The soldiers crowded forward, filling the three hundred and sixty steps leading to the Deer Platform in an instant.
The dozen or so people at the front, with fierce expressions, shouted “kill” and forcefully thrust their bronze spears towards the muscular Buddha.
But the muscular Buddha’s movements were faster than theirs.
Swish!
The sharp battle axe swept across, directly cutting these soldiers in half at the waist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their mutilated bodies fell onto the steps, turning from a dozen people into over thirty segments.
The muscular Buddha took a step forward and swung the battle axe again!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
It was like harvesting wheat, chopping the heavily armed soldiers in front of it into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the muscular Buddha stepped on the corpses and advanced twelve meters, clearing the steps of enemies.
“Hongyao, let’s go!”
Lin Baici grabbed Guo Zheng and hurriedly signaled for Hua Yueyu to follow them down.
The pine torches were indeed effective fire-starting tools. Once the fire on the Deer Platform started, it burned even faster. In an instant, it turned into a towering pillar of fire.
Thick smoke billowed!
“Kill them all!”
Wang Yijiao kicked over the table in front of him, smashed the golden goblet on the ground, and then quickly rushed down from the high tower.
Clang!
He drew his sword.
Tang Zhiqian and Xiao Li immediately fled.
At the same time, the eunuch standing below the steps heard Wang’s command. He extended his right hand and grabbed Xiao Li, who was standing beside him.
Snap!
The eunuch choked Xiao Li by the neck.
“Tang… Tang ge… Help…”
Xiao Li cried for help, punching and kicking, and even used his right index finger to poke the eunuch’s eyeball, but the eunuch remained unmoved, still tightly choking his neck.
Xiao Li’s face turned red within seconds. Because of his exertion, the veins and blood vessels on his neck bulged, like earthworms crawling.
This was fate. If Tang Zhiqian had been standing on the eunuch’s right side, it would be him being choked to death by this dead eunuch now.
Tang Zhiqian, who had already taken a few steps away, heard Xiao Li’s struggle and wanted to go back to rescue him, but seeing Wang rushing down, he hesitated and fled even faster.
Xiao Li lifted his foot and kicked the eunuch’s stomach, and then punched its head.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The eunuch refused to let go, and even lowered its head to bite Xiao Li’s face.
Wang walked past the two of them without paying them any attention and headed straight for the Deer Platform.
On the platform, there was no more music or dancing from the singing girls. They all stared with wide eyes, wanting to kill, but they couldn’t squeeze through.
Some soldiers were besieging Gu Rongjie and the others.
“Don’t be afraid! Hold them back!”
Zeng Chuan waved a table to block the bronze spears thrusting towards him, shouting to boost morale.
“It won’t work, we’ll die if we keep this up. Let’s break through!”
Gu Rongjie shouted, “Wang Zong, lead the way!”
Wang Mingfu also waved a table. He didn’t want to charge forward. In this situation, whoever charged first would die, and it would definitely be a sacrifice for the people behind.
“Break through! Break through!”
Gu Rongjie pushed the people beside her, feeling anxious. She cursed, “Are you men or not? Lead the way and fight your way out!”
“Fuck, are you annoying or what?”
A man next to her couldn’t stand it anymore. He punched Gu Rongjie in the mouth, then grabbed her clothes and threw her out like a sandbag.
Plop! Plop!
Four bronze spears immediately stabbed into Gu Rongjie’s body, and blood flowed out of the wounds, making the bronze spears even more enchanting and beautiful under the moonlight.
Seeing this, Wang Mingfu knew the opportunity had come. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, crashing into Gu Rongjie. Then he used her as a human shield to forcefully create a path.
The soldiers were all using spears, and it became difficult to kill Wang Mingfu once he got close. Two of them let go of their spears and drew their swords from their waists, preparing to attack him.
“Run!”
Wang Mingfu shouted, hoping everyone would follow him. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble if he was the only one being targeted.
But Wang Mingfu was overthinking it. Everyone saw him open up a gap and rushed towards him.
At a time like this, who wouldn’t want to survive?
The two soldiers who had drawn their swords no longer pursued Wang Mingfu, but instead attacked the people passing by them.
Their swordsmanship was good. The necks of the two unlucky ones were slashed, and they fell to the ground.
Splat.
Blood gushed out, and they convulsed.
Hua Yueyu was both anxious and panicked. She had originally planned to follow them, but seeing this scene, she gave up.
Whoosh!
A spear thrust towards Hua Yueyu’s head.
Hua Yueyu had been a livestreamer for many years. In order to retain her fans, she had been constantly developing her talents and expanding her programs. Besides singing, she also learned dancing in a professional dance class.
