Chapter 462 - 216: As Everyone Knows, a Life-and-Death Struggle Only Takes 1 -

In mere seconds, the entrance to the Maze shrank to the size of a fingernail, and Naisel City itself became a toy-like model in the periphery of Su Zhou’s vision.

WHIRRR!

As the Wind God controlled the gale, carrying Su Zhou up into the sky, the Giant Dragon’s power diminished significantly, having lost the ground for leverage. All around him, the furiously spinning gale cut into his flesh like countless blades. Impaled by the Wind God’s three long spears, Su Zhou was like a martyr nailed to a Cross, forced to passively endure his opponent’s repeated attacks!

However, the Wind God had also underestimated Su Zhou.

’Who said you can’t attack just because your body’s been pierced through?’

’How could Extraordinary Power be bound by the shallow common sense of ordinary life!’

BOOM! At that moment, layers of halo-like, cyan-blue electric arcs erupted around Su Zhou. The arcs crisscrossed and gathered, instantly condensing into a suit of Thunder Armor—and the Wind God, in direct contact with him, took the full, hundred-percent force of the Thunder Light Su Zhou had just unleashed using his own body as the conduit!

Both of them convulsed in violent, agonizing pain almost simultaneously, letting out silent howls as the stench of scorched, cooked flesh filled the air. In that instant, the spiraling gale that had been lifting the god and the man ever upward dissipated. Once again, they began to plummet toward the earth from an altitude of thousands, nearly ten thousand, meters!

RUMBLE... As the one who had launched the attack, Su Zhou was the first to recover his senses. Amidst the roiling Thunder Light, the Giant Dragon, its very form seeming to distort in the electricity, opened its massive maw. Su Zhou seemed to have rediscovered the frenzied state from his battles with the National Preceptor and the Demon Emperor. He aimed straight for the Wind God’s head and chomped down, as if to bite its skull clean off!

But how tough was the Wind God’s carapace? And how immense was its power over the gale? The giant bee, having also recovered its senses, commanded the winds. A Gale Shield staunchly blocked Su Zhou’s massive jaws, preventing him from actually biting down and devouring its head. It was even manipulating its power, planning a counterattack.

But at that very moment, far in the distance, a small blade could be seen. Wreathed in Thunder Light, it was hurtling toward the two entangled combatants.

The Blade of Annihilation was being controlled by Su Zhou’s Thunder Light—this was his Celestial Thunder Sword Control Technique!

A cyan-blue Spiritual Light flared. The Divine Blade, guided by thunderous electromagnetism, instantly became a streak of light like a rainbow. Then, from an angle Su Zhou’s own body could never have reached, it plunged into the Wind God’s back!

VMMMM!

For a moment, the gale nearly dissipated. The Wind God had initially paid no mind to this weapon, which looked like little more than a needle. But when the needle actually pierced its body, it was stunned to realize that the Blade of Annihilation could directly attack its Soul. It was searingly hot, as if molten lava had been poured into its body, with the Thunderbolt spreading through it and destroying all the tissue in its back!

By now, Su Zhou and the Wind God had fallen into the rain clouds. At that moment, the Giant Dragon actually sent a telepathic message to the Wind God.

"Do you know what Dragons do back where I’m from?"

It was pure, simple trash talk, meant to distract his enemy. The Wind God had no intention of paying Su Zhou any mind; it was already preparing to exert its power and shred Su Zhou’s body with its long spears. But in the next instant, Su Zhou gave the Wind God its answer through his actions.

The answer, naturally, was to Call Wind and Summon Thunder!

Instantly, under Su Zhou’s full control, terrifying, web-like serpents of lightning erupted within the rain clouds, which were already roiling with friction. The flashing Thunder Light seemed alive as it snaked and coiled through the cloud layer. Then, with a flash bright enough to illuminate the heavens and the earth, it all converged on the location of the Blade of Annihilation!

It was a fact even a three-year-old knew: don’t carry metal objects outside during a thunderstorm!

BOOM! An endless torrent of Thunderbolt surged down the Blade of Annihilation, gathering and conducting directly into the Wind God’s body. The impact wrung a silent, tragic shriek from the god—but the blow was far from enough to kill a former Divine Being of the Near-God Tier. In its excruciating pain, it unleashed its greatest power. The gale converged into the long spear in the Wind God’s arm, becoming like the sharpest of blades. It sliced through Su Zhou’s flesh, bisecting the Wingless Great Dragon at the torso and sending a massive spray of blood bursting into the air!

Yet at that same moment, Su Zhou unleashed his own strongest attack!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A Spiritual Power reaction akin to an explosion was gathering in Su Zhou’s mouth. The Spiritual Powers of the four elements—thunder, fire, wind, and water—churned within the laughing Demon Dragon’s maw. This mad dragon, with its spine for a cannon barrel and its mouth for a muzzle, was ready to unleash its final Breath.

BOOM—CRACKLE CRACKLE—!!

Water Assistance amplified the thunder, thunder amplified the wind, and wind amplified the fire—The crystal-like fins on his back flashed in sequence with blue, cyan, purple, and white Spiritual Light. The immense energy density ignited the very air, producing a strange, piercing shriek. Finally, Su Zhou’s power transformed into a chaotic, plasma-like Breath that engulfed the Wind God’s compound eyes and head, annihilating them completely.

In that instant, a colossal electromagnetic Burst, mixed with the vast energy of the thunderclouds, erupted in a flash of light that far outshone any lightning.

This dazzling, immaculate, pure light shattered all Dark. Wind, fire, and Thunderbolt—all other light and flames were suppressed, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
