Chapter 159 The Tyrant Returns! Slaughter!

"Kill him?"

Bessie's eyes trembled. The war tyrant chasing her not far behind filled her with dread. The few minutes of pursuit felt like an eternity. Her legs were weak and her mind was nearing its limit.

That feeling is so horrible!

“That’s right. Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. You’ve been chased for so long, didn’t you notice that his transformation state lasted for an unusually long time?” Lu asked with a smile.

“Of course I found out, I’m not stupid, but the key issue is that I don’t know why this skill lasts for so long, the benefits and costs of this skill are very unreasonable,” Besh replied.

"Is it unreasonable? I don't think so."

Lu maintained his smile as he rapidly advanced through the air to retreat, and continued, "From the beginning of the trial, he directly self-destructed his level position, just to attract other psionicists here, to the area centered on him."

"Then, he displayed extremely strong combat power, overwhelming you with an overwhelming advantage. This was completely inconsistent with his current level. Everyone knew something was wrong. Everyone knew that his transformation skill lasted for an unusually long time, but no one could understand the specific mechanism of his transformation."

"I propose a hypothesis: the God-King's transformation skill has no duration limit, but rather depends on the battle situation to determine whether it continues. As long as the battle continues, he will maintain this transformation state until he scores 10,000 points to pass the trial."

"Combat readiness!"

Besh woke up instantly. If that was the case, then everything could be explained.

After the Heavenly Gate Trial ends, exiting this small world will automatically reset the state, so the Divine Lord doesn't need to worry about accumulating too many side effects in the transformed state. He only needs to attract people over and then score enough points in one go.

That's why he would exploit the humanity of other psionicists to use the Hunting Mark on me. The real reason is most likely because he had already foreseen what might happen next.

No wonder he can cast spells. As expected, the mind of a mage is beyond human comprehension.

"Mark!"

Besh exclaimed in surprise, "If it's a mark, then he'll probably catch up and continue fighting to kill us."

"It's alright, as long as we're far enough away, we can just break free from the combat."

Lu's smile remained bright as he displayed his location on the map, saying, "I made preparations before coming here, and no one will come near me now."

"This is a trap set to kill him."

The war tyrant rampaged through the burning forest, snapping countless giant trees in his wake. Flames and thick smoke blotted out the sky, turning the endless forest into a hellish landscape.

Ye Mingqiu was tracking Bei Xi, who was now far beyond the range. At such a great distance, he could no longer maintain his fighting stance.

He looked around and found that there wasn't a single psionicist around, making it impossible for him to maintain his Tyrant form through combat.

"Damn it! Where are they?!"

The tyrant swung his spear in fury, snapping the towering tree in half and sending it crashing to the ground with a thunderous roar. He stomped on the tree, attempting to use the [Mark] to hunt down Besh, but the distance was too great for him to reach her.

He unleashed his power wildly in the forest, destroying everything in his sight, but still could not find even a single enemy, and could only writhe in helpless rage.

Because at this moment, the law is directly above his head, but so far away that it is impossible to fight.

Immediately afterwards, the five-meter-tall War Tyrant shrank rapidly in a short period of time, returning to its original size.

The blood spear flashed with light, and crimson energy flowed into his body. Ye Mingqiu gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.

Subsequently, the hidden psionicists gradually revealed themselves, their killing intent and hostility no longer concealed, emerging from all directions.

"Do you think that just because I've reverted to Tyrant form, you can try to kill me?!"

A crimson light burst forth from Ye Mingqiu's eyes, revealing his surging killing intent, which engulfed all the psionicists like a crimson tsunami.

Many psionicists instinctively retreated, but forcibly withstood the pressure, their greed growing stronger. In their eyes, the more the [God-King] displayed his power at this moment, the weaker he appeared.

As a top-tier psionicist, the opponent must have a backup plan. If he collapses to the ground and becomes unable to move after exiting Tyrant form, other psionicists will think it's a trap and need to test him further.

Even after exiting the tyrant form, he still possesses sufficient power, which aligns with their understanding and psychological expectations of the God-King.

"Detect!"

[Prompt: Detection failed!]

"Humph!"

Ye Mingqiu snorted coldly. He possessed the dual concealment effects of [Eye of Omargon] and [Veil of Riddle], making it impossible for a mere level 10 hero to detect his basic attributes. Even if they could detect them, it would only be because he deliberately controlled the intensity to make it visible to them.

