Chapter 128: Substitute
Feeling the earth shaking under her feet, Chu Wuyao had to tighten her legs in order to prevent herself from falling to the ground as a result of the aftermath.
When the earth calmed down, Chu Wuyao raised her head wanting to see what happened, only to discover that at the place of the collision between the golden light and Xu Zian, a huge cloud composed of debris and dust had appeared, making it impossible.
This huge cloud was somewhat similar to another thing that Chu Wuyao had seen in her past life, resembling the impact of a nuclear weapon, albeit at a smaller scale.
This was clear evidence of the golden light's power, seemingly enough to wipe out everything in thousands of meters around it.
Just when Chu Wuyao was observing this scene, an old man appeared out of nowhere and flashed in front of the cloud, before waving the scepter in his hand.
As if in response, the huge cloud made out of debris and dust flew away, as if there was an invisible hand controlling it.
Soon, cloud disappeared and the scene became clear again.
"Huh?", Hayden frowned when he saw the result of his attack.
He could see that although the strange bloody giant had disappeared, there was still some of its aura remaining, coming from the sea of blood below.
"It's no wonder that that person has given orders to everyone saying that we should work together to annihilate all of the extraterrestrial demons as soon as possible.", he whispered.
Hayden could see that even though this extraterrestrial demon was strong, its power had still not reached the Holy Realm, only being very close to it.
Yet, it was still able to survive his attack.
One had to know that the difference between the Holy Realm and the realms below was huge, unable to be bridged by pure talent.
Just as Hayden was deep in thought, the sea of blood on the ground started to squirm suddenly and at its very center, drops of blood gathered, forming a bloody giant.
The giant's height had decreased and its aura was slightly weaker, but it looked exactly the same like the previous one, as if it had never died.
"How weird...", Hayden muttered as he saw this scene, but he soon calmed down his violent emotions.
"If one attack can't wipe you out, then two will do the trick. If two are not enough, then three.", Hayden said and immediately after, he waved the golden scepter in his hand and countless weapons made out of light appeared in front of him.
These weapons included swords, sabers, spears, axes, halberds, needles, whips, etc..
Every object that could be used as a weapon had seemingly appeared in the sky and then, as if they had received a command, rushed flew towards the bloody giant.
Although Xu Zian had lost his sanity and could not think, his body still acted according to his instincts.
When the weapons made out of light appeared, his intuition warned him of danger, warning him that they were a threat to him.
"Roaar!"
Xu Zian roared towards the sky and with a thought, he controlled the blood in the sea of blood around him to fly towards his hand, gathering together to increase its size even further.
Then, like a beast that was using just its pure physical prowess to fight, he punched forward, meeting the weapons in the air.
"Boom!"
A loud noise spread as Xu Zian managed to defend against the attack, but before he could relax, Hayden waved his scepter again, creating another torrent of weapons.
The next moment, these weapons rushed towards bloody giant, falling like a barrage.
****
Although Chu Wuyao was quite far away, with her strength, she was still able to observe the fight that was taking place in the distance.
It was said to be a fight, but in fact, it was more like an one-sided beating.
Under Chu Wuyao's eyes, the old man casually waved his scepter continuously, creating weapons and attacking Xu Zian, constantly suppressing him.
From time to time, the weapons made out of light would land on Xu Zian and destroy his body, only for more blood to flow out of the sea of blood and gather together into a new body.
The two seemed to have reached a stalemate, but Chu Wuyao could see that each time Xu Zian's body reassembled, the sea of blood would get a little thinner.
This meant that not only did the sea of blood's expansion stop, but it was also shrinking at a very fast speed.
"It seems that the situation has been decided.", Chu Wuyao thought and couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief.
Even though she wasn't willing to personally step forward to stop him, Chu Wuyao would of course prefer it if Xu Zian was stopped.
After all, having lost control and being able to increase his strength through absorbing other creatures, Xu Zian was bound to be a threat to every single creature in this world, including her.
Just as Chu Wuyao was about to lay down on the ground to recover, a tentacled creature suddenly appeared in front of her, its tentacles flapping around playfully.
"Master...we have discovered...another person...", Whisperer spoke in a hoarse voice that rung in her ears.
Hearing its words, Chu Wuyao became a little surprised.
Even though she had previously ordered her summons to stay in this area and monitor everything that happened, she had done so just in case, never expecting that they would actually find someone.
After all, being able to bear the aftermath of the fight in the distance meant that one had to be quite strong, but such a person would never come to this place and would instead run away as soon as they noticed that something was wrong.
With this in mind, Chu Wuyao felt that there was something fishy going on.
As her thoughts drilled into Whisperer's body, an image flashed in Chu Wuyao's mind, of a figure running in the darkness.
