Chapter 549: The Strange Hand

ines and some soul-like demonic creatures were continuously annihilated within the boundless Profound Fire.From afar, Ji Yuan's expression was grim as he gazed upon the raging inferno. After Lu Xiaote...Lu Xia Tian coldly eyed the Wang Tuo monster, eyeing the pair of Fu Ling magic weapons in its hands with trepidation. However, he had Di Kun, who excelled at close combat, restrict its movement and speed, while using the power of the Bagua Locking Demon Formation to hold it back. Lu Xia Tian himself kept a distance from the Wang Tuo monster, only attacking with his Huo Jiao bow and arrows. He wouldn't give the Wang Tuo monster any chance to get close, for he could sense the intense danger emanating from those two Hao Ya.

Wang Tuchuai several times wanted to rush over and solve Lu Xiaoteng, but he was restrained by Dikun and the power of the formation, his speed greatly reduced. Lu Xiaoteng always managed to dodge from afar, only attacking with bows and arrows. It is obvious that he wants to use this method to wear him down.

A mournful cry suddenly echoed within the "Hum" formation. Wang Duo, the King of Beasts, turned his head in response, his face contorting with alarm. His tiger-headed blade was severely restricted within the Bagua Demon Sealing Formation. Under the full-scale counterattack of the Earth-Splitting Blade, its brownish glow dimmed considerably, appearing lifeless and on the verge of collapsing.

“We are sure to lose if this continues!” Wang Duo roared, gritting his teeth. Suddenly, the glow of a large fang in his hand intensified. The runes on it whirled at several times the previous speed, and one of the fangs shot towards Di Kun like lightning.

The sheer force of the blow was jaw-dropping. Coupled with Emperor Kun's original tactic of charging towards Wang Tuo with a short-range offensive, in this hasty moment, even if he tried to change his attack, it wouldn't be as fast as Hao Ya's speed.

Di Kun's growth speed exceeded his own by a bit, Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't allow Di Kun to be disadvantaged, hurriedly controlling both the Yin-Yang Fish and the Hao Ya to attack simultaneously. Di Kun also roared again and again, circles of sound waves causing Hao Ya's speed to slow down once more.

Kacha! The Crackling Blade forced the Tiger Head Knife of the Wang Duo monster completely back.

Lu Xia tian coldly watched Wang Duo monster's desperate approach. He was still somewhat wary of the two fangs he had, but now that he was blindly swinging one out, he wouldn't give Wang Duo monster another chance to take it back. Even if Wang Duo monster was strong, after the intense battle just now, his consumption would inevitably be considerable, and he was also injured at this time.

Emperor Kun's formation power could quickly eliminate the other threat from the tooth-consuming beings. Relying on Wang Tuo's spirit, it was impossible to simultaneously retrieve the Tiger Head Blade and the other tooth-consuming being under Lu Xiaoteng's blockade. All Lu Xiaoteng needed to do now was hold back Wang Tuo. With his own strength, Lu Xiaoteng wasn't arrogant enough to think he could deal with Wang Tuo, but holding him off for a while was still achievable.

Faced with the Wang Tuo monster's desperate counterattack, Lu Xiaoteng stepped forward, unflinching, and directly drew his bow to strike the monster's head. Although the Fire Jiao Bow was not a close-combat weapon, it was undoubtedly much harder than a cultivator's skull.

The King of Camels' eyes were cold, knowing that time was the most precious thing for him right now. Once Di Kun and the power of the formation dealt with the threat, and the triumphant Earth-Splitting Golden Saber came to strike, he, already at his weakest, would be utterly destroyed.

Faced with Lu Xiaotian's relentless advance, even though the King Camelopard had several ways to knock Lu Xiaotian down, each required some effort. However, Lu Xiaotian would not give him more time. At this moment, the King Camelopard had no other choice but to slightly dodge the howling Fire Dragon Bow and with his right hand's fang-like weapon, he swiftly thrust it towards Lu Xiaotian.

