Chapter 73: Ancient Giants Once Split Heaven and Earth (Please Follow! Please Follow!)

“Oh! So your relationship with your sibling isn’t good, is it? Could it be…?”

Feeling the overwhelming hatred in Zhao Ying’s gaze, Arrot’s eyes swept over her, a strange smile twisting his anthropomorphic wolf face.

As a member of a Western assassin clan, he knew just how twisted some of his own family could be—even himself, a full-blown pervert.

In the real world, Arrot had once delighted in torturing and killing adorable little girls with extreme cruelty, including the youngest daughter of his own clan lord, who, in a way, was also his sister.

Because of that, he was hunted across the globe by the forces she controlled, and only after being cornered in Yinzhou did he enter the Main God Space.

On the other side, Zhao Ying’s expression had turned utterly icy; her eyes went momentarily blank as she entered First-Level Gene Lock.

Her right hand, gripping the dagger, slashed hard against the crystal-like claws, sending out blinding sparks, momentarily disrupting Arrot’s wolf vision.

Next, he felt emptiness ahead—Zhao Ying’s figure had vanished, replaced by the flashing interplay of sword and blade.

Arrot, no doubt a top-tier assassin of his Western clan, remained calm despite the sudden danger, instantly activating his own First-Level Gene Lock, boosting his reaction speed and mobility a notch.

Simultaneously, his ten crystal-clawed fingers whipped through the air, leaving trails invisible to the naked eye, clashing continuously with the incoming sword and blade light.

Unfortunately, his response was rushed, and Cheng Xiao, wielding the dual-blade technique, had mastered the true essence of martial arts—hand-to-hand combat, he could decisively overpower the real-world Arrot, even after his werewolf transformation.

In mere seconds, Arrot’s body was riddled with wounds, each one deep enough to expose bone, sending chills down the spine.

A flash of mad fury flickered in his yellow wolf eyes—just as Arrot prepared to go berserk, his neck suddenly grew heavy: Zhao Ying had landed on his back, raising her dagger and slashing straight down onto his spine.

Arrot roared, his body swelling again, but a powerful mental assault struck his mind, leaving it blank for a moment and shattering his berserk rhythm.

Is this… a psychic attack?!

Arrot realized the possibility—a surge of dread gripped him, and he tried to flee despite his wounds.

But it was already too late.

*Splat*————!!

Blood sprayed, but the wound wasn’t deep—Zhao Ying’s goal had already been achieved.

In the instant Arrot’s mind went blank, her two slender fingers plunged straight into the wound, then tore upward with brutal force—amid a piercing wolf howl, she ripped out a section of his spine.

This blow, coming while Arrot was still dazed, struck him like lightning; even his werewolf resilience couldn’t recover—he was completely unable to dodge.

As a martial artist, Cheng Xiao would never miss such an opening—he swung his Adamantium alloy longsword with full force.

The next second, a massive werewolf head flew into the sky, rolling to the ground seconds later, its eyes utterly lifeless.

At the same time, the Main God’s notification chimed in Cheng Xiao’s ear.

【Killed one enemy team member. Zhongzhou Team’s current score: +2. Reward points earned: 4,000…】

【Killing a team member unlocked Gene Lock. Reward: One B-rank subplot, 7,000 reward points…】

“Whoa! The captain was right—this was a big fish indeed!”

Watching their formidable foe finally decapitated, Cheng Xiao exhaled sharply, reverting to his usual unserious demeanor as he grinned at Zhao Ying, who was walking over.

But Zhao Ying ignored him entirely—she glanced in one direction, muttered something under her breath, then turned and walked toward other battlefields.

…

“Damn it! What the hell is going on with the Zhongzhou Team? Besides that monster just now, how come there are so many strong ones? Where the hell did they get all these reward points—is the Main God their family business?!”

Shiva Gantian’s face was utterly grim—he’d assumed the previous monster was chasing after the West Sea Team’s trash, and that he himself had pinned down another Zhongzhou strongman, while the rest of his team could pick off the enemy one by one with Arrot’s help.

But the opposite happened—they became the ones picked off one by one.

How long had they fought? Another team member was dead already. The Main God’s penalty notification came again—now at -7, meaning a loss of 14,000 reward points.

Not even the other Yinzhou team members could cover such a massive deficit—not even his own personal stash…

“Damn! Damn! Damn it all!!!”

Shiva Gantian felt himself nearing madness—he mentally commanded the dual-headed cobra he’d exchanged for a B-rank subplot, ordering it to kill the enemy at any cost.

But though the cobra obeyed instantly, unleashing torrents of flame and lightning from its two gaping maws onto Zheng Zha, the effect was negligible.

Zheng Zha did nothing but activate his Second-Level Gene Lock to dodge rapidly; even when struck by fire or lightning, he simply consumed vampire energy to activate the vibranium armor’s defense runes, rendering the attacks useless in short bursts.

Zheng Zha himself was deeply confused.

He’d sensed this Yinzhou bald team leader was strong, yet here he was—hiding behind the Buddha Wheel’s golden light or commanding that snake to launch feeble attacks. What the hell was going on?

Was he just toying with him? Or was he saving some massive technique?

Zheng Zha had no idea—this was simply Shiva Gantian’s normal level.

The dual-headed cobra he’d exchanged was called the “Brahma Cobra,” a B-rank item capable of evolving up to six heads, theoretically reaching power comparable to a Fourth-Level Initiate.

But those who know, know—evolution means future potential. Right now, it was nothing.

A dual-headed Brahma Cobra was at best Second-Level, and the weakest tier of that rank—maybe it could fight the same-level disgrace from the original novel, but how could it possibly stand against Zheng Zha, who had enhanced his vampire count’s mutant bloodline, unlocked Second-Level Gene Lock, and wielded nearly all C-rank or higher equipment and skills?

*Crack!*

A clear snapping sound came from behind—Shiva Gantian’s pupils shrank. He turned to see the once-bright Buddha Wheel now cracked with a fine fissure—its structural limit had been reached, on the verge of breaking.

How much longer could it hold?

Three minutes? One minute?!

No—he still had a chance!

If he devoured the remaining Yinzhou team members and sacrificed them to the Brahma Cobra, he could evolve it to five heads—no, even four heads would give him a chance to turn the tide…

*BOOM*——————!!

At that moment, a deafening explosion shattered his ears—his mind went numb. When he regained awareness, he saw the surrounding Buddha light shatter like a mirror, and the Buddha Wheel behind him split cleanly in two.

Meanwhile, three kilometers away, in a patch of grass, Zero, through the scope of his Gao Si sniper rifle, watched the scene—and his usually cold lips curled into a faint smile…

“Lotus… Blazing Blade!!”

Sensing the complete collapse of the defense, Zheng Zha roared, his body engulfed in blazing crimson flames as he raised his battle-axe and brought it down once more—a blinding streak of fire.

The dual-headed cobra instinctively shielded Shiva Gantian, hurling its body in front of him.

In that instant, Shiva’s vision blurred—he seemed to see an ancient colossal god, gazing down upon him, slowly raising a hand to deliver a blow that split heaven and earth.

“BOOM*————————！！！！”
