Corrupt Creations-Chapter 79 - Fight Of The Young Masters

Qiao Bao smiled and said: "Give up. There is no way you will be able to destroy my armor with that dark element of yours."

'Tch. What an arrogant fellow. Pride really does make someone an ignorant fool.' Seth heard his bullshit talking without changing his expression, but inwardly he already considered this Lion Knight, as a joke.

Qiao Bao started to move, preparing to attack for the first time in this match. His entire body started to shine as his speed increased. A lighting flash shot towards Seth, colliding against his powerful dark element barrier.

"Tch... You were able to defend against my attack, impressive." The lighting flash, was Qiao Bao's body, since his arts would make a golden light appear whenever he channeled his mana into it.

Seth didn't say anything, but his enemy attitude was starting to make him feel a bit of fury, however, he would never let it control him, since he has been paying attention to those kinds of emotions ever since the beast massacre he made.

Seth took some distance from that golden idiot and at the same time, he started to throw small black orbs towards him in a fast succession.

Qiao Bao was about to ignore them and head in a straight line chasing after Seth, but his instincts told him to be careful, so he avoided the orbs with a combination of sidesteps. When he looked back, he saw those orbs colliding against the floor, engulfing it on a small-scale dark storm. The energy liberated, was enough to make him feel a chill run down his spine.

The Lion Knight abruptly raised the quantity of Mana around his armor, reinforcing it to the second level of that ability. Together with that, two golden brass knuckles formed around his fingers. He used his best movement technique to charge again towards Seth. While he approached him, he started to taunt: "What is the use of such a powerful skill, if you can't hit me with that slow speed of yours, Eternal Shadow."

He collided once again with Seth's shield of darkness and got impressed that it did not crumble to pieces instantly, even though he had stricken it with his brass knuckles. However, some cracks appeared on its surface, showing that his attack was indeed powerful.

"Tch, that attitude of yours is so annoying, that it made me think that you would at least be a worthy opponent. What a pity." Seth said calmly.

"!!!" Qiao Bao got alarmed, because the voice he was hearing was not from the person standing behind the shield he was trying to destroy, but was coming from a person that was standing behind him. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

He hastily turned back and saw that a specter was already near him, holding a darkness orb twice the size those he saw before. It was already making a motion to attack him. The only thing Qiao Bao could do, was to use his armored arms to defend against the incoming attack.

"What do you think you're doing, turning your back on your enemy like that?" Seth's voice echoed behind him again. This time, it was the one that was hiding behind the shield Qiao Bao was trying to break.

Both Seth and his Darkness Specter were holding orbs made of compressed dark energy, so now that the Lion Knight was defending against Seth Specter of Darkness, he had his unprotected back towards the real one.

Bang! Bang!

Two dark spheres collided with his arms and backside respectively, creating two concentrated areas of dark storm, decimating his armor like it was tearing paper asunder.

"Gahrr!"

Qiao Bao was sent flying like a stringless kite. The armor he took pride in was utterly destroyed, together with his high-as-the-heavens ego. When he fell on the ground, he finally noticed that there were more than twenty people watching his pride getting torn to shreds, even though he had been boasting all this while.

Qiao Xuan furrowed his brows in displeasure, but not because of his son injuries, but because he may be losing his face before the practitioners watching the fight, with that unsightly display of his. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

Seth didn't wait for his opponent to stand up and recover from his stunned state. He rushed forwards while preparing another of his dark strikes, ready to destroy Qiao Bao once and for all.

However, the man slowly stood up and a blinding light enveloped the sight of the people watching the fight. Seth was obliged to stop, because there was a great flux of Mana, gathering near Qiao Bao.

ROAR!

A deafening roar echoed around the entire hall and Qiao Bao's body started to change. His arms and legs started to get bigger and bigger, until they broke through the scraps of the rest of what remained from his golden armor, turning into huge lion limbs with a golden fur.

His transformation kept changing his entire body to that of a three meters tall Golden Lion. That was the ultimate ability of his bloodline. A golden armor appeared around some parts of his limbs, giving him a magnificent beastly appearance. His brass knuckles turned into two golden metallic claws for his paws, giving him even more destructive power.

Seth watched his transformation and smiled. 'Now, that is something befitting of a Higher Ground Young Master.'

His transformation was complete. What was left, was to destroy Seth to pieces and reclaim his dignity as a prideful Golden Lion.

"At least you didn't throw away all the resources they spent on you. Come tiny little cat, give me a good fight now." Seth taunted his opponent, following the recipe he used on the Blackwind Panther.

It seemed to work, because Qiao Bao charged forwards with the intent to rip him to pieces. His huge golden paws tried to smash Seth in a poodle of blood.

Bang!

The ground where Seth was, turned into a deep crater, but he had escaped from that fierce attack.

A golden light concentrated inside Qiao Bao's huge mouth and he roared, creating a shockwave of Mana.

ROAR!!!

The shockwave liberated an immense quantity of Mana, making one the Twelve Shadows release a Mana Control middle-stage cultivation energy to form an invisible shield, avoiding that the destruction would reach the other parts of the hall where people were standing.

Seth didn't even move from his place, since he knew it would be useless to escape such a large area of effect skill. He soundlessly chanted 'Shrouding Light', making a darkness cocoon envelop him and protect his body from any harm.

His cocoon of darkness was dispersed, but the effect of the roar had already passed when he left it. Some parts of the hall were completely destroyed after that attack.

Qiao Bao's beastly body was already approaching him again when he left the cocoon. He was already injecting his golden claws with a good amount of energy, since he would be trying to defeat Seth in a single blow.

But before he could do it, hundreds of spikes of darkness tried to pierce him from below. The quantity was so high, that he could not dodge them all, due to his massive body. When he finally realized he could not escape from them anymore, he used the Mana he gathered before, to jump in the air, lunging himself towards Seth.

"That's what I was expecting." Seth said while smiling.

The spikes that were connected to the ground dethatched themselves from it, flying directly towards the golden lion's belly, since he was jumping above them.

Qiao Bao had no way of evading against so many spikes and could only resort on spending a huge chunk of his Mana to make his armor and body tougher, making all the spikes that tried to pierce him, ineffective. After countering Seth's skill, he once again concentrated his attention on his enemy, however he was not standing on the place he was before any longer.

Bang!

Bao Tao felt a huge impact against his spine and his huge body crashed on the ground amidst some black spikes that were still on the floor. Seth had just kicked him from above, using a good amount of Mana.

This time the Lion Knight got injured, coughing up blood as his body fell inside a sea of dark spikes. His transformation was undone since he took too much damage. He had been pierced on the chest by those spikes that were on the ground, and felt that his energy was being drained faster and faster. He was lucky that when his body shrunk back, the huge blood holes on his chest turned smaller, until they didn't seem that much dangerous anymore.

Bao Tao returned back to normal and looked towards Seth with a blend of emotions. He didn't know if his terror was greater or if it was his fury. Those dark energy contained inside those spikes invaded his body and were blocking the passage of energy. That was why his transformations had been dispelled.

Bao Tao realized that he had thoroughly lost the match since he could not activate his powers anymore, but he could not bring himself to accept it so easily. However, he didn't have time to say or do anything, since the Demon Emperor ended the match for him.

"I guess it has been decided brother Qiao Xuan. Or do you still want the match to keep going?"

Qiao Xuan was looking towards his own son with anger, but he made sure to hide it well. After that, he looked towards Seth with a bit of alarm. He knew how strong his son was, even though he was discontent that he had lost, he knew that his son was not a weakling.. But the demon named Seth, a person that was even younger than his son, was able to trample him like he was a ragdoll.
