道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

Chapter 806

The common issue that all long-lived monsters face under the passage of time is boredom.

To them this issue is unavoidable for the longer they live the more they shall see and eventually it will result in everything beginning to look the same causing their minds to perceive the world around them with dullness.

To those who have seen all there is to see in this plane of heaven and earth there shouldn't be anything left in this world to excite their hearts but on the off chance that something new, should an unknown variant that is outside of the norms appear before their eyes the flames of interest in their hearts would surely be rekindled.

A soul that is the fusion of two contrasting natures that would normally jeopardize the other's existence; it goes without saying that something like this would interest Yi Zhu Xian as she finds the flames of interest in her heart being kindled by the possibilities of the unknown before her.

It goes without saying that a chance to see an unknown such as this doesn't come around often.

In fact it would be difficult for Yi Zhu Xian to even recall the last time that she had seen something like this.

Destroy it? That would be far too wasteful when she has yet to see its final moments.

To Yi Zhu Xian the final moment of an unknown possesses an alluring sense of beauty that is difficult to describe with words alone. This sense of beauty is something that can only be understood by those of her circle.

The rarity of that beauty can only be compared to the scene of a dying world's final moments in which the will of that world would attempt to propels all the lifeforms within it outwards in the manners of a sacrificial mother sending her children off into a brighter possibility when their home or place of belonging is eternally gone.

(The unknown that I yearn to see. Here and now it stands before me. How unexpected... Do put up a good performance as I look forward to seeing where this destiny may lead.)

The words that Yi Zhu Xian had just said repeats itself in Ye Gui Feng's head but-

[What are yo- Uh?]

Just as he is about to ask what it is that Yi Zhu Xian finds amusing his mouth pauses as he turns his attention towards Xuan Nuo.

"..."

Although no visible changes have occurred something felt different about Xuan Nuo who is sitting upon the head of the dark wolf. Compared to before the savage energy that exudes from his body has become denser and more beast like.

Constricting his eyes Ye Gui Feng can tell that most of the cold Qi in Xuan Nuo's body have already been expelled.

[...Did he...?]

Realizing what had happened a bead of cold sweat rolls down the side of Ye Gui Feng's head. Right now he didn't have the leisure to question Yi Zhu Xian's plans as he turns his body to face Xuan Nuo who is rising to a stand.

The impression of Xuan Nuo's imposing stance is similar to that of a wolf that has all its hair raised with the intent to pounce at any given moment.

"..."

*Boom!* just as Xuan Nuo is about to straighten his back fully his body vanishes from the head of the dark wolf.

"..."

[...!]

Upon Ye Gui Feng drawing his next breath Xuan Nuo had appeared right in front of him with his fist thrown outwards!

Although the speed of Xuan Nuo's approach had been as swift as lightning it wasn't impossible for Ye Gui Feng to react as he held up the sword in his hand to block the incoming attack.

*KLANG!!!!!* a deafening sound rings as sparks fly with the sharp knuckles of Xuan Nuo's gauntlet brushing across the surface of the sword's blade!

[Kuh...!]

Widening his eyes upon the realization that the momentum behind this blow is impossible to shrug off the sensation of high speed movement presses onto Ye Gui Feng from the front as he finds himself thrown backwards.

[...]

It wasn't until a few hundred meters later that Ye Gui Feng grinds to a stop and raises his head. But by the time he had done this Xuan Nuo's figure had already vanished from his original location.

[...]

Blinking his eyes once a fist suddenly appears in front of Ye Gui Feng's view with it being less than an inch away from making contact with him.

From a bystander's point of view this attack that is already so close to connecting would surely land without a doubt however-

"..."

[...!]

Relying on his instincts Ye Gui Feng manages to kick the air beneath his right foot and dodge back.

Looking from a distance this should have been a clean dodge but in a battle between practitioners of their level things can never be that simple.

*BOOM!!!!!* although the main attack had failed to connect the moment Xuan Nuo stretched his arm out fully a ripple appears in front of his fist and a powerful shockwave pushes forth!

With a grim expression on his face Ye Gui Feng quickly moves to the side starting with his head but the distance that separates him from Xuan Nuo wasn't that far to begin with.

Under these circumstances it is impossible to evade the incoming shockwave completely and having realized this Ye Gui Feng leans his head as much as possible to the right.

As the shockwave brushes pass the side of Ye Gui Feng's face the pressure of this blast instantaneously crushes his left eye causing a streak of blood to flow outwards!

[...!]

Closing his left eye and ignoring the pain Ye Gui Feng knew that if he continues to fall back he would only be moving to Xuan Nuo's tune.

"..."

Having depraved half of Ye Gui Feng's sight Xuan Nuo moves forth and closes in on his opponent from their blind side.

[...]

"..."

With his fist drawn back Xuan Nuo is just about to throw out another punch of devastating force but as soon as he throws his right arm out to strike-

*BOOM!!!!!* a colossal wall dyed in the colors of blood crashes down from above and blocks him off!

*-!!!* a droning sound that would cause the ears of the listener to tremble echoes and almost as if he is but a fly the red wall moves and flings Xuan Nuo back!

"..."

Coming to a stop Xuan Nuo sees the identity of the thing that had blocked off his attack.

It was none other than the human like vessel that is behind Ye Gui Feng and as it grips the sword in its hand tightly the light that shrouds its body begins to break down.

*Kakakakaka!* similar to grains of sand the shroud breaks away from the vessel's body and dissipates into nothing.

It didn't take long for the shroud's entirety to collapse as the figure of a colossal giant dressed in a white set of robes is revealed.

The bare skin of the giant is covered with runes of unknown origin while the robe it worn is decorated with lycoris patterns.

With its eyes closed the giant gives off the impression of it being indifferent towards anything that it faces as it turns its head towards the direction of Xuan Nuo while raising the sword in its right hand.

From a distance away the sight in front of Xuan Nuo can only be described as staggering as the giant prepares to lower the weapon in its hand without mercy.