"Be careful of the Blood Spear. That weapon is very sinister. It is suspected of having the ability to devour the essence and blood of others and convert it to replenish their power."

Someone secretly reminded him.

"He has the ability to resist weakness, so he did not fall into a state of weakness."

Then someone added a comment.

Immediately afterwards, more and more psionicists surrounded him and moved closer, their hostility growing stronger. They all knew that the God-King was extremely difficult to defeat, and even if they gathered so many people together to attack, they might still fail.

Even so, they still chose to besiege the enemy. Although taking such a risk was dangerous, the corresponding rewards were enormous, and these rewards were well worth the effort.

The psionicists present weren't fools. Many of them lacked the strength to pass the trial without taking a gamble, so they decided to take the risk.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The next moment, countless cold arrows gleaming with poisonous light shot out from hidden blind spots, heading towards the Divine Lord at the core from all directions.

[Instinctive Perception]

The countless arrows that came from the shadows slowed down within his instinctive field of vision, extending their trajectory. Ye Mingqiu could easily see the trajectory and landing point of the attacks, and knew when and where these arrows would strike.

Most of the attacks were very simple, but! A few arrows had varying trajectories, indicating that these attacks were continuously manipulated and controlled by a psionicist.

"Humph!"

Ye Mingqiu snorted softly, and the blood spear in his hand glowed crimson, drawing beautiful and deadly trajectories in mid-air. The sound of metal clashing against metal, like raindrops falling, rang out continuously as countless arrows fell.

Several hidden arrows suddenly changed direction, but Ye Mingqiu anticipated them and shot them down instantly.

"Go together!"

Several figures attacked from different directions, their swords flashing and clashing in a chaotic display. Among the countless attack trajectories, only a few stood out as clear and powerful, the core attacks hidden within feints.

It’s so difficult!

Ye Mingqiu frowned. If he hadn't learned [Instinct Perception] beforehand, he would most likely have been tricked by these people. After all, their combat skills were quite good, far superior to those of ordinary psionicists.

but!

I have seen through everything!
"Bah!"

The arc of light sliced ​​through flesh and blood, revealing various sword and knife wounds on Ye Mingqiu's body. However, these wounds were all very shallow and healed extremely quickly. This kind of attack could not cause him any real damage. The only thing to pay attention to was the core hidden in the feint attack.

【Chaotic Phoenix Slayer】

Suddenly, the hidden sword light burst forth like a rainbow piercing the sun, transforming into a chaotic gust of wind that instantly pierced Ye Mingqiu's forehead, unleashing a terrifying force.

[A furious pursuit]

Ye Mingqiu swung his spear in a counterattack, directly predicting the trajectory of his opponent's attack.

"when!!"

The sword light and the blood spear collided, and a terrifying shockwave erupted, creating a giant wave-like shockwave. The sword light was suppressed by the power of the blood spear for a short time, and the man hidden under the sword light changed his expression again and again.

What kind of monster is this!

He's already used his ultimate move, and he's already exited that state, so why is he still so strong? Is his normal power this terrifying too?
"What are you waiting for? To die?!"

The swordsman roared in shock and anger.

The next moment, several level 10 hero warriors moved, swinging their weapons from all directions and slashing at Ye Mingqiu with all their might.

"Humph!"

Ye Mingqiu grunted, his health bar was instantly halved, more than 3000 health points disappeared in an instant, but his eyes remained fierce, and he continued to exert force with his injured arm.

"No! Stop!"

"boom!!"

Amid the swordsman's desperate screams, Ye Mingqiu forcibly killed him, but his own health was also reduced by more than 5,000. A large amount of blood splattered in the air, and multiple wounds left by several level 10 heroes using their ultimate abilities appeared on his body.

He turned around, his eyes flashing with bloodlust.

A terrifying aura erupted, and several level 10 warriors retreated one after another. No one dared to oppose it. Wherever the crimson gaze passed, the psionicists all gave way.

This is the power of a war tyrant!

This is Ye Mingqiu's usual raw strength! "Boom! Boom!!"

Several bolts of lightning flew from afar, accompanied by countless sharp wind blades. This was an attack used by mages and psionicists in conjunction with warriors, attempting to create a storm-like offensive to prevent Ye Mingqiu from quickly recovering his health through his constant passive ability.

Faced with the overwhelming elemental attacks, Ye Mingqiu was not afraid; he simply raised his hand.

