Even though he was incredibly strong at that moment, he had just been attacked so fiercely by the peacock, and he had only taken the hits without retaliating. He hadn't even known how to dodge or defend himself; he was completely in a semi-conscious state, letting the peacock's attacks fall on him.
How could he possibly survive in that situation?!
Fortunately, the fireworks had channeled all of Chen Xiao's spiritual power into his consciousness, making his spiritual power unprecedentedly strong! With the body continuing to weaken, the person would naturally fall into a coma. Then, in that coma, the body would quickly die.
But Chen Xiao was different! His body was clearly injured to the extreme, yet he relied on his unprecedentedly strong mental power to maintain his consciousness and did not faint! At this moment, although his body was extremely weak, his mental power was still incredibly clear, and even stronger than before!
Chen Xiao used his mental power to control his telekinesis, making his body fly up quickly, and then hugged the peacock!
Seeing that Chen Xiao was still alive, Peacock was filled with both rage and horror. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she instinctively tried to turn around and attack, but Chen Xiao grabbed her from behind. She was also seriously injured, so how could she break free?
My mind went blank for a moment, and I felt Chen Xiao's breath on my ear from behind.
Then, they heard Chen Xiao's voice behind them, a voice like that of a wild beast, strange, hoarse, and short. It turned out that Chen Xiao had been injured in the throat.
Chen Xiao was covered in wounds, but his eyes shone even brighter. His golden pupils held a sinister light, while his blood-red eyes glowed eerily red.
However, his eyes grew increasingly frantic! There was no longer a trace of reason left in them!
"I...it hurts so much..."
This is the sound that the peacock heard from Chen Xiao.
Then, just as Peacock was about to say something, suddenly, behind her, Chen Xiao opened his mouth, revealing blood-stained teeth, and bit down hard on Peacock's delicate neck!
"Ah!!" Peacock cried out in pain as her neck was bitten, and a wave of horror washed over her. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Chen Xiao held on tightly to Peacock's neck, his teeth piercing her delicate skin. The moment the first trickle of blood flowed into Chen Xiao's mouth, a certain instinct seemed to be ignited within him!
Then he began to suckle desperately...
Blood flowed down his throat and into his abdomen!
Soon, the light on Chen Xiao's body shone brightly again!
Finally, Chen Xiao opened his mouth. But what escaped his lips was a long, strange moan...
Chapter 246 of the main text: [Amazing the Heavens, Shattering the Mountain!]
Chen Xiao stuck out his tongue and licked the bloodstains remaining on his lips and teeth.
Peacock's struggles grew weaker and weaker. She felt Chen Xiao's teeth pierce her neck, blood being drained from her body, and her mind went completely blank for a moment. When Chen Xiao released her, with a strange, long cry, Peacock seemed to suddenly come to her senses. It was the first time in her life she had encountered such a situation—she had experienced countless fierce battles, but being grabbed from behind and bitten on her delicate neck by an enemy was unprecedented. Moreover, even with her formidable strength, she had never been so brazenly held by a man, let alone have his mouth pressed against her neck—this horrifying situation almost made her body go limp.
After a long pause, Peacock snapped out of her daze and struggled a few times. But Chen Xiao's arms were wrapped tightly around her, as if two iron bars were clamping down on her arms.
Chen Xiao's long cry was drawn out and carried an extremely eerie quality, as if it were faintly calling out or cheering for something...
Finally, with Chen Xiao's long cry, his body began to change!
Behind his body, the pair of long black wings suddenly fluttered open again. One wing, whose bones had been broken in half, unfolded again with a few rustling sounds. The broken bones closed up and stretched out, while the other curled-up wing also opened. The many bloody, deep wounds that had exposed bone on the wings healed rapidly, and even the black feathers that had fallen off in many places grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye!
With its wings spread wide, the over two-meter-long black wings fluttered slightly, and soon, a rainbow of light appeared behind Chen Xiao! This strange appearance, resembling a peacock spreading its tail, was exactly like the peacock itself!
Countless wounds, large and small, all over his body began to heal rapidly, as if time had reversed. Flesh and blood surged and grew, quickly closing each wound. Meanwhile, patches of skin began to peel off Chen Xiao's body, fluttering away in the wind. After the peeling, a new layer of skin covered his body, fair and smooth, as delicate as a baby's, with a faint rosy glow! Only the totem-like flame patterns on his body remained as new, though their color had turned a darker red!
After peeling off his skin, not only were there no more marks on his body, but even the bloodstains were completely gone!
His hair disappeared completely as his scalp fell off, and on the new scalp, new hair began to grow wildly like weeds! The length of his hair reached his waist in just a few breaths! The long hair was as smooth as black satin, and the messy hair in front of his forehead hung down, covering his eerie golden and blood-red eyes, except for a strange light that burst out from his eyes and shone through the gaps in the messy hair.
