Chapter 616 - A Tiger and Dragon’s Roar
Chapter 616: A Tiger and Dragon’s Roar
Whoosh!
The Vortex’s brutality was stirred up because of the pain. It swung its arm back, and the three claws left a bloody wound on Lu Siya’s chest. The Queen Bee was swept into a corner.
“Big Sis Ya!”
Meng Chao felt anxious. He wanted to jump over to grab Lu Siya and Bloody Soul.
But he was at a crucial stage where his whole body was changing. His limbs, brain, and even his organs did not feel like they belonged to him anymore. When he summoned force abruptly, he could not retain his balance. He staggered and fell back onto the floor.
“…”
A’Ji gritted his teeth, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes as he swept his gaze back and forth between Meng Chao and the Vortex.
Honestly, he really wanted to kill Meng Chao together with the Vortex.
After hesitating for a long time, he came to the conclusion that if he had to choose one, he could only choose the Vortex, who appeared to have a slight advantage and looked a little uglier than Meng Chao.
Whoosh!
He fired the second Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash. The burning golden flames turned into a substantial golden fang and stabbed into the Vortex’s chest.
Unfortunately, the Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash this time not only had less than one-tenth of the power, its speed and accuracy were also far lower.
The Vortex dodged, and the golden flames brushed past it. The slash only cut its left shoulder instead of the Broken Claw Dragon’s heart, much less the black adhesive liquid’s core.
Slap!
Before A’Ji could fall back, the Vortex swung its morningstar-like tail. It struck A’Ji’s chest and nearly dislocated all the bones in the emancipated boy.
A’Ji was like a kite with its strings torn. He hit the wall, and a bloody trail was left behind on it as he slid down.
His face was just as pale as Lu Siya’s, and despair was prominent in his eyes.
The Vortex cackled. It no longer cared about the two people, who had completely lost their fighting ability, and turned around to pounce on Meng Chao and Hell’s Blood.
But to its surprise, Lu Siya and A’Ji’s consecutive attacks had not just stalled it for three crucial seconds, but also allowed Meng Chao to adapt to his new body after he drank in large quantities of Hell’s Blood and became a new man.
It stimulated the strongest fighting spirit within his bones, causing all his pores to release a presence from the apocalypse.
When the Vortex swung its claws and created tornadoes when it went to attack his chest, Meng Chao did not even bother to dodge or parry.
He just brought his arms up high and used all his strength to grab the Bloody Soul in the Vortex’s shoulder.
When the Vortex’s claws left behind more than one hundred intersecting slashes on his chest, he made the muscles, bones, and spirit meridians in his arms tremble at high speed, which made the blade tremble at a rate of thousands of times per second. Then, he thrust the saber deeper into the Vortex’s body.
The Vortex let out a shrill screech.
After the barrage of attacks from the three humans, its regeneration abilities were at their lowest, and it no longer dared to risk getting injured while fighting against Meng Chao.
It shifted its target from Meng Chao’s chest to his arm, hoping to rip it off from his body.
Meng Chao could only let go of Bloody Soul.
The next moment, he rammed his fist into the Vortex’s bosom like a burning cannonball and spread his fingers to plunge his entire arm through the wound A’Ji left with Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash. Then, with all his strength, he stirred up the parts in the monster’s body.
The Vortex flailed around and started spinning like a huge top, but no matter how it tried to fling Meng Chao away, it could not get Meng Chao off itself.
The human and monster crashed on the floor and rolled around. Their fight was even uglier than a drunken brawl between hooligans ranked at the bottom of the lair.
Their limbs were entangled with each other, and they were in a stalemate. For a period of time, neither of them could do anything to the other.
Unfortunately, Meng Chao only had two arms and two legs, while the Vortex had an agile tail.
Red eyes roved about before the Vortex brought its tail up high and opened the mouth there.
But it did not bite Meng Chao. It went straight to the remaining Hell’s Blood.
Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp!
The Vortex started gulping down the medicine.
Once Hell’s Blood surged into its abdominal cavity, the terrifying wounds on its body started healing rapidly.
The black smoke around it also became thicker and more rampant.
Meng Chao also wanted to imitate the Vortex and fight against it for Hell’s Blood.
The problem was, he could not break through the limits of human physiology. His neck was too short, and his mouth was too small. Even if he did everything he could, he could not open his mouth until it was 180 degrees wide, much less match a super suction force that could rival a water pump.
Since he was locked down by the Vortex, even if he stuck his tongue out to the max, all he could do was suck in a few measly drops.
After trying a few times, Meng Chao seemingly sank into despair and stopped trying.
He shut his eyes and let the Vortex have all the remaining Hell’s Blood.
“This time, cough, we’re really… doomed!”
Meng Chao was the last hope.
When Lu Siya and A’Ji saw that he had given up fighting, their blood ran cold.
The Vortex drank all the Hell’s Blood on the floor through the python-sized tail in just half a minute.
