The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 415: Mantis Catching Cicada (asking for monthly ticket)

[Oh my god, you are not dead!!!]

Seeing several huge exclamation marks appearing in front of him, Xu Shu's mouth twitched.

If you are so shocked, you should give it an entry for "anti-the-sky". You are just a guy who shouts slogans but does not take action.

Zaotai Chujuan, he really likes to pour cold water on people as always!
This Revelation Array was powerful, but the sulfur fire inside was truly terrifying. Even Zhong Xiaoya's high-grade alloy body was melted. It was probably several thousand degrees high.

Although the "Dragon Elephant"'s body is strong, it is flesh and blood after all, and cannot survive under such terrible flames.

The "Blood Sky", which was almost immune to physical attacks, was also defeated this time and would only die faster under the burning flames.

If it were an ordinary "dragon elephant", facing such a tight net, it would be impossible to escape and would perish here.

But so what?
This type of formation is certainly powerful as a means of killing the enemy. It can concentrate the power of several people who set up the formation together and greatly enhance it, exerting a power far beyond their own limits.

However, no matter how powerful the means are, they cannot be perfect and there will always be weaknesses.

The weakness of formation-based tactics lies in the word "formation".

Its killing range is very limited. The faster the formation is formed, the smaller the attack range.

For example, the "Revelation XIII" in front of us can only kill within the pentagram, a small area of ​​less than 20 meters in radius.

"Humph, you think you can trap me with such a petty trick? I am the Supreme Dragon Elephant, who can kill me?!"

[Oh, at this critical moment, you were confident and confident, looking down on the crowd, and started running at full speed! You are indeed a legendary dragon elephant! ]

[But this doesn't seem to have any effect, because the ground inside the formation is slipperier than a loach, and your movements look like Tom Cat marking time.]

[Seeing such a funny scene, the five paladins couldn't help but laugh out loud, mocking your fearless struggle.]

[“Foolish, weak, tiny reptile! Accept the Lord’s judgment!”]

[The enemy occupying the 'spiritual' element position in the upper position of the pentagram magic circle smiled coldly and made a cold female voice. It was obvious that she was a pampered and high-ranking holy female knight. ]

[Unfortunately, their smiles didn’t even last for a moment before they came to an abrupt end.]

[As you were stomping on the spot, your body suddenly became invisible and began to spin wildly in the venue at a super high speed that could not be seen by the naked eye.]

[It is Yang Shen's breakthrough skill: Wear Nine and Step on One·Kun! ]

[You possess a special skill, and you target the female knight who taunted you, spinning in the air.]

[Although sulfur fire can melt gold and iron, it cannot punish you in your invisible state. 】

[After spinning for two and a half weeks in one breath, you reappeared outside the magic circle! Behind the female knight!]

【Click! 】

[“Humph, you want to kill me? You’re looking for death!” You crushed the seemingly indestructible knight’s silver armor and shattered the knight’s armor, grabbing the female knight’s neck from the inside.]

[This is a young lady with blond hair and blue eyes. Her graceful figure tells how rich her family background is, and her delicate and yet contemptuous eyes tell how noble her upbringing is.]

[However, such a beautiful, powerful, and noble lady is now in your hands like a helpless chick, struggling desperately but unable to pry your fingers apart. You are simply a demon from hell.]

【“No, what happened? How could he escape!”】

[“Damn it! You dirty lunatic, let our companions go!”]

[“Voodoo, what are you waiting for? Why don’t you take action now!”]

[Seeing that you were able to escape from the formation and subdue one of their companions with one move, the other four male paladins were extremely anxious.]

[The strange thing is that although the four of them cursed and shouted at you, no one came to your aid. Instead, they tried their best to form seals, and their hands left afterimages.]

[This includes the female paladin you caught. Although she couldn't break free, her ten fingers were still forming seals like dancing with flowers and butterflies, with a look of shock and anxiety on her face.]

