From the end of the world

Chapter 480 The Battle of the Five Impermanents 2
I am no match for the Lord of Taoyuan Village, but in the current situation, it is better for me to withstand the Lord of Taoyuan Village's attack first.

According to my judgment, the power level of Huang Quan, the Great Impermanence of Doomsday, is comparable to that of Mingzhuo, which means that it is similar to that of me who uses the Slag Straight Sword.

Taoyuan Village Lord and Liu Shuying are about the same level. Although Liu Shuying said before the operation that he would have to rely on secret weapons to compete with Taoyuan Village Lord, now it seems that it might be just a lie. According to the intelligence, he is Da Wuchang who has only been in the industry for a few years, but he may have the hard power comparable to Taoyuan Village Lord and Xuanming.

Or has he already used a secret weapon, but I just didn't see it? Considering that he used the power that looked like gray mist, maybe he hid the fragment of the divine seal inside his body like Ying Lingyun and Dr. Silver Mask, and now he is using the power of the fragment of the divine seal.

No matter where the power comes from, power is power, and this is real. So the correct method should be for me, who is relatively "durable", to entangle the Taoyuan Township Lord, during which time Liu Shuying quickly takes care of Huang Quan, and then we can deal with Taoyuan Township Lord at the same time.

It’s a pity that it’s not just Liu Shuying and I who are calculating the situation. Taoyuan Village Master and Huang Quan are also not easy to deal with.

Just as if he had analyzed the situation the same way as me and deliberately exerted force in the opposite direction, the Taoyuan Township Lord directly transformed into a turquoise lightning and rushed towards this side. The target was not me, but Willow Shadow.

How fast is lightning? Some people may answer that it is the speed of light, but that is the speed of light emitted by lightning. Although the speed of lightning itself is also extremely fast, it is still much slower than the speed of light. The speed of the conduction of human nerve electronic signals is also much slower than many people think. In our dimension, even the speed of electric shock cannot be faster than our consciousness and actions.

However, what Taoyuan Village Lord showed was not the speed of lightning on a physical level, but rather the abstract concept of "the speed of lightning". By the time he reacted, the green lightning he had transformed into had already hit the willow shadow, pushing it all the way to the horizon.

The Taoyuan village chief's swiftness destroyed our optimal solution to the current situation, and the operation could not be carried out from the beginning.

Huang Quan's attack followed closely behind. His yellow-black magic power turned into a huge mouth that could swallow a tall building whole, and attacked me again. I had no choice but to face Huang Quan, releasing a large amount of flames from the slag straight sword, and fighting him with all my strength.

It really went against my wishes. One of the purposes of my action this time was to observe the true identity of the Taoyuan Township Lord and the background of Liu Shuying. Now those two people have moved to the battlefield, and Huang Quan has taken their place.

Although from another perspective it might be a pleasant surprise, Huang Quan, the doomsday god, has many secrets that I want to know, but he may not leak the information I want to know.

The noise we made in the battle was so loud that even outside the border, it would have attracted the attention of the distant Luoshan headquarters. However, since Huangquan and Taoyuan Township Lord responded to our surprise attack as if they had foreseen it, they may have made corresponding preparations, such as using some means to prevent the noise of the battle here from being known to Luoshan headquarters in the first place. It is best not to expect other Luoshan Great Impermanence to come to support us.

Combined with the previous intelligence from the Great Perfection Wuchang, since the Taoyuan Township Lord can be active in this area, it means that this is indeed the key network node of "Xiaowaiyuan". The damage we have caused now is likely to have a significant negative impact on the progress of the "Xiaowaiyuan" plan. Perhaps the Taoyuan Township Lord is accepting this price before making the counterattack.

I don't know when, the Heart Seed that I captured before has disappeared. It is likely that the Taoyuan Township Lord took it back when I wasn't paying attention. After all, it was so close to the Taoyuan Township Lord, and I didn't expect that I could control it all the time.

What I care more about is why Taoyuan Village Lord and Huang Quan were able to detect the sudden attack of Liu Shuying and me in advance.

"After the man who called himself the 'Third Apostle of the Void Realm' attacked the Luoshan branch base, you showed up at the Taoyuan Township headquarters so quickly... Is that Apostle of the Void Realm your collaborator?"

While fighting at high speed, Huang Quan's eyes seemed to be flashing with calculations, "In order to prevent the Taoyuan Township Lord from predicting that you are going to attack this place, you found a strong man other than Luoshan Da Wuchang to attack and interrogate the fake Dacheng level who stayed in the Luoshan branch base?

