Although the King of Slaughter couldn't harm Amon, who was hiding within his soul power shield, Amon couldn't harm him either.
The two were locked in a stalemate for a time.
Amon clicked his tongue in annoyance, and dispelled the light barrier. The King of Slaughter's strength was far weaker than he had imagined.
Initially, he had estimated his strength to be that of a Super Douluo, or even close to a Limit Douluo, but he hadn't expected this guy to be only this strong.
Only the Slaughter Domain was worth mentioning. Aside from that, he was only around level ninety-three or ninety-four.
Amon thought to himself: It was my mistake… I overlooked the 'Blood-Colored Swan Kiss' and its effect on his strength.
Although the 'stimulation' effect caused the King of Slaughter to fall into the pain of constantly craving fresh blood, it also stimulated the potential of his body, which belonged to a Limit Douluo, constantly making him stronger.
Now, it's much earlier than when Tang San met the King of Slaughter after returning from Seagod Island in the original timeline… He has had several fewer years to stimulate his potential, so it's not surprising that he's so weak.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo probably couldn't beat him, but if Walter came prepared, he could probably play him to death.
If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with any traps. I would have just brought Lei Yin over and killed him… But that's not right, I still need a courier… preferably one who kills the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and leaves Tang Chen alive…
Of course, I have to be sure that Tang Chen is beyond medical help and doesn't have long to live, otherwise, the influence of a Limit Douluo would be quite significant, especially since he might ascend to godhood.
"Well, thinking about it this way, the current plan is indeed better… My many preparations have not been in vain," Amon muttered.
The King of Slaughter's eyes flashed fiercely. Taking advantage of Amon's withdrawal of the light barrier, he suddenly darted out, his long, blood-red nails tearing open Amon's chest with an aura of death and coldness.
A slightly bewildered look appeared on his face. He hadn't expected to succeed so easily. But he didn't think much of it, only assuming that he had seized the opportunity well, catching the other party off guard.
The 'Blood-Colored Swan Kiss' continued to take effect, making him constantly crave fresh blood. At this point, he had gradually become crazy and less rational.
The desire for blood made him open his mouth and bite Amon's neck. The blood that had not yet dissipated flowed down his throat into his body, and a satisfied expression appeared on the King of Slaughter's face.
The red light in his eyes gradually faded, and the King of Slaughter became a little more rational… He suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be deliberately offering himself up to die.
But why would he seek death? A trap? He didn't detect anyone else around… After sucking up the blood, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of doubt in his eyes.
On a treetop, a crow with white eye circles watched this scene speechlessly. His plan had not come into play. The King of Slaughter had already taken the initiative to do all the preparatory work he had wanted to do.
Amon deliberately revealed his soul bone skill in order to attract the King of Slaughter's attention. Although the body of Tang Chen that he was parasitizing most likely had a full set of soul bones, as long as he wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't give up a free, high-quality soul bone.
When the King of Slaughter took out the bone from the body that Amon had buried in advance, and relaxed his vigilance, the Worm of Time hidden in the soul bone would parasitize him.
Even if such a rough parasitism was immediately noticed by the other party and countered, Amon only needed that one moment of parasitism. In that one moment, the fates of the two were linked together. That one moment of connection was enough for Amon to complete the subsequent operation… This was Amon's original plan.
But the King of Slaughter actually sucked his blood, which was equivalent to swallowing a portion of the Worm of Time that had not completely dissipated, actively establishing a connection with Amon!
Although the King of Slaughter's operation surprised Amon, he would not miss the opportunity.
In an unknown small village, Amon's main body, sitting on the roof of an abandoned hut, pushed up his crystal monocle. The Worms of Time in his body simultaneously revealed "smiles," spitting out polluted words.
Amon immediately borrowed the temporary connection established with the King of Slaughter, and through the reverse application of "stealing," he packaged and "gifted" the words emitted by one Worm of Time after another in his body to the King of Slaughter.
These words intertwined, mixed with the chaotic characteristics from the strange world carried deep within his martial soul, forming terrifying and insane whispers:
"Tang Chen, how long are you going to be trapped by this little bat?
"Do you want to become an ugly monster who drinks blood all day long?
"Bo Saixi will be disappointed to see you like this.
"Back then, she said she would marry the one who became a god first, but in reality, she chose you…
"Qian Daoliu wasn't cowardly and afraid to risk his life to break through to the realm of the gods, but because he was the high priest of the Angel God and could not absorb faith.
"As the high priest of the Sea God, Bo Saixi was also aware of this. The condition she proposed was actually a rejection of Qian Daoliu.
"While you were being controlled by this little bat and sinking into Slaughter City, your grandson Tang Hao found a hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast as his wife.
"Qian Daoliu's son, Qian Xunji, led the Spirit Hall's soul masters to hunt down that soul beast in order to hunt it.
