Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

186 The Almighty Woman in White

“Kill him for me!” Du Feng bellowed after his wounds had healed.

The moment the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast received his instructions, a barrage of tentacles turned into lethal weapons sharper than sabers and swords and shot out. Uncle Fu swung his sword and a series of sword lights kept clashing with the tentacles.

Uncle Fu’s figure moved rapidly. The weapon in his hand had been replaced by a long sword. The sword slashed out continuously with fierce and swift sword light. The waves of sword power that had accumulated up till now gathered momentum, and finally condensed into a blinding flash of blazing sword light.

“Terror Tide Slash!”

!!

The blazing sword light sliced straight through that humongous body of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast, with the blinding light covering it instantly.

However, the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast roared and its body’s aura suddenly rose. Those countless tentacles now wrapped themselves together, becoming a giant pillar before bursting out to extinguish the sword light instantly. Uncle Fu was sent flying by the impact directly and he crashed through a massive boulder.

“The strength of this Fearsome Beast has become more powerful!” Uncle Fu was astonished.

Just as a tentacle shot towards him, his figure suddenly flashed to dodge it. Once again, the aura of the Great Grand Master raged and gathered momentum. The long sword in his hand radiated with snow white brilliance. “Break Armor!”

This skill, which was capable of serious damage, possessed the ability to break through defenses and inflict double damage. In an instant, the sword light penetrated the abdomen of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast, and a spray of blood spewed out from the wound.

Uncle Fu reappeared behind the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast. With a swing of his sword, he hacked down viciously, cutting off a tentacle. Once again the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast roared in pain.

At this point, the other captains of the First Military Unit had arrived. The sight that greeted them made them speechless and their eyes almost popped out.

“Who is this old man? He is able to injure this SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast?”

A platoon leader helped Ouyang Wen up. After learning the details of the situation from Ouyang Wen, his face was filled with shock.

Uncle Fu kept unleashing his power and wounding the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast seriously. When he saw more and more people from the Gamma Military Zone arriving, he spoke up, “I am the retainer of the Superintendent from the capital, who is in charge of overseeing the military zones.”

“You guys have come just in time. This Fearsome Beast has been seriously wounded by me. You guys block all the escape routes so that it does not escape.”

With that, he turned his head and continued to engage the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast in a fierce battle.

The look of shock on Ouyang Wen’s face became more extreme. To think that a Superintendent’s retainer was a Great Grand Master. It seemed that this time, the capital was very careful about overseeing the Gamma Military Zone’s operations.

The Inspector had the authority to try the big cases that involved a city. However, Lu Yu was not only a member of a military zone, but he was also the Advisor, so the Inspector had no authority to interrogate him. However, the Superintendent was different. Although his role was similar to envoys of the federal government and the official rank was also similar to the Inspector, he had special exclusive authority over the affairs of military zones.

“Senior, please be careful!” Ouyang Wen yelled out.

Suddenly, as its wounds continuously healed under the relentless suppression, a mighty force several times more powerful surged out of the body of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast. With one strike, it flung Uncle Fu off.

And then, with a vicious stomp of its mighty foot, Uncle Fu’s whole body sank into the ground more than ten meters deep. Ouyang Wen and the others who saw this, could not help but gasp in astonishment. Why was this SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast getting stronger and stronger?

“It seems that this Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast had the ability to heal its wounds while making itself stronger at the same time.” Uncle Fu finally realized that the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast was truly terrifying.

“Hahaha… Old guy, why don’t you continue?” Du Feng revealed a smug sneer. He commanded the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast to sweep up its tentacles and whip Uncle Fu’s body relentlessly. He just wanted to torture this old guy severely before killing him.

Seeing that the battle situation had been turned around, Ouyang Wen and the others’ faces changed drastically. They immediately drew out their weapons from their interspatial rings.

This was the retainer of the Superintendent. If his retainer were to die here, then that Superintendent, who had yet to show his face, might become resentful and exploit this incident to make things difficult for the Gamma Military Zone. This would lead to no end of trouble. Thus, they yelled, “Du Feng, surrender yourself! You have no way back. You can only surrender and beg for a lenient sentence!”

“Hoho! What do you mere mortals know? Get lost!” Du Feng bellowed. One of the tentacles of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast swept across, sweeping Ouyang Wen and the others away instantly.

Boom! An overpowering aura suddenly surged all over the whole blood-sucking wasteland. The poisonous gas was swept away by a burst of dazzling light just like moonlight, and the air was getting purified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Du Feng, who was about to kill Uncle Fu, sensed the aura and his body shuddered violently. The humongous body of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast kept shaking under the impact of this aura, and its tentacles fell down limply as it sensed the dangerous aura.

A beautiful… in fact, a ridiculously beautiful woman dressed in all white, walked over step by step. She looked like she had descended from the moon palace, a creature so pure and immaculate.

In a flash, she arrived at the front. With a wave of her fair hand, the tentacles wrapped around the body of Uncle Fu broke off and dissolved in a plume of white smoke. The Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast roared in great pain.

“Miss, forgive me for not being able to share your burden. In the end, you still have to rescue me.” Uncle Fu had a shameful look on his face.

“No matter, Uncle Fu. You can step down!” The woman in white simply waved her hand. Looking at Du Feng, her beautiful eyes turned icy cold and she said, “How interesting. To think that the Gamma Military Zone has a traitor like you. I have to admit, you are exceptionally gifted in this aspect of controlling Fearsome Beasts.”

“However, this is ultimately an unorthodox and evil way. In the end, you will end up suffering the consequences of your own actions.”

Du Feng’s face turned sinister at the sight of the high and mighty posture of the woman in white. “Each and every one of you say that I am a crooked and evil person. What the heck do you know? Hoho! A cultivator as strong as you must have really delicious blood.”

Du Feng manipulated the Thousand-Handed Demonic Beast to shoot out a barrage of pitch-black tentacles from that humongous body. Those tentacles went stabbing viciously at the woman in white.

The speed was so fast and the force so strong that a sonic boom erupted and they arrived in a flash!

The woman in white waved her fair hand. As her white clothes fluttered, a burst of dazzling light like moonlight radiated outwards. In that instant, the air flow, the sand and gravel, and even the poisonous gas all froze on the spot.

This was the basic ability of manipulating domains that was characteristic of a War General. However, a more frightening scene appeared next. The Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast suddenly let out an anguished scream. Thousands of tentacles exploded one after another. The moment it tried to regenerate, plumes of green smoke billowed out and dissolved the wound openings.

Even the body of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast was emitting plumes of green smoke. The humongous behemoth then collapsed with a crash, shaking the earth.

Having lost his support, Du Feng became somewhat dumbfounded. He was clearly aware of the might of a War General, and he was also well aware of the might of an SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast. What he was even more certain of was that this beast was not inferior to a War General!

Yet, with just one exchange of blows, the beast was seriously injured straightaway and it couldn’t even regenerate or heal its broken limbs.

Looking at this otherworldly woman in white, Du Feng’s eyes were full of shock. “Your power restrained the ability of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast. You are not an ordinary War General. Who the hell are you?”
