Gu Ding Goes Berserk
Gu Ding looked up at the battle circle where Elsa was. He could barely see Elsa and Iron Tower; he only saw two dark figures colliding rapidly and then separating just as quickly. Each collision produced a piercing explosion, a sound like metal clashing, yet with a thunderous roar. After each explosion, a violent shockwave rippled through the air.
Gu Ding only knew that the battle between the two had reached a stalemate; he couldn't see the deeper aspects of the fight.
"Currently, Elsa seems to have the upper hand; her opponent has virtually no chance to retaliate. However, that guy called Iron Tower likely possesses defensive abilities. Despite Elsa's fierce attacks, he's only suffered minor cuts and bruises. Elsa's attacks can barely break through his defenses, and it's unlikely she can inflict a fatal wound. Continuing this will be very disadvantageous for Elsa. Her power-up has a time limit. If her opponent can withstand this period, she will undoubtedly lose." The Sea Emperor then explained in detail, "And judging from the current situation, there's a high probability that this guy called Iron Tower can withstand Elsa's power-up period."
Gu Ding knew that the Sea Emperor's words were not unfounded, but he had originally intended to reserve his sealing ability for the Poison Master to avenge the time this guy had poisoned Liliath. He immediately turned his gaze to where Tagore was.
Tagore's figure flickered repeatedly, and streams of colorless energy rippled out with the swing of his claws, tearing black spatial rifts in the void, like black scythes that devoured anything they encountered, slicing towards the direction of the Poison Master.
The Poison Master dared not let this terrifying attack get close. He tried every possible way to dodge, lacking even the courage to block it. The attack's effect was truly horrifying, tearing a gap in space itself. His own all-out attack could only create a spatial rift, less than one ten-thousandth the size of this gap. He knew that even with his strong defenses, if struck by such an attack, he would likely be cut in two. Moreover, he had never focused on Body Cultivation, nor had he ever deliberately tried to improve his physical strength.
"Tagore's performance was quite good." The Sea Emperor couldn't help but praise him. "If you want to use your sealing ability against Poison Master, you can have Tagore choose a different opponent."
With his long-standing understanding of Gu Ding, Sea Emperor could probably guess why Gu Ding didn't directly take over Elsa's battle, but instead focused his attention on the battleground where the Poison Master was.
"Tagore, leave that guy to me, you go help Elsa." After hearing what the Sea Emperor Gu Ding, Guding nodded and shouted to Tagore.
Gu Ding's words surprised many people.
Most of the people present were invited by Camilla. They were all quite strong, many possessing gene forms of rank ten or higher. These people were familiar with the Dark Magic Domain's team work model: two people per team, one as the main member and one as the assistant. Usually, the person in charge of the task was stronger than the assistant. Of the two who came this time, the Poison Master was clearly in charge of the task, because the other guy, named Iron Tower, hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end.
Gu Ding was actually going to challenge a member of the Dark Magic Domain alone. And it was one of the stronger ones, which surprised many people. Most of them had seen Gu Ding 'Gu Ding battle videos from a few days ago. His fight with Yalo showed him to be at most equivalent to a beginner Eleventh Order Combat Strength, while his opponent in the Dark Magic Domain was a Twelfth Order Peak powerhouse. Many people wondered if Gu Ding had just had too much to drink.
When Tagore heard Gu Ding shout those words at him, he was momentarily stunned. But he still swung his claw, tearing five more cracks in the air. Like five scythes of death, they slashed madly towards the Poison Master.
The Poison Master frantically dodged, the cat's attack imbued with a strange spatial power that he couldn't avoid. He didn't know if he could block it, but he dared not try. Because spatial power was exceptionally strong, a slight misstep could mean a fatal severing at the waist.
After unleashing this claw strike, Tagore vanished without warning, only to reappear once he was already engaged in battle with Elsa and the Iron Tower.
He suddenly appeared beside Iron Tower, and with a seemingly casual swipe of his claw, Iron Tower had no time to dodge and could only raise his right arm to block. Five colorless ripples spread out, tearing five black gashes in the void, which instantly struck Iron Tower's arm. In a split second, several spurts of blood gushed out, and Iron Tower was immediately sent flying backward; his right arm had been severed into several pieces. The severed hand landed in a soup bowl on the table below, and the soup, which had originally had a slight reddish tinge of seasoning, turned completely blood red.
Because they were fighting so fast, the latest developments were only known to the crowd when the Iron Tower's severed arm fell to the ground.
