Chapter 702: Chapter 697: Defense Mechanism
Outside the Garrison Academy, on the battlefield.
The strongest from both academies were at a standoff with Sarajael.
After Bai Pu entered Sarajael’s body, this Netherworld Demon God felt threatened, and its struggle grew stronger and fiercer. It flapped its wings repeatedly, trying to escape this battlefield.
"Lock it down! Don’t let it escape."
Principal Bosh poured all his fighting qi energy to maintain the strength of the Thunder God’s Whip, slowing its rate of being burned and melted by the Demon Fire.
Other strong fighters, with their energy-formed giant hands, each grabbed a part of the Thunder God’s Whip, struggling to pull and prevent Sarajael from flying away.
Without needing Principal Bosh to explain, they all knew that if Sarajael flew away, it would have the time to deal with Dior Fulri who had drilled inside.
Moreover, Dior Fulri had several Ancient Relics within him!
This was crucial; if Sarajael seized those Ancient Relics, its revival progress would rapidly advance, and its power would significantly increase—not at all the current situation.
By then, no one in the entire Demon Fighting World would be able to stop it.
"I wonder if Dior Fulri can crush Sarajael from the inside."
"It’s hard. Inside a Demon God is like a miniature world, its home ground. Although most of Sarajael’s power is restrained by us, the self-defense mechanism inside it alone is not something a mere mortal can easily shake."
Within the Spiritual Link, the strong fighters exchanged views, most of them harboring a pessimistic outlook.
"I only hope Dior Fulri doesn’t overestimate himself and leaves quickly if things go awry. We still have a chance."
...
Crimson mists drifted continuously.
Bai Pu carefully avoided them because they were manifestations of Sarajael’s divine power energy. If touched, the buildup speed of the Flowing Fire Poison would dramatically increase, and no matter how much Bai Pu could withstand, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Occasionally, he saw pipes as thick as water barrels or giant pythons—those were Sarajael’s blood vessels. As for the flash of jagged rocky cliffs—those were Sarajael’s muscles and internal organs.
Bai Pu stood on the Magic Sand Flying Disc, wielding the Doomsday Spear as he flew along.
Fortunately, in the state of Man and Horse as One, once activated, it could be maintained continuously. Even if Bai Pu separated temporarily from his mount, it wouldn’t disappear unless it exceeded the range of the spiritual link.
Now, Bai Pu could still enjoy the powerful attribute bonuses brought by the Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei.
"It’s right ahead!"
The voice of the Demon God’s Remnant Soul Fekalo echoed in Bai Pu’s Heart Image Space.
Ahead, a patch of foggy red mist obscured the view. Bai Pu directly raised the Doomsday Spear, and with Prismatic Demon Fighting Qi infused, Three Kingdoms Slash swung out of thin air.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Three combat qi sharpnesses, each several meters long, emerged and plunged into the red mist.
A tremor ensued, the red mist was first torn apart, then scattered.
The red mist blocking Bai Pu’s path instantly opened up, revealing the fiercely burning Demon Fire heart—the Heart of Fire Feathers!
This Heart of Fire Feathers was as large as a hill, connected by a closed-off giant corridor-like passage, thicker than any other pipe Bai Pu had encountered.
The Heart of Fire Feathers pulsed vigorously, like a hill during an earthquake. Waves of pure energy pumped out along the giant energy pipes connected to the heart.
Bai Pu suddenly lunged at the Heart of Fire Feathers.
Suddenly, from the surrounding pipes connected to the Heart of Fire Feathers, four enormous crimson tentacles, each tens of meters long, spread out!
The tentacles flailed madly, like four masters of whip techniques, weaving an impenetrable whip net to stop Bai Pu.
"Looks like I’ve found the real deal. To protect its most important magic organ, Sarajael’s body defense mechanism is further activated!"
Bai Pu charged toward the four massive tentacles. Although his form was small, the fighting qi spear tip and fighting qi slashes brought by the Doomsday Spear were each ten meters long, leaving deep scars on the surface of the gigantic tentacles.
However, after being injured, these tentacles would heal their wounds at a rather fast pace.
"These tentacles are too tough..."
Bai Pu grumbled.
The voice of the Demon God’s Remnant Soul Fekalo sounded: "Of course, from the perspective of you Awakened ones, each tentacle’s life value exceeds one hundred thousand, with an automatic recovery rate of 1000 blood volume per second. In Sarajael’s body, the defense isn’t very strong; otherwise, you wouldn’t stand a chance."
Bai Pu nodded slightly and immediately activated Celestial Descent!
The Gang Step could be used without consumption, and the Magic Sand Flying Disc beneath Bai Pu quickly dissolved into a thin layer of Magic Sand Armor covering him.
Without caring about the lashing of the four tentacles, he focused his full attack on one of them!
What does it matter if it recovers 1000 blood volume every second? With Bai Pu’s all-out attack, his output was at least over five thousand per second!
The tentacles struck Bai Pu’s surface but couldn’t send him flying. Bai Pu was like an ultra-heavy, ultra-stubborn stone, madly stabbing at the root of one tentacle.
After severing the first tentacle, Bai Pu ignored the other three because the defensive net woven by the tentacles showed a significant gap due to the break in the first tentacle!
To put it simply, this tentacle defense net was not controlled by Sarajael but rather like some kind of rigid program. With four tentacles, there would be no dead angles, but with three, gaps would appear at certain times and in certain positions.
Through keen observation, Bai Pu silently plotted, then his form suddenly shifted, and with three dashes of the Gang Step Dash, he broke through the tentacle’s blockade and crashed into the Heart of Fire Feathers!
...
Napo Gang was breathing heavily.
He conjured a clone to hold off the Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei, while his true form hurried to the battle group of Sarajael and the Advanced Lords.
Though he didn’t know why Bai Pu had such confidence to crash into Sarajael’s body.
Napo Gang’s unease, however, was growing.
If Sarajael truly perished, then the Red Sand Ghost Legion and the fierce True Red Executor Monsters would vanish!
By then, Napo Gang’s team would face the onslaught of the world’s top battle force.
They would have no chance of victory!
The mission to kill Bai Pu, the "seed talent," would naturally be impossible to complete.
The competition within the Sea God Hall was extremely brutal, and the punishment for failure was almost catastrophic.
If unable to complete the mission, Napo Gang would not only lose the generous rewards promised by the Divine Envoy but also face cruel punishment.
Thus, he had no choice but to rush over to help Sarajael!
However, the moment Napo Gang rushed over, a sudden eruption occurred at Sarajael’s purple wound! A battered figure shrouded in Demon Fire was ejected, falling headfirst straight down.
It seemed... it was Bai Pu, who had just charged inside!
