Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 662 Appearance (6K)
Boom!
Without any warning, Lei Lang (Thunder Wolf) spat out a black beam of light.
The Void Dog Cannon is an immature, degraded version of the Tailed Beast Ball technique from the *Naruto* manga series. The Tailed Beast Ball requires precise harmonization of Yin and Yang energy attributes, compressed into a ball in the mouth, and then released.
The Void Dog Cannon, however, is not a spherical bomb when fired, but a beam. Its principle is much simpler and cruder.
But simple and crude doesn't necessarily mean a decrease in power.
The jet-black beam, condensing all the energy within Lei Lang,
Assisted by another skill, it seemed to have received precision guidance, hitting the Demonic Sect youth who was trying to dodge with afterimages.
After engulfing him, its momentum didn't diminish, and it swept towards the practitioners who had already formed a formation on the flat ground in the distance.
The black beam lasted for ten seconds.
After ten seconds, the earth was scorched black, with several traces of the beam plowing through, and the soil emitted hot white smoke.
The Demonic Sect youth's remains flew out and disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.
The foreign cultivators on the flat ground suffered heavy casualties. The three in the front row disappeared directly, and three human-shaped shadows remained on the ground behind their original positions—matter from their bodies annihilated under the high-energy strike.
As for Lei Lang himself, after this blast, he was emaciated, staggering, and falling to the ground, directly withdrawing from the competition.
"Nice."
An Boli praised, waving his knife to continue slashing at the blind monk, but unexpectedly, he missed.
The blind monk flashed a hundred meters away, listening to the screams of the foreign cultivators, his face muscles twitching slightly, and a trace of compassion and sadness appearing between his eyebrows.
Buddhism has a closed-mouth meditation.
The cycle of life and death of all beings is caused by the three karmas of body, speech, and mind. If these three karmas are eliminated, speech is stopped and words are forbidden, there is no sin and no karma. If the mind understands, great fruit can be obtained.
And blind meditation, not observing external things, external meditation and internal concentration, the mind sees that the five aggregates are empty, eliminates distractions between different thoughts, and obtains ease in both obedience and defiance.
Twenty years of blind meditation, at this moment, it should be opened.
The monk's eyelashes trembled, his eyelids lifted, revealing clear eyes like water.
An Boli, caught by his gaze, felt his thoughts stretched and elongated in an instant. Everything outside became slow-motion, and his vision was inexplicably filled with warm, peaceful, and all-encompassing Buddhist light.
He heard the sound of sincere chanting composed of the overlapping voices of millions of people.
From the perspective of others, as the monk opened his eyes, An Boli's expression became dull and slow, and the Tide Bringer curved blade in his hand remained in the posture of about to chop.
The monk from the Pure Thought Sect moved his gaze with difficulty, as if his neck was rusty.
Cheng Ying, caught by his gaze, was struck by lightning, and his figure froze.
Instantly, the green-robed scholar seized the opportunity, flicking out a water-condensed arrow that hit his collarbone, and together with his left shoulder, was completely annihilated—if Zhan Lu hadn't swung his sword in time to deflect the direction of the water-condensed arrow, he would have died on the spot.
However, even with his left shoulder completely severed, Cheng Ying still hadn't awakened from the Buddhist light illusion suddenly released by the blind meditation.
He still stood there blankly, with a dazed expression.
Not good.
Ding Zhensi's heart was pounding like a drum. In a battle between experts, everything happens in an instant. Cheng Ying, who had fallen into a daze and was standing still, was now like a living target.
Not only was he unable to actively withdraw from the competition, but he also dragged Zhan Lu into a passive defensive posture, forcing him to protect her, constantly using his long sword to break through the scholar's myriad techniques.
Prolonged defense will inevitably lead to loss. In just a few breaths, Zhan Lu had sustained many injuries of varying severity.
Ding Zhensi gritted his teeth, driving the Kui Niu (A mythical beast) mech to crouch down, narrowly avoiding the monk's gaze.
