Chapter 438 Death is coming
"Xiaoyou! Crouch down!"

Wu Wang suddenly shouted loudly.

Her hair grew wildly, reaching her waist in an instant, and the ends were dyed a strange purple.

Although Wu Xiaoyou, who had just left the instance, did not know what had happened, she subconsciously did as Wu Wang said upon hearing his voice.

brush--

The moment he bent down to crouch, a silent black shadow swept past where his head had been.

The giant scythe, resembling the Grim Reaper's reaping of souls, barely grazed Wu Xiaoyou's scalp.

The few strands of hair that flew up made one feel a sense of lingering fear.

when--

As the sickle swept past, Wu Wang's figure appeared in front of the opponent.

The sword in his hand was like a silver dragon emerging from the sea, stirring up thousands of waves, as if it would cut through the air itself, and in an instant it had reached the neck of the crying monster.

However, the giant scythe wielded by the opponent seemed to have a life of its own.

It was clearly in a position where it couldn't retreat in time, yet it strangely appeared as if flowing water, blocking Xiaochuan's way from an unbelievable angle.

The sword and scythe clashed with a crisp sound.

Wu Wang's eyes seemed to be burning with a raging fire as he stared at the other person, whose true appearance was not clear, but whose eyes could be vaguely seen through the eye holes of the mask.

The opponent's appearance was much larger than the one seen in the previous instance.

His upper body was covered with a coat made of countless layers of black cloth, or a cloak long enough to drag on the ground. Even his hands were wrapped in black cloth bandages, with no exposed skin.

Its unusually messy style makes it look like the Grim Reaper from legends.

Cold, indifferent, and even a little eerie.

This is also the first feeling one gets when making eye contact with the crying-faced weirdo.

The eyes beneath the mask lacked any living spirit.

It was as if it were merely a ruthless killing machine or a twisted tool of flesh and blood.

Just now.

A trickle of blood suddenly seeped from the corner of Wu Wang's mouth.

The raging fire in his eyes gradually subsided.

But it didn't go out; instead, it became even hotter, as if compressed to its extreme.

"Go, be born, one, thought."

As he uttered those four words, one by one.

The crying-faced strange man suddenly took two steps back.

With a sudden sweep of his giant scythe, Wu Wang was forced to grab Wu Xiaoyou's hand and pull her back several steps.

The two sides quickly created a considerable distance between them.

The next second, a voice filled with doubt and surprise came from under the mask.

"Ok?"

The crying-faced man raised his hand and gently wiped his neck.

The black robe that originally covered her skin was now ripped open.

A smear of dark green, viscous liquid clung to my fingers, looking somewhat unsettling under the streetlights.

"Turning cause into effect, I've seen this sword technique before."

The sound was hoarse, like rusty steel rubbing against each other, and just hearing it made one feel somewhat irritated.

he got hurt!

But that's about it.

"With my next sword strike, I will sever your head and offer it as a sacrifice to the heavens," came the cold reply from Wu Wang.

It was obvious from the moment the other party appeared.

The one controlling Wu Wang's body was already his eldest sister, Wu Qing.

Faced with this sudden and formidable enemy, Wu Wang dared not slacken his vigilance in the slightest.

Fearing that he wouldn't be able to effectively harm her with his current abilities, he simply entrusted his body entirely to his elder sister.

After all, in terms of direct combat capability alone...

Wu Qing was much better than the current Wu Wang.

For example, that sword strike just now, if it were Wu Wang, he probably wouldn't have been able to hit the target.

That involves the application of Wu Qing's own talent.

Simply put, this sword move called "One Thought of Rebirth" requires hitting the target first, then striking with the sword.

It's somewhat similar to Wu Wang's [Painful Prediction], both of which trigger the result first, and then you experience the process.

However, it is precisely because of the special nature of this sword technique.

This is why Wu Qing now feels even more pressured.

Because her original intention was to kill the opponent directly.

In the end, they only made a tiny cut on the skin of his neck, and the wound probably healed itself within the few seconds the two were talking.

Furthermore, the effect of [Xiaochuan], which can directly attack the soul, doesn't seem to have a good effect on this crying-faced monster.

He was struck by the sword without even feeling a jolt.

Although he said he would cut off the opponent's head with his next sword strike, Wu Qing was not even sure if his next strike would cause any damage.

After all, she was only ever a soul.

The control over Wu Wang's physical body is definitely not as good as that of one's own original body, and even one's talents cannot be fully utilized by using Wu Wang's body.

Using the [Single Thought of Rebirth] technique already made her feel somewhat strained, and there were many more powerful sword moves that she couldn't force to unlock.

"Damn it, my combat strength is far too weak in this state!" Wu Qing said helplessly to Wu Wang in his mind, "Brother, find a way to get Xiaoyou away. You make the plan, and I will cooperate with you."

Even without her older sister's reminder, Wu Wang was already rapidly thinking about how to escape.

