“You’re still alive?” Honghu exclaimed. He had good reason to be surprised, because…normally speaking, no player would have a chance of winning a one-on-one fight against a Boss of the “Juror” level.

“Sometimes miracles happen…” Feng Bujue shrugged with a smile, “Don’t they?”

“No, they don’t…and they never will.” Honghu narrowed his eyes and said quickly, “Stop being so mysterious…you must have used some unconventional method to escape Shāgǔlā’s pursuit.”

“Alright, now’s not the time to dwell on such issues.” Jue-ge took the opportunity to change the subject, “The Derivate before us is probably even stronger than the Juror, Time Official, or the Nine Dark Sovereigns…” He shifted his gaze to Y2-Shine, “Even if the four of us join forces, we may not be able to defeat him…” He paused for a moment, “We should probably think about how to deal with this imminent threat first.”

“Hmph! There’s no need to join forces!” Tianma Xingkong crossed his arms, stood with his feet apart, and held his head high, “I alone will defeat this villain!”

“Hmm…you must be Tianma Xingkong…” Feng Bujue’s eyes shifted slightly as he murmured, “Just as the rumors said…” Jue-ge’s pre-match investigation was very thorough. He not only recognized the appearance of each player, but also knew a thing or two about other information.

“Hehehe…” Y2-Shine had already walked to a spot less than twenty meters away from the group. Facing the four players, he still smiled calmly and said, “Bravery…is an excellent quality. But bravery based on ignorance is both ridiculous and pathetic.”

“Tianma Meteor Fist!” Tianma Xingkong ignored the other party’s words. Obviously…he couldn’t understand that kind of veiled expression.

With a shout, silver-white fist shadows suddenly scattered, striking Y2-Shine’s body like raindrops.

“Ha…” Y2-Shine’s laughter was full of mockery, “This kind of attack…its power is probably about the same as the energy I casually leak out.” His reaction was the same as the Watcher, just standing there, neither dodging nor blocking.

To put it simply, Tianma Xingkong’s moves couldn’t break his defense at all…

“Agh—oh—” Tianma Xingkong’s attack failed, and he immediately adopted a horse stance, his face contorted as if he was trying to squeeze out a turd, and he howled like a pig being slaughtered.

“I’ll be damned…is he about to become a Super Saiyan…” Facing this overly prominent flaw, Zhao Yingwang couldn’t help but complain.

“Oh! He’s burning his Cosmo!” Feng Bujue, on the other hand, had a look of understanding on his face, his eyes shining brightly.

“These two guys really are birds of a feather…” Honghu thought, “Even a normal person like me can vaguely feel the level of chuunibyou around me rising…”

“Take this! Tianma Meteor Fist!” Tianma Xingkong took a big step forward, bent his knees and thrust his hips, swung his arms and threw a punch, and another wave of fist shadows roared away.

“Is there something wrong with your brain?” Y2-Shine snorted coldly, “Knowing it’s ineffective, yet continuing to use the same move, do you think the result will be any di…” Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, the Light-Gathering Armor on Y2-Shine’s body was actually struck with many cracks by the flying fist shadows, and he himself retreated several steps under the impact of the Meteor Fist.

“What’s going on…” There was a flash of light in Y2-Shine’s eyes, “The data is actually increasing…”

“Villain! Have you seen my fighting spirit!” Tianma Xingkong glared at the other party with sharp eyes, “It’s not too late to surrender now!”

“What did you say?” Y2-Shine’s bell-like voice suddenly sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Surrender? Me…surrender…to you?” The light emanating from the surface of his body gradually brightened, and the Light-Gathering Armor covered with cracks was quickly broken apart by the light energy, with fragments scattered on the ground. “Humans…perhaps you’ve become accustomed to treating battles as child’s play…but to me…this is a mission that risks my life.” At this point, the armor on Y2-Shine’s body had completely fallen off, and his entire body was emitting a full of light energy.

