A white flash of a beam shot out, blasting onto the bloody light.
When the bloody light was slammed by the beam, it caused the Saint Emperor to be sent soaring a few thousand meters.
The beam had been largely dispersed by the protection covering Saint Emperor Xue Shi, thus, Yue Zhong had failed to obliterate him in one shot.
Even so, Xue Shi had been heavily injured by this sudden strike, and with his internal organs shaken, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At almost the same time, from the capital, a number of Laser Prism Cannons extended out and fired out at him under the control of Bai Yi.
Having just suffered that full-powered strike from Yue Zhong, Xue Shi was unable to extract himself from the net of lasers. However, the bloody protection covering his body was formed from the countless humans and Mutant Beasts he had killed, thus, it was incredibly resilient. When the beams struck it, they managed to shave off only a minor part of the shield, not destroying it fully.
"Amaterasu!! I will make sure you pay, you fucking traitor!!"
After forcefully blocking the first wave of attacks, Xue Shi's eyes flashed with a savage light. He disappeared in an instant, as the lasers blast thin air.
"So you are Yue Zhong? I had intended to assassinate you, who would have thought you to strike first. However, since you dare to send yourself to this Seat, I shall devour you and suck you dry of your lifeforce!!"
In the air, there was the cackling laughter of Xue Shi, as 8 body clones of his appeared around Yue Zhong, pouncing towards him.
This secret technique was called the Blood Clone, with each clone possessing a third of Xue Shi's original strength. At the same time, they could utilize his skills and abilities. It was not like any ordinary clone technique, where they would fall after one strike.
Furthermore, all clones were linked to Xue Shi in terms of their thoughts. If they acted together, they could handle a peak Type 6 expert with no problems.
When they got close, Yue Zhong's mind whirred and controlled the huge mechanical arm of the Scarlet Reaper, condensing a God-Devil Flame out of thin air, spreading it outward.
The 8 blood clones were truly mysterious as well, even when slashed with blades, or shot with cannons, or blasted apart, they could still congeal back together, as though immortal. They might be constantly hit and assaulted, but in the end, it would just wear down their opponents' strength, before they went to suck them dry.
Saint Emperor Xue Shi was an old Ancestor of the Saint Clan, the peak devilish existence within their clan. All those years back, when he had led the Saint Clan to defeat the human race and gained dominion over the 2nd World, his fleshy body might not be comparable to the Dino-Race, but he had many profound and mysterious skills. If he were to fight against a similar-realm expert, through his skills and abilities, it was possible to toy with a peak Type-6 Dino-Warrior.
Unfortunately, the God-Devil Flame Yue Zhong had was precisely the bane of these Blood Clones. The moment they came in contact with the ever-burning fire, there was sizzling sounds as they started to be burnt.
The 8 Blood Clones screamed out and retreated backward, before combining back into the Saint Emperor Xue Shi.
By this time, Xue Shi's entire body was charred black, with blood dripping out the corner of his mouth, "Good! Good! Good! Yue Zhong, you're truly capable, using this enhanced armor to exhibit such a strength!! However, in the end, you won't be my match! You can surrender to me now!! If you do, I will allow you to be the human-equivalent of myself, enjoying riches and power!!"
Yue Zhong revealed a moved expression, "Oh! Really?"
At this time, another bout of laser beams shot out from below, blasting the Saint Emperor, causing the shield of protection around him to lose another layer.
Xue Shi blocked the attack while roaring, "Yue Zhong if you do intend to submit, stop your assault. We can discuss this, I can give you better conditions."
Yue Zhong dragged out his reply, "Wait a minute, let me consider."
The blood protection of Xue Shi was too tough to deal with. Unless Yue Zhong was able to trap him and use his God-Devil Flames to incinerate, he could only rely on such tactics to wear it down.
Xue Shi shouted, "You're not stopping at all!! There's no intention to submit, you're pretending to think while wearing down my strength, you think I'm stupid?"
