Chapter 105
Xiaogang flew at a quick speed, and all he could think about was, 'Dong'er, no one can harm you!'
He followed the trail shown by the purple tattoo on his right hand, yet Xiaogang was surprised as Rakshasa God's Avatar traveled so quickly.
"Fortunately, I caught Rakshasa's source in time; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for me to find his trail," Xiaogang muttered.
...
After a while, Xiaogang stopped above a small forest, hundreds of miles away from the Spirit City. 'The trail disappeared,' he thought, and a confused look appeared on his face.
'It suddenly disappeared in this area; it should not be possible, unless...It's a trap,' Xiaogang's face became solemn. He did not think that Rakshasa would calculate so thoroughly.
To save Bibi Dong, Xiaogang rushed and failed to notice that there was a problem with Rakshasa's source power.
Even though Xiaogang could easily refine it, still, he would have faced some resistance from it.
Yet, he did not face any resistance; unless Rakshasa God himself wanted him to refine it.
...
As Xiaogang flew up and intended to leave this area, a translucent purple barrier appeared and trapped him. The barrier sealed the space itself and cut off his connection with the Douluo Continent.
A purple-robed figure stood nearby, and after seeing that his plan succeeded, he smiled, "At least this will buy me some time," and disappeared.
...
Xiaogang's face became gloomy, and unconcealed killing intent appeared in his eyes. The next instant, he sensed Rakshasa's aura and said, "Come out." His cold voice resounded in the barrier.
"Haha!" The next moment, Xiaogang heard a chuckle, and he looked towards the source of this sound. A purple-robed figure appeared in his vision.
Xiaogang immediately noticed that this was another one of his avatars. With no delay, his spirit-power boiled, and a terrifying aura radiated from Xiaogang's body.
As he was about to attack, Xiaogang heard Rakshasa's voice, "Don't you want to know why am I so obsessed with Bibi Dong?"
Hearing his words, Xiaogang stopped his movements and asked, "Why?" This question bugged him, and even now, he was not aware of the latter's true intentions.
From a certain sense, Rakshasa got a better successor, Qian Xunji, yet instead of rescuing Qian Xunji, he went out of his way and kidnapped Bibi Dong.
...
Rakshasa greedily smiled, "You don't understand. Bibi Dong is a natural Rakshasa. I mean, after stripping off her martial spirit and devour them. I will advance from a First-Class God to God-King."
After hearing his words, a shock appeared on Xiaogang's face. Stripping off a spirit-master's martial spirit meant cutting off a part of their soul.
Even in the best-case scenario, the spirit-master's would turn stupid and in the worst case, direct death.
Suddenly, a sense of unease arose in his mind, and Xiaogang thought, 'I can not waste any more time in this place.'
A monstrous killing intent burst from Xiaogang's body. It condensed, and a red mist covered the entire area inside the barrier.
...
Rakshasa God's Avatar's task was to delay Xiaogang and kill him if possible. He felt quite smug after successfully trapping him inside this barrier.
Suddenly, the Avatar noticed the red mist and frowned. He felt a fatal threat from it.
Before he could consider anything else, Rakshasa God's Avatar heard a cold voice, "Condense," and the look on his face changed. He saw the red mist started flowing towards Xiaogang's left hand.
Suddenly, he thought of someone, and a terrifying idea appeared in his mind, and Rakshasa God's Avatar roared, "Who are you? How can you use this power?"
In Rakshasa's memory, only Asura could use this power, and he had already corrupted all known successors of Asura.
After seeing Xiaogang condensing red mist, Rakshasa God connected him with Asura and panicked.
...
Xiaogang did not answer Rakshasa God's questions; instead, his focus was on the red mist. Soon, the red-mist condensed, formed a cocoon around Xiaogang.
'Crack, Crack!' The next second, cracks appeared all over the cocoon, and it burst open.
'Step, Step!' Xiaogang slowly walked out; both his essence and appearance had changed. Mysterious blood-red runes covered his body, and his pupils also changed from black to bright red.
Furthermore, a blood-red translucent spear condensed from the red mist appeared in his hand.
'There is no mistake,' Rakshasa God's Avatar thought, and his body started trembling.
...
"Thank you for setting up such a powerful barrier; otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to use this form," Xiaogang spoke in a cold voice. He ignored the latter's trembling body and continued to increase the pressure.
Soon, Rakshasa God's Avatar found that his body stood stuck at the same place and refused to move. He gritted his teeth, and purple-colored energy rolled out of his body.
"Move!" He roared. Finally, he took a few steps.
Yet, before he could get happy, Rakshasa heard Xiaogang's voice, "Not bad, you can still move." His tone was full of mockery.
Rakshasa's face turned ugly after hearing his words.
...
'Slaughter Path: Ghost Kill!' Xiaogang gently waved the spear in his hand.
At the next moment, a red-colored spear-light filled with slaughtering intent rushed forward.
'Rakshasa Armor!' A purple-colored armor appeared over the Avatar's body.
'Argh!' Yet, it could not defend against the spear light, and Xiaogang's attack cleaved him in two. The Avatar died with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
...
'Pu!' Xiaogang coughed blood, and the red runes on his body vanished. His face became deathly pale.
It resulted from forcefully using a portion of his previous life's strength. It was only after Rakshasa God placed a barrier that he barely managed to use it.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible; after all, there is already a slaughter divinity present in Douluo Continent.
The only possible way of ever using this power again in the future would be to replace Asura as the slaughter divinity.
Either succeed him as the next Asura God or kill him and condense a new Divinity of Slaughter.
It was not something Xiaogang had to worry about at present.
...
'My hunch was right,' Xiaogang thought. He was not sure that the barrier would disappear after killing the Avatar.
Yet, his hunch was right, and the barrier disappeared.
