Chapter 1109: Reappearance of

Su Yang takes the punch head‑on, lets out a muffled hum and retreats.

Seeing the opponent's budding Retreat, Cheng Ji's smile deepens, "Finally know you're scared?"

Su Yang's attention is completely not on Cheng Ji.

His mind is filled with the whole sequence of events.

At first he thought 'Rebirth' was exclusive to the Eye Monster.

That is his Innate Talent.

Now it seems the answer exceeds Cognition.

This Innate Talent is not exclusive to the Eye Monster.

But a player is pulling the strings behind!

That therefore means…

That night on Di Liu Shan, the 'Rebirth' was certainly not caused by the Strange Man.

All his deeds are merely a sleight of eye!

"Wrong!"

Su Yang suddenly perceives a clue.

"If 'Rebirth' is Gao Zhiyi's Talent Entry, that means she must have been on the scene then!"

"But Yue Lan did not Vision Perception her Silhouette."

"So…"

"The originator is not her!"

"But there is another person!"

At this thought, Su Yang immediately looks around, his gaze searching.

But before he can make sense of it, Cheng Ji appears behind him like a wraith.

"Facing me yet daring to be distracted, seems you're not ordinarily confident."

Bad!

Su Yang's hair stands on end, and subconsciously throws a swinging punch behind him.

However, contrary to his wish, the attack flails into empty air.

When he looks back again, Cheng Ji's fist is already near his face.

"Bang!"

Su Yang suddenly feels dizzy and his eyes go blurry.

This barrage directly knocks him completely off balance.

Cheng Ji, seeing this, stomps Su Yang heavily onto the ground with a foot.

Then he launches a storm‑like barrage of punches at him.

"Bang bang…"

Punches like raindrops keep falling, Su Yang grits his teeth to resist.

"Is this force enough for your pleasure?" Cheng Ji roars with a wild laugh, his eyes blood‑red.

Su Yang finds the gap in his attacks, springs up forcefully, and kicks him back.

"Huh~" Su Yang lowers his gaze and sees a barely noticeable crack appearing in the Armor on his chest.

He then lifts his gaze, staring at Cheng Ji charging like a mad dog, and a Crazy thought sprouts in his mind—

"Could it be that I must again perform Demon Fusion?"

This is the choice he most does not wish to face.

Reaching this point means he will enter a prolonged period of Weakness.

If he cannot eliminate all enemies within that duration.

Then any player could take his life.

At present Su Yang still hasn't identified the holder of the 'Rebirth' Innate Talent.

The opponent surely anticipated this step, knowing that a sudden appearance would inevitably be caught by Su Yang.

Thus they only dare to act from behind.

"Still knows how to avoid my edge," Su Yang sneers inwardly.

So the question arises—

If he does not perform Demon Fusion, dealing with Cheng Ji after 'Rebirth' will be extremely difficult.

It might even be irredeemably catastrophic.

"Yellow River's Water Comes from the Sky!"

Suddenly, a light chant interrupts Su Yang's train of thought.

He sees the Blood River beneath his feet suddenly converge and rise straight into the sky.

Then, under everyone's gaze, the Blood River surges directly toward Su Yang.

"What is that?" the crowd exclaims in shock.

The shock isn't limited to them; Su Yang's Pupil suddenly contracts.

"Wah la!"

The Blood River rushes past Su Yang at extreme speed.

Accompanied by a sizzle, his Armor appears to be continuously corroded as if by a violent acidic substance.

Strangest of all, this Blood River even acts like a swamp, trapping Su Yang tightly within it.

"Could it be… Zhao Chenglin?!" Su Yang jerks his head up.

Sure enough, on the flat ground not far away, a familiar silhouette came, one hand behind his back, silently watching.

His eyes flickered with a deep, resentful poison.

"Su Yang, give me back my life!" Zhao Chenglin roared, his fingertips touching the air, sketching the scene of a skyscraper.

