Multi-Gene

The second elder advanced towards David with incredible speed that was even greater than before.

In the blink of an eye, another fierce fighting erupted once again within the jungle.

Booms rang out through out constantly through out the entire forest. David's leg was already broken while his other leg was incredibly hurt.

He could barely stand straight and was forced to retreat, time without number, suffering setbacks after setbacks.

He could feel the sensation of imminent danger looming over his head. This middle-aged man was by far thr strongest opponent David had fought against.

David's eyes were increasingly bloodshot and one was unable to determine if it was from his gene or from the constant fighting and exhaustion.

Red light shone was more as David pointed his finger forwards, releasing a blood arrow from its tip.

Like a bolt of red lightning, the red arrow shot towards the second elder's throat.

The second elder's eyes shone and realised he had seen this move before and had long since prepared to face it.

His hands sped up with blinding speed and caught David's hands in his grasp, ignoring the red arrow as it pieced into his body but his fur released a red glow as he drew power from the beast silhouette, strengthening his fur only allowing the blood arrow to piece a few centimetres into his chest.

Grasping David's right hand, he casually gave out a squeeze, crushing the bones hard.

Crackling sound emerged as the bones in David's hand were completely shattered.

The second elder frowned. He wasn't expecting things to be so simple. But then his heart trembled as he remembered the reckless nature David seem to battle. Allowing himself to be injured in order to release a ferocious attack.

The second elder instantly retreated backwards, trying to move away.

At the same time, David pointed his left hands and a red light shone, shooting towards the second elder's neck but because he had moved out of the way quickly, his shoulder was pierced through by the red arrow as a hole appeared on his right shoulder, spilling out blood.

The second elder's expression turned ashen and sweat poured down from his face. His entire body shivered had the bones in his shoulder was crushed.

The intense pain instantly sent him bellowing out in rage. The muscles and veins in his body released a crackling sound as he muscles contorted.

Unleashing massive power, grabbing towards David's left hand and although David was attempting to pull backwards, the second elder was too fast and his hand latched onto David's finger.

"Die!" The second elder howled with ferocity. Eyes completely bloodshot, his palm formed two sword finger that pierced through the air with sparks emerging from friction, reaching out to tap towards David's forehead.

David's eyes glinted with a vicious grin and he leaned to the side, allowing his hands that was gripped tightly by the second elder to snap. In that moment, he lifted his right leg up through the air and slammed it into the second elder's chest.

Blood spilled our of the second elder's mouth as he was sent tumbling backwards and had no choice than to release David. By this time, the power behind the phantom image had been completely used up, fading into thing air.

This allowed David the opportunity to retreat backwards at high speed and a space of roughly 40 meters was placed between them.

Both of David's legs constantly shook. The left one was distorted into another angle while the right one was covered in blood. He could barely feel the sensation of pain in his body. The kick he had just unleashed came with a price.

Also, his right arm were completely useless. His right arm mangled and although his left arm was still useful, his fingers had snapped into unimaginable angles.

He could barely stand up and was in fact leaning onto on of the giant trees, gritting his teeth tightly so as to prevent himself from falling into unconsciousness.

He was currently at his very limit now, the only thing he could move was his left arm. Everything else was just numb. But yet, he absolutely refused to give up. Be didn't want to die just yet.

As for the second elder, his eyes were completely bloodshot, glowing red from anger. His shoulder and chest felt like they were on fire. He couldn't feel his left shoulder and his left arm refused to respond.

He could feel the blood arrow melting in his body, constantly eating away at his flesh, muscles and blood but was able to slow it down with his genetic force.

Several of his ribs were also broken and blood constantly oozed out from his mouth.

"Even with me being very cautious, I still underestimated you in the end." The second elder voice was hoarse as he glared viciously at David.

He could never have imagined that with the level of strength he possess , he was still unable to eliminate David even after all the fights.

From the looks of it, David's body tempering practices also contained had some secret ability that kept him alive despite all the injuries he had accumulated.

In fact, to deal with him, the second elder had used almost all the technique at his disposal to deal with David and even the forbidden art which sucked out his potential to reach the phantom beast master with every use.

Breathing in deeply, the second elder muttered. "It's time to end this."

Suddenly, the second elder seem to age by several decades and the skin in his body shrivelled up and majority of his hair turned white.

Massive amount of mist evaporated from his skin and rose up into the air. The second elder heaved heavily as his breathing turned wheezing.

This battle had been a difficult one for the second elder, his opponent unyielding desire to stay alive and his tenacious self healing ability was completely shocking and he had no other choice but to use his one and only main trump card.

"Forbidden art: Phantom Beast Staff...Attack!"

"Ruuuuuuuuumble!!!"
