Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 243 Falling Off
Zhao Yingkong was startled. She used the force of the three mirror images to launch a counterattack, while simultaneously activating her Shadow Shift skill and quickly flashing backward.

However, her true form's location had already been exposed. If Zheng Zha intended to kill her, she would surely perish given her speed. Before the three mirror images could even solidify into black shadows, they were incinerated by the crimson flames. Before exchanging for the advanced skill "Mirror Materialization," the mirror images possessed almost no resilience... especially since she was facing Zheng Zha.

Even though Zheng Zha's body appeared to have such a terrifying fatal wound, Zhao Yingkong knew that the sword strike was almost entirely ineffective.

Because what was wrapped beneath that human skin was not ordinary flesh and blood, but an inextinguishable flame.

Zhao Yingkong instantly reached another corner of the rooftop, and Xiaolian flew from her hand. This invisible sword, which could only be seen as radiating light, was now incredibly hot. Zhao Yingkong silently looked at her hand, which was covered with blisters from the intense heat.

She kicked Xiao Lian to her left hand, not out of fear of pain, but for greater efficiency. Gripping the short sword in reverse, Zhao Yingkong silently gazed at Zheng Zha. Her figure multiplied into four, standing at the four corners of the rooftop, subtly surrounding Zheng Zha.

A voice sounded in Zheng Zha's earpiece. He nodded slightly, then his eyes went blank as his gene lock continued to unlock.

"What's the point of her doing this...?"

Zheng Zha reached up and touched the bridge of his nose, his body erupting with dark red flames. Although he wasn't using his full strength, Zheng Zha was absolutely confident he could defeat Zhao Yingkong.

"Back in the Main God Space, Zhan Lan did propose this idea... to use the Mind Chains and the abilities of the Ghoul Clan to remotely transmit Qi Tengyi's dictionary power to another person," Zheng Zha muttered to himself. "But you haven't developed it yet, and I guess you won't be able to overcome the difficulties in the next couple of days."

Clad in dark red flames, Zheng Zha walked step by step toward a certain Zhao Yingkong. Based on his previous assessment, Zheng Zha was confident in locating Zhao Yingkong's true form.

However, he was not facing Zhao Yingkong alone, nor even just the controlled Zhongzhou team... The breeze was still blowing, and when Zheng Zha took a step, the weak point of the ground, subjected to tremendous force and high temperature, could not bear the weight and collapsed with a crash.

But Zheng Zha didn't fall into the pit; instead, he paused at just the right moment.

Four holy light shields appeared simultaneously at the four corners of the top floor, and four Zhao Yingkongs instantly took off, wielding the Xiaolian swords that only emitted light, and thrust at Zheng Zha.

However, the light emanating from Xiaolian changed slightly, as if it had been imbued with another power.

析！
These characters only manifested after Qi Tengyi enhanced the Thousand Word Dictionary. The so-called "analysis" means splitting wood. Under the blessing of this character, all kinds of special abilities and energies will be devastated. The blessing of this character is only for a single strike, and the degree of burden on Qi Tengyi varies depending on the strength of the target.

With the support of the superior bloodline of the Ghoul Clan and Zhan Lan, this Demon-Slaying Strike might just be able to suppress Zheng Zha's protective crimson flames.

"Ha ha……"

With death looming, Zheng Zha's foot sank into the ground, and before he could pull it out, Zhao Yingkong's swift thrust arrived.

Zheng Zha, as Qi Tengyi's teammate, had some recollection of every word Qi Tengyi used. Whether it was the Overlord's temporary concealment or the "Xi" word used to break the demonic barrier by Xiao Lian, Zheng Zha, as a third-tier expert, could react to them... Although Qi Tengyi's abilities were unpredictable and ever-changing, Zheng Zha was not caught off guard.

Zheng Zha had used this point when analyzing Zhao Yingkong's location earlier... Zhan Lan and Qi Tengyi's long-range support plan hadn't materialized yet, so Qi Tengyi must also be present. The appearance of the Overlord and Zhao Yingkong's series of assassinations were all just a smokescreen, a cover to hide Qi Tengyi. Apart from the Overlord being forced out by Mu Xiang and Zhao Yingkong's revelation from behind, the others' concealment hadn't been eliminated.

The gigantic, terrifying werewolf, the assassin whose image and shadow intertwine... are all decoys.

Including the recently appeared True Word Shield, Zheng Zha was certain that at least Qi Tengyi and Long Taobing were still present.

The same method used by Qi Tengyi. What exactly is hidden in the hidden treasure? Zheng Zha wasn't sure, but relying on his combat intuition as a third-tier expert, he could still head towards areas with more people.

Four Zhao Yingkongs and four Xiaolian swords seemed to be imbued with Xi's demon-slaying power. But Zheng Zha remained unmoved, simply pulling his foot off the ground... There was a sense of ease, like tying a shoelace before an impending storm.

His steps remained fixed in the chosen direction; though he had been on the defensive before, he was now launching an attack step by step. Zhao Yingkong was about to launch a powerful assassination attempt against him. Even if the Red Flame was temporarily sealed, Zheng Zha's flesh and blood were not indestructible... However, Zheng Zha strode forward, a dark red fireball leaping from his right hand, faintly illuminating the dark rooftop.

Zheng Zha seemed poised to unleash a fireball at Qi Tengyi or Long Taobing at any moment. With his cultivation level, a mere glance before striking was enough to deter them from making any rash moves, drawn by his aura. If the difference in their cultivation levels were vast, they wouldn't even have the courage to flee, let alone resist.

In this way, Zhao Yingkong seemed to be blocking his progress.

The four swords, their killing intent and demon-dispelling power fully concentrated on their blades, pierced into the crimson flames. Although the three mirror images shattered instantly, the real sword, Xiao Lian, advanced straight forward. Thanks to its demon-dispelling effect, the intense heat of the crimson flames could not penetrate the sword's body, let alone harm Zhao Yingkong.

But Zheng Zha's smile did not disappear. The so-called demon-breaking technique was already revealed in his use of the red flames... In the end, demon-breaking is also about using a kind of energy to interfere with other existences.

His crimson flames had long since reached the level of breaking through demonic barriers!

You can interfere with me, and I can interfere with you... My total energy is enough to support a massive amount of red flames, but is your spirit capable of bearing such a consumption?

What appears to be a contest between Hongyan and Xiaolian is actually a direct dialogue between Zheng Zha and Qi Tengyi.

Their skill levels were far too different, and even with such cooperation, Qi Tengyi would still find himself in a predicament that resembled a one-on-one fight.

As if to relieve Qi Teng's predicament, a bullet struck Zheng Zha's right hand. Then, he heard gunshots coming from a distant high-rise building.

This is Zero's support... Although the Gauss sniper rifle isn't in his possession, the Fangzheng Magic Eye belongs to Zero himself!
Before him was no longer the point-and-line vision of the Dot-Line Demon Eye, but a three-dimensional, abstract perspective. At this moment, Zheng Zha's blind spot was crystal clear. Although it was still changing rapidly, with the aid of bullet time, Zero Point could hit him from a not-so-distant distance!

When the bullet arrived, Zheng Zha's fatal point was his right hand, which was holding the fireball.

The bullet struck with a deafening roar, and Zero could see it clearly in the shared mental energy display.

But the next moment, Zheng Zha's right hand turned into a ball of dark red flame, and then fell off completely!