At the same time, he flipped his palm and took out a spare Special Affairs Bureau combat suit from the backpack, throwing it towards Cheng Ying, who was standing there in a daze.
To facilitate donning and doffing, the Special Affairs Bureau's standard combat suits only have one zipper on the front.
The fabric inside the suit is incredibly smooth, and the cuffs have automated miniature robots. As soon as they came into contact with Cheng Ying's hands and feet, they automatically extended rollers and rolled on their own.
Instantly, the combat suit was put on Cheng Ying.
The interface behind the neck extended nerve cables, piercing into the back of the head, taking over his thoughts, and issuing a withdrawal command.
Cheng Ying disappeared on the spot together with the combat suit, but Zhan Lu's body was already covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and the sword in his hand was not as firm as before.
The situation tilted, and the decline was evident.
The scholar chuckled, the scroll in his hand moved without wind. While violently retreating to avoid Zhan Lu's slash, energy gathered in his palm, condensing into a beam of verdant breeze.
"Go."
The scholar pushed out with his palm, the breeze seeming slow but actually fast, rushing swiftly.
In the process of flying, it constantly devoured the surrounding air. By the time it flew in front of Zhan Lu, it had transformed into an overwhelming wind wall.
The middle of the wind wall gradually slowed down, while the edges accelerated forward, rapidly closing like a fishing net.
Zhan Lu swung his sword, the indestructible sword Qi slashing on the wind wall. Instead of tearing an opening, it amplified the power of the breeze—the wind seemed to be mixed with spatial anchor spells, making it impossible to use teleportation skills.
Seeing that Zhan Lu and Ding Zhensi were about to be swallowed by the Qing Feng (Clear Wind) cage,
Four pink beams of light rapidly swept in from the back of the tunnel, hitting the four corners of the cage, erupting with pink strong light, tearing a hole in the cage.
The source of the light beams was a seven-meter-tall humanoid steel mech flying in.
The mech was painted white.
On both sides of the mech's shoulders were absorption wings resembling shoulder armor (each absorption wing had twelve attitude control nozzles, used to control flight posture).
It held two lightsabers in its hands, and twelve cone-shaped purple floating turrets hovered behind it.
The overall shape of the mech was smooth and streamlined.
It vaguely resembled... an extra-large moth.
This mech was the strategic weapon of the European Heavy Industries Group, piloted by the pink-haired girl, 【Fu Xiao】(Dawn), 【Amx-004·Qubeley】mech.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh—
The Qubeley mech flew at high speed close to the ground, and the floating turrets behind it fired continuously. The pink beams of light completely tore through the Qing Feng (Clear Wind) cage, allowing Zhan Lu and Ding Zhensi to escape.
And the other three people sitting on the back of the mech also moved.
【Setsushouin】, wearing a black nun's habit, flicked her palm, and more than ten daggers appeared in her palm, thrown out at random.
In the next moment, the daggers without flight trajectories, ignoring the obstruction of armor, directly pinned the limbs of the foreign cultivators in the distance.
The petite 【Colonial Symbiosis】 was suddenly covered with a layer of biomass armor.
The armor parts seemed to come from different creatures. There were two antenna-like tentacles on its head, bird wings extended from its back, its left hand became an incomparably sharp praying mantis scythe, and its right hand became the claw of a feline animal.
The hooded man 【Mistletoe】, whose robe had green tree sprouts growing out of it, waved a wooden staff, cast druid skills, and summoned five two-headed chimera flying dragons.
The wings of the flying dragons spread out, almost filling the entire tunnel. All ten dragon heads spit together,
Acid, lightning, fire, and ice,
Like carpet-bombing aerial bombs, scattered towards the foreign cultivator camp.
Fu Xiao, Setsushouin, Colonial Symbiosis, and Mistletoe had encountered foreign players before.
