Chapter 584: Hard-Hitting the Long Wang!
Hard-Hitting the Long Wang!
Li Zhen's complexion changed.
Not because Cheng Shi opened his eyes, but because the Weaver of Fate sitting on the ground... had disappeared.
Cheng Shi disappeared from Li Zhen's sight the moment he opened his eyes. Relying on the dice scattered all over the ground, he used the never-lost gambling tool to flash behind the other party. Even though Li Zhen had been alert to the dice on the ground, helplessly, Cheng Shi was too fast.
The Weaver of Fate hadn't thought about any communication, negotiation, or probing at all; he only thought about attacking!
This sneak attack, accompanied by a sneer, instantly closed in on Li Zhen's back. Before the other party could react, he sent the scalpel toward the back of the other party's head, just like the initial probe.
Li Zhen was hit. His head exploded with a 'bang,' and he fell forward with fear in his eyes.
But Cheng Shi didn't feel he had succeeded just because he hit with one blow, because the touch of the back of the other party's head... was a bit wrong.
Fake, no, it couldn't be considered fake either. This feeling didn't seem like an illusion of 【Void】, but more like the past of 【Existence】.
He seemed to have killed a past Li Zhen.
Seeing this scene, and associating it with the strange words Lideyala had just said, Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened. He immediately realized that the opponent he was facing wasn't a follower of 【Order】, but should be a follower of 【Existence】, a counterpart who believes in 【Memory】!
The Li Zhen who just died was clearly his reflection in the Sea of Memories!
【Memory】, surnamed Li, and also understood 'deception'...
Connecting these keywords, a name instantly popped into Cheng Shi's mind.
?
Could it be him!?
Thinking of this name, Cheng Shi became even more excited.
But following the excitement was the sound of wind attacking from behind him!
The other party had counterattacked, and very quickly.
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, ducked the sneak attack from behind, snapped his fingers lightly, and disappeared again.
He didn't choose to turn around and attack, but quickly left the center of the dungeon and came to the side of the tree servant Yu Mu. Don't forget, Cheng Shi had a helper. This bodyguard ordered by the Big Cat to protect him was probably confused by some small tricks. As long as he could make him act again, the situation would quickly tilt toward Cheng Shi, becoming a two-on-one advantage.
As for how to re-awaken the other party, Cheng Shi didn't know.
But he could try.
He saw him smash a bottle of Past Prosperity on Yu Mu's face, and then, he grabbed Yu Mu's arrow tip and poked his own left arm. The moment the arrow tip pierced his clothes and touched his skin, the power of 【Faded Majesty】 erupted, wrapping around the surging 【Decay】 power and instantly transforming his left hand into a hard, withered vine arm again.
Yes, Cheng Shi was bug-abusing again.
To increase his combat power, he used Yu Mu's arrow to attack himself, drilling a loophole where the 【Faded】 authority would trigger 【Faded Majesty】 when countering 【Decay】 attacks.
But this wasn't his only purpose; he mainly wanted to use the purest 【Decay】 aura surging from his arm to try to awaken the tree servant in front of him.
Although the other party was a tree servant of 【Prosperity】, it couldn't be denied that his power source still came from the 【Sink】 Second God who was seeking decay.
The overflowing 【Decay】 aura slapped onto the nearby Yu Mu, and in the blink of an eye, it 'reactivated' this follower of 【Decay】.
It really worked!
Cheng Shi was overjoyed, but he didn't stop or relax at all. The next second, he disappeared in front of Yu Mu again and flashed toward the figure on the field.
A warrior of today who had gained the bonus of 【Decay】, today, was going to hard-hit the Long Wang right here!
That's right, Cheng Shi had already guessed that the other party was the abandoned-oath Long Wang, Li Jingming, who had betrayed his benefactor and come under the command of the God of Fun, but was constantly blaspheming the God of Fun to practice his own path of 【Memory】!
But was the other party him?
Yes!
Li Zhen was Li Jingming.
Facing Cheng Shi's storm-like pursuit, plus Yu Mu's occasional cold arrows, Li Jingming was fearless, but full of astonishment.
He hadn't seen aggressive warriors, nor had he seen cunning and suspicious players; he just hadn't expected to run into a... priest who could fight so well!
Although he had seen Cheng Shi's arm containing 【Decay】 power before going down to the dungeon, he never expected that this arm wasn't some prop to confuse people, nor a simple defensive blessing, but a hard weapon of a true warrior!
Dual-class cultivation?
Otherwise, how to explain his combat power?
Even if he was a mummy, he shouldn't be able to fight like this, right?
All the impressions he had about Cheng Shi in his mind were based on 'cunning,' even before the battle broke out, it was the same feeling. But now, he felt he was wrong.