Not the kind of revealing and selling her body kind of dancing, but the kind she had studied professionally.
So her body was flexible and agile, and now, the half-year of effort paid off.
Hua Yueyu dodged the spear’s attack and grabbed it, trying to snatch it away, but she pulled it, but it didn’t move. Instead, she was pulled towards the soldier.
Looking at the dead face of this monster, Hua Yueyu summoned the fierceness she had shown during the ten days of livestreaming for more than twelve hours each day in order to seize an opportunity.
With a bite of her teeth, Hua Yueyu rushed towards the soldier and raised her fist.
Divine Blessing activated!
Drunken Immortal Fist!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three quick punches hit their mark, knocking out the soldier. Then she forcefully pulled the spear towards herself, and while swinging it around, she quickly retreated to prevent the other soldiers from getting close.
With a weapon in hand, Hua Yueyu instinctively felt much safer, but in the next moment…
Snap!
A hand grabbed onto the spear.
“Let me borrow it for a moment!”Once, Zeng Chuan tried to snatch Hua Yueyu’s Changge, after all, this weapon, even if it was bad, was still better than a table: “I’ll take you there!”
“No way!”
Hua Yueyu refused.
“Damn it!”
Zeng Chuan became anxious and kicked Hua Yueyu’s abdomen.
The female anchor agilely dodged to the side and threw a punch, hitting Zeng Chuan’s eye socket.
If it was an ordinary woman’s punch, it would be impossible to hit Zeng Chuan, but this was a divine blessing.
Zeng Chuan hadn’t reacted yet and was punched. Immediately, he felt a little dizzy, like he had drunk too much while eating skewers on the street in the summer. He felt intoxicated, and even smelled a hint of alcohol.
It smelled good.
Hua Yueyu wanted to pull back the Changge, but she didn’t have a chance.
Several armored soldiers thrust their Changge towards her and Zeng Chuan.
The female anchor dodged, but Zeng Chuan, who was drunk, reacted slowly.
Puchi! Puchi!
The Changge stabbed into his body, and blood splattered out.
“It’s over, we’re done!”
Hua Yueyu felt despair, but at this moment, the bodies of those armored soldiers suddenly shattered like weathered rocks.
Even their armor and weapons were no exception.
“Huh?”
Hua Yueyu subconsciously looked towards Lin Baici on the deer platform.
Originally, there were more soldiers besieging him and Xia Hongyao, but now they were all shattered, except for Wang Chong who rushed over.
“Xiao Bai!”
Hua Yueyu shouted.
“Run!”
Lin Baici roared, leaving Guo Zheng behind and rushing towards Wang.
The deer platform was the core building of the Zhaixing Palace. As long as it was burned down, Wang’s immortality would be broken, and those armored soldiers, eunuchs, and singing girls would instantly vanish.
“Go for it!”
Guo Zheng shouted. He didn’t idle either, tearing his linen robe into strips, tying them around his broken leg to stop the bleeding.
Wang Mingfu didn’t care about what was happening on the deer platform. He was still worried about how to break through the encirclement of the soldiers in front, but he didn’t expect them to shatter.
It’s really a stroke of luck!
Wang Mingfu was overjoyed.
The deer platform was already ablaze, and cracks appeared on the platform of the Zhaixing Palace, shaking and on the verge of collapse.
Boom! Boom!
Some wall stones fell off.
Everyone was running away, except for Hua Yueyu, no one stayed.
No!
Tang Zhiqian, who had already run down more than thirty steps, ran back up again. He thought that if there were still monsters below, he would be in danger.
Now, following Lin Baici should be the safest option.
At this moment, Tang Zhiqian decided to gamble and bet that Lin Baici could kill the monster claiming to be the king.
He looked at Xiao Li.
The pale-faced dead eunuch had turned into dust, but Xiao Li had bad luck and had been strangled by it earlier.
“Hey!”
Tang Zhiqian sighed. If Xiao Li had held on for a while longer, and if he had helped him, they could have fought together and held on until the dead eunuch shattered.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Tang Zhiqian’s gaze involuntarily fell on Xiao Li’s left ear, where he wore an earring.
He and Xiao Li had gotten their ears pierced together.
Muscle Buddha faced Wang.
“Hongyao, don’t rush, let’s wear it down first.”
Lin Baici didn’t say something. Besides wearing down Wang, he also wanted to test what kind of attack moves it had. But he believed that Xia Hongyao would understand. Otherwise, if he said it out loud, Wang might leave a backhand.
“Okay!”
Xia Hongyao was confident in battle.
“You two, hide.”
Lin Baici instructed. He glanced around and took in the situation of the Zhaixing Palace.