They had been in contact with Tian Qi Huo Tu (Heavenly Banner of Disaster Earth) and already knew the current situation.
As soon as they appeared, they used their strongest attack skills, determined to end the battle before the other party could escape or call for reinforcements.
Under the round of artillery fire composed of various skills, half of the foreign players were killed or injured.
In order to avoid the chimera's electrified acid pool, the remaining people had to terminate the formation and take off, scattering in all directions.
"Sorry, we're late."
Fu Xiao piloted the mech to stop abruptly, and the broadcast on the mech clearly transmitted a gentle and sweet voice, "There was a slight delay on the way."
The 【Amx-004·Qubeley】mech has achieved a perfect balance in terms of maneuverability, destructive power, flight ability, endurance, defense, short-range sprint, and environmental adaptability.
It is not a single piece of equipment.
It was summoned by the European Heavy Industries Group, using a prop called the 【Omnipotent Wishing Machine】, sacrificing more than ten perfect-level transcendent materials and equipment.
It already possesses the special effects and abilities of a bunch of perfect-level equipment.
It can be said to be one of the highest-value single pieces of equipment in the Killing Game at present.
And the pilot of the Qubeley mech, Fu Xiao, in addition to being a mech vlog blogger who broke one million fans in one year, is also a natural New Human—spatial perception, cognitive ability, and thinking ability far exceed ordinary people, with innate keen intuition, or rather, Alaya-vijnana.
This kind of qualification is one in ten thousand. Before becoming a player, Fu Xiao was very special.
For example, she could "see" the pattern on the face-down card, "hear" the inner voices of people around her, "predict" the results of tomorrow's exams, and "taste" the taste of the apple pie that had not yet been baked.
The talent of Alaya-vijnana is slightly different from mental abilities.
The latter is to excavate the power in the depths of the heart and leverage the solid bricks of the real world with the heart to achieve all kinds of incredible effects.
The former is to form a harmonious connection with all things in the outside world.
The manifestation is that she can control twelve floating turrets without a brainwave amplification device; before the opponent makes an attack, she can perceive the direction of the attack and make evasions in advance, achieving a certain degree of "predicting the future" effect.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
The purple-red cone-shaped floating turrets fired in succession, accurately hitting the vajra that the monk threw at An Boli, knocking it away.
At the same time, the absorption wings on the shoulders of the heavy mech sprayed airflow downward, allowing the mech to cushion its landing.
Heavy feet stomped on the ground, leaving deep footprints.
Without further ado,
Fu Xiao controlled twelve floating turrets,
Cooperating with Mistletoe's two-headed chimera flying dragons, suppressed the foreign players' magic circle with firepower.
Colonial Symbiosis, who had put on biological armor, drew a trail of afterimages in the air.
In an instant, he flashed behind An Boli and brought her back to Fu Xiao's mech.
The pursuing monk was intercepted by Setsushouin—the monk's blind meditation had just been interrupted. At this moment, his eyes were closed again, and two lines of blood tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, making it impossible to cast Buddhist light again in a short time.
Seeing that his companions were entangled by each other
Dan Chenzi raised his long sleeves, and a quaint rectangular wooden box flew out from his sleeves.
The wooden box opened automatically.
Tai Hao clearly saw that there were seven grooves for placing swords in the box. Six of the grooves were empty, which were obviously the six long swords that Dan Chenzi was using to form the Lotus Sword Formation.
In the last sword slot, there was an ordinary long sword folded from yellow paper.
This is the other party's trump card.
Intuition emerged from the depths of his mind. Tai Hao took a deep breath and squeezed out the spiritual power in his Qi sea.
The Qi Dragon suddenly expanded and bit fiercely at the wooden box, forcing Dan Chenzi to retreat with the wooden box in his arms.
"Cover me!"
Dan Chenzi roared. The bookish scholar's expression changed slightly. He abandoned Zhan Lu and Ding Zhensi and turned into a wisp of breeze, flashing to Dan Chenzi's side and slapping the Qi Dragon away with one palm.