[Oh! It turns out that this magic formation is activated, and they are at the center of the formation. If they leave rashly, they will be attacked back. It will take time to resolve it! ]

[“Hmm, there is such a thing?!”]

[After understanding the secret, your eyes suddenly brightened up. Instead of rushing to kill him, you looked up. ]

[Facing the platform above the dome, the man in black robe looks down and his eyes meet yours.]

[“Haha, you have some skills, but why are there only you and that little bitch puppet? Where is Yu Mingluan?” Voodoo narrowed his eyes, quite calm, as if he didn’t take the fact that five teammates were restrained by you seriously.]

[When you see this, your spiritual perception expands, and layers of strange, greasy colors suddenly appear around the other person, like colorful bad pixels on a damaged screen.]

[“Strange, what other tricks do you have to deal with me?” You think that this person is so arrogant that he must be ambushing you. You immediately become alert and decide not to take the bait. You beckon him and say, “Come down and I’ll tell you.”]

[“Aren’t you coming to kill me? Why don’t you dare come up on your own?” Voodoo was calm and didn’t fall for it.]

[“Come down if you dare.” “Come up if you dare.” “Can’t you come down?” “Can you come up?” “Fuck you, you’re a voodoo bastard!” “? Humph, you think you can provoke me?”]

[“You’re not coming down, are you? Wait for me!”]

[In the completely meaningless war of words, you snorted coldly and turned to the paladins and said: "Everyone, I guess you don't want to be burned to death by sulfur fire? Humph, let him come down and fight me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."]

[“What do you want?” The paladins were all shocked. They didn’t expect you to threaten them. How shameless.]

[“Hmph, you are so talkative. You won’t do what I tell you. I will show you how powerful I am! Miss, you were the one who just said I was weak and insignificant, right?”]

[As you speak like the devil's voice from hell, you let out a wicked laugh and grab the back of the female knight's neck. Snap! ]

[This time, not only the armor, but also the close-fitting leather armor and soft armor were torn into pieces by you. ]

[The proud female knight immediately became like a drowned chicken. You showed no mercy to her and bullied her severely.]

【? 】

[Okay, okay! Brother, let's do it now! This is your real purpose, right? You are indeed a newborn, doing such evil things in public, you are simply a real devil! ]

[Seeing the holy lady in their hearts being humiliated in this way, the other four paladins opened their eyes wide and roared in disbelief:——]

[“Barbaric! Too barbaric! How is this different from an animal?”]

[“Damn it! Stop it! Let go of Miss Jones!”]

[“Voodoo, please come down, buddy, please stop this devil who deserves to go to hell, and don’t let him defile our companions!”]

[“No! Please stop, this is a sacred battle, you can’t do this, you can’t do this~”]

[They either scolded or begged, but no one was willing to stop what they were doing and risk backlash to save their companions. It seemed that although their companions were important, they were far from worth the risk.]

[Under your close combat and merciless torture, Paladin Jones finally couldn't help crying: "Sir, I was wrong, please, I know I was wrong, please let me go, wuah wuah~"]

[“What’s the use of knowing you’re wrong? Call the voodoo down!” You are ruthless and beat me mercilessly.

[“Wuwuwu, but, but…” Paladin Jones tried to beg for mercy, but her screams were gradually becoming out of tune, like a high-end record player, with pure sound, precise pitch, and thick bass.]

[“How dare you! Not only did you not do what I said, you even dared to hum in secret? Well, well, it looks like you have already found a way to die!” You were furious when you heard this, and slapped Jones to death as she reached the top. ]

【? 】

[Fuck, this is against the will of heaven. ]

[As expected of you, you are indeed the messenger of justice. You cannot be corrupted by wealth and power. As the savior of the wasteland, you will naturally not be obsessed with the beauty of a mere enemy. You have a face full of Ahegao and your hands are full of heroic tears! ]

[You are not satisfied with this. Seeing that Voodoo is unmoved, you finally don't want to waste any more time. You throw away Jones's fragments and hunt down her companions one by one.]

