Chapter 1320: Striking at the Heart
The **Death God's Law Aspect** inherently possesses the ability to temporarily seal a target's movements. When this move was unleashed by the **Black-Robed Person**, who was at the late **Earth Soul** stage, its effect was naturally even more pronounced, which was why he was able to freeze the mud-rock python in mid-air.
However, the mud-rock python was only sealed for a single instant. In the very next moment, the mud-rock python's enormous body began to tremble violently. Then, a resounding boom echoed from around the mud-rock python, as the invisible sealing force was forcibly shattered, and the bound mud-rock python regained its freedom.
Unfortunately, that brief moment was enough for the **Black-Robed Person** to find time to dodge. As the mud-rock python bit down, the **Black-Robed Person** immediately evaded, causing the mud-rock python's attack to miss. The **Black-Robed Person** successfully escaped from the mud-rock python's gaping maw.
Having missed its strike, the mud-rock python didn't hesitate. It let out a ferocious roar filled with violent intent and attacked the **Black-Robed Person** once more.
The **Black-Robed Person**, now emboldened by successfully summoning the **Death God's Law Aspect**, changed his combat approach when facing the mud-rock python's fierce assault. He no longer merely focused on defense or evasion, but instead launched a counterattack against the incoming mud-rock python.
Under his control, a massive hand from the **Death God's Law Aspect** descended from the sky, slamming it down upon the mud-rock python below. With his late **Earth Soul** realm, his control over the **Death God's Law Aspect** was such that its attack speed was naturally incomparable to that of an **Underworld Official** who had only opened their **Heaven Soul**. It was incredibly fast. Just as the mud-rock python approached the **Black-Robed Person**, before it could deliver a killing blow, the **Death God's Law Aspect's** giant palm ruthlessly slapped the mud-rock python's body.
Bang! ! !
The mud-rock python's body plummeted like a cannonball towards the ground below, carving a large crater while simultaneously stirring up a sky-full of dust and smoke. The **Black-Robed Person** didn't stop there, for he knew this was the best moment to eliminate the mud-rock python. He certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he seized it, controlling the **Death God's Law Aspect** in relentless pursuit.
Just as the mud-rock python struggled to rise from the crater, before it could launch another attack on the **Black-Robed Person**, it was caught squarely by the giant hand that had suddenly descended from the sky. This massive hand hoisted it up and then violently slammed it back down to the ground.
Boom! ! !
The ground trembled violently, as if a great earthquake had struck. A raging force quickly spread outwards, once again tearing up a thick layer of the earth's surface!
The **Black-Robed Person**, who had originally been at a disadvantage, had successfully summoned the **Death God's Law Aspect**. Relying on its formidable power, he had managed to turn the tide and reverse his unfavorable position in a short span of time.
**Bai Xue** observed this scene. Though a charming smile still graced her face, a dismissive cold snort escaped her lips. Then, she changed her hand seal. The mud-rock python, which had just been hoisted from the dust and smoke by the **Death God's Law Aspect** once more, suddenly erupted with brilliant green light. The power fluctuations it released consequently increased dramatically. Before the **Death God's Law Aspect** could slam the mud-rock python it held back down, a roar that pierced the eardrums suddenly erupted from the mud-rock python's mouth.
The mud-rock python's body was seen struggling violently in the **Death God's Law Aspect's** hand. Although it had struggled when caught before, it had been ineffective. The **Death God's Law Aspect's** colossal hand had held it like an iron clamp, rendering all its struggles useless; it simply could not break free from the **Death God's Law Aspect's** grasp.
However, the current situation was the exact opposite. With the mud-rock python's fierce struggles, the **Death God's Law Aspect's** large hand, gripping the mud-rock python, began to show cracks, appearing as if it could shatter at any moment.
Upon seeing this, the **Black-Robed Person** intended to channel more **Spirit Power** into the **Death God's Law Aspect** to enhance its power while also reinforcing it, preventing the **Death God's Law Aspect's** large hand from being shattered by the python.
Yet, he was half a beat too slow. Before he could inject a large amount of **Spirit Power** into the **Death God's Law Aspect**, the hand that was gripping the mud-rock python exploded with a resounding boom.
With its palm shattered, the mud-rock python successfully broke free from its restraints. Its already considerable body swelled further under the shroud of dense green light, then, like a dragon-like creature emerging from the sea, it soared towards the **Death God's Law Aspect** that sat cross-legged above.
The **Black-Robed Person** knew that **Bai Xue** intended to destroy the **Death God's Law Aspect** he had summoned. Once the **Death God's Law Aspect** was destroyed, he wouldn't be able to successfully summon it again in a short period, and **Bai Xue** wouldn't give him such an opportunity. At that point, his situation would become passive once more, just like before, so he naturally couldn't let this happen.
Thus, under his control, the **Death God's Law Aspect** continuously swung its arms, attacking the approaching mud-rock python. He wished to destroy the mud-rock python while preventing it from drawing closer. However, the enhanced mud-rock python's body was as hard as iron, and its strength was exceptionally formidable; the **Death God's Law Aspect** simply couldn't shatter it in a short amount of time.