"Don't let him pull out the sword!"
Tai Hao shouted loudly, controlling the Qi Dragon, along with Fu Xiao's floating turrets, Zhan Lu's sword Qi, and Ding Zhensi's Kui Niu mech's heavy machine gun demon-breaking burst bullets, to tightly bite at Dan Chenzi's flight path.
(This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!)
Not allowing him to take out the yellow paper long sword from the sword box.
"Is this under a hallucination?"
Colonial Symbiosis frowned, looking at An Boli's changing face, sometimes angry and sometimes laughing. After a moment's thought, he took out a parchment scroll from the backpack and prepared to tear it apart to release An Boli from her controlled state.
Unexpectedly, the ripping sound only reached halfway, and the scroll was not completely torn open.
The tentacles on the top of Colonial Symbiosis's head suddenly shook, and a strong sense of unease, like a thorn in the back, surged into his heart.
His whole body shivered, and he subconsciously pushed An Boli away, pushing her towards Mistletoe.
He turned around, and the praying mantis sickle in his left hand drew a semicircle behind him.
Clang—
The sound of metal clashing was sharp and ear-piercing.
A demon general in the shape of a fox, with a short stature, held a thin sword like a knitting needle and casually blocked Colonial Symbiosis's slash.
Clang clang clang!
The cold light shone, and the sword light bloomed.
The Qingqiu (Azure Hill) fox swung its sword and cut off Colonial Symbiosis's arms and legs.
Those high-strength colonial equipment pieced together from the bodies of demons were as fragile as paper in front of the thin sword.
Crack—
Along with the sound of the spine breaking, the thin sword easily cut off Colonial Symbiosis's neck.
All of this happened so quickly that before everyone present could react, Colonial Symbiosis's headless body had disappeared on the spot.
"Do you need so long to deal with opponents of this strength?"
The Qingqiu fox glanced at Dan Chenzi and the others not far away, snorted coldly.
Its small hind limbs lightly stepped on the ground, and its figure instantly disappeared.
In the next moment, it had already appeared in mid-air in front of Mistletoe.
The president from the Thousand-Throated Beast's pupils reflected the Qingqiu fox's cruel smile and the gradually enlarging tip of the thin sword.
Swish—
The thin sword blade cut through the air countless times.
Dense sword marks immediately appeared on Mistletoe's body, and his face and hands were covered with grid-like wounds.
"Hmm?"
The Qingqiu fox fell to the ground, looking at Mistletoe, who was dragging An Boli and retreating violently, covered in wounds, and was somewhat surprised that the other party was not dead.
"The summoner's... life link?"
The Qingqiu fox followed the imperceptible energy threads extending from Mistletoe's body and glanced at the five chimera flying dragons in the sky that had suddenly become listless.
It immediately understood that Mistletoe had just used a skill like a life link to transfer his injuries to his summons, thus saving his life.
"Heh, humans."
The Qingqiu fox sneered contemptuously. His hind limbs lightly stepped on the ground. Just as he was about to activate the teleportation skill, he felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind him.
Zheng!
The Qingqiu turned around abruptly, and the thin sword blocked two daggers—Setsushouin, wearing a nun's habit, was holding the daggers in her hands and smiling, blocking the way.
"Melee with me?"
The Qingqiu grinned and stepped forward, slashing at Setsushouin.
The sound of weapons colliding was so dense that it was impossible to hear any breaks.
The figures of the two turned into blurred afterimages. Wherever they passed, deep traces were plowed on the ground.
"You're very good."
The Qingqiu said calmly, "Unfortunately, you're still too slow..."
After saying the last word, the fox's speed exploded again.
The light of the thin sword in his hand, like a spherical cage, enveloped Qing Xingdeng, blocking any space for retreat.