"But why didn't the Void Realm Apostle come with you to raid this place? Is it because he only agreed to help you attack that branch base? ... No, if there were three Great Impermanences targeting the Taoyuan Township Lord at the same time, he would have sensed it in advance based on his intuition...

"Could it be that the Void Realm Apostle is one of you two? Do you have the ability to perfectly disguise the fluctuations of mana? Judging from the fact that both he and you have the power characteristic of 'high temperature', could it be that you are the third Void Realm Apostle?"

“——Yes.”

Anyway, there was no need to disguise myself at this point, and I couldn't keep up the disguise, so I just admitted it frankly and said, "It seems that you didn't realize that the location of this place had been exposed through the destruction of the branch base... Then what intelligence did you use to prepare for this surprise attack?"

"Based on? I don't need that kind of thing."

Huang Quan was quite straightforward and gave a direct reply, "I just knew that you would find this place in the near future and would launch an attack, so I told the Lord of Taoyuan about this in advance." It's not easy to make him believe me. Fortunately, although he is suspicious, he is also a man of great talent. He knows that I will not risk my reputation and joke about such things, so he really took the time to cooperate with me.

"I guess he was also prepared to guard against my backstabbing and revenge. If you hadn't come, I would have been the one to suffer."

Having said that, he didn't seem to be afraid of the Taoyuan Village Lord, and his tone was self-mocking.

I didn’t expect this answer: “…without any basis, you just made this prediction out of thin air?”

The weird thing is, I didn't think he was lying at all. I vaguely thought of an answer that might be the closest to the truth.

"It may be an exaggeration to say that there is no basis for this. Strictly speaking, there is a basis for this." Huang Quan said, "Because Ma has been by your side for a long time, that's all."

I finally figured it out. It seems that all the cover-up efforts Liu Shuying and I made before were in vain.

Yes, as long as Ma Zao is by my side, I will definitely be able to track down the location of the Taoyuan Township Lord. In the past, I was able to hack into the "Xiao Yuan" in one go through the "Preacher", and before that, I was able to directly get the location of the Taoyuan Township headquarters by raiding the Luoshan branch base. There was almost no lag along the way. I had helpers when I needed them, and clues when I needed them. It was so smooth sailing, all because of Ma Zao's "jinx" power at work in secret.

All of this was "luck" that guaranteed to drag me into the center of the dangerous vortex.

Because of this, I never doubted that I would lose my direction.

As a doomsday visitor who is familiar with Ma Zao, Huang Quan must know this.

Put yourself in his shoes. If I were Huang Quan, a person who was active in the dark stage and cooperated with Taoyuan Township, facing "Zhuang Cheng who has Ma Zao by his side", and heard that the other party had recently briefly invaded "Paradise"... How would I predict the other party's actions next?

Undoubtedly, the other party would definitely follow the clues at an incredible speed, and with a series of "luck" miraculously lock onto the location of the Taoyuan Township Lord, and walk all the way to this place. No matter how good the Taoyuan Township Lord is at hiding, it is useless. This is not a question that can be discussed with reason or logic, but a result that was set from the beginning.

All along, I have been relying on Ma Zao's "jinx" power to push forward my adventure. Maybe I relied on it too much, and unconsciously regarded it as my own "golden finger". I only felt that it was the power to help me realize my dreams, but I forgot that it was a double-edged sword.

Ma Zao is indeed my closest partner, but this power is not just anyone’s partner.

I never thought that there would be a day when the enemy would take advantage of this to defeat me.

Then, something even worse happened.

Another familiar wave of mana rushed from a distance towards the direction where Huang Quan and I were fighting. Its source was neither Willow Shadow nor the Taoyuan Village Lord, but a tall black power armor.

The dog, with an unstoppable cutting force wrapped around his body, joins the battle——

Liu Shuying said before that he relied on the power of the Heavenly Land to trap the Dog in another place. Although it is unknown how special the Heavenly Land is, even the Great Impermanence can be trapped, but all Heavenly Lands have one thing in common, that is, they must spread with the user as the center. Since Liu Shuying's body has already attacked the Taoyuan Township Lord, the power that trapped the Dog must have disappeared.

I don't know if he noticed the fighting here from afar, or if he just came to report the destruction of the branch base, or if this was also a plan made in advance by Huang Quan in anticipation of the attack from Liu Shuying and me... There is only one fact that appears before me now.

From now on, I have to fight two great impermanences at the same time.