The others continued to run down, while Hua Yueyu and Tang Zhiqian stayed behind, which was very dangerous.
“Die!”
Wang greeted the charging Muscle Buddha and swung his sword.
The Muscle Buddha didn’t dodge or avoid, but directly punched!
Bang!
The Muscle Buddha opened the bronze sword and punched again. The speed was extremely fast, and it solidly hit Wang’s face.
Bang!
Wang staggered back from the punch.
The Muscle Buddha immediately followed up, taking a bow step and twisting his waist, swinging both fists!
Oh la la!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Muscle Buddha’s iron-like fists, as big as a bronze plate, rained down like a meteor shower, solidly hitting Wang’s face and body, completely engulfing it in a flurry of punches.
[It’s useless. The weak point of this ingredient is its left eye, where there is a small piece of divine bone.]
[It possesses the divine blessing of the King’s Gaze. As long as anyone within three meters of it is stared at, their surroundings will become stiff, like wood.]
[Don’t make eye contact with it, otherwise, if it lasts more than five seconds, it can enslave you and force you to do as it says.]
[It also has a divine blessing of flesh and blood revival. As long as it devours freshly dead flesh and blood, it can immediately recover from any injuries!]
Food God’s comment.
[Overall, this is a very difficult ingredient to deal with. It has a small quantity and is extremely troublesome. It’s better not to eat it!]
Lin Baici didn’t want to eat it either, but the key was that Wang wouldn’t let them go.
“Hongyao, Guo Zheng, don’t make eye contact with it. I always feel that this guy’s eyes are not right!”
Lin Baici couldn’t say it too clearly, so he could only remind them in this way.
“Okay!”
Xia Hongyao nodded.
Because of her low intelligence and her trust in Lin Baici, she didn’t even consider how Lin Baici came to this conclusion. While she crawled to the side, trying to get away from the battlefield, Guo Zheng, who was still on the battlefield, couldn’t help but frown, looking puzzled.
Did Lin Baici have other powerful divine blessings that could gather information about the enemy?
Otherwise, why not make eye contact?
Generally speaking, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and many thoughts of a person will be displayed through their eyes. In a battle like this, observing the opponent’s gaze to judge their situation is basic operation.
Bang!
Wang fell to the ground and slid more than ten meters away.It was angry and raised its hand to throw the bronze sword.
“Die!”
The bronze sword flew out, attacking the Muscle Buddha with incredible speed.
The Muscle Buddha punched with its right fist.
Bang!
The bronze sword was knocked away, but it adjusted its posture and flew back.
Lin Baici stood up and rushed towards the Muscle Buddha.
The Muscle Buddha tried to hit the bronze sword again, but missed. With a single move from Lin Baici, the bronze sword flew back into his hand.
Lin Baici stared!
He glared at the Muscle Buddha, causing its body to stiffen.
Swish!
The bronze sword slashed across the Muscle Buddha’s neck, decapitating it.
Boom!
The Muscle Buddha shattered into glowing specks, dispersing in the air like fireflies.
“Oh my god, that was intense!”
Guo Zheng gasped.
“Xiaobai, Hongyao.”
Hua Yueyu worriedly called out.
Tang Zhiqian suddenly wondered if it was a mistake to stay here.
“Xiaolinzi, you flank, I’ll go first!”
Xia Hongyao fearlessly wielded her short knife and attacked the Muscle Buddha.
Guo Zheng used to look down on Xia Hongyao, thinking that she was just a pendant on Lin Baici’s thigh as a divine hunter, but now he changed his mind.
In the face of a fierce and terrifying monster, she dared to fight.
He didn’t know if she was brainless or truly brave!
“Together!”
Lin Baici charged forward.
“…”
Guo Zheng was speechless. Well, this person was also brave.
Lin Baici rarely had the opportunity to fight side by side with Xia Hongyao, and he was worried that their combined strength would be less effective than fighting separately. However, he quickly discovered that Xia Hongyao was a genius in battle.
Instead of fighting on her own, she used Lin Baici’s attacks to her advantage. When the Muscle Buddha was focused on Lin Baici, she launched her own attacks.
Corona!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Black blade lights erupted like coronas, shooting onto the Muscle Buddha and leaving behind wounds.
The Muscle Buddha became annoyed by the harassment and glared at Xia Hongyao.
The Muscle Buddha’s gaze.
Crack!
Xia Hongyao suddenly felt as if she was trapped in a swamp, her movements instantly becoming stiff and stagnant.
“Die!”
The Muscle Buddha swung its sword to kill Xia Hongyao.
Xia Hongyao didn’t panic. She was about to release her divine grace and escape, but Lin Baici’s Dragon Tooth flew towards her at high speed.
