Chapter 72 p1
◎ Victory ◎
“What stubborn rats,” the man floated in mid-air, half of his neck severed, making his head look like it was about to fall off at any moment. However, a smile still hung on his face, as if this bit of damage was nothing to him.
“Very good,” he smiled even more brightly, giving off a creepy sense of fear. “You’ve successfully angered me.”
All the mutated creatures on the deck turned into dark red energy and poured into his body. In almost an instant, his neck was restored to its original state. Not only had all the damage to his body disappeared, but he even looked stronger.
Yu Chi was secretly shocked, but she didn’t dare to waste any time. While he was talking, she drank a spirit recovery potion and threw a few more bottles to the other combatants.
The Holy Light Tree had already healed her injuries. Although the Space Blade could only be used three times, after her spirit recovered, the number of uses was refreshed again.
To be honest, this scene was a bit terrifying, but Yu Chi was not without her trump cards. However, at this stage, there was no need to take out her mermaid and Cinnabar Finch forms.
These two states were not as stable as the elf, and they were not her true bloodline. They were not as easy to use as the elf. The trump card she was referring to was the demigod-grade necklace that the Elf King had once given her.
The elf’s strength was getting stronger and stronger, and she was becoming more and more clear about the energy contained in the necklace. This was not a simple protective measure. The energy inside could even be described as world-destroying.
But did she need to use this trump card?
Just one scavenger, one scavenger, had forced her to use her final trump card… and it was under the siege of several people. If this continued, she could forget about struggling in this world in the future.
This man was indeed very difficult to kill, but their side was not without its advantages. As long as Yu Chi was here, both the injuries and the consumed spirit could be recovered.
And, the dark red energy was very tricky, but the Holy Light could barely suppress it. By comparison, their side was not without a chance of winning.
“Be careful!” Her thoughts were interrupted, and Yu Chi suddenly turned her head.
But it was already too late. The man’s figure suddenly disappeared in the air, and the next second—
“Boom!”
Li Feng was kicked into the sea, stirring up a huge wave. Just as Zuo He’s bronze lottery stick lit up, the man had already flashed in front of him and shattered his ribs with a punch!
“Cough cough!” Zuo He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying more than ten meters.
Too fast.
It was several times faster than before, almost making it impossible for people to react.
Yu Chi’s pupils shrank. She raised her hand and threw a few Holy Lights at Zuo He, while attacking the man. On the other side, the silver wolf roared and pounced on the man, but was corroded by the dark red energy, and half of its body instantly festered.
“Awooo—” The silver wolf wailed and fell to the ground. Yu Chi turned around and cast three Holy Lights on the silver wolf, instructing the treant to roll up the silver wolf and take it away from the battlefield.
“Damn it!” she gritted her teeth, and with a turn of her blade, a silver-white saber qi slash and a space blade chopped at the man’s back.
The man didn’t even turn his head. He turned to the side to dodge the space blade, and at the same time, he grabbed with his backhand and actually crushed the saber qi with his bare hands! The dark red energy spread along the blade. Yu Chi decisively abandoned her saber and retreated, but her arm was still corroded, and her flesh and blood instantly turned black.
An Jin endured the pain and flapped his wings. Countless light balls rained down like a storm, but were all bounced off by the energy barrier around the man.
“Annoying flies,” the man sneered and raised his hand to clench.
“Crack!” The angel’s wing bones were crushed by an invisible force. He fell from the air with a pale face and was caught by the treant.
The twin sisters’ magic circle and arrows exploded at the same time, but the man shuttled through them like a ghost, shattering the older sister’s bow with a punch and breaking the younger sister’s ribs with a kick.
“Pfft!” The two sisters spat out blood and fell to the ground at the same time.
The situation instantly collapsed!
Yu Chi’s whole body was cold, but her eyes became more and more fierce. The man slowly walked towards her, a smile still on his face. “You’re their alliance leader, right? You’ve done a good job, but it’s a pity…”
“It’s a pity you have no idea what I’ve been through,” his eyes were deep, and his expression even became ferocious, his eyes filled with resentment and malice. “With just you guys, you can’t defeat me.”
“I don’t want to know either,” Yu Chi’s lips curled.
Her hands did not stop for a moment. While drinking the spirit recovery potion, she threw Holy Lights at the twin sisters and An Jin. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on the man without blinking, guarding against his attacks at any time.
“You’re all talk. I just don’t know how long you can be tough,” the man raised his hand, and the dark red energy condensed into a giant blade, which chopped directly down at Yu Chi from the air.
The speed was extremely fast. In the last second before it chopped down, the teleportation spell was successfully chanted, and Yu Chi successfully left the spot. However, after the giant blade chopped on the ground, a huge explosion suddenly occurred, and the dark red energy enveloped everyone.
Yu Chi used a shield to block the explosion, and at the same time, she raised her hand to control a lightning strike to chop at the man. With her other hand, she took out a Rubik’s Cube and twisted it in a certain direction.
