Chapter 499: The End!
cold!
The icy, bone-chilling seawater stimulated Arataki Ichito's senses, then quickly made him lose consciousness.
He is falling.
Bubbles kept gushing from his mouth and nose. Arataki Ichito struggled to open his eyes, but all he could see was darkness, with only a sliver of light coming from above.
The crimson light wafting from his right shoulder flashed before his eyes, barely restoring a sliver of his sanity.
He was fighting Chi Feng hand-to-hand, but unfortunately, he lost.
Even if half of his head were torn apart with a single, sharp blow, his energy body would allow him to quickly repair himself.
On the contrary, he no longer has the strength to use the gecko to regenerate his lost arm.
As he was enveloped by the seawater and sank deeper, a feeling of weightlessness washed over him, sending a shiver down his spine and instantly clearing most of his hazy consciousness.
No, we can't keep sinking like this, we have to get back up!
In the face of life and death, Arataki Ichito's amazing will to survive erupts once again!
He struggled to move his broken and powerless body upwards at a steady and slow pace.
However, just a dozen seconds later, waves suddenly erupted on the sea above, and a monster took the opportunity to dive down.
It's Chi Feng!!
Araki Ichito's gaze was solemn, showing no surprise whatsoever.
Although he had lost, his opponent's energy was almost depleted, and he would die in no time.
Let alone continuing to destroy Shenyu Valley, it would be impossible for him to even get to Xiao's side.
Therefore, Chi Feng can only continue to hunt him down and use the energy he gains from devouring him to have a chance to defeat Xiao and avenge himself.
In a sense, Chi Feng was the one who was racing against death.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you..."
Silently reciting this sentence in his heart, Araki Ichito clenched his only fist, his body adopting a fierce fighting stance, his indomitable spirit blooming like flames in the water, facing the approaching opponent head-on.
"They haven't lost their fighting spirit yet?!"
Seeing the man's stubborn eyes, bright as starlight, Chi Feng fell silent once again.
Now he had to admit that the guy in front of him had earned his respect.
An unwavering will, an indomitable spirit, a determination to live even in the face of death...
If we disregard factors such as era, identity, grudges, and stance, Chi Feng might even invite the other party to become his kin.
Since we respect this will, we must respond to it.
Chi Feng accelerated instantly, tearing through the seawater, and rushed towards Huanglong Yidou like a sharp arrow.
The monster's figure approached from afar, and in just a moment, its massive, fanged mouth was upon them.
With all his might, Huanglong Yidou tilted his head to the side and kicked Chifeng in the stomach.
However, with his injuries so severe that he didn't even have the strength to activate his abilities, Araki Ichito was now only holding on by sheer willpower and was in no condition to launch any powerful attacks.
This ordinary kick seemed exceptionally sluggish in the water. Even though Arataki Ichito used all his strength, it only landed lightly on Chifeng, leaving him completely unharmed.
Chi Feng stumbled in the water, then quickly turned around and approached Huanglong Yidou.
Next... another battle in the water.
No, it's less of a fight and more of a cat-and-mouse game.
The cat approached again and again, wanting to swallow the mouse whole.
The mouse dodged with all its might each time, its weak attacks barely scratching the surface.
And... this game is almost over.
Having been in the water for so long, he had already lost all his oxygen. If the stalemate continued, even if he wasn't swallowed by Chifeng, he would suffocate and die!
Bubbles escaped from his mouth and nose, and Huanglong Yidou's eyelids trembled violently as he focused intently on dodging Chifeng's every attack.
Chi Feng persevered, but his time was also running out, and he could dissipate at any moment due to energy issues.
Turning his body again, Chi Feng saw that Arataki Ichito's face was bluish-purple, and he was overjoyed.
He's dying!
With the feeling that the battle was finally over, Chi Feng increased his speed by three points and launched a rapid charge.
However, just as Chi Feng's teeth were about to touch Huang Long Yidou, the latter suddenly disappeared before his eyes, leaving him empty-handed.
Araki Ichito bent down and threw a jab at Chifeng's abdomen.
The fist, with its exposed knuckles, overcame the resistance of the water and struck the abdomen without causing the slightest ripple.
Chi Feng chuckled mockingly, and just as he was about to bend down and devour it, a strange burning sensation rose in his abdomen.
The sensation was sometimes like scorching lava, sometimes like millennia-old ice; the feeling of being in both fire and ice brought Chi Feng a long-lost, intense pain.
What horrified him even more was that his own energy was starting to drain away towards his abdomen at a rate several times faster!
He suddenly looked down at his abdomen.
Black flames began to burn on his grayish-blue skin, both cold and hot, frantically devouring his energy.
And the source of those black flames... was none other than Arataki Ichito!
"You...you bastard!!"
Chi Feng was enraged and lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.
Araki Ichito's left hand, burning with black flames, pressed against Chi Feng's chin, then spread across his entire head, his face filled with an excited and manic smile.
"Finally...finally...we succeeded!!"
【Darkfire (Stage Two Hellfire)】
[Description: The temperature can range from scorching hot like the sun to freezing cold like snow, possessing properties such as burning, freezing, paralysis, and interruption.]
[Once it starts burning, it will continue indefinitely unless ordered to do so by the individual. It can also absorb other forms of energy, producing different effects, and can even burn itself to neutralize residual energy in wounds and prevent the injury from spreading.]
The energy absorbed by the Hellfire is being transferred into Arataki Ichito's body, and their auras are beginning to align.
Meanwhile, with the Hellfire engulfing him, Chi Feng had no chance of turning the tide. This round was a desperate victory for him!
"What...what kind of ability is this?!"
Chi Feng's trembling voice reached his ears, but Huang Long Yidou had no mood to reply, and only kept increasing the intensity of his extraction.
While Hellfire is powerful, it is also a type of Abyss power, so Arataki Ichito doesn't want to reveal it unless absolutely necessary.
At that time, he concealed a wisp of Hellfire within the power of magma, so that even Chi Feng in front of him could not detect it.
After his abdomen was pierced, he precisely concealed the Hellfire within his body, and then waited for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
In retrospect, that strike was a success.
During the energy extraction process, Chi Feng began a hysterical struggle, attempting to turn the tide once again.
Unfortunately, after only ten seconds, he lost the three limbs that allowed him to move, and soon died again, filled with resentment.
The mighty demon god, the lord of the Yakshas, Chi Feng, departed hastily without even having the chance to deliver his last words.
After all the energy particles in the sky merged into Arataki Ichito's body, he tightly gripped his remaining bluish-black arm, signaling the end of the entire incident.
At the same time, the seawater above suddenly surged, and strands of pure immortal power transformed into countless golden ribbons that rushed towards Arata Ichito, tightly enveloping him.
As he closed his eyes for the last moment, Araki Kazuto thought to himself,
"Damn it! It's finally over. I'm so tired I could die!"