The opponent's fighting strength is clearly beyond what we can achieve at this stage.

I'm not some kind of protagonist from a shonen anime who just unleashes his inner power when faced with difficulties.

If you can't beat them, of course you run!

But before he could continue his conversation with his older sister...

They were already charging over there, wielding their giant scythes.

"Kid, you learned your moves from this sword, didn't you? It's a pity that the original owner of this sword was stronger."

The hoarse voice of the crying-faced monster came through.

A gust of wind swept through, making Wu Wang feel as if he were about to be blown into the sky.

And this was merely the shockwave generated when the opponent swung their sickle.

The speed was so fast that even Wu Qing, who was controlling the body and had seen the future, could not dodge in time.

This is similar to how even if an ordinary person knows that a sniper rifle is aimed at their torso, it is impossible for them to dodge it on a flat, open field with no cover, relying solely on their reaction speed.

Wu Qing barely managed to lift Xiao Chuan slightly to parry.

brush--

boom--

In an instant, Wu Wang's body was sent flying dozens of meters like a cannonball, even crashing through many street walls along the way.

Centered on the crying-face monster, all buildings within a ten-meter radius were cut open at waist height.

Wu Xiaoyou, who was standing next to her, did not suffer any fatal injuries.

The six-winged phantom had already appeared behind her, intertwined like a shield, half of it blocking Wu Xiaoyou's way.

But when the surrounding buildings collapsed with a roar, the six-winged phantom was also forcibly broken in the middle.

The feathers flying everywhere and the visible bone and flesh in the cross-section of the wound all proved that Wu Xiaoyou would feel pain from the broken wing.

She knelt on the ground, panting heavily, staring intently at the other person, as if all ten of her fingers had been severed in an instant.

"Not enough... This amount of strength is not enough to protect my brother."

When this idea came to mind.

The seal on Wu Xiaoyou's forehead emitted strands of golden light.

Starting from those tiny, rice-grain-sized golden specks, rune-like patterns spread from the forehead to the entire body, and the angel crown on the head gradually began to appear.

Admittedly, he couldn't absorb the power of the other [Fragment of the Past] within the seal all at once.

But even if the seal is forcibly broken, it will still spiral out of control again.

At the very least, they'll prioritize dealing with the monster in front of them.

Whether he wakes up or not is another matter, but I absolutely cannot just stand by and watch!

When Wu Xiaoyou unleashed a powerful yet eerie aura.

Even the crying-faced weirdo was somewhat surprised.

"This taste is... [Fragments of the Past]?"

"I never thought humans could eat that kind of thing. Looks like you're an interesting toy, but unfortunately, you're not worth much."

He raised the giant scythe in his hand, intending to swing it at Wu Xiaoyou's head again.

A furious shout came from afar—

"You dare to cut me again, you motherfucker!" The next second, Wu Wang's blood-covered figure flashed wildly using the [Seven Star Steps of Heavenly Gang], and in the blink of an eye, he arrived between the giant scythe and Wu Xiaoyou.

A nick appeared on the edge of the [Laughing River] sword in his hand, clearly indicating that it had almost been shattered by the previous blow.

Because of this, the eldest sister's possession state was temporarily broken.

Now Wu Wang is in charge.

Before the giant scythe could fall, Wu Wang's figure transformed into seven more illusory bodies, and several ghostly figures emerged from the shadows.

They even charged directly at the sickle with their bare hands, attempting to stop it.

[Xiaochuan] was put back into the [backpack], and Wu Wang was worried that if it took another head-on hit, it would really break.

After taking out the [Elemental Gun], he shoved it directly into the chest of the crying-face monster.

The gas element is frantically mobilized and compressed.

[Elemental Gun (Epic): Creates and manipulates the four elements—earth, water, fire, and air—without reloading. Theoretically, the amount of elements created is unlimited. However, due to the limitations of the gun, excessive extraction of a single element in a short period of time can have devastating consequences.]

Wu Wang had already figured out how to use the weapon when he obtained it.

That would be to burst it.

From long-term used equipment to disposable bombs.

As stated in the weapon description—over-extracting one of its elements.

The reason for choosing the air element is...

Wu Wang was unsure whether the final bomb made of earth, water, and fire elements could effectively kill this guy.

Most importantly, these three elements may cause area-of-effect damage, which could also affect the second sister.

But the element of air is different.

It can be compressed and condensed into a single point.

The goal wasn't to use it to kill the crying-faced monster, but to blast him away a very, very long distance with the ultimate air element.

In addition, with the ability of [Pain Prediction], I can trigger the effect of knocking this guy away a second time.

In this way, at least for a short period of time, this guy will be unable to get close again.

Finally, take this opportunity to escape with your second sister!
bang-bang-bang-

The fake bodies and ghostly figures created by Wu Wang are being destroyed at an extremely fast speed.

