Chapter 240: Long time no see, Brother Zhui Kong (Please vote for monthly tickets

All things are silent, leaving only emptiness behind.

After a while, on the land that had completely turned into scorched earth, ripples like wrinkles suddenly spread through the space.

Immediately following, a black crack about five meters long suddenly emerged, expanding like the opening of an abyss, and several figures walked out from within.

Zhao Hao, Shokuhou Misaki, Yakumo Yukari, Uchiha Madara, Aizen Sosuke, Whitebeard, Acnologia, Gilgamesh... and the clone Zhao Zhui Kong.

These powerhouses who had fought against Wu Xian and the Zhongzhou Team not long ago appeared one after another, each of them exuding a full boss aura, giving the impression of fast-forwarding to the final showdown.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Because of Boros's intervention, the Zhongzhou Team's whereabouts had been completely exposed, and on their own side, they now had the combat power to contend with and even defeat the opponent's strongest, so no matter how one looked at it, now was the best time to strike.

After all, Shokuhou Misaki's current mental strength was temporarily increased; once the 12-hour amplification period passed, she would revert to her original state, and at that time, the entire Donghai Team would be exposed under the eyes of the opponent's mental power user.

Not to mention Zhao Hao, but the other Donghai Team members who had already hidden would, in all likelihood, be found by the opponent and controlled to commit suicide, thereby causing the Donghai Team to lose a large number of points.

If things really turned out that way, then even if they could eventually wipe out the Zhongzhou Team, the Donghai Team's... or more accurately, Zhao Hao's gains would inevitably shrink significantly, which was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Fortunately, the current situation was excellent. As long as Boros could hold back that ridiculously powerful reincarnator on the other side, their side would have an overwhelming advantage in both the quantity and quality of Fourth Stage combat power, and it could basically be considered a sure win.

Thinking this, Zhao Hao looked at the extremely eye-catching phantom of the phoenix in the distance, already calculating in his heart the reward points and side plots he could obtain after this team battle ended. He found that after fulfilling his promises to the group members, he would have a complete opportunity to carry out an S-rank bloodline enhancement.

Once he broke through the Third Stage genetic lock in the future, perhaps he would have the qualifications to challenge the Fourth Stage, and he would no longer have to pretend to be mysterious all day, worrying about being slapped to death by these villain bosses in the chat group.

"Kid, where is that person? I don't feel any aura that makes me excited. You... don't tell me you're playing me?"

Just as Zhao Hao was full of confidence and looking forward to the future, Boros's voice filled with killing intent suddenly rang in his ears, instantly pulling him back to reality like a basin of cold water poured over his head.

"Of course not!"

Resisting the fear in his heart, Zhao Hao explained in as calm a tone as possible: "Lord Boros must have already seen that video file. Aizen and Whitebeard were no match for that person at all and were easily defeated.

And according to the group leader's estimation, that person has at least the strength above an ordinary demigod. In the entire chat group, only you, my lord, have the confidence to contend with them. If it weren't for this, the group leader wouldn't have specifically invited you to descend into this world."

After saying all this, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Hao's forehead, fearing that this battle maniac would unleash his ultimate move if they disagreed.

So much so that he completely failed to notice that Yakumo Yukari and Aizen, standing behind him, both had their lips curled, with unspeakable playfulness and mockery hidden in their eyes.

"Um... the Zhongzhou Team powerhouse that Zhao Jun mentioned doesn't seem to be here."

At this moment, Shokuhou Misaki raised her hand weakly to speak. She noticed Boros's single eye suddenly looking at her, and her body trembled, but after a moment, she gathered her courage and said:

"Although the Zhongzhou Team's mental power user is very strong, they were distracted just now in order to block Lord Boros's attack, which allowed me to see some things... That Zhongzhou Team powerhouse seems to have left Egypt temporarily to explore treasures in a mysterious ruin."

"Left Egypt? How is this possible? Could it be that they used some kind of special item!"

Zhao Hao said in surprise, while at the same time curious about what kind of treasure could make that person ignore even the team battle. Wasn't he afraid that they would launch a surprise attack on the Zhongzhou Team while he was away?

"Is that so..."

Boros muttered to himself, then looked at the fearful Shokuhou Misaki and said coldly: "The specific location of that guy?"

"... Sorry, that's all I can detect at the moment."

Saying this, Shokuhou Misaki hid behind Zhao Hao, wanting to avoid Boros's gaze. However, at this moment, her expression suddenly changed, and she shouted: "Be careful! They have already..."

Without needing Shokuhou Misaki's reminder, everyone present felt a huge pressure rushing towards them, and the clear chirping of birds rang in their ears.

"It's her!"

Gilgamesh's expression turned ferocious in an instant. Golden ripples unfolded overwhelmingly behind him, and a strange petal-shaped shield appeared in front of him.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first to be attacked was not the strongest Boros, nor Shokuhou Misaki, who was a mental power user, but Yakumo Yukari, who had been standing at the back of the team, silently protecting everyone.

Buzz buzz buzz—

A black gap opened suddenly. Yakumo Yukari, who had already sensed the crisis, made the decision to run away at the first opportunity, while also using her other ability.

"Boundary of Fast and Slow!"

The power of boundaries is the unique power of the Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari, an ability that can fundamentally subvert everything in the world, and to a certain extent, can even affect the concepts of space-time and reality.

For example, the "Boundary of Fast and Slow" that Yakumo Yukari was using at this moment could slow down the enemy's speed while accelerating her own, which also gave her, who was not good at close-quarters combat, the ability to maneuver with top fighters.

But the problem was, the situation she was facing this time had nothing to do with speed.

Slap!

A fair white palm suddenly appeared, as if ignoring spatial distance, and slapped Yakumo Yukari on the shoulder just before she was about to fall into the crack.

A vast mental power struck suddenly, forcibly freezing her body and mind. Before she could break free, flames symbolizing life and destruction erupted instantly, directly annihilating Yakumo Yukari's body, leaving only a pile of ashes floating in the air.

Youkai Sage—Yakumo Yukari, dead!

Buzz————!!!

At the same time, clusters of black squares resembling mosaics emerged from thin air under the feet of the people in the chat group.

Caught off guard, everyone who was briefly suppressed by mental power fell into them one after another, and the black mosaics closed accordingly. Only Boros and Zhao Hao, who had broken free from the mental restraint with Shokuhou Misaki's help, remained at the scene.

"What on earth... is going on?"

Staring blankly at the pile of ashes remaining on the ground, a drop of cold sweat slid down Zhao Hao's temple, and an extremely ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Clang————!!!

In the dim space where the gloomy wind whistled, the clashing sound of metal rang out suddenly.

Feeling the terrifying power transmitted through his arm, the clone Zhao Zhui Kong's pupils shrank. He looked at the exquisite face in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night with some surprise, his expression frozen for a moment.

"Although you are just a clone, I still want to say... long time no see, Zhao Zhui Kong."

Zhao Yingkong's originally black eyes had turned into the blue-gold beast pupils like those of a Golden-Horned Behemoth in animation, exuding a chilling coldness and indifference.

"Or, would you rather hear me call you Brother Zhui Kong?"
