Chapter 816 - 172: Blood Moon?
Su Changxing seized the opportunity, raised the sniper rifle with one hand, aimed at the Scavenger King’s head, and pulled the trigger.
A beam of fluorescent light pierced through his head and then exploded, but the tiny figure the size of a palm detached and continued wailing loudly, the sound growing increasingly louder and more chaotic.
"Is that his true form?" Su Changxing suddenly realized this point and turned the gun towards the palm-sized figure.
But before he could fire, he stopped his actions. The flesh on his arm had already completely decayed without him knowing when, emitting a foul stench accompanied by intense pain.
This was physical corrosion, and he didn’t know how the other side managed to achieve this.
Then.
He looked around the space and realized that the City of Decay itself was within a massive domain, a domain that was already fixed and embedded within this space.
Very obscure.
If the Scavenger King hadn’t used this domain to attack him, he probably wouldn’t have noticed.
This domain had already merged with this space, becoming part of the space’s rules.
At this moment, he was not fighting against the Scavenger King but against the entire City of Decay.
Su Changxing stretched out his other hand, dusk passed between his fingers, and a domain unfolded. However, he didn’t intend to confront the domain of the City of Decay but aimed to forcibly kill the Dark Night Lord.
He is the key issue.
In an instant, three domains surrounded the Scavenger King, completely restricting his movements, and the wailing sound grew louder and louder. Su Changxing’s flesh had already decayed significantly, seemingly close to death.
"Do you think you can kill me? I think it might be quite difficult."
Su Changxing held the Book of the Dead, walking step by step towards the Scavenger King, with more and more undead turning against each other, attacking other undead.
"Pastoral Spirit," under the blessing of the Book of the Dead, demonstrated a significantly terrifying threat, capable of easily detaining undead, rapidly forming an undead army in this world full of undead.
Su Changxing’s body, which was initially decaying flesh, began to visibly recover at a speed perceptible to the naked eye as he walked forward step by step.
A domain itself is a reflection of rules. As long as you can adapt to these rules, a domain itself is not fatal.
His Physique stat was remarkably high, and after resurrection, the Physique stat rose again, already approaching fifty-eight, enough to withstand the corrosion of this domain.
As it progressed, the Ability became increasingly imbalanced, often extremely leaning towards certain aspects. But Su Changxing was an exception; his Ability stats were evenly distributed, making him a hexagonal warrior, whether it be Spirit or Power, or Perception.
The Scavenger King roared, struggling with all his might but was tightly suppressed, unable to even unleash his domain, only to watch Su Changxing approach him step by step at a not particularly fast speed.
It’s suffocating.
The balance of power between both sides showed a clear tilt.
With a loud gunshot, a bullet pierced through the little figure’s body, though it didn’t hit directly, seemingly affected by some force during flight, causing the trajectory to shift.
But the force carried over still knocked off one of the little figure’s arms.
Immediately.
The little figure retracted into the Scavenger King’s head, and the body began to swell violently, attempting to break free with enormous force.
But it was futile.
Su Changxing’s domain was already very mature, with complete rules. In the current state of the Scavenger King, doubly weakened by plague and the Book of the Dead, there was no possibility of breaking free.
"Actually, if you hadn’t appeared in front of me, I wouldn’t want to kill you. What a pity, although there was no real grievance, I must kill you."
Su Changxing pulled out the silver revolver from his waist, raised the barrel towards the Scavenger King’s shattered head.
At this time, the Scavenger King really panicked, feeling the threat of death and shouted in a sharp voice:
"You can’t kill me. I have no intention of attacking your world, and we have a common enemy."
Su Changxing stopped his finger that was about to pull the trigger, smiled, and asked: "A common enemy? Specifically, what are you referring to? Do you undead have enemies too?"
The Scavenger King said in a hurried tone: "Of course we do, they are above. If we wanted to invade your world, we would have done it long ago, not waited until now."
"It’s only because of you. If it weren’t for you disrupting the City of Decay, why would I come looking for you."
Su Changxing looked up at the sky, seeing a blood-red moon that looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"..."
He had felt this before, but hadn’t paid much attention since moons like this exist in many worlds, nothing to be surprised about.
"Blood Moon? You mean Blood Species."
The little figure poked its head out, took a breath, and said gravely: "Of course, they’re ready to start a war."
"Those are terrifying entities, appearing suddenly, contacted our world."
Su Changxing frowned: "Have you never seen Blood Species before?"
The little figure sneered: "Never seen them, those things are extremely bizarre, devouring not only living creatures but also undead. The undead they consume cannot be revived."
"They feed on souls, it’s forbidden!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud gunshot, Su Changxing fired at the little figure.
The bullet’s terrifying power destroyed its entire body.
"What does it matter."
Su Changxing said indifferently.
Another series of gunshots followed, bullets completely destroyed the Scavenger King’s body.
But he was not dead yet; Su Changxing could feel that he was still alive, located in... the City of Decay.
This seems to be a strange Ability of the undead, able to resurrect in some way.
Su Changxing’s body turned into a beam of electric light, heading towards the City of Decay. Having decided to take action, he must kill the Scavenger King completely, or it would be endless trouble.
At this moment.
The pitch-black city seemed to come alive, lighting up with thousands of ghostly blue flames. The walls rose segment by segment, like a giant blood-red mouth that bit towards him.
"Are you going to oppose the entire City of Decay with us?"
The Scavenger King’s voice came from below, both fierce and lacking confidence. Su Changxing’s power indeed made him fearful, yet like a madman, he insisted on killing him.
Now he had already died once, and without a second chance for resurrection, once the City of Decay was breached, he would inevitably face a dead end.
"The entire City of Decay? I wouldn’t say so."
Su Changxing’s figure manifested in mid-air, a giant Buddha image unfolded around him, but it wasn’t golden; it was a ghostly green.
This was a Ghost Buddha.
Influenced by the Book of the Dead, the "Ancient Buddha in the Heart" ability also transformed, carrying a heavy aura of death, though the few Buddha faces still bore expressions of compassion, deep compassion.
His Buddha Nature was still fundamentally compassionate Buddha Nature, regardless of how the appearance changed, the essence didn’t change.
"What is that!"
The Scavenger King exclaimed in a panicked voice, feeling Su Changxing actually vying for control of the City of Decay with him.
He considered that Su Changxing might break the City of Decay, but not in this manner.
Su Changxing also noticed that the Scavenger King seemed unaware of the existence of the Book of the Dead, naturally not recognizing it.
This was somewhat strange, for an existence like the Scavenger King should naturally know about the Book of the Dead.
If the book had never been exposed, naturally no one would know it.
The massive Ghost Buddha swatted away the countless arms stretching from the City of Decay, then collided inside, crushing the ghouls wandering on the streets of the city.
