Chapter 367: The Iron-Eater Beast
Chapter 367: The Iron-Eater Beast
"Old Tsukimura, I want you dead!" came a hysterical, heart-wrenching roar.
Xing Zhanlong threw something, and in the next instant, epic-level power erupted.
An extreme sword beam slashed out.
At this moment, Tsukimaki Kouraku and Li Wu were both stunned.
Especially Li Wu.
The reason he had orchestrated this was, on the one hand, the concern that if Dokushima Rinjo was healed, Xing Zhanlong would leave, or that if she woke up, he wouldn't be able to convince Xing Zhanlong.
On the other hand, he vaguely sensed that Xing Zhanlong had a hidden ace, but Li Wu never imagined that this ace would come from Lu Haikong and be related to the Moonshadow.
Looking at the terrifying blue light that instantly froze half of the Tsuki Clan's sword beam, whose Moonshadow could it be but his?
Li Wu, in that brief glimpse, also saw the item in Xing Zhanlong's hand.
...
Name: Moonshadow Sword
Grade: Epic
Description: A consumable item that stores three Moonshadow attacks within.
...
Upon seeing these attributes, Li Wu exclaimed in his mind.
"Damn, why does he have this and I don't? Who's really his son here?"
Yes, when he said this, it was clear that he had forgotten that although Li Wu hadn't given him this item, he had sent the entire Moonshadow to him.
At the same time, over on Tsukimaki Kouraku's side.
Having been set up by Li Wu, he was completely dumbfounded.
He had just come to watch the spectacle, and now he was being slashed by a sword?
Furthermore, when he recognized the aura of the sword, his face darkened.
Wasn't this the aura of that guy?
Before he could even process this, a sense of mortal danger enveloped him.
"Flowing Blade of Fire!"
Tsukimaki Kouraku's expression changed, and he immediately drew his divine artifact, striking out with a sword beam.
In an instant, the icy blue sword beam clashed with the crimson blade light.
The terrifying energy explosion created ripples that nearly flipped over the entire Tsuki Clan.
Tsukimaki Kouraku reacted swiftly, opening his domain to withstand this wave of damage; otherwise, the Tsuki Clan would likely lose more than half its members.
Of course, Tsukimaki Kouraku, who took the brunt of this attack, was also in pain, his face alternating between pale and blue.
He had clearly been injured.
Having been hit by such an unexpected attack, Tsukimaki Kouraku was extremely furious.
"Xing Zhanlong, do you want to die?"
At the same time, over on Xing Zhanlong's side.
As the sword slashed out, Xing Zhanlong's mind also cleared, realizing that his previous action had indeed been impulsive.
Tsukimaki Kouraku shouldn't have had any reason to do this at this time.
However, he realized this a bit too late.
"Kill him!"
Li Wu, who had just been 'comatose', assessed the current situation and immediately issued a stern order.
"So, it was you?"
Li Wu spoke up, also drawing Tsukimaki Kouraku's attention to himself.
Tsukimaki Kouraku, who had been holding a grudge against Li Wu, finally exploded.
"Kneel down!"
With an angry shout, Tsukimaki Kouraku slapped towards Li Wu, but Li Wu didn't even flinch, instead raising Dokushima Rinjo's demon sword, Muramasa, and commanded Xing Zhanlong.
"Kill him!
Otherwise, I'll activate it, and the current Dokushima Rinjo can't withstand this torment!"
Xing Zhanlong's expression changed.
"Despicable!"
After a curse, he turned and roared at Tsukimaki Kouraku.
Despite being human, he emitted a bear-like roar, a terrifying sound that made Tsukimaki Kouraku's striking hand tremble.
At the same time, a giant beast burst out from within Xing Zhanlong.
It was at this moment that Li Wu saw Xing Zhanlong's summoned beast for the first time.
It was a giant black and white ball.
As the beast charged out, its plump fleshly palm struck down, shattering Tsukimaki Kouraku's crimson hand.
With a single palm strike, it shattered an epic-level attack, revealing its formidable power.
Upon seeing its attack and attributes, Li Wu's face lit up with joy.
...

Strength: 3-Star (Archmage)
Grade: Epic
Attribute: Metal
Status: Excited (Is it mealtime? Is it mealtime again?)
Weakness: Fire (Minor)

Domain: Iron-Eater Domain (???)
Description: Although it's a cute, round-shaped summoned beast that loves to act spoiled, don't provoke it, as it can twist your head with a single displeased move.
...
Undoubtedly.
This was an ultimate tank.
Not only was it sturdy, but its attacks were also terrifying. Despite being of Archmage strength, even epic-level beings would find it challenging to breach its defenses.
With this beast, coupled with Xing Zhanlong)'s Moonshadow Sword, Li Wu felt that he still had a good chance of killing Tsukimaki Kouraku.
On Tsukimaki Kouraku's side, upon seeing this ten-meter-tall giant ball appear, his face turned extremely ugly.
His words also softened: "Zhanlong, don't be influenced by him, he..."
"Muramasa, blast him!"
Tsukimaki Kouraku didn't finish his sentence before Li Wu shouted.
"No!"
Xing Zhanlong was an easy target, and Dokushima Rin was his leverage.
But he wasn't a fool; he didn't want to be used as a pawn by Lu Wu. He tried to negotiate.