"What? I just want to consider our relationship."
Yue Zhong glanced at him, before suddenly releasing the chest flap of the Scarlet Reaper. Countless laser beams that could penetrate the skulls of the L5s fired out at Xue Shi.
The multiple laser beams seemed to congeal into a large, terrifying pillar, slamming into the blood protection of Xue Shi.
With Yue Zhong's Type 6 realm piloting the Scarlet Reaper, the might of the beam was not too be underestimated. Even if a huge aircraft carrier were here, it would be blasted apart. And yet, the blood protection of the Saint Emperor took it all on.
However, the shield was losing its luster and finally disintegrated under the fierce assault.
"Haha! Yue Zhong, you've been tricked." All of a sudden, Xue Shi revealed a strange smile.
An incredible sense of crisis welled up in Yue Zhong's mind. He trusted his senses as he controlled the Scarlet Reaper to exert its maximum speed as he evaded to the side.
Suddenly, without any warning, a sharp blade slashed down out of the void, slicing the Scarlet Reaper into two.
Although Yue Zhong had dodged just barely, he was still struck by that blade, losing his right arm and right leg, as light-gold blood flowed from him. He grimaced in intense pain, as the blood continued to flow.
"Stealth!! His Stealth is so perfect that my perception could not even reveal it?! He was even moving!!" Yue Zhong was shaken by that strike from Xue Shi, and the shock surpassed his pain.
After reaching the Type 6 realm, his senses had reached another level. He could even tell the movement of an ant within a 1,000 sqm. If a same-realm opponent was to use Stealth within his perception range, with the slightest motion, he would be able to sense. He had never imagined missing the Saint Emperor.
Having sliced off the right arm and right leg of Yue Zhong, Xue Shi kept up the intensity of the attack, slashing towards his head.
A strong sense of death filled up Yue Zhong's mind. With countless tactics flashing by his mind, he quickly caused the precious Blood Honey in his possession to explode out in all directions.
Although Xue Shi could retract all signs and aura, hiding from Yue Zhong's perception, he could not erase himself entirely from the plane of existence. He moved slightly but was struck by the blood, revealing his location.
"What a disgusting stealth armor!!"
Only now, Yue Zhong discovered that Xue Shi was wearing a strange armor. It constantly shifted in an illusionary state, other than the areas which had been stained by the blood, the rest was practically non-existent. Even though he knew that there was something there, his perception could not pick it up.
"Smart. What a pity Yue Zhong, no matter how cunning you are, today will be your death date!!" Even though his position was revealed, Xue Shi did not seem to mind it, as he cackled evilly, his expression maniacal.
Currently, Yue Zhong's trump card, the Scarlet Reaper, had already been sliced in two, and he was heavily injured. Having lost an arm and a leg, it was tough to even flee. That was the reason for the glee of Xue Shi.
Once he killed Yue Zhong, newly-formed China would split apart, and the survivors would then become the food for the zombies and Saint Clan.
"Can you spare me then?" Yue Zhong looked at the nearing Saint Emperor, his face pale, as he trembled uncontrollably, a look of despair on his face.
Xue Shi laughed out excitedly, without any intention to stop. He swung his blade down towards Yue Zhong, "Haha!! It's too late to plead now!!"
"Yin Shuang, now!!"
At that critical moment, Yue Zhong suddenly bellowed and disappeared from his location, flashing to about 20m away.
A white figure suddenly appeared as a pale fist smashed into the body of Xue Shi.
Struck by that fist, Xue Shi's bones broke as he spat out a mouthful of blood while tumbling through the sky.
That figure was precisely Yin Shuang, who had evolved in a rapid manner after consuming the treasure from the lake, She had already reached the high-Type 6 realm.
Under that sudden sneak attack, the present injuries of the Saint Emperor were further aggravated, causing his abilities to plunge by 60%.