Furthermore, the mud-rock python did not passively allow the **Death God's Law Aspect's** attacks to land. When faced with the **Death God's Law Aspect's** incoming assaults, the mud-rock python also chose to dodge. Although it couldn't evade all of the **Death God's Law Aspect's** attacks, it successfully dodged most of them.
In just a few breaths, the mud-rock python successfully closed in on the **Death God's Law Aspect**, then lashed out with its tail.
Boom! ! !
The **Death God's Law Aspect's** chest was struck. The immense force not only sent the **Death God's Law Aspect** recoiling a distance, but also caused cracks to appear on its chest.
Although the **Death God's Law Aspect** was a full circle larger than the mud-rock python in size, sometimes greater size doesn't necessarily mean superior strength. Just like the mud-rock python right now—while its physique wasn't as grand as the **Death God's Law Aspect's**, the power it wielded surpassed it, which was why it could crack the **Death God's Law Aspect's** chest with a single tail lash.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the **Black-Robed Person** continuously poured vast amounts of **Spirit Power** into the **Death God's Law Aspect**. However, the already significantly damaged **Death God's Law Aspect**, even with his **Spirit Power** augmentation, was like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water. The core problem wasn't resolved; the key was that the **Spirit Power** he injected wasn't enough to instantly repair the **Death God's Law Aspect's** damage. If his **Spirit Power** were strong enough, and he could channel enough of it into the **Death God's Law Aspect** at that moment, he could instantly mend the damaged areas. But in his current state, he simply couldn't achieve that.
After a furious barrage of attacks, the **Death God's Law Aspect** was riddled with cracks. Although it had defended during this process, and the **Black-Robed Person** continuously injected **Spirit Power** into it, facing the mud-rock python's assault, the **Death God's Law Aspect** still became utterly riddled with holes.
**Bai Xue** watched this unfold, knowing that the **Death God's Law Aspect** summoned by the **Black-Robed Person** was nearing its demise. Furthermore, the power the **Death God's Law Aspect** now possessed could hardly pose a threat to the mud-rock python anymore. So, she controlled the mud-rock python to close in, its serpentine body coiling around the **Death God's Law Aspect's** neck, then suddenly exerting immense force.
Boom! ! !
An explosive sound echoed. The **Death God's Law Aspect's** neck shattered with a resounding crack, its head, riddled with fissures, plummeted downwards. Immediately after, the mud-rock python's tail lashed out fiercely at the **Death God's Law Aspect's** dismembered body.
Boom! ! !
Another colossal sound reverberated, this one far louder and more deafening than the previous explosion.
The **Death God's Law Aspect's** incomplete body shattered with a thunderous crash under the mud-rock python's strike. The powerful shockwave generated by the explosion directly transformed the shattered remnants of the **Death God's Law Aspect** into visible threads of **Yin Qi**. Even the plummeting head of the **Death God's Law Aspect** was no exception, likewise dissipating into **Yin Qi** under this formidable shockwave.
The instant the **Death God's Law Aspect** shattered, the **Black-Robed Person** who controlled it immediately suffered a backlash. Large mouthfuls of blood spurted from his mouth. Although his face was concealed by his black robe, making it impossible to see, it was evident without a doubt that his complexion must have been ashen and bloodless. The reason was simple: the aura he now emitted was incredibly weak, a world apart from before. This alone was enough to confirm that his body had sustained severe damage.
It was a certainty that his face would turn bloodless after suffering such heavy injuries, so even without seeing the **Black-Robed Person's** complexion, one could surmise its state.
"Hehehehehe, this battle can pretty much end now. In your current state, even using your two **Soul Armaments** would be meaningless. Of course, even if you had used both **Soul Armaments** from the start, you still wouldn't be my opponent. My strength inherently surpasses yours, and your **Underworld Office's Spirit Power** doesn't restrain our **Demon Power**, so you won't be my opponent."
**Bai Xue** chuckled with a charming smile. As her words fell, the mud-rock python above suddenly thrashed its body under her control. Accompanied by a fierce roar, it lunged towards the **Black-Robed Person**, intent on killing him.
**Killing someone is about striking at their heart**, and the best way to do that is, naturally, through words. The purpose of **Bai Xue** speaking these words to the **Black-Robed Person** before making her move was precisely to strike at his heart.
In **Bai Xue's** eyes, the **Black-Robed Person** was already a dead man. For a dead man, she didn't mind saying a few extra words to irritate his nerves, making him regret his actions before his demise.
Of course, **Bai Xue** also understood the principle that **delay brings change**. So, she didn't waste too much time babbling with the **Black-Robed Person**. Since the goal of striking at his heart had been achieved, it was only natural to immediately deliver the killing blow and eliminate him, to prevent any unforeseen variables that could cause her to capsize in a ditch.
In the blink of an eye, the mud-rock python was before the **Black-Robed Person**. In his current state, the **Black-Robed Person** was naturally unable to directly contend with the mud-rock python. However, he had no intention of surrendering; instead, he dragged his severely injured body and forcibly tried to dodge.
