Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Nigardi had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Shangyue and raise his left arm to take Mond's attack head-on.

boom!
Another dull, loud bang.

This impact was even more violent than before, and the shockwave spread in all directions, instantly tearing several huge cracks in the already rotten wooden walls of the cabin.

Mond's punch landed on Nigardi's left arm, and the point where the exoskeleton collided with the demonic flames erupted with a blinding light, with visible ripples of energy spreading outwards.

Nigadi's body swayed slightly, and a fine crack appeared on the dark skin of his left arm.

His brow furrowed.

This crazy guy's strength has actually increased again compared to before.

Mond grinned, his smile filled with a frenzied fighting spirit.

"Awesome! Again!"

He didn't give Nigati a chance to breathe before his other fist, wreathed in even more ferocious demonic flames, came crashing down.

A cold glint flashed in Nigadi's eyes.

His right arm swung violently, and the spear of light swept out horizontally.

This time, He was no longer on the defensive, but on the offensive.

Wherever the spear tip passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

The shot wasn't aimed at Mond's fist, but at his head.

Mondl's pupils contracted slightly. He forcefully pulled back his fist, leaned back, and narrowly dodged the shot.

But the force of the wind from the spear tip still grazed his cheek, leaving a small bloodstain.

"Damn, this gun is really weird." Mond wiped the blood off his face, his fighting spirit only growing stronger.

Just as Mond was forced back, Su Xiao reappeared beside Nigardi.

The Dragon Slayer was drawn, its blue-green blade flashing straight towards the gap in the bone spurs on Nigardi's lower back.

Nigardi used his left arm to defend, his dark skin colliding with the blade, sparks flying.

Su Xiao's strike didn't land properly; instead, he used the momentum to change direction, spinning his body so that the blade would strike from another angle.

Nigardi had just swung the spear of light from his right arm and couldn't retract it in time, so he could only dodge to the side.

The blade sliced ​​across his side, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on his greyish-white exoskeleton.

Su Xiao had achieved his goal: to wear down Nigati and accumulate damage.

At the same time, the Moon of Sorrow swooped down from above once again.

A cold glint flashed in Nigadi's eyes.

His right arm suddenly rose, and the spear of light thrust upwards. The golden spear collided with the silver scimitar, unleashing a blinding light.

boom!
A loud bang.

Shangyue felt as if she had struck a mountain; the force of the impact traveled along the scimitar to her arm, making her entire arm feel slightly numb.

Her body was thrown upwards by the shock, and she regained her footing in mid-air, a hint of seriousness flashing in her silver eyes.

Nigardi's power was indeed too great.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's constant support, she might have been injured by that attack.

But she also achieved her goal, creating an opportunity for Su Xiao.

The moment Nigati raised his arm to block Shangyue's attack, Su Xiao moved again.

His speed was so fast that his figure turned into a black shadow and appeared beside Nigadi in an instant.

The Dragon Slayer was drawn, its blade aimed straight for the bone spurs in Nigardi's neck!

This strike was swift, precise, and ruthless; the timing was perfect.

Nigadi's pupils contracted slightly, his head snapped to the side, and the blade grazed the edge of his neck.

In that brief pause, Mond lunged forward again.

This time, he didn't use his fists; instead, he rammed his entire body into Nigadi.

Demonic flames burned wildly on his body, forming a thick protective layer. He was like a burning meteor, crashing heavily into Nigardi.

boom!
A loud bang.

Nigadi's body was knocked backward, and for the first time, his massive frame showed signs of instability.

A flash of anger crossed his eyes.

These bugs are so annoying.

Although their attacks could not inflict fatal wounds on Him, they swarmed around Him like a swarm of flies, constantly harassing Him and preventing Him from concentrating on dealing with any of them.

Especially the guy with the knife, every attack he made precisely targeted His weakest point, each strike fatal.

What He feared most was that guy who hadn't made a move yet.

The guy who was almost killed by His first strike was now in a corner of the cabin, coldly watching Him.

That gaze made Him feel very uncomfortable.

