Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 173
A gray glow descended from the sky, falling upon the head of the Undying Soul. The life it had lost under Ye Tian Xie’s relentless strikes was almost instantly restored to full. Meanwhile, the Soul of Holy Words, which had been hovering and swaying nearby, performed another teleportation, moving close to a nearby corpse. A 《Necromantic Revival》 was cast onto the lifeless 《Summoning Soul》 on the ground.
Within the flickering gray-white light, the dormant body slowly rose, its soulless gray-white eyes locking onto Ye Tian Xie’s figure. Its hand lifted gradually… Suddenly, a mass of black light illuminated the sky, accompanied by a deep, resonant screech.
The Summoning Soul’s most powerful summoning technique—Demonic Hawk Summon—was unleashed, bringing forth a level 20 two-star elite Demon Hawk.
Under Ye Tian Xie’s continuous Dragon Fissure Strikes, the life of the Undying Soul slowly dwindled. Although the damage Ye Tian Xie suffered was several times less than that of the Undying Soul, his health bar depleted at a much faster rate. Furthermore, by the side of the Undying Soul was the Soul of Holy Words, boasting powerful healing abilities.
Each strike from the Undying Soul took nearly one-tenth of Ye Tian Xie’s health. His health steadily dropped to 60%… 50%… 40%… Yet, he seemed completely unaware that he was edging closer to death, continuing his berserk assault on the Undying Soul with unrelenting fury.
“Oh-la-la… It’s nighttime, so why can’t I fall asleep?”
In a world filled only with the sounds of combat, a lazy and sweet voice suddenly echoed—it was Guo Guo. A small white glow illuminated the dark world as Guo Guo appeared on Ye Tian Xie’s shoulder. Stretching her tiny body, she let out a big yawn but quickly jolted as if struck by lightning.
“Aaahh!! Master, what are you doing…”
There was no response. Ye Tian Xie lifted Destiny’s Hour, delivering another heavy blow to the Undying Soul. Simultaneously, he was pierced by another sword strike from the Undying Soul, dropping his health to 20%.
“Aahh!! Master, master, you’re going to die! You’re going to die, master!”
Flustered and frantic, Guo Guo cried out. Then, noticing something odd, she suddenly turned around, grabbed Ye Tian Xie’s neck, lifted her tiny head, and fiercely bit his ear.
While the pain from combat was dulled to just 5%, Guo Guo’s bite inflicted an unfiltered 100% pain.
The sharp pain caused Ye Tian Xie’s actions to falter. A brief clarity flashed through his rage-filled eyes as he instantly grasped the situation. Before him, the silver dagger of the Undying Soul closed in once more, and above… his extraordinary perception told him that a highly dangerous entity was plummeting toward him.
No time was left for hesitation. With his current health, even a moment’s delay would lead to death. Without moving his feet, he leaned back swiftly, collapsing to the ground like a toppled puppet.
The silver longsword of the Undying Soul missed its mark. Simultaneously, a black shadow descended from the sky, narrowly passing through the space his body had occupied. Almost touching the ground, the shadow arched upward in an inverted parabola and shot back into the air.
As Ye Tian Xie fell, he kicked the ground, propelling his body two meters backward. Using the recoil, he quickly rose to his feet. At this moment, the tip of Destiny’s Hour in his hand shone with a crimson glow, like the eye of a demon, radiating a terrifying hunger.
Ye Tian Xie’s current health: 31.
When health falls to 1%-2%, it triggers the Destiny’s Blood Sacrifice, adding 300% attack power to his strikes!
Ye Tian Xie’s expression remained calm, but inwardly he was shaken. Just moments ago, he had been on the brink of disaster. If not for Guo Guo biting him awake, he would have perished at the hands of the Undying Soul.
At the moment of clarity, he realized that he had fallen victim to the Undying Soul’s sinister provocation skill—Mental Taunt. The terrifying effects of this skill left him alarmed. In the beginner’s village, the level 20 boss, Amethyst Battle Tiger, could not affect him with its Battle Tiger’s Roar. Neither could the level 25 boss, Golden Sword Lion King’s Lion King Roar. Yet, this Mental Taunt bypassed all his resistances and struck him directly.
“Ahhh! Master, above you!”
Without bothering to heal, Ye Tian Xie felt the cold wind of the Demon Hawk overhead even as Guo Guo screamed. At the same time, the Undying Soul advanced steadily. Ye Tian Xie’s expression darkened as he stepped left to adjust his position and activated 《Dragon Shadow Slash》 instantly.
Ye Tian Xie’s attack power now exceeded 2800.
This Dragon Shadow Slash targeted the Soul of Holy Words.