"In the end, the soul beast sacrificed herself and died, Tang Hao suffered irreversible injuries, and voluntarily withdrew from the Clear Sky Sect.
"The Clear Sky Sect also sealed itself off, fearing Qian Daoliu, and lived year-round on the mountain where Qian Daoliu once lost to you by half a move.
"Now, your great-grandson has also chosen a hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast as his wife, and Qian Xunji's disciple is hunting them down.
"History is repeating itself. Maybe one day, your great-grandson will also lose his beloved.
"So, join forces with me, open your mind, let my martial soul enter your body, don't hurt them, and don't let the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King hurt them.
"I can provide you with soul-level assistance, allowing you to gain the upper hand in the battle of wills with the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
"Let's join forces to kill it. I'll get the soul ring, and you'll regain your freedom…"
At that moment, Amon's whispers echoed in the King of Slaughter's mind, like sharp blades piercing his spirit and tearing his mind.
The King of Slaughter's personality was originally a temporary personality born from the tug-of-war between the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and Tang Chen's spirit. After being affected by the whispers, he instantly stopped moving.
Amon temporarily restrained the two wills in this body with insane whispers, and filled them with real information that could stimulate Tang Chen's spirit.
This information was not special to the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King. Only the fact that joining forces with Tang Chen to deal with it would make it slightly wary, but this information had a huge impact on Tang Chen.
To the point that he temporarily regained his self lost in evil thoughts, suppressing the will of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
Taking advantage of the extremely brief moment of clarity, he uttered a word: "Join forces."
He didn't ask who Amon was, where he was, or how he knew these things, because there was no time. Tang Chen could only express his attitude in the simplest language.
Amon revealed a smile. In an instant, countless brilliant starlight lit up. One after another, small, semi-transparent insects with twelve segments and star-like colors left animals such as earthworms, grasshoppers, butterflies, and sparrows, turning into streams of light and drilling into Tang Chen's body.
The current Worms of Time do not have the ability to forcibly parasitize others, because in the Worm of Time form, they are very fragile.
A little soul power fluctuation carrying malice from the original owner of the body can kill them. Therefore, Amon can only parasitize when the original owner agrees and is willing to cooperate.
Although they have no resistance to physical or soul power damage, they have the power of the soul level.
Protected by Tang Chen's will and spared from physical and soul power damage, the Worms of Time launched an attack on the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's soul as soon as they entered the body, assisting Tang Chen's will to stabilize his control over the body.
In a dim, blood-colored space, a huge bat with wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, with nine heads, strange magic patterns on its body, and shrouded in a cloud of misty blood, let out a sharp roar.
Opposite the bat, Tang Chen, whose figure appeared small, held a dark black hammer with white bat patterns and dark gold patterns.
Behind him, a huge hammer phantom floated, almost as large as the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's huge body.
The huge bat flapped its wings, and tornadoes composed of scarlet blood mist constantly attacked forward.
Tang Chen waved the hammer in his hand, scattering the blood-colored tornadoes one after another. His movements of waving the hammer were like flowing clouds and flowing water, dense and continuous, forming a barrier composed of hammer wind around him.
However, the blood mist, like winding dragons and snakes, seemed to be endless, constantly rising from the blood sea below, impacting the barrier one after another.
Tang Chen's defense was not easy. His spirit had been trapped in this world for who knows how long. His body had been stained with too much blood, and the hammer body was already stained with blood. If this trend continued, one day, he would be devoured by the other party.
A bright starlight broke through the blood-colored dark sky, and then, countless starlight poured in. The brilliant light illuminated this dim and ominous blood-colored space.
The thousands of star-glowing worms shattered the blood-colored tornadoes, and then turned into a torrent, impacting the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
They sometimes gathered, sometimes dispersed, and finally, like blood-sucking leeches, clung tightly to the huge bat.
From a distance, it seemed as if countless tiny eyes had grown on the huge bat wings.
The Worms of Time did not stop after attaching, constantly gnawing at the bat, punching small holes and drilling into its body.
The Nine-Headed Blood Red Bat King let out a piercing cry. As it cried, one after another star-colored worms burst open.
As a super soul beast capable of parasitizing a Limit Douluo and once suppressing his spirit, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King finally showed its terrifying power.
Spiritual storms swept through the blood-colored space, and red mist turned into a hurricane, like a sharp knife.
One after another, the worms attached to the wings were cut into pieces.
"I'm leaving if you don't make a move," Amon sent a message to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen originally wanted to save his strength as much as possible, because Amon, this strange guy, didn't look like a good thing. Who knew if he would continue to occupy his body after defeating the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
But hearing this, Tang Chen had no choice but to go all out. Because he had no choice. This was the only opportunity he had encountered after being trapped for so long!
