MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again
Chapter 473 - 226: Suppression

Chapter 473: Chapter 226: Suppression

The outsiders might have surged in droves, but dispersed as they were, they were far from threatening.

Wandering through the deserted wilderness, Lu Hong did not let up on the Bloodthirst’s formidable power, he absolutely couldn’t relax it. The moment he deactivated the Bloodthirst’s power, he would lose his overwhelming advantage against the Third Transition powerhouses. Relying solely on physical techniques, he could easily be overwhelmed by their numbers—a desperate struggle of a trapped beast.

While Lu Hong was drifting about, the sky on the horizon erupted with thunder and lightning, an ominous spectacle.

As he looked up, he saw a bolt of yellow lightning heading straight for him.

Startled, Lu Hong unleashed his full Heavenly God descent.

As the magic immunity broke through the shell of the Magic Power, a gigantic saber-toothed tiger’s claw stabbed towards Lu Hong’s chest.

Fast, several times faster than Lu Hong himself.

With no time to react, an inch of the claw had already pierced into his body.

Without even a moment to feel pain, Lu Hong put all his effort into dodging, barely managing to protect his heart from being pierced through. The cost was his left chest completely torn apart by the saber-toothed tiger’s claw, blood spurting out.

Tumbling repeatedly, Lu Hong distanced himself a bit, the blood-colored ghost face on his back howling as it charged towards the saber-toothed tiger.

But the saber-toothed tiger Demon Beast couldn’t be bothered to even give it a glance, a light breath releasing powerful thunder that completely annihilated the blood-colored ghost face.

With the ghost face gone, it meant that the Bloodthirst’s power had been broken—the backlash surged to his heart, Lu Hong spat out another mouthful of blood, looking extraordinarily wretched.

Fortunately, the saber-toothed tiger Demon Beast did not continue to attack, otherwise Lu Hong feared he would have already become a ghost under its claws.

The hundred feet tall saber-toothed tiger looked down at the tiny Lu Hong and spoke human language, "Human, you’re quite good, managing to avoid my attack. It’s just a pity you won’t live much longer."

"Who are you?" Speaking human language, it definitely wasn’t an ordinary Demon Beast. Lu Hong kept his eyes alertly on the saber-toothed tiger, ready to fight at any moment.

"I am Ming Ling, the Demigod, Li Rong’s symbiotic partner."

A Shared Life Contract was a kind of equal contract, however with much higher restrictions than an equal contract. Literally, shared glory and shared loss. If Ming Ling died, Li Rong must die, and if Li Rong died, Ming Ling too would perish.

"You’re a Demigod Demon Beast?!" Lu Hong looked at the enormous saber-toothed tiger in front of him, a little incredulously. A Demigod, a Demigod, huh?

Fuck?! How did he end up provoking such a thing?

Lu Hong had seen God Realm Demon Beasts before, but not as adversaries. As for Demigod-level Demon Beasts, Lu Hong had encountered them too—the Burn Snake within the borders of the Umbra Nation, its strength utterly unparalleled.

Clearly, this Ming Ling possessed strength as formidable as the Burn Snake.

Whether Lu Hong could defeat it was obviously out of the question, he was no match even with the Bloodthirst power enabled. Now with Bloodthirst negated by Ming Ling, it was even more impossible.

Was he supposed to just wait for death if he couldn’t win? Clearly, that was not an option either.

During the brief exchange, Lu Hong had thought of many escape plans, yet not one of them was feasible.

Ming Ling was a Demigod-level thunder Beast, and Lu Hong had just experienced its speed that surpassed limits—escaping at that kind of velocity was absolutely impossible.

While Lu Hong was at his wit’s end, Ming Ling spoke up, "I can’t leave Li Rong for too long, it’s time for you to die."

As it said so, Ming Ling’s form surged violently, vanishing into thin air in front of Lu Hong.

Faster than before!

Was he going to die? Lu Hong was unwilling to accept this, but he had problems even capturing the opponent’s trace, let alone responding to it.

It was at this critical moment when the Slaughter Demon Armor forcefully made its way out of the Space Ring, positioning itself in front of Lu Hong’s chest.

With a piercing screech, Lu Hong was flung hundreds of meters by a massive impact, crashing heavily into the soil.

Ming Ling looked at its own fractured claw in bewilderment—what on earth was that just now?

"Hu hu~" Lu Hong crawled out of the pit, the shockwave just now had been tremendous, and even now Lu Hong was still dizzy, bleeding from all orifices.

At this time, the Artifact Spirit of the Slaughter Demon Armor wailed, "Boss, what did you do, how did you provoke a Demigod Demon Beast? Do you have a death wish or what?"

"Do you have a way to help me?" Ignoring the complaints, Lu Hong urgently asked, "If you have a way, hurry up. Otherwise, I’m going to die."

The Slaughter Demon Armor Artifact Spirit fell silent for a moment, then said, "How about you try kneeling and surrender to it? Call it daddy?"

"Screw your mom!" Lu Hong was speechless—what kind of ridiculous suggestion was that? Was this supposed to be a joke?

"How about you try that feather in the Space Ring?" The Slaughter Demon Armor Artifact Spirit spoke up again, "It seems rather extraordinary to me."

Feather? Reminded by the Slaughter Demon Armor Artifact Spirit, Lu Hong then remembered a feather given to him by Di Ti in the Endless Forest. That thing was certainly not powerful enough to summon Di Ti, but could it really be useful?

Ming Ling looked over its claw and slowly walked towards Lu Hong, "I didn’t expect you to actually have such astonishing defensive magic artifact, giving it to Li Rong to protect his life wouldn’t be bad. That way, I wouldn’t have to be constantly worried about him."