Covering a five-meter sprint, he dodged the strikes of the Demon Hawk and the Undying Soul. His charge ended directly before the Soul of Holy Words. The terrifying speed of the sprint left the Soul of Holy Words unable to react or teleport away.
-3020.
The crimson numbers unleashed by the Dragon Shadow Slash stripped away more than one-fifth of the Soul of Holy Words’ health. Ye Tian Xie turned sharply, his gaze fixed as a scarlet hurricane, infused with the aura of darkness, erupted in the air.
《Tornado Gale Sevenfold Rupture!!》
-2790, -2750, -2781, -2760, -2810, -2713, -2762!
The raging whirlwind descended, completely draining the Soul of Holy Words’ health bar. Without any change in its expression, the Soul of Holy Words fell rigidly to the ground.
The auxiliary abilities of the Soul of Holy Words were so overwhelming that Ye Tian Xie had no choice but to eliminate it with a decisive Tornado Gale Sevenfold Rupture. While it lacked offensive capabilities, among the Undying Soul and the Soul of Holy Words, the latter had to be prioritized for elimination. If left unchecked, its astonishing support skills would resurrect all the undead mercenaries Ye Tian Xie had painstakingly defeated.
With the Soul of Holy Words dead, Ye Tian Xie dashed toward the Summoning Soul. A single Dragon Fissure Strike instantly depleted its remaining 30% health.
Upon its death, the Demon Hawk it summoned let out a brief mournful cry before dissolving into the darkness.
Turning to face the Undying Soul—the very enemy who had nearly forced him into a corner—Ye Tian Xie still refrained from healing himself.
Standing with only 31 health points, surrounded by the crimson glow emanating from the Blood Sacrifice of Destiny, Ye Tian Xie coldly watched as the Undying Soul approached. The sluggish movement speed of a shieldbearer, burdened by heavy armor, made it the slowest of all professions in terms of mobility. This lack of agility made it the class Ye Tian Xie cared the least about.
Yet now, he had almost been killed by such a shieldbearer. For him, this was an unforgivable humiliation.
Thus, he resolved to kill the enemy swiftly and without sustaining any additional injuries.
With his near-empty health bar, Ye Tian Xie walked directly toward the Undying Soul. In his current state, even the weakest level 10 creature could kill him with a mere touch. This reckless move would undoubtedly make him seem like a heartless madman. But had he not committed countless insane acts like this before?
-5200, -5198, -5173…
This 【do-or-die】 stance, teetering on the edge of death, granted him terrifying offensive power. Each strike of Destiny’s Hour carved away a massive portion of the Undying Soul’s life. During moments like these, Ye Tian Xie would suppress all distractions, focusing his full mental strength. His hyper-awareness enabled him to observe every subtle movement of his enemy and predict their attack trajectory instantly. He remained alert to his surroundings, even the airflow, ready to counter any surprises.
When all his focus and willpower were concentrated, his extraordinary reflexes were enough to leave any ordinary person utterly stunned.
The Undying Soul’s sword slashes and shield bashes were effortlessly dodged by Ye Tian Xie’s precise movements.
One Dragon Fissure Strike, two, three… until the fifth strike…
-5215!
Even with its high defense and substantial health, the Undying Soul couldn’t withstand multiple attacks from Ye Tian Xie’s current state. After enduring five Dragon Fissure Strikes and the damage sustained earlier, the powerful Undying Soul fell before it could unleash its fearsome Sacred Flame. Its silver sword and shield clattered heavily to the ground as its body slumped lifelessly, devoid of sound.
Casting a cold glance at the Undying Soul’s corpse, Ye Tian Xie exhaled softly and touched his right ear, which Guo Guo had bitten earlier. The lingering pain was still there, and he could faintly feel small bite marks.
“Guo Guo, you bit too hard” Ye Tian Xie muttered quietly.
“Hmph! Who told you, you bad master, to deceive the cutest, most obedient, and smartest loli, Guo Guo? This place is pitch dark; it’s clearly not nighttime yet” Guo Guo pouted as she sat on his shoulder, her small legs swinging back and forth. However, after stealing a quick glance at Ye Tian Xie, she shyly asked, “Master… does it really hurt that much?”
“…A lot.”
“Humph! I was trying to save you! You almost died back there…” Guo Guo blinked her big eyes and suddenly sat upright on Ye Tian Xie’s shoulder. Leaning onto his neck, she giggled, “Let me lick it for you, Master. Painful places stop hurting when you lick them.”
As soon as Guo Guo finished speaking, a soft, moist sensation brushed against Ye Tian Xie’s left ear, sending shivers down his entire body. Guo Guo had actually stuck out her little pink tongue and was gently licking the spot she had bitten. Her expression was serious, her movements delicate, and soon, her tiny tongue had thoroughly dampened the area with her saliva…
