Starforce Warriors-Chapter 548: Resist

Swoosh!

A blade’s light swept through the air and the body of the obese monster was instantly split in half.

Li Xiaofei froze for a moment.

Is it really this easy to kill?

However, in the next instant, he saw something shocking. Wriggling flesh buds began to sprout from the wounds of the severed body. They pulled the two halves of the body back together like strands of rope. In the blink of an eye, the wounds healed completely.

How could this be?

Li Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat. The strike he had just delivered carried the essence of devouring. It was also infused with the destructive energy of the Heavenly Blade technique.

Even a Saint would take days to heal from the wound. Yet this monster had recovered effortlessly, as if it had simply been a paper cut. The pieces simply rejoined as though they had never been severed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"I told you, this creature can't be killed," Bajie said, stepping forward.

He swung his straight saber, its strike radiating the icy sealing energy of the Dual Sacred Body of Blade and Sword.

Crack.

The potbellied monster was instantly encased in profound ice. But, as expected, it had no effect.

In the next moment, the ice that was capable of freezing and obliterating all things was melted by the writhing, bloated muscles of the grotesque fat man. To be precise, it was absorbed. It seemed capable of devouring everything.

"Jie jie jie jie..."

The grotesque fat man opened his mouth and let out a sinister laugh. Rows of jagged, serrated teeth filled his mouth. It was a maw that clearly did not belong to a human.

Li Xiaofei could even see its tongue squirming inside, with a smaller, tooth-filled mouth growing on the tip of the tongue. Yet, outwardly, it bore the appearance of a human.

Is this what a god parasitized by subspace creatures looked like?

Li Xiaofei realized that the inability to harm this monster was not because it was too strong. It was because their strength was of a lower level.

"Hold it off for a while," Bajie shouted loudly. "Let them get Lord Tan out of here... Be careful, it can assimilate energy."

Just as he spoke...

Boom!

A pillar of icy frost shot toward Li Xiaofei's face. It was the same energy Bajie had used earlier to encase the monster in ice. Now, it had been turned into a counterattack.

Star Shifting Reversal Technique?

Li Xiaofei’s heart tensed, and he didn’t dare take it head-on. Instead, he evaded using his Body Techniques.

Who knew if this creature added something extra to it? Besides, anything spewed out of that foul-smelling mouth is utterly disgusting.

Li Xiaofei employed the Immortal Seal Technique and kept harassing the monster in a back-and-forth struggle.

"You keep it busy; I'll cover you from below!" Bajie shouted loudly, retreating from the battlefield.

Damn it!

Li Xiaofei cursed internally.

When there were others around, weren’t you the one trying to hog the spotlight? Now you’re suddenly the one covering me from behind?

However, he quickly noticed Bajie doing his best to hold back zombie-like creatures that were swarming forward on the ground. Seeing that, Li Xiaofei refrained from voicing his complaints. He focused on drawing the bloated monster’s attention in the skies above.

Pfft!

Suddenly, the monster's bloated belly split open, and something resembling a turtle’s head emerged. Its mouth gaped wide as it spewed a stream of dark green liquid.

Damn it!

Caught off guard, Li Xiaofei was splattered with several drops of the liquid.

Sizzle.

The liquid hissed as Li Xiaofei felt an excruciating pain flare in his forearm. His arm was charred black as smoke rose from the injury. The dark green subspace energy began corroding his flesh even deeper.

Li Xiaofei swung his blade and severed his left arm without hesitation. The severed limb fell through the air, but it dissolved into a wisp of green smoke and vanished entirely before it even hit the ground.

His blood surged, and his severed arm quickly regenerated. However, Li Xiaofei now understood that this monster posed a grave threat to his survival. If he was hit in a vital area by this high-level, malevolent energy, not even a Saint-level regenerative ability would save him. He had no choice but to double his vigilance as he continued maneuvering against the subspace demon parasite.

The creature unleashed wild, piercing laughter that seemed to drill into his mind. The sound spread rapidly through the air, sending the city into chaos. Countless people who heard the laughter lost all reason. Their eyes started to glow red as they began attacking every living thing around them. Slaughter, bloodshed, death, and madness engulfed the city.

Everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers was caught in chaos. The influence then began to slowly but surely spread outward. Below, Bajie relentlessly fought against the so-called Divine Followers. These individuals were the initial infected, those who had undergone rudimentary transformations. They too possessed near-immortality.

The subspace energy within their bodies rendered them immune to most supernatural forces of this world. Bajie kept shattering their bodies and burning them to ensure their permanent destruction. But the process was agonizingly slow.

“Jie jie jie jie...” The grotesque fat man sneered coldly. “All who stand in the way of the great King of Terror shall be consumed by wrath and destruction. You, people of Great Xia, will make for excellent materials. I will devour you.”

The creature kept spewing liquid at Li Xiaofei, who barely managed to avoid being hit. Li Xiaofei was tempted more than once to use the Star Shifting Reversal Technique to counter it. But he hesitated each time.

If the technique failed, it would be akin to committing suicide. This was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome opponent. In the past, it was always him bullying others like this.

"Monkey, I can’t hold on much longer!" Below, Bajie shouted loudly. More and more Divine Followers were rushing to surround him.

The grotesque fat man’s eerie laughter echoed through the air, causing the Divine Followers to become even more frenzied. They were becoming increasingly violent as they attacked.

Meanwhile, both Li Xiaofei and Bajie began to feel their emotions spiral out of control from the oppressive, maniacal laughter.

Li Xiaofei could sense a blazing fire igniting within his heart as his anger surged uncontrollably. He didn’t even know what he was so angry about. But the rage was intense and overwhelming.

He felt a burning desire to destroy everything. He wanted to annihilate everything in sight and spill blood across the land. Even the shouting Bajie below was becoming unbearable to him.

Why is that fat fool so noisy?

A crimson glow began to flicker in Li Xiaofei’s eyes. His expression twisted, growing increasingly savage. He suddenly let out a furious roar, his body about to expand explosively. But just at that moment...

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The crisp barking of the Black Emperor suddenly rang in Li Xiaofei's ears. The sound of the dog’s bark was like a heavenly melody. It carried an inexplicable power, as if a clear spring were flowing past his ears.

Li Xiaofei immediately felt his mind clear a little.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The Black Emperor’s barking continued relentlessly, countering the grotesque fat man’s eerie laughter. For a moment, the two sounds clashed, as if evenly matched. Li Xiaofei’s eyes gradually regained clarity. Suddenly, he recalled the scene of the Black Emperor gnawing on the Nether God Spear.

How could I forget? This little black dog is the nemesis of subspace energy.

"Come forth, Asura, the hellhound from the depths of the abyss!"

Li Xiaofei shouted loudly and summoned the Black Emperor from the Secret Time Pavilion. A flash of black suddenly streaked through the air.

"Whoa, what the hell?" Li Xiaofei was startled when he laid eyes on the Black Emperor.

What on earth happened to it?
