This world is terrible

"The newly appointed Fifth Apostle of Paradise Lost, it wasn't in vain that I used [Justice] as bait; I finally managed to catch you!!"

"what?!"

As soon as Cui Ke finished speaking, three low shouts rang out in unison.

Ye Sanqiu was shocked, because Cui Ke was referring to none other than the "righteous" candidate whom he had actively contacted and placed high hopes on.

Zhao Ying was delighted, delighted that the "Fool" Cui Ke had mentioned, who had fallen into enemy hands, was now being delivered right to her.

As for Gao Yi, who let out a third exclamation, he was taken aback, as if asking, "Huh?"

So I'm actually the fifth apostle of Paradise Lost?
Good heavens, I should have known! Thank you, Taro... what the hell!

While laughing in exasperation, Gao Yi pondered the accusations for a moment and understood the other party's intentions.

Clearly, he wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work; otherwise, there would be no need for him to smear himself.

In this way, his identity is pretty much confirmed, since there is probably only one person in the whole world who hates him so much.

"Who was spouting nonsense? It turns out to be you, you cowardly coward."

Gao Yi stopped abruptly and sneered, "Looks like you've changed into a new skin again. Who are you playing this time? Uncle Lu, or Professor Gong? Do you need me to help you play a detective game to set the mood?"

"Skin change? Impersonation? Judge, what he's talking about is..."

Ye Sanqiu sensed the sarcasm in Gao Yi's words and looked at Cui Ke with some suspicion, but was interrupted by the latter bluntly: "It's just a few disguises to deceive people. I have to do this in order to numb Paradise Lost. It's not worth mentioning."

"But you, Old Ye."

Cui Ke held up the scales, his righteous spirit awe-inspiring: "The Fifth Apostle is not only good at disguise, but also adept at bewitching people's hearts. Even Jian Weilan fell for his tricks and died in the underworld."

“I know you’ve crossed paths with him and even collaborated on some kind of issue of justice, but please remember that what you’ve seen is just a facade, not the real him.”

"A truly trustworthy person would never alter their appearance. You've probably noticed it too, haven't you? Beneath the moisture on this guy's face lies a fake face, and beneath that fake face lies another true face."

"How can we trust someone like that?"

"..."

Ye Sanqiu fell silent.

On the one hand, through observation, he trusted his own judgment and believed that Gao Yi was a person worth winning over.

On the other hand, he could not deny that [justice] is the authoritative voice that embodies fairness.

These conflicting thoughts battled in his mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He hesitated, but someone else made a move.

whoosh-

In the swirling rain, a hurried figure darted out like lightning, heading straight for Gao Yi!

It's Zhao Ying.

This guy lived up to his name, like a rampaging chariot charging toward his target—clearly, he didn't care whether Cui Ke's accusations against Gao Yi were true or not, nor did he care about the identity and status that the person in front of him might be hiding.

From the disappointment of struggling for justice to his current renewed inspiration, he holds onto only one profound truth.

"Hand over—[the Fool]!"

Is this what you wanted to see?

Faced with a formidable enemy, Gao Yi remained calm and composed. Instead, he glanced at Cui Ke, who was slowly approaching, and realized that in the current situation, no words could resolve the predicament. Only by extricating himself from this predicament and turning the tables could he possibly...

Do you think I don't exist?

boom!
Gao Yi dodged Zhao Ying's descending attack with a swift movement.

Through the bursting rain and mist, he saw the man's exposed, bulging muscles, his hands clenched into fists, blasting a half-palm-deep crater into the asphalt road below, with several spiderweb-like cracks spreading out and instantly covering all directions.

"Don't even think about escaping." Zhao Ying, having missed her first attack, stood up again as if she didn't need to catch her breath, and threw a punch at Gao Yi.

But this time, his terrifying power did not completely dissipate into the air.

Instead, they were accepted without question.

boom!
—Ancient ominous signs!
Gao Yi blocked Zhao Ying's attack with one hand, and at the same time, Yi Hua, representing the strongest combat force at present, flashed the [Life and Death Flow] skill.

"Ok?"

Zhao Ying, on the other side, let out a soft exclamation.

The figure shrouded in mist suddenly became imposing, and then a large patch of dark clouds rose up, like a ferocious beast blocking his way, preventing him from advancing an inch.

In the instant their fists clashed, through the protracted struggle with his opponent, Zhao Ying's mind subtly stirred with an exciting conjecture.

Is this some kind of close-quarters combat attempt? ...How dare you!
So many years...

Since it was given the name "Chariot," no one has dared to compete with it in this field.

Is this "Fifth Apostle" before me simply ignorant and fearless, or does he truly have the confidence to rival me in this path?
—It's time to get a little more serious.

"Is this the 'chariot' that Ye Sanqiu mentioned?"

On the other side, Gao Yi, caught in the struggle, was also thinking rapidly, while inwardly muttering, "He really is a troublesome mad dog."

"I'm being attacked by him now, and there's someone else defending me. I can't escape at all... I need to think of a way to drive him away first!"

[Dark Humor] — Banned!
The two illusory images of the alternate paintings lost their luster, and then [Life and Death Flow] was activated. Gao Yi's body switched between [Soul Hunt] and [Imperial Guard], and finally received the numerical bonus of the second seal.

Two restrictions!

boom!
Gao Yi unleashed his brute force, suddenly overpowering Zhao Ying's strength and interrupting the brief struggle. Then, he clenched his right fist and delivered a powerful upward punch straight to the latter's jaw.

This is the decisive, final move.

Even if a primordial artisan has embarked on the path to demigodship, as long as they have not yet transcended the realm of humanity, they will inevitably suffer severe damage from this attack by someone of the same level.

call--

The wind howled as Gao Yi raised his fist, but as soon as the momentum was formed, his arm was met with a swift downward strike from Zhao Ying.

This is a major obstacle to the uppercut, not only disrupting its power generation but also putting him on the defensive once again.

This guy is trying to follow up with a dive and takedown... No, if this drags on, it'll just become a back-and-forth tug-of-war.

In that instant, Gao Yi judged the opponent's superior fighting skills, and his expression became even colder.

In a one-on-one contest, he was happy to analyze his opponent's stats and original skill information bit by bit in endless rounds of attack and defense, but not now. His opponent was not only the 'chariot', but also the instigator who was eyeing him covetously, and... Ye Sanqiu, whose identity as friend or foe was currently unknown.

This is destined to be a relentless, encircling battle.

If he cannot break out of the encirclement in time, his future will be one of being attacked from both sides and devoured by the hyenas until his last drop of flesh is dried up.

There's no time to hesitate!
"seal up!"

Faced with Zhao Ying's impending dive and slam, Gao Yi steeled his heart, completely dispelling the last shred of hope in his heart, and went all out.

Thus, all the alternate art that Gao Yi brought on this trip, except for the [Candy Parade] which possesses an invincible life-saving skill, was sealed away by the [Ancient Omen].

Six prohibitions!

The six forbidden alternate art pieces enhanced his attributes in every way.

Two ferocious beasts, their phantom images poised to pounce, surged and roared behind him.

"Go away!"

With a shout, Gao Yi raised his knee and delivered a powerful knee strike to Zhao Ying's face as she dove down! (End of Chapter)
