Ye Zheng had penetrated An Nuo's chest, and injured her heart.
Just as he was about to crush the monster's heart into pieces, An Nuo shook her body frantically and threw him out.
Ye Zheng consumed a huge amount of energy and was unable to stand steadily on the slippery ground.
An Nuo's eyes were shut tight, the sockets of her eyes were filled with blood, she had spread open her arms, her palms and forearms ignited with raging flames, ignoring her injuries, she pounced towards Ye Zheng while howling.
"Burn your skin dry … "Melt your bones …"
An Nuo had already entered into a crazed state. She wanted to tightly hug Ye Zheng and let the elemental flames turn him into ashes.
Seeing An Nuo's door open, as long as he made an accurate heavy punch, he would be able to hit her fatal points. But when Ye Zheng channeled his inner strength, he only felt that the inside of his body was empty, with no place to exert strength.
All of his energy was contained in that fatal punch, and he was powerless to fight back.
"Give me a few seconds... so that I can save up a little bit of energy... "Heavens, you aren't even willing to give me a second …"
Seeing An Nuo's hideous and bloodstained face getting closer and closer, and the scorching heat wave assaulting her face, Ye Zheng's heart was suddenly filled with despair.
However, this despair was gone in a flash, like a breeze.
A real man died in the battlefield.
Ye Zheng's face revealed a proud smile, as he prepared to welcome his own tragic death.
When An Nuo was still several meters away from him, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Gao Xiaowen knelt on one knee, stretched out both of her hands, and made a few complicated movements.
A portion of the rainwater beneath An Nuo's feet had actually frozen, temporarily obstructing her movements.
"Elemental Essence Conversion!"
Contains many techniques.
Transforming inner force into fire was just one of them. There was another technique, which could turn the flowing water into solidified ice.
If it was a face-to-face fight, Gao Xiaowen whose internal energy was damaged simply wouldn't have the time to calmly gather energy. But at this moment, she seized this fleeting opportunity and cleverly stopped An Nuo's movements.
"Ye Zheng, last strike!"
Gao Xiaowen loudly warned.
Ye Zheng knew that success or failure would be decided in this one blow. He held his breath and concentrated, trying his best to slowly dig out and gather the remaining Inner Qi in his body from his limbs and bones, preparing to launch a decisive strike.
An Nuo roared in anger, she exerted force with her legs and the ice layer slowly broke.
The key to life or death lay in who could recover from the attack first.
An Nuo exerted force with her feet and with a kacha sound, the entire layer of ice shattered.
She roared and threw herself forward, a pair of claws reaching towards Ye Zheng's throat.
Suddenly, An Nuo stopped moving.
Ye Zheng unleashed a sharp blade palm, rising up from the ground, like a bolt of lightning, it swept across quickly, as though it was a sharp blade slicing through the air.
An Nuo's ugly face was filled with astonishment. Blood veins slowly surfaced on her face and a few seconds later, "Pu"
A deep gash appeared on her forehead, her cheeks, her jaw, and even her chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
The beast let out a shrill howl, covering the wound with both hands as it staggered back.
"Bells ring for you, monster."
Ye Zheng took a big step forward, supported his left leg on the ground, and swept his right leg out.
With that, An Nuo's thick and strong leg bones nearly broke, and her steps became even more unsteady.
"Lowly bugs... "You …"
The dying An Nuo became angry from the embarrassment. She used her claws forcefully, but only hit the air.
A cruel smile appeared on Ye Zheng's face as he opened up his arms, as if he was enjoying the torment on this monster's body and spirit.
His elbow and knee strike caused An Nuo's body to fall onto the thick battlements. He rolled for a bit, then fell face first onto the ground.
"Ye Zheng, that's enough. Leave her alive! "
Kessler shouted, struggling to keep his balance.
"Put her back into that dilapidated cage of yours?"
Ye Zheng laughed mockingly as he bent down, grabbed An Nuo's neck, and pulled her heavy body up to the stone wall.
At this time, the overweeningly arrogant monster that looked fierce had completely disappeared. In front of Gao Xiaowen and Kessler's eyes, was only a mangled, ugly animal that was on the verge of death.
An Nuo suddenly stretched out his right claw and grabbed Ye Zheng's shoulder. The claw was ignited in flames, but the intensity of the flames was much weaker than before.
Ye Zheng was unafraid of the burning pain.
With a sound, he broke her wrist.
"Is this the so-called God?"
Ye Zheng laughed.
At this moment, he was also covered in wounds, but the ecstasy of revenge was surging in his body, making him forget the pain he was feeling, and only think about how to torture and humiliate his enemies.
The beast-like An Nuo stood blankly where she was, as her body underwent a change. The characteristics of the dragon and monster slowly disappeared, and she returned back to that skinny An Nuo.
However, the scar Ye Zheng left behind remained permanently: She was almost completely naked, and fresh blood gurgled out of the hole in his chest. One of his arms was broken, and he hung there powerlessly with his eyes closed, two streams of blood flowing out of his eye sockets.
"The beast transformation energy has disappeared?"
Kessler gasped for breath and pushed himself up against the battlements, surprise in his blue eyes.
An Nuo, who was on the verge of death, muttered, "The insignificant human … I have undergone the most radical transformation... I am the strongest god... "Why …"
"You're just a pathetic worm in a monster's shell. Strength does not come from the body, but from the heart. "
When Ye Zheng saw An Nuo's body, in an instant, a trace of sympathy arose from the bottom of her heart;
"My biggest mistake is to fight you to the death... Why … "What qualifications do you have to …"
An Nuo seemed to be in a daze, she did not seem to care about Ye Zheng, and was only mumbling to herself.
In normal battles, when the dying Ye Zheng crosses the river of life and death, he will obtain an even stronger power.
Every step he made, every victory he won, was based on this.
However, he made a mistake: as a demon god, An Nuo had a similar characteristic.
Hatred and anger were catalysts to increase one's strength. This logic would also apply to An Nuo.
An Nuo's eyes were already blind and only a blurry scarlet color remained in front of her eyes, as if she was on the verge of death.
However, a bad premonition surfaced in Ye Zheng's heart, he felt that this woman's power was quickly recovering.
Gao Xiaowen had a smile on her face as she walked towards Ye Zheng.
"When you control me, you should kill me."
An Nuo laughed as her broken body suddenly jumped into the air. Both of her hands violently struck downwards, causing the top floor of the heavy castle to collapse one after another. Ye Zheng and Gao Xiaowen almost fell down at the same time.
Ye Zheng's fists and legs struck out frequently, smashing the stones that fell down. Kessler leaned on the battlements, staying far away from the center of the crater and not falling along with them.
Ye Zheng agilely jumped up, only to see An Nuo jumping towards the ocean direction.
Her body rolled a few times in the air before falling straight into the roaring sea. She immediately disappeared.
At some point, the torrential rain had stopped.
Moonlight shone through the black clouds, illuminating the ruined castle and the stormy sea.
Ye Zheng, who had survived the desperate battle, stood unmoving in the moonlight like a statue.