After Chen Xiao shed his skin, he was immediately naked. Peacock, caught in his embrace from behind, noticed Chen Xiao's unusual behavior and his naked state, and was instantly enraged. She was proud of her beauty and would never show any man any affection, let alone be embraced naked by one.
Enraged, she was too severely injured to use her powers and could only struggle desperately. After a few struggles, she suddenly felt Chen Xiao's arms tighten around her! Like two iron clamps closing in!
The peacock struggled to breathe as she was squeezed so tightly. The more she struggled, the tighter Chen Xiao held her! In the end, the peacock could even hear her bones cracking. Being strangled so tightly, she was almost suffocating, and her whole body was in excruciating pain.
On the hillside below, large sections of mud and rocks collapsed, revealing the exposed inner layer of the mountain. Lao Tian and the others had been swept down by the collapsed mountain. This geological collapse halfway up the mountain meant that when Lao Tian and the others finally caught up, they saw the peacock in distress in the sky.
Seeing that Peacock's face, which should have been pale and severely injured, was now constricted and flushed, her breath clearly weak, Old Tian was immediately startled! With a sharp shout, Old Tian pushed off the ground, using the momentum to leap into the air, and brought his knife down towards Chen Xiao in the sky! Chen Xiao was much taller than Peacock, so the knife was aimed at Chen Xiao's head, and there was no need to worry about accidentally injuring Peacock.
Old Tian's slash, delivered mid-air, had already reached Chen Xiao before he even arrived! A cold, mocking smile appeared on Chen Xiao's rock-solid face. He finally released one hand and casually drew a line on his forehead.
With a hiss, a vacuum-splitting blade easily split from the edge of his palm. The blade energy that Lao Tian had slashed at was instantly split in two by the vacuum, then slid past Chen Xiao's sides! The blade energy only grazed Chen Xiao's hair at the edge, cutting off a strand of messy hair!
Chen Xiao looked at Lao Tian, who had already leaped into the air like a big bird, and suddenly grabbed him from mid-air!
call out!
Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky from the mountainside beneath his feet. Chen Xiao's spear, which had been stuck in the mountainside but buried by the landslide, was now revealed with a mere wave of his hand. It burst forth from the ground, transforming into a golden streak that instantly flew into Chen Xiao's hand!
Chen Xiao held the peacock with one hand and gripped the spear with the other. With a swish, the spear pointed at Lao Tian, and he gently shook the tip. The meaning seemed to carry a hint of provocation.
Unable to fly, Lao Tian leaped into the air using his strength. Just as he was about to fall, he desperately inhaled, suspending himself in mid-air. Finally, gripping his sword with both hands, he let out a long, resounding cry, and like a bird spreading its wings, he slashed at Chen Xiao with a single, powerful strike!
Clang...!
The metallic clang and the intense vibrations caused a sharp pain in the ears of the peacock in Chen Xiao's arms! The pain almost made her faint!
The blade struck the spear without producing a single spark, but the resulting collision sound carried far and wide, the air buzzing with the reverberation of the sound waves!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Old Tian gripped his sword with both hands, and the sword clashed with the spear. Both of them seemed to be frozen in place! Finally, after several breaths, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the point where the spear and the sword met!
A huge fireball exploded out, and the shockwave immediately sent Lao Tian flying far away!
Amidst the buzzing, the spear in Chen Xiao's hand, made from the finest cannon barrel, twisted and vibrated like noodles. Meanwhile, the blade of the knife in Lao Tian's hand shattered into pieces, instantly becoming a piece of scrap metal, devoid of any sharpness!
Old Tian was sent flying a great distance by the force of the impact. As soon as he landed, his foot stomped on the ground, instantly shattering a huge rock beneath his foot! Old Tian's face was gloomy. He glanced at the knife in his hand, his brows furrowing. Just as he was about to take another breath, he felt he couldn't catch his breath and staggered.
In the sky, Chen Xiao's spear finally straightened out of its twisted shape. Chen Xiao seemed to frown as he looked at the weapon in his hand. Then, a strange light flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his arm, he straightened the spear. Then, a ball of crimson light, like a flame, was forced out from the palm of his hand holding the spear!
The crimson light instantly enveloped the spear, as if it had been forged in flames! Under that light, the naked eye could see specks of black matter being forcibly removed from the spear. These specks scattered in the air with the wind; they were impurities within the spear's metal, forcibly stripped away by Chen Xiao's immense energy. Afterward, the spear, resembling a spiral pattern, emitted a faint golden luster!
