Chapter 145 Dead End (Part 2) Yeah yeah yeah, I’ve finished writing (scatter flowers)…
High in the sky.
A sharp and piercing curse echoed in the air like thunder, lingering for a long time.
"Fuck you! Zai Zhe! How can you attack a city like this!? Ah! Even a stupid duck with water in its brain can quack more cleverly than you! Fuck you, beep—"
The chief designer of the Youdu renovation was holding a loud speaker and cursing at the open-air command platform. His face turned red. Before he could finish a few words, the loud speaker in his hand disappeared. He was so anxious that he searched all over the floor for it.
And this? Above the wall outside the dark city floating in the sky, Zai Zhe was casually tossing a trumpet.
He stared at the elite resistance soldiers standing densely on the city wall, ready for battle. All of them were wearing combat uniforms and carrying parachute packs. Their faces were excited and full of vigor, and they could even be called impatient.
Behind them, there were many pitch-black silk threads floating, pressing against the back of their necks, with the other end extending far into the depths of Youdu.
Zai Zhe coughed lightly, ignoring Wu Wang and other second-in-command of Youdu who were giving him the middle finger, and shouted through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, I remind you again, those who are afraid of heights can withdraw from this operation. This? It's thousands of miles in the sky, don't faint under the enemy's sword before you land."
There were more people on the high wall giving him the middle finger than before, and the low laughter seemed to merge into an ocean.
"Okay, everyone is brave. Since we are already standing here, I won't say anything that will annoy you."
Zai Zhe raised his voice, and his tone became serious and solemn.
“I will only repeat three sentences.”
"First, the enemy is any living thing that attacks you, whether it is human or animal, or even your companions. But don't think about it, and don't show mercy, otherwise you will be the one to die."
"Second, there is no need to fear the unknown. We will eliminate all interference for you. Hold the sword and let courage fill your soul! ... But if you encounter an opponent you cannot match, you can call for help."
"Third... Is there really no one who is afraid of heights?"
There was a chorus of boos from the audience.
Zai Zhe waved his hands helplessly, "Okay, then? Everyone get ready..."
The elite soldiers standing on the high wall held their breath, leaned forward, and waited for a few seconds. Suddenly, there was a thunderous "jump" above their heads!
The next second, countless elite soldiers standing on the high walls fell forward and fell completely from the sky.
Above the dense black shadows, thin black silk threads flew high like ropes, forming a spider web that blended into the night.
Zai Zhe held the trumpet in one hand and pressed the hilt of the knife with the other, falling at a much faster speed than the others.
The sky covered by the night was filled with dark clouds, and then suddenly a layer of dark red protective shield appeared. That was the first layer of barrier that the Kingdom Fortress automatically raised when it detected an attack from an external enemy.
Zai Zhe drew his sword without hesitation. The tip of the sword flashed a cold light in the night, and then pierced deeply through the barrier at lightning speed.
“The first rule…”
The dark red barrier began to crack from the point where it was pierced by the knife tip, and in an instant, a crisp sound of cracking was heard, and it turned into countless fragments that fell one after another.
Then, thousands of high-speed falling black shadows suddenly appeared among the countless falling barrier fragments.
Zai Zhe looked at those figures that seemed to blend into the night, took a deep breath, and said, "Within this domain, all my friends will not be disturbed by their thoughts, will not be afraid of unknown forces, and will always be invincible and always victorious."
As the sound rang out, an unnoticeable wave quickly spread in the air.
A huge blood-red eye suddenly appeared in the sky above the kingdom, staring coldly at the warriors that fell from the sky. Contempt and ridicule flashed in it, and then an invisible force pressed down heavily.
For a moment, the thoughts of the landing resistance elites fell into a brief blank, and then a pair of mysterious and charming purple eyes flashed in their minds at the same time, unceremoniously weakening the force attempting to invade.
The second level was the power that suddenly emerged from the depths of their souls, flowing through their bodies like boiling magma, instantly waking up their chaotic thoughts.
Some people were pleasantly surprised to find that their whole body was filled with endless strength, and as soon as they landed, they screamed and attacked the nearest person, but were then grabbed by their teammates.
"The dark cloak should be the ally Hidden Lantern Society lurking in the kingdom."
"But this? The members of the Ho-in Lantern Society seem to be hostile to us... They are attacking us."
"Then? Let's do it! My God, it's been a long time since I had such a satisfying fight!"
Countless elite rebels who had landed adjusted to the surrounding situation a little, and then fought against those attackers.
As for the dark threads that were always floating behind them, after confirming that their minds were normal, they silently split and slowly explored the members of the Hidden Lantern Society who were also in chaos.