"Mr. Zhengda, I'm no match for Mr. Tsukimura. Your request is almost impossible for me. How about this—do you have any other demands? I'll discuss it with Mr. Tsukimura and try to meet your needs."
"I believe Mr. Tsukimura will be willing to do me this small favor, right, Mr. Tsukimura?"
In the 16th volume, the 9th book, the 1st chapter, the unedited version!
Tsukimaki Kouraku's face turned ashen, but he could only nod in agreement.
Lu Wu, on the other hand, looked at Xing Zhanlong and then at Tsukimaki Kouraku. He seemed to think that Xing Zhanlong wouldn't be able to kill him.
So, after a moment of hesitation, he clenched his teeth.
"Mr. Xing, I don't want this either.
But I really have no choice.
He captured my Miss Akari and threatened me with her life to force me to be his tool.
I had no other option but to resort to this. I'm sorry for causing you such trouble.
Ask him to return Miss Akari and my belongings, and we'll leave. I promise not to harm Miss Dokushima."
"By the way, Old Tsukimura, don't try to use the energy you left in my body against me, or I'll fight you to the end.
If I can't rescue Miss Akari, I'd rather die with Miss Dokushima."
"Hmm."
With these words, Lu Wu's image as a crazy man in love was complete.
Xing Zhanlong's anger and murderous intent towards Lu Wu diminished significantly.
After all, they were both honest men. When he turned to look at Tsukimaki Kouraku, his gaze turned cold.
They were all honest people, and naturally, they felt a sense of camaraderie against someone who disrupted their peace.
"Impossible!"
Tsukimaki Kouraku refused outright.
He would never let go of this tool, Lu Wu.
But Lu Wu's words had also reminded him of something. Yes, he still had energy inside Lu Wu's body. Why waste time talking?
"Kneel!"
Tsukimaki Kouraku glared at Lu Wu, and with a cold snort, the Tsukimura energy within Lu Wu's body instantly went haywire.
It was about to lock onto Lu Wu.
Lu Wu's eyes turned red, and his face contorted as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The demon sword Muramasa in his hand flashed with light, and its power surged. Dokushima Rin's face turned pale.
Fortunately, Lu Wu struggled and unleashed the power of the Celestial Cloud Sword to suppress Muramasa.
This sudden turn of events further agitated Xing Zhanlong.
Now he understood—betting Dokushima Rin's life was a mistake; Old Tsukimura must die!
"Get out of here!"
Sensing Xing Zhanlong's fury, the round, chubby, black-and-white ball of fur charged forward and slapped Tsukimaki Kouraku.
Tsukimaki Kouraku was surprised that he hadn't captured Lu Wu, but there was no time to deal with that now.
Having failed to subdue Lu Wu with energy, he had to suppress Xing Zhanlong first.
Facing the black-and-white ball's attack, Tsukimaki Kouraku didn't resist and was struck by the ball, turning into a burst of fire.
But in the instant the fire dispersed, he re-condensed behind the black-and-white ball.
With a wave of his Flowing Blade of Fire, a red streak slashed across the black-and-white ball's neck.
The next moment, a captivating spray of blood bloomed.
With this successful strike, Tsukimaki Kouraku's mouth curved up in a proud smile.
"Below the Epic Rank, all are ants!"
"Pfft!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-and-white ball instantly turned around, and its terrifying aura locked onto Tsukimaki Kouraku. With a powerful slap, it struck Tsukimaki Kouraku again, turning him into a burst of fire.
At the same time, the wound on its neck stopped bleeding, and the injury healed within a short time.
This sight caused Tsukimaki Kouraku, who had re-condensed into a human form, to frown.
Clearly, he had just realized the formidable defense of the black-and-white ball.
His previous slash had barely grazed the ball, leaving only a couple of centimeters of injury.
At the same time, Lu Wu noticed another attribute in Tsukimaki Kouraku's domain.
"Within his domain, he seems to be able to negate damage by transforming into flames. It's not a complete negation, but it can offset most damage. This makes it difficult for Mr. Xing to defeat Tsukimaki Kouraku!"
As expected, Xing Zhanlong's side soon found themselves in a tough battle.
Tsukimaki Kouraku's domain ability was hard to counter, and the black-and-white ball's slaps didn't cause him any harm.
Xing Zhanlong's Moon Shadow Sword could injure him, but Xing Zhanlong couldn't find an opening, so the black-and-white ball kept getting pummeled.
In less than a few minutes, the black-and-white ball had sustained several injuries.
Three minutes later, Tsukimaki Kouraku appeared in front of the black-and-white ball and praised, "To withstand my King Rank strength for so long, you're quite impressive. But this is as far as you go!"
As he spoke, a divine artifact glowed in Tsukimaki Kouraku's hand.
"Fire God Strike!"
With a dignified shout, the entire Tsukimura Clan was enveloped in a red glow.
Xing Zhanlong was startled and quickly ordered the ball to defend with all its might.
He knew that the Fire God Strike was Tsukimaki Kouraku's signature move, a terrifying technique that even Epic Rank beings struggled to counter.
However, just as the ball assumed a defensive posture, the promised Fire God Strike didn't materialize.
Instead, Lu Wu heard Tsukimaki Kouraku's deep voice, filled with endless anger, in his ear: "I've got you!"
