Battle Again!

"Finally out!"

After crossing a large gate, Gu Ding finally saw the giant tower of the Heavenly Dao that he had seen at the beginning again, and felt a surge of relief.

After putting down Hake, which he had been carrying on his shoulder, Gu Ding sat cross-legged on the spot.

"Twenty-nine days have passed, and I finally managed to break through before the January deadline! The labyrinths inside this giant tower are truly endless."

After twenty-nine days, Gu Ding overcame nine mazes before finally stepping out of the giant tower. Fortunately, he also successfully found Hake.

Looking at Hake, who was covered in wounds, he gave a bitter smile.

"Fortunately, this is just Dream World. If Hake had been injured like this in the Real World, it would probably have taken a lot of effort to heal him."

After a day of waiting, the time agreed upon with Beika finally arrived, and Gu Ding anxiously awaited Beika's arrival.

Meanwhile, Beika once again entered Hake's Dream World.

After passing through layer after layer of Dream World, Beika arrived at the Sixth Layer of the Dream World in not much time.

Gu Ding sensed his arrival as soon as he arrived.

With Gu Ding's Combat Strength, there was no need for him to worry about the Dees Family Elder Council in this Dream World. His soul perception was always active, so he sensed Beika's arrival in this world immediately.

Just as Beika figured out the direction and prepared to move towards the location of the giant tower, Gu Ding appeared, smiling as he walked towards him, carrying a man on his shoulder.

"Is that Hake?" Beika guessed the identity of the man on Gu Ding's shoulder from his expression.

Looking up at Hake, he was speechless. "These injuries on his body..."

"He had a weapon on him, so I couldn't subdue him. I could only knock him unconscious," Gu Ding said, putting Hake down. "Most of his consciousness has been taken over by that dagger. What should we do now?"

"You are currently existing as a Will Projection. What the projection of the Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade's Will Projection can do, you can also do. Now you just need to directly enter Hake's body, use Hake's Soul Space as the battlefield, and kill the Will Projection of the Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade's will."

"But there are a few things you should pay attention to after the kill."

"First, we must ensure that the Will Projection is completely destroyed, because even a tiny bit has escaped. After I awaken Hake, the Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade will be able to locate Hake's position. At that point, we will all be wiped out."

"Second, we must not cause catastrophic damage to Hake's Soul Space. Once the Soul Space collapses, Hake's soul will also dissipate and he will die."

"Third, we must protect Hake's ego. Once his ego is damaged, even if I awaken him later, he will never be the same Hake again."

"You must remember these three points after you enter, especially the first one. If you ignore it, it will cause a devastating disaster." After explaining these three points, Beika emphasized them repeatedly.

"I understand." Gu Ding also knew that Beika's three requests were not just casual remarks, but things he had to do.

The Will Projection quickly turned into a wisp of smoke, which entered Hake's body through his mouth and nose.

Within Hake's Soul Space, Gu Ding's Will Projection will quickly reformed.

In this Soul Space, more than 80 percent of the sky has been dyed blood red.

"Hake! I've come in to find you!" Gu Ding's loud shout echoed, and his groan quickly followed.

He shouted that for two reasons: first, to let Hake know that he had come to rescue him; and second, to attract the Will Projection of the Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade's will.

Once the Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade realizes it has entered this Soul Space, it has only two choices: fight or escape from Hake's body.

Because everyone's Soul Space is limited, no matter where it is hidden, it will eventually be found.

The Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade, being a powerful Main God Artifact, naturally wouldn't allow anyone else to seize the body it had chosen. Therefore, the chances of its Will Projection will escaping are slim; it will almost certainly choose to fight.

Gu Ding quickly sensed the strange energy fluctuations emanating from him. "Come out. There's no need to hide in the shadows and spy anymore. If you want to take over this body, your only choice is to fight me. If you win, this body will naturally be yours. But if you lose, I will have no choice but to completely expel you."

A figure slowly emerged from the dark space not far away.

The figure gradually became clearer under the light, bearing a striking resemblance to Hake, dressed entirely in black. Its eyes were pure black, and its gaze seemed completely inhuman. As it tilted its head to examine Gu Ding, it uttered strange mutterings that didn't sound like human language.

"Even if you don't understand what I'm saying, you should know what I mean, right?" Gu Ding grinned. He had been worried that the other party might escape, which would expand the battlefield and cause even greater damage to Hake's Soul Space.

Gu Ding's appearance did indeed anger the Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade. He was like a powerful beast, ruling over a territory, but now someone had trespassed into his domain. Without the intruder even needing to speak, his instincts told him the solution—tear the intruder to shreds!

Even the fiercest beasts will carefully assess the strength of their prey before hunting.

His quick assessment of Gu Ding quickly revealed that the opponent was extremely powerful, perhaps even stronger than himself. However, no matter how strong the opponent, he knew he had to protect his own territory, so he chose to fight and launched a preemptive attack.

In a flash, the black-clad Hake appeared behind Gu Ding. As the Main God Artifact, and having been worshipped by the Dees Family for many years, he was intimately familiar with almost all of the Dees Family's assassination techniques, and his attack style was the same as that of the Dees Family.

Gu Ding had anticipated this, having fought Hake before when he captured him, and was familiar with his attack patterns.

Almost at the same time that Black Hake flashed into existence, Gu Ding turned back and lunged at his opponent's throat with a pair of pincers.

Having failed to land his first attack, Black-Clad Hake was sent flying backward, and his entire figure began to fade and become transparent.

"Do you think this method will work?" Gu Ding suddenly leaped up and sped off in the opposite direction from where Hake had disappeared...

"Boom!" A punch shot out into the void, sending a figure flying backward in a disheveled state. (To be continued~^~)