[“Hmph, if you can’t even call down a single person, what’s the point of keeping you here? You can also seek death.”]

[You charge up and strike hard. Every time you catch someone, you attack them with a powerful and heavy Iron Mountain.]

[Faced with your terrifying power, some of them tried to stand and resist, but were beaten into a paste; some were anxious and forcibly ended the formation to avoid it, but were backfired and their nine orifices sprayed black oil and could not move, and were also beaten into a paste by you. ]

【boom!boom!boom! 】

[Damn! Damn! Damn!]

[Silver armor and skull flew together, meat paste and sulfur fire were the same color. ]

[Jack, Jones, Shredder, Armani, Yukson, ... the above five third-level paladins of the Red Emperor Army, although they had the upper hand, they failed to gain anything and eventually died under your iron fist of justice.]

[“Rubbish! Not worth mentioning! Five people together, at best they can only be as powerful as the Four Friends of Winter! But this magic circle is a bit interesting!”]

[You rubbed your neck, your eyes as calm as a sage, and suddenly chuckled: "Have you seen enough? Do you think you won't die if you hide up there?"]

[As you said this, you jumped up like a kite, and with your backhand a dazzling golden rainbow shot out into the sky! ]

[Wow! Now there is no doubt that you used the method of burning the dagger with raging fire to humiliate Jones just now, and there really was no worldly desire in your actions!]

[Your real goal is to condense this perfect killing move: Sun-Chasing Golden Spear! ]

【At the same time, you chanted in a low voice: "Explode!"】

[With a bang, Voodoo staggered a few steps. You detonated the 'gaze poison' that he had planted when he stared at you.]

[Good, good, strong! Too strong! Your every move not only exposes Jones, but also exposes the enemy's conspiracy, because you are the most insidious person.]

[Although you are a little reckless on weekdays, in battle, you can always use means beyond imagination, and you are fully worthy of the evaluation of being cunning! ]

[As expected of a cunning person on the Human Ranking 360! 】

[Faced with your powerful and fatal attack, Voodoo can no longer dodge. 】

[However, at this time he did not laugh in anger, but whispered darkly: "Under the fresh sacrifice is the fertile soil of the abyss of despair, and the last hope alive in the ruins.

"I would like to pay my highest respects to you with this offering."

[Snap! He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers]

[Instantly, overwhelming pressure burst out from the remains of the five dead bodies in the pentagram formation. The ground shattered, and another more complicated formation was revealed under the formation, instantly forming a huge siphon vortex.]

[It absorbed the revengeful will of the five dead Paladins, their despair before death, and even the power you released when you killed them, and condensed it into an unparalleled aura of destruction, which burst out.]

[This aura enveloped you, easily destroying everything, including the Jingwei Sea Filling Technique you hurriedly used to save your life.]

[Under the cover of such an indescribable aura, all your methods seem to have lost their meaning, because this is not an attack, this is a sacrifice, a special sacrifice in the form of death and sacrifice. ]

[It has no sacrifice target, or the sacrifice target cannot be responded to, so all sacrifices are manifested in the form of attacks. ]

[The five powerful paladins you killed were the best sacrifices. You killed their lives, and they killed you with their lives—even though they didn't know they had already become sacrifices.]

[But it doesn't matter. Now that you're dead, no one will mention it. I'm sure Miss Jones would be very happy if she knew about it.]

[There is no time to mourn your death, at this moment - punishment is coming! ]

[At the end of life, you hear Voodoo whispering a prayer: "My Lord was born in destruction, hides in destruction, and descends in destruction! We destroy everything and usher in the Lord's rebirth! Thank you for your efforts, you and I are both Quintessence!"]

[As he finished speaking, he was hit by your Sun-Chasing Golden Spear, and in the brilliant and hot explosion, he turned into broken, rusted and rotten gears and bearings all over the ground.]

