Chapter 0864: Kind-Hearted Brother Zhao

"Zhao Jingyu is truly a kind soul,” Li Luo said when he saw the Dual Face True Devil going for Zhao Jingyu. His tense heart relaxed a little, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

In that case, there was finally a glimmer of hope in getting out of this precarious predicament.

Zhao Jingyu would have to face the Dual Face True Devil whether he liked it or not. This really took a huge burden off Li Luo's chest.

At least now, he could focus on fighting the Big Belly True Devil.

Li Luo turned his attention back to the strange, fat figure in front of him. If not for the huge mouth on its fleshy belly, this Big Belly True Devil would look just like any other ordinary human despite being a Catastrophe-class True Devil Other.

Li Luo had never encountered any Others of this class before. Back in the Umbra Cave of the college and the Holy Grail Meet in the Blackwind Empire, the most powerful Other he had met was only a Disaster-class.

The Big Belly True Devil did not appear as terrifying and odd as the Disaster-class Other from a distance. However, the terrifying pressure emanating from it sent chills into anyone who laid eyes on it.

It was especially true for the huge mouth in its belly. It was constantly chewing, and the fresh blood that kept dripping from it left a very glaring trail on its white skin.

Standing behind him, the faces of Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, and many of the Green Nether Banner members also turned a little white. They were all thankful that the Green Nether Banner was here together. If they had encountered such a crisis alone, they might not even have a chance to escape.

"Hehe." The Big Belly True Devil grinned as it stared at Li Luo.

It then slapped its own belly a few times, and a dark, gooey substance was spat out of its huge mouth. The substance was like an enormous, black river that flowed across the vast land, leaving the ground eroded and filled with wicked poison wherever it passed through.

Just like this, the black river surged straight towards Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner.

Li Luo took a deep breath as soon as he saw this. Forming hand seals with both hands, the power from the Green Nether Banner surged rapidly.

"Nine Revolutions Art, Heavenly Dragon Lightning Breath!"

Facing a True Devil Other that was as strong as Duke, Li Luo was not going to start off by probing its strength—he went for a decisive move straight away.

Enormous energy surged up, and an illusory dragon manifestation materialized. The dragon manifestation let out a deafening roar as it opened its maw, and wave after wave of lightning dragonbreath spewed out of it.

Boom!

The air exploded with a deafening boom when the lightning dragonbreath pierced through the sky.

It collided directly with the black river, and the two attacks started to consume each other. The ground that came into contact with just the shockwave of the collision cracked open into a spider web-like pattern.

Just like this, they were at stalemate for a while before the lightning dragonbreath disintegrated the black river completely, and the remnants shot towards the Big Belly True Devil.

Seeing this, the Big Belly True Devil gave its belly another slap. Its huge mouth full of sharp fangs opened up speedily and it swallowed up the remaining lightning dragonbreath.

CRACKLE! POP!

When the lightning dragonbreath was in its belly, lightning crackled on the surface of its body and left it with many bleeding holes. The flesh and blood from these holes turned black, and stinky, black blood flowed out of it.

However, the Big Belly True Devil’s body was much stronger than imagined. It wriggled its fat folds a little, and they gradually started to cover up the bloody holes.

Seeing this, Li Luo narrowed his eyes. He had gotten a sense of the Big Belly True Devil's true power now.

Based on the strength of its energy, it should be around the level of an upper first-grade Duke. It was not much stronger than Li Luo in the state of Harmony, as his Harmony energy had improved after his breakthrough as well.

There was no need for Li Luo to fear it in a one-on-one situation.

However, he did not plan to have a deathmatch with the Big Belly True Devil here. Ultimately, there was still the threat of Zhao Jingyu and the Dual Face True Devil behind.

His top priority now was to get out of this predicament and meet up with Li Fengyi and the rest.

As Li Luo was thinking about this, the Big Belly True Devil started laughing all of a sudden. Its laughter was pretty gentle, but it seemed unusually hollow, as if it lacked any emotion.

At this moment, it raised its palm and gave its belly a hard slap.

Pa!

Following the crisp sound, the flesh on its belly moved like waves. It opened its huge mouth, then its belly started tearing open and rose rapidly into the sky.

It was an extremely grotesque sight as they watched the huge mouth expand high up into the air.

Ptui!

The huge mouth spat out a dark light that opened up like a curtain, covering the entire region in just a short moment.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness with not a single ray of light being able to penetrate through it.

