Chapter 287: Chapter 286: Continual Deterioration

As these crystal monsters ’perished’ one by one, the man in the high-collared coat knelt on the ground, his face unusually pale, with strands of bright red blood flowing out from his crystalline skin.

The Lady of the House looked at this somewhat familiar figure before her, revealing a hint of indifference, and said, “What are you here for, what is the point, some things are destined, unrelated to you and me.”

The man’s face, full of ice crystals, still bore a faint smile, as he said:

“You can actually justify killing your own sister… this matter as a matter of course, Ming Mei, you’re a madwoman, absolutely mad.”

As he spoke, his expression settled into calmness, with a slight sob, and deep sorrow.

The Lady of the House’s complexion also turned gloomy, like a sponge squeezed dry, where the water was cold, just stuck at the zero point mixing with ice water.

Su Changxing couldn’t hear, but still intercepted this conversation through ’True Knowledge,’ which could be considered a clever usage of ’True Knowledge.’

Speaking of which.

That woman in white clothes is the Lady of the House’s sister?

And the previous woman of ice crystals was also the Lady of the House’s sister, only a sculpture doll monster created by the man using power, similar in appearance, but entirely different in essence.

This man is the Lady of the House’s brother-in-law, joining Teng Beng’s team to rebel against his wife’s sister for revenge?

This relationship seems a bit complex…

“This is not over yet!”

The man raised his arms high, shouting, his eyes turning pure white, like a puppet without consciousness.

The shattered stones on the ground transformed into ice crystals, flowing across the ground, spreading, forming countless strange symbols, letters.

Under the moonlight, these symbols made of ice crystals shone brighter, as if continuously absorbing radiance.

The area covered by these symbols, letters grew larger, covering the entire ruins, the whole battlefield.

This was a ceremony, a grand ceremony, the manipulator was Teng Beng, and the sacrifice was this man and a large number of dead people around.

Every move was tightly arranged, solely for reaching a final purpose, unrelated moves were discarded, even if efforts were made, they were insignificant.

Teng Beng deeply understood that capturing the general was enough, capturing the most crucial piece was sufficient.

This was the general’s move.

Fierce wind howled under the night sky, wrapped in heavy rain, raindrops grew sharp, falling painfully on the skin, like being cut by a blade with fine marks, not enough to bleed, but painful.

The head stared blankly: “Ghosts, these natives can actually perform such a complex structural ceremony, it’s too exaggerated.”

Su Changxing was somewhat surprised, yet not so surprised, as he had previously assumed Teng Beng might use a ceremony to counter the Lady of the House.

He had used a ceremony before to cunningly kill the ’Dean,’ that fat man, and suppressed the ’Dean’s’ residual soul.

So Teng Beng using a ceremony was only natural, he himself was a genius in this aspect, self-taught.

It was just that Su Changxing hadn’t expected the spectacle to be so grand, even sensing the building trembling.

“No, these Zombies are destroying the building’s base structure!”

Su Changxing realized the building’s trembling was not caused by the ceremony, but rather by the Zombies below.

Under conscious guidance, these Zombies were destroying extremely quickly, and in just a while, the supporting structure of the lower two floors had been mostly demolished, causing the building to begin collapsing from the bottom upward.

Su Changxing flipped over the railing, shouted back, “The building is about to collapse, let’s go down.”

He grabbed Zhong Jueqing’s body, running down the gently sloping outer wall, even with Zhong Jueqing’s weight, it didn’t affect him much.

To some extent, the building’s quality was still fairly good, even with most of the supporting structure destroyed, it hadn’t completely collapsed.

At this moment, they could see a giant eye of light forming in the sky, gradually becoming real, gazing at the Lady of the House, illuminating the surrounding space.

Teng Beng stood directly under the eye of light, also gazing at the Lady of the House, despite a collapsing building nearby, he didn’t shift his gaze.

“Sin!”

“I shall judge you!”

From his mouth came a cold, emotionless voice, strictly speaking, it could be likened to some kind of electronic synthesized voice, as if several people were speaking at once.

The Lady of the House’s expression finally changed greatly, unclear what peculiar thing Teng Beng had summoned, causing such an anomaly.

The next moment.

“Ah!!”

The Lady of the House knelt on the ground, struggling, with her skin rotting visibly, emitting blue smoke, like sullied with a strong acid.

Can it succeed?

Su Changxing hadn’t expected the ceremony to exert such strong power, suppressing the Lady of the House, a Tier Seven being.

The man’s body swiftly expanded, transforming into a grim-faced crystal monster, larger than previous monsters, charging fiercely towards the Lady of the House, its gorilla-like muscular limbs striking the ground with a loud crash.

The entangling vines were pulled off by him one by one, spilling scarlet blood.

Drawing closer.

Getting closer.

The Lady of the House’s frail figure was right in front, he only needed to smash down a fist, which seemed like victory.

The Lady of the House’s expression calmed down, her lips curling into a slender smile.

With intense vibrations, a gigantic figure rose from underground, blocking in front of the Lady of the House.

“Wow, haha, ha~”

A baby’s laughter spread across the entire ruins.

A ’Giant Infant’ with flesh turned outward and eyes glowing red like lanterns, sat facing the Lady of the House, shading the eye of light’s gaze, and blocking the crystal monster.

At this time.

Only then did Su Changxing, through ’True Knowledge,’ see the Lady of the House’s status.

[Corrupted Despair Warlock, Tier Seven, Middle Rank, can cultivate various ’pets’ through reasonable methods, possesses great influence over low-intelligence creatures, zombie-type creature influence increased by 50%]

In an instant, the crystal monster grabbed towards the ’Giant Infant’s’ heart and collided with it.

Against visual logic.

The crystal monster instead got flung back, tumbling to the ground, like hitting an immovable majestic mountain.

Soon after, the ’Giant Infant’s’ laughter turned to sobbing, exceedingly miserable, its flesh began to rot rapidly, the heartbeat slowed, the leaves on the vine behind it gradually turned yellow.

Su Changxing held his breath, seizing this moment, raised his silver pistol, aiming through thick black gauze, targeting the Lady of the House behind the ’Giant Infant.’

From the fiery muzzle, a copper-yellow bullet whirled out, tracing a gentle arc through the night sky, shooting towards the Lady of the House’s face.

This distance already exceeded the handgun’s range, but relying on the ’Pistol Enthusiast’s’ ability, the precise shooting range extended to two kilometers, just enough to reach.

The most formidable often become the prime target amidst chaotic battles.
