the sense of danger EsGod gave him was almost similar to Black Star’s.

“So this civilization actually has such strong experts hidden…”

The Subduing Tree King’s heart was heavy as he waited. Facing such an opponent, he did not dare to think about escaping.

The next second, EsGod and all his doppelgangers attacked at the same time. Various Esper Abilities formed a perfect combination.

In a direct confrontation, EsGod might not be the strongest among the Beyond Grade As, but due to his unparalleled abilities, he could be considered the peak among Beyond Grade As in techniques!

“Crap!”

An endless sense of oppression assaulted him, and the Subduing Tree King suddenly opened his eyes wide. He realized that he could not find any flaws, and he could not help but be shocked.

This powerful enemy in front of me has strength that exceeds my expectations. It seems like he has the strength to kill me alone
