Chapter 463
“What?
I can’t withstand it!
Damn it! ”
Xie Mantang was alarmed when he saw that his palm beam could not withstand such a tiny energy. His eyes nearly popped out as he frantically retreated. The silver lightning was so strange that he was unsure if his energy barrier and Desolate Power armor could withstand it. If they could not, then he would be at the North Pole.
“Whew!” “Whew!”
As Xie Mantang retreated, the silver lightning seemed to have eyes. It quickly chased after Xie Mantang, as though it would not stop until it caught up to and killed Xie Mantang. At this moment, Xie Mantang, who was always filled with confidence, finally panicked. He even felt a little fear.
Humans were like this. Be it mortals or warriors, they were afraid of unknown dangers. The silver lightning could easily penetrate Xie Yusheng’s Desolate Power armor and Xie Mantang’s palm beam. Hence, the powerful Xie Mantang was afraid of the silver lightning. He was afraid that he would follow in Xie Yusheng’s footsteps.
“Whew!”
Xie Mantang discovered the silver lightning a little too late. The silver lightning continued to approach Xie Mantang, and its speed was more than two times faster than Xie Mantang’s retreating speed. Xie Mantang naturally could not escape.
“I don’t believe that my Heavenly Dao energy barrier can’t withstand such a tiny bit of energy!”
Since he could not avoid it, Xie Mantang decided not to escape. He decided to use the Heavenly Dao energy barrier’s perverse defense to withstand the silver lightning. As long as he was certain that the energy barrier could withstand the silver lightning, then the Lion King would not be a threat to him. When that happened, he could play as The Lion King however he wanted.
“Puah!”
“Puah!”
The silver bolt of lightning did not “disappoint” Xie Mantang. When the silver bolt of lightning came into contact with the energy barrier around Xie Mantang’s body, there was no obstruction at all. It penetrated the energy barrier and following that, the silver bolt of lightning began to attack Xie Mantang’s Desolate Power armor. Without any surprises, the silver bolt of lightning easily penetrated the Desolate Power armor.
“Ah!
No!
It hurts so much! ”
“This energy is actually a soul attack!
No wonder ordinary energy can’t stop it at all!
I was careless!
Ah! ”
“You want me to die!?
How is that possible!?
Get out of my head with this old man!
Scram! ”
The moment the silver lightning entered Xie Mantang’s head, he immediately let out a blood-curdling scream. However, he was still able to speak, and his words were clear. His consciousness was also relatively clear, as though his body and consciousness were fighting against the silver lightning.
What a terrifying Xie ManTang!
An Earth Dragon Realm expert was indeed impressive. The moment the silver lightning entered Xie Mantang’s mind, he immediately knew what kind of energy it was. The silver lightning was the pure Soul Attack energy of The Lion King. No wonder it was so impressive. No wonder it could easily penetrate the Desolate Power armor and energy shield.
It was rumored that Soul attacks could only be defended against with Soul Energy. The Power of Desolates and other energies were useless against it. This was because Soul Energy was a special and magical energy. It was intrinsically different from other energies. This was a characteristic of life. It was the greatest difference between living things and other inanimate objects.
Xie Mantang was an Earthly Dragon Realm warrior. An Earthly Dragon Realm warrior comprehended the Way of Heaven, so his soul was naturally very powerful. If his soul was not powerful enough, he would not be able to comprehend the Way of Heaven. Xie Mantang’s defense and attack skills were so powerful, so he must have comprehended some Way of Heaven. From this, it could be inferred that his soul was not to be underestimated.
“Ah!
Damn it!
Get lost!
No … ”
Xie Mantang hugged his head and let out a series of incoherent sounds. His expression was sometimes painful and sometimes ferocious. It was obvious that he was suffering from the attack and torture of the silver lightning. At the same time, he was using his powerful Soul Power to fight against the silver lightning.
Now, was Xie Mantang’s Soul Power stronger or the silver lightning’s Soul Attack stronger?
If he won, he would live. If he lost, he would die. This was how cruel battles were. Mortal enemies would usually fight to the death.
“Boom!”
“Roar!”
At this moment, the river surface that had just quietened down exploded. The Lion King, who had been hiding at the bottom of the river, broke out of the water and created a huge splash. He flew a hundred feet above the water surface and let out an earth-shattering roar before landing on the ground.
“Bang!”
The Lion King landed on the river bank and was a little unsteady. Obviously, his front paw was injured. In addition, his eyes were a little sluggish. It seemed to be related to the three silver lightning strikes that he had sent out in a day. It seemed that pure Soul Attack could not be used casually. It would cause great damage to his Soul Power.
The silver lightning was formed by the Lion King’s Soul Power. It was shot out from the silver horn between the Lion King’s eyebrows. It was used to attack the soul of enemies. Weak enemies would be killed by the silver lightning. Enemies with strength similar to that of the Lion King would be tortured to death by the silver lightning. Enemies with strength stronger than the Lion King would be severely injured by the silver lightning.
At present, it all depended on whether the Lion King’s silvery lightning was stronger or Xie Mantang’s soul power was stronger. Whoever’s soul power was stronger would be the final victor. It had nothing to do with one’s cultivation level.
“Whew!”
The Lion King stared coldly at Xie Mantang, who was hundreds of feet away. He realized that although Xie Mantang was roaring in pain while hugging his head, he was still maintaining the Desolate Power Armor and energy barrier. Clearly, Xie Mantang was still conscious. Seeing this situation, Da Huang did not hesitate to send out another silver lightning bolt. The silver lightning bolt shot straight at Xie Mantang.
Adding fuel to the fire!
In order to severely injure Xie Mantang, the Lion King, Da Huang, disregarded the large consumption of his Soul Power and sent out another Soul Attack. He had no other choice. Xie Mantang had activated two layers of defense. The Desolate Power Bullet and close range attacks could not cause any substantial damage to Xie Mantang. Only the silver lightning bolt could break through the two layers of defense and enter Xie Mantang’s head, severely injuring his soul.
“Ah!
Bastard!
I’ll kill you! ”
After a few seconds, the silver lightning bolt shot into Xie Mantang’s head, which was already in extreme pain. This time, Xie Mantang was in an even worse state. He could not stand steadily from the pain and began rolling on the ground. However, his Soul Power was indeed strong. Not only did he not die from the two silver lightning bolts, he even managed to maintain a trace of consciousness. He was truly a terrifying old man.
“Bang!”
Da Huang had sent out four Soul Attacks in a day. There was not much Soul Power left in his head. His head drooped and his eyes were lifeless. His brain felt like it had turned into paste. His massive body was swaying and was a little out of control. Coupled with his injuries, he finally could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
The Lion King’s front claw bone had been broken by Xie Mantang’s palm. In addition, his internal organs had suffered quite a bit of shock. Coupled with the two consecutive Soul Attacks on Xie Mantang, even the strong Lion King could not hold on. Now, it was difficult for him to send out another silver lightning bolt.
“Roar!”
The Lion King was the king of beasts. Its dignity as a supreme beast king did not allow it to crawl on the ground like a dog during a battle. Hence, it let out an unwilling lion roar and stood up with all its might. Its battle intent soared to the heavens.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Xie Mantang’s head was in so much pain that his body kept rolling on the ground, crushing the weeds and small trees on the ground. Even a rock was smashed by his body. His old face no longer had a trace of benevolence. It was distorted to the extreme. The corner of his eyes were cracked, and the blood had dyed his fierce eyes incomparably hideous.
