From the end of the world

Chapter 72 VS Weirdos 3 (Fourth update, please subscribe!)

The opponent's sudden counterattack did not make Zhu Shi panic.

On the contrary, she seemed to have foreseen it, and ducked down to avoid the shadow hammer with her agile and fast movements, while turning her body to launch another slash.

The sweeping sword light seemed to turn into a silver round fan, cutting the opponent in half on the spot.

However, in front of the weirdo's incredible immortal body, beheading and waist cutting were all in vain. Even my initial attempt to make it explode from the inside had no effect, let alone this simple and quick fatal injury. Perhaps it was because of this immortal body that the weirdo had no intention of dodging or blocking the attacks he received.

As expected, the strange man inexplicably recovered. He didn't even look at Zhu Shi, but just charged at me.

His plan is clear at a glance, to kill me first, who has great firepower. The question is, what is the reason for his resurrection? If we really can't kill him, we may have to try to capture him alive. I don't know if his immortal body can resist the self-destruction mechanism of his monster.

I want to test his resurrection mechanism. Are there conditions and costs for his immortality? Does he only resurrect after taking fatal damage, or can he also repair ordinary injuries?
I pointed my palm in the direction of the monster, indicating that I was going to attack. I didn't signal to the monster, but to Zhu Shi. We had never cooperated with each other before, so this "extra action" was necessary. Seeing this, Zhu Shi immediately retreated.

In a flash, my eyes were focused on the weirdo's legs. With a loud bang, the weirdo's legs exploded in mid-air, and he fell to the ground.

Before his body hit the ground, he recovered again. It was still the same recovery method that was like the frame skipping in a movie, and no process could be seen. Obviously, his resurrection was not only triggered when he died.

He quickly resumed his charge, but this time, I didn't have time to attack again.

The speed of the monster was so fast that I couldn't even hear the sound of a thunderbolt. Even with Zhu Shi's restraint, I could only launch one attack at most. When I realized that my attack was ineffective, the monster had already rushed in front of me, and my vision suddenly retreated rapidly.

At first I thought I was knocked away, but it wasn't. It was as if my throat was torn apart by the claws, and then even my head was torn off, and the process was so fast that I didn't even have time to feel the pain. My headless body was even standing in place, spurting out dark red blood like a fountain.

"Zhuang Cheng!" Zhu Shi's voice was heard from afar.

"Hahahaha!" The weirdo held my head high like a victorious general and laughed wildly.

This was the first time he spoke: "What's the use of having strong firepower? It's vulnerable to attack!"

Hearing this, I also exclaimed: "You are right."

Just as he said, if Zhu Shi hadn't been holding me back, I wouldn't have been able to fire that one strike just now while he was charging. The speed difference is just too huge. It's the same for me, and other flame ability users fighting alone will have the same outcome.

Seeing me speak suddenly with only my head, the weirdo showed a look of astonishment. I took the opportunity to detonate my head.

My body is made of fire, and so is my head. After the explosion, my vision was plunged into darkness. However, through the scattered flames, I was able to perceive the surroundings. The weirdo's arm was blown to pieces, and he reflexively let out a shocked shout. If I wanted to, I could have him shattered on the spot, but I needed to keep his head intact, so I could only reduce the range of the explosion.

The explosion lasted only a moment and did not cause me much pain. Under my control, the scattered flames flew to my headless "corpse" like birds returning to their nests, and rebuilt a head. My vision was restored.

The strange man's arm also recovered. He stared at me in disbelief, then turned around and ran away.

When he met an opponent who also possessed immortality, his first reaction was not to continue fighting, but to flee. Was it because he felt that it was disadvantageous to fight two people alone? Or was it because he was not so confident in his immortality? In any case, I couldn't just sit there and watch him run away.

At the same time, Zhu Shi appeared in front of his escape route and swung his sword in the air.

A sword light like a streak of light shot out like lightning, cutting the monster in half again.

"Zhuang Cheng, I know the principle behind his immortality!" While attacking, she shouted to me, "The number of times he can be resurrected is limited, just keep killing him repeatedly!"

"I understand."

Although I don’t know what the “principle” Zhu Shi is talking about is, the idea of ​​consuming the opponent’s regenerative power is in line with common sense.

I took her advice, focused my sights again, and detonated the monster's torso.

And when his body exploded, without waiting for him to recover, I condensed a fireball the size of a football with my palm and fired it at where he was.

