Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 662 – Killing A High

A faint light was released from the bodies of Ou Yangming and Big Yellow; it was the power of their Concentric Knots. When the power began to burst out, they would not be harmed by any magic arts performed by them.

“Crackle, crackle…”

Electric lights flashed and surrounded the young fellow and the big yellow dog.

From the high-rank lizard's perspective, the despicable attackers had been attacked by the electric nights and had also turned stiff and numb. Nonetheless, it did not know that everything was false.

No matter how powerful the electric lights around Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were, they were not harmed at all.

They went all-out to incite their Devouring attributes to absorb the high-rank lizard's flesh and blood as much as they could. At the same time, they retrieved new weapons to create new wounds on its body.

Judging from the Insects' tenacity, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow knew that apart from absorbing their flesh and blood, minor wounds were insignificant damages to them. Given the high-rank lizard's physique, it would not be bothered at all.

Even so, the young fellow and the big yellow dog gave their all and were merciless.

The thunderbolt power contained in the formation board declined quickly. This was the board's limit, and it was also the best Ou Yangming could do at the moment.

At last, the high-rank lizard's body was relieved, but it was already covered in wounds. In particular, its right shoulder and one of its hind legs deflated, and its aura weakened very much as well.

In actuality, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow aimed at the high-rank lizard's vital parts when they attacked it earlier. Nevertheless, being a worthy high-rank spirit beast, it acted instinctively despite being attacked by the thunderbolt power out of the blue, where it moved its vital parts away during the crucial moment. If not, it might have died in this dogfight already.

The lizard's eyes twitched, and it looked cruel and violent again.

It stared coldly at Ou Yangming and Big Yellow. Instead of roaring, it expressed itself through its ice-cold eyes.

'Go to h.e.l.l!'

As long as the lizard could move again—yes, even if it could move a little and recover part of its power—it would be confident about crus.h.i.+ng the 2 fellows, which were absorbing its flesh and blood.

The lizard curled its lips, revealing its sharp teeth, which flickered in a cold light that was not inferior to a treasure saber's saber-light.

Ou Yangming sensed that the lizard's power was increasing swiftly. Although he was not absorbing lesser energies from its flesh and blood, its resisting power was increasing in a geometric progression.

When the thunderbolts stopped raging, he and Big Yellow could not suppress the high-rank spirit beast anymore.

Having said that, this was not out of Ou Yangming's expectations. Without the big lazy turtle, it would only be unbelievable if they could still kill a high-rank spirit beast with ease.

“Boom…”

The lizard exerted force without warning as it attempted to get up!

It was then when it noticed that the despicable human was smiling, and his smile was extremely weird.

Quickly after, a feeling of weakness emerged from its body like never before. It felt like a lazy feeling that came from its bones, giving it the urge to simply lay on the ground and sleep without bothering about anything else.

'Wh-what's going on?'

The high-rank lizard's face changed. It finally understood what the human's detestable smile meant.

Poison—it had unknowingly been plotted against.

The poison was nothing like it had ever seen, and it seemed to have a unique restraint against insects.

Typically, formidable insects possessed notable poisons. Relatively, their resistance against poisons was also much higher than the other races. Therefore, it would be h.e.l.lish for one to attempt poisoning an insect powerhouse.

However, the poison inside the high-rank lizard's body seemed different, by which the lizard was poisoned without it knowing. Moreover, the poison spread fast and deep, to the extent that every cell in its body had been invaded, causing it to become powerless.

'Danger, resist!'

The high-rank lizard looked like it was struggling. It could feel that death was imminent, and its potential was about to burst out due to the fearsome threat.

At a moment of life-or-death, no living being would allow themselves to be killed. They would unleash all they had and fight to survive.

That said, it was then when a peculiar power penetrated the high-rank lizard's sea of consciousness.

It was a mental power, which was so mighty that it directly went deep inside its sea of consciousness.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Enormous waves surged inside the lizard's sea of consciousness. Tremendous foreign energies kept cras.h.i.+ng inside as if they wanted to completely destroy the world inside.

The sudden change in the lizard's spiritual world caused it to be frightened out of its wits.

