Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

The Black King naturally noticed Su Xiao's abnormality. Just when he was about to end Su Xiao's life with a sword, the old charlatan ripped open his collar, revealing the hideous mouth on his chest that was sewn up with rough needle and thread.

Black lines crawled all over his skin like a centipede, rising and falling slightly with his breathing, as if he were some kind of imprisoned living thing.

"1 seconds!"

"That's enough. Leave the rest to us."

The stitching thread suddenly broke, and the big mouth on the chest suddenly tore open, revealing bottomless darkness.

The next second, the old charlatan disappeared from the spot, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

A pale arm stretched out from the big mouth and tightly clasped the Black King's left arm.

"Ken...Lahan?"

The Black King spoke, his voice had a metallic quality.

He paused slightly, as if recognizing this old friend.

"Long time no see, old friend." His voice was hoarse, and the big mouth on his chest opened and closed with his breathing. "I'm sorry, this time... I can't stand in front of you."

The old charlatan smiled, then his face darkened and he manipulated his arms to forcibly control the Black King.

At this moment - Su Xiao's blood beast was finally completed.

It’s more like “filling” rather than “accumulating energy”.

The Blood Beast did not require such a long preparation, but this time, it was forced to move by Su Xiao.

His blood was boiling and burning. Drop by drop, it was drawn out and turned into scarlet energy, and finally condensed into that ferocious beast.

Avoid the old charlatan? Impossible.

Then, there is only one answer - attack him too!

"Roar--!!"

The blood beast let out a deafening roar, and its huge body pounced out like a bloody meteor, heading straight for the two of them.

A blood-red storm swept across the entire space. The violent energy tore cracks into the ground, and the air was twisted as if it was boiling.

Under the impact of the violent explosion, the Black King's armor made a sharp cracking sound and the black metal flakes began to peel off.

He raised his left arm, trying to gather strength to fight back, but the old charlatan suddenly exerted force with his arm and tore his left arm off!

"Click——"

The sound of breaking metal was extremely harsh, and the Black King's left arm was completely torn off, and red and black liquid splashed out.

His body froze, and at that moment, the aftermath of the Blood Beast completely engulfed him.

"boom--!"

Smoke and dust rose up, and the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.

Su Xiao panted, his eyes fixed on the center of the explosion.

His body was trembling slightly due to blood overdraft, but the long sword in his hand was still tightly grasped.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing a devastated battlefield.

The black armor of the Black King fell to the ground in pieces, like rotten insect shells.

Not far away, the old charlatan, Kenlahan, was half-kneeling on the ground. The ferocious mouth on his chest was slowly closing, and the suture threads were wriggling like a living thing.

Thanks to Lin Yi's life chain that kept helping the old charlatan recover from his injuries, otherwise the old charlatan would have really died from Su Xiao's attack just now.

At this moment, the Black King raised the sword on the ground with his only remaining right arm armor, ready to kill Kenrahan who was kneeling on the ground.

At the moment when the Black King's sword was about to fall, Lin Yi appeared in front of the Black King.

clang--!
The black and white roses blocked the attack of the Black King. The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the battlefield, and the violent impact force made Lin Yi's arms numb.

Even though the Black King is at the end of his strength, his power is still far beyond what he can easily contend with.

At this moment, Lin Yi triggered the skill [Hit Invincibility].

【Attack Overlord】

Skill Effect: When the user receives 50% of the maximum HP damage, he will be in a 3-second hegemony period. During the hegemony period, his attack power is increased by 50%, and he is immune to knockback, floating, falling, and knocking, thus ensuring that his attack cannot be interrupted. However, he cannot be exempted from some forced grabs.

The moment he blocked the Black King's sword, Lin Yi's health instantly dropped below 50%, triggering this skill.

From the time Lin Yi acquired this skill until now, it has almost never been triggered. The reason is very simple. This skill is used to prevent instant kills.

With the help of his talent, his health is even stronger than that of a fifth-tier main tank. Ordinary attacks cannot reduce his health by more than half in one blow.

But the Black King is different. The Black King himself is a sixth-order big boss-level existence. Even if he is at the end of his strength, the power of his casual attack is still enough to be fatal!
Just when the Black King was about to kill the old charlatan together with Lin Yi, Su Xiao finally made his move.

"Pfft!"

Su Xiao's long sword accurately pierced through the chest of the Black King, and the blade came out from his back, bringing out a puff of dark liquid.

Dark blue smoke wrapped around the Dragon Slash, and he stabbed the Black King in the back with a knife. The tip of the knife passed through the crack in the armor. This knife was surprisingly easy and went straight through the Black King's chest.

The light in the Black King's eyes quickly dissipated, and a dark blue smoke poured out from the wound on his body and returned to the Dragon Slash.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that in the end it would be me, an old man, who would come to see you off."

The old charlatan gasped with difficulty, supported his knees with trembling hands, and stood up from the pool of blood little by little.

