Chapter 401 - 173: Slaughter in the Game World! Demigods and Deities All Kick the Bucket
"AHHH!!!"
Overhead, an excited and crazed Jinx rode her Shark Cannon, blasting her way toward the Piltover Huangdao Bank.
Suddenly, a vine as thick as a water bucket shot toward her as fast as lightning. The vine was too fast for Jinx to dodge. In an instant, it bound her tightly, along with the Shark Cannon shell she was riding down from the sky. Then, under the watchful eyes of the entire city, Jinx was pulled directly in front of Shen Fei and his group.
"Ah!"
Before the gazes of the many Zu'an Heroes standing behind Shen Fei, Jinx was trussed up with only her mouth free to shout. She was left dangling in front of Shen Fei. Everyone watched as the look in Jinx's eyes slowly shifted from fury and defiance to confusion.
As Jinx was pulled closer, the Divine Artifact, Zu'an's Kiss, slowly began to take effect. The group around Shen Fei turned to look, drawn by Jinx's instantaneous capture. Meanwhile, chaotic Piltover descended into further disarray with the disappearance of the giant cannon shell and Jinx.
A few seconds later, a large group of guards charged toward Shen Fei and his group.
"Honorable sir!" a man dressed sharply in a suit called out from the front of the guards. "I am Piltover Councilor Federico! Thank you for apprehending this criminal for Piltover! Please, just hand over these Zu'an dregs, who are no better than sewer rats!"
The man saw Zhao Li, Huang Yi, and the others standing behind Shen Fei. He then looked at the trussed-up Jinx, followed by Zac, Singed, and the others standing beside Shen Fei, before he slowly continued to speak.
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!!" Before anyone else could respond, Plague Source Tuch had already spoken up. "You... you're the sewer rats!! What's wrong with being a rat!"
"AHH!!"
The sight of a half-man-tall, rat-headed humanoid creature suddenly speaking gave the councilor and the guards a huge fright.
"Honorable sir!" the councilor pleaded, as more guards began to surround them. "Please hand these Zu'an vermin over to me!!"
Some of the intelligence specialists even recognized that more than half of the Heroes from Zu'an behind Shen Fei were wanted by Piltover.
"Make your move!"
Shen Fei looked at the posturing Piltover councilor before him. He thought about the background story—how Zu'an was poor and filthy because Piltover bled it dry, yet the people of Piltover claimed it was because the people of Zu'an didn't work hard, that they were naturally stupid.
Shen Fei decided he had said enough.
Having confirmed through Jinx that this was a split world, Shen Fei knew what he needed to do next was complete the mission. There were only a little over twenty hours left on the compulsory mission timer. Not knowing how many powerful experts he would have to slay in the Land of Fu Wen, Shen Fei didn't want to waste any more time. Of course, the main reason he waved for his teammates to attack was that he had tried using the Divine Artifact, Zu'an's Kiss, and found that the red indicators above the heads of the councilor and his guards showed no signs of weakening. In fact, as they spoke, the red glow above their heads was intensifying.
Shen Fei decided not to waste any more words.
These Piltover people, especially the councilor, were all two-faced, smiling tigers. After the full update of Version 4.2, which clearly distinguished friend from foe, the health bars above their heads easily exposed the malice they held for Shen Fei in their hearts.
SWOOSH!
As Shen Fei gave the word, a sharp sword suddenly materialized, streaked through the air, and circled the area in front of them.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
At Shen Fei's command, Zhao Li instantly unleashed his Immortal Sword, annihilating the councilor and the surrounding guards in a flash.
"Speak!" Shen Fei's gaze was fixed on Jinx, whose bindings he had just loosened. Her eyes were wide and round. "Will you join my team or not?!"
WOOO! WOOO! WOOO!
Just as Shen Fei was about to talk with Jinx, this representative Hero of Zu'an, the war horns of Piltover suddenly began to sound. Zhao Li's Immortal Sword, in an instant, had slaughtered over a hundred councilors and guards whose heads glowed red, marking them as enemies. Such massive casualties instantly activated the great city of Piltover.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
As the horns—which only sound in the face of a city-destroying crisis—blared, Piltover, the City of Progress, fully activated. The ordinary citizens who had been gathered around to watch the commotion instantly fled for their lives into the surrounding buildings. Countless guards, wielding firearms crackling with blue energy, rushed out at top speed. On Piltover's countless spires and rooftops, panels slid open in an instant, revealing blue energy Giant Cannons rising into position.
"The Sheriff of Piltover is here!" a voice called out. "Surrender now, villains!"
Along with the deployment of countless nuke-like Hex weapons, a pair of young women appeared, traveling together—one wearing leather boots, the other wielding giant gauntlets.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Unfortunately, neither the suddenly appearing Hex weapons nor the charging Piltover Heroes were of any use.
With a nod from Shen Fei, Zhao Li's Immortal Sword shot back and forth through the streets of Piltover like a stream of light. In almost an instant, all the guards wielding Hex weapons kicked the bucket. Moreover, all the various Hex cannons that had appeared on Piltover's rooftops were blown to pieces.
Aside from Big Head Heimerdinger, the Combat Power of everyone else in Piltover comes from their weapons and equipment!