"Fuck!!!"

Xu Shu's eyes widened, and he tried to transform into 'Blood Sky' and struggle.

However, under the aura that seemed to destroy everything, he was unable to resist and lost consciousness. Then his eyes blurred:
[You are dead, this journey is over, settlement in progress...]

[Evaluation: You were the first to go deep behind enemy lines, and you turned the tables when you were caught in a trap. However, you still died under the enemy's calculations in the end, and this time you were killed by a non-targeted sacrificial magic circle.]

[Friendly reminder, the name of this magic circle is——"Extinction"! ]

[You get the item: Life and Death (Excellent)]

[You triggered the keyword "Against Heaven" this time, and your reward for this time is increased by one level. 】

Life and Death (Excellent)》Life and Death (Flawless)

[Life and death (Wu Xia): Life and death, the cycle continues, who can tell the difference? Sprinkle this bottle of life and death powder, you will be able to revive a person who is dying within a certain period of time. The rebirth of a person who is dying is just a fleeting moment. Seize the time to squeeze out the value of this dead person, this is not a true resurrection. ]

[Number of times opened today: 2/3]

……

……

Wow!

The blurry vision of death before his eyes instantly dissipated, and Xu Shu returned to the present from his journey and to the entrance of the underground passage.

"Shit, I was actually sacrificed to death! Damn Voodoo, it's too insidious, they actually called five helpers to be cannon fodder, I went in and fell into the trap, and then I killed five paladins, which was still a trap, good, good, a great Quincy Scepter!"

Coming back to his senses, Xu Shu felt angry and a little emotional.

As expected, there are countless heroes in the world. If you underestimate the enemy, it will be a way to your death.

He took a breath and turned his head to find Xiaoya, who looked serious and concerned.

"Hey, Brother Xu Shu, why are you panting so hard? Are you nervous?
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoya will protect you! Of course, although Wudu is a bad person and I really look down on him, we can't underestimate the enemy. We have to be very alert next time."

"..." The gentle voice beside his ear and the advice that made him feel like a spring breeze made Xu Shu's mouth twitch involuntarily.

Although I had long doubted the reliability of this girl, I was still surprised when the time came. I never expected that she would be so unreliable.

That voodoo is so powerful and so insidious, you dare to send a puppet to deal with it?

Oh, although Xiaoya seemed to want to sacrifice herself to save me when we were trapped by the first magic circle...but you are just a puppet, can your sacrifice be considered a sacrifice?

Damn, I feel like none of you "mechanical experts" are good people. Your teammates are responsible for the life-threatening tasks, but you send a puppet to run around and yell...

Fortunately, I was a step ahead and had a backup plan, using the Taichu Scroll Journey Mode to explore the way! Otherwise, I would have been really screwed this time!
Xu Shu thought silently.

But when he thought of Hua Hua who had just tried her best but was still tricked, he became more and more angry. He couldn't help but grab Xiao Ya's neck and lifted her up: "Damn it, you tricked me into going to die while you were hiding behind me, right? Is this how you treat your old friend, Xiao Ya?"

"Ah? Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about!" Xiaoya was stunned and screamed in a hurry.

But she was afraid of disturbing the enemy, so she cried very softly, like a little hamster with its neck pinched.

"You're still pretending to be stupid, right?" Xu Shu was so angry that he exerted force with his hands without saying a word.

Click!

Xiaoya's neck was twisted off by him.

Calves, arms, kidneys, hearts, all kinds of messy metal internal organs were scattered all over the floor with a clang, and precision bearings, capstans, screws and other objects that had been polished to a shine were rolling everywhere.

"Hey, Brother Xu Shu, what are you doing? Xiaoya is a mechanical expert. The arrival of the puppet means my arrival, it's the same as mine~" Seeing this, Xiaoya could only helplessly try to get away with it.

Xu Shu made a "pooh" sound and put her on the ground.

