"Watch out, he has the 【Death God】." Seeing 【Dusk】 take the 【Death God】 from his back and hold it in his hands, Li Moran called out a warning.
At this moment, Lu Ze was inside the central control bridge, surrounded by special glass reinforced with protective runes, in a position where 【Dusk】 could see him but not hit him.
Once he stepped out of the central control bridge, there was a risk of instant death at any moment.
"Facing the 【Death God】 head-on, even Junior Brother Lu would have to give way," Zhou Yue remarked with a sigh.
Although Lu Ze had repeatedly refreshed his understanding of operations, the concept of the 【Death God】 remained.
Under the 【Death God】, all living things are equal.
Regardless of whether one has six sets of gear or not, getting hit in the body means death. Even someone as strong as Lu Ze could not avoid it.
"Actually... in a one-on-one situation, it's not that scary," Lu Ze blinked and said with interest.
Since he revealed his true strength in the competition, he had received a massive haul of rewards, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
When Righteous Cultivators felt heartfelt admiration and shock towards him, the System would randomly copy something from them as a reward.
Such as skills, Divine Abilities, insights into the Dao...
As he created more and more Illusion Realms, everyone had grown accustomed to the delicacies, and they gradually lost that initial sense of admiration.
The emotions were more along the lines of "This is so fun," "This is so torturous," or "This is so heartbreaking."
For a long time, Lu Ze had rarely received such rewards.
Now, by taking action as a player and showing off a maneuver that exceeded the current version's understanding, he had unexpectedly drawn gasps of amazement from countless players.
It was just a pity that the greater the gap in Realm, the more precious the wool he could fleece.
His current strength on paper was at the Half-Step Soul Transformation Realm, so the rewards gained from the admiration of these Cultivators were incomparable to before, almost like mosquito legs...
But there were just so many people! The competition hosted by the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao had an exaggerated level of attention among Cultivators.
Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes were watching! When you add up all those mosquito legs, they become elephant legs!
Just the two recent operations of aiming and killing instantly had already earned him over a hundred years of insights into the Dao.
In other words, once he got his hands on the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao's "Dao Transformation Art," he could master it immediately!
Opportunities to show off and reap rewards in front of hundreds of thousands of Cultivators were rare, and Lu Ze didn't intend to let this one slip by easily.
His previous operation was already at the limit; he had to break through this limit again to harvest the admiration rewards from the Cultivators.
Therefore, Lu Ze decided to play big.
With that thought, he hung both 【Giant Wave】 and 【Death God】 on his back, and instead held 【Chixiao】 in his hand, walking forward unhurriedly.
...
Heavenly Dao Livestream.
Lu Ze's actions made countless barrage comments nervous once again.
【What is he doing!?】
【What's going on? Walking out without a gun?】
【What kind of tactic is this?】
【It can't be to promote the Chixiao skin, right?】
【If he doesn't die, this Young Master will give away one thousand Chixiao skins for free!】
【Could Old Devil Lu be throwing the match for money...】
【Oh no, we've been set up by Old Devil Lu! He must be in cahoots with the gambling Illusion Realm!!】
【Don't troll! If you die, I'll be bankrupt!!!】
...
Lingxiao Sect viewing area.
"Why did Junior Brother Lu suddenly put away his gun... and switch to his blade to walk forward??" Zhong Yi watched Lu Ze's perspective, confused, his heart instantly jumping into his throat.
"Junior Brother Lu, you need to think clearly, the opponent has the 【Death God】 in their hands!"
"And they don't play fair; if you get locked onto the chest, the disadvantage is too great!"
"Junior Brother Lu is about to walk out of the central control bridge... once he loses the protection of the glass cover, there isn't even any cover..."
"He's sure to die!!"
The more Zhong Yi spoke, the more anxious he became, wishing he could send a message to Lu Ze right now.
Just then, he noticed Lu Ze constantly waving the Chixiao in his hand, as if he was adapting to something.
Zhong Yi suddenly remembered that when he was researching various mechanics in "operation xianyuan continent," he had once met a Vyron in Puba who came in for a Knife-Run without bringing anything.
At that time, he fired a Spirit Bullet, which happened to hit the opponent's dagger, and then it just disappeared. There was no hit feedback.
Zhong Yi suspected at the time that daggers could block Spirit Bullets, just like ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the shield Deep Blue carried on his back.
It was a pity that the difficulty of reproducing this scenario was too high; plus, even if this mechanism were verified, there was no possibility of using it in actual combat, so Zhong Yi did not continue to investigate.
At this moment, for some reason, he suddenly thought of this matter. A nearly impossible idea instantly appeared in his mind.
"No... it can't be!?"
"Could Junior Brother Lu be trying to...!?"
...
Blue Palace platform, high up on the container.
"Seven..." 【Dusk】 held his breath, silently counting down in his heart.
As soon as the ten-number countdown was finished, his "Heavenly Eye" would activate, and the situation would be reversed.
"Six..." In his field of vision, Lu Ze was walking swaggeringly towards the end of the bridge, about to step out of the protection of the glass cover and enter his attack range.
Strangely, Lu Ze had no weapon in his hand, only a dagger!
"Five..." 【Dusk】 frowned, not knowing for a moment what Lu Ze wanted to do.
But regardless, Lu Ze did not choose to rely on ghostly movement techniques to attack, which was a good thing for him, as he was bent on stalling for time.
"Four..."
"Boss! He's looking down on us too much, actually coming out with just a knife??" 【Sunset】 was immediately annoyed and said in 【Dusk】's ear.
"That's right! In my opinion, there's no need to wait for the ninth Spirit Lamp... just use the 【Death God】 to teach him a lesson!" 【Black God】 chimed in.
"Three..." One of Lu Ze's feet had already stepped out of the glass cover, entering 【Dusk】's attack range.
【Dusk】's eyes were fixed on Lu Ze, his finger on the trigger never pulling it.
He was afraid. He was afraid that Lu Ze would make another unexpected move like before, baiting out a critical shot. Then, the person who would die might be himself.
"Two..." Lu Ze had completely stepped out of the protection range of the glass cover, his entire person completely exposed to the air, with no way to retreat. There was not even any cover.
"You...!" A feeling of being slighted instantly made 【Dusk】 start to get angry.
In this situation, there was no need for any "Heavenly Eye"... Even without the auto-aim bonus from the Ten Directions Spirit-Descending Array, it was impossible for him to miss!
"One..." 【Dusk】 pulled the trigger.
"Bang—!" The massive Spirit Bullet, carrying red flames, streaked toward Lu Ze's chest!