Ding!
Lin Baici’s Dragon Tooth deflected the Muscle Buddha’s sword.
Lin Baici grabbed Xia Hongyao and threw her away.
After Xia Hongyao moved three meters away from the Muscle Buddha, her body immediately returned to normal.
“Be careful, this monster can make people’s bodies stiff!”
Xia Hongyao reminded.
“Got it!”
Why did Lin Baici join the attack?
He wanted to test whether the Muscle Buddha’s gaze only affected one person or had an area of effect. That’s why he didn’t try to block the Muscle Buddha’s sword with his own hands, but chose to use his divine power to block it with his flying sword. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to move either.
Now it seemed that the Muscle Buddha’s divine grace was not an area of effect.
That made it easier to deal with.
“Hongyao, I’ll be the shield and attract its attention.”
This was the only option. Lin Baici was just an ordinary high school student a month ago and had never learned any combat skills. He didn’t even know if his divine grace had enough killing power. That’s why he took the initiative to be the shield.
“Be careful!”
Xia Hongyao didn’t hesitate.
The faster the monster died, the safer the shield would be. So Xia Hongyao unleashed all her firepower, even at the cost of getting injured.
“Damn peasant!”
The Muscle Buddha activated its gaze on Lin Baici, wanting to kill him first. But Xia Hongyao intervened in time, pushing Lin Baici away and slashing at the Muscle Buddha’s neck.
Unfortunately, it had little effect.
“You brat, look at me!”
The Muscle Buddha roared, becoming anxious.
“Don’t look at it!”
Lin Baici shouted.
Xia Hongyao, who was about to curse, quickly averted her gaze.
The Muscle Buddha threw its flying sword.
When the flying sword came towards him, Lin Baici swung his sword.
Ding!
The Muscle Buddha’s sword was knocked away.
Lin Baici quickly rushed forward to grab the hilt of the sword, but failed. On the other side, Xia Hongyao took advantage of the Muscle Buddha losing its sword and immediately launched an attack.
Shadow Dash!
Swish!
With a trace of afterimage, Xia Hongyao appeared in front of the Muscle Buddha like teleportation.
Eclipse!
Hiss!
The short knife flashed and stabbed into the Muscle Buddha’s neck. Then Xia Hongyao kicked off its chest with both legs.
Bang!
Using a somersault, Xia Hongyao moved away from the Muscle Buddha, and the short knife sliced through half of its neck.
Hua Yueyu thought Xia Hongyao was extremely cool in that moment.
Moonlight shone through the thin dark mist, and Xia Hongyao’s graceful leap in mid-air was as elegant as a dolphin emerging from the water.
Swish!
Xia Hongyao waved her hand and shot the short knife, piercing into the Muscle Buddha’s left eye.
“…”
Lin Baici was impressed. What kind of luck did Xia Hongyao have?
Xia Hongyao didn’t know the Muscle Buddha’s weak points, but she had a basic strategy in battle, which was to decapitate the monster and destroy its eyes.
Regardless of whether it was effective or not, she wanted to see if she could destroy its vision.
Xia Hongyao landed on the ground and sprinted to retrieve her short knife.
Roar!
The Muscle Buddha roared! Lower your head! Gaze!
Swish!
Xia Hongyao froze in place.
Lin Baici rushed over, blocking the Muscle Buddha’s sword aimed at Xia Hongyao’s high ponytail, and kicked her away.
The Muscle Buddha’s gaze!
This time, the Muscle Buddha glared at Lin Baici.
“Xiaobai!”
Xia Hongyao shouted.
Lin Baici released his divine grace!
Life’s Night Rain, Wild Buddha Blows Out the Lamp.
He actually wanted to use the Red Earth Clayman to harass, but he resisted the urge because it wasn’t the right time yet.
Spring Wind Brings Rain, Buddha’s Shadow Appears.
The Muscle Buddha looked at the Buddha’s shadow behind Lin Baici and realized the opportunity. It immediately pretended to be afraid and fled towards the stairs.
Xia Hongyao rushed over and pulled Lin Baici away.
After moving three meters away from the Muscle Buddha, Lin Baici regained his freedom.”Is the monster trying to escape?”
Guo Zheng shouted, “Don’t let it get away!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a massive amount of dark green mist erupted from the monster’s body, like an explosion. It engulfed more than half of the platform in an instant, making it impossible to see anything.
Lin Baici’s spirit was invigorated. He lunged towards Guo Zheng according to the direction in his memory. He knew the moment of life or death had arrived.
To live or to die,
It all depended on this strike!
“Xiao Bai!”
Hua Yueyu shouted, worried to death.
