Chapter 112: Triple Star of Disaster
Shax looked away from the scope and scratched his head. Normally, a sniper wouldn't let his eyes stray from his target, but when the target became one with something else, it was a different story.
Moreover, he sincerely felt that the current scene was terrible and that he might become stupid if he watched it too much.
He gulped down a glass of iced milk and returned to his sniper scope, his vision shifting back and forth between the three being pursued. Wu He's face was flushed, the blonde girl was yelling like she was on a picnic, and the young intruder kept rubbing his head, fearing he might be losing his hair.
...Where did these idiots come from?
That Niying's lack of strength was understandable, and the inexperienced Canxin being frightened was understandable, but Wu He, who hid his own incompetence to the point of being completely idiotic, was truly a complete idiot. It seemed these individuals lacked any experience battling the Supreme Path. Their emotions were out of control, their actions were absurd, and they were completely driven by the turbid tears. If the Canxin ancestors had seen this, they would have been furious.
But that wasn't right. Shaxx sensed a sense of dissonance. He had some familiarity with the name Kotoki; the girl was likely from a prominent family. The Zanxin had always been enemies of the Spiral Tower, so to suggest that a Zanxin from a prominent family lacked experience against the Scourge was absurd.
Other psychic attacks?
He thought of that strange-looking eyeball, clearly there on the battlefield yet hard to notice. Shax loaded a new bullet and sent a message to Wu He, "Watch out for the silver eye..."
"Don't talk, Shax!" Wu He's voice was panicked. "If you get involved, you'll go bald too!"
Okay, totally useless.
Shax, with no hope in his employer, decided to take matters into his own hands. He was about to pull the trigger when he paused. A completely new creature burst into view, startling even the most experienced sniper.
“…………What is this?”
·
Halfway across the city, a passionate battlefield unfolded on the ice and snow. The three, arguing, continued to run. Wu He was desperate to escape the mess, while Qing Ye still hadn't figured out the situation. Ji Huaisu didn't dare use Dust Breaker in the city. He wanted to stop the giant ball, but lacked the crucial power. The Turbid Tears, already boasting a strong defense, were now even more powerful after being wrapped in the giant egg. Not only was Ji Huaisu's light dust attack, but even Qing Ye's shadow shuriken were powerless.
Naturally, everyone would think of a close combat to decide the outcome, but the problem is... who would dare to stop and wrestle with this thing? If you accidentally make a mistake, you will definitely be the next one to be sucked into the bald vortex!
【Bald, bald, bald, bald, bald, bald, bald, bald, bald, bald...】
Twisted words appeared on the ice puck, like the resentment of greasy middle-aged men. The ice man, immobilized within the puck, wailed, his voice as miserable and hopeless as it could be: "One day... you... will be like me!"
"The atmosphere is already bad enough, please be quiet first!" Qingye cried.
[He will go bald, and you won't be able to escape!]
Ji Huaisu raised his middle finger vigorously: "Why does it seem like this bastard is having a lot of fun!"
"I told you to kill that egg first!" Wu He roared.
"You didn't even say you were just running! Can't the great Seismic Point 3 take some responsibility?"
"Huh?! I'm already being conscientious enough to stop him. Whoever wants to wade into this muddy water can do so!"
Time flew by during the argument, and Ji Huaisu and Qingye grew anxious. The civilian evacuation zone was almost complete. In ten seconds, the bald monster would burst into the residential area, and there would be real casualties. But they were at a loss, and the strongest particle 3 on the scene was unwilling to take on such a thankless task.
Should he go all out? Cooperate with others? Or rely on Vander's hypnosis? The two young women each had their own thoughts, yet at the same moment, they saw new hope. It was the man in green who had emerged from the snowstorm, the killer they could always rely on!
His face was still as slender and shiny as before, his eyes still as three-dimensional and prominent. Amidst the distorted expressions of the crowd, that exceptionally tall figure stood out, roaring with determination:
"--eel!"
"What are you doing?!!"
Yes, the warrior facing the bald man was none other than... Chu Hengkong, wearing an eel mask! He gathered all his strength and launched a single palm strike, striking the ice puck with overwhelming force. This perfectly executed palm strike neutralized the puck's thrust, sending Chu Hengkong's feet burying deep into the ground. Undeterred by the turbid current's chill, he single-handedly withstood the puck's attack.
If he wasn't wearing the eel mask, his back would look as majestic as a hero!
Chu Hengkong looked at the ice ball carefully, not forgetting to raise his tentacles to tell everyone that he was fine: "Eel."
"Can you please type something? We don't understand eel language."
Finder emerged from the snow. "From what I know about him, these two calls are to tell everyone not to be afraid and that you won't become bald if you get close to the Turbid Tears."
"Then what on earth is he wearing that hood for?" Qing Ye's eyes widened.
"Probably to prevent baldness," said Vander.
"You say you won't go bald, but you don't even believe it yourself!"
The truth was naturally different from Fan De's nonsense. Chu Hengkong wasn't afraid of the ice ball, but the dome and the iceman were entangled together, and the ice contained the power of the Turbid Tears. A rash move would trigger a counterattack from the Turbid Tears, and would not only injure himself but also easily cause casualties. This brawl wasn't a dead end yet, so there was no need for a bloody resolution. And he happened to have a harmless method at hand, one that wouldn't hurt anyone.