It let out a satisfied burp, and a large amount of foul-smelling black smoke came out of its throat. The Vortex then lowered its head and flashed a savage grin at Meng Chao.
But its grin froze, just like how Lu Siya and A’Ji’s blood had frozen.
Because it saw Meng Chao open his eyes again, and his gaze was the gaze of a predator standing at the top of the food chain.
[Spent 3,214 points. Skillfulness of Divine Nine Dragon Seals increased by 7%. Congratulations, Fire Relayer. You have begun to understand the secrets of Divine Nine Dragon Seals and moved from Normal Level to Specialist Level.]
The capillaries in Meng Chao’s eyes turned into rampaging, bloody dragons.
It was as if these burning eyes alone could swallow the Vortex whole.
The dragon meridians hidden in the depths of Meng Chao’s spine let out a deafening roar that sounded like it belonged to a tiger or a dragon.
Along with the deafening sound came the bulging out of his vertebra. Spirit flames gushed out and formed a sharp blade that seemed to have substantial form. It stretched to Meng Chao’s head and looked like a mighty horn that wanted to reach the skies.
Bang!
Before the Vortex could register what it saw, Meng Chao gave it a headbutt.
The Vortex instinctively opened its mouth wide and tried to bite off Meng Chao’s head, but it felt as if it had just bit the sturdiest diamond. All of its fangs fell off cleanly. Even the tongue made of black adhesive liquid curled up because of the burn from Meng Chao’s spirit flames.
Meng Chao knocked off the Vortex and used the chance to widen the distance between them.
He spread his arms to the limit, and the power of the dragon meridians in his spine spread to his arms in a radial formation along with the roar.
In an instant, his arms were covered in profound, complicated, and dazzling spirit tattoos.
At first glance, he looked like he had grown a layer of brilliant, golden scales.
“That’s…”
Lu Siya and A’Ji looked like they had been struck by lightning and could not believe their eyes.
Both of them were knowledgeable fighters, so they naturally knew that Meng Chao was using Battle God Lei Zongchao’s famous technique.
The problem was, even if over the course of the half a century Lei Zongchao stood at the top of Dragon City, he had selflessly offered all his martial arts to the citizens for research and learning purposes, there were only a handful of people who had mastered Divine Nine Dragon Seals, and that was including Deity Realm superhumans.
Meng Chao had just entered Heaven Realm.
Lu Siya and A’Ji had never seen a second person aside from Battle God Lei Zongchao produce such pure energy when executing Divine Nine Dragon Seals!
“That’s… impossible!”
A’Ji’s jaw practically dislocated from shock.
He suddenly felt that compared to him executing Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash with his frail nine-year-old body, Meng Chao was the real monster, because he had not even graduated from university but had already reached Heaven Realm and could execute Divine Nine Dragon Seals!
Roar! ROAR!
Two thunderous, enraged roars that seemed like they came from chaos itself crushed all the disorderly thoughts in A’Ji’s head.
It was not a sound from Meng Chao.
Instead, it was the sound from his fists after they were strengthened by Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
Bang! BANG!
With just two punches, Meng Chao sent the Vortex’s brain into its abdominal cavity.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
What came next was a flurry of attacks. Each punch had the power of a railway gun, and the gap between the punches was less than 0.1 of a second. In an instant, the Vortex’s sturdy shell was reduced to a pulp.
The Vortex wanted to dodge and counterattack, but it had just drunk Hell’s Blood and had not digested it yet. So, it was currently causing trouble in its body. It flowed like lava and burned every single one of its cells.
It was only at this moment that the Vortex realized Meng Chao’s devious plan.
Compared to Meng Chao who had drank one-third of the spilled out medicine, the Vortex had drank two-thirds.
Also, before Meng Chao and Lu Siya came in, it had injected one vial of undamaged Hell’s Blood into its veins.
If they were to talk about the spirit energy they gained, the Vortex had gathered far more compared to Meng Chao.
But this meant that it had to spend far more time digesting the rampaging spirit energy, yet Meng Chao did not give it even half a second to do so.
While it had stuffed itself full of medicine, Meng Chao had also used some secret technique to completely absorb the one-third of Hell’s Blood he drank. He then turned it into terrifying fighting strength!
‘I fell into his trap!
‘But why?! How did he absorb the super gene medicine so quickly?!
‘Is it Divine Nine Dragon Seals? Is this the legendary Divine Nine Dragon Seals?!’
Even if the Vortex possessed intelligence that was on par with a human’s, at that moment, it was unable to think and could only scream.
It was full of regrets. It should not have been so greedy and drunk all the Hell’s Blood. It thought that the Hell’s Blood on the floor was about the same in terms of density as Hell’s Blood 3, and the time needed as well as difficulty in absorbing it would be about the same.
But who would have known that the density would be so high, and the effects would be so violent?
No, if it really were to regret its actions, then its greatest regret would be that it provoked Meng Chao.
If it knew this would happen, it would have never slandered the name of a monster like Meng Chao!
