Chapter 819 - 814: Battle of the Profound Water Palace (Part 1)
Profound Water Palace.
Bai Pu and the other three approached, and the waters of the Yellow Springs receded, parting to the sides and forming walls of waves.
This scene was quite extraordinary, giving the demons present a significant mental pressure.
"Don’t panic!"
The Blood Bat said coldly, "There are only four of them... the only one who can truly fight is Gangxin! Attack them, whoever kills Gangxin will be the greatest contributor to the Shadow Island Chain and will be awarded the Black Emperor’s True Blood by His Majesty!"
Evidently, the Blood Bat had received a transmission from the Black Emperor’s avatar in the Profound Water Palace, so it promised the Black Emperor’s True Blood.
"Aooooo—"
The elite demons’ morale surged, and they launched an assault on Bai Pu’s group!
However, they overlooked one point, which was the Black Shark Queen - Mei Xi.
Since Mei Xi could control water, it was not limited to just parting the waves.
With a raise of her hand, the Black Shark King Bead emitted a sea-blue glow, and the waters of the Yellow Springs were scooped up by an invisible hand and splashed towards the sky full of demon bats.
Originally, it seemed like a child playing with water.
But in the environment of the Yellow Springs, Mei Xi’s casual splash bore the power comparable to a Forbidden Curse!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...
The water droplets whistled, causing the swarm of demon bats to scatter in panic.
Those who got hit let out long cries of agony.
The strong ones could barely protect themselves with demonic power, but the weaker ones had their flesh and skin dissolved by the Yellow Springs, ending up with deep holes in their bodies, helplessly falling to the ground.
"Eliminate that Black Shark woman first!"
The Blood Bat incarnated as a blood shadow, rushing to within ten meters of Mei Xi in the blink of an eye, with a blood-colored demonic power transformed into a ghost claw, tearing through the air to strike.
Such an attack of Demon General Level was something Mei Xi couldn’t have withstood in the past.
But at this moment, having a backing, she remained completely unflustered.
Because Bai Pu had already stepped in front of her!
Swoosh!
The vast Prismatic Domain unfolded, enveloping the battlefield within hundreds of meters.
The Blood Bat, at the forefront, suddenly slowed down, and Bai Pu easily deflected the ghost claw with his shield.
After its upgrade, the Dark Gold Tower Shield finally proved valuable in this 9.2 difficulty Advanced Spirit Realm. The shield surface only showed a few white scratches and no longer exhibited the previous fragility of rapidly declining durability upon being struck.
Bai Pu gently tossed the shield, and it transformed mid-air into a stunningly fiery figure, none other than the Demon Spider Empress! Her skin was as fair as snow, with four sharp spider legs on her back, and her chest surging mightily.
A newly added skill after the shield’s upgrade: Empress Transformation!
As soon as the Demon Spider Empress appeared, she went all out. With a slap of her fair arm on the ground, two Spider Demon Warriors, two Elite Spider Demons, and a horde of small Spider Demons appeared, flanking both sides to protect Mei Xi.
After securing defensive measures for Mei Xi, Bai Pu drew the "Savior" Hand Guarding Staff with his left hand and lifted the short spear with his right, confronting the Demon General Blood Bat.
Thrust after thrust!
Each of Bai Pu’s attacks was direct and straightforward, without any embellishment, yet it forced the Demon General Blood Bat to constantly retreat, breaking out in a cold sweat.
This was the suppression of sheer power.
At this moment, Bai Pu had activated the Active Skills of the Celestial Human Title [Celestial Descent], boosting all his agility, raising his agility attribute to a staggering 325 points, on par with the numerical monster that was the Demon General Blood Bat.
And since Blood Bat specialized in agility, speed being its proudest attribute, under the suppression of the Prismatic Domain, its speed was reduced by nearly 100 points, leaving it unmatched against Bai Pu.
After a few exchanges, two bloody holes appeared on its body, and amidst its strange cries, it retreated, using demonic power to rapidly heal its body.
