64: Chapter 64: The Crimson Eye (Please Vote for Recommendation)
Gu Panxi casually tossed Ge Du’s head aside, her diamond-like eyes focusing on Mr.
Li, as she stepped forward with her right leg, positioning her shield in front of her, and a pair of wings unfolded behind her.
Mr.
Li’s eyes widened, flesh writhing on his body, and two more blade arms grew out, four huge mantis blades arrayed side by side in front of his chest in readiness. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
He had been chased by Gu Panxi before, so he knew how terrifying this woman was.
Gu Panxi was also a superpower user specializing in combat, and much stronger than Mr.
Li!
After both sides were ready, Gu Panxi’s body shone brightly with white light, a cold glint flashing across the corner of her eye.
She surged forward with the power of her right leg, charging towards Mr.
Li like a cannonball.
This was the Holy Shield Collision!
Mr.
Li slashed at Gu Panxi with his four blades, but all four were blocked and deflected by the shield in front of her.
The Black Light Mantis’s massive body was directly knocked down by Gu Panxi’s shield!
Using Mr.
Li’s body to stop her momentum, Gu Panxi then withdrew her shield, and her right-hand longsword slashed twice consecutively.
After the dazzling sword qi flashed by, both newly grown blade arms fell to the ground!
In just one round, Mr.
Li found himself at an absolute disadvantage!
While Mr.
Li was getting thrashed by Gu Panxi, on the other side, Lin Zheyuan, now without Mr.
Li’s interference, was making even more successful strides in his destruction efforts.
After several streaks of blue light, the structure of the Ferris wheel was compromised, and the entire thing collapsed.
Lin Zheyuan and Gu Panxi both let out a sigh of relief—the matter was settled.
But immediately, their expressions grew even graver; although the Ferris wheel had fallen, the Summoning Array still floated in mid-air!
Mr.
Li laughed maniacally, a large quantity of dark green blood splattering as he did so.
“Did you really think I would place the key spot of the ritual in such an obvious place?”
“This was merely bait to attract you, to buy time.
Now everything is set in stone; you can’t change a thing.”
“Then I’ll kill you first!”
Gu Panxi yelled in fury, her crystal white longsword pointing at Mr.
Li.
Mr.
Li staggered back a few steps; after the fight with Lin Zheyuan and a series of combination moves from Gu Panxi, he was now at the end of his strength.
“Where exactly is the Energy Core?” Lin Zheyuan, back in human form, demanded.
“Do you really think I would tell you?
And even if you find it, it would be useless.
I have surrounded the Energy Core with strong defensive traps.
Even for powerhouses like us, it would take some time to break through.”
“And most importantly, like this Array, the Energy Core seems to be in this world, but you actually cannot touch it at all.
You have already lost.”
Mr.
Li stated manically, space above his head unraveling, as a powerful presence from the Inner World started to come through the channel he had opened.
“We may have already lost, but you won’t live to enjoy the fruits of victory,” Gu Panxi declared, her wings spreading out as she transformed into a white comet, rushing towards Mr.
Li.
Mr.
Li didn’t even try to dodge; he just calmly watched Gu Panxi approaching.
Before she could reach him, a red energy column descended from the sky, enveloping Mr.
Li.
Gu Panxi was repelled by this energy column.
Lin Zheyuan looked up to see a fissure in space, with red energy pouring down from that gap.
A giant finger, several meters thick, was fiddling with the rift above, creating an opening.
Then, a blood-red eye pressed against the gap, curiously peering into the real world!
Mr.
Li, situated at the center of the energy column, knelt on the ground, arms spread wide, enduring the energy from another world, and his previously sustained injuries rapidly healed.
“Praise my Lord, thank you for the Divine Envoy’s gift.
I humbly beseech the messenger to descend here and purify this tainted world.”
As the energy infused him, Mr.
Li’s eyes turned blood-red, and his body irregularly swelled, while the black light mantis was covered in red pustules which seemed to squirm, as if something wanted to break free.
That eye overlooked the entire amusement park; within it, one could see emotions such as slaughter, brutality, and madness, but not a single positive sentiment.
Even the ordinary people hiding everywhere could feel that sensation of utter despair, feeling incredibly lowly in that instant, like insects on the ground.
The ordinary people close to the Ferris wheel also experienced bizarre transformations: tumors, buds of flesh, extra organs, wildly growing hair…
More than that, there was a mental breakdown!
“What do we do?” Gu Panxi alighted next to Lin Zheyuan and asked, tilting her head.
She wasn’t a shrewd person, so she needed Lin Zheyuan to decide.
“What can we do?
You can’t harm Mr.
Li, and we can’t sever the connection between the two worlds.
Once that thing from above descends, we won’t be able to handle it either, so it’s all over,” Lin Zheyuan said in despair.
Gu Panxi, in her angelic state, looked at that eye in the sky and also felt a hint of powerlessness.
“At least Catastrophe Level, such a level of monster invading reality will inevitably cause a tragic catastrophe.
It would be fine if there were a ‘True Self’ level superpower user nearby in Furong River City, but the problem is that there aren’t many of that level in the entire Capital District!”
The two looked at each other, both seeing the despair in each other’s eyes.
If they were to flee the protective shield now, they might stand a chance to survive, but that would mean leaving everyone else behind to die.
Suddenly, the red flow of energy weakened, and the spatial rift began to shrink as Mr.
Li, in the midst of transformation, paused in confusion.
“Impossible, the blood sacrifice of so many people, the energy can’t possibly be insufficient.
Could it be the energy core…”
Mr.
Li’s face showed an expression of disbelief.
He had arranged for the Tyrant Chicken Duo, quite capable yet with inconspicuous presence, to guard that spot precisely to avoid attracting attention.
With Mr.
Li drawing all the fire here, combined with the energy core’s inherent defense, it was impossible for it to be destroyed, unless there was a powerful being in Furong River City he didn’t know about, a hidden force!
…
Wen Wen stood beside the energy core, feeling the increasingly oppressive atmosphere from the sky, no longer hesitating, her right hand slowly moving toward the energy core.
Red streams of energy emerged from nowhere, striking upon the Catastrophe Gloves.
Each energy stream was potent enough to split metal and shatter jade, but Wen Wen didn’t feel the slightest pain.
However, due to these streams of energy, Wen Wen’s right hand was temporarily prevented from touching the energy core.
Every push forward by Wen Wen was met with greater repulsion force, but overall, she was still advancing.
Without the Catastrophe Gloves, she would likely turn to ash before ever reaching the energy core.
“Worthy of the Catastrophe Gloves’ interest, indeed extraordinary.
If it weren’t so dangerous outside, I could play with this all day,” Wen Wen complained as she grappled with the energy streams.
Suddenly, Wen Wen’s heart convulsed violently as if someone had seized it; that same presence from before appeared again!
And this time it felt different from the last, more intense, and much closer, almost within reach!
