Chapter 478: Chapter 477: Heaven Fulfills Man's Wishes
It was Corpse Qi! And it was extremely toxic Corpse Qi.
The Corpse Eating Spirit\'s Corpse Qi was accumulated through devouring corpses as it grew. The more corpses it devoured, and the higher its cultivation base became, the more toxic the Corpse Qi would be. It was terrifying enough to melt gold and iron.
Moreover, aided by the push of the airflow, its body suddenly shot out, heading towards another part of the battlefield.
But within that great cloud of Corpse Qi it had expelled, the figure that should have been engulfed silently disappeared once more.
A hand as white as jade was already blocking its path the next instant as it flew out.
All these changes happened incredibly fast. The Corpse Eating Spirit also had Ninth Stage cultivation and had a very clear sense of danger. It did not hesitate to turn around mid-air to face its opponent. This time, it did not hold back, and suddenly, its body inflated like a rubber ball about to burst, making a "bang" with a muffled sound. A thick yellow stream burst forth, covering all directions, and its body was now in the very center of the competition platform. Once it exploded, the horrifying Corpse Qi would surely cover a vast area.
But in that moment, a fierce platinum flame had already risen, swiftly enveloping the freshly burst Corpse Qi in the air, appearing like a platinum orb. It actually controlled the spread within a five-meter diameter, forcefully preventing the Corpse Qi from dissipating outward.
With the Corpse Qi contained within and silver light swirling, both the opponent and the Corpse Eating Spirit disappeared within that incandescent orb.
It lasted for less than two seconds before the orb retracted, and a figure appeared out of thin air, landing on the ground—none other than the masked Asura.
In the left hand of the Asura was an Array Plate, while the body of the Corpse Eating Spirit had completely vanished without a trace, without even a slight mark left behind.
Meanwhile, the fight on the other side had also concluded.
The eight arms of the Spider Tree Spirit were incredibly sharp, and as it appeared in front of Pretty Girl alongside a shadow, its powerful offensive unfolded. But what met it was a series of space cracks.
The dense space cracks, with their terrifying cutting power, pressed over the area, directly covering it.
Even though the Spider Tree Spirit was doing its utmost to deal with them, relying on its speed and attack power to counter, when it truly came into contact with a space crack, it realized that it was something it couldn\'t withstand. It was just an instantaneous contact, and one of its arms was already broken. More delicate space cracks spread outward, blocking all of its essential paths.
Just like when Pretty Girl was undergoing her inheritance test, strands of silver light shot out, and the surrounding space of the Spider Tree Spirit seemed to have shattered into fragments, leaving it nowhere to hide.
The remaining arms simultaneously plunged into the ground, but this time it wasn\'t for an attack but for escape, transforming into a shadow that fled. It needed to meet up with its ally first before launching an attack again.
But just then, the surrounding space seemed to suddenly solidify, forcibly stopping the shadow. In the next moment, countless silvery lights surged from all around.
The body of the Spider Tree Spirit was segmented into pieces, no blood spilling but thoroughly cut apart.
The competition concluded!
But at such a time, the supernatural abilities of the Spirit Monster clan came into play. Even though the body was segmented into chunks, those black pieces quickly gathered towards each other as if they were going to reattach.
Pretty Girl furrowed her brows, but did not interfere. They had already won, and to continue killing the opponent would cease to be a competition and turn it into something akin to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.
She looked up towards the distance and just in time saw that Asura had already landed quietly, while the Corpse Eating Spirit had disappeared.
Asura was giving her a thumbs up. Pretty Girl also nodded at him in return.
This battle could be said to have been without any pressure.
"Pair number eight wins," the judge announced the result of the match.
Tang San approached Pretty Girl and swung his hands, creating air flows that gathered the dark fragments, as the Spider Tree Spirit\'s body was barely fusing back together.
Tang San took the initiative to approach the other, took out a fruit brimming with Life Aura, crushed it, and infused the Life Aura into the other.
At the same time, he flicked his other hand, and under the flash of silver light, a shriveled body was already drifting down to land. It looked like only a layer of skin was left, and the Corpse Eating Spirit\'s original golden body had turned to earthy yellow, twitching on the ground.
The Spider Tree Spirit barely patched together its body full of cracks, looked at Tang San, then at the twitching Corpse Eating Spirit on the ground, and said with a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
Tang San raised his hand to support its arm that was almost falling apart again and said indifferently, "It\'s just a competition." Having said that, he then called to Pretty Girl, and they walked towards the stand below together.
The first match of the doubles, won!
Both fought individually, but each easily defeated their opponent, completely suppressing them throughout the match, not giving their opponents any real chance to counter.
In the eyes of the audience, Pretty Girl\'s fight was no different from her previous one; it was a matter of bloodline overpowering. With the Peacock Demon Clan\'s strong control over space power, she completely overwhelmed her opponent, leaving them without a chance to fight back. If it hadn\'t been for the powerful life force of the Spirit Monster Race, a member of the Demon Race would have died long ago.
Even so, the Spider Tree Spirit had been severely injured and would need a long time to recover.
What really caught the audience\'s attention was Tang San, who had transformed into Asura. Even the spectators in the VIP seats felt the same way because none of them understood how Tang San had defeated his opponent.
The white-hot ball of light contained immense bloodline power, but what happened after it enveloped the Corpse Eating Spirit was unclear to everyone. They could only vaguely sense that it was at least a second-level, or even a first-level Bloodline power.
And then the match had ended. Those in the audience who remembered Tang San\'s performance in the singles match were the most astonished. In the singles match, Tang San\'s victory over the Golden Mammoth had seemed very odd, as if the Golden Mammoth had intentionally thrown the match.
But what about this match? Was it still a throw? If not, how had this seemingly human accomplished it?
Sometimes, mystery invites curiosity. Yet, some perceptive people noticed the Array Plate in Tang San\'s hands. It seemed to be the highly popular Teleportation Array Disk currently on the market, a high-value item.
His ability to reach the Corpse Eating Spirit instantly before relied on this Teleportation Array Disk. Two teleportations gave him the chance for a close attack. If all the fighting power he exhibited when defeating the Golden Mammoth in the first match was genuine and he truly overcame the opponent with his strength, then this human\'s close combat abilities were undoubtedly very strong.
This was the audience\'s current assessment of Tang San\'s fighting abilities.
As they walked down from the competition stage, Pretty Girl couldn\'t help but ask in a low voice, "How did you do it? Where did all the corpse energy go?"
Tang San replied, "The Corpse Eating Spirit was rather dirty, and the smell was too foul. I didn\'t want to contaminate you, so I got rid of it all."
In fact, his approach to fighting was simple. He used the Lion Tiger Golden Gang to suppress close by, preventing the spread of corpse energy, and at that time, he quietly opened a space crack to suck out all the corpse energy within the Lion Tiger Golden Gang. Then he sealed the Corpse Eating Spirit with a Space Seal, and during the process, he also devoured a significant amount of the Corpse Eating Spirit\'s Bloodline Brand.
