1558 As Good As Dead

This Ferrero was only good at bluffing, he was not that skilled. Most experienced Mages would try to stop him from using the Deathstrike Magic Equipment once they realized its traits, but Ferrero only realized it after its damage had already multiplied. It was obviously too late now!

“Take this!” Zhao Manyan saw through Ferrero’s intentions. The Scorching Light Deathstrike Magic Equipment emitted another ray resembling a giant saber. It came down from a great height at a wave of Zhao Manyan’s hand.

Ferrero was terrified. He immediately gave up on his attempt to attack and defended himself with a Rock Barrier. A little hill emerged from the ground in front of him.

The Deathstrike Magic Equipment was almost at the end of its duration, but the final slashes were the deadliest, too. The scorching light sliced through the rocks with ease. The huge impact sent Ferrero flying.

Zhao Manyan raised his other hand when Ferrero was in mid-air to prepare the final ray!

Zhao Manyan aimed it at the trail that Ferrero left in the air. The poised ray turned into a spear of light!

Ferrero slammed into the wall of the dueling ground. His body had just bounced off the wall when the spear punctured him in the shoulder and nailed him to the wall.

Blood poured out from the wound. The burning of the scorching light added more pain to the wound. Ferrero let out a cry of agony while twitching uncontrollably.

“I’m going to kill you!” Ferrero roared like an enraged beast.

It took him great effort to break free from the spear while enduring the immense pain. The muscles on his face twitched constantly. His eyes emitted an eerie, dark-blue glow as his pupils enlarged strangely.

“I thought you were going to pull off some insane trick, but it’s only the Eyes of the Rock Demon, even when you’re mad,” Zhao Manyan said disdainfully.

The Eyes unleashed a petrifying force. A layer of dark blue rocks spread across the area that Ferrero’s vision covered and surged rapidly at Zhao Manyan.

He spotted tiny, dense lumps on the surface of the rocks. Zhao Manyan might not be the knowledgeable kind, but he was not completely ignorant. He quickly set up a defense with the Light Element.

Four Ramparts surrounded him. Meanwhile, the lumps on the rocks became restless and spread apart like the mouths of a terrifying rock monster. Zhao Manyan could even see rows of fangs inside them…

“It’s the Man-Eating Rock! Enjoy the pleasure of being reduced to bones by it!” Ferrero burst out laughing when the rock demon swallowed Zhao Manyan!

The Man-Eating Rock was an extraordinary rock demon. They were actually predators found deep in the woods in the mountains. They would disguise themselves as caves and provide shelter to some living creatures. When the time was right, they would shut the entrance and eat the creatures within them, until they were digested by the things that looked like lumps.

It was the same creature that Ferrero was using!

He pretended to cast Petrify to scatter the deadly rock demon around Zhao Manyan, allowing the rock demon to swallow Zhao Manyan right away.

Loud blasts came from the rock demon’s stomach. Zhao Manyan was trying to break through the rock demon, but the rocks were incredibly sturdy. Many Commander-level creatures actually died of suffocation inside them.

Zhao Manyan took out his Deathstrike Magic Equipment once again, but it was clearly not enough to slice through the rock demon’s stomach. He was surrounded by darkness, and having difficulty breathing. Even though Zhao Manyan knew how deadly the rock demon was, he had failed to escape from its sudden engulfment!

The defense of the Light Element was mere decoration against the rock demon. It did not even bother to destroy the Rampart, as it simply swallowed both Zhao Manyan and his defense. As time gradually passed, the rock demon would slowly digest Zhao Manyan in its stomach!

“It’s not that easy to trap me here!” Zhao Manyan gave up on using the Deathstrike Magic Equipment. Since he could not slice his way out, he would make it burst instead!

“Titan Body!”

Zhao Manyan let out a roar and spread his arms in the darkness. A brown glow formed a silhouette of a statue in front of him.

The brown light expanded into the outline of a titan continuously!

