From the end of the world

Chapter 556: Battle of Humans, Gods, and Demons 1
Contrary to what the Tai Sui Army guide suspected, Huang Quan probably did not really master the technology to control the big demon.

If Huang Quan could do that, then he could now let the Great Demon Xuanwu cooperate with him and launch a more clever combination attack. To put it another way, even if his manipulation skills were not mature yet and he could only give the most basic and simple instructions to the Great Demon, he would not be so restricted as he is now.

The most he could do was to make the Great Demon Xuanwu ignore him.

Although it was a difficult situation of one against two, the one god and one demon did not play the advantage of one plus one being greater than two. Now they were completely two "strangers". Even if they were strangers, they could reach the most basic tacit understanding when they found that they had a common enemy. However, the demon Xuanwu did not have that sense of partnership at all.

If not, I would have been defeated in a very short time. But even with this luck, my current situation is still undoubtedly sliding towards defeat.

In fact, Huang Quan didn't really need to actively launch a zero-distance attack. He only needed to keep wandering around me to divert a considerable part of my attention. This made it difficult for me to concentrate on avoiding the attacks of the Great Demon Xuanwu. I knew very well that if I really thought that Huang Quan would not attack and focused all my attention on the Great Demon Xuanwu, I would immediately be hit head-on by Huang Quan.

However, I also cannot turn around and attack Huang Quan, because doing so would only give the great demon Xuanwu an opportunity to launch a fatal attack from behind.

It was impossible to retreat from the battlefield. Although I had no plan to escape for the time being, I made a simple deduction in my mind. If there was only one enemy, the Great Demon Xuanwu, I would have a 50% chance of retreating with my current mastery of the chaotic space-time. But now that the sinister Huang Quan was blocking my way, the probability of a successful escape was close to zero.

I couldn't advance or retreat, and what was even worse was that I could clearly see Huang Quan in the distance gathering a huge amount of magic power into his palm as he moved. He was actually leisurely accumulating his "ultimate move" and firmly locked onto this side with the intention of killing.

"The next blow will kill you." Huang Quan said calmly, "There are only three seconds left, Zhuang Cheng. If you have any last words, you can start saying them now. If you see Ma Zao in the future, I will take him to her for you."

The mental pressure of being on the verge of death finally made me no longer have time to fight back with words, and I could only think about how to survive in this desperate situation. One method after another emerged in my mind, and I rejected them all.

Ordinary cleverness can't find a way out in front of Huang Quan who is full of murderous intentions. The opponent is a veteran with much more experience than me. He has basically mastered my hand. Most of the tactics that can be thought of, he can also think of. If you play your cards rashly, you will fall into his mind. You must use moves that are beyond his experience.

Even if I could really do this, I could only survive for a few seconds. My current situation is so difficult.

Why did Huang Quan want to kill me so much? As I was in a desperate situation of life and death, racking my brains to find a way to survive, this question suddenly popped up in my mind like a bubble.

Since we are enemies, it seems natural that he wants to kill me. However, this logic is somewhat untenable at this stage. As the Wheel King of Luoshan Dawuchang, he has now defected to the Gospel Institute; and Mingzhuo, who was a student of Huangquan in the past, is suspected to have reached some potential connection with the Gospel Institute.

Luoshan Dawuchang is not an outright enemy of the Gospel Institute, but a possible ally. Except for Fazheng, the real ruler of the world, anyone can be won over. Gua Tianshi is like this, and I should also think so in the eyes of the Gospel Institute.

Although my stance and interpersonal relationships in Luoshan are based on politicalism, any cursory investigation will show that I am not a true politicalist. Even if Huang Quan feels that he may not be able to win me over to the Gospel Institute's camp, it is not too much to ask me a question as a matter of procedure, right?

But the reality is that he thought of me as an enemy from the beginning without thinking. When I was with Taoyuan Township Lord, it could be explained that Taoyuan Township Lord was determined to kill the descendant of Suzaku before Shan Liangyi swallowed him, and Huang Quan, as a collaborator, could only cooperate with Taoyuan Township Lord; but now that there is no outsider interference, he still wants to kill me without any explanation, which always feels a bit inconsistent.

Could it be that he simply didn't think that much? Or did he sign some kind of contract with the Taoyuan Township Lord that meant he had to kill me?