Under the cover of darkness, dozens of people were controlled by the threads without knowing it. After a brief moment of awakening, they were once again covered by the will of the desert god, and finally fell into a coma, forcibly controlled by the pitch-black threads.
At the same time, Zai Zhe, who had smashed the kingdom? Behind the barrier, returned to the high-altitude Youdu, passed by a red-haired man who was holding the base high in the sky with his own strength and cursing, and found Chu Li who was standing on the high wall and controlling the silk thread.
"Where are they?"
Chu Li pointed to a certain place below and said attentively: "Zhang Chun, Yun Yan, the Desert God's clone, and... the chief priest, are all there. Although it is a palace, it is more like being in another space. Zhang Chun cannot enter. His abilities overlap with those of the Desert God to a certain extent, so he is suppressed."
Zai Zhe seemed to have heard an incompatible name, but soon his attention fell on the second half of the sentence, "Where is Yun Yan?"
Chu Li was silent for a moment, then said, "The aura is a little strange, I can't make a judgment."
Zai Zhe frowned, "I'll go find Zhang Chun."
His figure disappeared on the spot.
The dead silence in the air suddenly erupted? A burst of angry curses.
"So what about me? What about me! Then? Now that everyone has gone down, I can finally put Youdu back on the ground, right? You guys? A bunch of animals!!"
"No." Chu Li refused: "The high altitude view is great? Good, I can see the whole situation."
"Watch your sister's game, bastard!!"
Ming Ji, who had never thought that the wind-based ability could lift an entire base into the sky, cursed again.
Meanwhile, in the Kingdom? Ground level, outside the Upper City Palace? .
When Zai Zhe found Zhang Chun, he discovered that he was half squatting on the ground, with his hands on the ground, and his face was extremely pale.
"It's a different space."
After seeing Zai Zhe, Zhang Chun coughed twice and motioned him to look in the direction of the giant red barrier in front of him, which seemed to be there and not there. It was so high that it almost covered the entire sky and exuded a strong sense of terror.
He seemed to be enduring something, frowning and saying, "The Desert God? Moved His death place directly into a projection and brought it here? I can?t cross that layer of space barrier to attack Him."
Zai Zhe saw some blood on the inside of Zhang Chun's sleeve and frowned slightly, "You..."
"So I'm trying to find the real deadly place and attack it directly from the source."
Zhang Chun interrupted Zai Zhe and cast a silent gaze through his fringe, "Zai Zhe, your current strength is not enough to break through the alien space created by God. Go contact Wan Mingxu and stabilize the Knights. I suspect that the Desert God wants to destroy the entire kingdom?"
Zai Zhe also interrupted him and said, "Then, can your current strength cross such a long distance and go deep into the death zone to directly confront the divine realm? Don't joke, Zhang Chun."
After that, he drew his knife and faced the dark red transparent space in front of him. He spoke as if he was chatting, but it was blunt and sounded like he was cursing, "I've wanted to say this a long time ago. This isn't a dead end yet. Don't make everyone so embarrassed."
"But if it really comes to a dead end, I'm not sure I can make you become? Stronger? " Zhang Chun sighed.
"The Knights..."
He still remembers? The Knights are likely to be in a state of confusion.
Zai Zhe looked up at the sky and said, "Chu Li is watching."
The light silk thread fell from the sky, slowly passed in front of Zhang Chun, and then floated away into the distance.
"...This? It looks like hair? What is this silky thing?"
Zai Zhe shrugged: "Chu Li's new research on the use of supernatural powers? Don't say, it's quite weird in the middle of the night, worthy of the aesthetic taste of a supernatural person."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of deafening noises suddenly sounded in the distance, and even the ground was shaking.
In the dark night, it seemed as if scarlet sand was spreading from the ground, rising silently, forming terrifying and twisted shadows.
They stood in every corner of the Kingdom?s three major districts, like soldiers who had received orders, transformed into weapons and rushed into the countless chaotic battlefields without hesitation!
The Hidden Lantern Society, the Knights, the Guards, the rebels who had just landed, and even the ordinary people who had been hiding in their homes seemed to be possessed by the inexplicable murderous intent. They picked up their weapons and rushed out of their homes, becoming part of the melee.
And in this kingdom filled with chaos and war, twisted figures made of scarlet sand are randomly joining the battlefield, bringing the chaos and riot to a climax.
High in the sky, dense black threads spread across every corner, looking for a suitable target, either to wake it up or to forcibly control and counterattack the sand monsters that suddenly appeared.
Upper Town, Noble Banquet Hall.
Broken wine glasses were scattered all over the floor, blood and wine were mixed together, and the air was filled with the stench of decay and the sticky smell of blood.
