Chapter 305

The turbid mountain flood mud suddenly splashed out a patch of blood color, scarlet rolling.

A fountain of blood gushed!

The cages outlined by countless raindrops and the ice crystals grown from the extreme cold all collapsed and dissipated. A high-pitched, sharp hiss sounded from beneath the blood fountain. Writhing limbs shot out, struggling and sweeping, lifting Little Niu Ma up, overturning and repelling it!

The turbid current mixed with blood and mud boiled, and roots of writhing flesh stretched out, propping up a massive body, rising from within, revealing a tragic appearance.

One could vaguely distinguish the remaining car shell and frame on it, as if...

This thing was originally a car?

It was just that, after the camouflage shell fell off, the bizarre flesh compressed and hidden under the shell stretched out, just like a giant octopus. Amber giant eyes covered the head, and on the tentacles grew suckers and mouthparts covered in bone, making one's scalp tingle.

It seemed to possess a talent for camouflage, its body color constantly changing, making it difficult to detect under the cover of the storm. It was just a pity that in the massive rift that pierced its body at this moment, blood color was gushing out continuously.

In the vesicle behind the wound, a convulsing human figure could be vaguely seen.

Heavily wounded!

Spiritual quality scattered, expression horrified.

The blood-stained face was twisted, staring fixedly at Ji Jue.

Shocked and suspicious.

It was simply as if he had seen a ghost.

With a navigator in the sky attracting attention, the driver controlled the giant beast to lurk under the mountain flood mixed with massive amounts of mud and gravel, having silently moved upstream and sneaked under Ji Jue and the others' feet. The large-scale spiritual quality changes were blocked and obscured by the giant beast's talent, compensating for the biggest weakness of this composite effect of Tian Tian Yuan and Entropy, which had a huge range of influence.

It would only take a few short seconds for the entire battlefield to be completely frozen in the shackles and restraints of the storm and frost.

He thought everything was seamless, but he didn't expect that Ji Jue had the Fragrant Mirror in his arms, a piece of Heavenly Work that directly ignored appearances to observe all spiritual quality flows and read all changes. Going to such great lengths to do so much was simply a waste of effort.

Even before it was launched, Ji Jue had already calculated the location of the core by following the flow direction of the many spiritual quality anomalies...

A decisive sword strike.

Until Little Niu Ma descended from the sky, he hadn't even reacted.

Caught off guard and heavily wounded instantly, the only reason he could survive under Panying was because Panying was busy sucking on the big one outside him!

At this moment, amidst the clanging, blood light shimmered on the transparent broken blade.

Panying, which had grown another inch after being tempered again, seemed to turn into a black hole. Under the catalysis and infusion of dragon blood, it was constantly radiating attraction to all life around it, pulling a steady stream of fresh blood into the sword blade.

The giant beast, in pain from the heavy wounds, danced its tentacles, hissing, and actually dragged the blood that had flown out in mid-air back. Another tentacle waved, and suddenly the torrential rain and raging flood gathered again. Shapes of giant mouths emerged from the void and bit onto Little Niu Ma's body.

The sound of steel friction was incessant, sparks flying.

Little Niu Ma, unscathed!

At most, there were only two scratches on the composite armor that had turned into plating. Amidst the roaring engine, high heat rose throughout its body, causing the rain that invaded its body to evaporate rapidly, and the frost that grew in the joints was also completely crushed during the sprint.

Under the violent push of the engine, flame light gushed out, without any hesitation, and like a meteor, it galloped over again.

A giant axe and hammer weighing several tons swung violently, defeating layers of water curtains and ice walls, advancing proudly, not even bothering to defend, taking all the opponent's output with its face.

The frame and engine that Ji Jue had spent I don't know how many materials to re-strengthen, plus the erosion and transformation of dragon blood, and the physical property enhancement brought by fluid alchemy, had turned Little Niu Ma into a heavy-duty fortress capable of taking heavy artillery fire with its face, coupled with its innate, instinctive violent mobility, and the terrifying destructive power brought by Panying.

Can't be killed, can't be burned, can't be caught, can't be outmatched!

In a head-on confrontation, it is the true nightmare-level monster!

Spare fuel tank, spiritual quality reserve activated, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 steering assist engines activated, overload operation!

At this moment, from the blur of the storm, one could only see the flames gushing from behind and the blood light of Panying, advancing fiercely from the earth, mud, and mountain flood like bizarre binary stars, galloping like electricity!

The oncoming gale suddenly dissipated, and from the suffocating rain, it forcibly smashed out a big hole, trampling the hurricane and tearing the storm.

Boom!

The driver roared, and with the cooperation of the giant beast, infinite rain suddenly gathered and froze, an iceberg rising from the ground, completely swallowing Little Niu Ma.