The titan was incredibly huge. No matter how big the rock demon and its stomach was, there was no way it could hold a Titan Body that was over seventy meters tall. Most importantly, Zhao Manyan had strengthened the Titan Body with Baxia’s Seal, so it was only sturdier than the rock demon!

The rock strengthened by Baxia’s Seal collided with the rock demon. In the end, a chunk of the Titan Body fell off while the rock demon’s body burst open after a loud crash!

Rocks scattered across the place and fell onto Ferrero. The man even forgot to dodge them, staring at the Titan Body in disbelief…

The rock demon was Ferrero’s trump card, yet it was destroyed so easily, before he could even celebrate!

“Stop struggling, just stand still and prepare to face death!” Zhao Manyan came out of the stones. The ground was shaking as he charged in his heavy armor!

Zhao Manyan had spent too much time around Mo Fan, and was being influenced by Mo Fan’s violent fighting style. He sped himself up with the Earth Wave and rammed into Ferrero like a tank.

Ferrero was knocked flying once again, his bones bent out of shape from the enormous impact. He spat out mouthfuls of blood when he landed on the ground.

“Plummeting Rays!”

Light poured down like swords onto the area Ferrero had landed in. Ferrero tried to escape the dueling ground, but the light swords carrying Zhao Manyan’s anger impaled him and left countless holes in his body.

Ferrero was on the verge of dying. The dueling ground slowly sank bck into the ground.

Ferrero’s back was severely burned. He was lying on the ground like a dying dog, trying to crawl away from Zhao Manyan.

Sofia only saw the outcome when the walls of the dueling ground disappeared. She burst into tears when she saw Ferrero covered in blood on the ground.

“That’s enough, please… we didn’t want it to come down to this, either!” Sofia cried out.

Zhao Manyan stood beside Ferrero and watched him crawling on the ground while leaving a trail of blood behind…

He grabbed Ferrero’s head and turned the man around to face him.

“Take a good look; this is the face of the person that you don’t want to mess with. Killing you is no different than butchering a dog!” Zhao Manyan snarled, glaring at Ferrero.

Ferrero’s mouth was filled with blood. He could not say a single word, only groan in pain.

“Keep crawling, did I give you the permission to stop!?” Zhao Manyan cursed him.

Ferrero still had a few breaths left. He immediately started crawling again after hearing the words.

“See that? Crawl to that woman’s heels, and I’ll spare your life!” Zhao Manyan spat.

Ferrero crawled harder after he heard the order. He was covered in serious injuries. He could not care less that Zhao Manyan was humiliating him. Staying alive was more important than anything else!

Ferrero actually obeyed Zhao Manyan’s instructions. Sofia watched him, and even forgot to take a few steps closer. She remained still and watched Ferrero. This man who looked worse than the undead was no longer the Ferrero she knew. He was helpless, pitiful, and had lost all his dignity.

As a matter of fact, Zhao Manyan actually left as soon as he finished the sentence. He did not really care if Ferrero made it to where Sofia was standing. He believed the man would suffer more if he was left alive after his dignity was crushed to such extent. Ferrero was going to remember the pain for the rest of his life!

Ferrero was totally unaware of Zhao Manyan’s thoughts. He was using all his might to crawl forward. He was scared that he might actually die if he failed to reach Sofia’s feet. Meanwhile, Sofia wondered if she should be taking pity on the man, or be disgusted after seeing his pathetic actions…

“What if he comes to seek revenge in the future, if you don’t kill him now?” Mu Bai pointed out. He was surprised that Zhao Manyan had actually spared the man’s life.

“The Golden Rose Clan won’t forgive me, unless we kill the two girls, too. Well, it’s not like I’m scared of that European clan that sells flowers. I just don’t see the need of killing him. Look at him, isn’t he as good as dead?” Zhao Manyan dismissed the threat.

“True, I was just treating how you said that you aren’t a man if you don’t kill him today seriously,” Mu Bai agreed.
