Chapter 34 Luck vs. Ability!
After saying those words,
Fang Senyan disappeared from Reef's sight! Vanished into the swirling, light-blue ice dust.
At this moment, Reef suddenly felt that the flying particles weren't ice dust at all, but rather the smoke from a cigar, the falling ashes, and the faint, hearty smile of the black brother. He couldn't help but feel tears welling up again.
Just as Fang Senyan disappeared, Reef was astonished to find that he could move again. He had miraculously escaped his near-death state. He looked down and immediately noticed that his body was enveloped in three layers of faint green light, the very effects of the silver plot item Fang Senyan had carried with him: the Evergreen Leaf of the Sacred Oak.
This leaf had an active ability called Oak's Healing, a level 5 Rejuvenation effect that continuously restored the target's health over 12 seconds, with a cumulative recovery total of 450-600 points.
If he disregarded all costs, he could continuously use Oak's Healing three times, though this would cost a total of more than 20,000 universal points and ten potential points.
However, such a price was obviously quite worthwhile for the current precarious situation. Reef was now in a state where three layers of level 5 Rejuvenation effects were stacked on him within twelve seconds, equivalent to restoring more than 1500 health points in twelve seconds, naturally and quickly pulling him out of his near-death state.

And just as Fang Senyan stealthily approached and stabbed Shali to death, Sanzi was once again facing an unprecedentedly huge crisis... a crisis of death!
He was lying on the ground in a near-death state. Unable to move, he could see that the scene above, blurred by the light blue ice dust, was a bit off.
He had been blown by the ice and snow shockwave to the road in front of the supermarket entrance, his hands and feet frozen in the ice. Lying on his back, he could see the top of the supermarket's third floor.
There was actually a car that had been blown onto the roof of the third floor as well, its chassis facing the sky and its roof facing down, awkwardly frozen and stuck at the edge of the roof. It was quite a spectacle. If it weren't frozen so solid, it would definitely slide down and crush Sanzi below without fail.
At this time, a pigeon, flying from who knows where, happened to fly past. It was startled by the residual cold air in the air, and immediately fell down, staggering. It barely managed to grab the nearby power line by flapping its wings.
However, under the impact of the Resentful Chill, the low temperature endured by that power line had far exceeded its design limit. Although the pigeon was very light, one still had to consider the impact force it brought from falling from the air and flapping its wings. So, without any suspense, the power line snapped.
But the power supply was not cut off. The current was still flowing inside the metal wires, so the broken power line naturally split into two sections. One of the sections crackled with sparks, swinging towards Sanzi like Tarzan swinging on a vine. Then, it landed on the edge of the supermarket roof and got stuck.
The sparks from the power line naturally continued to flash. Because the ice and snow shockwave was like a typhoon passing through, it had made everything a mess. The front impact direction of the shockwave was often frozen with ice. But the edge of the roof where the power line was stuck was blocked by the water tank on the roof, so there was no ice covering it. As a result, the sparks ignited a pile of messy cotton that had been blown up next to it.
Next to the messy cotton was a barrel of cooking oil that had been overturned. The freezing point of oil is much lower than that of water, and it was flowing everywhere, so it was naturally ignited and then spread to the car that had been thrown onto the third floor and frozen there, its chassis facing the sky.
The car, with its chassis facing the sky, was stuck at the edge of the third floor. It was originally maintaining a fragile balance with the solidified ice. When it was burned by the fire, it suddenly became shaky, and the fire quickly spread to the body of the car. Then, naturally, it slid down and crashed towards Sanzi.
Sanzi was in a near-death state. Reef had not recovered yet, and Fang Senyan couldn't possibly prevent everything in advance; he was stretched too thin! Even if the car didn't kill Sanzi when it crashed, the burning fuel tank would follow with a fiery explosion. It seemed that Sanzi was in a situation where death was inevitable!
Yes, this was the mastermind behind the scenes, observing the overall situation, discovering that Fang Senyan had strangely woken up for some reason, so he immediately made a decisive decision. After precise calculations, he launched a poisonous attack on Sanzi!
His power had been refracted a total of five times through the pigeon, the power line, the cotton, the cooking oil, and the car! He had maximized its effect. He was convinced that even Fang Senyan, who had surprised him many times, would never be able to save Sanzi.
