Chapter 382 - 272: No Sincerity, No Need to Talk (Part 2)
They had the advantage in both top-tier combat power and numbers, yet these people from the Mortal World dared to make the first move.
’Right. They’re just mortals, frogs in a well with limited experience. It’s only natural for them to think they can challenge the heavens with a little bit of power.’
"Well then, Mr. Hua, Dailina, since things have come to this, shall we join forces and eliminate this potential threat?"
Zeno said, looking at Hua Yuanhang and Dailina beside him.
"Sigh. Now that it’s come to this, there’s no better way. We’ll have to let our strength do the talking."
Hua Yuanhang sighed.
"How did you guys mess this up? I knew this would turn into a hassle. We had a deal, I’m only fighting one person. You guys can handle the rest. I’ll take the delicious-looking little lady."
Dailina looked completely jaded, showing no fighting spirit whatsoever. Still, she reluctantly took off her headphones and stuffed her comic book into her clothes.
"I’ll be the one to test this young man who’s been causing such a stir in the Mortal World."
Zeno’s gaze fell on Yi Beidou.
"I’ll take care of that man."
Hua Yuanhang looked toward Huang Tianhu.
"Then the rest of you can deal with that young man and the other skulking fellow," Zeno said to Cheng Zhihong and the other three.
Cheng Zhihong was reluctant to make an enemy of Yi Beidou, but under the circumstances, he had no other choice.
「The next moment.」
BOOM!
A terrifying aura erupted from Zeno’s body. A dazzling, cone-shaped golden light shot straight into the heavens, like a sharp spear piercing the sky.
The sigil Hua Yuanhang had placed in the sky was instantly pierced by the golden aura. The light spread over Zeno’s arms, coalescing into a substance like amber and forming two long, narrow spikes that looked like a pair of extremely sharp spears.
Yi Beidou’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel the violent tremors of the Life Magnetic Field within the man’s body. This high-frequency vibration was reorganizing the field, giving it greater killing power and penetration.
Zeno, codename: "Holy Spear Celestial General."
Meanwhile, Hua Yuanhang formed a hand seal. A brilliant light condensed behind him into the form of a Divine General, which then tossed the Treasure Seal it was holding into the air.
The Treasure Seal instantly fractured, multiplying into numerous seals that circled the Divine General. Each Treasure Seal had a different design, seemingly possessing a unique power.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Next was the girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen. She exhaled softly, and a stream of Crystal Balls emerged from her mouth, spinning around her body like a jeweled halo.
Zhou Qingchen’s eyes narrowed. She could sense that each Crystal Ball was condensed from an incredibly terrifying magnetic field.
Dailina, codename: "Crystal Witch."
For a moment, the tension between the two sides was palpable, ready to snap.
"Hah!"
With a low cry, Holy Spear Celestial General Zeno was the first to break the standoff, launching an attack on Yi Beidou.
In an instant, the very air seemed to be split apart by a piercing intent. Zeno appeared to ignore air resistance to some degree, allowing him to reach an incredible speed.
FWOOM!
At the same time, the Demon Flame around Yi Beidou erupted, surging violently toward Zeno.
However...
SHIIIIINK!
The Demon Flame was torn apart by the piercing intent surrounding Zeno, unable to even get close to the area enveloped by his magnetic field.
The piercing power generated by his high-frequency, oscillating Life Magnetic Field allowed Zeno to cut through any obstacle and shatter any influence!
The Fruit Position he had inherited was one of pure slaughter. For him, the best defense was a good offense!
A Celestial General’s strength was equivalent to that of an Ancient One; they were not to be taken lightly!
His fists were like spear thrusts!
Zeno thrust a single arm toward Yi Beidou, and the golden light struck like a long spear!
Yi Beidou’s eyes narrowed. Channeling his power, he met the incoming fist with his palm.
BOOM!
Their flesh collided, sending shockwaves blasting outward. A horrifying scene unfolded: Zeno was completely unscathed, but the golden light pierced straight through Yi Beidou’s palm. The golden spear’s momentum didn’t stop there; it went on to puncture his right shoulder as well.
SQUELCH!
Zeno was unharmed, but where the golden spear had pierced Yi Beidou, flesh suddenly burst open and blood gushed out. It was no different from being run through by a real spear.
This same scene had played out not long ago during his fight with Zhou Qingchen.
Holy Spear Power. An ability renowned purely for its offensive strength.
Seeing Yi Beidou injured after a single blow, a faint, mocking smile touched Zeno’s lips.