One after another, fireballs fell where he was like a burst of artillery shells. Explosions continued one after another, and the grass on the playground rolled up like a pool of heavy rocks falling continuously. The screams of terror from the monsters could be heard faintly, and the ground kept shaking.

The naked eye cannot see the scene inside the mud and smoke, but my perception through heat energy can grasp it clearly, and I can also control the fireball to avoid causing damage to his head.

After that, it was just a matter of repeating the same task. Just as Zhu Shi said, I kept killing him until he could no longer be resurrected.

However, what exactly is the "principle of immortality" mentioned by Zhu Shi? I couldn't help but be concerned about this. At least, his resurrection should not be a time reversal. Although his injuries were indeed completely restored, the residual heat left in his body by my attack still exists. If it was a time reversal, the residual heat should also be reversible, right? Just as I was thinking about this, a curse-like voice came from the inside of the mud and dust.

"You forced me to do this..." He seemed to be desperate and made a crazy sound, "All of you, get in!"

For a moment, I thought he was going to use the power of shadows to banish us to the world of shadows, just like Agent Kong did in the past. I had been prepared for that kind of move from the beginning, and I was always paying attention to the movements of the shadows. Even if Zhu Shi didn't know how to deal with it, I was confident that I could protect him.

But the moves he used were beyond my expectations.

Inside the dust and dirt, one of the pieces of his body that was shattered suddenly released a huge, expanding black mist. In the blink of an eye, the black mist broke through the range of the dust and dirt and covered me completely.

My vision suddenly became dark, and an inexplicable feeling of dizziness and nausea came over me.

Is this poison gas? I immediately held my breath. Although the poison has no effect on me, if it is a strange poison, I cannot underestimate it. And now I should be more worried about Zhu Shi than me. Did Zhu Shi inhale this black mist?

Unlike what I imagined, the black mist faded and disappeared within a second, and the feeling of dizziness and nausea also appeared and then disappeared immediately.

What was even more unexpected to me was that the scene before my eyes had undergone a drastic change.

I was clearly on the playground of the sports park just now, but now I was surrounded by a gray, old indoor corridor. It looked a bit like the corridor in an office building, but there were no doors or windows on both sides, just very unsightly walls.

Not only was I transferred to this place, but Zhu Shi was also transferred here.

She was standing nearly 20 meters away from me, the same distance from me as before she was transferred. She seemed a little dizzy, and after pressing her head for several seconds, she finally looked up, saw me, and ran over.

I decided to ask her first: "What is going on?"

"This is a space that does not belong to reality. We are trapped in a different dimension." She frowned and observed the surroundings. "The black mist just now was not poisonous, but a force formed to transfer us to a different dimension. I didn't expect that he would have such a method..."

"A space that does not belong to reality?" I immediately tried to sense the flames I left somewhere else.

Soon, I felt a connection to the flame.

The "fireflies" I had spread throughout Xianshui City were still there, and I could still feel the heat from the previous bombardment of the monster. The scene of the playground in the real world then emerged in my mind. Of course, Zhu Shi and I were no longer there, but the monster was no longer there either.

Could it be that he escaped immediately after resurrecting while we were locked up in the other dimension? No, I didn't feel the residual heat from me on him in the real world.

Rather, I felt like he was also in this so-called alien space... but the feeling was quite vague. I could only confirm his existence, but not his location. It seemed like he was in front of me, but also behind me... I even felt like he could be in any direction.

At this moment, shrill, monster-like laughter came from all directions.

It was that weirdo's voice.

It seems that he is not here, but is talking to us remotely through a device like a loudspeaker. What is strange is that if you look around, you can tell that there is no loudspeaker here.

"I'm going to give you a compliment for forcing all my last cards out." He seemed to be completely certain of his victory.

"Is this also your power?" I asked, "to transfer the enemy into this alien space?"

"Yes, this is my real power." He said confidently, "And once you are trapped in it, you will never escape."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shi laughed disdainfully.

This was obviously not the laughter she would make when she was with me, but an aggressive attitude she would only show when facing an enemy.

She held a sword, head held high, and looked around fearlessly.

The weirdo's voice turned cold: "What are you laughing at?"

"You're lying." Zhu Shi seemed to have seen through everything. "Let's put aside the immortality just now. This phenomenon of transferring the enemy to another dimension is not your own power at all."
