Chapter 74: Chapter 71 “Tracking”+”Qi Nourishing

[Lin Qianxuan: Save them!]

(Goes up to battle Tong Gong.)

After Lin Qianxuan issued the command, the game screen changed.

Instantly, it turned black and white, with only some red weak point marks on Tong Gong’s body; the game character had activated the Eyes of Death.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared under the game character’s feet. At the same time, water flowed around his body, and in an instant, he was already close to Tong Gong.

Immediately, the Dawn Blade, transformed from myriad phenomena, slashed out fiercely.

Tong Gong’s expression showed surprise.

Apparently, he hadn’t anticipated the game character’s speed to be so outrageous.

In the next scene, Tong Gong raised his shield to block the game character’s blade.

“Clang~! Boom~!”

Tong Gong was directly blasted away by the game character’s immense power, crashing towards a distant wall.

Before hitting the wall, he crouched his legs slightly and borrowed force from the wall to barely stop himself.

The wall behind him started to crack and spread from his feet.

Even so, Lin Qianxuan had to praise the good quality of the architecture here.

At this time, the game character launched forward again, slashing down with the blade.

With the game character’s speed, Tong Gong could not evade and could only raise his shield to take the attack head-on.

However, this time, he was clearly more cautious.

Around Tong Gong, a brown divine energy glowed, revealing a fierce and vicious Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, covered in bone spurs, more than five zhang tall.

Fortunately, this main hall was big enough; otherwise, this Primordial Spirit Dharma Form might not even be able to stand upright.

“Boom~!”

Tong Gong’s shield collided with the game character’s blade; his Primordial Spirit also exerted force, and the power increased several times compared to before.

However, he still couldn’t compare with the game character.

Tong Gong’s body retreated repeatedly, leaning against the wall, reduced to simply being on the receiving end of attacks.

Not far away, members of the Rebel Army began to rescue the concubines, but as they approached, they were almost bitten by these women.

A few even became deeply corrupted on the spot, and the Rebel Army had no choice but to kill them.

[Tong Gong (angry): Enough!]

With a sudden roar, Tong Gong’s eyes turned ruthless, and simultaneously, his power surged, forcing the game character back with one blow.

It appeared that Tong Gong’s muscles began to swell rapidly, tendons and bones twisted, and a massive amount of filthy qi visibly seeped from his body.

[Tong Gong (glaring at everyone): It’s all your fault! I will sacrifice all of you to the dirty god!!]

With just a screen transition, Tong Gong grew to over ten meters tall, with twisted, ugly sinews and muscles.

At this moment, Lin Qianxuan had another turn to operate.

Whether to fight or retreat was up to him to choose.

Running away was impossible; he’s right at the peak of combat power now. Don’t be fooled by the big size of this guy; if the game character transforms into a dragon, it’d be much bigger.

(Combat.)

A simple command was issued, and immediately the game character, without a word, again used the Rising Sun Stepping Technique, with water streaming around his body, heading straight for Tong Gong.

His right arm manifested a Dragon Claw, with scarlet divine energy pouring into the longsword he held.

“Swoosh~!”

The air was torn open, making a sharp noise.

“Clang~ Bam~!”

The terrifying power collided, causing Tong Gong to retreat slightly.

At this moment, Gongsun Ying also made a move.

She took advantage of the situation to slash out a blade of Sword Qi, aiming directly at Tong Gong’s legs.

Tong Gong didn’t even glance at Gongsun Ying; the Sword Qi fell on his legs and directly dissipated.

Though Gongsun Ying was quite strong, without her Bursting Qi state, she was probably just first-class in this world, and none of these corrupted lunatics they encountered along the way were below the top tier.

“Boom boom boom boom~!”

The game character’s form swiftly maneuvered in the air, the Rising Sun Stepping Technique erupting with explosive sound and brilliant light.

Tong Gong was beaten into a chaotic state.

Suddenly, a strike accompanied by water flow and Sword Qi fell, which Tong Gong could not block.

“Pfft~!”

“Boom~!”

Tong Gong’s massive left arm was sliced off, falling directly to the ground.

[Tong Gong (panicked): No! How can it be? This is the power of the dirty god; you’re just a mere mortal, how can you…..]

Tong Gong showed panic on his face, grabbed his shield with his right arm, and suddenly thrust it forward.

The next moment, a giant crocodile head manifested on the shield, snapping its jaws towards the concubines’ corpses on the ground.

“Crunch, crunch~!”

After chewing twice, the shield devoured them.

At the same time, Tong Gong’s left arm began to recover.

“It can heal by consuming mobs? So, do you have to clear the mobs first to defeat him? Is this the effect of the Divine Machine?” Lin Qianxuan mused with some understanding.

While Tong Gong was recovering from his injuries, the game character was not idle; after that strike, he once again used his body technique to prepare another slash.

However, after Tong Gong manipulated the shield to consume those corpses, he directly chose to flee, violently smashing through the doors and walls, heading to the rear hall.

Lin Qianxuan had another action turn.

[Gongsun Yue (nervous): Young Master, do not chase a cornered enemy, be careful of ambushes.]

[Lin Qianxuan (shakes head): Evil must be eradicated; leave it to me.]

[Gongsun Ying (steps up, looks at you): I’ll go with you.]

To be honest, it’s not that Lin Qianxuan liked to play the lone hero, but the problem is, right now, even in Bursting Qi state, Gongsun Ying is like a super soldier compared to the game character, not much help.

Moreover, if she dies, the game will end prematurely.

Who knows what kind of monsters lie ahead? If the Gongsun sisters accidentally get hit by an AOE attack, who could he find to reason with?