"You want to take my things to give to someone else?"

"Not taking your stuff," Spirit Echo corrected, "it’s the spoils of war."

"Heh, try to kill me before you say that," Lu Hong sneered. His consciousness dived into the Space Ring; now he could only gamble!

"This time, I won’t give you any more chances!" Spirit Echo was a bit annoyed too. Having failed to kill a Second Transition junior twice was a great loss of face for a demigod Demon Beast, and it had to be wiped clean!

In an instant, Spirit Echo disappeared again.

At the same time, Lu Hong also retrieved a golden feather from deep within the Space Ring.

With the appearance of the feather, Spirit Echo felt an instinctual fear deep in its soul.

The figure pouncing toward Lu Hong recoiled again and again, staring in terror at the feather in his hand, "What is that you’re holding?!"

"Heh, come at me if you dare!" Seeing the feather’s effect, Lu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You think a feather is enough to scare me?" Spirit Echo could tell the level of the feather’s owner, a true godly level, an entity even ten of it couldn’t defeat, "If it were here, I truly couldn’t do anything to you, but it can’t make it in time, right?"

"How can you be so sure it won’t arrive?" The only strategy now was to bluff.

"I can try," Spirit Echo evidently experienced, was not intimidated by Lu Hong’s threat, and overcame its instinctual fear to pounce at Lu Hong once more.

At this time, the feather seemed to have a spirit of its own, sensing Spirit Echo’s offense, and suddenly, the golden light flourished.

The feather in Lu Hong’s hand flew into the air automatically, reverting to its original hundred-zhang form, scattering golden light that seemed to wield endless power. Spirit Echo, constrained by the golden light, was like falling into a quagmire, struggling but unable to escape.

The hundred-zhang feather kept rising, the golden light gradually gathering to form the ten-thousand-zhang phantom of Di Ti, covering the heavens and the earth!

Even on Li Rong’s side, they could see this peerless scene.

"What... what is that?!" The strong practitioners of the Wild God Dao were shocked, even the Demon Beasts hiding in the Monster Space couldn’t escape this pressure, cowering on the ground, not daring to move rashly.

Li Rong’s face turned even paler, "A godly level Demon Beast?!"

Hearing the murmur, Aragon showed interest, getting up and wanting to head toward the phantom.

Li Rong quickly grabbed him, "Have you lost your mind? That’s a godly level Demon Beast!"

"No harm. I’ll just take a distant look. That phantom doesn’t seem solid; I believe I have some odds of surviving under its hand."

Aragon wanted to go, but the two guards under him disagreed, "Young master, the matriarch has instructed us not to let you put yourself in danger."

Aragon gave them an annoyed look, seemingly afraid of the matriarch the guards mentioned, and didn’t insist further.

Back to Lu Hong, as the phantom of Di Ti fully unfurled, Spirit Echo’s gaze turned to utter terror, "Di... Di... Lord Di Ti?!"

Speaking of Spirit Echo, it was also a Demon Beast that had escaped from the Endless Forest.

Li Rong had ventured into the Endless Forest in his early years, and by sheer luck encountered the seriously injured Spirit Echo. To survive, Spirit Echo chose to make a contract with Li Rong, clinging to life with his help.

Afterward, with Li Rong’s help, it left the Endless Forest and journeyed with Li Rong through the Star Sea, arriving in the vast domain.

Spirit Echo was not one of Di Ti’s Demon Beasts and therefore didn’t have a deep impression of Di Ti. Only after seeing the phantom of Di Ti did it fully recall the fear experienced in the Endless Forest.

Di Ti—the ruler of the Endless Forest, a true godly level Demon Beast.

"Lord Di Ti, I was wrong, I was wrong," even just the phantom made Spirit Echo lose all its fighting spirit, its indifferent and arrogant tone turning into pleading, "Please spare me."

Di Ti’s phantom possessed a sliver of its real body’s will, at that moment indifferently gazing at Spirit Echo, finally speaking after a long time, "You are originally one of my children from the Endless Forest, why did you travel far away? Have you forgotten the oath from back then?!"

"I had no choice. Lord Xiongni’s domain was too strong. Once it became enraged, we low-level Demon Beasts had no power to resist, only able to engage in mutual slaughter amidst endless confusion."

Hearing Spirit Echo’s grumbling, Di Ti’s expression softened gradually. What it said was not wrong; Xiongni’s domain led to indiscriminate killing, its subjects mostly ending up crazily killing each other after being affected, dying pointlessly, indeed Spirit Echo couldn’t be blamed too much.

"Fine, I will spare your life. However, the lord is not one you can offend. Apologize to him, pray for his forgiveness!" After finishing, Di Ti no longer maintained the phantom, turning back into a feather, and tucked itself into Lu Hong’s Space Ring.

As the golden light disappeared, Spirit Echo was freed from the quagmire, but now it looked at Lu Hong with full of wariness and fear.

Thinking of Di Ti’s words, Spirit Echo crawled on the ground, slowly approaching Lu Hong, head bowed humbly asking, "Please, lord, forgive my offense."

The demigod Demon Beast crisis passed, Lu Hong’s hanging heart finally settled back, "Hmph! You know fear now, huh!"

"Yes, yes, yes. This lowly beast was blind and offended the lord. I hope you can spare me this once. I would be eternally grateful!"

Spare it or not, what could Lu Hong do? Unable to defeat it, he said, "You were sent by Li Rong. Go back and tell him to make all the people from the Wild God Dao leave the God Realm and not to come back."

"I shall obey!"

"Scram!"

"Right away!"
