Chapter 120

The ground trembled violently under the Tyrannosaurus Rex's charge, gravel flying in all directions. Each step of this Colossus left deep dents in the earth, its momentum unstoppable as it lunged at Sakazuki.

A strange blue light suddenly flickered on its claws, like leaping arcs of electricity, emitting heart-pounding energy waves as it slammed down at Sakazuki.

Sakazuki's brow furrowed slightly, his right arm instantly covered in a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki. He threw a fierce punch, colliding violently with the Tyrannosaurus Rex's claws.

"Boom!"

A deafening collision sound echoed all around, shockwaves spreading outward like ripples.

The next second, Sakazuki swiftly sidestepped to dodge, while his right fist shot out, scorching magma stabbing toward the Tyrannosaurus Rex's neck like a sharp sword.

However, the Tyrannosaurus Rex reacted quickly, its huge claw sweeping across to block this fatal blow.

With a loud "Boom!", magma and bone claw collided, emitting a piercing hiss. Scorching heat filled the air, and the ground was baked red by the high temperature.

Sakazuki furrowed his brow, his figure flashing, instantly arriving at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's side, in its blind spot. His speed was pushed to the extreme, almost like instantaneous movement in ordinary people's eyes.

However, just as he was about to launch an attack, the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly turned its head, blue light appearing deep in its throat, a thick laser beam instantly lighting up.

Sakazuki frowned slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping over the Tyrannosaurus Rex's left eye. There flickered a strange red light, exactly like the light in Heitong's eyes.

"Is she controlling it to provide vision?" This thought flashed through Sakazuki's mind.

His gaze suddenly turned sharp, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Too slow. Dead things should just lie on the ground!"

"Boom!"

Sakazuki's fist directly slammed into the Tyrannosaurus Rex's bloody maw. Fist and laser collided, emitting a deafening explosion.

The powerful impact instantly suppressed the laser, pouring back down along the Tyrannosaurus Rex's throat.

The next moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head suddenly swelled, like a bursting balloon, shattered bones, flesh, and scorching magma flying in all directions.

"Is this your trump card?" Sakazuki snorted disdainfully.

However, just as Sakazuki thought the battle was over, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's remaining body suddenly surged up, its tail whipping toward him like a steel whip.

"What?!"

Sakazuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hastily raised his arms to block.

A dull impact sound rang out, Sakazuki was knocked back step by step by this sudden blow, two deep grooves plowed into the ground beneath his feet.

Sakazuki steadied himself and looked up. At this moment, a strange blood mist spread. The Tyrannosaurus Rex's remaining body actually began to regenerate at a visible speed.

Even more heart-pounding, rune-like red patterns began to appear on its bones, emitting a suffocating pressure.

Sakazuki's gaze quickly turned toward Heitong in the distance.

She was now emaciated beyond human shape, her skin withered like tree bark, like a dried corpse. But her one intact eye flashed with a mad light, staring fixedly at the battlefield.

Sakazuki's gaze turned cold, and he instantly made a decision: finish it quickly.

"Kill you first!" Sakazuki growled lowly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

His figure instantly turned into a Body Flicker, rushing toward Heitong. Scorching magma surged around him, the air twisted by high temperature, emitting a humming tremor.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's remaining body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling blood light. The next instant, countless blood-red threads like a Spider Web rapidly spread outward, instantly covering the entire Battlefield.

Sakazuki's figure suddenly stalled, as if trapped in some invisible mire.

"Cough cough..."

In the distance, Heitong spat out a mouthful of blood, a strange smile curling at the corner of her mouth, her withered lips wriggling: "You can't escape the Domain of the Dead." Strange blood-red threads enveloped the entire Space, like a huge Spider Web, wrapping Sakazuki in the middle.

Suddenly Sakazuki frowned, feeling a bone-chilling cold wherever the spider silk touched his body, as if something was devouring his life force.

"Mere tricks." Sakazuki snorted coldly, magma all over his body instantly erupting, the high temperature burning the surrounding threads with crackling sounds.

At this moment, a heaven-shaking roar came. The Tyrannosaurus Rex's huge body broke through the Blood Mist, lunging at Sakazuki. Its huge claw wrapped in blood light, tearing through the air straight at Sakazuki's face.

However, facing this terrifying blow capable of cleaving a Skyscraper in half, Sakazuki remained motionless.

"Then let me see—"

Sakazuki slowly raised his right fist. In an instant, pitch-black Armament Haki like ink covered his entire arm like a tide. Scorching magma boiled and surged under the wrapping of Haki.

"How many times can you revive it!"

A deafening explosion echoed across the Battlefield. The Tyrannosaurus Rex's left arm instantly shattered under this terrifying impact, bones turning into countless fragments flying in all directions.

However, in the blink of an eye, those fragments actually recombined at a visible speed, forming a complete bone structure, attacking again.

At this time, in the Ruins in the distance.

Will lay among the pile of rubble, unconscious. His armor was covered in cracks, but still faintly shining, sustaining his life.

In the Ruins in the distance, Will was in a state of unconsciousness. Suddenly, a faint voice entered his ears.

"Will."

This call was like a thin thread, pulling Will's consciousness back from the darkness.

"Cough cough." Will coughed violently, his mouth full of the taste of blood.

He tried to get up, but tearing pain in his abdomen left him unable to move. If not for the armor on his body still supporting him, he would probably have lost his life.

Will endured the intense pain, slowly turning his neck, looking toward the sound. Sailu lay in the Ruins not far away, covered in blood, her Mechanical Arm completely destroyed, leaving only scattered metal fragments.

At this moment, Will caught sight of another scene out of the corner of his eye, his heart stopping for an instant, an unbearable...

It was Heitong.

At this moment, she no longer looked human at all. Her body was shriveled like a dried corpse, her skin covered in terrifying wrinkles, as if it would crack at any moment.

"Will, take Heitong and leave here," Sailu said with difficulty, opening her mouth, her voice weak and hoarse: "In my current state, I'm afraid I can't run." Will smiled bitterly and shook his head. The injury to his abdomen made it difficult even to stand up, let alone take Heitong and escape.

At this moment, Will noticed Sailu's gaze move slightly, as if signaling something.

Following her gaze, he saw Lan's body lying quietly in the Ruins not far away, surrounded by deathly silence.

In an instant, Will understood Sailu's meaning. Lan's Teigu "Ten Thousand Li Flight" might be their only hope of escaping from here.

But since Teigu were created, no one could use two Teigu at the same time.

"Cough cough..." Sailu said softly: "I believe you can..."

"I can't abandon any of you," Will gritted his teeth, "I swear I will take both of you away from here."

Sailu forced out a smile, but madness shone in her eyes. "No, Will," her voice cold and resolute, "this is my final battlefield."
