Chapter 124 Zhao Yingkong vs. Zhao Zhuikong [Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"Zhao Zhukong!"

With a clear and powerful voice, Zhao Ying called out the other person's name.

Almost instantly, Zhao Yingkong drew out the [Qilin Twin Daggers], lowered her body slightly, and faint arcs of electricity flickered, preparing for a surprise attack.

His Sharingan eyes were locked on their target, the three tomoe spinning rapidly, their power ready to burst forth.

Although her expression didn't change noticeably, Fang Ge knew that she had already unlocked the second-stage gene lock.

The members of the Central Continent Team have all spent a great deal of time on self-cultivation. The activation and maintenance of the genetic lock is also part of this cultivation.

Taking Fang Ge himself as an example, as long as he remains conscious, he can maintain the activation of the third-tier gene lock and continuously simulate [Player Fang Ge].

Zheng Zha is second in progress. His progress is similar to Fang Ge's, but unlike Fang Ge, he has not become instinctive and still needs to be driven by conscious effort.

Zhao Yingkong, as the sub-DPS of Da Lei and the King of Scrolls, is suppressed by the inner personality in terms of unlocking talent, but when it comes to training content... she is by no means ambiguous.

At least until she collapses from exhaustion, Little Apple will not stop her physical activation and gene lock activation.

"Do they know each other?" Zhan Lan was somewhat puzzled by Fang Ge's decision.

"I know her... so this is a battle that belongs only to her."

Fang Ge nodded slightly, "We shouldn't make a move until she wins or loses."

This is a...opportunity.

Opposite Zhao Yingkong was an incredibly handsome young man.

With shoulder-length hair and a height of about 1.8 meters, his physique is absolutely comparable to that of a male model.

Coupled with his gentlemanly and gentle smile, he was definitely a charming and irresistible womanizer.

"You've gotten stronger... as agile as a kitten, my adorable, youthful-looking little cousin."

Zhao Zhuikong shrugged helplessly, seemingly quite relaxed.

The two seem to be diametrically opposed.

That sounds... somewhat familiar.

A sense of déjà vu came from deep within her brain, but it did not distract Zhao Yingkong.

The girl, who was on high alert, did not make a move rashly, nor did she even use illusion magic to test the waters.

"Sharingan, with eyes like these... can you see my true character now?"

……tolerance?
Zhao Yingkong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile:
"Now, all I can see with these eyes is your dead body."

Stab it!

The lightning gathered in his hand shot out suddenly, transforming into an invincible lightning spear!
Chidori Sharp Spear!

Zhao Zhuikong seemed not to have reacted, and he did not move at all as the thunder spear pierced his heart!
The blow pierced through Zhao Zhuikong's body, but Zhao Yingkong did not feel the sensation of the piercing through a solid object, nor did any blood gush out.

"How long will this boring little trick continue?"

As the girl uttered this question, Zhao Zhuikong on the other side vanished slowly like a fleeting shadow.

behind……

"Ding!"

The black katana made contact with the Qilin dagger in Zhao Ying's empty hand.

The Thousand Bird Blade... this technique should have been impossible to resist.

However, this was not the case when facing Zhao Zhuikong.

A subtle force emanated from the blade, subtly neutralizing the cascading lightning.

Not a single bit...not a single detail is superfluous.

"Subtle and meticulous"... This is a concept that Fang Ge once taught Zhao Yingkong, and it is also proof of the fourth stage of gene lock.

Without a doubt, Zhao Zhuikong is already a powerful individual who has unlocked the fourth stage of the gene lock.

“But in terms of absolute power… I am still greater!” At this moment, Zhao Yingkong activated the curse seal.

Black flame patterns spread rapidly from the neck, then covered the entire body.

The chakra is amplified by the power of nature, and its power is increased by leaps and bounds!

Power and electricity both reached a new level at this moment!
Even with the self-optimization of the fourth-order gene lock, Zhao Zhuikong still had to temporarily avoid the limelight due to the absolute numerical values.

The man smiled and said, "Let me see your magnanimity. You were once an almost invincible genius... how far have you grown now?"

With a flick of his wrist, he used a clever technique to deflect the force, and Zhao Yingkong's Thousand Birds, guided by him, crashed into the ground!

"Snapped!"

With a sound like shattering glass, Zhao Yingkong's force smashed a crater in the ground!
Then, Zhao Zhuikong thrust his katana once again toward Zhao Yingkong's vitals...

"Chidori-ryu!"

Centered on Zhao Yingkong, azure lightning bolts shot out!
Its strength is immense, and its reaction speed is incredibly fast... This enhancement of the Main God Space is truly ingenious...

Zhao Zhuikong sighed inwardly. He hadn't purchased any bloodline or physical enhancements... which made it even harder to suppress his inner demons.

Just before arriving, when he first received news of his beloved Little Apple, Zhao Zhuikong lost control and killed a newcomer in the team...

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, he wielded a katana with a lotus-shaped hilt, unleashing a profound, ink-like sword aura. This not only halted Zhao Yingkong's attack but also pulled Zhao Zhuikong out of the area covered by the Thousand Bird Stream.

—The Mortal Blade—open the gate…?

Fang Ge watched all of this from within his inner world.

[The Mortal Blade - Opening Gate, from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, is a black greatsword, a secret weapon of Senpou Temple. It inflicts massive damage on immortal enemies and prevents wounds from healing. When infused with energy, it releases a black sword aura. Opening Gates can absorb and preserve nearby souls, allowing the user to sacrifice themselves to reshape a suitable body for a well-preserved soul within. Requires two B-rank side quests, rewarding 6000 points.]

Fang Ge recalled the descriptions of this weapon. He roughly understood Zhao Zhuikong's plan.

Once you have the captain's authority, you can get information about the next horror movie.

However, the accuracy of the information obtained each time varies.

Sometimes it only shows the title of a horror movie. Sometimes it even hints at the "main quest." This becomes even more obvious during team battles.

As the strongest of the three teams, Zhang Jie only knows that the horror movie in the Central Continent team is "Team Battle - Legend of the Gods and Demons".

However, judging from Zhao Zhuikong's weapon choice... it is very likely that the main god told the East American team about their team battle opponents during the interlude period, thereby indirectly reducing the difficulty for the East American team.

The Mortal Blade is particularly effective against undead creatures like Imhotep. However, between the two Mortal Blades, "Open the Gate" and "Tears of the Gods," "Tears of the Gods" clearly deals more damage.

After all, the former has an additional ability: to sacrifice oneself to revive others.

—Does he want to kill Little Apple, then sacrifice himself to resurrect Big Apple?

The outlandish idea was consistent with Fang Ge's perception of her brother-in-law's limited intellectual capacity.

After all... Zhao Zhuikong didn't know that the other personality had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

"Genjutsu - Sharingan!"

Zhao Yingkong attempted to activate her illusion eye.

Failed……

Zhao Zhuikong did a good job of avoiding eye contact, not giving her any chance to meet his gaze at all.

The Mortal Blade swung down again, and Zhao Ying narrowly blocked it. She hated this feeling of being unable to exert any strength.

Even though he completely outclassed his opponent in terms of physical abilities, being stronger and faster, he was still led by the nose by his opponent's subtle techniques.

The girl needed a more forceful approach to break the deadlock, and she shouted:
"teacher!"

The title... and the tone of her voice when she called it...

It's really unpleasant.

Zhao Zhuikong tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife.