For a moment, it was as if they had lost all their senses.

The expressions of Li Luo and Zhao Jingyu changed immediately as they were both covered by the curtain.

In fact, the most disturbing part of it all was a faint, odd voice that kept repeating in the air. It felt like a kind of signal that was calling out to other True Devil Others.

Was the Big Belly True Devil thinking of trapping them here and summoning all the other True Devil Others over to gang up on them?

Li Luo felt a chill in his heart. This True Devil Other was truly intelligent.

Without any hesitation, he summoned the Onyx-Elephant Blade and slashed down. A knife wheel that was hundreds of feet tall appeared in the air and flew towards the dark-curtain sky.

However, the curtain was like a blackhole—it simply swallowed up the knife wheel without any signs of taking damage.

Not far behind, Zhao Jingyu had also summoned up worldly natural energy and launched his attack. It was ineffective against this dark curtain as well.

His face changed as he shouted, "Li Luo, let's work together and break out of this dark curtain first! If not, we will be dead meat when the other True Devils make their way here!"

Li Luo's eyes moved a little, but he did not turn down the offer. "Alright," he replied.

The two of them summoned up an immense burst of energy without holding back and launched a combined attack at the same point.action

When their all-out attack struck the curtain, it started to rumble violently. Clearly, the Big Belly True Devil was not capable of trapping both Li Luo and Zhao Jingyu here with its strength alone.

However, the Dual Face True Devil started its offensive at this time.

Two gentle, smiling faces gradually appeared amidst the darkness. Their mouths started moving when they looked at each other, and a strange, low whisper could be heard.

The whispers emitted a corruption that was extremely strong and pervasive. Instantly, the mental states of both Li Luo and Zhao Jingyu started to waver and waves of negative emotions arose within them.

Moreover, even the members of the Green Nether Banner and the Tiger Division started to display signs of pain on their faces.

They were obviously affected by the corruption as well.

At this moment, Li Luo and Zhao Jingyu resisted the damage from the strange whispers. However, their attacks did not weaken at all. Instead, they grew stronger and stronger.

The black curtain vibrated violently, and faint cracks began to show.

When Zhao Jingyu saw the crack, he took another look at Li Luo with an icy smile on his face.

Crack!

The black curtain tore apart and revealed the outside sky.

In the same moment, a piece of ice chalcedony appeared on Zhao Jingyu's palm. When he crushed it, an extremely cold air surrounded him. The cold air contained the effect of purification, and the effects of the strange whispers from the Dual Face True Devil weakened significantly in an instant.

The Tiger Division members seemed to have also recovered as well.

"Li Luo, thanks for your help. This place suits you more. You can stay behind and enjoy it!"

Zhao Jingyu let out a cold laugh, then his energy surged up and he flew away with his people. They were headed directly for the opening in the dark curtain.

On the other hand, Li Luo was distracted by the Dual Face True Devil, so his speed was naturally slower. Once Zhao Jingyu exited, he could seal up the opening and leave Li Luo down below to fight against the two True Devil Others.

Just as Zhao Jingyu thought everything was turning out according to his plan, a deafening dragon chant suddenly resounded.

Li Luo had placed his hands together, and a giant Heavenly Dragon enveloped him and the Green Nether Banner. The Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment contained the might of the Heavenly Dragon, which was able to calm one's nerves and eliminate evil corruption. As such, the corruption from the Dual Face True Devil disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

Like a flash of light, Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner flew up into the air with the Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment. He got out through the opening one step ahead of Zhao Jingyu, and the latter looked at him with eyes of fury.

Zhao Jingyu tried to follow closely after him.

However, Li Luo simply sent out a punch without much expression. The punch was thousands of feet tall, and it knocked Zhao Jingyu one step back directly.

It was this small, little step that allowed the Dual Face True Devil to catch up. The female and male faces swelled up considerably and let out a strange, piercing sound this time.

It was so painful that Zhao Jingyu's ears started bleeding.

After which, he could only watch bleakly as the black curtain closed up. Li Luo and his members had broken out and left the area hastily.

At this point, his face was bursting with anger.

"Li Luo!"

An angry scream came from the black curtain behind him.

"Brother Zhao, hang in there! I'll go and seek help! You can do it!" Li Luo shouted. He did not look back and simply dashed away at full speed.