After all, why would Huang Quan support Taoyuan Township Lord’s “Paradise” plan?
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind like rain, and on the other hand, I also thought of some means to temporarily break the deadlock. Although this method would also put me in a dangerous situation, I had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

Over there, Huang Quan seemed to have finished charging his ultimate move. The Great Demon Xuanwu no longer used the black water cannon to attack from a distance, but instead used its huge dragon-like body to cross the middle distance in an instant, and the huge dragon head quickly bit towards me.

If I were bitten directly by this monster with its true body, my true spirit would surely be shattered into pieces along with my flesh, blood, and soul.

Almost at the same time, the yellow-black magic power compressed to the extreme burst out from Huang Quan's hands, turning into a snake head as huge as a mountain, opening its huge mouth and pouncing towards me from the other side.

"——It's over, Zhuang Cheng."

Huang Quan's voice entered my consciousness directly in the form of thoughts. Unlike all the previous long-range attacks, as Huang Quan's long-accumulated trick, this attack was enough to severely damage my true spirit, and it was not surprising that it had the effect of a one-hit kill.

Although I can dodge such a big move with my body skills, I will definitely be hit by the Great Demon Xuanwu after dodging it. Vice versa, if I concentrate on avoiding the latter's attack, I will be hit by Huang Quan's big move.

I can only use the method I just thought of.

Just when I was about to harden my heart and use an emergency move, at the critical moment, I felt an external force suddenly enter my body.

In an instant, I burst into unprecedented inspiration.

Yes, it was not "strength" but "inspiration". The situation in front of me, where I was surrounded by enemies from both sides, seemed to me to be an extremely difficult problem. The sudden inspiration was like a solution that came out of nowhere, and I instantly understood how I should break through the predicament.

As if I was walking on a tightrope and miraculously regained my balance, I moved in the air at high speed with amazing skills that even I found incredible, smoothly dodging the yellow-black magic power that turned into a huge snake's mouth, and then twisted my body and spun around at the moment when the big demon Xuanwu was about to hit me, narrowly missing the opponent.

This is not just a simple physical movement, but also uses a very advanced skill of space movement and causal manipulation. Even if it is not in this chaotic afterlife, but in the modern world where order runs normally, I can't reproduce the same level of body movement by my own strength.

I can even feel that the space-time environment around me is "accommodating" me at a high intensity, just like when a strong wind suddenly appears in the direction when I am running, making my body extremely relaxed and flexible, and easily running out results that cannot be achieved under normal conditions.

When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together...this sentence suddenly emerged in my mind.

"What!?"

Huang Quan's declaration of victory was ruthlessly overturned in an instant. He began to doubt the reality, just like a mortal general who saw the enemy special forces wading through the hail of bullets unscathed.

I was probably more shocked than the other person. But at the same time, I could more or less guess the truth behind this change. In order to avoid being discovered by the other person, I tried my best to keep a straight face.

At the same time, a voice entered my consciousness, and a familiar childish voice rang out in my heart: "Brother Zhuang Cheng... can you hear me?"

"Small bowl?"

I shouted in my mind and quickly sensed my surroundings, and soon I vaguely caught the smell of the small bowl.

Not only Xiaowan, I also sensed the presence of No.7. Just like No.7 wandered around the battlefield between me and the Great Demon Xuanwu last time, this time No.7 seemed to be wandering around our battlefield in secret, and brought Xiaowan with her. At this moment, they did not exist in normal time and space, but were lurking strangely in the depths of time and space, transformed into a form of existence that could not be captured by the naked eye and could not be expressed in normal language.

"It's us, Zhuang Cheng." Number 7's voice also rang in my heart, "... Sorry, I wanted to take Xiaowan to a safe place, but this time I was locked by the Great Demon Xuanwu again, so I can only stay in this battlefield for the time being."

"No need to apologize. Thank you for saving Xiaowan."

As I said that, I turned the conversation to the other side, "Xiao Wan, did you do what happened just now?"

"Yes, I have bestowed the power of blessing on Brother Zhuang Cheng, which can enhance your adaptability and understanding of the time and space of the afterlife, and greatly increase your efficiency in hitting and dodging... I shouldn't have done anything unnecessary, right?" asked Xiaowan's voice.