Sometimes, he really had no choice.

[Lin Qianxuan: You stay here; the rest is up to me.]

[Gongsun Ying (concerned): No, I can help you.]

[Gongsun Yue (nods): Yes, Young Master, I can be of help too!]

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): Now I am the leader, listen to me!]

[Gongsun Ying (shaking head): This is something that concerns all of us. Why should you bear it alone?]

Lin Qianxuan had a bit of a toothache; at a time like this, still arguing over such a storyline, couldn’t they be more decisive?

Thinking it over, Lin Qianxuan decided to play the emotional card.

[Lin Qianxuan (gently): Be good, Ying’er. I promise I’ll be back. Trust me.]

[Gongsun Ying (blushing, a bit flustered): Hmm…..]

Alright!

This move works.

(Pursuing Tong Gong.)

The game character’s feet burst with light, streams of water wrapping around him, propelling him forward instantaneously.

Though the conversation took some time, Tong Gong’s large figure clearly wasn’t fast.

Even running later, the game character quickly caught up.

The Imperial Palace’s rear hall towers high, with columns of muddy smoke rising not far away.

At this moment, Tong Gong’s figure stopped in front of the smoke column.

There stood a statue.

A gigantic black statue hundreds of meters high, its form obscured by the smoke, had gone unnoticed by the game characters before.

The statue looked like a conglomeration of countless beings intertwined, giving a bizarre and twisted sensation.

[Tong Gong (panic-stricken): Brother, brother!]

Tong Gong called out loudly to the statue.

The statue responded, as if countless voices echoed together.

[Tie Zhen: Why the panic?]

[Tong Gong (attacking): An intruder wants to ruin your plans, brother! He even injured one of my arms!]

At this point, the game character arrived, hovering in the air, watching that strange statue.

[Tong Gong (fearful): It’s him, it’s him!!]

[Tie Zhen (reaching out to caress Tong Gong’s head): Don’t be afraid, return to the embrace of the Muddy God, let’s enjoy eternal bliss together.]

From the statue, gigantic arms stretched out, pulling Tong Gong into its body.

Tong Gong’s expression turned peaceful and serene as his flesh merged into it, making the statue even larger.

Lin Qianxuan seemed to understand; apparently, this is how the thing grew.

By the way, why does the name “Tie Zhen” sound familiar? Is it the name of the sect leader who killed Wang Zhi, known for muddy intentions?

In a moment, Tong Gong disappeared entirely, leaving only a head of Tong Gong added to the statue.

The countless heads on the statue turned directly towards the game character.

[Tie Zhen (looking at you): Come too, the Muddy God won’t refuse anyone seeking eternity.]

[You suffered a spiritual attack, but your powerful spirit rendered you immune.]

“Darn, playing dirty?”

In the scene, arms tens of meters long stretched from the statue, aiming to grab the game character.

Lin Qianxuan decisively typed a command.

(Get him.)

With the command, the game character’s world turned black and white, and red death marks appeared across the statue.

“Boom~!”

The sun exploded, light blazing, while the game character shifted, with a sudden slash of dawn light.

A highly condensed red sword qi flew out, landing on a death mark.

Yet the result was just a slight tear in the flesh, without even a drop of blood flowing.

[Tie Zhen (merciful): Foolish people, why do you cling to this mortal life?]

[You suffered a spiritual attack, but your powerful spirit rendered you immune.]

“Boom~!”

Gigantic arms swung down, striking where the game character had been, pursuing continuously.

The game character’s form shifted quickly, employing full body technique to evade the attacks with incredible speed.

Along the way, he kept using sword qi, but it only added scratches to the arms, healing almost instantly.

The game character clearly realized that conventional attacks couldn’t deal with this bizarre statue quickly.

He directly used the [Rising Sun Stepping Technique] consecutively, pulling his form into the distance.

The statue couldn’t move, its arm’s attack range limited, leaving it unable to do much against the game character.

[Tie Zhen (compassionate): The muddiness of heaven and earth, the muddiness of human hearts, all things are muddy…]

[You suffered a spiritual attack, but your powerful spirit rendered you immune.]

Tie Zhen kept playing dirty, but the game character only paused briefly, then manifested a bow and arrow from the myriad forms in his hand.

This bow simulated Lou Zheng’s [Falling Goose].

It could condense Divine Energy Arrows and track enemies until the Divine Energy isn’t depleted.

Now, an extremely concentrated and dazzling red arrow formed quickly on the bow.

“Whoosh~!”

The arrow took flight, and on it, a terrifying Qi Blade at least ten meters wide appeared.

“Is that it?”

Lin Qianxuan saw this scene and instantly understood.

This was undeniably a “Tracking” plus “Qi Nourishing” characteristic combined for a strike.

In his previous assumptions, merging the two should release a super long-range, charged attack that can track enemies.

Unexpectedly, the game character actually used it and succeeded.

How much Divine Energy can the myriad forms accumulate?

Lin Qianxuan wasn’t sure, but the impact of this arrow was enough to awe.

The arrow shot towards the largest death mark on Tie Zhen, as Tie Zhen sensed the crisis, opening a gigantic mouth full of fangs on his stomach, spraying out a dark beacon straight at the arrow.

He also possessed long-range attacks.

The arrow and the dark light collided instantly, the arrow steadied forward, its Qi Blade being nullified, with their clash’s shock wave destroying much of the rear hall buildings, tossing sand, and peeling a layer off the ground.

“Swish~!”

The arrow pierced through Tie Zhen’s body, passing through his chest, leaving a gaping void.
