His hands weren't protected by the same thick scales as his body, and the dark elements immediately began to corrode them. "Ah!!" Arius cried out in pain.
All of this was within Liu Ziming's plan, and then Liu Ziming's figure flashed.
The next second, it was behind Arius. "Boom!"
In that brief moment, the lightning magic that had been accumulating in the air for a long time suddenly descended, like a divine punishment, bursting out with the roar of cannons, like a purple dragon falling vertically.
Arius's scales were already slowly regenerating, and caught off guard by this sudden attack, he was slammed heavily onto Arius. "Crack!!"
The once incredibly tough blood-red scales had been almost completely corroded, and were now slowly recovering. Although the recovery speed was fast, it was not as fast as Liu Ziming's attack frequency.
The lightning struck, blasting cracks into the scales that had partially recovered.
The areas without scales remained charred ruins. "Ah!!!"
Arius let out another painful roar.
The giant ape was utterly shocked. Arius had screamed twice in just a few minutes. Could Liu Zimo really kill Arius?
The giant ape's eyes were filled with shock; he felt that his thoughts were somewhat unbelievable.
Meanwhile, the lightning within the clouds had not dissipated and was still in dire need of power.
Just as Arius's attention shifted to the lightning, four long ice spears struck him almost simultaneously.
Under the extreme manipulation of the wind element, the moisture in the air was condensed into ice spears.
Four ice spears pierced the gaps in Arius's armor with deadly accuracy. "Ah!!!"
Arius cried out in pain again, "I'll kill you!!!"
Arius looked at Liu Ziming with eyes that could practically drip with tears.
Looking at Arius's expression, Liu Ziming laughed: "Does shouting make a difference?"
Arius was enraged, and strange symbols were imprinted on the sky, making the blood mist even more bizarre.
He circulated his qi and blood, transforming it into a long sword. He slowly straightened up and charged towards Liu Ziming. The long sword formed from his blood qi was incredibly powerful and domineering. With a single slash, the space itself seemed to be torn apart.
Similarly, his body was emitting a roar, and streams of red blood flowed out.
That was his primal power; the instant his blood-red longsword attacked Liu Zimo, he began frantically repairing his armor.
He knew that without the protection of his scales, he would have a hard time blocking Liu Ziming's magical sneak attacks.
However, just as he was shaking his blood and qi, and his surging power instantly repaired his physical body, intending to tear Liu Zimo apart, the originally blood-red space suddenly turned black.
(cibj) The next second.
Everyone was shocked.
The giant ape was also stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief.
How many more tricks does Liu Ziming have up his sleeve? The giant ape was utterly shocked.
The most shocked was Arius. Arius looked up at the sky, where the sea of lightning had disappeared and the thunder magic was gone.
It crashed down on him...
These stars exude a terrifying pressure; this is the power of the stars.
At this moment, Liu Ziming stood in mid-air, looking coldly at Arius in front of him. It was as if he were a god general who controlled all the stars in the sky, strategizing and invincible.
He transformed into human form, his five fingers spread wide, and the star trembled slightly, as if summoned by something. With a rumbling sound, it pressed down on Arius.
However, this was just the beginning. Arius's senses were extremely sharp, and what shocked him even more was what Liu Ziming had done after he spread out his five fingers.
Following that star, another star descended to suppress it.
Having controlled two stellar powers in succession, Liu Ziming had clearly reached his limit.
Liu Ziming pointed both fingers to the sky, his blood and qi surging forth. Thousands of silver-white threads coiled around his fingertips, instantly reaching the clouds and shaking the ethereal curtains, tearing through the clouds and condensing into a gigantic palm, a full hundred meters long. The palm pierced through the clouds in an instant.
Before the meteorite struck, the sky pressed down, and after much planning, all the methods were unleashed at this moment.
The large, negative pressure trapped Arius first, and the hard spider silk seemed to come alive as it rushed towards Arius.
Arius shook the void, tearing a piece of spider silk as he tried to break free. "Kitty, now's the time to close the net!!"
Liu Ziming knew the spider silk could only bind him for a short while, but that would be enough. Suddenly, he shouted. The cat understood; it had been waiting for this moment all along: "Spatial Transfer!"
The next second, the space around Arius was filled with spatial runes, and he was about to be teleported away.
"What?" Arius exclaimed in shock.
The giant ape was equally shocked.
They hadn't expected Liu Ziming to have such a hidden method.
With a flash of light, the cat made no mistake, and Arius was transferred to the birdcage.
As soon as Arius entered the birdcage, he sensed something was wrong; the spider silk here was even more dangerous than before.
However, before he could react, a surge of evil divine power was injected into the birdcage.
In an instant, the birdcage launched an attack, its spider silk transforming into a rain of arrows that shot towards Arius.
At that moment, Arius felt despair...
At the same time, in Liu Ziming's mind: [Congratulations, host, the Despair Feast has been activated. You have gained a wisp of evil god power and three points of spiritual energy.]
Liu Ziming was overjoyed. He had already suffered a great loss by consuming three strands of evil god power, but he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain...
Chapter 298 Desperate Arius!