Bron sensed something was amiss and hurriedly rushed forward.
However, he still held a shadowy fear of Bai Pu, choosing not to attack Bai Pu directly but instead aiming to assault Mei Xi, surrounded by a group of Spider Demons and Spider Demons.
Mei Xi was a significant threat!
She merely flicked her fingers, as if plucking an invisible Qin string, and the water droplets of the Yellow Springs suspended in mid-air shot out like individual bullets, striking terror among the Blood Bat’s tribe.
One could say Mei Xi alone was suppressing eight hundred demon bats!
Without these eight hundred demon bats, the greatest numerical disparity between both camps would be nullified.
However, in a flash of white shadow, the Demon Spider Empress crashed in, raising her fair arm, directly clashing with Bron’s Melt Core Hand attack!
Clang!
Bron felt his Melt Core Hand strike as if it hit a massive shield, the recoil forcing him back several steps, with bulging veins on his arms.
On the contrary, the Demon Spider Empress, though silent, remained steadfast in front of Mei Xi, with no intent of pursuing further.
Mei Xi glared at Bron, hatred flashing in her eyes.
The animosity of a genocidal grudge could not coexist peacefully!
However, she did not directly attack Bron but followed Bai Pu’s instructions, continuing to harass and drive away the demon bats with the Yellow Springs water droplets.
Because she believed that her master would surely fulfill his promise, making this murderer pay for his sins in blood!
The Ghost Frog Demon charged forward, also intending to attack Mei Xi.
The Demon Spider Empress, having received orders from Bai Pu, led the Spider Demons and Spider Demons to protect Mei Xi.
Bron saw a gap in the defenses to the side, immediately leaping high with molten rock lava engulfing him!
Immortal Melting Core True Intent Prototype - Hellfire Impact!
Bron, like a meteor, descended with a roar, but in mid-air, a tremendous force wrapped around him, forcibly interrupting and dragging him away!
"Haha, Bron, come, come!"
Bai Pu, with a playful gesture of [Lasso Strike], accurately predicted Bron’s landing point, pulling him before he could hit the ground and causing damage and a stunning effect.
"Last time on the Broken Island Reef, you ran. Let’s see, do you have a second Moon God’s Gate this time?"
Bron’s vision darkened, thinking his [Hellfire Impact] had an uninterruptible trait, even bolstered by the True Intent Prototype, with a priority level as high as 10 points!
But Bai Pu’s sheer force conquered all odds, using energy as pure as a King-level, releasing an ordinary Two-Star skill. Under the special effect of the Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts: Suppression, the priority reached 10 points.
With both priories reaching the world’s limit (10), it came down to energy strength!
As long as he hit accurately, Bai Pu easily interrupted Bron’s charge skill.
Now, it turned into Bai Pu soloing both Bron and the Blood Bat.
With no other option, Bron was forced to engage Bai Pu head-on, relying on the Immortal Melting Core True Intent Prototype.
He dared not bypass Bai Pu to attack Mei Xi, having witnessed Bai Pu’s incredible output power firsthand; exposing his back to Bai Pu was courting death.
With Bron enduring Bai Pu’s output, the Demon General Blood Bat could finally utilize part of its numerical monster advantage, using sharp claws to tear at Bai Pu in the air, attempting to pierce his defense.
Suddenly, a slash ignited by blazing Holy Fire roared across a distance of more than ten meters.
The one who made the move had an elegant stance and strikingly handsome features, even the transformations and adornments of a native couldn’t hide his aristocratic aura.
The newly promoted Major General "Judgement" Alvarez made his move, and Holy Flame Cross Slash was one of his big moves.
Simultaneously, from an oblique angle, a short and stocky steel can rushed in wildly!
A dark red energy band unfurled beneath the steel can’s feet. As it charged along this energy band, its speed increased evermore.
A deep, muffled voice shouted out: "Gangxin! Let me, Tito, try your strength!"
