Chapter 843: He Can't Kill Me
The giant axe fell, its power so immense that the entire Broken Head Mountain below collapsed!
During the previous battles, this Broken Head Mountain had already been on the verge of collapse, battered beyond recognition. Now, suffering such a violent blow from the Hunter, the already teetering Broken Head Mountain could no longer bear it and directly shattered!
Although Broken Head Mountain was already crumbling, there was no denying the might of the Hunter's axe. Without absolute power, such a feat would naturally be impossible.
Amidst the pervasive dust and smoke, the Hunter, gripping his great axe with both hands, gasped faintly. The primary objective of this axe swing was to slay Xu Meijing and Yang Haoran together, hence its immense power. However, it naturally exacted a considerable toll on the Star Spirit Power within him.
It was precisely because of the significant expenditure of Star Spirit Power in a single strike, combined with the exhaustion and injuries from the preceding battle, that he was now incessantly gasping for breath.
“What kind of damned Soul Armament is that? In my eyes, it's as crisp as a potato chip. ”
The Hunter's tone was dismissive, and his perpetually grim face finally cracked into a faint smile. In his view, with Xu Meijing and Yang Haoran eliminated, Ye Zhiqiu would be much easier to deal with.
However, just at that moment, he suddenly sensed something. The smile that had just graced his face instantly stiffened, and then his expression turned exceedingly grim. He whirled around, glaring in a particular direction.
“They’re not dead? What tenacity! ”
The Hunter spoke in a deep voice. Then, a visible surge of Star Spirit Power erupted from within him, forming a green pillar of light that shot skyward, directly dispersing the pervasive dust and smoke.
As the dust quickly dissipated, two figures entered his sight, transitioning from blurry to distinct in the blink of an eye. These two were none other than Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.
Xu Meijing's face was pale. With Yang Haoran's support, she took out a Soul Pill and swallowed it. At this moment, not only were her physical injuries severe, but her Spirit Power within had also been significantly depleted. Although she had found an opportunity to take the Pharmacist's Medicine earlier, under the Hunter's relentless assault afterward, she hadn't even had the chance to consume a Soul Pill, thus preventing her Spirit Power from rapidly recovering.
Now that an opportunity presented itself, she naturally had to seize it. After all, in such a life-and-death struggle, every bit of extra power meant an increased chance of slaying the opponent, or at the very least, a greater chance of survival.
Xu Meijing's condition was somewhat dire, but Yang Haoran, who was supporting her, looked even more wretched than she did.
Yang Haoran was drenched in blood from head to toe, his face completely covered in it, making him resemble a malevolent ghost freshly crawled from a pool of gore.
Nevertheless, his pair of ink-black Ghost Eyes gleamed with piercing vitality. The Yin Qi rising within them seemed to possess an ineffable demonic allure, threatening to forcibly draw one's very soul inside.
“Senior, your senses seem to have dulled. ”
Yang Haoran looked at the Hunter and spoke with a smile. Although his smile was as gentle as ever, with his face covered in blood, he emanated no warmth whatsoever, instead giving off a vicious, bloodthirsty aura.
The Hunter naturally understood Yang Haoran's meaning. His axe had just missed Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing; logically, as a three-star Demon Hunter, he should have sensed it immediately. Yet, not only did he fail to detect it at once, but he had also believed Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing had perished under his axe, thus becoming the target of Yang Haoran's mockery now.
“Even if my reactions have dulled, they are still sufficient to deal with you three! ”
As the Hunter spoke, he continuously poured large amounts of Star Spirit Power into the great axe in his hand. The moment his words fell, he moved, charging towards Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.
Although his previous strike hadn't succeeded in slaying Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing as he wished, he did not give up. He decisively launched another attack on the two, intending to strike while the iron was hot and eliminate them both, affording them no chance to recover.
“You rest for a moment. ”
Yang Haoran gently pushed Xu Meijing out of his embrace and said with a smile. The moment his words finished, the Hunter's axe was already cleaving down towards his head.
