Chapter 716: Chapter 628: I Will Crown You (3)
Without waiting for anyone to react, Lu Shuhang had already dashed out of the building, transforming into a shadow and darting upwards.
"Wait, Lu Shuhang!" Xiao Xinzhu shouted out.
A Tianyou Shark was attracted, changed direction and moved away, while another maintained suppressive fire on the Assassin’s Creed team.
With frontal suppressive fire weakened, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree managed to stop and catch a breath, slowly sitting down along the wall.
"Youyou, watch your right rear."
In the voice channel, Xu Xiaoyou spoke with a reminder.
Bai Youyou looked toward the direction the girl pointed out, indeed spotting a figure closely following behind. At this moment, Lu Shuhang was enshrouded in shadow, countless bullets passed through the stirring shadow without causing any harm to the youth.
"What’s up with this guy suddenly, why did his fighting style become so aggressive?" Nan Jiamu puzzled on the stands.
"Finally pulled himself out of that shadow encasing him?" The loli analyst clapped excitedly, her expression playful.
"This is the real him! Aggressive, swift, deadly, and lacking empathy."
"Don’t look at me like that, and don’t act as if you’re the one who understands Lu Shuhang the most. I dare say, I know that introvert much better, and far earlier than you do."
"Allow me to introduce myself, I’m the chief tactical analyst of ’Assassin’s Creed’, Boat Night." The loli analyst lifted her skirt and smiled.
"I was present throughout their attack on the ’Heroic Spirit Hall’."
"Boat Night, I’ve heard of you, the precious daughter of Zero Energy’s chief executive officer." Another analyst spoke.
"Hmph, that’s just the most trivial label for me." Boat Night waved casually, her small face full of pride, raising her eyebrows at Nan Jiamu.
"Old loli." Nan Jiamu whispered.
"What did you say!?"
Upon hearing this, Boat Night’s eyebrows nearly shot up, her cat-like pupils instantly shrank into vertical slits, looking like a feline about to enter battle mode.
Nan Jiamu didn’t respond.
In this era, for the upper class who hold vast resources, what troubles them is not birth, aging, sickness, and death; prolonging life is merely a matter of surgery and having a perfectly prepared body.
During the process of changing bodies, the wear and tear of consciousness is inevitable, and this is what truly troubles them.
A body as young as ever, yet carrying an aged and weathered soul, slumped in a wheelchair with a catheter, communicating through a digital screen. No one would want such immortality.
Powerful cleaners choose to accept calmly the decline of their lives, or to burn themselves at the end. Like the famous "Ghost", who did something monumental at the end of his life, clearing all obstacles for the Young Master of Chichu Heaven.
Nan Jiamu tapped his chin with his fingertips.
He had heard that the chief executive officer of Zero Energy had his last daughter at the age of nearly 175 thirty years ago...
He looked at the angry, snarling Boat Night.
Even though, for these upper-class people, being thirty is equivalent to being a ’loli’.
But just thinking about the ’loli’ in front of him, the cute exterior housing a thirty-year-old woman’s soul, was hard for anime-loving Nan Jiamu to accept.
Boat Night couldn’t be bothered to argue with Nan Jiamu.
She looked at the screen: "You don’t really think, the Assassin God is just about passing on, do you?"
"This guy’s trump cards are very well hidden."
...
"Chain!"
Bai Youyou aimed at Lu Shuhang but found she couldn’t lock onto him.
The gathered golden chains shattered inch by inch in the air.
In his shadow state, Lu Shuhang could not be targeted by any attack.
Her charm was insufficient, unable to wield a wide-range Word Spirit like Tang Xin or Xu Xiaoyou.
As Lu Shuhang rapidly approached the black box, the distance between them dwindling, Bai Youyou abandoned the strong shield in front and was bombarded entirely by shells.
Bai Youyou endured and lowly shouted, her fingers sliding, the rules of gravity reversed once more, and her body was instantly covered by a furious bombardment, flipping uncontrollably in the air, nearing a heavily injured state.
As soon as Lu Shuhang emerged from the shadows, the black box flew backward to the lower right, unable to escape into shadow, a blast shell came whistling, severing his right arm.
"You’ve been hit by Dark Gold Rose’s ’Farewell Gift (High-explosive Shell)’, maximum life capacity reduced by 25%, healing effects decreased by 100%, lasts for 30 seconds."
Pain surged into Lu Shuhang’s consciousness, blood splattered into his eyes, he looked towards the lower right. Xu Xiaoyou’s [Eye of Death God: Transcend] had completed its lock on him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions resounded, the shadow burst through the confines of smoke and dust, except for losing an arm, Lu Shuhang suffered no greater injury, aiming directly at Bai Youyou in midair.
Wind roared around her ears, Bai Youyou suddenly opened her eyes, under Life Link, her injuries were completely transferred to Tang Xin, as she raised her hands to softly chant, shields unfolded around her.
A fully activated Bai Youyou clashed head-on with Lu Shuhang, her swung heavy hammer wrapped in a wild gale, coming down as Lu Shuhang emerged from the shadow!
The heavy hammer briefly touched the dagger pair, before starting to collide, each clash accompanied by a heavy energy explosion outward, Bai Youyou suppressing Lu Shuhang downward, forming a Machine Pivot Court around her.
The two were diving downward at a hundred meters per second, accelerating, layers of air barriers below being broken, emitting explosive sounds.
Facing the storm-like swung heavy hammer, Lu Shuhang’s gaze locked onto the overhead object, only able to place his daggers in front to defend against the assaults from above.
Lu Shuhang took a deep breath, shadow emerged from the protective daggers, rapidly enveloping his entire body, a massive snake-shaped phantom formed behind him, the ghostly purple pupil phantom piercing through the thick fog, dazzling brightly.
The shadow arm stretched out, his daggers casually perched on his shoulder, crisscrossing crescent blade light struck out!
In Bai Youyou’s perspective, the dark purple blade light magnified endlessly, like a serpent’s bite, annihilating everything, directly shattering the Machine Pivot Court!
Bai Youyou raised her hand, divine light erupting behind her, a more magnificent Machine Pivot Court formed, countless golden restraints streaked through the air, forming chains, thrusting towards Lu Shuhang’s face.
"My heart is shadow."
Countless chains collided head-on with Lu Shuhang, the latter flying backward, his gaze stern, through the crisscrossing daggers shadow emerged again, and then forcefully swung, top-down blade light obliterated everything!
Amid the large falling purple light, golden restraint chains were involved and shattered.
A sense of ominousness suddenly formed in Bai Youyou’s heart.
Having shattered the chains, Lu Shuhang triggered ’Rampage Unrestrained’, transforming into a spinning violet windmill of fury, splitting all the chains along the way, in the blink of an eye, he slashed through everything, menacingly arriving before Bai Youyou.
Crossed crescent blade light arrived biting, in Bai Youyou’s perspective it grew larger and larger, overwhelming the world. Her chest burst out with large blood streaks, falling like a wing-clipped bird.
