Chapter 473: Absorb Essence And Blood

“Young fella, don’t drag me into this even if you want to die!” Long Dexing yelled. He dared not get tied to Ou Yangming because he would be doomed if he did not leave the area as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not respond and only expressed himself through the saber in his hand. A saber-light flashed as he attacked unforgivingly.

Long Dexing flashed and did his best to dodge it. His body swayed as if he had no bones, and he drifted away like liquid. Even so, Ou Yangming pursued him hotly and attacked with his saber-light as though he wanted to die together with the man.

When Ou Yangming drew the Heavenly Thunderbolts, Long Dexing knew the young fellow was attacking him without holding back because he was going to die for sure. The man believed that Ou Yangming would get what he wished for if he gave tit for tat.

In any case, it would be difficult for Ou Yangming to stop Long Dexing.

Long Dexing’s strange body swayed several times again and finally broke free from the saber-light’s area, but an intense flame appeared just as he wanted to speed up to escape.

It was a fireball thrown by Ou Yangming, but it did not come from an ordinary Fireball Art; the Military Fire was its core.

The exploded fireball instantly hurt Long Dexing as if it was directly burning his soul. Even though it could not kill him, it caused him tremendous pain and forced his body to stop for a moment.

Ou Yangming charged forward with his saber without giving up at all.

That being said, Long Dexing was a supreme powerhouse, after all, hence he turned and hid the instant the military saber was about to touch his body.

It was unusually excruciating for him.

Long Dexing did not stand a chance to get away in a short time from the human, who possessed the contrasting abilities of the Heavenly Phoenix and Sir Devil God.

“Boom…”

After a brief delay, the second Heavenly Thunderbolt struck.

Long Dexing could tell when he sensed the thunderbolt’s aura that he could not evade it this time. He crouched halfway decisively and raised his hands. Subsequently, the endless blood in his body gushed upward and formed another giant blood-light shield above his head.

This was his greatest defensive power. As long as the thunderbolt did not wreck it, his life would not be threatened.

He did not bother about how Ou Yangming would deal with the Heavenly Thunderbolt. In fact, he wished that the thunderbolt would simply kill the young fellow.

At last, the Heavenly Thunderbolt arrived and hit Long Dexing’s head hard. The thunderbolt splashes and the blood light intertwined and gave off incredibly frightening energy.

Long Dexing sighed a breath of relief. He could sense that the thunderbolt power had reduced, and he managed to withstand the attack by a close call. The man would have to stay away from Ou Yangming—the source of the disaster—even if it would damage his vitality.

In spite of that, a dazzling light appeared amidst the thunderbolt.

‘The light seems familiar…’

For some reason, Long Dexing was struck with such a thought. Before long, he saw the light hit his blood-light plate ruthlessly.

Long Dexing let out a shrill and despairing roar because he finally understood why the light seemed familiar to him; it was Ou Yangming’s saber-light.

However, Long Dexing could not understand how Ou Yangming had the extra energy to attack while being hit by the Heavenly Thunderbolt.

Even he could only focus on guarding against the thunderbolt. Not to mention attacking someone else, he could not be distracted at all.

No matter how confused he was, the saber-light still slashed the blood plate without being obstructed.

The blood plate’s power originated from Sir Devil God and could somewhat resist the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, but Long Dexing was faced with the Sky-devouring Devil God’s unique Devouring attribute.

Under the attribute, the blood plate’s power had no resisting ability at all, and its power kept being absorbed by the Devouring attribute.

The blood plate’s energy was formed by the agglomeration of Long Dexing’s essence and blood, thus it would break his heart even if a bit was taken away. Ou Yangming could only absorb a bit of the power when he gashed Long Dexing’s body with his saber but this time, he took away a substantial amount of essence and blood.

Long Dexing almost passed out on the spot due to the immense pain.

Nonetheless, an even more fearsome Heavenly Thunderbolt descended.

When the blood plate that gathered Long Dexing’s essence and blood was broken, the Heavenly Thunderbolt finally struck him without being hindered.

Next, Long Dexing’s body went numb as if electricity lingered inside his body. He could not move an inch, and he could not think as well.

