Chapter 245 – Joyful One-Two

　　”Oh?

　　Your aura has suddenly become so strong, how surprising!

　　That loser Old Taotie, he should be half-ruined by now, right?”

　　Facing Tuoba Hong’s mockery, Xu Yang only snorted coldly, “You know what?

　　When you uttered those words, your end was already predetermined.

　　Daring to insult my partner, you must pay the price.”

　　”Puhahaha ……

　　Partner?

　　I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?

　　But it’s just that you fought side by side for a while, you really know how to put gold on your own face, that old thing, even though it’s about to be reduced to my food, at least it’s at the level of an Ancestral Beast of the Flood Spirit Species, you’re just a mere mole, and you’re accompanying to call yourself a brother and brother with him?”

　　Xu Yang wanted to laugh a little.

　　Because he realized that until now, Tuoba Hong was still delusional about devouring the Taotie Inner Dan.

　　”Hehe, Brother Tuoba, if you still harbor such thoughts, then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

　　Xu Yang’s mind moved, a light green light appeared in the center of his forehead, and the Taotie’s huge silhouette instantly manifested from behind Xu Yang, its horrifying hiss shook the entire illusionary space, and even more so, it stomped hard on Tuoba Hong’s heart.

　　”Son of a bitch!

　　You’d rather sacrifice to Xu Yang than contribute your inner dan?

　　Is this the majesty of your Flood Grade Ancestral Beast?

　　Sacrificing to a mere human, don’t you feel pathetic as well?”

　　Taotie laughed coldly, “Even if we don’t talk about friendship, all I know is that there is meat to eat if I follow Xu Yang, and as long as he doesn’t die, he can keep me from dying.

　　Can’t you figure out such a simple reason?

　　Idiot, you’ll soon be crushed!”

　　Tuoba Hong was already completely furious.

　　Taotie’s sacrifice meant that he would no longer have any chance of obtaining the inner elixir, and even if he was able to destroy Xu Yang, half of the Taotie’s life after the sacrifice had already been integrated into Xu Yang’s bloodline, and it would simply be impossible for him to be utilized by Tuoba Hong again.

　　It could be said that the moment the Taotie sacrifice was successfully completed, Tuoba Hong’s plot had already failed.

　　The only thing he had to do now was to kill everyone around Xu Yang, including Xu Yang himself.

　　”The Taotie Inner Dan is no longer obtainable.

　　Although I can’t inherit the power of the Dragon Origin, I have a way to turn him into my true puppet, and with a puppet carrying a complete Dragon Origin by my side, I can likewise do whatever I want!

　　Xu Yang, die!”

　　Tuoba Hong roared in his full fury, a morose green skeleton silhouette quickly coalesced in his palm, and Ghost Shura’s empty eyes were instantly lit up as he rushed towards Xu Yang under Tuoba Hong’s control.

　　”You go back and rest first, I’ll take care of it myself.

　　Don’t get involved in the battle until I help you completely repair your injuries.”

　　Xu Yang very thoughtfully took Taotie back into his body, which really made this old fellow look confused, but in his heart, Taotie was still very warm, because it knew that it had picked the most correct target for this sacrifice.

　　”Come on!

　　!”

　　Xu Yang’s battle intent completely burned up as he took the initiative to rush towards the Ghost Shadow Shura, whose strength was kept at the great circle of the Divine Infant Realm at the moment.

　　Extreme speed constantly flashed out, and the Ghost Shadow Shura’s dagger heavily stabbed at Xu Yang’s flesh, his speed genuinely so fast that it was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

　　Unfortunately, the moment his dagger plunged into Xu Yang’s body, it actually failed to even break through his Guardian Deity.

　　”What!

　　! To, to not be so powerful?

　　?”

　　Long Kun and the others who were in a state of watching the battle were completely confused.

　　They knew how powerful Xu Yang was, but purely in terms of defense, Long Kun’s Xuanwu Zhen Gong should be above Xu Yang.