I can’t let everyone be touched by this dark red energy, Yu Chi gritted her teeth.
【Defense】
The energy of the Rubik’s Cube enveloped everyone, separating the few of them from the dark red energy. The energy slowly dissipated in the air.
At the same time, the defensive barrier of the Rubik’s Cube also made a piercing cracking sound under the corrosion of the dark red energy. The web between Yu Chi’s thumb and forefinger was torn, and blood dripped down from between her fingers.
The man tilted his head, his smile becoming more and more ferocious: “Nice toy.” He suddenly raised his hand, and the dark red energy surged like a giant wave, and the barrier instantly shattered!
“Boom—”
Yu Chi was sent flying by the shockwave and hit the mast heavily. The sharp pain of her broken ribs made her vision go black. She gritted her teeth and propped herself up, only to see that the man had already flashed in front of her, and the dark red giant blade was chopping straight down!
“Clang!”
A long spear stabbed out from the side, forcibly blocking the giant blade!
Li Feng was covered in blood, and the muscles in his arms were torn, but he held on tightly: “I’m not dead yet!”
The man narrowed his eyes: “A dying struggle.”
He added more force again. Li Feng’s knee “cracked” and shattered, but he still did not retreat.
An Jin on the other side flew up again. He closed his eyes, covered in blood, like a legendary battle angel. “Angel’s Judgment!”
This was his strongest blow, and also a blow that he would never use until the last moment.
A dazzling white light descended from the sky, like a divine punishment, enveloping the man. Under the man’s incredulous gaze, it forcibly split open the dark red barrier.
“Now,” An Jin’s calm voice sounded.
Yu Chi combined the space blade and the Holy Light. Zuo He had a lottery stick in his left hand and a suona in his right. Li Feng’s injuries were healed by the Holy Light scroll, and he held his long spear and went up. The twins were also not to be outdone, and their staff and bow and arrow attacked the man at the same time.
All the attacks rushed towards the man’s body, at this critical moment when he showed a flaw.
However—
The man’s hoarse laughter came from the white light.
“You flowers in the greenhouse…” he walked forward step by step. With every step, the deck under his feet was melting. “It seems you have no idea what real despair is.”
His body suddenly expanded, and the dark red energy turned into a substantial armor. Yu Chi’s eyes widened unconsciously. The dark red energy on his body turned into human faces, roaring and rushing at the few of them.
“This is—” Zuo He coughed up blood, his pupils shrinking. “Souls of the dead…”
“Correct,” the man sneered. “For every person I kill, I become one point stronger.”
Yu Chi’s heart sank to the bottom. They were not only facing a scavenger, but also a collection of hundreds of souls of the dead!
The man had already walked in front of them, the dark red giant blade held high: “Farewell.”
At the critical moment—
“Boom!”
A silver light suddenly came from the side, sending the man flying!
Yu Chi turned her head and saw that the silver wolf had somehow broken free from the treant’s restraint and was pouncing on the enemy, its whole body burning with silver flames!
But…
“Ah Yin, wait!”
As the master, Yu Chi was the one who knew best what was happening to the silver wolf. It was life force… Ah Yin’s life force was constantly disappearing!
But it was already too late.
Yu Chi stared at this scene, her eyes about to pop out. In the silver flames, the huge silver wolf’s head seemed to turn to look at her, and it soon dissipated in the air.
“Yu Chi!”
Zuo He’s roar brought her back to her senses. She turned her head in a daze. Zuo He’s gaze was calm and fiery. He pulled Yu Chi’s body and dodged the attack.
“Don’t get distracted,” he said.
Yu Chi’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She raised her hand and gripped the necklace on her chest. There was no other way. Everyone had already done their best.
Even Ah Yin… at least she couldn’t die here!
However, the second before she was about to use the necklace, the aura of someone next to her was disappearing, just like Ah Yin just now—how could it be?!
She turned her head and looked at Zuo He in shock, almost wanting to question him what he was doing, but she saw him calmly say, “In short, we have to win.”
What the hell, what… win what? As long as they immediately disbanded the alliance, everyone could immediately return to their own territorial sea.
Except for the twin sisters who had been targeted, but was Zuo He that close to them, to use this form—
“You wouldn’t have backed down anyway, right?” Zuo He smiled nonchalantly. “An Jin is already in that state.”
“Maybe it’s fate,” he said finally.
Zuo He’s ability was different from others. Whether it was her or others, they could use their skills again after their spirit recovered, but drawing lots was different.
This kind of action against fate would all backfire on Zuo He. Under Yu Chi’s desperate gaze, he calmly threw out the last lottery stick. His whole body suddenly split open, and blood came out from under his clothes. His fair face was also covered in blood.
【Mutual destruction】
The lottery stick burned, and everyone’s injuries instantly worsened, but their abilities were all stimulated.
Zuo He’s body fell down. Yu Chi grabbed at him in a daze. She could no longer sense the other party’s life force.
It seemed to have completely disappeared.
…
Then so be it.
