A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

238: I didn’t use much force!”Take a break first and let me handle this.”

Bai Tian pushed Emil behind him and cracked his neck from side to side.

To be honest, since officially changing classes to the [Dragon Flame War God], Bai Tian hadn’t had a serious fight yet.

It was time to stretch his limbs.

”Die!”

”Overwhelming Power!”

The City Lord leaped into the air like a flood dragon ascending to the heavens. Holding his golden saber with both hands, he unleashed a whistling slash. The saber qi transformed into a flood dragon of overwhelming energy, surging toward Bai Tian to destroy everything in its path.

If such a powerful attack hit him, even with a hundred lives, the City Lord wouldn’t survive the Rebound. He would surely be pulverized until not even dregs remained.

Bai Tian was still counting on using him to warm up, so he naturally didn’t want the battle to end so quickly.

”True Dragon Ascension Steps!”

After burning 2% of his HP, Bai Tian’s entire body was immediately infused with endless power. His speed increased by 400%, and his figure became so fast it was like teleportation, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

(#‵′) Damn!

The Vajra Demon Ape and the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion, who had been slumping lazily, cursed and scrambled to get away, fleeing the area in fright.

But before fleeing, they didn’t forget to take Emil with them to avoid the City Lord’s Flood Dragon Saber Qi.

—Boom!

Like a volcanic eruption, the Flood Dragon Saber Qi instantly devastated the surrounding thousand-meter area, destroying it completely.

Seeing his move miss, the enraged City Lord raised his golden saber, preparing to unleash a second technique.

But as soon as the golden saber moved, a sonic boom approached from behind.

To be the lord of one of the eighteen cities under Yunmeng Prefecture, his strength was naturally extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to hunt down the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape alone.

”Die!”

Sensing the threat, the City Lord pivoted his saber, slashing backward like a storm and creating a thunderous sound.

However, after the slash, his pupils instinctively constricted as he realized he had hit nothing but air.

Relying on his combat instincts, the City Lord decisively activated his defensive measures. A visible layer of protective runic light surfaced on his skin.

”Your saber is too slow!”

As Bai Tian’s ghostly voice echoed in the City Lord’s ear.

Before the City Lord could react, with a ”thud,” a seemingly ordinary fist struck his abdomen, right at the dantian.

The powerful defensive runic patterns on the City Lord’s body instantly shattered.

The fist met no resistance and landed perfectly!

—”Pfft!”

A fountain of bright red blood sprayed upward.

The City Lord’s pupils shrank, and his whole body stiffened. With a ”waa” sound, he coughed up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Then, amidst a whistling gale, he lost control and shot out over a thousand meters like a falling meteor, crashing heavily into the ground with a ”bang.”

In mid-air, Bai Tian stared blankly at his fist and murmured.

”That much power?”

”But I only used forty percent of my strength?”

Clearly, even Bai Tian hadn’t expected himself to be this powerful now.

With just a casual punch, he could completely overwhelm a being comparable to a Level 90 Monarch.

From the deep, dark, man-shaped crater below, there was no sound at all. It was unclear if the City Lord was dead or alive.

Just as Bai Tian was about to go down and drag out the City Lord, whose fate was unknown.

With a ”shoo,” a streak of runic light shot up from the crater and exploded, forming a massive green cloud-patterned mark that hovered in the sky like a firework.

It was clearly a distress signal!

The City Lord was signaling for backup.

”Sir... You are a dignified King-level figure, yet you despicably allowed beasts to steal my family’s century-old medicinal field.”

”And... and you’re still toying with me here...”

”Do you really think a City Lord under Yunmeng Prefecture is just some random nobody?!”

The City Lord wasn’t dead yet, but his voice was heavy and labored, speaking in gasps. His tone was a mix of shock, anger, and resolve.

Bai Tian wasn’t worried at all about the City Lord calling for help; knowing he wasn’t dead actually made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Bai Tian didn’t waste words and activated the Dragon Capturing Hand again.

In an instant, he sucked the heavily injured City Lord out of the ground and into his grasp.

But this fellow was a tough one. Even after being caught by Bai Tian, he tried a desperate counterattack, spitting out over a dozen dark-glowing hidden weapons from his mouth, aiming straight for Bai Tian’s vitals.

Bai Tian’s reactions were incredibly fast; there was no way he would be hit, and he dodged them easily.

However, there was a small slip-up—a single strand of hair was hit and severed by one of the dark needles.

This instantly triggered the terrifying S-rank 320x Rebound effect.

”Puff, puff, puff...”

The City Lord’s entire body immediately erupted in tiny sprays of blood from pin-sized holes, as if he had been subjected to the Storm Pear Flower Needles. His body was covered in puncture marks, and blood frothed from every pore.

The City Lord’s eyes rolled back, turning white and completely losing their light.

(#‵′) Damn!

”Don’t die on me!?”

Bai Tian was shocked. He didn’t expect that hurting a single hair would result in such an inhumane Rebound, causing the poor guy to kick the bucket on the spot.

In the distance, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape watched this. They glanced at each other and shook their heads: ”What a freak!”

Emil’s eyes widened as she gained a new understanding of Bai Tian’s terrifying Rebound Talent.

Any lingering schemes she had in her heart regarding Bai Tian vanished completely at that moment.

She fully understood that Bai Tian was someone she could never afford to offend.

If they were to become enemies again, neither she nor her family could bear the consequences.

Perhaps becoming his subordinate was the best choice.

”Hey!”

”Don’t die! You’re a City Lord, for goodness’ sake. Be a little stronger.”

As Bai Tian spoke, he tried to cast a Healing Spell on the cold City Lord.

The bleeding stopped, but the City Lord’s body grew even colder, like a block of ice.

I wonder if the [Houtu Soul Summoning Art] will work?

Can it bring him back to life?

With a thought, Bai Tian immediately cast the [Houtu Soul Summoning Art] on the City Lord’s corpse.

”City Lord?!”

”Audacious villain! You dare to murder a City Lord of Yunmeng Prefecture. No matter who you are, there will be no place for you in the Blood Domain.”

”Kill...”

A soaring roar of battle cries approached.

The powerful forces the City Lord had summoned before his death had all arrived.

Seeing the strong reinforcements and their sheer numbers, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape, who had been spectating, immediately stood up.

Even Emil summoned her Angelic Sword again, her eyes narrowing.

”It seems I’ve arrived just in time!”

At that moment, a beautiful voice echoed in the air from an indiscernible direction.

It was Jiang Yuebai, who had just arrived and successfully regrouped with everyone.

Since Jiang Yuebai was invisible, no one could see her position.

Emil snorted, annoyed by Jiang Yuebai’s posturing.

To perform well in front of Bai Tian and gain more of his favor, Emil was about to take the lead and charge out first when...

”Stop!”

The voice of the resurrected City Lord suddenly rang out across the field...
