A terrifying shockwave surged out, spreading through the sky and violently shoving aside the vast expanse of pink bubbles around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the tide during high tide, sweeping over the little crabs on the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the deafening roar subsided and the residual energy waves dispersed, everyone was shocked to discover that the Black Knight, under such a terrifying bombardment, showed not a single scratch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really that tough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xie Antong beside them felt a sudden, sharp pang in her heart. Data streamed frantically across her retinas, and the entire world before her eyes magnified tens of thousands of times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw clearly, beneath the cloud layer, a perfectly straight, nanoscale-thin pink ray of light, piercing through Lu Ce's body from above, right through the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous punishment was absolutely not the true final force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more like... a simple marker!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Seeing Eye in the air swerved at high speed, instantly flying into Jiang Yuan's ear nearby, transmitting the same command at a high frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, why did you have to run your mouth like that just now?! You got him killed!\" The Black Knight's voice simultaneously rang out beside Lust's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its voice now completely lacked the previous cheeky, annoying tone. Instead, it sounded like a waking dragon, roaring with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll... play a round with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the Annihilation Cannon mounted on the front of the motorcycle spewed forth a terrifying divine radiance, carrying the aura of death, and fired towards the dark clouds in the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the thunderous roar, the pink-black clouds covering the entire city were instantly blasted open, creating a massive hole. The clouds parted to either side, as if a wormhole had been punched through spacetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lust grinned, completely disregarding the thread that had pierced through his chest. He raised a hand and gently stroked the Black Knight's metallic surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very promising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan on the side also didn't hesitate in the slightest. Upon hearing Xie Antong's command in his ear, he reacted almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue light erupted. An energy shield materialized out of thin air, coalescing into a tower in the sky, anchoring itself in front of the Black Knight as a second line of defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely enough, when Xie Antong had ordered him to attack earlier, he had been full of doubt and hesitation for a long time. Now, ordered to protect, he didn't hesitate at all and still went all out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just goes to show, sometimes when your brain can't make a perfect judgment, your body's instincts will lead you to make the choice your heart truly desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Xie Antong had no time to set up any additional defenses. She knew the Soulburn Incense would likely have no effect on a God's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she chose Stimulation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously stimulating the world rank one and the world rank five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy was sucked away like from a water pump. Her face visibly paled at a rapid pace, turning ashen. Her whole body swayed in the air, unsteady, and she began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, all efforts were complete. All that remained was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Gambling with their lives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of lightning seemed to split heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying pillar of energy condensed in the sky and blasted down along the thread that had pierced Lu Ce's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That immense power pushed against the Black Knight's Annihilation Cannon, forcefully shoving it back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was Jiang Yuan's first layer of defense. The energy tower shield shattered like an eggshell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, it was the Black Knight's massive, extended frame, which also emitted the teeth-grating sound of metal fracturing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, everything, everything, was submerged within that terrifying pillar of energy, obscuring the situation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire world at that moment, it seemed only this single pillar remained, connecting heaven and earth, blazing with terrifying divine light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sound vanished. The air seemed to have been drained into a vacuum. The pink bubbles in the sky scattered and fled in panic. People could see the terror on each other's faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong seemed to shout something loudly, but no one could hear it, not even herself. Everything became like a silent film, utterly quiet and soundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan took two steps forward, but just as he was about to touch the light pillar, he was repelled by a powerful force of energy and sent flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this... the Game's Punishment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene lasted for a full minute! During those sixty seconds, everyone watched the scene of absolute silence before them, breathless and speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like an eternity, like a whole century had passed, the light pillar finally dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that remained on the ground was a bottomless, massive crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze, sunlight, everything finally reappeared, as if everyone had regained the right to breathe again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong stumbled, stood up somewhat dazedly, and took a few steps forward, approaching the giant crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one question appeared in her mind—would the Gate of Death still work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it really take effect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew this strike must be the highest lethality attack the Game could currently muster under its existing Rules!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone wanted to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he also wanted to test whether the Game could actually kill him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole world seemed to be watching that crater, anticipating any possible outcome, like watching Schrödinger's cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Jiang Yuan, whose legs were relatively better off, leapt down, jumping directly into the deep pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of air erupted from the soles of Xie Antong's shoes, accompanied by a burst of intense light, as she followed closely behind, jumping down after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding rock walls now looked nothing like rock walls;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had been scoured by high-energy particles until they were unnaturally smooth and flat, glossy as mirrors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom, amidst a pool of molten lava, a figure that already looked like a corpse lay quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body seemed to have turned to charcoal. Astonishingly, it hadn't turned to ash?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan rushed over in three steps, immediately crouched down, and with a trembling hand, felt for his neck and the area over his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart gave an inexplicable lurch. He looked at the other's face now, at that mask covered in cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple face had already reverted to being a mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, trembling, and reached out towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-02T09:03:44.044Z",1,"novelbin.me","da1c62590b61cb8481ebea569ad60d7c3a4282e591f628a695e197a4a7f7c522","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-653","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-556",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