Like a hunter watching his prey fall into a trap.

Nigadi really wants to swear right now.

He was peacefully holed up in his own lair, enjoying the offerings of believers, absorbing those devout souls, and slowly accumulating strength to await the coming of eternal night.

As a result, He was inexplicably dragged out of the spatial rift, and before He could react, the group of people began to beat Him up.

These outsiders are so rude!
Nigardi swung his spear of light across the room, the golden shaft unleashing a violent shockwave that forced Mond and Sorrow Moon back simultaneously.

Su Xiao also retreated at that instant, creating distance.

The three men formed a triangle around Nigadi, eyeing him menacingly.

Nigadi raised his head, his cold eyes sweeping over the three of them.

His lips twitched slightly, his expression a mixture of sneer and mockery.

His form began to slowly dissipate, like a wisp of mist gradually evaporating in the sunlight.

Su Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

He rushed forward immediately, unsheathing the Dragon Slayer Blade, its blade slicing across the spot where Nigardi had vanished.

The blade missed its target.

There was nothing there, only a faint trace of darkness lingering in the air.

Mond paused for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"Ran away? Just like that? What kind of ancient god is this, so cowardly?"

Shangyue didn't speak, but a hint of seriousness flashed in her silver eyes.

She spread her wings, flew into the air, and surveyed her surroundings from above.

Nothing at all.

The cabin was quiet inside and out, with only traces of the battle and broken planks remaining.

Nigadi simply vanished.

But Su Xiao did not let her guard down.

He stood there, his hand on the hilt of his knife, his half-closed eyes scanning every inch of the surrounding space.

Not right.

The ancient gods couldn't just run away like that.

Especially someone like Nigadi, who was forcibly dragged out and beaten like this, how could he possibly be willing to leave like this?

There must be something fishy going on.

Just then, Lin Yi, located in the shadow dimension, activated the aura's attack effect.

Having traversed so many worlds, the effects of Lin Yi's aura are starting to wane.

Against a being of Nigadi's caliber, ordinary attacks have very limited effect.

But one effect remains consistently effective: identifying friend from foe.

Within the area covered by the aura, any hostile target will be marked and will have nowhere to hide.

hum-

An invisible wave instantly spread out, enveloping the entire wooden house.

Su Xiao suddenly detected something within his perception range.

That was the air to Su Xiao's right, less than three meters away from him.

There was clearly nothing there, but under the sweep of the halo fluctuations, an extremely faint, almost imperceptible energy fluctuation appeared.

The next second, a bolt of lightning suddenly erupted!
Boom!

A blinding flash of lightning exploded in the air, illuminating the entire cabin.

The bolt of lightning struck the seemingly empty area, and the violent current instantly brought out whatever was hidden there.

Nigadi appeared in Su Xiao's sight, his body charred black.

His massive body was wrapped in fine electric currents, and several parts of his grayish-white exoskeleton were charred black from the electric shocks.

His face looked extremely grim.

For the first time, emotions other than contempt appeared in those indifferent eyes—astonishment, anger, and a hint of barely concealed embarrassment.

His disappearance was not due to escape, but rather to Nigadi's abilities.

The title "God of Nightmares" is well-deserved.

In those few short seconds, He had already activated His power, dragging this entire area into His own domain.

That is the realm related to dreams. Within this realm, He can hide Himself at will, create illusions, and trap His enemies in nightmares from which they cannot escape.

Nigadi's original plan was simple—to hide himself, observe the weaknesses of these people, and then defeat them one by one.

But before He could even begin to act, Lin Yi directly knocked Him out.

The lightning bolt wasn't powerful enough to harm Him, but it was enough to pull Him out of stealth.

Now that Nigadi is completely exposed to everyone, his previous secret plan has been ruined.

Su Ke would not let this opportunity slip away.

Almost the instant Nigadi appeared, Su Xiao moved.

Dragon Shadow Flash was activated again. His figure transformed into a black shadow, instantly traversing several meters and appearing in front of Nigadi.

