Chapter 917 - 390: Cunning Villain, Let’s Have a Fair Duel! (3)
The fusion of demon-breaking power and divine power causes terrifying damage to the human body. Randy, who is strong enough to not resemble a human and has the Secret Magic Knight lineage, can only let out a muffled groan before collapsing to the ground, losing control over his body.
Seeing another two light arrows following closely, shattering glass and flying towards the group, the members of the Secret Magic Knight Order have faces ashen with despair.
Earlier, when they were cleaning up corpses, they doubted the transcendents from Bai She Avenue died so easily because they were too weak. Little did they realize that ten minutes later, they themselves would experience the despair those transcendents felt before dying.
Especially Bai Ma and Veronica, who were targeted by the light arrows. Under the immense threat, they couldn’t even muster the desire to evade, seeing flashes of their lives before their eyes.
Bai Ma looked at the dazzling light, recalling the summer sunshine of his childhood...
Before he could see clearly that childhood sunshine, he noticed a shadow in front of him, blocking him. It was not clouds but a silhouette.
He regains his focus and finds in front of him is none other than Sir Sean, whom players were supposed to protect.
Wu Chang now wields the Lake Light Holy Sword, shining over half a meter in his hand.
The light seems weak yet unwaveringly steady.
Wu Chang swings the sword at the light arrow shot by Xavier, extinguishing it effortlessly like snuffing out a candle.
He then reverses the sword to intercept the light arrow aimed at Veronica.
He examines the sword, finding that despite cutting through two beams of light, it remains bright without even the slightest nick.
No wonder it’s called the Perfect Sword.
"Item Skill: Perfect Sword."
"Skill Description: The Holy Sword blessed by the Lake Fairy guarding Steven. As long as the root within the sword remains intact, the sword blade will not be damaged."
He turns to shout at the Secret Magic Knights:
"Courage! There are only knights who die in battle, no knights who cower awaiting death!"
Perfect Sword, paired with his Blasphemer, is temporarily enough to intercept sporadic attacks completely.
But mere interception is insufficient; he must find a way to take down Xavier.
The good news is that Xavier possesses divinity; if he can get close, eliminating Xavier wouldn’t be difficult.
The bad news is Xavier remains floating in the sky, while Wu Chang cannot fly.
With steam rules sealing the power of space, Wu Chang lost mobility and displacement skills, leaving him temporarily without a method to approach Xavier.
While he ponders how to get close as he cuts down a incoming light arrow, he suddenly sees Divine Tongue dart out from the side, catching shards at the tip of the light arrow before it dissipates, opening his mouth to swallow.
Swallowed bits of the light arrow explode in Divine Tongue’s mouth, nearly blasting his head apart.
Wu Chang is startled by Divine Tongue’s action and scolds, "Are you crazy?"
Divine Tongue grimaces and exhales black smoke, saying, "I thought it was just ordinary root power attack; didn’t expect such intensity."
Speaking shows his gums and oral cavity blown to bits, blood constantly oozing out, yet his tongue remains intact, unaffected down to its taste buds.
Indeed, Divine Tongue truly earns its name.
He swiftly pulls out numerous bottles, mixing a potion while speaking:
"The process had some surprises, but in the end, there’s gain."
He already concocts a strangely colored potion, helping Randy drink it down.
Randy, consuming Divine Tongue’s potion, begins regaining strength, reclaiming control over his body.
The root power and divine power invading Randy’s body are as miraculously neutralized by Divine Tongue’s potion.
No way, can such a thing actually be neutralized by potion?
Wu Chang wants to scoff but restrains himself, watching Randy regain vitality, inspiration strikes him.
He points at the floating Xavier, saying, "Can you throw me over there?"
Randy estimates the distance, nodding, "Should be feasible, but are you just going over like that?"
Skyward Xavier, resembling an infinite-ammo turret constantly releasing explosive light arrows.
Trying to approach Xavier will likely involve enduring numerous attacks mid-air.
Even if Wu Chang can withstand, he’d likely be knocked back to the ground, unable to truly approach.
Wu Chang says, "As long as you can throw me over, I have my ways for the rest."
Randy takes a deep breath, "I need ten seconds of prep time."
Wu Chang nods, "Perfect, I need to prepare as well."
He turns his back to the group, activates the Favor of the Goddess of Fortune, uses the Lead-Filled Dice skill, rolling three 1s, triggering the Strong Luck effect.
Then he takes out a white belt, tucking it inside his clothes.
This belt, called White Ghost, was dropped from Blood-Colored Will during the Cursed Dungeon with Old K’s Boss.
Wearing the belt, he activates its eponymous skill.
"Item Skill: White Ghost"
"Skill Description: Activating briefly enters White Ghost state. Within White Ghost’s duration, no tech weapon can lock or aim at you, and against tech weapon area hits, you have a 30% chance of damage immunity."
Ten seconds later, prepped Randy returns to the group from next door.
According to him, he’s constantly suppressing his body with extraordinary abilities, attempting to appear ordinary. To throw Wu Chang to Xavier, he needs to lift this suppression.
Released from bodily restraint, Randy reaches an astounding three and a half meters, covered in thick hair, no longer resembling human form.
Wu Chang suspects Randy didn’t lift any physical restraint but directly used some transformation technique.
Randy asks, "Ready?"
Wu Chang nods, "Go ahead."
Wu Chang gives Randy a knowing glance; both simultaneously rush out the doorway. During the sprint, Randy grabs Wu Chang’s left hand, spins in place like throwing a discus, launching Wu Chang toward Xavier in the air.
Xavier notices their commotion, promptly adjusting fire, locking onto Wu Chang, releasing dense light arrows.
Yet under Goddess of Fortune’s Strong Luck enhancement, Wu Chang’s 30% damage immunity temporarily maxed at 100%.
The Strong Luck duration is brief but sufficient for Wu Chang to close in on Xavier.
If using True Self now, shouting "Man!" and delivering a fierce elbow strike to Xavier’s face would be exhilarating.
But shouting isn’t wise.
If Sir Sean suddenly starts throwing elbows, even idiotic players would notice something wrong.
Yet he planned other tricks for Xavier. He clutches the Lake Light Holy Sword in one hand, pulling out Knight’s Plate Armor Gloves with the other, smashing them toward Xavier, exclaiming:
"Treacherous villain, let’s have a fair duel!"
