Chapter 461 - 26: As Is Well Known, a Life-and-Death Struggle Only Takes 1 -

But what happened next was even more astonishing to the God—before the water mist and sparks scattered by the Wind God had even dispersed, a cyan thunder light erupted from the ground once more!

’Three elements?!’

The Wind God hurriedly raised the Thunderbolt Spear formed by its other forelimb, using it as a lightning rod to divert the blast of thunder light Su Zhou had unleashed. It was truly bewildered. "Creatures from the Otherworld are this bizarre? Not even the Gods of past Eras could control three elements at once!"

The God hadn’t seen Su Zhou use his Gale Armor’s Wind Attribute—his fourth Attribute. Otherwise, its shock would have reached an entirely new level.

As Su Zhou continuously switched Attributes and bombarded the Wind God with various breath attacks, the weather began to slowly change. The vapor from the three lakes the Water God had summoned days ago had not yet fully dissipated. With the powers of wind and rain now being manipulated, clouds began to gather, forming a thick layer of rain clouds over the area.

The moment the clouds had sufficiently gathered, Su Zhou roared. His lower limbs tensed, and an immense surge of Spiritual Power erupted from the soles of his feet like rocket thrusters, launching the colossal beast high into the air as he lunged toward the Wind God.

Just as the Wind God assumed Su Zhou was trying to close in for a melee attack and immediately flew backward to gain distance, Su Zhou’s body instead plummeted toward the earth. He crashed into the ground like a meteorite!

A three-thousand-ton behemoth, empowered by a thunderous, Spiritual Power-fueled leap, now plummeting back down with that same power.

How terrifying was the impact?

BOOM!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread from the point of impact as the immense force was channeled evenly throughout the land. A mere second later, a vast area, measured in square kilometers, completely disintegrated into a sky-blotting cloud of dust. Countless rock fragments, carrying unimaginable kinetic energy, shot toward the heavens like flak from an anti-aircraft cannon, enveloping the Wind God’s position.

Meanwhile, the mist from his previously scattered Water Element Breath still lingered in the area.

The Wind God naturally tried to retreat and avoid this man-made dust cloud, but a cyan Thunder Light, like a Dragon Serpent, slithered and flashed within the damp particles. Even though the Wind God absorbed the Thunder Light with the Thunderbolt Spear at its right wrist, its movements were still halted for an instant.

In that moment, while the Wind God was not in control of the surrounding Wind Elements, Su Zhou used his Gale Armor for a brief burst of acceleration. Accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, he charged toward the God at his true top speed!

BOOM! The two giants collided in mid-air. The Wind God’s reflexes were flawless. Though Su Zhou had momentarily paralyzed it with a series of attacks, it reacted at the last possible second. The Gale Spear, spinning with a deadly cutting force, tore through his scales and impaled his abdomen. In an instant, the attack broke through the defense of his Holy Triangle-enhanced Dragon Scales and stabbed clean through him.

But to Su Zhou, such an injury was utterly meaningless. The core components of this body were just his spine, scales, and heart—and maybe his Bipolar Brain. Every other part, much like the body of that Beast Taming Demon General from the Divine Wood World, was just for show, a target for his enemies to hit!

Su Zhou had always been adept at learning from his enemies’ strengths. Right now, for instance, the Great Dragon, completely unfazed by the spear in his stomach, had already seized the giant bee-like God’s wings. Gathering the Spiritual Power of Flame and Thunderbolt in his claws, he shattered the Wind God’s Gale Shield, scorched the fragile wings, and then crushed them to dust!

WHOOSH— The two Giant Beasts plummeted from hundreds of meters in the air, crashing back to the earth and raising another massive cloud of dust.

—’That’s right, Su Zhou’s current True Body had no wings, so he couldn’t fight in the air. But he could always drag his flying opponents down to the ground and pull them into a battle in his own familiar territory! It was a technique every keyboard warrior excelled at!’

But Su Zhou had underestimated the Wind God.

—’No wings meant it couldn’t fly?’

The Gale was not so easily limited!

SWOOSH!

A sharp, urgent whistling of wind arose. The Wind God could not speak, nor could it use Soul Communication, but the Gale itself was its will. The atmosphere thundered, and a piercing shriek, like a tornado sweeping across the world, rang out. A cold light gleamed in the massive compound eyes of the God that Su Zhou had dragged from the sky.

Then, it plunged all three of its Long Spears—the ones on its arms and tail—deep into Su Zhou’s body!

’Giving up all defense for pure offense? Is it trying to take us both down?’ For a moment, even Su Zhou was caught off guard. His chest and abdomen were now run through by the Wind God’s spears. Gale, Thunderbolt, and venom tore at his flesh, corroding his body. Even so, Su Zhou did not halt his own assault. He decisively swung his powerful, steel-like dragon arms, wreathed in Flame and Thunderbolt, and hammered them against the Wind God’s compound eyes and armored head.

But a few seconds later, Su Zhou perceived everything around them falling away as his own body suddenly felt light. He instantly understood the Wind God’s true objective!

RUMBLE— A massive, spiraling sphere of Gale had formed around Su Zhou and the Wind God. It lifted Su Zhou’s colossal, multi-thousand-ton body, along with all the surrounding earth and shattered rock, and hurtled them toward the heavens at subsonic speed!
