Chapter 73

Fighting the River God

The screams that Hanzawa Hidefumi let out were extremely agonizing.

Anyone who hears this will get goosebumps.

Yamamoto Misao was also startled by the sound. He subconsciously urged his Blood Fiend to extinguish the crimson flames burning on the blood-red katana, using a method that had always worked.

Little did he know that his action would only add fuel to the fire.

The massive surge of blood energy caused the crimson flames to ignite instantly.

Crimson flames swept up along the blood-red katana, and even set Yamamoto Misao's blood-armored giant ablaze!

"what!"

The Blood Armor Giant and Yamamoto Misao felt the same way; the flames burning up felt like being shoved into a high-temperature oven, and the searing pain instantly contorted their faces.

The screams that erupted from the two barbarians left Okabayashi Saeko bewildered and uncertain.

However, his thinking was very clear. Instead of backing down, he used his River God's Demonic Power to unleash a huge wave of blood, forcing Xiao Qing to retreat again and again.

"Yamamoto-kun, run away quickly!" (in Mandarin).

After forcing Xiaoqing away, Okabayashi Saeko yelled at Yamamoto Misao.

Yamamoto Misao hurriedly retreated towards Okabayashi Saeko, shouting as he fled.

"Yongzi, think of something quickly! This fire is strange; it ignites upon encountering 'divine power'!" (in a barbarian language).

In the time it took to speak, Yamamoto Misao's blood-armored giant had already burned into a huge fireball and was about to be destroyed.

"Yamamoto, quickly withdraw your divine power and send the 'god' away!" (in Mandarin).

Upon hearing this, Okabayashi Saeko immediately thought of a solution and hurriedly called out to Yamamoto Misao.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Misao, who was almost roasted alive, suddenly realized what was happening. He immediately cut off the blood energy supply and sent the blood-armored giant outside his body back inside.

As soon as the blood-armored giant disappeared, the crimson flames that had been hovering around the blood armor lost their anchor and quickly diminished and vanished.

Yamamoto Misao had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had a chance to thank Okabayashi Saeko.

A puff of frosty white mist suddenly sprayed down from the top of his head.

The fog arrived quickly and suddenly, enveloping Yamamoto Misao, who had narrowly escaped death.

Frost spread rapidly across Yamamoto Misao's body, freezing him into a four-foot-tall humanoid block of ice in the blink of an eye.

Xiaoqing's figure emerged from above Yamamoto Misao's head, and with a flick of her giant blue tail, she lashed out at the frozen Yamamoto Misao!

"Yamamoto-kun!" (barbaric language).

Okabayashi Saeko watched helplessly as Yamamoto Misao was frozen into a block of ice, and then struck by that second-tier blue snake!

"Bang!"

A crisp cracking sound.

Yamamoto Misao was crushed on the spot by the little green snake's tail, just like a frozen cookie!

Xiaoqing was overjoyed at her successful attack.

It immediately sent the good news to Xu Yunxin through telepathic connection.

"Hiss~ Young Master, Xiao Qing has smashed one~ Hiss~"

Xu Yunxin held Hanzawa Hidefumi in his hand, his mind focused on the battlefield.

Seeing that Xiaoqing had succeeded, but the system had not detected the source, it immediately told Xiaoqing to hide and become invisible.

Xiaoqing obediently concealed herself.

Then, specks of blood-red light suddenly emerged from the shattered ice shards. As soon as these blood-red lights appeared, they scattered in all directions, rushing towards the few remaining "archer foot soldiers" around the battlefield.

Without Xu Yunxin's reminder, Xiaoqing preemptively absorbed two "bow stance foot soldiers" and killed them.

But those crimson rays were very fast, and one of them still managed to rush into the body of a "foot-light" before Xiao Qing could.

After the blood-red light entered his body, the "Foot Light Footman's" eyes immediately turned red. Although his appearance remained the same, his aura had completely changed.

He swiftly drew a dagger from his waist, slashed it across his forehead, and summoned a thin, crimson armor to cover his body.

After donning the crimson armor, the "foot soldier" turned and fled towards Okabayashi Saeko.

"Eiko-kun, help me!" (in Mandarin).

Before Okabayashi Saeko could reply, a blue snake tail suddenly appeared again, whipping the "foot soldier" away.

On the other side, Xu Yunxin's transformed crimson-gold giant hand covered Hanzawa Hidefumi, and in just a breath and a half, he received a system notification.

After absorbing a crimson essence, he released his palm, and Hanzawa Hidefumi and his black-haired familiar were completely destroyed.

The giant crimson palm, now transformed, was wreathed in crimson flames. The crimson gold Buddha tree suddenly grew to half a zhang in size, and the giant crimson gold palm reached out and grabbed the "Foot Lightness" that Xiao Qing had pulled out.

Xu Yunxin exerted a fierce force, and his crimson gold giant palm directly crushed the "footed warrior" into a meat patty.

The crimson flames on the palm turned the meat pie to white ash.

The second crimson essence entered the tent.

Upon seeing this, Okabayashi Saneko suddenly screamed "Ah!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The five words spoken by Okabayashi Saeko were actually the common language of the Immortal Dynasty!

Immediately afterwards, Okabayashi Sayoko raised her arms and pounded them hard on her chest.

With this strike, he spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which landed directly on the river god's messenger in front of him.

"Big! Big! Big!"

Nourished by this essence of blood, the river spirit in front of Okabayashi Saeko grew rapidly as if it had been inflated.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying giant god over three zhang tall!

In the blink of an eye, the ugly-looking river god's messenger actually looked somewhat "divine"!

After the river god made the ghost grow larger, the blood pool on its head also turned into a blood pool, where thick blood and evil energy bubbled and gurgled.

"roar!"

The river god made a strange cry, and with a flick of its head, its long, sharp beak pecked at the giant crimson tree that Xu Yunxin had transformed into!

"Compare in size?"

A flash of azure-gold light appeared on Xu Yunxin's body, and the tree trunk, which was over three zhang tall, suddenly grew larger, soaring to over four zhang tall and as thick as a person could hug!

The tree trunk, covered in layers of crimson and gilded wood grain, resembled a thick suit of crimson and gilded dragon armor.

The bird's beak, which the river god had brought down with tremendous force, was like striking steel with a fingernail; it only produced a dull thud and didn't even produce a spark.

Instead, it made the river god's head buzz, and the blood pool above his head splashed up huge waves, which then poured onto the Crimson Gold Buddha Tree!

"Break the law!"

Okabayashi Saneko stared intently at the scene, letting out a scream. Even the fingers gripping the shrine twisted and turned white from the excessive force!

Unfortunately, like Aoi Niuji, Okabayashi Saeko made a fatal mistake.

They all thought that the golden Buddha tree that Xu Yunxin had created was a magic spell or a talisman.

Any spell or talisman will inevitably be tainted by bloodlust.

If he can break this spell, he will still have a chance to live!

But sometimes, ignorance can be deadly!

Rolling waves of blood splashed onto the golden Buddha tree.

It's as unsightly as paint splashed on a golden pillar.

That's it.

Okabayashi Saneko was stunned.

Xu Yunxin raised his two giant hands and slapped them down on the River God's Messenger's forehead with a "smack".

This palm strike caused the River God's messenger to bend at the knees, and the blood from the pool on his forehead splattered and flowed down his head.

Immediately afterwards, the crimson flames burning on the giant golden palm ignited the blood pool on the river god's head, instantly turning the river god's messenger into a giant torch more than three zhang tall.
