Chapter 214 You Can’t Protect Anything
What kind of archery is this?
This is actually archery?
Although the clone blocked the arrow with his giant sword, his palms were shaking violently, and violent ripples of power spread in all directions. His own giant sword was trying to break free from his control.

Moreover, he was unable to retract his sword because a huge force that was enough to confront him head-on was already firmly embedded in his giant sword.

The clone Zheng Zha felt that he was being a little too arrogant by hastily choosing to fight head-on.

But the next moment, even more terrifying electrophoresis burst out from the arrow.

An indescribable violent impact and destructive power came with the sword, causing the clone Zheng Zha's right hand holding the sword to shatter and disintegrate without any resistance.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of blindingly bright electric light spread out in all directions like a nuclear explosion, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky!

What a joke!
Is this a technique that can be used by an ordinary reincarnationist who is less than the fourth level?
The clone's blood energy and black flames had reached an unprecedented peak. He held the sword with his remaining left hand, facing the lightning that cut through his flesh and skin, and took a forceful step forward.

The giant sword made a sound of twisted metal clashing. In the determination of the clone, it went against the trend and slashed at the stream of light amidst countless lightning and thunderstorms.

Then, time resumed its flow.

Thunderclouds, lightning waterfalls, hurricanes, everything disappeared.

Dark clouds covered the silver moon again, and darkness returned to the earth.

However, when the clone raised its dissolved arm, blood rained all over its body and emanated wisps of smoke.

That terrifying giant sword fell to the ground silently at some point and was deeply embedded in the ruins.

The clone's body slowly fell from the air, like a falling feather, but with an indescribable sense of heaviness.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he staggered and new blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.

"Ahem." The clone wiped away the blood, and the growing hand slowly stretched forward.

Just as he touched the hilt, he saw a very obvious crack suddenly appear on the sword.

The crack was like a crawling poisonous snake, spreading to all parts of the sword at an extremely fast speed.

With a crisp and heart-wrenching "crack" sound, the huge black sword finally couldn't withstand the power of the lightning arrow and broke directly.

Immediately afterwards, the broken sword body further split into countless fragments.

Those fragments scattered in all directions like meteors that had lost their support.

He withdrew his hand, his expression becoming even more unpredictable.

Only the clone Zheng Zha knew how powerful the arrow was.

In order to withstand that terrifying blow that could destroy the world, he had exhausted all his energy and spirit to the extreme.

With the help of an A-level magic weapon blocking the front, he was able to take the arrow.

If I had no weapon at that time and was hit directly by the arrow.

He will die too.

Moreover, this is an A-level sword of the Dark Devil, which is comparable to a divine weapon in some worlds.

Just like that, it was destroyed?

Zheng Zha suddenly wanted to laugh, so he burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha. Hahahahahahaha.”

"Ming Yanwei, interesting, interesting."

The ground was shrouded in fragmented chaos.

Ming Yanwei's face was pale, she kept coughing up blood, and she was half-kneeling on the ground, unable to even stand up.

In an instant, she gave up most of her life force, bursting out all her strength, and concentrated it on the high-speed hunting explosive lightning arrow that surpassed everything.

But he still didn't kill the clone Zheng Zha, he just destroyed his weapon.

She leaned against the ground with her only remaining hand, forcing herself not to fall.

Looking at the terrifying demon walking towards him, the damage on his body was recovering with every step.

When he walked in front of her, the clone Zheng Zha's body had fully recovered and no injuries were visible.

The fourth level is so hopeless.

"Compared to you, my teammates are really some weaklings who are not worth mentioning." The clone showed no sadness or joy, his face was calm, and he was not angry at all because his body was severely injured by the broken weapons.

But the calmer it is, the more frightening it is, as if beneath the silence, an endless storm is gathering.

"But the more powerful you are, the more my true form appears to be worthless."