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard, amidst the layers of fine cracking wails, a rift suddenly bloom and spread. Under Panying's slash, the iceberg disintegrated from the center, and the monster broke out of the cage again!

"■!!!!!!"

On the beast's face, scarlet light burst, dragon blood flowed and operated, pouring into Panying, brutally catalyzing it, causing Panying's blood light to surge again, infinite sharpness spitting and operating like a blood-colored tornado, turning into an exaggerated giant blade over ten meters long.

It ignored the angry attack of the vortex-type Chosen above the sky.

Raised it, and then...

—Slash!

【Stop】!

In an instant, all things were dead silent, and a hoarse voice resounded through heaven and earth, actually causing everything to suddenly stall.

The gale, the storm, the mountain flood, the falling giant rocks, the splashing raindrops, and even Little Niu Ma swinging its sword down in mid-air, as well as the faint light thrown by An Ning.

All paused for an instant.

Then, the flickering phantom light swallowed the driver inside the giant beast, and the Chosen disappeared into thin air without a trace.

When everything that had been still began to operate again in the next instant, the giant beast's wail soared into the sky, resounding through the mountains. Under Panying's tyrannical slash, it was split in two.

The blood light on the sword blade spread, piercing into the writhing and convulsing flesh in thousands of strands, completely draining the life and feeding it back to Little Niu Ma's engine and dragon blood.

Under the flow of blood color, the sword and the beast became increasingly violent.

Hissing and looking around, its gaze landed in the distance, on that bizarre vehicle that appeared out of thin air, the logo on the vehicle — New Origin!

In the moment of certain death, rescue arrived...

Right in the back seat, the heavily wounded giant beast rider's face was pale, his expression convulsing, and he hadn't yet recovered from the terror of near-death, breathing heavily.

"Th-thank you..."

"Shut up—"

The New Origin driver and navigator looked solemn, looking at Ji Jue and An Ning in the storm with full vigilance, and even the steel monster that was running over with its sword drawn.

When looking from afar in the data and records, it only felt like nothing much.

But when facing the enemy in person, one could perceive this terrifying oppressive force... It was not because of that steel monster, nor because of the hunter following beside it, but precisely because of Ji Jue himself, who had always been faintly looked down upon because he was an artisan!

That gaze overlooking from above had even been cast toward this place long before they came through the air!

The change in space had actually been detected long before it started...

"The driver is a Chosen of the Eternal Gate?"

Ji Jue narrowed his eyes: "And another one... a composite matrix?"

"Gao's 【White Carriage】, Zhou's 【Jade Law】."

An Ning said: "Gao's 【White Carriage】 is one of the few inheritances of the Eternal Gate outside the Star Core Society.

The other 【Jade Law】 is a composite matrix of Ether and Metamorphosis. Brother Ji Jue, be careful. Those 'Envoys' can modify reality by speaking. Although there are many restrictions, they are very troublesome."

The meaning of White Carriage is a luxurious carriage. The Chosen of the Eternal Gate have always been rare. Being able to open another lineage outside the Star Core Society is naturally not to be underestimated. The Jade Law Envoy's ability to directly speak and modify reality, coupled with the vortex-type and that injured entropy-type... it will probably be troublesome next.

But after the opponent appeared at this moment, they actually didn't take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, but instead stood still in place.

Waiting?

What are they waiting for?

What else could they be waiting for!

In the short few seconds of stalemate, Ji Jue's expression changed slightly. Without thinking, he waved his hand, and the sprinting Little Niu Ma suddenly turned its direction, pouncing toward Ji Jue.

At the same time, Ji Jue's raised five fingers suddenly closed.

The earth suddenly shook, mud rolled and boiled, and flames gushed out.

It was not just the bombs remaining from the original trap, but also the carriage left in place, which suddenly opened at this moment. A massive missile launcher rose slowly, and then, without hesitation, it spat out flame light.

Instantly, dozens of missiles were tilted out. The violent flame light of phlogiston and the air waves rose from the ground, blocking the space between each other. Massive amounts of rain were evaporated, turning into thick fog.

The gushing flame light raged and expanded suddenly, the air waves overlapping and colliding, triggering an earth-shattering loud noise, attracting I don't know how many disaster beasts wandering in the distance.

The destructive flames blocked the space between them. The New Origin and Northern Territory Chosen couldn't even react in time, and Little Bull Horse had already turned back into a massive vehicle, its limbs ejecting, carrying Ji Jue and the others as they galloped out.

At this time, a sigh sounded from a hundred miles away.

"The reaction is really fast."

Yue Chen on the hillside sighed softly.

