Chapter 2095  Last Ditch Effort

He held the chain in his hand tighter, annoyed that he never really bothered to learn a better technique. Ever since he had found the tomb where he met his master, he had been taught demonic techniques and had mostly focused himself on poisons and toxins.

That was his main weapon when it came to any battle. However, against this young man, he knew poisons would do nothing, so his main weapon was unusable. He had set up the entire formation with poisonous air to test out if what he had seen back in the sect that day was true. The young man hadn\'t even noticed that he was in the presence of poison.

\'What sort of monstrous body constitution does he have?\' he had wondered. Because he was certain poison didn\'t work against the young man before him, he was forced to use the chain instead.

Despite being not very good at it, he was sure he could use it against the young man. After all, he was so very weak in comparison. And yet somehow, thanks to either pills or some forbidden technique, he had brought out enough power from within himself to fight him without losing.

The teleportation was annoying and he had been forced to use his Spirit. Even that hadn\'t worked at first, but Teng Zhengmian kept trying. And it appeared that it had now worked. He was cut rather badly, the attack burning his body. The heat was so high too and it hurt so badly, but he ignored it as much as he could. He stared at the young man before him and knew that he was down on his last leg, desperate. \'You want to run away,\' he thought. \'But there is no chance for you to do so. The only thing you can do is fight. Come on. Let me see how long your desperation can keep you alive.\'

Alex teleported and the man focused all of his senses on finding him. He sensed a glimpse to the left, and then one further behind him. He kept a tight hold on his chains, not using it immediately. He needed to make sure he didn\'t attack and leave himself off-guard.

More teleportation. Far to his right, then close to his front, then far to his back. And then… Gone. Alex was gone.

"What?" the man thought, quickly sensing all around him, trying to find Alex. But he was nowhere to be found. Did he… teleport away?

"No!" the man shouted, spreading his senses outside of the formation. At that very moment, from within a fold in space itself, Alex appeared, traveling straight for the man. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There you are!" the man shouted, waiting for Alex to disappear once again. He held onto the chain until the very last moment before swinging it. He struck out and the chain slammed into Alex, destroying him at once.

Alex\'s body exploded into glorious lights, fading into the wind.

Before the man could even figure out what had happened, he sensed the aura right next to him, burning bright and hot. He moved, but too late.

The sword swing came, bringing with it the last vestiges of what remained of Godslayer\'s powers upon Alex. He had not just used all Godslayer could safely drain from him to let him fight but also partly into that which should not have been drained.

To make sure his attack worked, Alex had to give it his all.

The attack landed and the man burned.

An explosion appeared upon impact, bringing with it hot flames that erupted into the sky.

Alex wavered, stepping back with some trouble, and collapsed onto the ground. The dark tendrils around his body slowly receded back into his Spiritual sea where even Godslayer could feel the fatigue on his spirit.

Alex felt every inch of his body in pain, far worse than even when he was body cultivating. The toxin in his body was also attacking him throughout, and yet his body could only slow it down, and not completely get rid of it.

Everything within him had completely dried out at the moment.

Pearl appeared outside and pulled him away from the explosion.

"Brother, are you alright?" Pearl asked, checking on Alex.

Alex took heavy breaths to try and answer and even then found himself unable to. He had to tell what he was feeling through their bond. Pearl immediately panicked when he got the answer. "It\'ll be alright, brother," he said, letting Alex lay down properly. "Should you take healing pills, or—"

Pearl turned around, looking in the direction of the fire. His eyes widened in shock as Teng Zhengmian walked out of it, still alive.

He was missing his right arm and the front of his body was charred from the fire, but he was still alive. He stumbled forward, and Pearl moved on ahead.

The man paused and suddenly burst out into laughter. "Did you think you can kill me, with just that?" he asked. He pulled out a pill and ate it.

His missing arm began regrowing and the charred bits of his body fell where new tissue began growing again. "I must give you praise for hurting me so badly. I never thought that would be possible for someone that was as weak as you," the man said, ignoring Pearl who stood before him. "But now, you must die."

Alex watched the man, ready to attack. He had been waiting for this. If he attacked Pearl right now, he would trigger Bai Jingshen\'s protection and end up dying. He had already confirmed the man had no protections, so this would most definitely work.

It meant giving up another lifeline, but it was for a good cause, so Alex didn\'t feel any pain when seeing it go away like that.

The man raised his hand, the chain rattling along, ready to attack. Pearl roared in a last-ditch effort to stop him but was unable to. It did not work. The man brought down his hand and swung the chain.

The world seemed to come down with the chain as well.

Alex saw the chain come toward them, not a single hint of fear in his eyes as he was sure what would happen next.

The chain… never landed on him or Pearl. It simply vanished.

A second later, bits of metal rained all around them like rain coming down from the sky. The shower of metal surprised all 3 of them as none could tell what had happened.

Alex and Pearl were certainly surprised, but neither came close to feeling what Teng Zhengmian was feeling.

"What did you do?" he asked, demanding an answer. But even as he asked, he knew that it could not be either of the two that had just destroyed his chains.

His eyes moved at that moment, looking around, searching. And near the barrier, he found the culprit.
