From the end of the world

Chapter 576 Fierce Battle

I was alone, and facing me were two powerful enemies, Huang Quan and the Great Demon Xuanwu. This composition was so familiar that for a moment, I seemed to have returned to the headquarters of the Tai Sui Army.

Strictly speaking, I wasn't really alone. I had Xiao Wan's help behind me. So this could be considered a fair two-on-two.

Whether it is Huang Quan or the great demon Xuanwu, they are the third opponents I have encountered. As the saying goes, "The first time is the best, the second is weaker, and the third is the worst." There is also a saying that "things never happen more than three times." If something is repeated for the third time, it should be over. I hope this is the last time I fight them. Will I die in their hands, or will they die in my hands? I must tell it clearly today.

It can be seen that I was actually ambushed by Huang Quan, and compared to this sinister character who planned the ambush, the momentum of the Great Demon Xuanwu is much more ferocious. The dragon monster carrying the dark blue pentagonal magic circle roared madly and rushed forward. Its speed reached one thousandth of the speed of light. The high-speed movement alone set off a storm that could easily destroy the city, stirring up a dark storm between heaven and earth.

I didn't choose to collide with it head-on, but took advantage of the blessing of the small bowl to increase my dodge rate, and easily avoided the collision and bite of the demon Xuanwu. Huang Quan condensed yellow and black magic power in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to move like the last battle.

"You can't understand why the Great Demon Xuanwu would appear here and join me in ambushing you? Actually, the matter is very simple." Huang Quan used words from a distance to shake my attention. "The Great Demon of Disaster is known for his love of hunting down strong men, and he has no interest in the Great Demon Xuanwu, who he has greatly restrained. Therefore, after severely injuring the Great Demon Xuanwu and making it lose its combat effectiveness, he threw its remains there, and then he probably chased you.

"After I was resurrected, I returned to the scene of the last battle and moved the remains of the Great Demon Black Tortoise to the vicinity of this Gospel Temple. The Great Demon Black Tortoise is not a fragile human, but a monster with super-fast regeneration ability. Even if it suffered extremely deep and severe injuries, it quickly recovered to its full state.

"It's just that I did something while it was weak, so it can only be confined to this area for the time being... like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt an extremely powerful binding force capturing my body.

It was like an extremely huge gravity, but it was different when you tasted it carefully. If you want to describe it in detail, it was like wrapping yourself in a very heavy, worn-out cotton-padded jacket in three layers on top of each other in winter, and then accidentally falling into a freezing cold lake. Since it was a worn-out cotton-padded jacket, it was not waterproof. The lake water quickly filled the jacket through the damaged holes inside and outside, turning it into extremely heavy shackles, dragging the owner to the dark and suffocating bottom of the lake.

What was waiting for him at the bottom of the lake was countless rotten mud, with piles of dry and white bones piled up in it, and he was about to become one of them.

Cold, stinging, heavy, suffocating, powerless, desperate...all kinds of negative effects that can be described and cannot be described are penetrating my body and mind, and even strangely permeating my thoughts. Even I can't help but have the thought of giving up and sinking to the bottom of the lake of despair forever, and the power of my mana is showing a downward trend.

This is Huang Quan’s death power.

However, this is not all magical power released from him, but more of the power released from the land where I live.

It is very likely that this is a formation hidden under the soil. The "Dushuo Mountain" developed by Huang Quan is also a technology that uses formations to penetrate the afterlife and the world of the living. That is why No. 7 wants me to pass it on to Yuchi for interpretation and restoration. This shows that Huang Quan himself is also a master of formations who has reached the pinnacle.

The area where Huangquan Gospel Temple is located is his home ground where he has been operating for a long time, so he would laugh at me for daring to attack here. This formation is probably not set up specifically for me, but a killing formation that he, a cunning and cautious human god, has set up here since a long time ago.

But it is impossible to strangle me with this method. The death power that bound me seemed to want to eat me to death, but in fact it could not take the last step. And as I suddenly burst out my own fire power, this binding force quickly dissolved like a sugar cube in boiling water.

If this death power fell on other great impermanence, it would be a different story. But when it fell on me, in the corona form where "existence itself is an attack", it would be like trying to tie up a burning chariot with a straw rope that is not resistant to burning.

At the same time, I once again spread a sea of ​​fire in the surrounding area, trying to dig up the land in this area three feet deep and melt and evaporate it all.

"--snort!"

Huang Quan raised his hands and grasped my shoulders tightly, as if he wanted to grab them from the air. The power of death once again bound me. The great demon Xuanwu was not to be outdone, and turned into a cannonball wrapped in black water and rushed towards me.

Unfortunately, burning the land didn't seem to be enough to destroy the formation he had hidden in this area. At the same time, although his death power couldn't work on me completely, it still made me feel constrained everywhere, causing my dodge rate to drop significantly.

I could no longer dodge the attacks of the god and the demon at the same time as I did in the last battle. Although the increase in my dodge rate from the blessing of the small bowl was not completely offset, I still inevitably felt a sense of difficulty.