"You're hiding in the corner like a rat, letting your teammates take the lead. Are you crying?" The clone looked around at the weekend-like ruins and snorted coldly.

Then he fixed his cold eyes on Ming Yanwei and Qi Tengyi.

"As for you, you followed the wrong captain." The clone Zheng Zha said to them calmly.

"Ah!"

Ming Yanwei's face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down her face. She used her only remaining hand to support herself and stood up tremblingly.

"Don't be so hypocritical. If you want to kill us, come on!"

"Really? I really don't have any reason to let go of the enemy in a team battle."

The clone Zheng Zha said coldly: "All I can do is to free you, the irrelevant people, as soon as possible."

"Then let my original body die last. Let him apologize to you in the underworld."

He grabbed a ball of black flame in his hand, the dark color was enough to destroy everything.

He suddenly looked to the side and saw a figure walking out from the ruins.

"Clone, aren't you looking for me?" Zheng Zha let out a deep breath.

"I am coming."

"What a mess, my true form! Now that you're out, take a good look at your teammates and see how each of them died."

The clone's eyes were like a dark night sky, without a single star lit up.

“Feel the pain of powerlessness.”

At that moment, the clone Zheng Zha took a step to the left. It was clearly just one step, but he moved forward dozens of meters and came near Ming Yanwei, waving his hand knife with black flames.

"No!!!" Zheng Zha saw this scene and triggered the explosion and rushed over.

But just as he started, his meridians could not withstand the energy of the explosion and he fell to the ground, coughing up blood.

Although Zheng Zha tried desperately to rescue, everything was too slow under the black flames.

No hesitation, no reversal.

A ray of flame passed across Ming Yanwei's throat.

Ming Yanwei couldn't even utter her last words before her entire body was covered in black flames and she turned to ashes in an instant.

[Zhongzhou team has three deaths and a cumulative loss of two points]

"Do not!!!"

Saito, who was white-haired and half-dead, let out a roar of pain.

Hatred and hysterical pain flashed in his eyes. He raised his wand and a green light shot towards the clone.

"Avada Kedavra!"

This was Saito Ichi's last bit of strength. He witnessed his teammates being killed one by one in front of him.

The pain, resentment and helplessness that entangled his heart made him use the most powerful killing curse to date.

"Cough cough!"

The clone's body shook slightly, and it coughed out two mouthfuls of green blood before wiping its mouth.

"Wizard, you are not bad. Reincarnationists below level three can hardly withstand your killing curse." The clone Zheng Zha commented positively.

Although the clone Zheng Zha had a calm look in his eyes, he did not hold back. He kicked Saito's arms in half with two kicks, broke his teeth, and pulled out his tongue, completely making it impossible for him to cast magic again.

After doing all this, the clone grabbed Qi Tengyi's neck and threw him to the ground like a piece of garbage.

He looked at his original body calmly: "I did all this not to satisfy my tyranny. After all, I have no hatred towards them."

“Even a little bit of appreciation.”

"But I just wanted to punish you."

"No, no." Zheng Zha's throat seemed to be blocked by blood, and he couldn't even make any sound. He could only repeat the dry words meaninglessly.

The clone Zheng Zha walked over. Zheng Zha was unable to fight back and his shaky Buddha Wheel protective shield was shattered by a punch.

With a wave of his hand, the black flames burned on Zheng Zha again, and he could only roll on the ground in pain.

“It’s really ugly.”

The clone sighed, grabbed Zheng Zha's neck with one hand, dragged him in front of Saito, and said condescendingly.

"I've never been able to figure out one thing: Are you and I the same person?"

"I thought the day I saw you, you were just a piece of trash who couldn't even fight me."

"But now it seems that you and I are the same."

"So, feel the pain."

“Accept the pain.”

"Understand the pain."

"Then, let the world suffer."

click-

Saito Hajime's head was twisted off and his body was instantly burned to ashes by the black flames.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Zha suddenly seemed to lose his last breath and collapsed to the ground.

