"Then, let's go to round two."

The lightning around him became brighter.

Xia Chuanhu's expression suddenly became indifferent: "So far, it was just a warm-up exercise. What's next is the [Fight to the Death] you really want. No need to be polite. Burn your life out. Since you have waited 50,000 years just to fight me, isn't it time for you to bet everything on yourself?"

"Come, fight me with all your might and determination, until your life comes to an end!"

The will to do whatever it takes?

"Ha ha......"

The Shura look on Qianjie's face became even more ferocious.

That was what he had planned!

“BOOM——————!”

faster speed.

Faster power.

It was clear that he had temporarily squeezed out his full strength with Xia Chuanhu's deliberate cooperation, but the power and speed that Qianjie erupted at this moment were higher than any previous data he had left!

And this power and speed——

"Boom——————!"

Ineffective against Xiachuanhu.

The straight punch took the initiative and penetrated into Qianjie's body at the speed of light!

And at the moment when the next [two seconds] ends——

“Crack——————!”

Xia Chuanhu, who turned into lightning, brought Qianjie directly to the edge of the barrier and shattered this barrier (stage) tailor-made for him as easily as breaking glass!

43. Now you are stronger

Time returns to the present.

It was not until a thunder spear hit Qianjie and Chiyou together, and tore the sky and the sea apart with thunder, that Xia Chuanhu noticed that he had arrived at the seaside in an instant.

"Buzz!"

Landing on the ground like a flash of lightning, Xia Chuanhu glanced around, then curled his lips: "Tsk, now that we are outside, we can't just do whatever we did inside. We have to hold back our strength from now on."

Xia Chuanhu had basically figured out the nature of the previous barrier.

After all, he had just smashed the barrier with his own hands. Specifically, that barrier was a double-layer barrier.

The inner layer of barrier was the barrier he had fought before. It had extremely high defense strength and a certain degree of conceptual defense. Even if he was not serious, he would not be able to break the barrier. The things in that barrier were basically the opposite of the real world, and the speed of time flow was also different.

This is why it is still bright daylight inside the barrier even though it is completely dark now.

The outer layer of barrier is an illusion barrier, and its main purpose is to cover up the inner barrier underneath - he would enter the barrier without knowing it, precisely because of the existence of the illusion barrier.

Unable to see through the illusion.

This was a very embarrassing thing for Xiachuan Hu.

But in terms of nature, the barrier is a very suitable [stage] for Xia Chuanhu. After all, this world is still a little fragile for him. If he moved the offensive in the barrier to the real world, the entire city of Guangzhou would have collapsed long ago.

In this regard, Xia Chuanhu was still very grateful to the person who set up the barrier. However, now that the barrier was broken by him, he could not continue to act recklessly in the real world.

——Self-transformation release

——Reduced magic output

As Xia Chuanhu's clothes turned back into ordinary casual clothes and his extremely vigorous magic power subsided, his unparalleled presence also receded like the tide, quickly weakening to the level of an ordinary person.

"So... from my perspective, it's been about a minute since we last saw each other, Sakura."

Xiachuanhu looked at Ying who was holding two swords not far away.

"Could you explain the current situation, please?"

"..."

Looking at Xia Chuanhu with a serious expression, Ying did not answer, but sighed after taking a look at the scene not far away: "I didn't expect that even Qianjie couldn't stop you."

There is no doubt that something went wrong.

Although the option of "defeat Xiachuanhu" was not included in the original plan, at least no one had thought of the possibility of him breaking free from the barrier - no, it should be said that someone had proposed it, but it was refuted by several people who made the plan.

[Based on the numerical values ​​and the total of 38 simulation experiments, the barrier is impossible to break! You can rest assured! ]

Thinking of what Weiwei said, Ying now felt complicated - what about the promise that it wouldn't be broken?

"If I explain the current situation, will you stop me?"

"That depends on the situation you describe. If it's a [bad thing] in the general sense, then I will get rid of you first, and then get rid of the big guy in the sea - that's a Honkai beast, right?"

Xiachuanhu's only experience of personally dealing with Honkai beasts was in Siberia. Compared with the Honkai beast he killed back then, the one in the sea now is much larger in terms of Honkai energy strength and sheer body size... or it can be said that it is completely on a different level.

Of course, this is only within the range of [Honkai Beast].

Even though he didn't know the details of the current situation, based on the current performance, Xia Chuanhu had come to the conclusion of "killing the Honkai Beast". After all, if such a large Honkai Beast walked ashore, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the city behind it.

But, since Sakura is here——

"...I'm only here to deal with the Honkai beasts."

After a moment of silence, Sakura replied, "Also, I may need to devour the bodies of Honkai beasts in order to regain my strength. Simply put... I'm here to hunt."

Hunting?

Xia Chuanhu narrowed his eyes, then smiled and pointed at the merged sea surface: "How about we make a deal? I will defeat this Honkai beast and give you its body later. In exchange, you have to take me to your base and tell me some information I want to know."

"——By the way, you have no right to refuse."

The added remark didn't surprise Sakura at all.

After all, in terms of strength, Xia Chuanhu is fully qualified to do whatever he wants, and she has no way to stop him.

but--

"no problem."

(Bringing him to the base is not a problem. His main purpose is to bring back his friends. As for the intelligence, we will have to adapt to the situation when the time comes.)

Sakura planned her next thoughts in her mind.

Xia Chuanhu also smiled gently: "Very good, I like your clean and neat approach. Then you should stand a little further away, so as not to be affected by me——"

“BOOM——————!”