The Dragon Slayer was drawn, its blade aimed straight for Nigardi's neck!
The slash was incredibly fast; the blade made almost no sound as it sliced ​​through the air, leaving only a bluish-green afterimage.

Nigadi reacted extremely quickly.

His right arm swung the spear of light violently, sweeping out with a terrifying wailing sound.

The golden gun barrel drew a magnificent arc in mid-air, hurtling towards Su Xiao's head.

If that blow lands, Su Xiao's head will definitely explode like a watermelon.

But Su Xiao's body suddenly sank, and he pressed down as if sliding along the ground.

The spear of light grazed past his head, the force of the spear tip severing a few strands of his black hair, which then drifted through the air.

At the same time, Su Xiao's knife arrived.

Zheng—

A clear, resonant sound of a blade ringing out.

The blade of the Dragon Slayer flashed across Nigardi's neck, entering from the left and exiting from the right.

Nigardi's head flew up.

The head, completely encased in an exoskeleton, traced a parabola in mid-air, its cold eyes still holding a hint of astonishment.

No blood gushed from the severed neck; only a faint black mist emerged from it and quickly dissipated into the air.

The massive headless corpse slowly slumped to the side, crashing to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

But the moment the body fell, Su Xiao frowned.

wrong.

The Gun of Light disappeared.

In the instant before his head was severed, the spear of light in Nigardi's hand vanished.

The golden spear did not fall with the corpse; instead, it vanished into thin air.

Su Xiao instantly understood.

This means that the opponent activated their ability the instant he attacked.

That ability is related to dreams; it can create illusions and hide oneself.

The body that was just severed was definitely a fake.

The real Nigardi is surely hiding somewhere, preparing to launch a fatal attack.

Su Xiao's senses instantly spread out, scanning every inch of the surrounding space.

But nothing was found.

Nigardi's ability to hide was so strong that even if you knew He was nearby, you couldn't pinpoint His exact location.

In that instant, Su Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

That chill wasn't a change in temperature, but an instinctive warning, a sense of danger honed through countless life-or-death battles. The spear of light suddenly appeared behind Su Xiao.

Without any warning, it appeared out of thin air, the golden spear tip heading straight for Su Xiao's back!

The angle of this shot was extremely tricky, and the timing was perfect, precisely at the moment when Su Xiao's old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated.

If Su Xiao were to be pierced by this spear, the terrifying power of the Light Spear would instantly pierce through his body and tear him to shreds.

Unfortunately, Nigardi overlooked one person.

Sad Moon.

The instant Nigardi disappeared, she didn't freeze like Mond, but immediately activated her senses.

The Feather Clan's perception abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people. Combined with the recognition effect of Lin Yi's aura, she had already detected the faint energy fluctuations a second before Nigadi launched his attack.

So the instant the spear of light appeared behind Su Xiao, Shang Yue's scimitar also appeared there simultaneously.

Zheng—

Another clear, resonant slash rang out.

The silver scimitar clashed with the golden spear, unleashing a blinding light.

A crescent moon bloomed behind Su Xiao; it was the afterimage left by Shang Yue's all-out attack.

The trajectory of the spear of light was abruptly interrupted, the tip of the spear deviated from its original direction, grazed past Su Xiao, and pierced the ground beside him.

boom!
A loud bang.

The spear of light pierced the ground, creating a crater half a meter in diameter and seemingly bottomless, scattering dirt and gravel everywhere.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Xiao rushed forward several meters to create distance, then turned around to look at the location where the Light Spear had appeared.

There, Nigadi's figure gradually appeared.

His face was terribly gloomy.

That shot just now was a carefully planned, fatal blow.

First, use a fake body to deceive Su Xiao and lower his guard, then hide your real body and launch a sneak attack at the best time.

This should have been a fatal shot.

But the woman with wings blocked her way.

Moreover, Shangyue's condition is not very good at the moment.

Although he successfully blocked the spear of light, Nigardi's power was simply too great.

