Chapter 131: Can We Do It One More Time?
Page 1 of 3
Several hours earlier...
Elsewhere...
Song Qi and the others were carried into the portal atop a mass of black mist.
On the other side of the gate stood the entrance to the Seventh District!
All they had to do was descend and walk a few steps to enter the district, which was protected by a formidable formation.
But before they could do anything...
The black mist had barely passed halfway through, with Song Qi and Chu Shaojiang still inside the gate, when—
Bang!
The entire portal exploded in an instant!
Song Qi felt the space before his eyes blur from perfect clarity.
Then the world spun violently around him!
Forcing himself to stay conscious, Song Qi looked around, only to find boundless darkness stretching in every direction.
They had been dragged into the turbulence of space!
“Di Xin!”
Song Qi hurriedly seized Di Xin by the leg and clung to him for dear life.
“Brother Song!”
Struggling desperately, Chu Shaojiang grabbed Song Qi’s leg and held on just as tightly.
Several minutes later...
The three of them finally landed.
Song Qi looked up and found himself in a place resembling a forest.
Several verdant mountain peaks rose in the distance.
Huge flying monsters roared across the sky!
Yet there was not the slightest sign of human habitation.
“Where exactly have we been transported?”
Song Qi rose to his feet and was just about to walk farther afield to investigate when a sudden chill swept over him from behind!
Before he could react—
Bang!
Di Xin’s figure flashed behind Song Qi. With a fierce punch, he shattered a fish scale in midair.
“Oh?”
“Does your summoned spirit possess some kind of defensive law?”
A black figure appeared out of thin air.
It was the fish-headed demon covered in fish scales whom they had encountered earlier.
“Strange. You’re only level forty, aren’t you? Yet you’ve already comprehended a law?”
“Or did that man named Tang provide false information? Are you actually level sixty?”
A hint of confusion crossed his face. Then he glanced around impatiently.
“Tsk. You actually followed us all the way to the Third Continent?”
“This is going to make getting back somewhat troublesome.”
“But never mind. I’ll just finish you off quickly.”
As he spoke, he raised a hand. The black scales on his forearm suddenly stood erect, poised to strike.
Song Qi instantly summoned Ying Zheng and Lu Bu.
At the same time, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings, but saw no sign of the other demons.
“You came alone?”
Song Qi asked in confusion.
“Do you really think one of me isn’t enough to deal with you?”
“I think you’re still a little short,” Song Qi replied matter-of-factly.

“Ha!”
The fish-headed demon burst out laughing.
A mere level-forty summoner actually looked down on him?
He had probably gained too much confidence by bullying weaklings of the same level.
“Interesting...”
“How about I let you make the first move?”
“Then I’ll thank you for it.”
Bang, bang, bang!
Before the words had even left his mouth, the fish-headed monster felt a powerful gust rush toward his face.
His smile had yet to fade when a fist the size of a sandbag tore through three successive sound barriers, carrying terrifying force straight into his face!
With several enhancement effects bolstering him, Di Xin’s Strength attribute had already surpassed thirty thousand points.
Such absurd power could compress the air into cannonballs with a casual punch and shatter a hundred-meter stretch of arena.
And now, that very power landed squarely on the demon’s face!
Crack!
A crisp sound came from the fish head as several obvious fractures appeared across its gill covers.
Scarlet blood and shredded fragments of flesh and gills sprayed through the air!
Boom!!!
The fish-headed demon did not even have time to react before he was sent flying!
Countless trees were smashed into splinters as he tore through them.
Only after crashing nearly a hundred meters into the mountainside did he finally manage to steady himself.
“What kind of technique was that?!”
“Why couldn’t I see it clearly?!”
The fish-headed demon stared in disbelief.
In that instant, he had discovered that his reactions had slowed dozens of times over!
When he touched the injured area, he found that half his face had already been pulverized into bloody mush, with the faint outline of a massive fist mark still visible.
“A weakening skill?”
“But I activated Scale Armor in advance! This is a law-level defensive skill capable of resisting every negative status effect!”
“Could it be...”
“A weakening skill of the same law level?!”
The fish-headed demon narrowed his eyes as the injuries across his body rapidly healed.
At this level, most beings possessed several healing abilities.
Unless the damage to their bodies was fatal, it scarcely affected them at all.
“No wonder you were so confident. The problem lies with your summoned spirit!”
“But if you think mastering a single law is enough to contend with me, you’re still far too naive!”
“And for you, a skill like that must have a fairly long cooldown.”
Splash!
The fish-headed demon climbed out of the rubble and strode toward the mouth of the cavern.
When he emerged, he discovered that his opponent had not fled.
“Not running? That saves me quite a bit of time. I shouldn’t keep the big brothers waiting. Let’s end this.”
His gaze was cold and utterly calm.
In his eyes, that human child had already exhausted every trick and was merely making one final desperate struggle.
Boom!
The moment he took a step, a ring of thick black matter spread outward!
The substance resembled a black hole.
Every tree it touched toppled instantly.

In less than a moment, the forest within several kilometers had been devoured completely!
The blackness even spread beneath Song Qi’s feet.
At the same time, the demon’s aura surged to its peak!
“Domain... Blackwater Swamp!”
Bang!
The fish-headed demon vanished from his original position.
His speed reached its absolute limit.
Yet within the domain, he caused not the slightest ripple. There was not even a sound barrier to break through!
That was the effect of Blackwater Swamp.
It allowed him to disregard and bypass every obstacle, enabling him to unleash his full speed without restraint.
Yet in his eyes, the human opposite him was still standing foolishly in place, as though he had been frightened senseless.
“It’s over!”
His eyes lit up. He was now less than a hundred meters from Song Qi.
The black water in his hand transformed into a slender, razor-sharp blade and shot straight toward its target!
But in the next instant...
“Hmm?”
The fish-headed demon froze.
His speed had suddenly slowed countless times over!
Even his reactions had become sluggish.
It was exactly the same sensation as before!
“How is this possible?”
“How can the weakening effect be so powerful, yet its cooldown so short?!”
Before he could figure it out, a phantom of a demon god had already condensed above his head.
The fist of that muscular giant came swinging toward him once more.
Bang!!!
Another solid, devastating punch.
His skull visibly warped beneath the impact.
But before he could be sent flying this time, an enormous halberd phantom suddenly crashed down!
Boom!!!!
The earth shattered!
The vast forest rippled like a lake struck by a boulder, sending up “waves” of soil and stone hundreds of meters high!
The distant mountain peaks were caught by the surging waves and split apart in an instant!
The power of a single strike was enough to shatter mountains and cleave peaks!
“He should be dead this time, right?”
“If he’s somehow still alive, then I’ll have no choice but to activate Ode to Life and fight to the death.”
Clutching a thick book, Song Qi cautiously crouched behind Di Xin.
[Treasure: Seven Sins — Greed]
[Effect 1: Select one target and instantly reset the cooldown of one of the target’s skills. Cooldown: 24 hours.]
[Effect 2: Select one piece of equipment and instantly reset the cooldown of one of its effects. Cooldown: 24 hours.]
With this equipment’s assistance, Ying Zheng’s All Chariots to One Standard could be used three full times!
In other words, he could repeat the same tactic once more.