It understood very well that if its sea of consciousness was seized by the foreign energies, it would end up in a vegetative state even if it survived. In that case, the lizard would become unconscious and would not be able to move anymore.

Without any hesitation, the lizard immediately gathered all of its powers and built layers of defense in its sea of consciousness to prevent the foreign power from attacking it further.

Concurrently, the lizard widened its eyes and mustered its energies to counterattack. It wanted to destroy the dangerous mental power in an unyielding stance.

The lizard was not a mental power cultivator, but it naturally possessed mental power because of its cultivation base. It would be difficult for it to release its mental power, but the power would be more than enough for it to secure its territory.

Like Mars cras.h.i.+ng into Earth, the 2 remarkable mental powers clashed and became entangled in a smokeless fight.

Ou Yangming grunted. Blood could be seen flowing out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. On top of that, he slowly looked dispirited.

He was a caster, whose mental power surpa.s.sed his physique's limit.

Nonetheless, as an Intermediate Spiritualist,—one that had just advanced not long ago—it was still quite forceful for him to oppress an experienced high-rank spirit beast with his mental power.

If they continued to become entangled with each other, Ou Yangming would not be victorious at all. Even if he managed to succeed by luck, his loss would outweigh his gain as a result of the huge consumption.

Fortunately, they were not in a deadlock for a long time. After a brief moment, Ou Yangming noticed a significant drop in the high-rank lizard's resisting ability.

The poison in its body finally spread, and the energies absorbed by Ou Yangming from its flesh and blood converted into mental power as a continuous replenishment for him.

Even though the replenishment could not catch up to his consumption, it was enough for him to hold on much longer.

At the spur of the moment, the high-rank lizard's body s.h.i.+vered intensely. The poison that invaded the lizard's body burst out under the centipede's command, then it burned every cell inside and disrupted its willpower.

The lizard's vision went black, such that light from the outside world became blurry to it.

It did its best to struggle, but its power became weaker. A large centipede had unknowingly landed on the lizard, and the centipede pierced all of its legs deep into the lizard's body, causing extreme poison to gush inside. Consequently, the lizard found it hard to move anymore.

The high-rank lizard widened its eyes. It was clear from the look in its eyes that it was not resigned to the outcome.

'How could I be killed by these ants?

'Oh, the centipede on my body isn't an ant. Why am I afraid of its coercion?

'The 10,000-legged Venerable One—this is definitely a trap set up by the 10,000-legged Venerable One!'

While the high-rank lizard screamed internally, its voice would never be heard.

Strong and numbing thunderbolts, soundless poisonous gas, a life-threatening mental power, and queer weapons that could suck one's origin power.

The high-rank lizard would not have bothered if there was only 1 of those 4 things; it could still crush its opponents with its absolute strength. When all 4 of them appeared together by surprise, it became helpless as it was caught off guard.

Eventually, the high-rank lizard looked lifeless and pale.

Ou Yangming suddenly opened his mouth and spurted black blood out of his mouth.

He had to initiate the formation boards, maintain the Illusion Formation's changes, and release mental power to launch the most powerful attack. Above all, his opponent was a high-rank spirit beast.

If it was not because of the great energies from the lizard's flesh and blood, he might not have withstood the process.

It was true that they managed to kill the high-rank lizard in the end, but his injuries were quite severe. In particular, he had a splitting headache because of the confrontation between his and the lizard's mental powers.

Ou Yangming moved his wrist to withdraw his weapon. He and Big Yellow looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

After keeping the high-rank lizard's carca.s.s into his interspatial bag, Ou Yangming lay on Big Yellow's body. He quietly kept the formation boards and put on his cloak, then they backed away slowly.

They initially planned to kill 2 high-rank lizards at most if their plan succeeded. At the very least, they wanted to get rid of the 2 lizards that did not join the fight against the human powerhouses.

It was only after they attacked they realized how terrifying a high-rank lizard's life force was.

Without the big lazy turtle, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow hit their limit after killing just 1 high-rank lizard. If they wanted to attack another one, they would likely be courting their deaths.

Similar to when they first arrived, they retreated from the battle scene quietly and left the area.

The only thing was that after they left, the lizards somehow lost a mighty member.