Bai Qiu leaned on the sofa, with gold and silver jewelry scattered around his feet. His eyes were focused on the chandelier above his head, his mind was blank, as if even his soul was asleep.
The next second, a sharp pain spread throughout his body. He suddenly opened his eyes and bent forward. A pain as if the skin was cut spread across his neck.
"Hello."
A strange voice sounded behind him, and the man who was wrapping something like a strand of hair around Bai Qiu's neck introduced himself, "I'm Wan Mingxu, a lightning-type mutant, and I'm here to save you."
Bai Qiu raised his hand to touch his neck and felt blood on it. "But you almost killed me."
Wan Mingxu paused for a moment and said, "I thought it needed to be tied around the neck."
Another pitch-black thread appeared from mid-air and gently but decisively pierced into the back of Bai Qiu's neck, as if demonstrating to Wan Mingxu how it worked.
Before Bai Qiu even felt the stinging pain, his brain suddenly went blank. He woke up a few seconds later, then became distracted again. In just a few minutes, he went through several cycles of being awake and blank, causing him to feel a splitting headache.
"Let's go, time user."
Wan Mingxu forcefully grabbed Bai Qiu's wrist and said, "Don't worry about your brain. You don't need to be awake right now."
Bai Qiu forced a sarcastic smile, "You want me to fall into a nightmare here? Without knowing anything?"
Wan Mingxu seemed to see something through Bai Qiu. He was silent for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "The nightmare will end sooner or later... Whether you like it or not."
He dragged Bai Qiu out of the banquet hall and explained quickly: "The whole kingdom is in chaos now. This thread will control some people into a coma, but there are still some people who can resist this control, and there is currently a group of very strange creatures..."
In the pitch-black night, a figure wearing a robe and with long hair stood in front of them. Behind him were more than a dozen strange figures with scarlet sand flowing in them.
"Knower?" Bai Qiu looked at the familiar figure, then at the bloody hole on the other's chest, and his pupils shrank a little bit.
Wan Mingxu took a step forward, his whole body lit up with a particularly dazzling purple light in the night, his expression was particularly solemn.
"Bai Qiu, this? It's an enemy."
Bai Qiu was silent for a moment, then said, "No, I am time, I can save him."
A dozen meters away, the knower stood in silence, looking at them from afar.
The next second, the battle broke out instantly? .
And this? A fierce battle scene just happened to appear on a screen.
A dozen or so reduced screens showed the chaotic scene of the entire kingdom. The night enveloped everything, but it could not stop the desert god from looking down from above.
In a special different space.
As if sharing something interesting, the virtual image rotated several screens showing the battlefield around the boy not far away, smiling and saying, "Look, how interesting it is. Whether it is the comrades who are entrusted with the back, the relatives who are blood-thick and water-thick, or the like-minded friends, countless resistance and determination will collapse in front of God, forcing them to take up weapons and point them at the former..."
Chu Xiuyan, who was scanning the screens like watching a movie, suddenly interrupted: "Shendu, you missed a love story. Is it so pure?"
The shadow thought for a moment, "Oh? Didn't I mention my lover just now?"
"No."
Just as the phantom was about to laugh, dozens of scarlet ribbons came from the side and stabbed at his body like snakes, but failed to leave the slightest mark.
After being interrupted, his breath became noticeably unstable. He looked at the silver-haired priest who was looking thoughtfully at the scarlet sand and said coldly, "For the sake of the Northwest, I have given you too much patience."
"Thank you for your concern, Shen?du."
The silver-haired priest smiled and called out the god's name, as if he couldn't feel the rapidly cooling atmosphere around him. He raised his palm slightly, his feet still stepping on the blood-red sand.
And around there were countless blood-red ribbons surging like living things, attacking the phantom in an all-over manner.
The phantom was about to stop him, but the ribbons passed by him and burrowed deep into the blood-red sand behind him, destroying everything crazily.
A large amount of blood sand was forcibly thrown into the air and splashed all over the phantom.
He looked even angrier.
Three huge "sand men" rose from the ground and rushed towards the silver-haired man. The chief priest stepped heavily on him, but in an instant they were cut into countless pieces by the blood-red ribbons.
A similar giant "Sand Man" also appeared inside the kingdom. On the screen, Bai Qiu and Wan Mingxu teamed up to defeat the "Knower" and others. Countless people who stayed awake were rushing towards the direction of the "Giant Sand Man". Zhang Chun and Zai Zhe seemed to be trying something outside the palace in the upper city.
Chu Xiuyan propped his chin up and watched intently. Suddenly, he realized something and turned his head to the right. A cold and familiar crack appeared in the dark red air, as if it was cut by a sharp blade.
