Chapter 539 - 326: Spatial Hunt: Hiss Becomes Fodder for the Sword Tomb

At the same time, it secretly circulated its Divine Power, setting an invisible net woven from a virulent soul poison around its body. It just had to wait for that greedy human to appear again, and it would capture him in one fell swoop.

In Hiss’s agony, time stretched to an eternity.

Its initial vigilance had given way to rage, which had now soured into bewildered uncertainty.

That human was like a soul-reaping Ghost; just when you thought he had left, he would always strike from the most unbelievable angle, delivering a perfectly timed, painful sting.

Ten minutes.

For a Divine-Level battle, it was but the blink of an eye, but for Hiss, it felt like suffering death by a thousand cuts for a century.

The surroundings were silent. There was nothing but the sound of the wind.

"Damn it! Where is he?" The Head of Hatred was growing impatient.

Just as Hiss’s patience was about to run out, a sense of crisis that made its Divine Soul tremble came from above its head once more!

The same position, the same feeling of being locked on!

"Again!"

Hiss was prepared this time. The core Head of Dominance instantly spat out a gray Divine Power Shield, completely enveloping all three heads.

At that exact moment, Han Feng’s figure appeared.

’Divine Power Module, activate!’

’Target: Flying Sword [Broken Star].’

’Consumption: Ten thousand strands of Sword Aura!’

This time, Han Feng poured almost all of his freshly replenished Sword Aura into it!

HUMMM!

The Short Sword in his hand, [Broken Star], erupted with an unprecedented radiance.

The point of [Breaking Aura] divine light at the sword’s tip was amplified more than a hundredfold, transforming into a microscopic, perpetually collapsing black star!

"Break!"

Han Feng’s eyes were icy as he thrust his sword forward!

[Broken Star] traced a perfect straight line through the air, precisely striking Hiss’s gray Divine Power Shield.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

With just a gentle touch from the microscopic black star, the Divine Power Shield disintegrated. This shield, said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Tier Four Late Stage expert, popped like a balloon pricked by a needle, a hole silently appearing.

SHUNK!

[Broken Star]’s momentum didn’t falter. It plunged viciously through the eye socket of the Head of Dominance, piercing straight through its skull!

"AHHH—!"

This time, all three heads let out a heart-rending, blood-curdling scream in unison!

The Head of Dominance was where its Divine Soul Origin resided!

This single strike had severely wounded its very foundation!

Its rampant Divine Power spun out of control, forming a destructive Energy storm with it at the center that swept out in all directions.

As for Han Feng, he had already calmly retreated back into his Sword Tomb Space the moment before the storm formed, vanishing without a trace, his deed done.

After the Energy storm passed, Hiss could no longer maintain its Cloud Mist Form, revealing its Illusion Spirit Body, which existed somewhere between the corporeal and the ethereal.

Its form had dimmed considerably. A gaping hole ran clean through the eye socket of its core Head of Dominance, from which its golden Divine Soul Origin was steadily leaking.

It was afraid.

This human, at the First Layer of the Enlightenment Realm, was simply a monster!

He was unkillable and uncatchable, yet his attacks were terrifyingly fatal!

’How am I supposed to fight this?’

’Flee! I have to flee!’

Hiss had lost all will to fight. Its massive body transformed into a streak of light, desperately fleeing toward a specific direction deep within Dragon Abyss.

That was the territory of the Profound Water True Monarch. As long as it could escape there, it would be safe!

But no matter how fast it ran, it couldn’t outpace a spatial jump.

Han Feng followed behind it, attacking relentlessly.

The instant an attack landed, he would once again hide back in the Sword Tomb Space.

A precise and cruel dissection began.

Han Feng’s attacks became even more cunning.

Sometimes, a Heart Sword slash would strike the connection point of its Divine Souls, causing the coordination between its three heads to fail for a moment.

Other times, a strand of Sword Aura imbued with ultimate Sharpness would precisely shave off a scale infused with Divine Power.

Little by little, the damage accumulated.

The number of wounds on Hiss’s body grew, and the Divine Blood flowing from them stained the swamp below a strange, dark gold.

Its once-proud Divine Body was now riddled with holes, and its aura had weakened to the verge of collapse.

It had lived for thousands of years, yet it had never encountered such shameless tactics.

His opponent was like a mosquito hiding in the walls. It would fly out to bite you when you least expected it, and by the time you slapped at it, it would have vanished without a trace.

Leaving behind nothing but an itching wound and a heart full of rage.

The dignity of a Divine being was crushed to dust in that moment.

What made Hiss despair the most was that this human seemed to possess an endless supply of Energy.

Every time he appeared, his Sword Aura was as full and vigorous as if he had just woken up. Every attack was a full-power, killing blow.

"Just what kind of monster are you?!"

Hiss’s voice trembled with a hint of fear.

Its body was already covered in a dozen or more wounds of varying sizes. Its Divine Power, its poison, its physical body—all were useless against these shameless tactics.

Hiss saw Han Feng appear again, and the venomous hatred in its eyes was practically overflowing.

Its central "Head of Dominance" suddenly glowed with an eerie red light.

A tempting thought transmitted directly into Han Feng’s mind:

"Human! Spare me! I can sign a contract with you! I can make you the king of the Viper Tribe! I have countless believers, I have mountains of Treasure..."

PFFT!

Its response was a small, three-inch sword shooting toward the space between its brows.

The [Three-Inch Heart Sword]!

Hiss shrieked as an intense pain wracked its Divine Soul, and its pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.

"A contract?"

Han Feng’s voice came from all directions, ethereal and unfixed.

"If I kill you, won’t all of those things be mine anyway?"

Under the gaze of the [Eye of Insight], the malicious red light surging within Hiss was more blinding than the sun.