At the moment of impact, Shangyue felt as if she had been hit by a mountain. The terrifying force was transmitted through the scimitar, making her entire arm go numb and her internal organs tremble.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's aura constantly boosting her defense and strength, that attack would have been enough to cause her internal injuries.

At this moment, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and a hint of pain flashed in her silver eyes, but she remained firmly in place, her scimitar held horizontally in front of her, staring intently at Nigadi.

Upon seeing this, Mond roared in fury, leaping into the air as demonic flames burned wildly across his body.

He raised his right leg high and then kicked Nicaragua hard in the back.

He used all his strength in this kick, pushing the power of the Demon Flame to its limit, and he descended from the sky like a burning meteor.

boom!
A loud bang, like a cannonball exploding.

Mond's right foot slammed into Nigardi's back, right at the back of his heart, the crucial point where the exoskeleton connects to the spine.

A terrifying impact erupted instantly, and a visible shockwave spread outwards, blowing away all the surrounding debris.

Click!

Several cracking sounds could be clearly heard.

That was the sound of bones cracking.

But it wasn't Niggard's exoskeleton that shattered, but rather Mondstadt's foot bones.

Mond staggered a few steps after landing, his face contorted in pain.

He had always heard people say that the ancient gods had very high defensive capabilities, but it wasn't until he experienced it for himself that he realized just how exaggerated those capabilities were.

He felt as if he had kicked Gao Zhengang's steel plate, not flesh and blood.

The force of the shock almost shattered all the bones in his foot. At this moment, his entire right foot was numb, and he felt waves of pain in his sole, making him grimace involuntarily.

"Damn it, what is this thing?" Mond cursed through gritted teeth.

Nigadi staggered forward from the kick, but quickly regained his balance.

He turned his head, his cold eyes looking at Mond, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

Then He stretched out His black left arm, fingers spread, and grabbed Mond's left foot.

Mond's pupils contracted as he tried to break free, but Nigardi's strength was too great; his hand gripped his ankle like an iron clamp, rendering him completely immobile.

"Get out of here!"

Nigardi let out a low growl and suddenly swung Mond around with his left arm.

Mondl's massive body, over three meters tall, was like a toy in Nigardi's hands, tossed around and sent flying in a huge arc through the air.

Nigadi's target wasn't just randomly thrown; he precisely aimed at Shangyue, who was standing not far away.

Mondl's body, like a human cannonball, crashed heavily into Sorrowful Moon.

Shangyue's expression changed, and she tried to dodge, but Mond's speed was too fast, and Nigardi's swing was too powerful. She didn't have time to completely dodge.

She could only turn to the side, using her wings to protect her body, and take the hit head-on.

boom!
Another loud bang.

Mond's body slammed into Shangyue, and the two of them flew backward, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Mondl was mostly unharmed; the demon race's constitution allowed him to withstand the vast majority of damage.

But Shangyue is in a terrible situation.

She had already been injured by Niggard's gunshot, and now she was hit by Mond's nearly ton-heavy body, leaving her feeling terrible.

She lay on the ground, the blood at the corner of her mouth flowing even more, her silver eyes filled with pain.

"Idiot..." she cursed through gritted teeth.

Mond quickly got up and scratched his head.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to, that guy was just too damn ruthless."

Shangyue took a deep breath, too lazy to argue with him, struggled to get up, and fixed her gaze on Nigadi once again.

But just as Nigadi retaliated, Su Xiao and Lin Yi moved at the same time.

This is the moment they've been waiting for.

The moment Nigardi flung Mond away, his attention was completely focused on the two men, which was the perfect opportunity to strike.

Su Xiao was the fastest.

With the activation of Dragon Shadow Flash, his figure transformed into a black shadow, instantly traversing several meters to appear in front of Nigadi.

As the Dragon Slayer was drawn, the blue-green light on its blade suddenly surged.

'Blade of Destruction.'

This is one of Su Xiao's strongest single-target attack moves, concentrating all his power into a single strike to pursue ultimate destructive power.