After losing guard, even a powerhouse like him would become powerless against the Heavenly Thunderbolts. Although he could not resist anymore, he could fix his gaze on Ou Yangming.

Long Dexing wanted to know if the presumptuous human would die sooner than he would because of the thunderbolt.

That said, he widened his eyes in disbelief when he saw the situation around Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming was surrounded by a layer of an odd yet indescribable light ring with fluctuations. The thunderbolt was diminished in layers and was constantly dissipated to the ground.

Long Dexing could not identify how much thunderbolt power was drained by the light right, but it was evident from Ou Yangming’s indifference that he did not suffer much thunderbolt power.

‘What’s… That?’

At this point, Long Dexing finally understood that Ou Yangming did not intend to perish together with him; the young fellow had a plan.

Ou Yangming definitely possessed an ultimate treasure that allowed him to defend against the Heavenly Thunderbolts, which was why he made the seemingly suicidal choice. When Long Dexing thought about how he ended up as a funeral object—no, he was not even a funeral object because Ou Yangming would not die—he was not resigned to the outcome.

The round of thunderbolt disappeared after a split second, but Long Dexing’s body did not recover right away.

Given that he suffered an internal hit from the thunderbolt, he could not recover so quickly. The only thing he could do was to stare at Ou Yangming with hate.

Ou Yangming grinned. He turned his wrist and stabbed his saber into Long Dexing’s chest.

Long Dexing still could not move because his body was numb, but his remaining essence and blood left him like a flood.

Looking at the flickering bloody light on the Military Fire, Long Dexing’s body quickly deflated. Nobody knew what went through his mind when he had his last breath, but he looked regretful.

It remained unknown whether he regretted coming to the lower realm or having given Ou Yangming the opportunity to summon the Heavenly Thunderbolts.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and withdrew his saber before he took three steps back. The surging essential Qi in his body was simply unimaginable.

Essence and blood—they were essence and blood from a powerhouse that went beyond Extreme Grade. They were so rich that it was unbelievable. Ou Yangming felt like he received benefits greater than when Big Yellow devoured the spirit insect.

Even so, the mighty essence and blood seemed to have exceeded his body’s withstandable limit.

Ou Yangming smiled helplessly at this moment. He knew it would be unfavorable if the Devouring power exceeded his consumable limit and could backlash.

Despite that, Long Dexing’s essence and blood were too attractive. He was drawn the first time he came into contact with them, which attracted him more than the refinement of the crystal ball did.

In a way, Ou Yangming had only acted according to his body’s instinct; he only awakened after he withdrew the very last bit of Long Dexing’s essence and blood.

“Boom…”

Following that, the third Heavenly Thunderbolt struck mercilessly. Ou Yangming scoffed and activated the Thunderbolt-resistant attribute in his suit. By the time the thunderbolt power landed on him after it was reduced layer by layer, it became rather insignificant. This was also the biggest reason the young fellow dared to summon the thunderbolts.

Since Big Yellow could resist the Heavenly Thunderbolts, why could he not?

Sure enough, the third Heavenly Thunderbolt was not too much of a burden for him. Based on his strength at the moment, he could easily withstand it. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was surprised because he realized that the boiling essence and blood in his body seemed to have become obedient.

Especially when the Heavenly Thunderbolt entered his body, the essence and blood, which initially wanted revolt, became gentle and initiated contact with his essential Qi to resist the thunderbolt.

Nevertheless, the power of the essence and blood was overly powerful, whereas the moderated Heavenly Thunderbolt was too weak. Once the thunderbolt’s threat was gone, the endless essence and blood began to backlash again.

Ou Yangming was too greedy this time, so the power that he absorbed was far from the acceptable limit for his essential Qi. If he had not possessed great mental power, he would have exploded and died long ago.

Having said that, nobody knew how long it would take for the energies of the essence and blood to be completely converted. If there was a mishap during the process, there would also be an unpredictable consequence.

The young fellow gritted his teeth and looked at the sky, then he suddenly dropped the little round shield in his hand.

He looked up at the sky on the empty ground, then he raised his hands into the air and shouted, “You damn Heaven, come at me!”

As he wished, a thunderous sound was heard, then a lightning bolt struck him.