In the next instant, the crumbling buildings around suddenly "came to life".

They rose up, gathered into shape, and then abruptly hurled themselves at Su Yang.

Seeing this, Ximen Zhirou's heart suddenly rose to his throat, "Boss!!"

Su Yang struggled with all his might, but at that moment two massive hands suddenly entangled him.

"Don't think about running." Cheng Ji's voice echoed beside his ear.

Su Yang's heart tightened, he gritted his teeth and unleashed all his power.

Rolling black smoke billowed out, and the Demon within seemed to awaken, emitting an inhuman howl.

No matter how hard he gave his all, Cheng Ji remained steadfast, unmoving.

"You want to perish together with me?!" Su Yang said in a low voice.

"As long as you die, the master can have his wish fulfilled; what's wrong with that?" Cheng Ji retorted.

He then added, "Anyway, I'm just a dead body; being able to radiate a final afterglow isn't a wasted trip through this world."

"Being able to use you as a stepping stone, this unremarkable life adds a bold, colorful stroke."

"I don't understand business, but I know this deal isn't a loss at all!"

"Give up, 'Demon', you are bound to die!"

Saying that, Cheng Ji tightened his grip.

As if to crush Su Yang into his embrace.

Feeling the opponent's all‑or‑nothing force, Su Yang instinctively looked up.

He saw the skyscrapers within arm's reach, and resolutely chose the Hole Cards he most dreaded using.

Fusion!

But just as he whispered it in his mind, Cheng Ji's aura behind him was suddenly reduced by more than half.

The binding force dropped precipitously like a cliff.

Su Yang felt the Transform, his heart stirred, and he immediately struggled to break free.

"That's not your power!" Cheng Ji shouted.

Su Yang tried to step out of the Blood River, but found the mud here even more terrifying than the swamp of the Underground Space.

Yet at that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Su Yang's arm.

"Hmm?"

The sudden change left everyone frozen in place.

That arm was absurdly long, stretching over two hundred meters!

"Rubber Man"?

At that moment, those three words flashed in every player's mind.

At the critical instant, the rubber hand surged, yanking Su Yang out of the Blood River with brute force.

Boom!

The skyscrapers crashed down with a roar, instantly engulfing Cheng Ji.

The massive sound echoed, causing the ground to tremble as well.

"Damn it!" Zhao Chenglin's face darkened to the extreme as he saw Su Yang escape the Blood River.

Gao Zhiyi's brow furrowed, clearly displeased with the outcome.

His gaze followed, seeing Su Yang sandwiched between the two.

Upon close inspection, he was shocked to find neither bore any hallmark of the Three Major Companies.

There was no Crystal Core in their brains, nor any trace related to it.

"Wai Shi person?" Gao Zhiyi suddenly realized.

Ximen Zhirou had originally kept his eyes closed, unwilling to look; after hearing the surrounding people sigh with relief, he slowly opened his eyes.

He gazed ahead and saw two acquaintances shielding Su Yang behind them.

He was instantly overjoyed, "Miss Qin, Lin Yang?!"

The arrivals turned out to be a 'refugee' group that had been traveling for a full three hours.

"Wuhu, luckily you arrived in time, otherwise we'd have been in trouble." Lin Yang wiped the Sweat from his forehead.

Qin Weiyang said no extra words, and directly pulled out the Injection.

Su Yang waved his hand to indicate it wasn't needed, then smiled, "Finally, I've been waiting for you."

Lin Yang saw that he could still smile, indicating the situation hadn't reached its most critical point.

"What would you do without us, my dear brother Su Yang."

Su Yang glanced at him, his Smile deepening, "Thank you."

Lin Yang's biggest fear was this routine, he quickly waved his hand, "Please don't, I can't bear it."

Su Yang looked at Qin Weiyang, nodded in acknowledgement.

Then he stepped forward, staring at Zhao Chenglin and Gao Zhiyi.

"Since everyone is present…"

"Then let the battle begin!"