His cloudy eyes stared at the gradually disappearing Black King, with a mixture of complicated emotions in them.

Memories from hundreds of years ago came flooding back like a tide - at that time, the Black King was still an ignorant kid, but now he is already a legendary hunter famous throughout the continent.

Fate is such a fickle thing. Who could have thought that hundreds of years later, it would be this old guy who would be the one to see the other person off to his final resting place.

The old charlatan clearly remembered what he had said to the stubborn boy: "Little ghost, if you want to survive in this world, you must become more terrifying than death itself."

The Black King did it.

Not only did he become more terrifying than death, he even eventually became the embodiment of death.

When the old charlatan's gaze fell on the Black King, the disintegrating body suddenly trembled slightly.

The half-destroyed head slowly turned, and under the broken visor, two points of fire flickered.

The next second—

The two faint flames were like candles in the wind, swaying slightly for a moment and then completely extinguished.

The entire birth hall fell into deathly silence.

This battle can only be described as a tragic victory.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's buff and sufficient healing, I'm afraid everyone present would have to stay in this hall forever.

Crossing levels to challenge the ultimate BOSS is an act close to suicide.

The fact that all members were able to survive was enough to prove how strong Lin Yi and his companions were.

Lidya Su's eyelids trembled slightly, his legs softened, and his body staggered forward a few steps uncontrollably, almost falling to the ground.

A mouthful of dark red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His trembling hands reached for his abdomen and slowly pulled out a pitch-black spike - this was the Black King's final counterattack before his death.

After being hit by the black spike, Su Xiao went through soul, will and physical strength tests in succession. If he failed any of the tests, one third of his upper limit would be deducted.

Su Xiao passed both the soul and will tests, but failed the physical test, and was directly sucked of one third of his health by the black thorn.

Fortunately, with the help of the Chain of Life, Su Xiao's health was maintained at 40% at the time, otherwise he might have been killed by the Black King's dying counterattack.

But even if he survived by chance, Su Xiao, whose health value dropped to 6%, had already fallen into a near-death state. His vision was only a slit, and his whole body felt like it was filled with lead, unable to move.

"Fuck, I actually survived, is this true?"

Di Ya on the side crawled from the floor towards where Lin Yi was. The two ultimate moves she had just released in succession almost drained the last bit of energy in her body.

Di Ya was now like a hollow water bag. He didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. The fact that he didn't faint immediately was a sign of Di Ya's strong will.

The entire birth hall was filled with a strong smell of blood. Except for Veroni who was on guard outside, the four people in the hall were almost wiped out: Lin Yi still retained half of his combat power due to his amazing recovery ability, while the other three - Su Xiao, Di Ya and the old charlatan - all collapsed to the ground like rag dolls.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's skills that kept healing the three people, there would probably be three more corpses in the hall by now.

After confirming it was safe, Bubuwang ran out from the shadows.

The aftermath of the Black King's previous battle was too terrifying. With its small body, it would be crushed into meat paste if it was not careful. It was wise to hide.

Bubuwang jumped onto Su Xiao's body and injected the medicine into Su Xiao's veins.

This is a special recovery potion that it had prepared in advance, specifically for this kind of critical situation.

Lin Yi took out a bottle of "large bottle of vitality potion" from the world of Diablo from the storage space, raised his head and drank it all. The purple-red liquid flowed in his body, but the effect was greatly reduced.

This kind of recovery agent, which is considered a miracle drug below the third level, is no longer as effective as before for Lin Yi, who is now at the fifth level.

Di Ya took out a strange fruit that was emitting golden light and started to take a big bite of it.

As the fruit pulp entered his stomach, a faint green light of life began to radiate from his entire body, and his breath was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only the old charlatan was still slumped on the ground, smiling bitterly and shaking his head.

This guy had just killed all the residents of Dead Silence who were attacking from outside the city. Even if he had brought some recovery items with him, they were all consumed in the melee.

"Give."

After the injection of the medicine, Su Xiao regained some strength. He then took out a syringe and threw it at the old charlatan with a flick of his wrist.

"I am an old man and I am going to die. It would be a waste to use such a good thing."

The old charlatan took the syringe thrown by Su Xiao, a relieved smile appeared on his old face, and he was about to throw it back.

For him, the fall of the Black King has put an end to his lifelong pursuit. Rather than linger on, he would rather sleep in hell with his old friend.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished my work yet. It won't be too late to die after the fight is over."

Lin Yi's voice suddenly interrupted, shocking Su Xiao and Di Ya at the same time.

The fall of the Black King should have heralded the end of everything, so how could there still be a fight?
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Lin Yi realized that they had not triggered the hidden mission of [The Gods' Sorrow], so he shared the mission to the team channel.

Di Ya was dumbfounded after seeing this mission. The reason why she tried so hard this time was because she thought that the Black King was the final BOSS. But Lin Yi suddenly told her that there were three more BOSSes to fight. It would be strange if Di Ya was not stupid.