Boom! ! !
A powerful ripple of energy erupted from within Yang Haoran's body. Spirit Power materialized into two giant hands, swiftly reaching out to grasp the descending great axe.
The two black hands blocked the descending great axe, but they trembled violently, appearing as if they could shatter at any moment.
“I didn't expect you could actually Open your Earth Soul at such a crucial moment. However, with this much power, you're still no match for me! ”
The power fluctuation erupting from Yang Haoran at this moment was many times stronger than before. It was precisely for this reason that the two giant hands condensed from Yang Haoran's Spirit Power were able to catch his great axe.
Based solely on this, he could confirm that Yang Haoran had indeed Opened his Earth Soul. While this was not what he wished to see, he had no choice but to acknowledge the truth.
The moment the Hunter's words fell, the two giant hands condensed from Yang Haoran's Spirit Power were instantly shattered by the great axe.
Deprived of the two massive hands' resistance, the great axe ripped through space, descending with a mighty force. However, Yang Haoran had already dodged, causing the axe to miss its mark once more.
“Coward! Didn't you successfully Open your Earth Soul? Why are you still only hiding? ! ”
The Hunter roared furiously, gripping his great axe as he charged at Yang Haoran once more. If he didn't land a hit on Yang Haoran, the fury in his heart would not dissipate; instead, it would intensify with each of Yang Haoran's dodges, making him feel terribly stifled. Thus, he completely ignored Xu Meijing and directly rushed Yang Haoran.
Rage had already clouded the three-star Demon Hunter's judgment. In this situation, if he had directly attacked the heavily injured Xu Meijing, he wouldn't have feared Yang Haoran falling for the bait. Yet, in his fury, he did no such thing, instead relentlessly pursuing Yang Haoran.
It was no wonder he was so furious. In his eyes, Yang Haoran was nothing more than an ant he could crush at any moment. But he hadn't killed this ant before; instead, this ant had bitten him with a sneak attack. And now, this ant had successfully Opened its Earth Soul, becoming an existence on the same realm as him. How could he not be enraged?
Seeing Yang Haoran's technique instantly broken by the Hunter, Xu Meijing worried that Yang Haoran might be in danger and intended to intervene and help him. However, just as she was about to act, Yang Haoran's voice entered her ears.
“Don't worry about me. He can't kill the current me anymore. You rest for a bit. Once you've recovered somewhat, you can help Ye Zhiqiu eliminate that woman, so she won't be in the way. ”
Yang Haoran's words not only poured oil onto the flames of fury in the Hunter's heart but also enraged the woman who was currently fighting Ye Zhiqiu.
“Boasting shamelessly! Kill Ye Zhiqiu! You ant are next! ”
The woman responded furiously. If she weren't currently suppressing Ye Zhiqiu and victory wasn't so close, she truly would have abandoned him and attacked Yang Haoran directly.
“You insignificant Underworld Official, don't be so arrogant! If I can't kill you today, then from now on, I'll kowtow to everyone I meet! ”
The enraged Hunter couldn't help but swear a poisonous oath. From his words, it was clear how deep his hatred for Yang Haoran was and how resolute his determination to kill him.
Yang Haoran chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, conjured seven thumb-sized porcelain bottles. Enveloped in Yin Qi, these bottles shot like bullets towards the attacking Hunter.
Without a second thought, the Hunter brought his axe down, directly smashing the seven delicate porcelain bottles to smithereens.
As the seven porcelain bottles were split open, clusters of transparent liquid burst forth. Each of these seven bottles contained this transparent liquid, suggesting they were all of the same type.
After bursting, these transparent liquids did not scatter like ordinary liquids. Instead, they immediately vanished into thin air, evaporating and disappearing.
“Petty tricks! I fell for it once! Do you think I'll fall for it a second time? ! Even if you flood this place with venom, it won't harm me in the slightest! ”