The few Twelfth-Order Gene Body and Eleventh Order peak gene beings present at the banquet witnessed this scene. With their eyesight, they could all catch the movements of Iron Tower and the others. When they saw Iron Tower's arm being severed without any resistance, a chill ran down their spines.
Camilla and others were acutely aware of what would happen if the cat attacked them.
Iron Tower was a Twelfth Order Peak expert, and judging from his previous battle with Elsa, his defense was definitely much stronger than that of an average Twelfth Order Peak expert, yet this situation arose in an instant. This made everyone realize Tagore's strength.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle, Gu Ding slowly stepped forward. He activated the tenth level of Limitless Body Technique at full power, and instantly also activated Level 3 Berserk and Advanced Iron Block.
The Poison Master glanced at the battle circle where the Iron Tower was, a chill running down his spine, but he still forced a smile. "Looks like that little girl's Combat Strength- up is almost over. To be honest, Gu Ding, you've really given us quite a few surprises, two new members with Twelfth Order Combat Strength. However, if you think you can help them buy time, you're being too naive..."
Before the Poison Master's voice had even faded, he had already appeared in front of Gu Ding, his movements as swift as a ghost. He grabbed Gu Ding by the neck with one hand. This scene caused Liliath and Bigge to frown deeply, and many others sighed inwardly. The Combat Strength Twelfth Order warrior was indeed overwhelming. Even though Gu Ding could defeat the Eleventh Order Yalo, he was still as fragile as a domestic fowl in front of a Twelfth Order expert.
"With just a little force, your head will be separated from your body," the Poison Master grinned menacingly. "Now, make that cat and that little girl stop and hand over Liliath."
Camilla frowned slightly. She wanted to intervene, but she was worried that the Poison Master would snap Gu Ding's neck.
"I think you've misunderstood something." Gu Ding suddenly grinned. "Now it's not you who decides my fate, but me who decides yours!"
As Gu Ding spoke, he grabbed the Poison Master's wrist with one hand. Everyone heard a cracking sound of bones breaking, and then the Poison Master clutched his right hand and cried out in pain, "How could this happen? My power... What did you do to me?"
Only then did he realize that he had lost all his power and become an ordinary person, a feeling that was a thousand times more painful than losing his arm.
"It seems you really haven't done your homework. Didn't you know I have Taboo Power before you chased after me?" Gu Ding's words left everyone present completely stunned.
Taboo Power is the power that enables First Order Gene Body to Godslayer. If a person possesses Taboo Power and does not die young, becoming a god is almost inevitable, and once they become a god, they will immediately possess super Combat Strength that surpasses that of ordinary gods.
Camilla was also completely stunned. Only now did she understand why that important figure had taken such good care of Gu Ding. This peerless prodigy with Taboo Power, if he didn't die young, would definitely have the strength to become a king in the Universe Sea and a hegemon there.
"Taboo Power of sealing..." The Poison Master gasped. This meant that the opponent could even seal gods, let alone himself. But he immediately thought of the limitations of this ability. "This kind of sealing should have a time limit?"
"Time limit? Long enough for the moment you die!" Gu Ding said, gripping his left arm. "That last stab was just revenge for you trying to snap my neck. This one is revenge for poisoning Lily before!"
Then everyone heard another crisp cracking sound; Gu Ding had broken the Poison Master's left hand.
The sealed Poison Master has become an ordinary person, but he is still tough. The pain of his shattered bones only made him let out a few cold snorts.
Gu Ding had no intention of ending it there. He raised his foot and crushed the Poison Master's left kneecap.
"Ah..." This time, the Poison Master finally cried out in pain, panting heavily.
"This is for those you have killed and hurt!" Gu Ding's gaze was as cold as a frozen pool that had been sealed for ten thousand years.
The Poison Master could barely stand, but he remained defiant, saying, "You brat, your methods of torturing people are still too green."
"Is that so?" Gu Ding was somewhat sinister. He released his grip, and the other person fell to the ground. "Then I'm too lazy to torture you anymore. Die!"
As Gu Ding spoke, he stomped his foot hard on the Poison Master's chest. A terrifying force instantly shattered all the bones in the Poison Master's chest cavity and crushed his heart. "This is for the Dark Magic Domain. No matter who you send, they will only face this one outcome!!!"
No one present had anticipated such an outcome; a powerful figure from the Dark Magic Domain was brutally killed by Gu Ding in just a few minutes.