[High-speed interrupt spellcasting]

[Magic Energy Devouring]

The pitch-black [Demonic Abyss Power] surged wildly, forming a powerful spell that devoured all the lightning and wind blades, transforming into a pitch-black cloak that surrounded Ye Mingqiu, engulfing the power of all surrounding elements and emitting a dark and terrifying aura.

It has to be said that the Magic Devouring move is incredibly useful. Without it, Ye Mingqiu would never have been able to face attacks from multiple mages with such composure.

This is a demonic spell that Tang Ruobing researched and developed overtime! It's extremely valuable!
While [Divine Power] is quite strong and can produce moves similar to Dharma Forms and weapon configurations, those moves are only effective against psionicists of the same or higher level. Against level 10 heroes who are 6 levels higher and are stuck at level 10, the effect will be much weaker.

Fundamentally, [Divine Power] is not weak, but the techniques he uses are too weak to unleash the same power as [Abyssal Power].

Unless there is a significant elemental advantage, it is generally better to use normal attacks when attacking enemies. At most, it can be used for healing or other functional purposes.

"Monster! This guy is a monster!"

The mage in the distance cursed aloud.

He had never seen a level 4 psionicist who could so casually devour the skills of a level 10 hero mage like the God Lord. This phenomenon was enough to shatter his worldview; it was something completely beyond his comprehension.

The fact that they're only now uttering their curses is already proof of their excellent personal character.

The fierce battle continues!

Nearly twenty psionicists simultaneously besieged the Divine Lord. They used their strength, skills, knowledge, and the abilities of various powerful equipment to fight him off, trying to wear down his health as steadily as possible, in an attempt to eliminate this terrifying monster in the Heavenly Gate Trial.

Reassuringly, their battle was meaningful. Although Ye Mingqiu was powerful, his resistance was also terrifying. He even killed three level 10 hero psionicists who were besieging him.

but!

His health was still whittled down!

Countless mages and archers, through meticulously planned opportunities, tried their best to interrupt his spellcasting, preventing him from using [Holy Healing] to restore his life. They did their utmost to achieve this.

0%
45%
Ye Mingqiu's health was whittled down to almost nothing, while the number of psionicists attacking him increased from nearly 20 at the beginning to more than 40.

However, despite the increase in numbers, their attack frequency did not increase significantly.

These psionicists knew that once the God-King fell, what would follow was a civil war among them. To preserve their strength as much as possible before the battle began, allowing more powerful skills to return to cooldown, was the fundamental reason they reduced their attack frequency.

"boom!!"

Ye Mingqiu violently swung his spear again, sweeping away all the psionicists around him. He looked at these people, his killing intent and hostility were crystal clear, and he counted their numbers one by one.

As others saw him facing a desperate situation, a wanton smile gradually appeared on his face. A terrifying aura of bloodlust and killing intent surged forth like a tangible storm, and a terrifying momentum swept in all directions.

He casually pulled the arrow from his arm; the arrowhead emitted a ghostly purple light, proof of its deadly poison. But the poison had no effect on Ye Mingqiu. He licked his lips, his chest heaving rapidly, and said, "Enough! Enough numbers! We're caught! Haha, hahahaha!"

The sudden burst of maniacal laughter startled the surrounding psionicists. They didn't know if the God-King was bluffing or if he had truly allied with outsiders.

They were vigilant, but dared not stop attacking, because if they stopped, the God's health bar would be fully restored in no time.

Faced with this man who has extremely high health, rapid life regeneration, self-healing ability, high attack and defense speed, and also possesses demonic magic that can devour spells, they must keep attacking.

Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain!

Just as they hesitated, a giant net of azure light fell from the sky, and several giant pillars rose from the ground, forming a huge cage. All the psionicists inside the cage were marked with azure marks for ten minutes.

Just as these Level 10 psionicists were feeling terrified, something even more despairing happened.

[Tyrant Form]

Ye Mingqiu, who had been crippled, suddenly grew in size again in a short period of time. The war tyrant who had dominated the battlefield once again revealed his true form. He laughed, and his laughter was deafening.

Even more terrifying is that his laughter also contains a skill that can intimidate the mind.

War Roar

Many psionicists with low mental strength were directly and rigidly controlled in place, forced to use control-breaking skills/items to recover. However, more importantly than this, their all attributes were reduced by 3% to 5%, resulting in a significant decrease in their overall strength.

Immediately afterwards, the skill [King's Majesty], originating from the Beast King's Crown, was unleashed.

