Chapter 21: Ruthless Confrontation
What am I fighting for? Looking at the flying blood mist and flesh, Wang Tao questioned himself.
"Was it to comprehend the 'Fate of Heaven's Blade'? Or was it to find his own inadequacies?" These were all wandering in his heart, unable to be certain, perhaps both existed! However, Wang Tao knew that neither of these was the true meaning of battle!
"Maybe for life, maybe also ambition..."
For a moment's mistake, Wang Tao's body was finally injured. His right shoulder was scratched by the sharp claws of the wild beast, leaving a bloody and unclear gash, with fresh blood spraying out!
"It's just a minor injury!"
At the same time as telling himself in his heart, Wang Tao burst out laughing and once again raised his knife to charge forward!
Although Wang Tao was injured, the other party did not gain much benefit! Because Wang Tao's knife also scratched the forehead of the wild dog beast, although only breaking the skin, the shock still made the wild dog beast dizzy.
Now both sides have forgotten their original intentions. The wild dog has forgotten that it came for the spiritual material, and only wants to tear Wang Tao apart, eating his bone marrow and flesh! And Wang Tao also forgot that he was here to practice "Destiny Heaven Knife" and accumulate combat experience, he just wanted to win, in this weak-eat-strong world, he needed a victory to boost his morale!
A sharp and heavy blade, swift and sharp claws, in the back-and-forth struggle, blood mist is continuous, scattered across the void, dyeing the body red!
The sword that broke through the air slashed through the bloody mist and pointed directly at the forehead of the fierce beast, with a resolute and crazy face, along with flying black hair, was so crazy and cold-blooded.
The wild beast that has adapted to the jungle law, how fast is its reaction? In the instant when the nameless knife cut through the bloody fog, it raised its paw and welcomed it...
Cruel and cold confrontation, the sound of clashing blades and claws, the occasional tearing of flesh and the rumbling noise, in this quiet forest, played a melody that hastened death and lost souls!
After another collision, both parties were ruthlessly knocked flying, and for a long time, neither could get up. Wang Tao's face was pale and bloodless, having lost too much blood, his chest heaving violently, his mouth gasping loudly like a blower, his eyes dazed and looking up at the clouds in the sky.
"Perhaps now I can take the spiritual medicine to recover my true energy and physical strength, it should be possible to kill it here. No, it's definitely possible to kill it here! But is that really what Wang Tao wants? If I couldn't win against an opponent with a higher level of power, then so be it, although it's a fierce beast. However, taking the medicine to recover from my injuries, I, Wang Tao, haven't fallen to such a weak degree yet! Moreover, once I choose to take it, my Dao heart will have a flaw!"
Having figured out some problems, Wang Tao's mouth corners brought a smile, and he struggled to climb up! All were weak and exhausted, especially the several deep wounds that transmitted heart-wrenching pain. However, Wang Tao didn't hum out a sound, only his mouth corners slightly twitched.
"What's the intention of beheading today? Entrepreneurship is difficult and has fought many battles. From now on, we will recruit old troops at Quan Tai, and 100,000 flags will cut off Yan Luo!" With a determination to die without regret, Wang Tao stepped forward firmly with his Zou Huang Bu steps!
The wild dog, covered in bloodstains and crouching with its head raised, watched Wang Tao approach step by step, growling lowly in its throat!
"If you don't die today, I will!" With a loud shout, his single hand was already too weak to hold the knife, Wang Tao's two hands came together, and with a sudden burst of energy, he violently charged forward!
"Ugh! ~"
Feral dog's eyes flashed with a fierce glow, its entire body bursting forth with dark, ominous energy!
"Sacrifice!" King Tao exclaimed, his footsteps stumbling to a halt!
Sacrifice, this is a spell that every demon beast can do, but it happened on a fierce beast and made Wang Tao exclaim in surprise! But this was not the time for him to consider those things, he had to kill the wild dog-like fierce beast before it completed its sacrifice!
Offer a sacrifice, dedicating one's life force to the ancestors to gain temporary yet immense power! The power gained from offering sacrifices is generally determined by the amount of life force offered, but even the least among them can restore one's peak strength.
Although the gain is only a brief surge of power, and there's a risk of backlash after the decline, this is undoubtedly a lifesaving technique. Especially now, for Wang Tao, it's undoubtedly a disaster! So, absolutely cannot let the beast complete the sacrifice!
"Come and die!" Wang Tao felt the crisis approaching, his eyes turned blood red as he let out a loud roar, raised his knife and made a fierce slash, subconsciously using the first move of "Destiny Heaven's Blade".
A faint flash of the knife, but Wang Tao did not notice. The blade's sharp light flickered uncertainly, and the fierce slash landed on the expanding blood glow that had grown significantly in an instant!
"Rumble!"
Fierce power stirred up ripples in the air, and the wild dog beast was blown away with one strike. With no time to ponder why he possessed such great strength, Wang Tao stepped forward, closely pursuing the beast and striking again, his heart uneasy if he didn't thoroughly slay the wild dog beast!
The blood-colored light's defense was astonishing, and Wang Tao's several powerful slashes were all in vain, making the sense of crisis in his heart even stronger!
"If the previous blow could be used again, it would only take two more to break through the Blood Light! However..." Anxiety in his heart was useless, he could only try hard to recall how he did it just now, while continuing to attack!
The blood light flickered uncertainly, the sacrifice had reached its most critical moment, and was about to extract the life force of the wild dog ferocious beast!
"Previously it was a contest of true energy, just now it was a contest of physical strength, but now it's a contest of time!"
At the critical moment of sacrifice, there will be a very short period of time when the blood light disappears, and we must seize the opportunity and time! If failed, Wang Tao dare not imagine the consequences! In case the sacrifice is made after getting an even more powerful power than its strongest, Wang Tao will surely die! However, thinking about attacking and killing the ferocious beast with strong defense in that instant, Wang Tao's heart was even more uncertain, his face pale with a bitter smile, he did not expect things to develop to this extent.
"Hmm! ~Magnetic magnetic......"
Suddenly, sparks of electricity rubbed out in the air, and the humming sound heralded a kind of invisible force piercing through the endless mysterious space, pointing directly at the wild dog beast!
"Wah!"
The wild dog's pupils suddenly contracted, letting out a mournful howl, and its body convulsed violently!
"Has it started?" A unique and eerie aura suddenly appeared in the air, cold and sinister. Wang Tao knew that the extraction of life had begun, and his face turned serious and solemn as he stared at the blood-colored light, his eyes not daring to blink. He could clearly see that his forehead and palms were already sweating, obviously extremely tense, his whole body taut!
"In the instant after life is extinguished, the force of life is stripped away, and the blood light will pause for a moment. That's the only chance!" Wang Tao was already fully prepared, highly vigilant, fighting for that fleeting moment...
PS: Oh my, what's with these days? People getting married one after another, and I've received two wedding invitations already. Looks like I'll be spending a lot of money... Can everyone please give me some recommendations or collections to comfort my fragile heart?