——Just eat all the ice!
Chu Hengkong's willpower gathered in his right hand, forming a fiery red gauntlet. He pressed his fingers together, piercing the ice like needles. The touch of his fingers triggered a fierce counterattack. The water element within the ice gauntlet formed into countless fine, sharp teeth, like countless tiny piranhas swarming towards him. But the icy teeth biting down on his knuckles were shattered. The willpower flowing through the fiery red gauntlet transformed the enemy's attack into a powerful force to defeat him.
The secret teaching of the Zhengxuan Palace, the Zhengxuan Gangqi Armor. This secret teaching is based on immobility and is the pinnacle of defense. Chu Hengkong improved it with reference to the reflective armor of the Immortal Machine, and now it even displays a defense far exceeding that of a particle 2.
The finger pierced the surface of the ice armor, causing a flaw in the defense. Cracks appeared on the ice shell as the force burst open. Chu Hengkong tilted the slender eel head back and then smashed it down with a headbutt!
"eel!"
The eel's head flashed a barrage of sharp teeth, and ice and snow quickly vanished between them. The eel, burrowing through the cracks in the ice like a drill bit drilling into the ground, devoured everything from frost and snow to ice crystals. Within three seconds, the giant bald-headed ice egg was reduced to a misshapen piece of cheese. The giant egg was the first to escape, tumbling outwards with a throbbing, bouncy tumble.
【Thank you Hengkong~】
Another inmate, already in a precarious state of mind, wasn't so friendly. Having escaped, Sai Silun lunged forward like a wild dog, his gaze directed at Chu Hengkong, who was standing nearby. "You insulted me! I..."
"eel."
The eel-head swung its head with all its might, using the force of its thunder whip to whip the turbid tears away. Chu Hengkong flicked his wrist, ready to capture the ice man, but was forced to stop midway.
The gray fog reappeared, far thicker than before. This time, emerging from the mist were no longer the previously dazed humanoids, but creatures with a clear fighting spirit. Its outline was slightly clearer than the humanoids', and the lines of its shoulder armor and helmet could be vaguely discerned.
It stood with its back to Sethron, blocking the way between the two men. The figure's gaze was focused on the eel's head, and Chu Hengkong suddenly felt a chill far greater than his tears.
That was murderous intent, deep and piercing. There was no possibility of communication, no room for maneuver. This thing had appeared specifically to kill him. It appeared here for the sole purpose of killing the enemy!
"Akong, hurry! It's Chenpo!"
In Ji Huaisu's field of vision, the attack had already begun. A new knight, clad in dark blue heavy armor, had emerged, his aura far surpassing that of his peers. He thrust his shadow blade into the light shield in his hand. That was Chen Po's opening move; once the sword and shield intersected, the most powerful blow was about to unleash. With the knight's power, at least half the city would be razed to the ground.
At the same time, the Iceman was also expanding behind him. The lingering Tear was about to burst out. This time, without the help of the Dome to stop it, it would also be a crisis for the entire city. But Chu Hengkong was the only one who had the power to stop it. He only had one chance to make a move!
Chu Hengkong leaned forward, his arm lowered. A long sword slipped from his sleeve, its silver tentacles instantly wrapping around the hilt. He had complete faith in his partner's judgment, so he immediately reversed his course. In a split second, faster than thought, the silver blade flashed like lightning. Zong Yiwenzi's unrestrained strike slashed forth without reservation, the blade's light slicing through the knight's shadow, slicing through the ice crystals blocking the city, extending all the way to the buildings behind the knight.
A diagonal cut ran through the building, and two-thirds of the building tilted and slid down!
The long sword returned to its sheath, the hilt clashing with a resounding sound. Sethron, in mid-air, had expanded to its fullest extent, the bag of elemental power poised to burst in the next second. However, just as Chu Hengkong unleashed his sword, another explosion ripped through the air. A circular hole appeared in the building that had collapsed from the slashing blow. A bullet pierced through several buildings, shattering Sethron's elemental form with unerring precision just before the explosion!
The Sephiroth 3 Turbid Tears, renowned for their powerful defense and immense vitality, instantly transformed into crystalline dust, shattering the frost covering the city blocks along with it.
Halfway across the city, Shax lowered his sniper rifle.
"It's over, retreat."
At the same moment, Chu Hengkong made the same decision. He wrapped his tentacles around Ji Huaisu and dashed off without a word. Alerted, Qingye sought another direction to evacuate, but Wu He remained, still unsure of their actions.
He heard strange noises coming from underground, like the screams of thousands of undead spirits. Wu He's face changed, and he quickly left the battlefield and found a tall building to climb.
The streets and alleys were shrouded in gray, stretching from their eastern harbor to the northern high-rise buildings that served as their base. A fog enveloped the entire Golden Leaf City, and formless monsters emerged from the mist, stalking every inch of this tiny island.
In just a few breaths, this place became the domain of gray fog. It was everywhere, penetrating every pore, marching proudly through the squares and streets like a silent yet grand parade.
It has been serialized for a long time. A few days ago, an old book friend said that he didn’t know that we had a group for this book. Ahhhhh.
So I repeat again, welcome everyone to come to the Miaomiao Squid Farm in Huilongcheng to chat, 980497014
