166. Chapter 166: The Crown Sword

  Beast Tamamonomae's pupils shrank sharply. She could feel that the magic power and spiritual foundation of the Heroic Spirit in front of her were not as good as hers, but the strong sense of threat he brought was like a thorn in her back.

The beast Tamamonomae's body was filled with magical power, and the beast's followers were constructed one by one, rising from the black mud and charging towards King Hassan.

"Go! What does the title matter to me when I have countless followers?!"

In the barrier of Beast Tamamonomae, the number of beast followers increased dramatically. In just a few seconds, tens of thousands of beast followers were generated, forming a beast tide that rushed towards King Hassan.

King Hassan looked at the beast followers approaching like a tide, placed his hands on the giant sword, and with a clear low hum, an invisible wave spread out.

"Dead souls of all beasts, return to sleep."

Invisible waves spread out, and in an instant, all the beast followers around King Hassan, whether they were running, flying, or diving, seemed to be restricted by time.

The beast's followers who were stilled quickly turned gray, and both their flesh and bones turned into ashes, leaving no trace in the world.

"Is this the instant death effect of the Death Realm? The beast followers don't even have the ability to stand beside him." Chi Yao guessed.

"rub!"

King Hassan moved, his steps were slow, and he took one step but moved sideways several meters. Wherever he passed, there was no movement of swinging the sword. The heads of all his beast followers flew up and turned into gray ashes and dissipated.

"!!" Seeing Wang Hassan reaping the lives of the beast's followers as if there was no one around and getting closer to him, Beast Tamamonomae panicked for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"Who the hell are you?! How could my child be so vulnerable?"

Wang Hassan looked at Tamamonomae with eyes burning with dark blue flames, and his deep voice sounded as if coming from the endless underworld.

"Without death there is no life, and with death there is life."

"The child you are talking about is not a living being, but a dead soul. It is my duty to give it a deep sleep."

With every word spoken, the grayness on the battlefield spread a little bit, and King Hassan gradually approached the Beast Tamamonomae.

"Beast of disaster, evil born from humankind. Love intertwined with hatred is your foundation."

"Although you are a god who has fallen into the form of a beast, since you are the god of Amaterasu, I have no choice but to reveal my name.

—I have come rushing from the abyss of the valley, from the darkness of death. I am Hasan Sabbah, the Old Man of the Mountain.

The evening bell has pointed to your name, and I will deprive you of your tail and feet according to the will of heaven."

King Hassan's momentum grew, his cloak fluttered, and the greatsword in his hand was already burning with a faint blue flame.

Chi Yao felt the rapid consumption of his magic power. In the first-level world, Crown King Hassan was not fully present, so he immediately used the Command Spell!

Five Command Spells flashed on Chi Yao's right forearm, and the gathered magic power assisted Wang Hassan in opening the treasure.

"In the name of Assassin's Master, I use the Five-Stroke Command Seal. Assassin, release the Noble Phantasm!!"

"Dang—dang—dang—"

A bell rang from somewhere, pure white feathers fell from the sky, and the world became silent. In this faded black and white world, only King Hassan could move.

"The title of champion is not what I need. The proof of my being the strongest lies in this sword alone."

King Hassan swung the greatsword in his hand, a white light flashed, and the true form of the beast Tamamonomae turned into a gray-white sculpture and began to collapse.

"Crack, crack—" All the beast's followers turned into ashes and scattered, and the inherent barrier also turned into gray and white, gradually collapsing.

"boom!"

The gray-white true body of the beast Tamamonomae was broken from the inside, and a dishevelled figure rushed out from it, immediately retreating and distancing himself from Wang Hassan.

Beast Tamamonomae returned to his original human form, lost his three tails, and his breath became much weaker.

Wang Hassan watched quietly without chasing. The swing of the sword had completely exhausted his incomplete spiritual foundation. His figure gradually turned into a point of light. He said to Chi Yao.

"The one who summoned me, my spiritual foundation has been burned out, and my duty has been completed. The contract is over, and now it depends on your performance."