Faintly, it seemed as if I really saw Zai Zhe, who was holding a long sword, his arm covered in blood but still trying to shatter the alien space, and Zhang Chun, who was coughing up blood and frowning behind him.
"You are a bug that doesn't know its own limits."
Chu Xiuyan turned his eyes slightly and looked forward. The battle between the Desert God? and the silver-haired? High Priest had been decided.
Obviously, the phantom won, even though he was just a clone of a god.
The shadow pinched the silver-haired priest's neck, as if he were really pinching a bug, and gradually increased the force to suffocate him to death.
However, the next second, a blood-red circular pattern appeared under their feet. The silver-haired priest had blood on his lips, but he still had that smiling look on his face.
"Shen?Du, do you still remember??" He said softly, "Decades?Ago, everyone could call you by your name, your surname, Shen?Du. Shen?Du, you are the one who saves people..."
Silver hair? The chief priest seemed to see an extremely interesting scene through the blurry face of the phantom. After laughing for a while, he suddenly lowered his voice, "Seal——"
Snap!
Silver hair? The officiant paused for a moment.
The boy who almost teleported here crushed the seal formation with one foot.
Chu Xiuyan's hair had turned black at this time, with a faint scarlet sheen, swaying slightly with his movements. At first glance, his scarlet eyes looked no different from before, but for some reason, they exuded an aura that made people dare not look directly at them.
Silver hair? The officiant's smile disappeared from his lips, as if he wanted to look deeply through the cloth at the boy who came to stop him?
"I don't like the seal formation very much." Chu Xiuyan crushed the seal formation with one foot. His breathing did not change at all. After he raised his head, a smile appeared on his face again. He looked cute and well-behaved. "This? It reminds me of the not-so-good past. So, High Priest, why don't you die again?"
The shadow pinched the silver hair? The chief priest's hand loosened a little, and said to the young man as if he had realized something: "It seems that you two also have a grudge, this time? I will give it to you..."
boom!
A fist smashed deeply into His face.
Caught off guard, the phantom was hit directly and took two steps back.
Tick-tock, tick-tock…
Two drops of golden blood fell onto the hot blood-red sand.
The silver-haired man who also stumbled a few steps? The chief priest covered his lips and coughed twice, looking at the unexpected scene in front of him, thinking.
The shadow took two steps back and slowly raised his hand, as if he had encountered something that had never happened before. He looked at the golden blood sizzling on the sand in disbelief and confusion.
Chu Xiuyan turned his wrist, his smile remained unchanged, but his tone revealed a subtle flavor that made the shadow and the chief priest feel uncomfortable. "Is that so? I don't like your arrogant attitude either. Shendu, when you talk to me, please stop being so condescending, or kneel down and use honorifics."
It's arrogance.
"How dare you—"
How fierce was the phantom? Looking up, the blood sand under his feet was shaking violently like a rage, as if it was about to turn into a ferocious beast and devour everything.
"Why shouldn't I?"
The smile on Chu Xiuyan's face faded little by little, and then turned into a laugh that was almost identical to the phantom, "Shen? Du, what am I in your eyes? Am I a human, or a god??!"
The pitiful little gray fog that was curled up above the head suddenly expanded, covering the entire space like a dark cloud, pouring down in a dark mass, devouring the area where the blood sand was with a far more terrifying momentum than before.
The blood sand behind the phantom turned into a wave and rose to the sky, fighting against the gray fog pressing down from above.
Then, figures gradually appeared one after another in the open space covered by the sand tide. "They" held weapons in their hands, transformed into a well-organized army, and attacked the gray fog step by step.
Seeing this, Chu Xiuyan's smile deepened. He raised his hand slightly, and densely packed scarlet eyes also lit up in the gray fog behind him.
One after another, black shadows condensed from the gray fog appeared, with wisps of strange blood-colored gas lingering on their surface. They stood silently behind him, forming an indestructible army, confronting the "Sand Man Army" that was approaching step by step on the blood sand opposite.
The dividing line between the battle between the gray fog and the blood sand seemed to divide this space into two halves. The almost identical "Sand Man Army" and "Mist Man Army" squeezed the surrounding air to the point where it could not flow.
The silver-haired officiant felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, so he stepped back a few meters to observe the situation.
"唳——"
A sharp whistle sounded in the sky, and a giant desert eagle with a wingspan of five meters flew from the sky above the blood sand to the gray fog. The next second, a sharp whistle also sounded in the gray fog, and a giant eagle exactly the same as the desert eagle flew out of the fog, pecking and biting it fiercely in the sky.