Lu Xiaitian directly reached out and punched the two rat-tooth creatures with a horizontal strike. With the strength of Wang Duo's monster, he was also hard-pressed to parry. At this time, there was only one rat-tooth creature left, and he only needed to block Wang Duo's monster. Naturally, Lu Xiaitian was not afraid.

With a bang! Lu Xia tian punched the Háo Yá. The spirit inscription on the Háo Yá flashed, and the immense force sent a numb sensation through Lu Xia tian's wrist. Wang Tu Gui's cultivation level was indeed much higher than his, and the power of the Háo Yá was also formidable. Just this one blow sent Lu Xia tian staggering back several steps, his internal blood qi surging wildly. His hand bones felt like they were about to break. If not for still wearing his broken fist glove, Lu Xia tian believed the consequences would have been far worse.

"Heh heh, the power of a spirit artifact isn't bad, is it" Wang Tuo grinned viciously, still pressing his attack on Lu Xiaitian's vulnerable points.

Here's the text translated into English:

At this point, he could no longer wait for the reinforcements from either Lie Ge Dao or Di Kun. Wang Tuo's initial attacks had to be met with his own strength. Lu Xia Tian hardened his face and made a decision in an instant. The fire dragon bow in his hand transformed into a phantom and smashed towards Hao Ya.

With a deafening boom, the Fire Dragon Bow shattered. This bow was a magical artifact that Lu Xia Tian had nurtured with his spiritual essence and Dan Yuan for decades. It bore his divine consciousness. Now that the bow was destroyed, Lu Xia Tian's spirit was shaken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. However, in this attack, Wang Duo’s tusk-like weapon was also shattered.

Lu XiaTian endured the agonizing pain, seizing the opportunity to advance a few steps. Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Duo's defenses were wide open, he launched two punches straight at Wang Duo's chest.

The King of Camels came to his senses, and his face was filled with ferocity. He once again waved the worn tooth toward Lu Xiaoteng's body. Under the King of Camels' desperate counterattack, the worn tooth became unbelievably fast. To get rid of Lu Xiaoteng, the King of Camels was putting all his effort into it. After all, if Lu Xiaoteng died, no one would control the formation. His biggest threat would be gone. Even if Di Kun was powerful, he might not be able to do anything to him, even if he was seriously injured.

As Lu Xiaoteng punched, Wang Diao also desperately dodged vital points. When a punch landed on his ribs, bones cracked, and Wang Diao's teeth chattered. Lu Xiaoteng raised his left arm to block the fatal blow, but the tremendous force from the spirit artifact shattered his left arm directly upon impact.

Lu Xiaoteng drew a cold breath, raised his leg and kicked Wang Duo's waist. Wang Duo let out a scream. After all, he couldn't compare to Lu Xiaoteng's physical cultivation base. With this whip kick, his body spun like a top.

Lu Xiaoteng's face was cold as he stepped forward two paces. At this moment, the Wang Tuo monster turned around twice, his back facing him. Lu Xiaoteng was about to strike Wang Tuo again when suddenly, there was a ripping sound from Wang Tuo's back. The humped part of his back and clothes burst open. Lu Xiaoteng didn't suspect anything at first, but soon felt an unprecedented sense of danger approaching. From the gap in the torn clothes, a hand emerged, as gnarled as an old tree root. It moved with such incredible speed that even Lu Xiaoteng couldn't react in time.

In his haste, Lu Xia Tian could only use his other, still intact right hand to block. With a deafening boom, an irresistible force surged forward, his arm bones cracking and snapping like twigs. The old tree root-like hand, bypassing Lu Xia Tian's severed arm, slammed into his chest.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoteng's body flew backward like a broken sandbag. If not for Lu Xiaoteng's strong will, this blow would have been enough to knock him unconscious. The Crack-Earth Knife, which had just chopped the Tiger Head Sword to the ground, lost its magical power due to Lu Xiaoteng's injury and was now floating in the air, poised to charge at the Wang Tuo Monster. However, it was unable to move.m the Qinling Mountains turned cold, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint. He reached out and held up the Town Demon Pagoda he had borrowed from Lu Xiaitian earlier. The cracks on it seemed to have he...
