Ch 96: First Battle with the Otherworlder
Next, it took out a Silver Soul Orb, steeled itself, and put it in. However, the intelligence testing device still didn’t react at all.
“Am I that intelligent?”
The Lizard Commander was a little surprised, but more than that, it felt complacent about its high intelligence.
It didn’t pause, and took out a Gold Soul Orb. After hesitating for a moment, it gritted its teeth and put it into the machine.
However, the intelligence testing device still didn’t react at all, as silent as a dead object.
The Lizard Commander was stunned. It looked at the machine in front of it and asked in confusion, “Is the machine broken?”
A trace of ridicule and sarcasm flashed in Chu Qiu’s eyes. With quick eyes and hands, he put the intelligence testing device into his Storage Space and said, “It’s not broken… it’s just that your intelligence is too low…”
The Lizard Commander finally understood that it had been tricked. It roared angrily, its eyes filled with killing intent: “You’re courting death!”
Chu Qiu was not afraid at all, and looked at the Lizard Commander and said: “Indeed, Otherworlders are all dirty reptiles, sewer maggots, brainless bastards!”
“Boy, today is your doomsday!”
The Lizard Commander heard this and was furious. Its deep and hoarse voice was like a call from hell.
Chu Qiu snorted coldly, without saying a word of nonsense, and gently patted Diting’s back.
Diting let out a low and powerful roar, and its muscles instantly tensed up in the roar.
A fierce look flashed in the Lizard Commander’s eyes, and it suddenly leaped forward. Its hands were like two sharp blades, taking Chu Qiu’s vitals with a whistling sound.
Chu Qiu, however, didn’t panic and instantly generated a shield flickering with Netherworld Light around himself.
The attack landed on the shield, splashing a burst of sparks, like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing any damage.
At the same time, Diting pounced on the unwillingly roaring Lizard Commander like a black lightning bolt.
Two powerful forces collided fiercely in the air, making a deafening roar. The surrounding rubble splashed in all directions under the powerful impact, and dust flew, obscuring the sky.
The anger in the Lizard Commander’s heart burned like a volcano. Diting also knew that the opponent’s strength should not be underestimated, so it didn’t hold back at all from the beginning, and launched an all-out attack.
Their movements were agile and swift, and every confrontation seemed to tear the world apart. The air was filled with a strong bloody and murderous aura.
Diting’s whole body was instantly enveloped in an increasingly intense Netherworld Flames. Accompanied by a deafening roar, sound waves and flames erupted together, forming an unstoppable storm that swept towards the Lizard Commander.
In the center of the storm, Netherworld Flames condensed into sharp claw shapes, and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed with destructive power, pointing directly at its vitals.
The Lizard Commander’s face changed slightly, and it quickly summoned vines and thorns, trying to block Diting’s attack.
However, the power of the Netherworld Flames was too powerful. The vines and thorns were ignited the moment they came into contact with the flames, turning into a sea of raging fire.
“Boy, you have successfully angered this prince!”
Seeing this, the Lizard Commander let out an unwilling roar, and its size instantly doubled.
Transforming into a giant lizard, its attack power, defense power, and speed were greatly improved.
It suddenly opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and bit towards Diting’s neck, trying to reverse the situation.
Diting moved to the side, cleverly dodging the Lizard Commander’s fatal blow.
At the same time, it stretched out its sharp claws, and with a fierce force, grabbed fiercely at the Lizard Commander’s abdomen.
“Chila!”
Although the Lizard Commander’s leather armor was extremely hard, its abdomen was cut open with a long gash under Diting’s sharp claws, and blood spurted out.
The Lizard Commander roared miserably in pain. It waved its claws angrily, attacking Diting frantically, trying to vent the anger in its heart.
Diting was not afraid at all, and engaged in a more intense hand-to-hand combat with the Lizard Commander. Every blow contained the power to shake mountains and rivers.
Through the Soul Link, Chu Qiu could clearly perceive Diting’s physical state and emotional fluctuations.
“The left brain is responsible for thinking, and the right brain attacks what the left brain thinks, let Master add some ingredients for you!”
Two black shadows quietly emerged behind him, and then quickly solidified, turning into the Underworld Envoys Xie Bi’an and Fan Wujiu, who led the Netherworld Ghosts to form the Netherworld Battle Formation.
Although the ghosts’ attack power was not strong, they were superior in number and could cause intermittent explosions. Coupled with Diting’s powerful attacks, the Lizard Commander was forced to retreat.
At this time, Diting once again used the “Netherworld Storm Shock Claw”. This time, its attack was even more violent. Netherworld Flames swept towards the Lizard Commander like a storm, firmly enveloping it.
The Lizard Commander roared painfully under the scorching of the Netherworld Flames. Its leather armor was scorched black by the flames, and the wounds continued to expand, and blood stained the surrounding land red.
It tried to break free from the shackles of the Netherworld Flames, but in the face of this destructive power, its struggle seemed so weak.
Seeing this, Chu Qiu unhesitatingly performed Soul Fusion with Diting, perfectly combining his own power with Diting’s power.
Chu Qiu felt the surging power in his body, took a deep breath, and suddenly punched the Lizard Commander.
This punch contained all the power and will of him and Diting, and its power was extremely astonishing.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, the Lizard Commander was heavily blasted out by this punch. After rolling a few times in the air, it fell heavily to the ground.
It kept spitting out blood and fragments of internal organs from its mouth. Obviously, it had been severely injured, and the fire of life was rapidly extinguishing.
“The great Lizard Clan prince will not lose to you lowly creatures!”
The Lizard Commander did not give in. It gritted its teeth and struggled to stand up with all its strength. Its eyes, full of resentment and unwillingness, seemed to pierce through Chu Qiu.
Indeed, it underestimated Chu Qiu and was too confident, so it fell into a disadvantage, but this did not mean that it would admit defeat.
It quickly formed hand seals, chanting ancient incantations in its mouth, and every word contained mysterious power.
Behind it, two huge Exotic Beasts – Shadow Lizard and Light Lizard – appeared. They were its most powerful Contracted Beasts and its most loyal partners.
The Shadow Lizard was pitch black, like a ghost in the night. It approached Chu Qiu and Diting silently, preparing to give them the most sudden and fatal assassination.
The Light Lizard was the opposite. It exuded a soft light, and condensed bright Orbs of Light in its claws, constantly throwing them at Chu Qiu and Diting like shooting stars.
Each Orb of Light contained powerful energy, and the light and shock waves generated during the explosion were frightening.
Diting once again used the “Netherworld Storm Shock Claw”. The black Netherworld Flames swept out like a storm, trying to engulf both the Shadow Lizard and the Light Lizard.
However, the Shadow Lizard relied on its almost perfect stealth ability to flexibly dodge Diting’s attack like a ghost.
The Light Lizard used the explosive power of the Orbs of Light to continuously weaken the power of the Netherworld Flames, greatly reducing the effectiveness of Diting’s attack.