However, all of this was just an appetizer in Liu Ziming's eyes. Clearly, he was already determined to kill, and the price of expending the power of three evil gods was not just to win respect.
He set his sights on Arius's physical body; the mere fact that one could become a Demon General based on physical strength alone was clearly a huge gain.
This is nothing like some seventh or eighth-tier monsters. Not only does it provide a huge boost to his experience, but it also represents a fundamental leap in the improvement of cats, slimes, Qingfeng Yinggong Qiaoman, Ahri, and the Seven-Colored Deer. Who knows, cats and Ahri, who are at the fifth tier, might be able to directly rise to the sixth tier, or even higher.
This is what Liu Ziming values.
At this moment, Arius, trapped in the birdcage, had no idea that while he was struggling against the cage, Liu Ziming was already calculating his value after death.
Boom! Crack! Crack!
Arius once again condensed his blood and qi into a blood-red katana, which clashed with the spider silk.
The sound reverberated continuously, and with the protection of the blood-red katana, the divine spider silk could not harm him for the time being.
Arius, who had been in despair, finally had a chance to catch his breath. He hovered high in the sky, taking the opportunity to gather his strength. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at Liu Ziming with boundless hatred, as if he were Liu Ziming's father's killer, and he would fight to the death.
If he manages to escape, he will absolutely not let Liu Ziming off easily and will personally and cruelly kill him.
Even if the Demon King gave the order, he would not hesitate, even if it cost him his life!
This shows the immense hatred that Arius felt for Liu Ziming at this moment.
However, the more he hated Liu Ziming, the happier Liu Ziming was.
Sensing Arius's overwhelming negative emotions, Liu Ziming's mind was filled with a constant barrage of notifications: [Ding! Sensing the overwhelming hatred emanating from a ninth-tier demon, host's mental strength +3.]
[Ding! Sensing the overwhelming hatred from a ninth-tier demon, host's mental strength +2.]
[Ding! Sensing the overwhelming hatred from a ninth-tier demon, host's mental strength +5.]
[Ding! Sensing the overwhelming hatred from a ninth-tier demon, host's mental power +...] "Tsk tsk tsk... Shout louder, does shouting make a difference?"
This time, Liu Ziming was looking at Arius with a mocking expression from the air, their positions completely reversed from before.
Outside the birdcage, Liu Ziming remained as arrogant as ever, looking down on everyone. "Monkey, help me break this birdcage!"
Inside the birdcage, Arius found that all his attacks were in vain, so he had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask the giant ape for help.
The giant ape was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, unsure of what to do.
At this moment, Liu Ziming's gaze also swept towards him, still icy cold.
The giant ape knew it was time for it to make its own choice.
He had tried to persuade Liu Ziming to stop several times, but each time he opened his mouth, he saw Liu Ziming's sharp gaze and didn't know what to do.
Clearly, he understood Liu Ziming better than Arius, and had done a lot of preparation work about Liu Ziming in advance.
He's not stupid; the fact that he became the Demon King's right-hand man clearly demonstrates his extraordinary abilities.
Liu Ziming is someone even the Demon King values, someone who would be considered a partner. If you don't get to know someone like that, how will you deal with him in the future?
At this moment, he realized that Liu Ziming had already decided to kill Arius. If he tried to persuade him, he would be forcing Liu Ziming to break with them.
Its mission is to invite Liu Ziming to meet the Demon King. If sacrificing Arius in exchange for Liu Ziming's friendly attitude seems like a loss, it is actually not a loss.
Moreover, the astute man had already realized that Liu Ziming was clearly more valuable in the Demon King's eyes.
Just who is Liu Ziming? To be remembered by the Demon King at only the eighth rank is an unparalleled honor. In a split second, the giant ape thought of many things, and finally chose to stand beside Liu Ziming. He said, "I didn't see anything."
After hearing this, Liu Ziming breathed a sigh of relief. If the giant ape chose to help Arius, he would retreat with the cat and the others without hesitation.
For no other reason than this battle showed him where his limits were.
It might be able to handle one mid-level ninth-tier expert, but even if two of them fought to the death, it would have no chance of winning.
now………
"Giant Ape, you...you're using this as an excuse for personal revenge! If anything happens to me, the Demon King will not forgive you!" (Requesting flowers.)
Arius was filled with despair and anger upon hearing this, and at this moment he was somewhat exasperated.
Arius roared madly, the eerie crimson light on his body gradually dimmed, all his blood and qi power was compressed within his body and ignited in an instant, he actually burned his blood and qi potential.
Arius's body was shrinking and withering away, but the eerie red color grew brighter and brighter.
These crimson blood energies coalesced into a surging torrent of blood energy, which flew out from the surrounding heaven and earth and converged on Arius in the air, finally forming a golden pill of blood energy in front of him.
Arius swallowed the golden pill in one gulp, and his aura suddenly surged.
This is his last trump card.
This golden elixir contained almost all the essence of his blood and qi. He was fighting desperately, launching two attacks until he died.
In an instant, the terrifying blood energy that had directly entered his body exploded, producing a continuous roar.
He roared incessantly, almost bursting the space.
A series of booming sounds echoed continuously inside the birdcage.
The blood-red longsword grew larger and larger as soon as it was exposed to the wind.
