Chapter 1014 - 444:

Zhang Zhengdao made up his mind to first take out this guy who excelled in mental attacks!

Mental attack professions are almost the ones all Awakened most want to avoid. Although they rarely kill directly, their various means can exert great influence on the battlefield, and combining them with mental professions can definitely create a strength greater than the sum of their parts.

However, correspondingly, their combat power, especially defensively, tends to be weaker than those of the same tier professions!

Dazzling thunder engulfed Wu’s body, as if that black shadow was completely shattered under the extremely intense thunder light, leaving not a trace behind.

However, Zhang Zhengdao’s face showed no hint of joy; instead, his heart sank!

When the light cleared, a figure appeared a thousand meters away, with countless sticky tentacles emerging from behind Wu, wrapping around him in dozens of layers.

"Creak, creak."

The outermost tentacles had long turned to charcoal under the strong electric current, disintegrating one after another under gravity, while the inner layers were full of burn marks, twisting back and forth as if moaning in pain.

However, the innermost Wu seemed completely unharmed.

This left Zhang Zhengdao in disbelief. Although the thunder unleashed was far from the strongest attack method of the [Five Thunder Heavenly Punishment Diagram] for the sake of speed, the opponent’s so easy acceptance shocked him, and he immediately realized that this person’s strength was far beyond his estimation!

The unbelievable part was—how did Chu Xiu escape from the hands of such a strong person?

"Some kind of special artifact?"

But there was no point contemplating this now. He had to adjust his strategy immediately, and the reality was that if that six-meter-tall demon-shaped creature had the same strength, the two attacking in concert would be severely unfortunate.

Nevertheless, unexpectedly to Zhang Zhengdao, Wu, who was attacked, did not retaliate but instead further distanced himself, saying with a faint smile, "Lilith, I’ll keep an eye on the other two. As for this Daoist, the mess you made, you clean it up yourself."

This left Zhang Zhengdao slightly stunned, while Lilith snorted coldly: "I never needed you."

With these words, a concentrated black light surged from Lilith, coating her hands, and then she just gave a forward tear, and the space between him and Zhang Zhengdao seemed to be eliminated! Zhang Zhengdao was only in a blur, and Lilith had already appeared in front of him!

Zhang Zhengdao was shocked. The use of this space technique was far more skillful than his [Instant Dragon Technique], and before he could think further, his battle-honed instincts reacted, and the Xuanqing Spirit-Gathering Spell formed a verdant shield in front of him!

In the next instant, a tsunami-like frenzied power hit, and the Spirit-Gathering Shield shattered like glass facing cannonballs, sending Zhang Zhengdao’s figure flying!

"Boom!"

He crashed heavily onto the Titan Giant Mechanism, and only after burrowing a hundred meters could he barely stop!

"Clan leader!"

"Senior!"

Two exclamations sounded, and both Chen Huang and Divine Power Daoist intended to rush over, but at this moment, several seams cracked open beside them without warning, and a mass of tentacles surged out!

Wu made his move!

"I’m fine." Zhang Zhengdao conveyed through Divine Thought, "Don’t worry about me, focus on teaming up with the other Heroic Spirits to confront the enemy!"

After which, his figure flew out of the pit.

At this moment, a Tai Chi Diagram suspended in front of him; just at the crucial moment earlier, he timely mobilized the Mixed Yuan Taiji Diagram to protect himself, thus taking the hit.

A cold sweat slid down Zhang Zhengdao’s forehead, his expression more solemn than ever: "Peak Demigod!"

"Is it so surprising?" Lilith’s disdainful gaze cast down from high above, "No wonder you were so confident before; turns out you are relying on some decent equipment."

"But do you think you can contend with me just by relying on that? You lowly creatures dare to disrespect my master!"

Lilith’s eyes gradually turned red; in her view, Zhang Zhengdao’s underestimation of her power was also underestimating the King of Bronze!

If one could become the King of Bronze’s divine envoy without even possessing the power of a Peak Demigod, wouldn’t that mean the King of Bronze was no different from ordinary Outer Realm Demons?

This was absolute disrespect!

"Let me show you frogs in a well, what true power is!"

Lilith tossed a Five-Person Mud Jar, and her hoarse voice echoed the battlefield: "I have promised an inescapable battle!"

In the next instant, Zhang Zhengdao rose into the air, facing Lilith directly. He was horrified to find he couldn’t move in any direction except towards Lilith!

While raising her hand, Lilith summoned a giant battle halberd into her hands, her body once again radiating thick black light, releasing her aura without restraint. A terrifying pressure pervaded the entire Titan Giant Mechanism, making Low Tier Awakened feel like rabbits smelling a tiger’s scent, with their minds left only with the urge to flee!

Even High Tier Awakened turned pale, feeling an overwhelming fear surging within them.

Earlier, Chu Xiu was severely injured, as it consumed a great deal of time and energy on the [Silent Judge] to interrogate Chu Xiu. After all, cutting someone down with a blade was easy, but controlling the blade close to their heart without harming them was not.

During Tribulation, Chu Xiu’s full-force attack had strength extremely close to a Peak Demigod. Although his energy was sealed after the Tribulation, all attributes ascended, and he gained control over his Fighting Spirit. Additionally, the Dataless technique enhanced the power of Chiwen and Star Ring Gloves from Heroic Spirit to Demigod, dramatically boosting Chu Xiu’s peak combat power again.
