Chapter 190: Lucifer
Chapter 190: Lucifer
Under the powerful aura, the scheming Hell lords temporarily abandoned their plots and released their own auras to counter Bi Xiao.
A tremendous force raged, with one man fighting against ten Hell lords. The colossal clash caused the space to tremble.
However, this space was exceptionally resilient, showing no signs of damage.
This situation completely discouraged the observing Hell lords; they realized that only by killing the opponent would the space become unstable and break apart.
Lucifer looked up at the sky, his pitch-black wings spreading out and gently flapping: "We can still negotiate, Guardian."
Lucifer was still unwilling to give up, not wanting to die in this place.
The key was that the initiative did not lie with him or the other Hell lords, but with Bi Xiao. If Bi Xiao targeted someone, there would be a relentless battle. It was uncertain if Bi Xiao would die, but the targeted Hell lord would certainly perish.
Lucifer did not want his name on Bi Xiao's kill list.
However, to Lucifer's utter disappointment, Bi Xiao's response was singular.
Battle~
Boom!
Bi Xiao's figure instantly transformed into a streak of golden light, slicing through the air like a golden meteor, attacking Lucifer at several times the speed of light. The short distance combined with such speed left Lucifer, a high-level Hell lord, barely enough time to react.
Moreover, Lucifer was a versatile fighter.
Bang!
Lucifer quickly raised his left hand, a dark longsword appearing in it, while his right hand braced the sword's blade. An earth-shattering metallic sound erupted as Bi Xiao's Sword of Promised Victory clashed with Lucifer's sword, sending sparks flying everywhere.
The shockwave from the collision rippled in all directions, and Lucifer's handsome, dark face changed color, for he felt an immensely terrifying power from Bi Xiao's sword. This force pushed him towards the ground.
Boom!
The two crashed into the ground, raising clouds of dust and rubble. The speed at which the debris shot out exceeded the speed of sound, more powerful than some human world cannons.
Such terrifying beings as the Hell lords paid no attention to the flying debris.
All their gazes were fixed on the dust cloud, which did not hinder their perception or sight.
They saw that Lucifer had been forced into the ground by Bi Xiao, creating a pit tens of thousands of kilometers deep, with countless cracks spanning millions of kilometers.
Each crack was like an abyss, bottomless, where any human falling in would surely die.
This was caused by just one collision, hinting at the immense energy produced.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying tremors continued to emanate from the ground, columns of earth erupting like fountains, breaking through the surface. The intensity of the battle below ground was unimaginable, with the shockwaves growing stronger. Fortunately, there were no buildings here, as any structure or mountain would be instantly obliterated by the shockwaves.
The other Hell lords exchanged glances in the air, silently agreeing not to intervene. Instead, they unleashed their own powerful dark magic and abilities, bombarding the ground.
In an instant, various terrifying dark magical energies swept across the surface, utterly destroying it. The energy torrents pierced through the earth's core, and after a short while, a black figure burst from the ground, through the energy torrents, and into the sky.
Flapping black wings and holding a black holy sword, it was Lucifer.
However, he looked somewhat disheveled. His once pristine left wing seemed broken, his armor, worn after his fall from grace, was dented and cracked, with black shadows slowly repairing the damage.
One ear had been cut off, and his once smooth long hair was now shorn.
Disheveled, ugly, and no longer graceful.
Lucifer coldly glanced at the Hell lords still immersed in the bombardment. He knew they didn't care about his survival; if Bi Xiao could be killed, they would gladly sacrifice him to reduce competition for resources and benefits.
Foolish and narrow-minded creatures.
Lucifer cursed them inwardly.
These fools had no idea how terrifying their opponent was. From the brief exchange, Lucifer had already gauged the Earth Guardian Bi Xiao's power.
Far beyond his own, and even these Hell lords.
In combat thinking, intelligence, reaction, speed, and strength, Bi Xiao surpassed any Hell lord. Lucifer had not misjudged; Bi Xiao was much stronger than Jehovah of Heaven. Without Heaven's authority, Jehovah's defeat at Bi Xiao's hands was only a matter of time.
Lucifer could hardly imagine how Bi Xiao, as a human, had grown to such a level.
His talent was terrifying, something Lucifer had never seen.
In the brief skirmish, Lucifer was nearly suffocated by Bi Xiao's relentless attacks, an indescribable despair forcing him to constantly defend and retreat, every second a torment, his heart pounding.
Fearing that Bi Xiao could decapitate him at any moment.
This was no exaggeration. Before becoming the Fallen Angel King, Lucifer was a top combat angel in Heaven, his battle talent unmatched by Gabriel or Michael.
He was well-versed in combat of this level.
But against Bi Xiao, his proud combat skills seemed like mere flourishes. Bi Xiao's imaginative thinking and mastery of swordsmanship and physical control, combined with immense power and speed, left him constantly on the brink of danger. The Hell lords' indiscriminate bombardment, to some extent, had saved him.
Lucifer had tried to use dark magic, but Bi Xiao gave him no chance, forcing him to focus solely on defense.
A moment's distraction would mean death.
