Chapter 1282: The Attacker
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!”
Meng Chao was awakened by his own coughing.
He did not know how long it lasted.
It went on until the sky turned dark, until his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to spurt out from the depths of his throat. Only then did he slightly regain control of his body.
Even though his entire body was filled with incomparable pain, it told him that he was still alive.
His fragmented soul still took quite a while before it was barely pieced back together in the depths of his brain.
He took more than ten deep breaths and slightly suppressed the urge to spurt out blood. He clenched his loose teeth and struggled to get up. He knelt down on one knee and checked his own injuries.
The good news was that he was still wearing the totem armor.
The bad news was that the battle performance of the totem armor had plummeted to the bottom.
Not only did the totem on the surface of the armor become blurry, dark scars appeared on the originally shiny parts. There were also many spider web-like crisscrossing cracks that could not be repaired by liquid metal-like substances in time, through the shocking cracks, one could see the flesh-cut wounds.
The operating system of the totem armor directly entered a large amount of jumping information streams into his visual nerves. It was like a “Work of art”that was scribbled by a drunken madman, it told him that the totem armor had been ‘polluted’by the holy light. It would take a long time and an astronomical amount of resources before it could be completely repaired.
Under the totem armor, Meng Chao’s spiritual energy was slowly wandering in his limbs and bones. Soon, he confirmed that at least thirty to fifty bones in his body had been slightly cracked, there were also seven to eight organs that had internal bleeding of different degrees.
The strength Angel’s self-detonation was truly terrifying.
Meng Chao turned his head with lingering fear.
He saw a scene that looked like h.e.l.l, as if it had been ravaged by a cloud bomb.
The entire dense forest had completely disappeared.
Most of the towering trees had been blown into pieces the moment the strength Angel self-detonated.
The burning branches and pieces of wood were like a fairy scattering flowers, turning into ashes in the process of flying.
The humus that was more than three to five meters thick was also affected by the successive explosions.
The nutrients that had acc.u.mulated in the soil for many years were all turned into fuel, causing the entire fertile soil to be engulfed by the pure white flame demons’rampage.
The Flames had been reduced for an unknown period of time, and the fire had weakened slightly. However, the thick smoke was getting stronger and stronger. It was like a black cloud pressing down on the city, suppressing more than half of the Scarlet Mountain Peak.
Under the engulfing of the dark clouds, the diamond-shaped ridge of the Scarlet Mountain Peak had changed its appearance, becoming even more fragmented. Of course, it was also possible that the self-detonation of the strength Angel had triggered a chain reaction of the entire magnetic field of heaven and earth, it had caused a spatial anomaly to descend ahead of time.
Even the sky that was not covered by the dark clouds had been dyed gray by the dust that had been swept up by the explosion.
The dust that looked like gray snow scattered to the ground and landed on Meng Chao’s shoulder. Soon, it was half the thickness of a finger.
It was truly a miserable scene of ‘the end of the world. No one survived’.
No, there should still be people who survived.
Meng Chao heard dozens of shrill screams coming from the depths of the gray snow, smoke, and flames.
The heavily wounded wolves, tigers, and leopards exhausted their last bit of life force, but their screams were a hundred times more ear-piercing than the wails of ghosts and wolves.
“Fortunately…”
Such wails made Meng Chao’s heart palpitate with cold sweat.
He didn’t expect to attract a monster like the strength Angel.
Fortunately, the Lion King and the Tiger King did their best and took out more than half of the crystals stored in the strength angel before it self-detonated.
Otherwise, even if he was quite far away from the strength angel at that time, and he had the protection of the totem armor, it was very likely that he would have been taught by the ‘holy light purification’and literally ‘become a new person’.
“I wonder if Lion King and Tiger King are still alive.
“And the most troublesome Wolf King.
“The situation has completely deviated from the original plan — be it Lion King’s, Tiger King’s, Wolf King’s, or my plan.
“Everything needs to be rethought.
“The most important thing now is to figure out how many survivors there are, and among the survivors, who is the enemy, who is the friend, or rather, who treats me as the enemy, and who can I be the friend of…”
Meng Chao was lost in thought.
Suddenly, he felt a thread of silky-like killing intent wrap around his neck from behind, silently seeping into his totem armor and neck muscles, causing the bone marrow between his cervical vertebrae to.., feel a chill that was almost frozen.
Meng Chao’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He subconsciously lowered his head and curled his body, his entire body and his totem armor shrinking into a ball like an armadillo.
“Xiu!”
An incomparably sharp sound of rushing wind whistled past above him.
If he had not reacted in time, the whistling sound would have torn through his totem armor, cutting off his throat, carotid artery and cervical vertebrae.
Meng Chao did not even have the time to blink.
His body, which was curled up into an armadillo, suddenly opened up like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme. Both of his legs exerted strength at the same time, and he fiercely kicked backward.
