Chapter 244: Feast of Fear

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Rui dared to chase after him because he was confident that he could kill or rather eat the hydra head. However, he still needed to wait. Even someone at the peak of earth-rank like him, who was using cheats, could not do anything for a while.

His condition seemed off and he was mumbling strange words. Moreover, the voice that came out of his mouth was deep and hoarse, like insects chirping. However, Lin Xuan brushed it off. After all, when he transformed into the ying azure dragon, he couldn’t speak the human language; instead, he could only roar a few times.

The Fear Domain covered the head of the eight-headed hydra as if he wanted to arouse fear in its consciousness. It didn’t want to kill it in one strike; instead, it wanted to buy time for something…

Lin Xuan touched his jaw and thought to himself, ‘Is he waiting for the residual sword slash to kill him?’

It’s possible. However, it’ll take a lot of time which would cause a lot of variables. Not to mention the sea beasts in the ocean, even the body of the eight-headed hydra would not dare to enter the ocean of Taixia Country. However, it didn’t mean that it didn’t dare to stir up a storm. As long as it didn’t affect the coastline of Taixia Country, they would not care about it no matter how it stirred up a storm.

Additionally, people from smaller countries might sneak in here. If a mystic-rank powerhouse sneaked in here, many earth-rank powerhouses in Taixia Country would not make a move either, as for earth-rank powerhouses… it was impossible for them to even enter.

The eight-headed hydra was infuriated by this action.

It opened its mouth towards Li Rui out of fury. The black flame rose at the sight of the wind. Although it could not cover the sky, it could definitely inflict some damage.

In an instant, Li Rui moved. Fear was his domain. He could appear at any corner where fear spread. This was the origin of void fear!

It was a terrifying inheritance that controlled spatial laws and the law of fear!

When he appeared again, Li Rui was already in front of the eight-headed hydra head. With a sinister laugh, he punched out with a fear jab. It hit the hydra-head ruthlessly, but it did not seem to have any effect.

Lin Xuan had experienced the toughness of the hydra skin and the toughness of the hydra meat. Normal attacks could not hurt it at all. Hitting the hydra skin would not mean anything.

However, to Lin Xuan’s surprise, the head of the eight-headed hydra cried out in pain. It did not seem like it was acting!

“Fear…” Lin Xuan, who was watching the battle from the side, quickly thought of something. “Does this f*cking involve soul attacks?”

Fear was an innate emotion. Using fear as an attack method and involving soul attacks seemed to make sense!

With this thought, Lin Xuan suddenly came to a realization.

The most serious injury to the head of the eight-headed hydra was not its body. After all, it was a ferocious monster that was famous for its strong body. It could be reborn from a drop of blood and regrow its severed limbs. The most serious injury to its body was its soul!

Wang Wu’s sword did not just chop off its head, it also chopped off its consciousness. Does that mean the soul carries its consciousness? What did this mean? Its soul had also been chopped off by the sword.

The eight-headed hydra’s soul might be very strong. It had eight heads, and eight attributes, and its soul was also divided into eight equal parts. It was also known as one of the peak earth-rank experts. However, now that one of its heads had been cut off, its soul had suffered considerable injuries, the soul in its head wasn’t even one-eighth of its original size!

The body carried the soul, and the hydra head’s vitality was still being constantly eroded by the sword attack. Its soul was also constantly weakening…

At the thought of this, Lin Xuan’s eyes began to shine. He finally saw the hope of killing this hydra head.

Li Rui continued to punch out. One punch after another struck the hydra skin with fear. Every time the hydra-head wanted to hit Li Rui, he would come ahead and hit him with a silent Scream of Fear causing some magic backlash!

“Your health bar, I see a red line!”

A low and hoarse insect cry sounded. Li Rui’s eyes were even more inhuman. However, the greed and satisfaction in his eyes were definitely still his own!

Before the eight-headed hydra could react, its soul, which had been destroyed till no return, seemed to have been pulled into a strange ritual space.

Feast of Fear!

On the misty throne in the void, a huge shadow of an insect quietly appeared. It lowered its head and looked at the hydra’s head hungrily. With a low smile, it opened its terrifying mouth and swallowed the eight-headed hydra’s head, with a strong bite, blood sprayed out everywhere!

The only remaining hydra eye of the eight-headed hydra’s head suddenly revealed confusion, fear, and unwillingness. After it let out a wail, its voice suddenly stopped, and for a moment, there was no sound at all, it powerlessly fell on the surface of the sea, drifting along with the waves.

“What was that?”

Lin Xuan’s eyes jumped. This skill was so powerful that it actually ignored the rank restriction. Like Lin Xuan, he also had a kill-type skill, but it was capped by the rank restriction. When he was at the yellow-rank, he couldn’t kill a mystic-rank, and when he was at the mystic rank, he couldn’t kill an earth-rank.

Li Rui’s kill-type skill actually killed the eight-headed hydra that was at the peak of the earth-rank when he was at the mystic-rank!

It was ridiculously powerful!

Although killing-type skills were powerful, they also had certain limitations. For example, Lin Xuan’s killing blow needed to cause damage before it could activate. However, Li Rui’s killing blow had even more limitations, according to Lin Xuan’s observations, it had a specific limit that needed to be taught.

The battle had already ended. Lin Xuan instantly rushed over and grabbed the hydra head that was about to float away. This thing was a trophy and was extremely valuable. It had the flesh and blood of a peak earth-rank wild monster on it, to body-refining powerhouses like Lin Xuan and Li Rui, it was a great tonic!

Good stuff could not be thrown away.

On the other side was Li Rui, who had fallen into a coma. When Li Rui used a kill-type skill to kill the hydra head, his status rapidly increased. Moreover, he should have obtained some benefit. According to Lin Xuan’s senses, his Glazed body was rapidly advancing to a higher level.

“The harvest is huge this time!”

There were some exclamations, but if it was Lin Xuan, he would definitely not do this because he would never take such a gamble.

Li Rui’s body could no longer withstand the rapid strengthening. His skin was torn open, and blood gushed out. His skin tore open and the fatty flesh of his body oozed out.

There were many benefits, but Li Rui might not have been able to hold on until the time for the benefits to be distributed!

Scratching his head, Lin Xuan was a little helpless. “I’ll lend it to you. Remember to return it!”

As he said this, he took out his previously useless Mount Tai Flame and patted it on Li Rui’s body.

“Alright, he’s finally stabilizing. Are you guys sure you don’t want to come out now?”