Before Xia Chuanhu finished his words, a loud noise suddenly erupted under the sea!

The fluctuating sea level suddenly boiled, and a red flame carrying boiling steam jumped out from under the sea and landed heavily in front of Xiachuanhu and Ying.

“Haaaah…Haaaah…Huh~~~~”

Having already exited the state of artificial collapse, Qianjie, who was covered in wounds, gasped for breath, and a rare breath of weakness emanated from him.

That was a look that Sakura rarely saw.

After all, in terms of combat effectiveness, Qianjie's strength is genuine. No matter how dangerous the battle is, he is one of the few people who fight to the end. His endurance is so strong that people cannot help but wonder whether there is such a thing as a limit to his activity.

As far as Sakura can remember, she only remembers Qianjie showing such weakness in a few sporadic battles where they had very different incompatibilities.

"You're still alive. It seems you're not fighting hard enough." Xia Chuanhu said, "Do you want to continue? Let me give you a piece of advice. With your momentum already weakened, I can crush you with just one finger."

"..."

After staring at the defenseless Xia Chuanhu in silence for a long time, Qianjie seemed to have given up: "Although I don't want to admit it, you are stronger than me now - next time I will really kill you."

"If you can do it, then give it a try... I really want to say this, but you can't." Xia Chuanhu smiled, "But it's good to have a clear goal. I don't mind being your goal. Just work hard to [Kill me] as your next stage goal."

"I am always ready to challenge you, provided you can contact me."

After saying that, Xia Chuanhu crossed the thousands of calamities and arrived at the dock.

It's time to get down to business.

44. The Demon-Subduing Chef

Xiachuanhu has many ways to deal with Honkai beasts.

The simplest and most direct way is naturally to launch a high-power attack, whether it is the release of the holy sword or the magic cannon, or something else. With Xia Chuanhu's output, it is enough to directly evaporate the Honkai beast and the ocean.

But since he had promised to leave the body to Sakura, it would not be good to just evaporate it. Moreover, if it was output at a high power, it would definitely cause irreparable damage to the area.

He is the one who saves the world, not the one who destroys it. If he increases his output under the current circumstances, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

In this case, the most appropriate method is...

"——It's a good time to test it."

After crossing the Thousand Tribulations and arriving at the dock, Xia Chuanhu looked down at the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Chiyou that had begun to resurface from the sea.

Should we say it is worthy of being the oldest Judgment-level? Even after swallowing a lightning spear from him and almost having its head pierced through by him, it still maintained its vitality, and even the severely injured part was still wriggling, looking as if it was regenerating.

(It has good regeneration ability, um, more suitable for testing.)

Under the gazes of Qianjie and Ying, Xia Chuanhu raised his hands. A faint light lit up in the palms of his hands and quickly condensed into a translucent light gray crystal.

"Is that... the Herrscher Core?"

Sakura, who had participated in several battles against the Herrscher in the past and possessed the Key of God herself, immediately recognized the true identity of the crystal: "You, are you the Herrscher?"

"No. Since you already knew me before, the woman who told you about me should have said that I have never stood against humans. I have always stood on the side of humans and the planet." Xia Chuanhu laughed, "This is just something I forged with my ability."

——The core of the pseudo-law of reason.

Five years ago, after coming into contact with Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy, Xia Chuanhu realized the possibility of using the complete version of Fantasy Manifestation from his ability as the Ruler of Reason.

In the past five years, because he had never encountered an opponent who needed him to use the fantasy materialization, the progress in this regard was not very fast. In addition, with the opening of the Tianqiming technique, it can be said that the fantasy materialization was almost shelved.

Now is a good opportunity to experiment.

After condensing a core of the Herrscher of Reason that was even more realistic than five years ago, Xia Chuanhu briefly tried to materialize a simple fantasy.

“Huff, huff, huff————!”

A strong wind quietly blew up around him, and at the same time, the ground beneath his feet rose up like building blocks, and chains appeared around him like coiled snakes.

(Yeah, that's easy.)

There is no sense of resistance from the world itself.

The ability to materialize fantasy is the ability to change the world itself by one's own will. In essence, it can be said that it is the authority given to Xiachuanhu by the [world]. In the past, when using fantasy materialization, there was always a feeling of being hindered, as if the [world] did not recognize his authority.

But now, with the forged Herrscher Core in hand, that obstacle has obviously been alleviated to a considerable extent.

(With this range, it should be possible to handle it smoothly.)

"——【Fantasy Manifestation: Environmental Interference】——"

Holding the Herrscher Core in his hand, Xia Chuanhu rarely expressed his will in words.

In the past, when he used fantasy materialization, it was just a thought in his mind. However, such a momentary thought was actually quite fragile and would collapse at the slightest hesitation. This was even more so in the current situation where he could not use fantasy materialization freely.

Hence the use of language.

Fixing ideas through language is what is called "Word Spirit".

"Gravity Operation"

“Buzz————————!”

In an instant, Ying and Qianjie instinctively felt that there was some kind of change in the environment around them. Although there was no visible change in the environment itself, they could definitely feel a sense of disharmony.

what happened?

"【Speed ​​up 3,000 times】"

“Crash——————!”

Language affects reality.

At Xia Chuanhu's voice, the boundless ocean suddenly floated up to the sky in an extremely strange way. One stream after another of water flowed towards the sky like a dragon sucking water! It was as if there was an invisible vortex in the sky, swallowing up the entire ocean!
