Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: I Will Perish Together With You
In the face of a desperate situation, the Red Giant, whose power had surged explosively, was still no match for Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng effortlessly severed all ten of the Red Giant’s fingers.
The Red Giant let out a piercing scream, bordering on madness, his eyes blood-red as he looked at Xiao Zheng and shouted, "This is impossible!"
Just now, he clearly felt his power multiply several times in an instant, augmented by Demon Blood, making him far more powerful than before. Yet, why was it that even with his newfound strength, he couldn’t defeat Xiao Zheng?
How strong is the Evil God really?
In the distance, Long Qie and a group of Sky Net elites stood with their mouths agape in shock. Such a formidable, vicious Red Giant had been... defeated?
On the Red Giant’s battleship, all the Demon Blood Warriors were stunned as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.
They suddenly felt an instinctual fear, like lambs facing a lion.
Xiao Zheng, holding the Mystical Sky Battle Sword, walked towards the Red Giant, "Nothing is impossible. But don’t be too discouraged; forcing me to use seventy percent of my power is already quite an achievement."
The Red Giant, on the verge of collapse, suddenly calmed down and laughed maniacally, rushing towards Xiao Zheng, "Evil God, even if you are as powerful as a god, I want you to pay the price! If I can’t kill you, I’ll at least injure you.
Humph, within our Demon Shield Bureau, talents are numerous, S-class masters are as stars in the sky. No matter how powerful you are, you are still just one person!"
"A lion can never defeat a pack of wolves!"
Boom!
As the Red Giant charged at Xiao Zheng, a thunderous sound erupted from within him. Flames suddenly blazed from his skin, unbearably hot, and his aura was significantly stronger than before.
"I’m going to take you down with me!"
The Red Giant laughed maniacally, his eyes glinting with a madness that made one’s heart race, and suddenly spread his arms to embrace Xiao Zheng. Meanwhile, his body began to swell, as if inflated, growing larger and larger.
"This is bad!"
The always calm and composed Xiao Zheng’s expression changed dramatically, panic rising up.
"The Red Giant is about to self-destruct!"
Xiao Zheng instantly grasped the Red Giant’s intention.
The so-called self-destruction was something Xiao Zheng only began to understand after reaching the level of a Martial Saint.
The Gang Qi within one’s body, once it transformed into Gang Liquid, became extremely concentrated and volatile. With a certain technique, it could be made to boil in a very short time, then explode with earth-shattering force.
This type of self-destruction is impossible for anyone below a Martial Saint’s level.
Only a Martial Saint can self-destruct.
This is one of the reasons why Martial Saints are revered by all; if pushed to the brink, a Martial Saint’s self-destruction could obliterate everything.
Xiao Zheng had not anticipated that the Red Giant would possess this ability!
"If he self-destructs here, this ship will definitely be obliterated, and neither Long Qie nor Sky Net’s warriors will survive."
Xiao Zheng knew this clearly.
In this critical moment, a look of resolve flickered in Xiao Zheng’s eyes as he discarded his Mystical Sky Battle Sword and roared. Instead of retreating as the Red Giant reached for him, Xiao Zheng advanced.
Boom!
The deck beneath Xiao Zheng’s feet exploded, propelling him like a cannonball into the Red Giant. Grabbing onto the Red Giant’s leg, Xiao Zheng laughed wildly, "If you want to go crazy, I’ll go with you!"
"What are you doing?" The Red Giant sensed that something was amiss.
Xiao Zheng didn’t reply. His Gang Qi suddenly boiled over, a massive force burst forth from him. In that instant, Xiao Zheng seemed to become a golden sun, and with the Red Giant in his grasp, leaped high, aiming for the Red Giant’s battleship.
"Damn it, let go, let go!" By this point, how could the Red Giant not realize Xiao Zheng’s purpose? If they landed on his battleship, every single one of the thousands of Demon Blood Warriors onboard would perish, not a single one could survive his self-destruction.
In mid-air, the Red Giant struggled violently, one leg kicking fiercely, trying to fling Xiao Zheng away, but Xiao Zheng’s arms were like iron, refusing to let go.
Boom!
The Red Giant and Xiao Zheng crashed onto the Demon Shield Bureau’s battleship, immediately creating a massive hole, causing the entire ship to shake violently as if struck by a tsunami.
By this time, the Red Giant was already in despair, but self-destruction could not be reversed. He looked down at Xiao Zheng, grinning grimly, "Even with all these losses, killing you makes it worthwhile!"
"You know, you wasted the most precious escape time! Hahaha, if you had decisively fled on Sky Net’s battleship, given your strength, I wouldn’t have been able to hurt you!"
"But you, like those women overwhelmed with compassion, rushed to save your subordinates. Heh, you delivered yourself into a dead end! Now you have no way to escape, too late!"
The Red Giant let out a fierce roar and his body swelled to the limit, then exploded with a blast, a dreadful energy spreading out like a storm centered on the Red Giant.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Crimson flames burst forth, surging into the sky, instantly engulfing the entire Demon Shield Bureau’s battleship. The raging flames painted the sky red, countless Demon Blood Warriors screamed within the flames, but moments later, they fell silent.
Spectacular, magnificent, tragic!
Long Qie and a group of Sky Net elites were dazed by the scene.
Each of them froze like statues.
What happened?
The Red Giant’s hideous roar still echoed in their ears. Xiao Zheng had a chance to escape, but chose to sacrifice himself alongside the Red Giant for them.
"Mr. Xiao!" Long Qie wailed, kneeling on the deck.
At that moment, he deeply hated himself for being so weak. His lord had died before his eyes! Yet, he was powerless.
"King..." The Sky Net elites wept bitterly, Xiao Zheng’s death shattered their spiritual world, breaking their mental support.
"Why are you crying? I’m not dead yet." Suddenly, amidst the mourning of the Sky Net crowd, a weak voice rang in their ears.
Long Qie and the others’ eyes widened instantly.
Then, they saw a nimble figure leap from the blazing sea ahead, soaring into the sky.
