In the face of the Fire Owl King's almost instantaneous mid-level sure-kill skill, Ji Dong reacted in an extremely short time. The Tai Chi Demonic Domain behind him accompanied by the Assimilation Array forcefully pulled in a portion of the fire elements in the air and even the opponent's attack, making it impossible for the Fire Owl King to use those eight strange hand gestures to pull in all the scattered fire elements in the air. Then, Ji Dong released his Elemental Stripping Demonic Domain to forcefully strip away the Fire Owl King's attack, buying time for himself and also weakening the Fire Owl King's attack.
In the end, he pressed both palms on the ground, and a thick black pillar of fire rose from below, blocking the Fire Owl King's attack in midair.
One had to know that all of Ji Dong's reactions were completed in an instant. To be able to control his mana to such an extent, the strength of his soul could be imagined. In the past 40 days, Ji Dong had spent most of his time practicing control.
If his previous cultivation was all about improving his Mana and understanding of his skills, then this period of time was a process where he used his Saint-tier soul to thoroughly master all the skills he had in the past. When he used them, he would no longer feel the slightest bit awkward. Instead, he would be able to use them smoothly and easily.
One shot forward, one reflected. When the two fire pillars collided, the Fire Owl King's body trembled slightly, while Ji Dong took a step back. Neither of them gained the upper hand.
The Fire Owl King's originally frightened mind instantly calmed down at this moment. From the collision of their mana, he was completely sure that the human youth in front of him was at least inferior to him in terms of mana. Otherwise, that collision just now wouldn't have been a tie, and he would have been the one at a disadvantage instead.
The Fire Owl King's battle experience was too rich. Seeing that he wasn't at a disadvantage, he immediately used an extremely unreasonable stance to directly collide with Ji Dong. He had already determined that Ji Dong's soul power should be above his, but his mana was inferior. Thus, with his experience, he wanted to force Ji Dong to confront him head-on. He didn't believe that Ji Dong could control every collision so skillfully. As long as he grasped the slightest opportunity, he was confident that he could consign Ji Dong to eternal damnation.
The upper four of the Fire Owl King's eight arms were like blades, slashing down like four sharp blades. Ji Dong could even see the flickering metallic luster on the edge of his palms. The Fire Owl King's eight arms weren't inferior to eight mana weapons. After pouring a large amount of fire mana into them, their might was absolutely terrifying. Not only the upper four arms, but the lower four arms also formed different hand shapes and pushed out at the same time. It was like four punches, bombarding different parts of Hyōhime's chest and abdomen.
The all-out attack almost covered all the vital parts of Ji Dong's upper body.
Whether it was the mana output, attack angle, or choice of power, the strength displayed by the Fire Owl King was far from what the Fire Owl Overlord that Ji Dong had killed before could compare to. There was no doubt that the Fire Owl King's melee ability was extremely powerful.
If the Fire Owl King only had two arms, then Ji Dong would definitely choose to fight it head-on without hesitation. But this guy had eight arms, and each of them contained great power. If he could only hit two of its arms, then what about the other six?
Ji Dong had his own methods, and his combat experience wasn't lacking either, especially when it came to melee attacks. His eyes flickered with a powerful light as he released the Elemental Stripping Domain once again. The Fire Owl King only felt its mana leaking out as it suddenly lost connection with the fire elemental energy in the surroundings. Even its own fire mana was sucked away. At the same time, Ji Dong raised his left hand and pulled his right hand in his direction. When the Fire Owl King was already in front of him, he made a series of reactions in that critical moment.
Without a doubt, the closer the opponent was, the shorter the reaction time would be, and the greater the danger. But at the same time, the closer the opponent was, the harder it would be for him to change his attack.
The Fire Owl King's four arms felt as though they were blocked by an air wall. What it couldn't understand the most was that it couldn't find any trace of Ji Dong's aura in the air wall. Even though the air wall could only stop its attack for a split second, a split second often meant eternity on the battlefield.