Absolutely, positively, impossible!
Sanzi also closed his eyes in despair. In his pupils, the car head that was crashing down seemed to occupy the entire world! And the temperature of the raging flames on the car head was almost scorching his face.
He was so helpless in the face of death. Last time, the black brother had saved him with his life. This time, who would save him? Who could save him?
But just as the burning car head crashed heavily towards Sanzi, less than a meter away from his face, there was a loud "boom"! A gust of wind swept fiercely across Sanzi's face, and the scorching temperature disappeared instantly.
It turned out that at this critical moment, an Audi A8 car had suddenly crashed out at an indescribable acceleration, hitting the middle of the car that was crashing towards Sanzi head-on, like an angry bull, smashing the car into the adjacent storefront, and then a violent explosion occurred!
"How... how could this be!" At this time, the mastermind's violently surging mood was imaginable. He, who always advocated that Mount Tai could collapse in front of him without changing his expression, couldn't help but roar out in disbelief:
"How could this be? How could this be! Immediately adjust the satellite images and replay them!"
The truth was quickly restored by slow-motion replay.
It turned out that when the frozen pigeon landed on the power line, it had broken the power line into two sections. The right section swung towards the roof of the supermarket, but... the left section was not willing to be a mere passerby either. It also drooped down and finally fell to the ground.
The end that was flashing with sparks happened to touch a section of broken advertising light box scattered on the ground. The frame of the advertising box was made of steel, and the current naturally conducted over, but after the light box, which was already severely damaged, was energized, it caused a small explosion due to a short circuit!
During the explosion, a broken, sharp piece of the light box flew out, rotating at high speed across a distance of more than ten meters, penetrating the back of the car seat, and deeply piercing into the cervical spine of a person!
This person was the driver of an Audi A8.
You must know that this was originally a busy intersection, but it was suddenly attacked and a violent chaos occurred. It was too normal for several cars to be parked haphazardly. This driver was considered lucky. He had been stunned in the fierce battle. Although the car body was covered with scars, he was still firmly tied to the seat because of the seat belt.
At this time, his cervical spine was severely injured, and he was naturally awakened in an instant. Although he couldn't figure out the surrounding situation, his instinctive reaction was to reach behind his cervical spine with his right hand to pull out the fragment.
But his sitting posture at this time determined that his right hand could not reach it, so he would definitely have to stand up to pull out the fragment, but his whole person was restrained by the seat belt, and his right foot was on the accelerator.
Therefore, after the fragment pierced into his body, the driver's instinctive first reaction was to reach out and pull out the fragment, and then try to lean forward and stand up. As a result, because of the seat belt, it turned into slamming on the accelerator...
Okay, the Audi A8's engine roared and immediately sped up. This luxury car, known for its performance, only needed 6.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 meters, and it happened to pass through a smooth ice slope formed by an ice and snow shockwave on the way!
Then, it crashed into the burning car that was falling down that the mastermind had painstakingly created!
This kind of method was almost exactly the same as the ability used by the mastermind behind the scenes, but this kind of method could also be given a well-known name:
That is luck!!!
Yes! The mastermind had calculated everything, but he had overlooked one point, and that was that Sanzi's identity was that of a Chosen One!
He was a person favored by space.
He was born with extremely good luck.
The mastermind's ability, in essence, was to reduce the target's luck to the lowest level and use a series of coincidences to inflict damage on the enemy.
However, the luck of the Chosen One was specially favored by space. The mastermind's tampering with Sanzi's luck was equivalent to directly infringing on the territory and privileges of the No. C space of the Noah space where Sanzi was located. This was obviously a violation, so he would naturally suffer a strong backlash from the Nightmare Space!
Therefore, the mastermind's attack against Sanzi failed this time. It seemed accidental, but it was actually inevitable. He believed that if he had chosen Zi as the target, then Zi... might not have died either, because Zi's position was already within the range that Fang Senyan could intervene in.

Without a doubt, as soon as his mobility was restored, Reef immediately gritted his teeth and used the Holy Grip!
He had clearly seen Sanzi's recent encounters and had almost broken out in a cold sweat. The death of Mogansha was already a permanent trauma in his heart, and he would absolutely not allow a similar situation to happen again!