　　But now, Xu Yang was able to completely rely on his physical body to harden himself against a strike from an assassin of the Divine Infant Great Circle Realm, which was a bit too terrifying.

　　”It seems that the Taotie Sacrifice’s increase in both offense and defense for the Boss is too shocking, such physical strength, used in conjunction with the Devouring’s natural instincts, even if he doesn’t have the power to attack, it will still allow him to be undefeated!”

　　The hearts of the crowd were greatly energized, seeing Xu Yang as powerful as he was, all of them were very excited, and the Empress was even nodding her head in delight.

　　”Hmph, your speed is indeed very fast, unfortunately, right now, you don’t have any chance of resisting in front of me.”

　　Xu Yang violently probed his hand and grabbed it, and in Ghost Shadow Cultivator’s eyes, a trace of panic unexpectedly flowed out!

　　One must know that at this moment, he was being controlled by Tuoba Hong’s soul, and had almost no autonomous consciousness, this fear was purely an instinctive wariness of absolute power!

　　Xu Yang just grabbed the flesh of Ghost Shadow Shura’s dual-body fusion and slapped it out, and his entire body flew out hundreds of meters horizontally like a broken sack, falling heavily on the ground.

　　”My god ……

　　This is also too brutal, right?

　　Coming straight into a close combat, it’s actually possible to crush a top assassin?”

　　Long Kun and the others sucked in a mouthful of cool air, and that girl, Little Tuan Duan, was even more shocked as she rubbed her eyes one after another, full of unbelievable surprise looks.

　　To know, Xu Yang in their eyes, is never the positioning of that kind of close-quarters warrior-type cultivator, is definitely the positioning of the back row brittle skin.

　　But when a cultivator with a strong offensive ability suddenly became incomparably resistant, it would definitely be a nightmare for the opponent.

　　Tuoba Hong had a shocked look on his face, and when he saw his strongest puppet was so unbeatable, his heart sank a few points.

　　”Damn!

　　You really did inherit a lot of benefits, Xu Yang, you took away what should have belonged to me, I want you to double it back!”

　　Tuoba Hong rushed up in the air in a vain attempt to perform the Loxian Gate again, yet this time Xu Yang did not let him have his way.

　　”The same trick, in front of me, you don’t have the possibility to use it a second time.

　　This time, I will crush all of you!”

　　Xu Yang said coldly as the Eternal Divine Sword flew out in a smooth motion.

　　Tuoba Hong smiled grimly and was about to flee when he suddenly realized that his position in the void was suddenly tightened, just like the feeling of being locked by the Taotie’s devouring power before, his stance was greatly restricted.

　　”Want to escape?

　　It’s not that easy!”

　　The Eternal Divine Artifact combined with the confining ability of the Devouring Talent erupted perfectly, and Tuoba Hong was so shocked that he knew he couldn’t avoid it, so he could only turn back and choose to carry this strike with a hard head, however, the price he had to pay was also quite huge.

　　Clang!

　　! The hard armor of the Octopus Bug Emperor was blasted to death by the Eternal Divine Sword, a layer of cracks was born on the surface of the armor, and a painful scream came out from the Sacrificial Demonic Beast itself, which also forced Tuoba Hong to spray a mouthful of blood.

　　”Good, good strong power ……,” Xu Yang ghost-like landed in front of Tuoba Hong, devouring instincts come with a strong adsorption force, let Tuoba Hong feel an unprecedented pressure descending.

　　The only regret of this sacrifice was that Xu Yang failed to inherit the Taotie’s gray domain.

　　Originally, Xu Yang didn’t dare to hope that he could inherit Devouring, but only hoped to get the inheritance of Domain Power, which turned out to be just the opposite, getting the strongest natural instinct.

　　Domain power was actually not considered a human cultivator’s own strength category, but it could play a very obvious supporting role in actual combat.
