Chapter 1701 Bloody Battle
Huo Qubing’s aura rose steadily, the gray sky of the Western Regions visibly darkened, roaring thunder mixed with heavy rain poured down from the clouds, and this uninhabited western city was instantly enveloped in diffuse lightning!
The giant willow tree shadow submerged in smoke seemed to sense Huo Qubing’s presence, paused for a moment, then let out a sharp cry again!
It sounded like mockery, or perhaps a challenge.
In Kusuen’s view, the man before him emanating killing intent was merely a human with some power, not even a deity, no different from the two previous presumptuous insects.
The wildly dancing willow branches surged toward Huo Qubing, but before touching his body, they all froze in mid-air. A terrifying force of domination spread from around Huo Qubing, collapsing walls, broken weapons, burning flames…
All matter within several kilometers around Huo Qubing automatically floated up, instantly converging into a giant spear one kilometer long.
Under the forging of lightning, this spear became increasingly refined and smaller, finally becoming two hundred meters long, with no visible seams on its surface, completely black and emanating a terrifying aura of destruction!
Huo Qubing gripped his spear tightly, stomped the ground, and his figure shot toward the smoke along with the hundred-meter spear above his head. A thick bolt of lightning split the sky, tearing open a straight path through the rolling, phantasmagoric smoke!
Huo Qubing’s power naturally couldn’t match Kusuen, a Clone System deity, but under the interference of his domination power, the speed of the willow branches slowed significantly. Those branches trying to entangle and block the hundred-meter spear were shattered section by section, and with one man and two spears, he forcibly carved a bloody path through the ocean of willow branches!
Boom——!!
Just as Huo Qubing reached the middle of the willow branch ocean, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered. Several massive tree roots like tentacles flew out from underground, with house-sized suction cups arranged neatly on them, bright red.
One of the tentacle-like roots suddenly wrapped around the hundred-meter spear, its grotesque suction cups twisted abruptly, shattering it into pieces. The surging lightning only left slight scorch marks on its surface, unable to cause substantial damage.
At the same time, two more tentacle-like roots swung toward Huo Qubing’s body. Before they even approached, the fierce wind they generated pressed him toward the ground!
Boom!!
The earth shattered, and the entire western city shook violently, creating spider-web cracks extending for kilometers. All remaining buildings in the city collapsed simultaneously, and dust obscured all vision.
Gongyang Wan stood on the ruins, barely maintaining her balance, her gaze toward the battlefield completely changed.
She knew the willow monster would be strong, but never imagined it would be this terrifying… just a wave of its tentacles destroyed an entire city. Even the Zhurong Supreme God she encountered in Yaopool would struggle to directly block such an attack.
And this was with Kusuen only specializing in replicating creatures… His physical combat ability was actually the lowest of all his attributes!
A willow tree least suited for direct combat could casually inflict such terrible damage—how powerful must the truly combat-oriented Clone System deities that Lin Qiye mentioned be?
“Azhu, don’t rush… if even Huo Qubing can’t handle this monster, we’d just be going to our deaths.”
“…”
“It’s alright, he’s Huo Qubing after all… he won’t die so easily.”
“…”
From the flying dust, a figure holding a spear shot out from the ground debris like lightning!
In the flickering lightning, his black and gold marquis robe was tattered, stained with crimson blood, his entire appearance disheveled… but he was still alive.
Huo Qubing’s eyes fixed on the willow tree’s main body just within reach. He took a deep breath and activated [Emperor’s Domination] again!
“[Imperial Crimson Blood]!!”
Huo Qubing roared, a crimson glow instantly enveloping his entire body. His domination power began precisely controlling all his muscles, blood vessels, nerves, hormones… his body functioned like a super machine operating at 300% capacity, his eyes brilliant as stars!
This was Huo Qubing’s second use of [Imperial Crimson Blood]. This time, his aura tripled directly. Above the hanging black thunder clouds in the sky, a second layer of crimson thunder clouds and a third layer of golden thunder clouds rapidly formed!
As Huo Qubing gently raised the tip of his spear, a hurricane materialized from nothing, instantly sweeping all the city’s dust up to the high heavens. Even the phantasmagoric smoke surrounding the willow tree’s main body was cleared away, creating a large vacuum area.
His blood-stained marquis robe fluttered violently as Huo Qubing, spear in hand, walked through the air between lightning and torrential rain, like an invincible emperor looking down upon the mortal world.
“Extraterrestrial deities aren’t so insurmountable after all,” Huo Qubing’s deep voice sounded. “This divine battle has only just begun…”
Crack——!!
Deep blue, crimson, and golden lightning struck down from the three layers of clouds, instantly engulfing Huo Qubing’s form. The next moment, that figure holding the spear still crossed the vast ocean of willow branches and numerous tentacles, arriving before the willow tree’s main body in an instant!
The thundering lightning spear shadow collided with the dense tentacles, and brilliant explosive light beams shot straight to the clouds!
Feeling the world-destroying aura of the clash, Gongyang Wan’s face showed shock!
Huo Qubing could actually fight that kind of monster on equal terms?!
“The highest pillar in the human world… he really wasn’t joking.” Gongyang Wan recalled Huo Qubing’s arrogant words in the restaurant that day, feeling somewhat foolish.
In this state, Huo Qubing was simply a killing machine. Gongyang Wan even felt that if Lin Qiye faced the current Champion Marquis, he would have almost no chance of winning.
Crack——!!
The tri-colored lightning spear penetrated a corner of the tree trunk, while a tentacle-like willow branch with a ferocious face also pierced through Huo Qubing’s chest.
Huo Qubing raised his hand and pulled in mid-air, directly tearing apart this tentacle. Crimson blood simultaneously splashed from his chest, exposing a damaged heart to the air, but under the absolute control of his domination power, the blood still maintained its original path, flowing suspended in air, automatically supplying various blood vessels from the heart chambers.
It’s no exaggeration to say that in this state, even if every bone in his body were crushed and every blood vessel torn, his domination power would still coalesce the bone powder into a skeleton and maintain the efficient circulation of blood throughout his body without blood vessels.
This nearly immortal state made Huo Qubing’s attacks increasingly frenzied. Dense spear shadows penetrated the tree trunk, and under the thousand wounds, even this extraterrestrial Clone System deity began to feel fear!
Different…
The human before him was different from all the insects He had ever seen!
He even began to doubt whether, if this human possessed the Law, he could single-handedly kill Him right here!!
