Chapter 609: Chapter 598: The Body of Catastrophe

The Xiuluman enveloping Jin Kela’s body condensed into a gigantic black sphere several meters in diameter, floating mid-air. The black liquid formed densely packed faces on its surface, all emitting twisted, maniacal laughter at once.

"Finally... I’ve killed him, I killed him!"

Wen Wen’s brows were furrowed tightly; he didn’t believe that the Sanctuary’s Central Administrator could be taken down so easily. Yet he knew all too well just how corrosive the black liquid constituting Xiuluman’s body was.

The Demon Hunters all wore ugly expressions on their faces. They had just cheered at the arrival of a new True Order Realm ally, but they hadn’t expected this newly emerged expert to be taken down so easily. The shift from joy to sorrow made them want to curse out loud.

The Death Knight watched Xiuluman dispassionately, "Have you ever thought that one day, you would fall in such a way..."

Suddenly, the laughter from Xiuluman ceased abruptly, and the spherical body began to tremble violently.

"Impossible... why is he... still alive!"

In the next instant, a giant iron sword several meters in length pierced out from Xiuluman’s body, followed by iron spears, iron sabers, iron axes, Wolf Fang Clubs...

Dozens of different weapons punctured Xiuluman’s body into a mess, like a massive sea urchin.

Then, those weapons began to spin rapidly and erratically, slashing at Xiuluman’s body so fast that even its rapid regeneration couldn’t keep up with the speed of the cuts.

It let out an agonized howl in terror as its body split once again into countless black liquid droplets, staining everything around it black.

The black liquid slowly coalesced into form, only the size of an exercise ball now, and trembling, it did not dare face Xiuluman any longer; it fled to the Death Knight’s side for shelter.

One by one, the weapons retracted, and Jin Kela stood unscathed on the spot, looking at Xiuluman with contempt.

Even though Jin Kela had lost his Catastrophe-Level strength, his body was still genuinely a Catastrophe-Level vessel. Among Catastrophe-Level experts, very few possessed a body as powerful as his.

Not to mention a mere True Order Realm monster, even a genuine Catastrophe-Level would struggle to injure Jin Kela.

Now that Xiuluman was no longer a threat, Jin Kela turned his head, glanced at the Death Knight and asked, "Do you also want to fight me?"

The Death Knight’s helmet obscured any expression, but the turbulent black Qi surging around him was a clear indicator of his unsettled emotions.

He had not expected that even with only True Order Realm power, Jin Kela would remain so unfathomably strong.

With a raspy voice, the Death Knight said, "I admit, even though your power has waned, I’m still no match for you. But you have indeed grown weaker..."

"A weakened you is akin to a signal, a signal that you are no longer to be feared. We will meet again, and next time it won’t be just me!"

The Death Knight released a cloud of black smoke, enveloping Xiuluman, and then a black dragon took flight, grabbing the white wild beast and the Fishmen. It soared towards the sky.

When reaching the edge of the Barrier, the Death Knight lifted his long spear, and his arm became a blur. In a single breath, he thrust countless spears, each one striking a precise point.

The massive Barrier could not withstand such forceful attacks; it shattered with a thunderous crash, and the black dragon carried the monsters away into the distance.

The Death Knight always had the capability to break the Barrier; he’d simply stayed hidden to avoid drawing the Hunters Association’s attention and to not give the Tiger-like Tribes a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Jin Kela did not pursue them; in the end, he only wanted to repel these people. His main mission was to complete the Hunters Association’s collaboration, and aiding Wen Wen was simply a byproduct.

These individuals would become enemies of the Sanctuary in the future, but Jin Kela preferred to let Wen Wen deal with these foes himself.

Seeing the Death Knight break the barrier and fly away, Eightfold’s face underwent a dramatic change, "This is bad, the barrier has been broken, and the tiger-like creatures will escape from it."

Among the tiger-like tribes, there were not only infected terrestrial creatures, but also some winged tiger-like beasts that could escape through the sky now that the barrier was shattered.

Those that escaped had full capability to spread the Tiger Plague in the outside world—if not dealt with promptly, another tragedy could occur!

Jin Kela reassured Eightfold, "Demon Hunter sir, please don’t worry too much, the ability of these tiger-like creatures to infect other species comes from this white tiger..."

Eightfold turned his gaze towards the Mother Yu Changhu, his eyes full of fierce light, "That means..."

"That means, as long as we kill her, the power of those escaped tiger-like creatures will greatly weaken, and they will be incapable of infecting humans into tiger-like creatures," Jin Kela answered with a smile.

The Hunter Association was handling the tiger-like incident together as an agreement reached between Wen Wen on behalf of Black Cross and the Hunters Association, so Jin Kela prepared to do his utmost to fulfill this cooperation.

As soon as Jin Kela made his appearance, he frightened off the powerful Death Knight and the bizarre Xiuluman, leaving both Jin Dahuo and the Mother Yu Changhu as uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles.

With the Death Knight and Eightfold from different factions mixed in battle, neither could handle both—it was out of the question with Jin Kela joining Eightfold.

Once battle broke out, the two of them could quickly be blocked, hence the resolute look on Jin Dahuo’s face.

"Mother, you go first, I will block them! Ow!"

Jin Dahuo, already shining with Jin Guang, became even brighter, like a giant golden light bulb shaped like a tiger; his aura also grew more frantic and restless.

This was Jin Dahuo’s last resort—within three minutes, whether it was strength, speed, or the energy within his body, everything would double, significantly bolstering his power.

But after three minutes, Jin Dahuo would weaken to the brink of death. Using this move meant he absolutely couldn’t escape from the Hunters Association.

But as long as it enabled the Mother Yu Changhu to escape from this place, it would be worth it; he was willing to make this sacrifice.

In the face of Jin Dahuo’s sacrifice, the Mother Yu Changhu showed not a hint of sorrow but turned to flee without hesitation.

The very first tiger-like creature she had painstakingly raised, Jin Dahuo, existed to protect her safety. Now that he was sacrificing himself for her, it was only right.

Eightfold rushed towards the Mother Yu Changhu first, but Jin Dahuo became a streak of Jin Guang, blocking in front of him, and smacked Eightfold back with a swipe of his paw, the residual force cutting a building behind Eightfold in half.

Taking advantage of the moment, Jin Kela pursued from another direction, but Jin Dahuo quickly got in front of him. Now in this state, he was confident he could block two strong True-order Masters.

Unfortunately, Jin Kela was not of the same True Order as him, and faced with Jin Dahuo’s claw strike, Jin Kela’s metallic muscles bulged, clashing directly fist-to-claw with Jin Dahuo.

Their punch and claw met, the tremendous force shattering all the glass around them.

Jin Kela emerged unscathed, merely knocked back dozens of meters, crushing an advertising sign, while Jin Dahuo’s paw shattered, golden blood spilling on the ground; that front paw was now hardly capable of swinging again.

Jin Kela frowned slightly and said, "You can’t stop me."

Jin Dahuo, once again erupting in fury, swung his other paw towards Jin Kela and roared, "Even if I can’t stop you, I have to!"

Having decided to stay back and block Jin Kela and Eightfold, his sacrifice was already sealed; under such circumstances, how could he stop just because of an injury?