However, this did not reduce the speed of the giant scythe's swing in the slightest.

Seeing that the sickle was about to fall, Wu Wang had already decided to take the hit himself.

Anyway, the [Elemental Gun] in my hand is about to be activated.

I won't get killed.

Just then, the crying-faced man suddenly paused.

He suddenly raised the giant scythe in his hand and took a step back.

Just as Wu Wang was somewhat bewildered that the crisis had disappeared and the other party had just moved his foot away.

A streak of silver light swept across the sky on the wind.

Like a space-based weapon launched from outer space, it broke through the clouds and fell from the sky with a sonic boom.

brush--

Finally, it stood abruptly between Wu Wang and the crying-faced monster.

If the latter had retreated even half a second slower, he would most likely have been pierced through.

A glint flashed in Wu Wang's eyes, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

His "vision of truth" saw—

[Standard Sword +31]

This sword looks plain and unadorned.

Its owner represents the strongest human in the world.

"Come on! If you're so capable, try your hand at this guy's moves!"

Faced with Wu Wang's sudden arrogant provocation, and glancing at the silver sword on the ground that resembled a dividing line, he was immediately confronted.

He clicked his tongue slightly beneath the crying-face mask.

"Tsk, here comes the troublesome guy."

After saying that, he actually threw the scythe downwards into his own shadow, a dark shadow that was like an abyss capable of swallowing anything it touched.

Then the crying-faced monster began to slowly sink, as if it were stepping on some kind of swamp.

He too began to fall into the shadows.

As he was leaving, he stared intently at Wu Wang and grinned, saying:

"Kid, I'll remember you."

"Before I leave this world, I will definitely kill you."

call--

In the blink of an eye, only Wu Wang and Wu Xiaoyou remained in the alley.

A chill crept up their spines.

To be honest, the Azure Dragon arrived very quickly.

From the appearance of the crying-faced monster to its exchange with Wu Wang, and finally the silver sword descending from the sky, the entire process took less than a minute.

Ultimately, they only managed to exchange a few blows.

But within those few dozen seconds, Wu Wang felt a sense of powerlessness second only to that of having an audience with the Venerable One.

Having exhausted all means, all I could do was try to escape.

That's incredible, absolutely overwhelming.

The other party was like a true Grim Reaper coming to collect souls; even a slight glance would turn one into a dead soul under his scythe.

It's hard to imagine that such a powerful dungeon creature would appear in the real world just two days after the open beta began.

Wu Wang slowly canceled the condensation of the [Elemental Gun].

A rare feeling of relief welled up inside me.

Firstly, I'm glad that the other party ultimately didn't cause any harm to my second sister.

As for the eldest sister, she's doing alright.

Her soul was not damaged again, and when [Xiaochuan] was attacked and its possession was interrupted, she also said something to herself in her mind.

【Xiaochuan】possesses a certain degree of recovery ability.

As long as it's not a complete break.

It can gradually repair itself.

Secondly, he was relieved that the guy didn't seem to recognize him as the "immortal" person he was looking for.

Otherwise, the crying-faced monster wouldn't have made that threat before leaving.

Judging from his performance at the end of the [Wilderness Village Chronicle] instance, if he had known he was [Undying], he probably wouldn't have given up and fled so easily.

I suppose this is also thanks to my second sister.

Her aura of [Fragments of the Past] completely masked her aura of [Undying].

Even when they stand before the Venerable Ones in the audience space, they cannot perceive that they possess the quality of "immortality".

But... what about next time?

Wu Wang clenched his fist slightly.

Now that this guy has come to reality, we should treat his arrival as something that was bound to happen sooner or later.

I will eventually face it again.

Will we have to flee in a sorry state again?

Or perhaps we could ask Qinglong to save our lives again?
These are ultimately just temporary solutions; there is only one true solution.

That is becoming stronger!
Become stronger at an even faster pace!
Perhaps I can make good use of the anchor point and find a way to stay in reality for a short period of time, and keep conquering the dungeon?
Just as Wu Wang was deep in thought.

A voice, tinged with sobs, came through the air—

“Brother…”

Turning her head, she was shocked to see her second sister with tears in her eyes, pointing anxiously at the angel crown on her head:

"Help! Help! Help! I can't seem to stop!"

The seal was torn open too much at once, and now she can't close it again.

Wu Wang: “?”

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand, grabbed the silver sword on the ground, and brandished it.

He shouted loudly to those around him, "Chief! You have to take the sword back, right? Please help! We're already here!"

The next second, the surrounding environment instantly lost its color.

Wu Wang seemed to be dragged into another space, where there was nothing but the starry sky.

After a moment of distraction, I found myself sitting in mid-air in front of me—the familiar and reassuring figure, Azure Dragon.

The other party smiled slightly and said:
"No rush, sit down and talk slowly."

"Also, it's been a long time, Heartless Immortal."