Watching King Hassan completely turn into a point of light and disappear, Beast Tamamonomae breathed a sigh of relief, came to his senses, and laughed.

"You were just one move away! The crown is gone! Human, you failed!"

Chi Yao took out the sickle form of Ni Yun and said nothing. His silent fighting posture was the best answer.

"Hmph! You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River? You're the only one left, what can you do?" The Beast Tamamonomae said mockingly, the claws on his hands enlarged and became more ferocious, his feet sank deeply into the ground, showing a strong explosive power.

The information detected by Agent No. 6 gave Chi Yao some confidence. The attributes of Beast Tamamonomae had been weakened to 30 points, and most of its skills and followers had been severely injured and sealed. The only thing that needed to be paid attention to was the opponent's fox curse effect and some unknown skills.

Moreover, Beast Tamamonomae had just been seriously injured, and he could not give her the time and opportunity to recover. Thinking of this, Chi Yao decided to launch the first attack.

Chi Yao held his hands horizontally and moved them in reverse, with the sickle blade pointing sideways outward. He then stomped hard on the ground, creating a deep pit and splashing gravel all over the ground. He accelerated and turned into an afterimage, rushing towards the beast Tamamonomae.

The muscles on Beast Tamamonomae's face moved, and a pair of eyes actually formed next to her cheeks. With the help of two pairs of eyes, she could see Chi Yao's swinging movements clearly!

"Dang!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

The beast Tamamonomae's left hand sharp claw blocked in front of her body, and the sickle blade and claw blade crossed each other, making a harsh friction sound.

While the sickle blade was blocked by himself, Beast Tamamonomae stabbed out with the prepared right claw blade, aiming directly at Chi Yao's heart.

Chi Yao pressed down the reverse move in his hand, crossed his hands, and caused the reverse move to rotate along with the momentum, directly slashing at the beast Tamamo's right hand.

"Crack! Puff!!"

The sickle blade with lightning flashed and cut off her right hand directly!

"What?! Impossible! Didn't the previous attack fail to break the defense?!" Beast Tamamonomae could not hide his shock and quickly retreated.

Chi Yaocai would not explain the reason to the enemy. Cutting the left hand would cause a 45% damage attack, while cutting the right hand would cause a 220% attack with the addition of thunder.

Chi Yao took advantage of the situation and pursued, swinging the Ni Yun in his hand continuously, and the interweaving offensive forces covered him like a fishing net.

Beast Tamamonomae's face suddenly changed. The opponent's attack power was erratic and difficult to judge. Any attack could be a feint, and similarly, any attack could be a killing move!

Forced to retreat step by step by Chi Yao's power, the four eyes on Beast Tamamonomae's face suddenly widened, and a powerful mental shock mixed with malicious pollution directly pierced Chi Yao's mind.

"Evil Vision!!"

Chi Yao felt infinite malice piercing into his mind along with the impact. Horrible fantasies formed before his eyes and his eyes dimmed and blurred for a moment.

According to Chi Yao's predictions, calculations and plans, when resisting the underground of the Toosaka family, 28 hours had passed since the last time the Blackened Conqueror King used it. Four hours was the reserved time to deal with unexpected events.

This means that the cooldown of Mercury's Heart has already been completed, and Chi Yao has the means to forcefully resolve the hard control.

"Mercury Heart!"

A mercury-colored luster flashed across Chi Yao's body, and his eyes instantly became clear. His rainbow-blue Death Eyes opened, and the death line that appeared on the body of the Beast Tamamonomae was extremely faint. Chi Yao's eyes shed tears of blood, and he felt a dull tingling sensation in his brain.

Chi Yao endured the pressure of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception on his eyes and brain, and slashed down with the Reverse Fortune in his hand, and countless thunders burst out! The strong wind accelerated it!

"Cut!"

The pitch-black sickle blade carried the lightning and drew a round mark. Wherever the mark passed, everything was cut off.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Beast Tamamonomae screamed, and tried to close his cut body with his claws. The aura in his body was surging, and black mud gushed out.