Amidst the washing of the rain, it fell on that indifferent face, still without any expression.

Separated by a hundred miles, across the obstruction of layers of mountains, relying on the coordinates provided by New Origin, he had already locked onto the enemy's position based on the faint tremors.

And, he had been building up momentum for a long time...

The torrential rain fell continuously, but was captured by the terrifying gravity originating from the Wasteland, swirling into the vortex in his palm. Massive amounts of matter were constantly compressed, emitting a terrifying loud noise that made one's teeth ache.

Soil, rain, rocks, and even bones, all matter followed the blessing of the Wasteland, gathering toward the center. In the end, in the void above his palm, a pitch-black sphere the size of a fist was formed...

—Ultra-dense matter!

It's a pity, just a little bit off.

However, it doesn't matter. Such a cunning opponent is just right for a long-lost, all-out effort!

The ultra-dense matter weighing tens of millions of tons suddenly shook, and as his five fingers contracted, it seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. Following Yue Chen's movements, it slowly lifted.

Across these distant layers of mountains and waters, from a hundred miles away, Yue Chen took a silent deep breath, and then, assumed a throwing posture. Metallic light appeared on his muscles, rubbing against each other, emitting a series of sharp sounds.

A massive outline appeared around his body, towering and high, straight into the clouds, headless and neckless, but with all four limbs complete... This is the tyrannical spirit born from pure matter. The so-called, 【Giant】!

At this moment, the Giant throws!

Amidst the roaring explosion, the ultra-dense matter suspended in mid-air broke through the air.

Then, just in the sprint in mid-air, the matter that had lost pressure exploded, expanded, and spread. Countless amounts of matter gushed out and manifested, turning into a tyrannical jet.

It pierced through layers of obstructing mountains with destructive force, calmly crossed a hundred miles, and descended from the sky.

Swallowing the entire battlefield.

Countless dust and gravel radiated out, like shrapnel, completely piercing the entire Dog-Leg Mountain and cutting it in half at the waist. The Chicken-Foot Mountain on the other side was also riddled with holes, collapsing amidst the roar, falling into the mountain flood, and blocking the river channel.

Amidst the shaking of the earth and mountains, the terrain of the two mountains suddenly changed, collapsing and closing in, burying everything, and turning into a towering mound...

The wreckage and fragments in the battlefield all disappeared.

Along with the battlefield that had just existed.

"..."

In the New Origin car, the Jade Law Envoy watched the scene, even though he had sent the signal and specified the plan earlier, he couldn't help but be stunned: "This... this is the Giant?"

"That guy has become stronger again."

Not a single detail missed, not a single content overlooked!

The White Carriage rider sighed, "It's a pity."

The opponent's reaction speed was too fast.

The moment the ultra-dense projection descended from the sky, Ji Jue had already escaped out of the strike range. When the overwhelming hurricane rose, that bizarre spider battle vehicle had already leaped into the air, using the air currents and collisions of the explosion, and I don't know where it had escaped to.

The moment he sensed that they wanted to stall for time, he withdrew without hesitation, not even having a shred of thought of lingering in the fight... Just how vigilant must one be to be so suspicious and fearful of every sound?

It is too outrageous.

Slap!

The sound of landing rang out.

The vortex-type Chosen soaring in the sky arrived, urgently rescuing the heavily wounded teammate — the treatment method was simple and crude, directly digging out his own flesh and filling it into the wound torn by Panying. Soon, the flesh was pieced together amidst writhing, without any scars.

Life was replenished, but the erosion and residue of blood light on the soul, as well as the destroyed matrix, still needed time to recover slowly.

"I picked up a life, thank you."

On the face of the entropy-type Chosen, only now did a little blood color recover, and he could barely stand still.

"Why didn't you follow the previous plan and wait for us to arrive?" Envoy Zhou Lun questioned: "Lu Yang, what on earth are you thinking!"

"Get it straight, I am not your subordinate! Don't babble at me here!"

The vortex-type Chosen Lu Yang's expression turned gloomy: "The electromagnetic influence is so great, and the distance is far, I can't receive any damn signal, how can I contact you?

If I found that guy and didn't strike first, where would I find him after he ran away? Should I wait like Tiancheng, waiting to be defeated one by one?"

"... You think you found him?"

Zhou Lun's cold expression twitched, restraining the urge to mock, and squeezed the sound out from between his teeth: "I felt the waves of the spiritual quality riot from hundreds of miles away!

If he really wanted to make a move, why would he make such a big commotion? Is it the first or second time that guy has fished? Can't you see that he is deliberately luring you!"

Lu Yang's expression changed slightly, and he was just about to retort, but then, he froze in place.

His pupils lit up.