At the same time, the Fire Owl King's body also stopped for a split second. Then, he felt an enormous suction force pulling two of the four arms that he had used to attack Hyōhime. The two arms that were originally charging forward instantly accelerated, while the other two arms were slightly raised due to this sudden change and couldn't form a joint attack. Moreover, because the four arms above him were blocked, the Fire Owl King's body had already turned into a bow shape and was being pulled by Ji Dong's God Annihilation Guide. His two arms were already in front of Ji Dong.
'It doesn't matter if you have eight arms as long as I control them so that only two of them can collide with me.' This was Ji Dong's strategy. Who said that the advantage of spiritual strength would be weakened in close combat? Ji Dong's control over his body, mana, and timing had turned his disadvantage of being inferior to his opponent into an advantage.
A fierce glint flashed in the Fire Owl King's eyes. The Demon Domain of Elemental Stripping was extremely uncomfortable for him, and Ji Dong's various actions made it so that he could only collide with his two arms. But even so, the Fire Owl King didn't panic at all. In an instant, he poured all the mana in his body into his two arms that were being pulled by Ji Dong.
Ji Dong took half a step back, retracted his arms, and pushed them forward again. On the left was his pitch-black left hand, and on the right was his right hand that was as shiny as gold. Ultimate Dual Flames were contained within them at the same time.
"BOOM …"
The four punches collided, and the victor was decided in an instant. Under the Fire Owl King's all-out injection of Mana, Ji Dong's body was blasted away like a cannonball, even with the help of the Elemental Stripping Domain. As for the Fire Owl King, he stood there motionlessly.
The members of the Fire Owl Race cheered at the same time. However, their cheers only lasted for a moment before they stopped abruptly. That was because the Fire Owl King did something completely incomprehensible. Out of the Fire Owl King's eight arms, the two uppermost arms suddenly straightened their palms like blades and directly chopped off the two arms that collided with Ji Dong's. The two arms were instantly chopped off and flew to both sides.
Then, two violent explosions sounded at the same time. The two arms that were chopped off had already turned into a ball of gold and a ball of black flames respectively, emitting powerful mana fluctuations in the air.
Ji Dong's body flew backwards, but his soul remained locked onto the Fire Owl King. He could not help but shiver inwardly when he sensed the Fire Owl King's reaction. It was indeed a good decision to cut off one's wrist. It seemed that any one of the thirty-six core elders of the Sacred Flame Church would be an astonishing figure on the surface.
The Fire Owl King's reaction was undoubtedly the most correct. Although Ji Dong was blasted away by the Fire Owl King's mana, Ji Dong's fists also forcefully broke through the Fire Owl King's body. Ji Dong had already cultivated the Deity Annihilation Strike to the sixth layer, and the power that could be unleashed with the six layers was imaginable. After the Deity Annihilation Strike entered the Fire Owl King's arms, it immediately attacked his chest. The Fire Owl King's mana couldn't stop them at all. If the two mana collided on his chest, the combination of the Yin Fire Exterminating Strike and the Yang Fire Exterminating Strike wouldn't be as simple as losing two arms. In order to avoid being heavily injured, the Fire Owl King made the most correct response at the first possible moment, which was to abandon his arms and crush Ji Dong's plan.
The Fire Owl King's arms were severed cleanly and not a single drop of blood flowed out.
The Fire Owl King's expression didn't change at all, as though the arms that were cut off didn't belong to him. However, the glint in his eye became even fiercer.
Just like how Ji Dong had been watching him, the Fire Owl King had also been watching Ji Dong. He had clearly sensed that Ji Dong's mana was indeed inferior to his. Moreover, in order to inject the Deity Annihilation Strike into his body, Ji Dong's mana resistance was much weaker.
That was why he was sent flying. However, Ji Dong was floating quietly in mid-air. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have suffered any injuries at all. This was a greater psychological blow to the Fire Owl King than the loss of his two arms.
Losing an arm of the Fire Owl Race was like losing a lizard's tail. It was also a kind of innate skill. After returning, the Fire Owl King would naturally have a way to reattach the two arms. However, the expected effect of losing two arms didn't appear. The other party wasn't injured, but the Fire Owl King had lost two arms. This was really a loss.
