Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 901: Meow
Previously on Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?...
As the offspring of the Golden Dragon King, North-South Green Bean Haimi, with its million-year Battle Power, was certainly no pushover.
Boom!
Before the ground's tremor faded, azure-golden flames burst forth from distant ruins.
North-South Green Bean Haimi regained its balance in mid-air, having been propelled away.
Its mind, reeling from the previous blow, slowly started to clear.
In the following instant, a hum—!
Ancient runes shimmered across its bronze scales, effectively neutralizing seventy to eighty percent of the formidable power from Chen Huaian's earlier strike.
Aside from being a bit disheveled and dusty, it remained completely unscathed.
"Hah—!!!"North-South Green Bean Haimi was incandescent with rage.
It was the sovereign of the Starry Sky Great Forest, a Demigod Level being. When had it ever endured such a mortifying humiliation?
Its enormous form rapidly shrank, then shot back like a cyan cannonball, traversing thousands of miles in an instant to rejoin the fray.
"Battle Technique—Dragon King's Roar!"
North-South Green Bean Haimi reared up, its broad chest expanding dramatically. It then opened its fearsome maw, aiming directly at the minuscule Chen Huaian.
Hum—
At this precise moment, the surrounding space seemed to solidify.
An immense, mountain-like phantom of a golden dragon, radiating the imperial majesty of a world ruler, materialized with a powerful roar behind Haimi.
This was no mere illusion; it was a divine manifestation of its bloodline's origin, the embodiment of its Golden Dragon King heritage.
Golden sound waves radiated outward like ripples on water. Where they passed, space fractured, triggering a cascade of explosions that surged toward Chen Huaian.
For the other combatants not directly in the path of the attack, an overwhelming, soul-crushing pressure descended.
"Ugh..."
Within the debris of toppled ancient trees in the distance, even Bixixi, a cultivator at the Legendary Battle Master level, was pressed firmly into the ground by this residual force. The effort to move a single finger was beyond her. It was the suppression of life's hierarchy, the utter despair of a mortal confronting a deity.
However.
At the epicenter of this golden pressure, potent enough to compel Legendary Battle Masters to their knees.
The man clad in snow-white garments simply let out a cold chuckle.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he advanced.
Tap, tap, tap.
The distinct sound of his footsteps echoed sharply within the oppressive silence of the pressure field.
The violent golden sound waves washed over him like a gentle breeze against a mountain peak, failing to stir even the edge of his robes.
He moved with such unhurried grace, as if strolling.
It resembled someone admiring flowers in their private garden, not standing within the lethal domain of a million-year-old World Beast.
"This... how can this be?!"
North-South Green Bean Haimi's clouded vertical pupils instantly dilated into perfect circles as it gulped audibly.
It was a million-year World Beast, bearing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon God. Even if it was somewhat slow-witted, any standard Battle Technique should have been sufficient to challenge a human.
But this human... no, this entity did not seem human at all!
Before North-South Green Bean Haimi could ascertain the true nature of Chen Huaian...
Whoosh.
The figure in white vanished from sight without a trace.
There was no disturbance in space; even afterimages disintegrated under its extreme velocity.
In the subsequent moment.
Chen Huaian materialized directly below the vast chest and abdomen of North-South Green Bean Haimi.
He gazed upward at the sky-obscuring cyan scales above, a cold, sharp smile playing on his lips.
His right fist clenched.
It drew back towards his waist.
Then, without any preamble or flourish, he launched a punch directly upwards.
"Inch Force."
Thump————!!!
A muffled sound resonated.
The sound was not particularly loud, akin to striking a worn piece of leather.
But in the very next second.
Haimi's enormous frame suddenly froze, its eyeballs protruding, bloodshot.
To everyone's clear view, upon its seemingly impenetrable bronze breastplate,
a distinct ring of shockwaves erupted instantaneously. The hardened scales rippled and fractured like waves.
The terrifying kinetic energy penetrated its body, blasting a hundred-meter-wide vacuum hole through the sky directly behind it.
BOOM!!!
The colossal body was once again sent hurtling away.
This time, its trajectory was lower, flatter.
Like a spinning top struck with tremendous force by a playful child,
North-South Green Bean Haimi slid and tumbled uncontrollably across the ground at extreme speed.
Everything in its path, whether towering ancient trees or solid bedrock, was utterly annihilated by its metallic form.
Another canyon, ten miles long and bottomless, was gouged into existence by its passage.
Dust billowed skyward, and fragments of rock were flung through the air.
Witnessing this spectacle, Bixixi was utterly astonished.
This... could this even be considered a 'battle'?
Then what did her previous back-and-forth fight with two hundred-thousand-year World Beasts count as?
Playing house?!
However, North-South Green Bean Haimi was not dead.
This creature's vitality and defensive power were simply outrageously strong.
"ROAR!!"
It staggered to its feet from the ruins, the fury in its eyes having turned to madness.
"Battle Technique—Haimi's Sky-Rending Claw!"
"Battle Technique—Jimmy's Dragon Flame Explosion!"
"Battle Technique—Mighty Charge!"
It charged again and again, unleashing terrifying Battle Techniques capable of destroying cities each time.
But the result...
Smack!
Chen Huaian sidestepped to avoid the claw capable of tearing space, then backhanded a slap across its face, sending it spinning three and a half rotations in the air.
Boom!
Chen Huaian single-handedly crushed the sky-full of dragon flames, then flew up and kicked it in the stomach, sending it crashing hundreds of meters deep into the earth.
...
Around them.
Bixixi and the surviving fighters of the Battle Soul Hall were becoming somewhat numb.
Their mouths hung agape, their eyes glazed over, as if performing in an absurd silent film.
That was a million-year World Beast!
The pinnacle of combat power on this continent, the legendary descendant of divine beasts!
Yet at this moment, it was like a sandbag being casually kneaded, being ground into the dirt by that white-clothed man.
Apart from the teeth-grating sounds of physical collisions and the increasingly pitiful wails of North-South Green Bean Haimi, no other sounds remained in this forest.
Finally.
Huff... huff...
After being sent flying a consecutive eighteen times.
North-South Green Bean Haimi finally couldn't get up anymore.
More than half of the scales covering its body were shattered. Its originally ferocious and imposing face was now swollen like a steamed bun, bruised and battered, utterly disheveled.
Panting heavily, it crawled before Chen Huaian, its limbs trembling.
"Really tough..."
Chen Huaian looked at the mountain of meat before him and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Apart from having maxed-out defense, this creature was indeed utterly mediocre.
Its attack methods were simple and crude, lacking any sinister skills targeting the Divine Soul, and possessing no Law power.
If the opponent had some Battle Techniques targeting the Divine Soul, it would have posed a significant threat to his current Battle Soul form.
Unfortunately... this thing was purely a meat shield.
"Since you're so resistant to beatings..."
Chen Huaian frowned slightly, slowly raising his right hand. A sharp, keen Sword Intent was coalescing in his palm.
"Then I'll just slice you up."
Sensing that chilling intent, sufficient to dismember it into pieces.
North-South Green Bean Haimi's muddled brain achieved an unprecedented level of clarity in that instant.
Its vertical pupils flashed with a remarkably human-like mix of terror and resolve.
The next second.
Under the utterly bewildered gazes of everyone.
This once-arrogant million-year Fierce Beast, its short forelimbs suddenly wrapped around its head.
Thump!
Its mountain-like body, with extreme smoothness and practiced ease... knelt down.
Its eyes were clear, its butt and tail sticking high up in the air, as it let out a whimper filled with fawning and pleading:
"Meow~"