[Notice: Attribute determination failed; all your attributes have been reduced by 15%]

In his Tyrant form, Ye Mingqiu boasts a Strength attribute of 255 and a Constitution attribute of 315, comparable to the normal attributes of a level 10 Overlord. Moreover, his Agility and Spirit attributes are also quite high. With such high four-dimensional attributes, no one can withstand the overwhelming attribute judgment of [King's Majesty].

Numbers!
It possesses a numerical beauty!
"Run!"

Suddenly, a magic-based psionicist cried out in despair, sprinting frantically. He even unleashed a burst of fireballs behind him, attempting to use the surging wind to make himself run faster.

Other psionicists also rioted and fled in various ways.

But can they succeed?

[Surge of Killing Intent]

Ye Mingqiu switched to the title of [God of Slaughter], instantly unleashing a terrifying killing intent. The blood-red energy fluctuations enveloped all the psionicists in an instant, and the powerful force originating from the will to slaughter instantly devoured all the psionicists.

Some psionicists were not good at mental attributes to begin with, and because of Ye Mingqiu's [War Roar] and [King's Majesty], 10% to 20% of their mental attributes were directly deducted. When faced with the [Killing Intent Wave] released under the mental crushing state, they instantly suffered terrifying damage.

Even more terrifying is that the Killing Intent Wave is a passively accumulated skill!
Killing Will: Killing Will accumulates for each unit killed. The stronger the Killing Will, the stronger the mental deterrent effect.

The number of units Ye Mingqiu killed
There were just too many to count!
Waves of level 10 hero psionicists fell, like groves being harvested by the Grim Reaper, perishing in the burning, endless forest.

Ye Mingqiu, the instigator of it all, raised his menacing crimson spear, revealing a tyrannical, terrifying, and murderous smile.

"boom!!!"

Above the sky
"What are you doing?! Didn't you say you were going to gang up on him? Why are you doing this?"

Besh screamed as if she had broken down, but her hands moved quickly, ready to stab him from behind at any moment. The scream was just a way to attract his attention.

How could a psychic like her be so easily swayed by something like this? It's normal for psychics to be calculating and manipulative. It's entirely within her calculations that the other party was using her to accomplish something.

After all, this is the Heavenly Gate Trial. How could the psionicists fighting here save people for no reason? This is not the mortal world or the spirit world. Dying here doesn't mean you're truly dead.

"Because I need you, and I think it's cool and fun to do this. I'm someone who goes crazy sometimes, and I just happened to meet you, so I did it." Ritsu's smile remained bright, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

"You saved me, just because you went crazy? Is that all? Really?"

Bessie screamed again, tears welling in her eyes. Her small hand reached out from the shadows and embraced the other person's body, the dagger slowly turning towards their body.

Throughout the entire process, she acted as sorrowful as a girl whose feelings had been deceived, without revealing even the slightest bit of murderous intent. She simply stared directly at Ritsu, as if trying to get a response from him.

"Bah!"

The sharp spike pierced Bessie's chest, and despair appeared on her delicate face. This was not because she was already dead, but because the dagger in her hand could not penetrate.

Dog Hole Creek was definitely keeping its distance from me!
hateful!

“You acted very well. As an assassin, your performance was quite competent,” Law replied.

"It wasn't an act. When you saved me before, I was genuinely moved. It was the first time I had ever felt that way. I've always wanted to try it, but unfortunately, I've never encountered such a situation before."

Bessie chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I never thought I'd be fooled by a man like this. Men really aren't all the same."

"is it?"

Lu lowered his eyes, his expression changing slightly. He sighed and said, "Women are all the same. Just now you put away your dagger, and then suddenly switched positions and stabbed me while you were saying those sentimental words. If I had actually believed your nonsense, I would have been dead just now."

"A heartless man."

Bessie's eyes gradually lost their luster, and she lowered her head, lifeless, as if she were already dead.

Lu released her hand, letting her fall naturally, and as she fell, intense flames gathered.

"Explosive Flame Technique".

A spectacular fireworks display exploded in mid-air, and Bessie, who had planned to fake her death and escape, was killed. Her severed arm flew and swirled in mid-air, and a middle finger could be vaguely seen pointing high.

"Humph~"

Lu chuckled and muttered to himself, "How could a truly rational mage be swayed by your words? It's one thing to fool the native inhabitants of the spirit world, but how could you possibly fool me?"

"I was fooled back in junior high!"