He thought about what had just happened for a while, his eyes rolled, and he whispered, "I have the ability to predict the future and see through the future. Just now, I had a sudden impulse and was inspired by the will of heaven, which made me sense a hint of danger! It is not appropriate to act today, but I have to discuss it with you."

Xiaoya extended many thin metal tweezers from under her neck to grab the lost gears. While reassembling her body, she asked with wide eyes: "What? Revelation? You have such a method? Are you a genius who practices both the knife and pen official and the dragon and elephant?"

Xu Shu looked at her sci-fi and weird movements that were enough to make ordinary people lose their sanity, and continued without comment: "I think the source of the danger should be the helpers called by Voodoo. Among the inspirations I got, there is some information..."

Xu Shu made up a lie like this, squatted down and drew on the ground: "There are some very strange guys, they are wearing silver armor, chanting the Holy Emperor, and there is a big Y on their chest..."

Before he could finish his lie, Xiaoya glared at him and said, "Fuck! The Apocalypse Paladins of the Red Emperor Army! Strange, how dare these wild dogs come to Penglai District?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, tell me in detail, who are these people?"

Xiaoya pressed hard, put her head on her neck, twisted it and said:
"According to your description, if nothing unexpected happens, these guys are from the Red Emperor Army, and they are paladins within it, all of them are good third-level fighters. Oh, by the way, do you know the Red Emperor Army? It's one of the five major legions of the Salvation Army."

"I don't know much about them, but I've heard that they are similar to the White Emperor Army and the Black Emperor Army." Xu Shu said quite honestly.

"Yes, yes." Xiaoya nodded.

She had just opened her mouth to say something else.

At this time, Xu Shu suddenly interrupted her: "Are there people from the Red Emperor Army who betrayed humanity and cooperated with the secret religion to summon the evil god?"

"???"

Xiaoya was so surprised when she heard this: "Fuck, how did you know such a secret? Aren't you a senior prosecutor?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu was slightly stunned and thought to himself, I was the one who got this information out, how do you mean I know that?

Moreover, from what she said, it seems that only those with a certain level of authority in the Judgment Department can know the contents of my report about District D8B3?
Bai Sanxiang said that he reported it to his superiors... Wait, so that means Xiaoya’s rank in the Judgment Department is no lower than Lao Bai’s?

This is incredible. He is suspected to be the Chief of the Judgment Department of the First-Class Safety Zone...

Xu Shu was amazed, but felt a little troubled.

The voodoo below is just a puppet, not his real self. It seems that I have made a wasted trip today.

Just retreat like this?

But also somewhat unwilling.

Because of the big explosion, Xu Shu had absolutely no good feelings towards the Salvation Army and wanted to kill them whenever he saw them.

Now there are exactly five guys on the other side, and they have run into the muzzle of my gun. It would be a bit uncomfortable if I don’t kill them.

But if we fight hard, we can defeat it. However, the "annihilation" magic circle hidden under the "Revelation" seems to be difficult to deal with.

Or tell Xiaoya that the enemy is numerous and powerful, and ask her to call more people?
As a high-ranking official in the Judgment Department, it is not impossible that he does not have others who can be used as cannon fodder... This seems to be possible. At most, my income will be a little less, but that is not a big deal. Anyway, I am only here to help today...

Thinking of this, Xu Shu was quite interested.

The enemy can call for help, and so can we ourselves.

He was just about to put this idea into action when an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Wait, Quench, sacrificial attack...sacrifice?"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up.

Because the sacrifice just now was different from what he had seen before, he didn't think of this at once.

But after careful consideration, I suddenly realized that "annihilation" is essentially a sacrificial ritual.

Although it seems that the normal praising of miracles and reciting of prayers are missing, in fact all these procedures are still there, but they are hidden by voodoo and carried out secretly.

In essence, "annihilation" is similar to the sacrifice of the Abyss Cultists to the evil gods, but the direction of use is different!

That is to say...

"Can my Mark Altar replace it?!"
