Chapter 596 Cold-Blooded and Ruthless.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, die! Brutal Ring Light Cannon!"
The serpent-headed, bull-bodied beastman unleashed its most prized skill. Two beams of light, as thick as bowls, flashed green from its two dragon horns, diagonally enveloping Xuan Mo.
As the beams grew larger, energy accumulated, a seemingly destructive, tearing-all-out rage surging and swirling within, before unleashing a devastating attack.
The serpent-headed, bull-bodied beastman, grinning maliciously, saw Xuan Mo as a fish on its chopping block, completely at its mercy.
"Annihilation Devouring Light!"
Just as the serpent-headed, bull-bodied beastman smugly believed its Brutal Ring Light Cannon would explode precisely where Xuan Mo stood, turning him into scattered fragments, Xuan Mo immediately activated his fourth soul skill, unleashing a direct confrontation!
Clearly, the serpent-headed, bull-bodied beastman was wrong. Xuan Mo, possessing the Gluttonous Martial Soul and recognized by several Dragon Kings, was far more formidable than it imagined.
The moment the two attacks collided, a cloud of dust and a halo of light appeared. When the dust and light dissipated, the sinister smile on his lips froze.
Although Xuan Mo's purple beam of light had vanished, Xuan Mo himself stood there like a mountain, unmoved, without a trace of being attacked.
"I didn't expect him to be so strong!"
The dragon-headed bull-bodied beastman, who had originally intended to deal with Mu Lin, felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that this person was not to be trifled with. After all, the Tyrannical Ring Light Cannon was his specialty, and from the information he had gleaned from the evil soul master, he knew that the attack this little guy had just unleashed was definitely not his strongest. Because he had clearly seen that attack was only ranked fourth.
But what did this matter to the calamity-ridden, bull-bodied beastman? Regaining his senses, he seemed insulted, letting out a hysterical roar of rage.
At that moment, his skin turned a dark purple, and his pupils became blood-red, appearing utterly eerie.
As the calamity-ridden, bull-bodied beastman unleashed an ice dragon, Xuan Mo immediately felt a dense, eerie aura rapidly envelop him, giving him the illusion of falling into an ice cellar. He also discovered that his speed had been subtly reduced.
Faced with such a bizarre attack from the calamity-ridden, bull-bodied beastman, Xuan Mo dared not be careless. But the ice dragon was approaching with incredible speed, so he activated his "Gluttonous Battle Body," hastily throwing a punch!
Although the calamity-ridden, bull-bodied beastman was enormous and appeared clumsy, its reactions were anything but slow, and its strength was certainly not weak.
Seeing that Xuan Mo had engaged in a direct confrontation and remained motionless, the calf-headed, bull-bodied beastman did not relax. His scarlet eyes flashed, and his hands, which had turned from dark purple to bright red, were raised to the sky. His entire body arched, and what followed was…
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…"
Streaks of red flame appeared, transforming into a rain of fire that swept down upon everyone with a sharp whooshing sound.
Among them were Mu Lin, Xuan Mo, and his own subordinates. Clearly, he didn't value their lives.
"You're a cruel madman!"
Xuan Mo roared in shock and anger, worried that even with Mu Lin's formidable defense, he would struggle to survive the combined attack of the fire rain and the beastmen.
So, with a wave of his hands, the earth suddenly rose, forming a barrier and even turning the air currents in front of the fire rain into a shield, intending to block the entire rain of fire.
However, it must be said that the dragon-headed, bull-bodied beastman was indeed powerful; at least, the sheer volume of his aura far surpassed Xuanmo's.
The fiery rain of attacks slammed into the shields and massive barriers, producing no loud noise, yet gradually eroding their defenses. When two of the attack lines shattered, a small portion of the fire rain remained, still carrying immense power, and hurtled towards Xuanmo, Mulin, and the beastmen.
Just as Xuanmo was about to step in to block the attacks for Mulin, Mulin stopped him. He let out a loud laugh and roared, "Brother Mo, are you underestimating us?!"
With that, he activated his Martial Soul True Body.
Seeing this, Xuanmo understood Mulin's meaning. He ignored him, simply shattering the fire rain aimed at him and resuming his battle with the dragon-headed, bull-bodied beastman.
As for Mulin, he swept his thick dragon tail away again, simultaneously aiming his dragon mouth at the fire rain.
With a flash of diamond light, then…
"Shining Meteor Shower!"
The collision of the meteor shower and the fire rain, coupled with the formidable defense of Mulin's diamond dragon scales, meant that Mulin was unharmed except for some charred skin.
However, the orcs were a different story. Xuanmo and Mulin had no intention of saving them, and many were instantly killed by the fire rain from the serpent-headed bull -bodied orc.
Mulin seized the opportunity presented by the orcs' heavy casualties, fully unfurling his diamond dragon wings. Faint bolts of lightning coiled around his tail, and using it as a mace, he drew a crescent-shaped arc in the air, unleashing a "Thunderous Strike" that slammed into the dark mass of orcs.
Its power was immense.
This attack wiped out another group.
"Heh, they're really unlucky to have you as their leader," Xuanmo said mockingly after cleaving the serpent-headed bull-bodied orc's attack with a single strike, constantly provoking him.
"Hmph! It's all worth it to complete the mission! Even if it means my own death!"
The words "cold-blooded" and "ruthless" flashed through Xuan Mo's mind, but his actions were anything but slow.
His sixth soul ring shone, and lightning transformed into a protective shield, enveloping Xuan Mo's body. Energy began to gather frantically around him, and tangible chains of lightning surged into the lightning sphere in Xuan Mo's palm.
This was another application of Xuan Mo's "Gluttonous Divine Lightning Tribulation," compressing the lightning to an extremely terrifying degree and concentrating it within the sphere.
"Ha!" Xuan Mo roared, his claws lashing out as the "Gluttonous Divine Lightning Tribulation," brimming with concentrated soul power and undergoing frantic compression, slammed directly into the chest of the dragon-headed bull-bodied beastman.
However, the dragon-headed bull-bodied beastman's eyes hardened; after merely making a simple defensive move at its chest, it charged straight at Xuan Mo.
"Boom!" The dragon-headed, bull-bodied beastman completely ignored the fact that Xuan Mo had nearly pierced his chest.
Instead, after licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, he howled and pounced on Xuan Mo, grabbing at his head and aiming straight for his brow.
"You're going to die!"