"Oh, it seems that it is not time for me to retire yet."

The old charlatan chuckled, imitated Su Xiao's movements, and pushed the syringe against the side of his neck.

The moment the medicine entered the body, the originally withered body suddenly burst out with a surge of vitality, and the sluggish aura rose steadily at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just as the old charlatan was recovering his strength, Lin Yi and the other two tacitly came together and lowered their voices to discuss the distribution of the spoils.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry to exchange items, but took out the two soul money jars that had exploded before, but he did not smash them directly.

Under Di Ya's dull gaze, Lin Yi took things out of the storage space one by one as if by magic.

First, he took out a figurine of the goddess of luck. The exquisite workmanship made even the folds of the goddess's sleeves visible. Then he moved out a rosewood altar table carved with auspicious cloud patterns, with a few small bronze bells hanging on the corners of the table.

As if he was performing some sacred ritual, he first spread the red silk embroidered with gold thread on the altar, and then solemnly placed the figurine on it.

The corner of Su Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, but Di Ya was completely petrified.

"What... are you doing?" Di Ya's voice was a little dry.

Without even raising his head, Lin Yi continued to carefully place fruits, cakes, and even a bottle of red wine that looked quite old on the altar.

His movements were very skillful and it was obviously not the first time he had done this.

"Pray to the gods." Lin Yi answered briefly, then lit three incense sticks and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner.

"." Di Ya's temples were throbbing. "Are you serious?"

Lin Yi raised his head and smiled meaningfully: "The favor of the goddess of luck is much more useful than you think."

After doing all this, Di Ya and Su Xiao felt a tremor in their hearts at the same time, as if some existence in the void was casting a gaze at them.

Di Ya's pupils shrank drastically, and he screamed inwardly: No way? Just setting up an altar table really attracted the goddess of luck? !

At this time, the goddess of luck hidden in the cracks of dimensions was prying open the cracks in space and looking around stealthily.

As a well-informed deity, she recognized the nature of the area under the feet of the three people at a glance.

Although it was just a projection area formed by the leakage of the power of "Root·Dead Silence City", the cursed aura that permeated it was not something that she, an auxiliary deity, dared to set foot in easily.

Lin Yi pulled out a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips and spicy strips like a magic trick, and placed them respectfully in the most conspicuous position on the altar.

Don’t ask why the gods like this kind of snack. After accidentally tasting it during one of their descents, this willful goddess completely fell in love with this snack. This is a secret that is not even recorded in the temple’s scriptures, and it was secretly told to Lin Yi by the goddess of fate.

As if he felt the gaze of the goddess of luck, Lin Yi smashed the two soul money jars directly in front of the altar.

[The hunter has opened the soul coin jar and obtained 24 soul coins. ]

[The hunter has opened the soul coin jar and obtained 25 soul coins. ]

"Is it effective?" Di Ya couldn't help but come up to ask after seeing Lin Yi's smile.

Lin Yi did not answer, but casually shared the system prompt to the team channel.

When those two lines of text came into view, Di Ya felt that his cognitive system was collapsing.

If Lin Yi could get the favor of the goddess of luck by offering some snacks, then what were her previous devout and almost humble efforts? Was it a shaman dance? Or was it a performance art that deceived herself?

Di Ya's expression gradually distorted. She recalled that in order to improve her luck, she danced blessing dances in the mission world, sacrificed rare materials, and even kowtowed three hundred times in a temple - but in the end, she got nothing.

And now——Lin Yi, this guy, just relies on a bag of spicy strips and potato chips???

"This is unreasonable!" Di Ya grabbed Lin Yi's collar, his eyes full of frustration, "Why can the goddess of luck bless you just by offering some snacks? I was -"

"——Because you are not sincere enough." Lin Yi calmly pried open her fingers, then slowly took out a bottle of iced fat house happy water from the storage space and placed it solemnly on the altar. "What the goddess of luck likes is a casual and true offering, not a utilitarian transaction."

Su Xiao watched silently from the side. Although there was still no expression on his face, if someone looked closely, they would find that his fingers holding the knife tightened slightly - obviously, the killer was not calm at the moment.

At this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the void.

【Ding! 】

[The temporary favor of the goddess of luck has taken effect! ]

[In the next 10 minutes, temporary luck value +5! ]

Di Ya: “…”

Lidya Su: “…”

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The moment he heard the prompt sound, the corners of Di Ya's mouth twitched slightly, while Su Xiao looked away expressionlessly, and they both fell silent.

A few seconds later, Su Xiao silently reached into the storage space, took out a soul coin jar and crushed it.

[The hunter has opened the soul coin jar and obtained 23 soul coins. ]

This is definitely an abnormal number.

According to Su Xiao's understanding of his "stable performance" luck, it would be considered a stroke of luck if he could open more than 10 coins.

And now this result has obviously exceeded the normal range. (End of this chapter)
