"Himself!"
Lu Li was more confident now. The Deaf Taoist must be of a special race or a beast. But he had hidden it well, which was why the outside world did not know about him.
The nine universes belonged to humans. Once, over half of the beasts and other special races were slaughtered by humans and driven to the Paleo-beast Realm.
Back in the days, the beasts and humans held a deep grudge. If the Deaf Taoist's identity was exposed, he would not be able to survive in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
Lu Li did not discriminate against beasts and paleo-beasts. That being said, the Deaf Taoist wanted to kill him. Why would he show mercy?
Lu Li ordered the immortal's body, "Immortal's body, kill this gorilla!"
The word "gorilla" made the Deaf Taoist so angry that he spat out blood. In the distance, the immortal's body made a move. He dashed over like an arrow and punched at the Deaf Taoist's head.
"Roar!"
The Deaf Taoist swung his huge fist and punched at the immortal's body. His fist was surrounded by a dark air. Everywhere his fist passed by, the space would tremble, and the wind would howl.
"Boom ~"
The two fists, one big and one small, bumped into each other. The immortal's body was smashed away.
The Deaf Taoist was knocked back as well. The skin on his arm was cracked, and blood was spilling out. It was a horrifying sight.
"Well …"
Lu Li was taken aback. The Deaf Taoist could not believe what he had seen as well.
As far as Lu Li could tell, the immortal's body's attack was powerful. Not even warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm could survive one punch from the immortal's body. However, the Deaf Taoist only had a broken arm.
The Deaf Taoist was even more shocked. He seemed to have absolute confidence in his defense. How could he be hurt by the immortal's body in one punch?
The immortal's body did not react at all.
"Whoosh ~"
The immortal's body kept coming. He was so fast that the Deaf Taoist finally came to his senses. This time, he did not use his fist.
The Deaf Taoist's hand glowed as a yellowish stone column appeared. The stone column was one hundred feet long and had a diameter of one meter. It looked like a pillar that could prop up the sky.
A black iron chain was wrapped around the column. Instead of a yellowish glow, the column was surrounded by a dark air, giving it a spooky look.
The Deaf Taoist was over one hundred feet tall after the transformation. He held the stone column in his hand and swung it in the air. It was a shocking scene.
Bang!
The stone column and the immortal's body's fist collided. What surprised Lu Li was that the immortal's body was smashed away again, but … the stone column did not break!
"Impossible!"
The god corpse could even shatter Quasi God Artifacts and Ancestral Artifacts with a single punch.
The immortal's corpse punched the stone pillar, but nothing happened to it. Could it be that the stone pillar was a divine artifact?
Lu Li used psychic power to check but did not sense any divine might. Relic artifacts did have divine might.
What was more, all Relics had spirits. Lu Li did not sense any in this stone column.
"Xiu!"
The immortal's body kept on coming. However, before he could get close, he was smashed away by the Deaf Taoist.
The immortal's body did not have a soul. His method of attack was simple, which was to dash around and punch. The Deaf Taoist could predict the immortal's body's trajectory and knock him away.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
Every time the immortal's body came, the Deaf Taoist would smash the immortal's body away with the stone column.
After several attacks, the Deaf Taoist turned away from the immortal's body and turned to Lu Li.
"What?"
Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist looked into each other's eyes. Suddenly, Lu Li remembered the Dragon Demon's eyes.
Sensing the Deaf Taoist's energy, Lu Li's pupils contracted as he yelled, "You are not a paleo-beast or a special race. You are a beast from the Region of Doom!"
Paleo-beasts could not have such strong defense. The stone column was not a Relic, but it was strong nonetheless.
Also, the Deaf Taoist's energy was similar to that of the Dragon Demon, which was why Lu Li said so.
"Ha, ha, punk, you know a lot!
But … even with a Relic armor, you will still die today! "
The Deaf Taoist sneered. This time, his voice was not loud. Lu Li heard it directly.
The Deaf Taoist crossed the sky. His strong body was like a moving hill. He swung the stone column and smashed it at Lu Li. It was like a man trying to kill a fly.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Everywhere the stone column was at, space trembled. Lu Li tried to dodge to the sides. However, due to the instability of the space, his speed was slowed down.
He was like a small boat in the raging sea, struggling to move.
"Boom!"
The stone column smashed down and Lu Li was smashed into the ground. A huge pit appeared on the ground.
"Poof ~"
Lu Li spat out some blood. His eyes were filled with shock because he was injured by the powerful force.
The Relic armor could not stand the force of the stone column. His physical body was strong, and yet, he was injured so easily?
"Whoosh ~"
The stone column was lifted up and smashed down again. Lu Li felt the sky darkened. The stone column came down again. Lu Li used psychic power to check the inside of the Relic armor.
"Poof ~"
This time, he was injured again. Blood spilled out from his mouth. But he had a clear look.
As the stone column smashed down, a strand of dark air seeped into his body through the Relic armor, which was why he was injured.
"Bang!"
In the sky, the immortal's body flew over. The Deaf Taoist could no longer attack Lu Li. He had to smash the immortal's body away.
"Go —"
Naturally, Lu Li would not resign himself to fate and allow the Deaf Taoist to attack.
Lu Li was filled with killing intent. His eyes glowed red. He had used the Slayer's move.
Every time the Slayer's move was used, it would be intimidating. Winds and clouds would change. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth would swarm in from all sides. At once, the Deaf Taoist was suppressed.
"Swish ~"
A ray of blood-red sword light appeared and dashed toward the Deaf Taoist. The Deaf Taoist felt his vision turned red. He saw a world of blood.
"Boom!"
The blood-red ray of sword light landed on the Deaf Taoist's huge body. He was smashed away.
The black hair on his chest fell off. Blood was dripping down. There was a crack that was neither deep nor shallow.
"How, how …"
The Deaf Taoist's huge eyes were filled with astonishment. He stared at his chest and murmured in disbelief, "How is this possible?
How is this possible?
Punk, you are only at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm. How can you have such a powerful move?
Not even a skill from the Divinity can be so destructive. "
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li flew out from the pit. He was amazed by the Deaf Taoist's defense as well.
That being said, since the Slayer's move could injure the Deaf Taoist, and a serious one at that, Lu Li would win if the fight went on.