’Is that all he has?’
’This isn’t even my strongest technique.’
’I heard he killed an Ancient One. Was it just a rumor, or did he get lucky?’
"Hah!"
Just then, Yi Beidou let out a sharp cry and unleashed a secondary burst of power, forcing the two apart in an instant.
"So it’s this kind of technique again?"
Yi Beidou glanced at the wound on his palm, his eyes as serene as a still well.
The next moment, Zeno’s pupils contracted slightly.
He saw the torn flesh on Yi Beidou’s palm continuously knitting itself back together, as if tendrils of flesh were sprouting to rapidly repair the damage.
At this rate, the injury would be completely healed in less than five or six breaths.
’This level of regeneration?’
’An Immortal Forbidden Technique? And it looks like he’s completely mastered it, able to use it so casually?!’
"In that case, it might be worth paying a small price to have some real fun with you."
Yi Beidou said, his gaze calm.
VMMMM!
One of the Tribulation Stars floating behind him suddenly flew out and slammed into his body.
Tribulation Stars were difficult to condense, so Yi Beidou wouldn’t have used one so readily, but the situation was different now.
He had accumulated more and more Tribulation Stars over time. Besides, with the great battles that were sure to erupt in the Mediterranean Region soon, there would be no shortage of Tribulation Qi. Using one to "play" with his opponent was no great loss.
The moment the Tribulation Star slammed into Yi Beidou’s body...
BOOM!
The Demon Flame erupted skyward like a volcanic explosion, forming a piercing cone that also displayed a terrifying sharpness.
The golden light that had invaded the space around Yi Beidou instantly receded.
But that wasn’t all.
VMMMM! VMMMM!
In his Tribulation Star Possession state, all of Yi Beidou’s vital attributes were greatly enhanced. His Celestial Demon Dissolution, originally at the Fourth Layer of Reverse Chaos, surged even higher.
Reverse Chaos... Sixth Layer!
Tendrils of Demon Flame wrapped toward Zeno like tentacles, even suppressing the golden light slightly.
’This is...’
Zeno’s expression changed instantly.
As Zeno moved against Yi Beidou, the other battles erupted simultaneously.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
Dailina pointed, and a volley of Crystal Balls shot toward Zhou Qingchen.
’An attack method similar to the Flying Sword Technique?’
Zhou Qingchen’s eyes narrowed, and she used her superior speed to easily dodge the Crystal Ball assault.
However, just as the Crystal Balls neared her, they abruptly froze in mid-air and began to spin rapidly.
Then...
BOOM!
Terrifying magnetic fields erupted from the Crystal Balls. The fluctuations spread out in rings, enveloping Zhou Qingchen.
Six Crystal Balls in total, creating the stacked effect of six terrifying magnetic fields.
The effect of these Crystal Balls was like a series of black hole-like vortexes forming in the Void, generating an immense gravitational pull. Even Zhou Qingchen’s Life Magnetic Field, which was as solid as steel, was being distorted, causing her speed to drop and her movements to falter.
"Little lady, I don’t want to fight. Just stay put in my ’Siphon Array’ for a little while, okay?"
"Don’t try to fight it. The more you struggle, the deeper you’ll sink. You know how quicksand works, right?"
Dailina said with a giggle. The Crystal Balls were condensed magnetic fields that could move according to her will, constantly maintaining their effect on her opponent.
Being inside was like being trapped in a mire; the more one struggled and released their Life Magnetic Field, the stronger the pull became, making it even harder to escape.
She just needed to keep her opponent occupied. She couldn’t be bothered with anything else.
However, in the next moment, her expression changed abruptly.
The light of the Jade Sword suddenly shot from Zhou Qingchen’s fingertip. With a single sweep, the light extended for dozens of meters, not only resisting the pull of the Siphon Array but also slashing toward Dailina’s body at extreme speed.
VMMMM!
The two Crystal Balls she wore as earrings began to spin, and an invisible magnetic field instantly formed around her, managing to block the slash of the Jade Sword.
At the same time, however, the light from the two Crystal Balls on her earrings seemed to dim slightly.
"Quicksand? Then I’ll just have to cut the quicksand apart too!"
Zhou Qingchen’s voice was frigid. Using her Jinghong Sword to slice through the gravitational field, she instantly broke through the Array’s encirclement at incredible speed.
’Do they really think I’m just some upstart junior?’ She would make these people pay the price for underestimating her!