As the blade slashed down, the surrounding air was torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

Nigardi's pupils contracted as he instinctively tried to dodge, but having just flung Mond away, he hadn't fully regained his footing and had no time to avoid the attack.

He could only raise his left arm to block.

Dark skin clashed with the blue-green blade.

boom!
A loud bang.

The blade slashed into Nigadi's left arm, leaving a deep wound on his dark skin.

Dark red blood gushed from the wound and dripped onto the ground.

Nigadi let out a muffled groan.

But before He could retaliate, He felt a chill from behind.

Lin Yi had appeared behind him without him even noticing.

'Abyss Shadow - The Blade of the End.'

This is Lin Yi's strongest attack move, condensing the power of the abyss into a deadly sword light, launching a fatal blow from behind the target.

The black and white rose pierced Nigardi's back, precisely at the crucial point where his spine connected to his exoskeleton.

The moment the sword pierced through, the power of the abyss surged into Nigardi's body like countless venomous snakes, frantically eroding his divine energy.

Nigadi's body stiffened.

His pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, fear appeared on his face, which was covered by an exoskeleton.

The two attacks, one from the front and the other from behind, were perfectly coordinated.

Nigadi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to use his ability to escape, as if he wanted to create an illusion to confuse them.

But it was too late.

The next second, countless pale blue crystal spikes pierced through His body.

Those crystalline spikes, as if alive, grew wildly from His wounds and from the gaps between His bone spurs, instantly piercing through Nigardi's entire body.

The crystal spikes pierced through the exoskeleton, through the muscles, and through the internal organs, pinning Him in mid-air.

Nigadi's body trembled violently, his face filled with resentment.

But this is not the end.

Immediately afterwards, strange changes began to appear in the areas attacked by Lin Yi's Blade of the End.

A black crack began to spread from the wound, extending outwards.

The crack was so deep that its bottom was invisible, and a terrifying suction force emanated from within, frantically devouring everything around it.

Nigadi tried to struggle, but his body was pinned down by the crystal spikes and he couldn't move at all.

Just then, Su Xiao moved again.

He gave Nigardi no chance to catch his breath.

He activated Dragon Shadow Flash and instantly appeared in front of Nigardi, raising Dragon Slayer Flash high.

puff-

A dull thud, like a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

The long blade pierced through Nigadi's skull, entering between his eyebrows and exiting from the back of his head.

The blue-green light on the blade pulsed wildly, completely severing its last vestige of life.

Nigadi's body froze on the spot.

Those cold eyes held no anger, no fear, only an undisguised resentment.

He was unwilling to accept it.

If He hadn't been ganged up on, if that strange halo hadn't exposed His disguise, and if those two hadn't cooperated, He would never have failed like this.

He is an ancient god.

It is an existence that has lived for countless years.

He was a powerful figure who once killed the Goddess of Light and Flame.

It is a deity worshipped by countless believers.

How could someone die here?
How could he have died at the hands of a few mortals?
But whether He was willing or not, it was all over.

Su Xiao took a step back and pulled the long knife out of Nigadi's head.

The moment the blade left, dark red blood gushed from the wound and flowed down His cheeks.

But Su Xiao did not stop.

He immediately swung his sword horizontally, without any unnecessary fancy movements.

brush-

A crisp, clean slashing sound.

Nigardi's head was severed from his neck, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Those eyes were still open, filled with resentment.

The tall, headless corpse collapsed in front of Su Xiao with a dull thud.

The moment the body fell, its exoskeleton began to crack rapidly.

This is the end for the ancient gods.

No matter how powerful one is, no matter how long one has lived, death is but a moment.

Su Xiao stood still, his Dragon Slayer Blade pointing diagonally at the ground, dark red blood still dripping from its blade.

Mond got up from the ground, limped over, and scratched his head as he looked at the corpse.

"He's dead already? I thought it would take forever."

Just then, the notification sound of the Paradise of Reincarnation rang in Lin Yi's ears.

[Notification: You have defeated the Nightmare God, Nigardi.] (End of Chapter)