[Zhongzhou team lost four players, cumulatively lost three points]

The clone seemed very disappointed when he saw Zheng Zha's gloomy eyes.

"Where is your hatred, your awareness, and your will?"

"Don't you want to kill me for revenge?"

"Are you the only one in the entire Zhongzhou team who is a flower in a greenhouse?" Although the replica no longer insulted Zheng Zha with words, every word he said was tormenting his mind, kneading his will, and whipping his soul.

Zheng Zha felt that something was about to emerge from the endless darkness in his heart, but he still instinctively rejected everything.

He couldn't accept this result, and even more so, he couldn't accept that he was powerless to do anything.

The clone once again spread out its fully restored demonic wings.

Suspended beneath a dark cloud, a terrifying darkness surrounded him.

He looked down at everything like a king, and darkness spread behind him like a tide, as if to swallow up the world.

"It was a fierce fight that started strong but ended poorly."

"There's another one I don't want to bother looking for anymore."

"Just like this, you will all turn into ashes together."

He stretched out his palm, and the dark light turned into a terrifying flame.

"Die."

Then, dark fire fell from the sky.

Only a moment later, the dark fire expanded into an overwhelming black tide, roaring wildly with bone-scorching heat.

Zheng Zha watched the flame fall in despair, but suddenly found a small bat appearing in front of him, flapping its wings.

Transformed into a familiar man.

Before Zheng Zha could say anything, the slow black flame finally reached the ground.

In an instant, the black flames ignited everything, forming a powder similar to a thermobaric bomb, which spread to every corner of the area.

The explosion caused by the heat of the black flames instantly consumed all the oxygen in the area.

The high-pressure shock wave it generated followed closely behind, sweeping across the entire space.

Ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure, only death awaits all creatures within this area.

At this moment, Zheng Zha, who was at the center of the explosion and should have been directly swallowed by the high temperature, saw the scene in front of him and was somewhat unbelievable.

"Zheng Zha." Lingdian called softly.

He stood in front of Zheng Zha.

"Not midnight, why!" Zheng Zha's eyes were red.

Why, why did you come to save him!
Lingdian injected all the blood in his body into the blood badge, creating a blood-colored barrier to resist the black flames, isolating Zheng Zha from the high temperature and death.

But the price he paid for all this was his own fragmentation and dissolution.

"Zheng Zha, I'm very happy that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you until death." Lingdian said with difficulty.

He was now completely bloodless, his entire body was pale, and a large hole had been burned in his chest by the black flames.

Moreover, the big hole is constantly expanding, almost cutting the zero point in half.

Zheng Zha stretched out his hand, wanting to touch zero point.

The confusion in his eyes turned into unspeakable despair and pain.

He truly felt the pain that the replica described.

The despair of losing everything completely shattered his mental defenses, making him face his true vulnerability.

It's like this again, always like this.

The same goes for Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, and Lingdian.

I can’t protect anyone.

why!
why!
Zero, whose face was already very blurred, also began to say his final goodbyes.

"Zheng Zha, believe in yourself."

"You haven't lost yet, have you?" Lingdian raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relieved smile.

Then the whole person was completely engulfed by the black flames and turned into ashes.

A bright red badge, melted by flames, hovered in the air.

And then, it fell.

[Zhongzhou team lost five players and lost a total of four points]

The battlefield, swept by the high temperature, has long been devastated, and only the billowing smoke still records the purgatory that just happened.

Zheng Zha struggled to stand up, but he could not sense the breath of his companions.

"They're all dead," he said in a daze.

Zheng Zha told himself over and over again in his heart that this was just a part of the plan.

No matter what happens, you must fulfill your responsibilities.

But the scorched earth before him, the rising heat waves and the thin air under his nose all tore apart his resolve.

As the dust was cleared away, the culprit behind all this reappeared.

"Aren't you dead yet?" The clone looked at him in surprise.