The spiritual flames were more like the exhaust flames of a furious rocket. They surrounded his legs and spurted out, bombarding his back.
However, the pleasant feeling of impact and the explosive feeling of spiritual energy did not come.
“Eh?”Meng Chao heard a soft sound behind him, and his power fell through.
It was like he was swinging a war hammer that weighed a thousand kilograms. His face and ears were red from holding back, and the fatal blow that he threw had hit a phantom that had no physical body.
He could not release his power, and it could only backfire on himself, causing his blood vessels to burst and his spiritual energy to be in disorder. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Almost at the same time, fatal killing intent spread from his lower abdomen all the way to his chin.
At this moment, Meng Chao was still flying backward and his body was 180 degrees parallel to the ground.
The ‘ghost’that had uttered a ‘huh’behind him had somehow crawled under his body!
In fact, the ‘eh’had been intentionally uttered by the ‘ghost’to interfere with his judgment and make him mistakenly believe that the ‘ghost’was still behind him!
This move was truly out of Meng Chao’s expectations.
As he soared into the sky, he lacked the foundation to exert his strength. It was truly difficult for him to dodge and Parry.
In his desperation, he could only ignore the damage to the spiritual veins all over his body and crazily circulate the magnetic levitation force to forcibly pull his body up to the height of half an arm or so.
Even so, he still could not avoid the fatal blow from the opponent.
“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, squeak”six extremely sharp sc.r.a.ping sounds could be heard. The six claws that protruded out from the end of the opponent’s arm had cut six crisscrossing scars on Meng Chao’s breastplate.
Under the enhancement of the totem power, the fierce and unparalleled killing intent crazily surged into Meng Chao’s chest along the damaged part of the totem armor, almost cutting his breastbone into pieces.
Meng Chao felt as if his heart had been pinched by someone, so painful that he almost fainted again.
However, he was very clear that he had encountered the most terrifying enemy since he came to Tu Lan Ze.
A moment of fainting would probably mean eternal sleep.
The tip of his tongue was ground into pulp on his canine teeth.
Not only did he not continue to fly up or Dodge to the left or right, he roared and withdrew the magnetic levitation power. The spiritual flames on his back surged wildly, as if a pair of burning wings had grown out.
Borrowing the propulsion force of the surging spiritual flames, his entire body was like a ground-drilling bomb, smashing fiercely toward the enemy below.
“Bang!”
The enemy who succeeded in one strike thought that Meng Chao was already panicking and could only dodge to the left or right.
And no matter which direction Meng Chao dodged, he had a total of nine follow-up attack plans. They were interlocking and continuous attacks that could drag Meng Chao into the vortex of death and tear him into pieces.
He did not expect Meng Chao to be so fierce.
When his sternum was almost shattered and blood spurted out of his chest, he did not choose to dodge or parry. Instead, he took a desperate stance and attacked from a high vantage point.
In the end, before the attacker could launch a second wave of attacks, Meng Chao pounced into the attacker’s arms.
The attacker’s abdomen and Meng Chao’s right knee made a firm, close contact.
Meng Chao’s knee was like a war hammer burning red in a furnace, deeply embedded in the attacker’s chest and abdomen.
Even the attacker was also wearing totem armor.
But his totem armor was the same as Meng Chao’s. After the strength Angel’s self-explosion, it had been contaminated by the Holy Light, and its defensive power and self-repair ability had been greatly reduced.
Many parts of the armor had lost the function of both hardness and softness. It was as fragile as inferior ceramics.
The violent spiritual energy spurting out from Meng Chao’s knees was about to continue attacking the attacker’s spine after smashing the armor and destroying his internal organs.
The attacker grunted in both shock and pain.
However, he was the same as Meng Chao. They were both extremely bold and fierce people who would rather be heavily injured than give up the initiative.
He actually took a deep breath and swallowed the broken organs back into his stomach. At the same time, he used the contraction of the muscles in his abdomen to firmly lock Meng Chao’s right knee.
At the same time, the left and right claws stabbed at Meng Chao’s neck again!
If Meng Chao continued to bombard the attacker’s abdomen, although it was possible to blow up the attacker’s internal organs, his neck would also be pierced by the attacker’s claws, leaving six transparent holes, his carotid artery and spine would be torn into a mess.
If Meng Chao turned pale with fright and tried to pull out his right knee to dodge the claw attack, he would lose the initiative and fall into the attacker’s rhythm.
As a result, Meng Chao made a third choice.
He leaned back his neck and then smashed the attacker’s head with a headb.u.t.t.
This wasn’t an ordinary headb.u.t.t.
It was a spiritual attack that contained a ‘fear bomb’in the headb.u.t.t.
When the helmets and skulls of both sides collided with each other, a devil fire that seemed to have come from the end of the world gushed out from the depths of Meng Chao’s brain. It condensed into an indestructible battle axe and slashed toward the depths of the attacker’s brain, he hacked down ruthlessly!