All of the passive defense equipment allocated by the Nichito Abnormal Affairs Investigation Bureau on Qing Xingdeng's body were activated.
However, whether it was shikigami defense or energy shields, it couldn't last even a second in front of the spherical sword light and shattered completely.
Fu Xiao drove the floating turrets in the distance and fired beams of light.
The pink laser hit the sword light, like a clay ox entering the sea, with no response.
When the sword light dissipated, Setsushouin's figure disappeared on the spot.
"You ran quite fast."
The Qingqiu shook off the blood beads on the thin sword and turned his head to look at Mistletoe not far away, who was running towards Fu Xiao with An Boli.
"Stubbornly resisting,"
The Qingqiu murmured, reappearing again, blocking in front of Mistletoe, and said the second half of the sentence while slashing down the thin sword, "...not knowing the difference between life and death."
The thin sword blade weaved a dense trajectory in the air.
Mistletoe's body was cut into countless pieces from bottom to top. The chimeras flying in the sky were drained of their vitality. Before they could fall to the ground, they disappeared into the lost world along with Mistletoe.
"..."
An Boli, who had been escorted here and there, was still standing there with a blank expression, but something seemed to be jumping in the depths of her eyes.
"Damn it!"
Kuang Ran Huo Xin (Ardent Fire Heart), who was bombing the foreign cultivators in the high altitude, was anxious. Those cultivators had formed a magic circle again, forming an invisible and intangible deceleration field around her body.
The foreign fire thrown by Kuang Ran Huo Xin greatly slowed down the flying speed.
Even she herself could not use the teleportation and flash skills.
"Get out of here!"
She shouted angrily, raising her hands above her head, and the orange-red flames in her palms rapidly expanded, instantly turning into the shape of a meteorite.
Smashing down on the foreign cultivators below.
Under the effect of the deceleration field, the already slow meteorite fireball was even slower than a wheelchair.
But Kuang Ran Huo Xin didn't think about directly smashing her opponent to death with a fireball - the meteorite fireball slowly advanced, squeezing and exploding the invisible and intangible deceleration field.
Allowing her to turn around and swoop down, rushing towards An Boli below.
"Benefactor, please stay."
The blind monk rushed forward, and the magic weapons surrounding him blocked Kuang Ran Huo Xin's path.
"Get out of here."
Kuang Ran Huo Xin's tone was calm, her hair moved without wind, the ends of her golden hair quietly burned, and her eyes burned with raging fire, without the frivolous laziness of her usual world-weary.
(Master, there is more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!)
The monk's kasaya fluttered violently. He was expressionless, raised the golden bowl in his left hand, and sucked up the flames thrown by Kuang Ran Huo Xin.
Holding the demon-subduing pestle tightly in his right hand, he swung it down.
Immediately, a pagoda-like Arhat figure appeared behind Kuang Ran Huo Xin, holding the same demon-subduing pestle as the monk and smashing it towards Kuang Ran Huo Xin.
The two sides fell into a battle, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.
On the other side, the thin sword that the Qingqiu held, slashing towards An Boli's neck, was also intercepted by a high-frequency cutting knife - Ding Zhensi drove the Kui Niu mech and barely arrived.
The already dilapidated body was even more shaky after experiencing a short-range explosive sprint. Sparks were constantly flashing at the joints, and battery fluid was flowing out, looking like it could be scrapped at any time.
Buzz—
The 【Amx-004·Qubeley】piloted by Fu Xiao also arrived. She let the floating turrets fire beams to help Tai Hao and Kuang Ran Huo Xin, while she pulled out two lightsabers.
Slashing towards the Qingqiu, which was as small as a teacup rabbit compared to the Qubeley mech.
The Kui Niu and Qubeley, two mechs with huge differences in height and weight.
One uses the remnants of ancient mythical beasts as the mech soul.
One uses Alaya-vijnana to assist the drive.
In terms of response speed, it can actually keep up with the Qingqiu fox.