Not just him, at that moment, everyone's pupils were illuminated.

By the... that came galloping from the long night storm!

—Flying Light!

From outside the battlefield, in another direction where Little Niu Ma flew away, An Ning's figure appeared for an instant.

It was just an instant, and she erupted with a strike that no one expected!

When everyone subconsciously thought that An Ning and Ji Jue had already fled and withdrawn, few people would think... whether there was a problem with the number of passengers in the car.

At this moment, from the darkness under the light, six kilometers away, the hunter pointed the flying light, galloping over!

The moment that point of flying light was detected, death was already close at hand.

Amidst the incomparable terrifying speed, countless fine light spots fell, like dew and electricity, bubbles flickering, and a pitch-black iron piece was already close at hand.

It locked onto the weakest entropy-type Chosen among them...

Caught off guard, there was simply no time to make any reaction.

The only thing they could rely on was instinct!

Lu Yang's body suddenly expanded, like an explosion, scarlet gushing, blood color proliferating, turning from a human shape into a wall of flesh, blocking in front of everyone.

But in the next instant, the wall of blood and bone also suddenly collapsed and was pierced.

At most, it only bought this one instant.

At that crucial moment, Envoy Zhou Lun finally opened his mouth.

It was not the 【Stop】 that forcibly shackled everything, not the 【Fix】 that was tit-for-tat with the Bai Lu technique, but a way to create effects in the fastest way with a light and simple method...

【Turn】!

Bang!

Amidst the explosion, the entropy-type Chosen fell backward, convulsing violently.

Blown away by the gale raised by the explosion of the aftermath, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up. The violence of the power contained in that seemingly thin flying light was simply unimaginable.

While encountering deflection and trajectory loss, the power erupted.

Finally, the iron piece narrowly brushed past his shoulder and flew into the darkness behind him.

Leaving only a distant miserable hiss and the terrified panting of the attacked.

Still alive!

Zhou Lun's mouth corners curled up subconsciously, wanting to look back, but he felt something was wrong, and his gaze looked toward the source of the flying light.

An Ning had already disappeared without a trace.

One strike without success, flying a thousand miles away, this was the An family's style, no need to be surprised.

But on the straight trajectory where the flying light passed, there were still scattered light spots flickering, remaining, swaying in the gale, and gradually dissipating.

Strange.

The technique of flying light is the most skillful and pure, and there shouldn't be any residue at all...

Wait—

Was it really Ji Jue sitting in that car that left?!

In that fleeting instant, when confusion arose in his heart, fear and shock followed. He subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to roar.

But what he saw in the end was a wisp of flash light that lit up at the end of the darkness.

【Humidity correction adjustment complete】

【Wind speed calculation finished】

【Ballistic trajectory lock complete】

In the blink of an eye, under the flickering indicator light, massive amounts of parameter calculations were completed. The heavy sniper rifle, over two meters long, nailed to the base bracket in the rock, finally made the last fine-tuning.

No need to pull the trigger, no need for instructions or orders.

From Ji Jue's overlooking, the machine's spiritual quality made the decision.

—【Fire】!

The primer was ignited, the scorching shell casing lifted, flew in the air, and fell into a puddle, hissing, while the bullet in the chamber had already broken through the air!

The crystal-clear bullet soared in the still world.

From the gaps in the storm, it traveled lightly, forward, piercing through nine kilometers of wind and rain, and under the guidance of the parameters brought by the dancing residual light, it drew a slightly curved arc, straight forward.

Those dancing and dissipating residual lights exploded silently and spread, clearing a straight path without any water droplet obstruction on the trajectory where the flying light passed.

Like a guide, opening the trajectory.

In the sprint, the crystal-clear bullet peeled off layer by layer like an onion, the fine and complex spiritual quality circuits fell off and exploded, and in an instant, hundreds of corrections and assists caused the bullet's terrifying speed to soar again.

Until, it came rushing toward him.

The defense that hadn't had time to emerge in the void suddenly shattered and disintegrated, and with the explosion and cracking of the warhead, a small crack was chiseled out.

Finally, wrapped in layers of crystals, the sword blade fragments peeled off from Panying were unsheathed again.

A point of blood light illuminated Zhou Lun's ferocious face.

And then...

Slap!

After the momentary whistling, the gale and rain descended again, and the shouts that couldn't be sent out spread in the wind and dissipated without a trace.

In the dead silence, Zhou Lun's expression twitched for an instant, as if mocking himself.

He grinned and smiled.

A wind blew from afar, passing through the penetrating gap from his forehead to the back of his head, carrying the smell of blood and death, blowing to a place where the living cannot go.

Just like that, Envoy Zhou Lun fell backward.

No more sound.