"You let your teammates die for you again. How disgusting! You should have been the one doing this!"

The clone picked up Zheng Zha, looked at his confused and disordered eyes, tightened his fingers slightly, and planned to finish him off.

But he suddenly heard a deafening heartbeat.

Zheng Zha's heart was beating wildly.

In the originally chaotic pupils, a spot of scarlet was constantly expanding.

next moment.

"Shut up!"

It was like the devil's roar coming from the Nine Nether Hell, resounding throughout the entire space.

In extreme rage, hatred, grief and self-blame, Zheng Zha felt that there were no longer just stormy waves in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It was a complete flood and tsunami like the end of the world, and then everything went black in front of my eyes. This was a sign of complete loss of self-awareness.

His self-will is always like a lone boat on the raging sea, which never sinks despite being surrounded by dangers.

The cells throughout his body were evolving madly in the high-intensity confrontation, making him become stronger and stronger without realizing it.

As his spirit broke through a dangerous barrier, Zheng Zha's strength and realm also broke through in an instant!
Zheng Zha was in a very complicated mood at this moment, an emotion that was difficult to describe.

Is it pain? Despair? Hatred? Guilt?
Fundamentally, it wasn't just the guilt he felt for his teammate's recent death, but more of a sense of powerlessness he felt about not being able to change the situation.

This feeling of powerlessness had been accumulating for a long time, or to be more precise, since he entered the cycle of horror movies.

Whether it was the initial helplessness in facing the approach of the Licker, or the helplessness in not being able to save Li Xiaoyi in Alien, or even the helplessness in being easily killed by Sukuna in The Grudge.

This powerlessness and torture was like a growing beast, constantly eating away at his heart.

After he entered the fourth level, the evil beast truly walked out of his mind.

But Zheng Zha never dared to face it head-on, because he was afraid that this evil beast would devour his heart and hurt his beloved companions.

Until now, his companions have been killed one by one in front of him.

Then there is nothing to worry about.

Zheng Zha no longer resisted himself, was completely liberated, and opened his mind completely.

——Since you want it.

——Then it’s all yours!

So he completely handed everything over to the evil beast.

An indescribable sense of comfort and relief permeated his body and mind.

This feeling is really hard to describe.

If I have to say one word, then I can only use two words.

free!

This was a complete liberation of the mind and body, an unimaginable feeling of freedom throughout the body, as if one could soar above the heavens in an instant. This feeling almost made him indulge in it.

If it weren't for the last bit of rationality still in his hands, his consciousness might have been swallowed up by this feeling.

But this feeling is really great, and this power is really strong!
At this moment, he finally realized the full extent of his inner demons.

That is, great freedom!
Completely free from all constraints, soar above the nine heavens, travel across the four seas, split the sky and the earth, and be omnipotent!

Life and death, victory and defeat.

Everything doesn't matter.

Only when you are in great freedom can you know that you are yourself.

"In that case, nothing else matters, let's die together!"

When the clone heard Zheng Zha's completely crazy words, it looked at him with a surprised expression for the first time.

It’s like getting to know myself for the first time.

Then, he felt a huge force coming from the hand that was holding Zheng Zha's neck.

Those eyes no longer had the clarity and stupidity they had before, but were now blood red.

Like the lava of hell, it exudes a bloody and scorching heat that seems to burn the world to ashes. It is so bright red that it is blinding, and so hot that it burns people's hearts. It seems that just one more look at it can make people boil and burn.

Then, Zheng Zha, who had originally stopped struggling, uttered two words:

"destroy!"

In an instant, a huge explosion engulfed everything, and then the clouds in the sky were torn apart, the earth was almost split in two, and a deep, bottomless ravine was cut into the city.

Destructive energy and blazing flames spread in all directions along with the shockwave of the explosion, shattering and tearing apart all inanimate and living things along the way, and then burning them to ashes...