A few seconds later, the Mist Eagle and the Desert Eagle disappeared together, turning into gray mist and blood sand and returning to their original places.
Then came wolves, tigers, bears, insects, rats, and ants...
Like a tacit competition, the blood sand and gray fog condensed into hundreds of beasts and engaged in a biting and fighting battle.
The shadow calmly and attentively tested the boy's strength.
Chu Xiuyan, on the other hand, was like getting a new toy, unceremoniously snatching more skills from the phantom.
The space created by the Desert God was obviously unable to contain the power of both sides. The vibration became more and more intense, and then cracks suddenly appeared.
Click, click…
The sound of breaking continued.
The shadow stopped the competition and stared at the boy shrouded in gray fog in the distance. He was unhappy and embarrassed by the battle that could not distinguish the upper and lower ones. "[Blood Mist], you are just copying my [Spirit]."
Chu Xiuyan spread his hands and said with a strange smile: "What's the point of having a spirit that can't even defeat its clones?"
arrogant.
The shadow looked at the boy? That? Smiling face, and once again smelled a familiar scent.
Just as he was about to speak, the blood sand under his feet suddenly shook violently, and several huge cracks appeared like a sudden earthquake, and his figure began to become blurred and unstable.
"The Death Place is being attacked...?"
The shadow turned around and looked at the blood sand that was beginning to riot uncontrollably, with a hint of doubt in his tone, followed by undisguised contempt.
"Oh, you don't know your own limits."
He had the intention of returning to the deathland to deal with the invaders, so he did not intend to stay any longer. He turned to Chu Xiuyan and said, "The different time and space cannot accommodate the power of both of us. I will wait for you in the deathland. We must see who is stronger."
"Indeed, should you kneel down and speak honorifics, or should I be your younger brother? We have to fight to a conclusion."
Chu Xiuyan winked at him, his tone revealing a nonchalant challenge: "But I don't need a father, nor do I need a younger brother. So I will personally deliver your death trap - a death trap, this? Will be a death trap. This? sentence seems a little familiar, right, Shen? Du?"
The shadow snorted coldly and raised his hand to summon those screens. His mood, which was not good to begin with, completely sank when he saw the many humans still living in every corner of the kingdom.
"Damn ants, how dare you pollute my eyes..."
He then casually released a giant monster, causing chaos in the kingdom.
Then it disappeared from the spot, and the blood-colored sand began to shrink little by little, dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The space in his vision seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. The cracks were getting bigger and bigger. Chu Xiuyan dodged to the side, avoiding a sharp blade, and the next second, the entire space was completely shattered.
In the dark red space fragments that were dissipating, he saw the starry night sky, countless black threads falling from the sky, the giant monster that was wreaking havoc inside the kingdom, and the figures that were attacking the monster one after another.
Compared with the monster's huge body, the figures of the counterattack group were so small and humble, just like ants.
The moment this thought casually came to mind, Chu Xiuyan suddenly saw the black threads covering the sky forming a huge net, which attacked the huge monster from all directions, swallowing it up bit by bit like a blunt knife cutting meat.
One minute, two minutes, or more than ten minutes?
Chu Xiuyan didn't count the time, but in his vision, the monster with the head that seemed to be able to destroy everything was completely worn away by the black net.
Then there was a loud collapse, and countless grains of sand scattered violently in the sky, fluttering down like a rainstorm.
"Cloud Flame!"
Chu Xiuyan remembered this after a while? Was it calling his name? He retracted his gaze from the distance and looked at the person in front of him who was heading towards him? Zhang Chun and Zai Zhe, who were running over, seemed to be injured. One had blood on his arm, and the other's clothes on his chest were almost stained red with blood.
Chu Xiuyan glanced back. Silver hair? The chief priest was walking towards a space crack. He seemed to notice his sight, turned his head and put his finger in front of his lips, revealing a strange arc, as if he had made some promise, and then stepped into the crack without looking back and disappeared.
The next second, a warm hug came, and Zai Zhe said excitedly: "Oh my God, Yunyan, what did you do? You actually made the Desert God? Escape! That's amazing! Tell me how you did it!"
Zhang Chun coughed twice two steps behind, "Zai Zhe, let go first... Yun Yan, is there something wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Chu Xiuyan blinked slowly, his tone as cheerful as ever, "No! I beat that rubbish god away with just two blows! How's that? Super awesome, right?"
Zai Zhe responded: "Super awesome——"
Chu Xiuyan: "Right, right!"
He seemed to sense the sight, and he turned his eyes slightly, focusing on Zhang Chun who suddenly approached, and the smile on his face faded a little.
strangeness……
Why did he lie to these people?