"This is the result of your reckless risk, Zhuang Cheng." Huang Quan said, "The Great Demon of Disaster has a very strong 'attraction' power. Even if it is me, once it identifies me as its prey, I will not be able to escape its pursuit. I must fight to the death.

"And since you are here alone now, it means that you have killed the Great Demon of Disaster." "The reason why you were able to reverse the situation in the last battle was because of the intrusion of the Great Demon of Disaster. Otherwise, even if you could dodge the attacks of me and the Great Demon Xuanwu at the same time for a while, you would be exhausted to death by us sooner or later. And now that you are trapped in my home ground and there will be no additional forces intruding, what can you use to fight me?"

"This is our third duel. You may escape the first, but you can't escape the fifteenth. Your survival the previous two times was just luck. This time, you will die in my hands after all!"

"This is my line, Huang Quan," I said, "You are the one who is going to die."

"Are you still being stubborn?" Huang Quan sneered.

The great demon Xuanwu just attacked violently and continuously, and the black water cannon fired like a machine gun.

I am much stronger now than the last time I fought him. In terms of pure density, my second form is enough to rival the Great Demon Xuanwu, and my third form "Corona" is a step higher.

However, the disadvantage of attribute restraint is greater than this gap, and now I am still unable to directly defend against the direct attack of the Great Demon Xuanwu.

If I use the Eclipse Fire, the situation will be very different. Although my Eclipse Fire cannot restrain the Great Demon Black Tortoise, it can offset the attribute restraint and defeat the Great Demon Black Tortoise in a short time with the pure strength difference.

But if he did that, there was a high chance that he would not be able to kill Huang Quan. Don't be fooled by his arrogant look now, that was just acting. Once he saw that the situation was not good, he would put aside all his pride, forget all the big words he had said before, and run away without looking back.

In that case, should I ignore the great demon Xuanwu for now and concentrate all my firepower on Huang Quan?
That won't work. Even though I'm stronger than him, I still can't stop him from escaping with the interference of the Great Demon Xuanwu. The worst thing is that when he is sure that he can't even escape, he still has the final solution of suicide.

No matter how fast I kill him, can it be faster than him committing suicide?

Unless... I have a way to kill the Great Demon Xuanwu instantly with one blow, and when Huang Quan realizes that the situation is not right, I can try to use the power of my true spirit to kill him with one blow... Only in this way can I hope to reap the fruits of victory before he commits suicide.

Is it possible for me to do this? Killing Huang Quan with one strike is conceivable, but killing the Great Demon Black Tortoise is much more difficult. Using a video game analogy, the Great Demon Black Tortoise's attack and defense power are only at the normal level of the Great Impermanence, but its health is very high, and it also has a passive skill that restores a large amount of health every second.

No matter what, I absolutely cannot rashly reveal the trump card of the Solar Eclipse Fire, nor can I easily show Huang Quan the great progress I have made after fighting the Demon of Disaster.

I must come up with a solution as soon as possible, and it would be best if I didn't delay for even a second. Based on my understanding of Huang Quan, his preparations for this battle are likely to be far more than this.

Because in the past battles, I have broken his predictions several times. Even if he is sure of victory now, he is probably thinking in his mind, "Will Zhuang Cheng come up with a countermeasure to reverse the situation again?" A cautious and cunning guy like him will definitely think so.

Therefore, it is very likely that after confirming my invasion, he had already secretly and urgently summoned other people and gods from the Gospel Temple.

Asking other gods to help him would definitely make him owe them a huge favor, but since it was a matter of life and death, he would not be stingy. And considering the chaotic time in the afterlife, and the fact that the gods and humans in the Gospel House did not seem to live next to each other and often interacted with each other, there would probably be some misalignment between their times. Just like two old mechanical watches that had not been synchronized for a long time, the time would be more or less misaligned, and the help would not arrive in an instant, as evidenced by the current situation.

I must keep this fight within five minutes... no, within three minutes at most. I can sense that this is the longest fighting time I am allowed.

"It's a last-ditch effort." Huang Quan continued to try to crush my morale. "This battle is like this, and so is your stance. You clearly knew our plan, but you chose to stand on the same side as the Tai Sui Army. Do you really think you have a chance to become an enemy of me and the Gospel Academy?

"Even if you can miraculously survive this battle, what can you do? Gospel Academy and Luo Shan of the living world are originally one family. When we all move to the living world, we will naturally merge with Luo Shan. By then, all the Great Impermanence will agree with the Gospel Academy's plan, and even Fa Zheng may join us.

"No one can help you. What awaits you is only a future of destruction."

"——Are you from the same family as Luo Shan?" I deliberately used a nonchalant tone. "Come to think of it this way, there was someone who boasted to me before that Gospel House was the orthodox one of Luo Shan. That was a nice thought. In the past, you generally took the Will of Naraku as the central totem, but now Gospel House worships something of unknown origin like the Gospel of Naraku. Do you really think you are still the same as Luo Shan?"