Chi Yao's eyes focused. The opponent was a beast, and the death line he saw on its body was extremely faint. The previous attack was not a fatal blow. He must take advantage of the victory. With a layer of destined energy protection attached to his body surface, he went forward again to face the black mud.

After crossing the black mud, Beast Tamamonomae's body shape changed again. His whole body was covered with pale bones. The black mud acted like links, binding the bone armor together one by one.

"Human!!" The Beast Tamamonomae swung his giant claws that had grown several times larger and smashed down fiercely, vowing to smash Chi Yao into a meat patty.

"Suck—" Chi Yao took a deep breath, pushed his feet against the ground, and tightly grasped the reverse movement. The sickle blade became larger and swung upwards, swinging out a 220% thunder slash!

"Shua!!"

The giant claw with bone armor attached was also split into two, and there was no longer any obstacle in front of Chi Yao.

Chi Yao's eyes glowed with rainbow blue again, and the dead line where he had cut before had solidified into a solid line!

Beast Tamamonomae looked at Chi Yao's actions, and her animal instinct made her feel a fatal threat. She didn't care about the follow-up and chose to squeeze out all the magic power in her spiritual core and launch a full-strength attack!

Beast Tamamonomae opened her mouth, and the dark energy ball quickly gathered. Countless magic powers were compressed in the small ball, and the destructive power was limited in it.

"!!" Chi Yao saw the terrifying black energy ball in front of the opponent's mouth, but this fighting opportunity could not be missed. Without the Mercury Heart to release the control, the next strong control would mean his death.

"Then let's give it a try! Thunder Blade!"

Chi Yao exerted force with both hands, swung the sickle with all his strength and chopped it down fiercely. All his magic power turned into thunder and gathered on the sickle. He put all his strength into this attack!

In a trance, Chi Yao seemed to see the original Tamamonomae emerging on the Beast Tamamonomae, and the black energy ball deviated from its direction.

"Swish! Puff!"

The sickle blade sliced ​​through the body of Beast Tamamonomae, destroying its spiritual core in one blow.

"boom--!!"

The dark sphere transformed into a beam of light, which engulfed the left half of Chi Yao's body and went straight into the earth, blasting out a pit nearly a hundred meters deep.

Watching the body of the Beast Tamamonomae turn into a point of light and disappear in the air, Chi Yao lay on the air wall he had built, staring intently at the sky.

"Is this an illusion? Is it the remnants of Tamamonomae that are helping me?"

Chi Yao lost the left half of his body, and he stayed awake only by the vitality stimulated by the continuation of battle and the dying reduction effect accumulated by his equipment.

[The Hunter has completed the main quest "The Holy Grail of Black". ]

[The Hunter has completed the "Human Evil IV" event and obtained the title "Savior (Enemy of Human Evil IV)"]

[Tip: Hunter has obtained a large number of titles. Please check the information details after returning to Paradise. ]

Information about the park quickly appeared on the screen.

"It seems that Paradise divided the final main mission into a plot event, and it was only settled at the end." Chi Yao understood, looked at the dilapidated environment around him, and prepared to return.

"Hmm?! Wait, are Jin Shanshan and the others still alive?" Chi Yao immediately probed out his wind sense and found that those heroic spirits had also turned into points of light and disappeared.

And where Jin Shanshan was, there was a golden treasure box and a golden nameplate left.

The golden plaque was engraved with the words, "Well done, this is the reward a subject deserves."

Chi Yao had no choice but to take out the second type of first aid medicine from Coptis chinensis and drink it.

"Ahem! Damn, it's so bitter?!" Chi Yao almost spit it out, but he held it back for the sake of the golden treasure box.

However, to be honest, Coptis chinensis's first aid medicine was indeed quite effective. Even though it couldn't regenerate severed limbs, it quickly stabilized Chi Yao's injuries.

[The hunter has obtained the golden treasure box (treasure box type item). ]

Chi Yao calmed down for a while, obtained the golden treasure box, and chose to return.