But response speed does not mean reaction ability.
The Kui Niu mech's body, which was constantly emitting sparks, quickly began to smoke after blocking more than a dozen rounds of thin sword stabs, the hydraulic joints overheated, and the load-bearing structure was damaged.
It was cut off by the Qingqiu, one arm and one leg, and could no longer stand.
Fu Xiao tried to use the Qubeley mech's lightsaber, combined with the control skills she carried, to limit the Qingqiu's flexible body. It would only take less than a second.
The lightsaber, which can cut through the armor of a warship like cutting butter, can cut this damned fox into a plate of dishes—the lightsaber has a very high blade temperature and comes with scorching properties when cutting meat.
Unfortunately, a certain piece of equipment or prop on Qingqiu's body, or possibly Qingqiu himself, had a higher level of mystery than the skills Fu Xiao carried.
Whether it was immobilization, deceleration, or spatial anchoring, it had no effect on the Qingqiu.
After a few breaths, the chest armor of the Qubeley mech had already been cut open by the thin sword, revealing Fu Xiao's face in the cockpit, who had no time to make a surprised expression.
"..."
The Qingqiu condescendingly overlooked the female human pilot, without ridicule or praise.
In its world of perception, everything was so slow, so... boring.
One sword, pierced down.
Bang!!
A silver bullet accurately hit the thin sword blade.
The powerful kinetic energy slightly deflected the thin sword.
It did not hit Fu Xiao's brow, but pierced into the seat of the cockpit.
Hmm?!
The emotion of astonishment surged into the Qingqiu's own heart.
Its perception speed far exceeded that of humans and other demons.
At that moment, it clearly remembered that it had not seen the trajectory of the bullet.
This silver bullet seemed to suddenly appear next to the thin sword.
What's going on?
Taking advantage of the Qingqiu's moment of astonishment, Fu Xiao, who had barely reacted, directly consumed a skill scroll called 【Warp】.
Grabbing An Boli, who was standing on the ground, and the crouching Kui Niu mech,
She flashed to the rear five hundred meters away.
The 【Warp】 skill scroll is of perfect quality, and its effect is to teleport yourself and all allied units to a specified location - long-distance teleportation skills are very scarce. The entire European Heavy Industries Group could not gather many copies.
The one Fu Xiao used was the only one she had.
As the Qubeley mech disappeared, the Qingqiu fell downward.
Bang!
Another silver bullet came and hit the Qingqiu fox's temple on the side of the skull.
The Qingqiu rolled out, the hair on the side of its skull exploded.
The bones in the temple area were dented, and faint blood flowed down.
Not, not dead.
The Qingqiu fox, filled with astonishment, turned over in mid-air and corrected its posture.
Stepping on the wall with its paws,
Not taking the risk of being shot again, killing the currently powerless An Boli and Ding Zhensi.
Instead, it moved at high speed in the large space, passed through more than a dozen flashes, and finally came to the side of the foreign cultivator's magic circle.
"..."
The Qingqiu took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
When he was hit in the temple by the bullet just now, it almost thought it was really going to die - that bullet was too strange, and even it could not see or feel the flight trajectory.
Fortunately, the body of the demon general was so strong that the power of the bullet itself could not break through the hair defense....
The Qingqiu held the thin sword in its right hand, raised its left hand, and in its palm lay a dented silver bullet head - the bullet head was slowly becoming illusory as time passed.
Unable to see the flight trajectory, but deducing from the direction the bullet finally hit... it was, there.
The Qingqiu suddenly raised its head, its sight passing over the regrouped Fu Xiao, Ding Zhensi, and others, looking towards the rear of the tunnel.
There, an armored car drove in.
Many people were sitting in the car.
The white-coated figure driving the vehicle was holding the steering wheel with his left hand.
His right hand was stretched out of the car window, and the muzzle of the revolver called 【Colt m1873·Peace Maker】in his hand was smoking.