“Those who are stubborn and resist to the death…” Y2-Shine raised one arm, extended his index finger forward, gathering a violent energy on his finger, ready to be released, “…will be reduced to dust!”

Boom—

A roar announced the arrival of the attack.

A shocking pulse of power leaked from Y2-Shine’s fingertip, sweeping towards the three players on the street.

At this instant…

“Get out of the way!” With a soft shout, Zhao Yingwang leaped forward and took the lead in front of Tianma Xingkong.

In the few seconds that Y2-Shine was charging up his attack, Zhao Yingwang had already sensed that something was wrong, so he had prepared for it.

[Name: Summoning Art—Rashōmon]

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Learned]

[Skill Category: Summoning]

[Effect: Summons Rashōmon to block attacks (no cooldown time, duration 20 seconds, multiple Rashōmon can exist at the same time, no quantity limit)]

[Consumption: 30% of maximum spiritual power]

[Learning Condition: Summoning Specialization A]

[Remarks: Advanced defensive spell, summons the "gate that blocks life and death" from the spirit world to defend against enemies.]

Crack—As the skill was activated, the road in front of Zhao Yingwang suddenly cracked open, and a giant gate more than six meters wide and ten meters high rose from the ground.

The gate of Rashōmon was made of white bones, as thick as a city wall, and engraved with bizarre totems of demons and monsters, filled with deathly aura.

Bang! The pulse arrived and struck the gate directly.

In the second that the two attacks collided, the entire street was shaking…

“Not bad…he actually blocked it…” Honghu thought, standing in the back, “But the other party’s strength is indeed far beyond expectations…I have to do something quickly.”

And on the other side…

“Hmph…futile resistance…” Y2-Shine didn’t seem to take Zhao Yingwang’s defensive ultimate seriously at all. He immediately shouted loudly, “Try to block it if you can!” He changed his finger to a palm, and held the wrist of the attacking hand with the other hand, doubling his strength.

“Who’s afraid of who!” Seeing that the first gate was on the verge of collapsing from the pulse, Zhao Yingwang immediately retreated and continued to attack, “I’m going all out with you today!” He was very angry at the moment, the arrow that had been stolen earlier, and Y2-Shine’s various words and deeds, all made him very unhappy. “Try to break it if you can! Double Rashōmon!”

At the moment when the first Rashōmon was penetrated, Zhao Yingwang’s follow-up move just kept up. This time, two giant gates rose up at once, incomparably solid…it felt like they could withstand a missile attack.

“Ridiculous!” But Y2-Shine could actually increase his strength. He slightly rotated his wrist, and the pulse beam became several times thicker.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a streak of arrow light came from Y2-Shine’s left side.

It turned out that Honghu had circled to the opponent’s side and launched an attack with a light arrow, “How can I let you do whatever you want!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

At the same time, on Y2-Shine’s right side, continuous fist shadows flew over.

“Tianma Meteor Fist!” Tianma Xingkong, who felt uncomfortable not shouting the name of the move, had also attacked.

“Courting death!” Y2-Shine raised his neck to the sky and roared. Then, he actually used his ears to release beams of light to both sides of his body at the same time…

“What!” Honghu and Tianma Xingkong didn’t expect such a move. These two’s moves were actually very similar to Y2-Shine’s light beams, both energy attacks, but the power was slightly weaker. Now that the other party’s pulse counterattacked, in an instant, they turned from defense to offense, turning the tables.

Just in this flash of lightning, two crescent-shaped slashes suddenly flew down from the air, cutting off the two pulses.

“As expected…I still have to rely on me to solve it…” Feng Bujue’s voice came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw Jue-ge hovering in the sky above Y2-Shine, holding his hands in front of his chest, opening his palms, and circling a range with the index finger and thumb of both hands, aiming at the Derivate below his feet.

“Hmm?” Y2-Shine, finally realized something…

Although in these short few seconds, one of the double Rashōmon had already been shattered, Y2-Shine still chose to stop attacking and looked up.

If he hadn’t looked up, it wouldn’t have mattered, but when he looked up, he was shocked…