Ji Dong wasn't injured. He had naturally made ample preparations for this clash. Just like the Earth Dragon Ancestor had said, after soaking in the Earth Dragon Ancestor's ancestral dragon bloodline, Ji Dong's current physical strength made it difficult to even injure him. Without the strength of a saint rank cultivator, it was impossible to truly kill him. Ji Dong had used his saint rank physique to forcefully disperse the Fire Owl King's attack. His body had only suffered a slight jolt, and was far from being injured.
They'd clashed head-on twice here, and the battle on the battlefield had already begun. Under Ji Dong's orders, the ordinary Fire Ravens didn't participate in the battle. The Fire Raven King soared through the air with his four Fire Raven Formations, sending out wave after wave of powerful ultimate attacks, specifically targeting the ordinary Fire Owls with only two arms. Under these circumstances, it was only natural that the Raven King would attack one at a time. Dozens of Fire Owls had fallen to the Fire Raven Formation's attacks in just a short while.
The Fire Owl Tribe was one of the top ranked tribes in the core world, so they were naturally no pushovers. After discovering the threat posed by the Fire Crows, the thousand ordinary Fire Owls rose into the air at almost the same time and charged murderously towards the Fire Crows' four formations.
The Fire Crow Formation was extremely powerful, but it could only fire four powerful attacks at a time. The Fire Owl Tribe had paid the price of dozens of lives and were about to reach the Fire Crows.
However, the Heavenly Stem Saints were unable to help the Fire Crows at a time like this. They also had to face the overwhelming number of powerful Fire Owls.
Apart from the Fire Owl King and Ji Dong, the ten six-armed Fire Owl Lords had already led over a hundred four-armed Fire Owl commanders to find the Heavenly Stem Saints. The Heavenly Stem Saints were powerful, but the number of enemies they had to face was just too great. Even the commanders had surpassed Class 8 Magical Beasts. They fell into a bitter battle as soon as they were surrounded by so many experts.
The situation immediately became disadvantageous to the Heavenly Stem Saints and the Fire Crows. The Heavenly Stem Saints were fine. They could still break out of the encirclement if push came to shove. They were completely capable of fleeing under Ji Dong's guidance, but what about the Fire Crows? Once the four formations were broken through by the Fire Owl Tribe, the other Fire Crows apart from the Fire Crow King would definitely die if they faced the Fire Owl Tribe at close range, even though they were outnumbered four to one. Once all the elites of the Fire Crow Tribe died, the Fire Crow Tribe would be done for.
Ji Dong's eyes were filled with severity at this moment. It wasn't that he had made any mistakes in his commands, but that the Fire Owl King was giving him too much pressure. Although the Fire Owl King's cultivation wasn't on par with Lin Qing, who'd almost killed Ji Dong, it was about the same level as Lin Qing's husband, Lin Yilei. In addition, the Fire Owl King was more experienced than Lin Yilei, and he wasn't at a disadvantage in terms of attributes. Ji Dong's mana was inferior to his opponent's, and the pressure from the Fire Owl King made it difficult for him to divert his attention to attend to the four formations. It was already quite good that he could support the Heavenly Stem Saints in terms of soul scouting.
"What should I do?" Ji Dong was now faced with a choice. The appearance of the Fire Owl Tribe had been too sudden, and the battle had started too quickly. He didn't have any time to prepare at all. He naturally wasn't afraid of the Fire Owl King, but what about the Fire Crows? There was still time to break out of the encirclement now, but the Fire Ravens had been completely annihilated after all. Putting aside the fact that his hard work over the past month had been wasted, emotionally, Ji Dong would never allow such a situation to occur.
A long howl erupted from Ji Dong's mouth. Then, the void was torn apart, and a red light flickered on his wrist. Two enormous figures had already soared into the sky, charging straight for the flock of Fire Owls. It was the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon and the Eclipse Phoenix. Ji Dong had decided to go all out. His eyes were filled with ferocity at this moment.
