Chapter 184: A Prodigy of Great Purity
Feeling the bond of the Companion Beast Contract snap abruptly, the Golden Ripple Xi's eyes became bloodshot, its gaze utterly crazed.
Although it knew this battle was only a Strife trial, watching Shen Qiong, with whom it spent every day, die horribly before its eyes instantly snapped the string of reason in its heart.
Yet even with its fury towering to the heavens, the Golden Ripple Xi still retained a measure of reason.
That golden fish-dragon's might was overwhelmingly domineering. Even if it unleashed Metal-Water Spatial Escape, it had no confidence it could kill the creature.
The Golden Ripple Xi chose to seize its chance and repay tooth for tooth, taking the enemy cultivator with the weakest body down with it before it fell in defeat.
"Moo!"
The Golden Ripple Xi exhaled through its nostrils and unleashed Metal-Water Spatial Escape. The Dark Abyssal Gold Needle held in its mouth immediately shuddered violently and vanished, shifting into Chen Beiwu's body and exploding inside his lungs and kidneys.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Panic appeared on Chen Beiwu's face. Countless weblike golden lines burst across his skin, and he spat out a golden-blue mist of blood mixed with fragments of his organs.
"Moo!" (I won!)
At this sight, the corners of the Golden Ripple Xi's mouth lifted slightly.
Although they had lost this contest, at least both sides had suffered grievously.
With the Dark Abyssal Gold Needle piercing his organs and flesh, and the Golden Baleful Water Poison breaking down his magic, corroding his body, and stealing his soul, its opponent was certain to die.
The Golden Ripple Xi's only regret was that it would not see its opponent's wretched state before death.
At that thought, the Golden Ripple Xi swayed and sank to its knees.