Looking at the other party's posture, it seemed he wanted to... kill?
Li Jingming frowned, feeling that things were starting to develop in an unfavorable direction. This clearly violated his original intention. Although he wasn't afraid of fighting, unnecessary fighting would only waste time.
And he, in this remaining hour or so, had many things he wanted to do.
So, after dodging Cheng Shi's attack with the reflection of 【Memory】 again, Li Jingming retreated gracefully, raised his hand at the same time, and confessed to Cheng Shi:
"Cheng Shi, I know you recognized me, I..."
"I don't know!"
Cheng Shi sneered and leaned in again.
He was having a blast!
The warrior of today was constantly eroding the Long Wang's foothold like a maggot on a tarsal bone, plus the interference of a peak hunter's cold arrows, even the Big Cat couldn't be completely unscathed in this situation, let alone Li Jingming was a mage.
But he was a player on the list after all. After hard-hitting a few times, dragging several bruises and a tattered outfit, he retreated more than half the distance with a livid face.
Seeing the Long Wang eat dirt, Cheng Shi's eyes disappeared from laughing.
Was the other party strong?
Strong, the Long Wang was indeed very strong.
He even kept dodging, and the few times he attacked were some dispensable probes. Cheng Shi could see that the other party wanted to calmly resolve the contradictions and misunderstandings between the two sides, but the problem was, he didn't want to.
At least not now.
Because he was having a blast fighting.
Of course, Cheng Shi wasn't the Big Cat, he wasn't a violent maniac. He attacked so hard not because the other party was a former 【Memory】 God-Chosen, but because he had long seen through Li Jingming's plan, knowing that the other party intended to cooperate with him, so he was showing his strength to win more say.
Li Jingming must have wanted to cooperate, otherwise, he would have acted when he was feigning sleep just now.
The other party didn't act, which only meant his deception was just to examine him, understand him, and remember him.
And right now, it was the price this Long Wang should pay for this memory.
However, Cheng Shi's hard work wasn't entirely to increase bargaining chips. Rather than saying he was aggressive, it was better to say he was using the other party's strength to slowly blend his own combat power and hone his combat skills.
Enemies who fight to the death are easy to find, but battles aimed at fighting to the death don't last long, which is conducive to honing the will but not conducive to researching skills. It is hard to find an evenly matched opponent. Since there is such an opportunity now, it is just right to show his skills and give the Long Wang some small... crazy shock.
Li Jingming was indeed shocked. He didn't expect Cheng Shi's attitude toward him to be like avenging his father's murder.
No wonder he could trick Zhen Yi. Just by this fierce and crazy energy, he would succeed in whatever he did.
Li Jingming dodged Cheng Shi's attack with a gloomy face again, but he still didn't attack, still trying to resolve this 'misunderstanding' with persuasion.
"I didn't deceive you on purpose, I was just too curious about you, you..."
"Cut the crap, if you have the guts, don't run!"
"... Don't you want to know what happened to 【Order】?"
Want! Of course I want to!
But he still kept a straight face and said stubbornly: "Don't want to."
"You want to!"
"Fine, fine, fine, I want to, I want to hack you! Stop!"
"..." Cannot communicate, completely cannot communicate.
Li Jingming prided himself on having a good temper, but at this moment, under Cheng Shi's pressing, he was also angered. He suddenly dodged Yu Mu's shot, used 【Memory】 power to imprison the tree servant on the ground with a flick, and then his eyes sharpened, and his momentum began to rise infinitely.
Li Zhen's appearance and clothing quickly dissipated and disappeared from his body, and a cold face with a hint of firmness was slowly revealed. His hair was coiled in a bun, he wore coarse cloth, and various complex runes were drawn in the air at his fingertips. If it weren't for the azure light of 【Memory】 flowing wantonly, one would even feel that this was a pure-hearted and desireless Daoist priest walking out of an ancient painting.
The surging 【Memory】 power began to gather toward Li Jingming's fingertips. His speed was fast, and in the moment he broke free, he had almost prepared the 【Memory】 power in his hand.
But just when he was missing the last stroke, Cheng Shi, who had been fighting in close quarters, suddenly stopped. He didn't pay attention to the 'surprise' Li Jingming had prepared for him, but raised his arm high, flashed to Chen Shu's feet, reached out to this unconscious First-Class Judge, and raised his eyebrows with a sneer:
"You hit me, I hit him.
You can't kill me, I can kill him.
You lost your memory, I won..."
He just wanted to say 'fun,' but immediately realized that he couldn't be a follower of the God of Fun at this moment, so his thoughts turned sharply, and he changed his words smoothly:
"... change.
And this is the fate of you and me right now." ===== CHAPTER 585 =====
