Chapter 1954: Chapter 1954

Raising his hand, a Yuan Power Shield appeared, directly blocking the opponent’s attack.

Du You didn’t hesitate at all, and a large number of Shadow Spirit Light Balls appeared around him, which he launched towards the opponent.

What Du You didn’t expect was that the Abyss Demon used its staff to strike the Shadow Spirit Light Balls, directly knocking them away. Each Shadow Spirit Light Ball hit would immediately lose control.

He could only watch helplessly as his attacks flew away, not knowing where they went. If they hit a world, they would pierce through it directly. Even the neighboring tier-nine worlds would be left with deep scars.

It was the first time Du You had encountered such a situation. His power could erode the opponent’s power, but the opponent’s power could also erode his. What Du You didn’t know was that while he was surprised, the opponent was actually even more surprised. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Since becoming the pinnacle of Abyss Demons for so many years, no matter when he fought, he had never encountered such a troublesome opponent. Every attack was met with a countershock, and even the strange black flames could have some impact on him. If he got hit too many times, he would inevitably get injured.

At their level, it’s not easy to get injured, but once injured, recovery becomes even more troublesome.

Suddenly, the Abyss Demon turned into a shadow and disappeared. No, it didn’t disappear; it had instantaneously increased its speed to extreme levels, faster than the bursts of the two sisters.

Because it was so fast, it gave the impression that the opponent had suddenly vanished. Around Du You appeared blocks of Yuan Power Shields, like individual shields, which moved lightly to block the opponent’s attacks.

The opponent continuously disappeared and reappeared, attacking him wildly. If it were a normal person, they probably couldn’t block it, but for Du You, it was relatively easy, without needing to release a full shield.

Du You had already realized that this Abyss Demon, though powerful, was mainly skilled in close combat.

In terms of combat ability, without using the Origin weapon, he was actually stronger than the opponent.

Of course, that was assuming the opponent didn’t have any hidden special methods. Who knew what kind of means an old demon that had survived for so long might have? Du You was also cautiously on guard.

However, after an unknown period of time, the opponent was still just gathering power with that staff for frenzied assaults. The attack speed was getting faster, the power seemed to be increasing, but the opponent had no other means.

"I ask, do you have any other attack methods or not?" Du You’s consciousness echoed in the void.

The Abyss Demon’s crazed eyes calmed for a moment, realizing that his attacks didn’t even breach the opponent’s defense. Who on earth was this person? Wasn’t it said he was magic-class, yet so skilled in defense? How scared of death he must be.

Demons do fear death, but they prefer attacking over defending, not much favoring absolute defense.

The Abyss Demon didn’t speak, continuing its attack, the powerful assaults relentlessly smashed against Du You’s Yuan Power Shield, each attack causing some erosion to his shield.

Du You was getting a bit impatient. "If you don’t make your move, then it will be my turn."

What looked like an intense battle to ordinary people was somewhat boring to Du You.

Suddenly, numerous Hellfire Spiders emerged from the void, a perfect ability against one relying entirely on close combat. Yet the opponent clearly sensed the location of the Hellfire Spiders.

Without needing the Hellfire Spiders to release their aura, even when restrained, their presence was felt.

Yet again, with a single strike, the Hellfire Spiders didn’t explode but were hit and flew away.

Du You released the Devouring Swamp again, a vast, sticky, dark power appearing in the void. However, Du You hadn’t expected the opponent to adapt well to such an environment; its speed was only slightly affected.

Later on, the opponent even used the adhesive’s fluidity to gain acceleration, boosting its speed further.

It seems dealing with such an ancient creature really requires avoiding these technical environmental methods. They had experienced countless battles, making Du You no match in terms of combat experience, so he opted for direct attacks.

Releasing the Disintegration Spell, the opponent, caught off guard, was directly hit on the wing.

In the next moment, light flashed on the wing, offsetting the Disintegration Spell, but leaving a crack.

This was the first injury either side had inflicted since the battle began. Though small, it was still a dangerous signal.

"Damn it, how is this human so strong?" He could tell Du You hadn’t used his full strength yet, while he himself had fully unleashed his power and still wasn’t a match.

If things continued , with his wounds slowly accumulating, there would be no good ending.

Just then, an unseen soul attack swept in. The Abyss Demon’s expression changed, wielding its staff in defense to ward off the Soul Pierce.

"It’s a soul attack; how does this guy even have such dangerous stuff?"

Du You also noticed the opponent’s shift. "I see, afraid of soul attacks, huh? Even if it’s a bluff, I’ll go with it for now." Du You’s power restored quickly, with no worry of exhaustion.

So Du You unhesitatingly unleashed a string of Soul Pierces. Now, close combat was impossible.

Because this thing’s attack speed was too quick, even faster than his own moves.

After repeatedly blocking numerous attacks, a Soul Pierce finally hit the Abyss Demon. The Abyss Demon groaned, seemingly injured. "Human, this isn’t over; I’ll take your life next time."

Saying so, the Abyss Demon turned into a black mist and vanished in a blink.

When Du You noticed the issue and wanted to pursue, it was too late. "It’s not spatial power, nor speed; what exactly is this ability?" Du You’s face was puzzled, as he couldn’t discern the ability.

It’s inherently difficult to pursue when a tier-nine expert decides to flee. With this specialized escape ability, Du You had even less chance. Such warriors, though killing them yields great rewards, are exceedingly challenging to take down.

Having killed several tier-nine experts, Du You had thought no tier-nine could easily escape from him, but he hadn’t expected this turn of events. Was he perhaps a bit overconfident?

What Du You didn’t know was that on the other side, the Abyss Demon, who had just escaped, was breathing heavily, with a severely grave expression due to the soul injury.
