Vine Whip: Strangling, Deep Forest Emergence!
At the east gate of Heaven Dou City, smoke and dust, like the foul breath of a dying beast, carried with them gravel, wood chips, and an overwhelming stench of blood, weighed heavily on the hearts of every survivor.
The newly born, ten-thousand-year-old Iron-Armored Rock Rhino, a monster born from Blasphemous Divine Power, left a shockingly huge gap in the heavy city gate with its terrifying horn, which was covered with dark red metallic armor and flowed with pale gold patterns.
The shattered metal gate, twisted and deformed, hung precariously from the frame, creaking under its own weight, as if it might collapse completely at any moment.
"Roar--!!!"
The giant beast's crimson eyes Lock-On the panicked taxi drivers inside the barbican. With a sudden jerk of its massive head, the single horn, stained with fragments of the city gate, slammed into a section of the sturdy city wall made of bluestone with the ferocious force of a battering ram, carrying the momentum to crush everything in its path!
Stop it!
The city's defense commander shouted until his voice was hoarse and cracked.
Arrows rained down, clanging as they flew, but only left a few white marks on the dark red armor before being easily deflected.
Several Soul Master at the Soul Elder and Soul Ancestor levels gritted their teeth and activated their Soul Ring, unleashing a barrage of flames, Icicle Spear, and Wind Blade upon the behemoth.
However, that strange carapace and the pale gold Divine Power Markings flowing on it acted like the most solid barrier, directly annihilating and dispersing most of the attacking power. The few energies that could Infiltrator only caused the giant beast's massive body to sway slightly, which only further aroused its ferocity.
"Useless effort!"
Lin Xia's pupils contracted sharply. Every pulsation of the Divine Power Markings on the carapace seemed to be a silent mockery of the mortal's struggle.
He could clearly sense that the core of this behemoth's power was not its own Soul Power, but rather the Divine Power of Wrath that was like a parasitic armor, constantly Absorb upon some kind of violent source!
It's more like a living puppet that has been Sheer Force infused with power and driven by a bloodthirsty instinct!
At this critical moment, two figures, like shooting stars tearing through the dark sky, suddenly descended between the giant beast and the section of the city wall that was about to collapse!
Bibi Dong's figure was like frozen ice, her deep purple Pope robes remaining motionless amidst the turbulent air currents.
She didn't even glance at the roaring beast; instead, she raised her flawless hand and clenched her fists tightly in the direction the beast was charging!
Buzz--!
The space seemed to freeze and collapse in an instant!
A chilling, desolate aura silently spread. Centered on Bibi Dong's palm, a deep, dark purple light, like ink splashed on water, rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping the giant beast's massive head and its charging upper body!
"Rakshasa - Touch of Withering!"
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a sickening rustling sound, as if countless tiny lives were being drained and decaying in an instant.
The dark red metallic shell, which even Soul Skill could hardly shake, was instantly covered by the purple light. It was as if it had been splashed with an invisible strong acid, and it visibly lost its metallic luster, turning gray and dull!
The menacing pale gold Divine Power Markings on the surface of the carapace, like snow exposed to the scorching sun, emitted a sizzling sound, twisted and flickered violently, and the light dimmed rapidly!
"Aww--!!"
For the first time, the ancient Iron-Armored Rock Rhino let out a painful, terrified roar!
Its proud defenses proved so fragile in the face of the ultimate decay and corruption of the Rakshasa Divine Power!
The massive body convulsed and stiffened violently due to the excruciating pain and the backlash from the divine power, its forward momentum abruptly halted!
Just as this divine defense was Sheer Force Corrosion and weakened by the Rakshasa purple light!
A dazzling golden beam of light, like a spear of judgment, tore through the billowing smoke and purple light, shooting down with unparalleled precision!
Qian Renxue floated in the air, her enormous Angel Six Wings behind her fully extended, casting down holy light.
She gripped the Angel Holy Sword tightly with both hands, its tip aimed directly at the vital point of the giant beast's head, which was Corrosion by purple light and had its defenses greatly reduced!
Golden holy flames burned fiercely on the sword, illuminating her exquisite face as if a god had descended. Only her golden pupils burned with a cold, extreme rage against the desecration of creation!
"The Holy Sword of Judgment!"
The sword falls!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a dull sizzle, like a hot knife cutting into thick grease!
The Angel Holy Sword, imbued with Holy Purification and ultimate Sharpness, effortlessly sliced through the weakened point Corrosion by the Withered Purple Light, piercing the already gray and dark red carapace and penetrating deep into the incredibly hard skull of the Iron-Armored Rock Rhino!
Pfft--!
Dark red, almost black, foul blood, exuding a strong sulfurous and putrid odor, gushed out from the huge wound like a high-pressure fountain!
The golden holy flames burning on the Holy Sword seemed to have found the most filthy fuel, instantly spreading along the filthy blood, wildly Burn and purifying the violent and turbid Divine Power of Wrath within the giant beast's body!
"Roar--!!!"
The Iron-Armored Rock Rhino let out a deafening, deathly howl filled with extreme pain and resentment!
Its massive body, as if all its tendons and bones had been removed, crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, causing a violent earthquake!
The crimson giant eye quickly dimmed, and the last glimmer of its violent divine light was completely extinguished by the purification of the holy flames.
However, the fall of this behemoth brought no respite.
The massive breach in the city gate was like the opening of the gates of hell!
Countless mutated Soul Beast, each with its own unique form but all bearing dark red fur or carapace, flowing with pale gold Divine Power Markings, and with scarlet eyes, surged into the barbican like a turbid torrent that had burst its banks, trampling over the corpses of their companions and humans!
Low-ranking Tusked Hyena, incredibly fast Shadow Wolf, Poison Dart Frog spewing Corrosion venomous mist, and smaller but equally covered in dark red armored Iron-Armored Rhino cubs... they converged into a destructive wave, fearlessly rushing towards the remaining defenders!
The screams of soldiers, the roars of Soul Beast, the cracking of bones breaking, the rumble of collapsing buildings... all intertwined in an instant into a despairing symphony of death.
Lin Xia's face turned ashen. Looking at the Venusaur beside her, she didn't hesitate at all, and the two of them immediately used their moves!
"Vine Whip - Deep Forest Emergence - Strangulation!"
Rumble--!
The earth trembled violently!
The Plate inside the barbican were cracked inch by inch, and countless thick, tenacious vines, as thick as giant pythons, broke through the soil, frantically twisting, piercing, and whipping!
The vines shimmered with a vibrant green aura of life, carrying a powerful force of binding and Absorb.
The Mutated Beast Horde charging at the forefront were instantly swallowed up by the green wave. Vines Wrap grip, and sharp thorns pierced deep into the gaps in their carapaces, frantically drawing out the raging Divine Power of Wrath and Life Energy within them!
However, the results were far from what was expected!
The moment the vines came into contact with the pale golden Divine Power Markings on the bodies of those mutated Soul Beast, they emitted a sizzling sound and quickly turned gray and withered!
Although it temporarily halted the advance of the beast tide, the vines were being consumed at an alarming rate, and Lin Xia had to continuously pour in a massive amount of Soul Power to maintain them.
The mutated Soul Beast bound by the vines were having their life force Absorb at an unusually slow rate despite the resistance of the Divine Power Markings. They continued to struggle and bite frantically, their eyes filled with nothing but the desire for destruction!
