Chapter 1660 - 532: As Long as You Don’t Compare, You Won’t Be Crushed!
Chapter 1660: Chapter 532: As Long as You Don’t Compare, You Won’t Be Crushed!
In the vertical pupils of the giant dragon, his sharp claws were unexpectedly stuck inside the Tree-man-like extraordinary plant, unable to penetrate further.
No, is this right?
This can’t be right, can it?
Even if he held back a bit out of complacency, this was still an 8th Rank level strike!
Even a normal 7th Rank transcendent would be severely injured taking this hit directly!
If it were truly a 7th Rank transcendent, it would be one thing.
Facing an extraordinary plant that merely reached the 7th Rank due to amplification, a plant that would be mere cannon fodder in other Mechanical Masters’ Mechanical Armies, it should have been torn apart instantly.
Yet now, his attack which he prepared to casually dispose of this Tree-man was actually withstood by it!
And according to the feedback from his claws, he even felt as if he was facing a martial artist of the same rank!
"What on earth are these plants? How have they become so resilient?
Just recently, when we encountered them, they were still as fragile as weeds..."
Flashes of these extraordinary plants’ performances in previous wars crossed his mind. Until yesterday, he was certain these plants could be easily shredded.
Yet just a day has passed, and Fan Mao’s extraordinary plants have somehow gained bodies comparable to those of martial artists!
But facing the crisis of life that was so close at hand, the shock in the dragon’s heart passed in a flash and he refocused on fighting.
Feeling the intensity of the physical strength and the pressure sensed from his claws embedded inside the Tree-man, the giant dragon suddenly exerted force with his claws, tearing within the Tree-man’s body.
The superpower organs in his body wildly absorbed magic power and activated simultaneously, injecting the superpower effect into the claw, causing a strong destructive superpower effect to erupt on the sharp claw.
Even though the Tree-man’s flesh was very abnormal, there was ultimately still a hard strength gap.
Faced with real 8th Rank power, the pierced torso of the Tree-man instantly exploded into a large hole, split in half.
The fist originally swinging towards him also paused.
But he could rely on his strength to respond, others might not be so fortunate.
This time, those coming to counter Fan Mao were not all 8th Rank!
Even if they had found a way to mass-produce high-level believers, there was a limit to this method, and their 8th Ranks were not endless.
Apart from him, half of those fighting this time were only 7th Rank believers.
For them, these extraordinary plants were still just targets difficult to kill, but for the 7th Ranks, they turned into an incredibly formidable foe, causing them to be caught in a fierce battle.
Several 7th Rank believers were each intercepted by a single extraordinary plant. One of them, also a believer of "Longevity," transformed into a giant dragon and slammed its claw onto the extraordinary plant in almost the same method.
But different from the 8th Rank predecessor, his claw wasn’t even able to break the defense successfully.
Only by relying on body size did he manage to slap the extraordinary plant away.
But immediately, a golden-green light suddenly rose from the extraordinary plant’s body.
As magic power full of life force surged forth and quickly integrated into the extraordinary plant, it expanded rapidly.
The originally grass-like vines began to become wooden, transforming into a huge Tree-man not inferior in size to the giant dragon, rushing back towards the 7th Rank dragon once more.
Dragon claw and the fist woven from tree vines clashed with a thunderous sound.
Without the disadvantage of body size, the Tree-man was no longer flung away.
Feeling the feedback from the dragon claw, the 7th Rank dragon felt like it was facing a formidable enemy; even its lizard-like head showed seriousness.
Originally, the kind of amplification effect akin to a Mechanical Master couldn’t enhance physical strength, and as a 7th Rank believer, transforming into a giant dragon should have given him an absolute advantage in physical strength.
But now this vine-like Tree-man gave him the feeling of facing a martial artist of the same rank, with strength not weaker than his, leaving him with no advantage.
"What exactly are you, what did Fan Mao do to you..."
After a round of confrontation, even the 7th Rank dragon was a bit dazed, as if the Tree-man before it was a real transcendent, unable to resist speaking.
But as soon as he spoke, the dragon realized that this was merely a Tree-man summoned by Fan Mao without consciousness, abruptly stopping his voice, he grit his teeth.
Realizing he couldn’t gain an advantage in strength, the 7th Rank dragon decisively switched his tactics.
He retracted his fist and twisted his body, using his thick tail to swing as cover, while his superpower organs constantly funneled magic power into his hand, transforming it back into a sharp claw as he swung out again after a spin.
Though the swinging tail left only a shallow mark on the Tree-man’s body, which healed in less than a second.
Yet at the same time, the swinging tail knocked away the Tree-man’s hands, preventing it from defending in time, and the claw imbued with magic power struck heavily onto the Tree-man’s body.
This time a charged strike finally left marks on the Tree-man, tearing deep claw marks in its body, exposing the wriggling dark blood flesh within.
Yet after receiving such a blow, the Tree-man seemed to feel nothing, utterly ignoring the injury, and taking advantage of the dragon’s attack gap, countered with its vine-woven fist smashing into the dragon’s shoulder.
The Tree-man pierced its vine-formed spike easily into his giant dragon body, bringing forth a spray of blood.
Seeing the Tree-man raise its arm again, seemingly intending to continue trading injuries, the dragon hastily opened its maw, gathered magic power in its throat, and unleashed a breath almost at zero distance onto the Tree-man, pushing it away.
Dragon Wings flapped behind, pulling back quickly, the 7th Rank dragon warily focused on the Tree-man.
