The unexpected reversal caught Long Aotian by surprise. His pupils shrank. He did not manage to react in time.
Poof! The dagger pierced into his chest, but did not pierce the heart. At the critical moment, Long Aotian sent Li Xianyu flying with one blow.
Li Xianyu spewed out a mouthful of blood and flew back horizontally. At the same time, he roared, "King Kong!"
Rapid footsteps followed his shout — it was King Kong rus.h.i.+ng towards him. He was 1.92 meters tall, and as he rushed towards him, he looked like a rampaging bull. The ground shook beneath him as he stamped on it, expending energy with every step.
A man of steel!
Their offensive convergence was too fast. Long Aotian had no time to escape. With a deep roar, he met their a.s.sault with a punch.
Crack!
As the air currents pa.s.sed by the surrounding bamboo forests, the trees were destroyed with its sheer force.
Long Aotian's right arm was fractured, and King Kong was knocked down with a punch. He lay lifelessly on the ground, blood spewing out of his mouth.
"You betrayed me!" Long Ao-tian was furious. "Why?!"
Thunderbolt Battle Lady answered his question with some swift kicks. In a flash, she appeared behind Long Aotian. Her thighs, privately appraised by Li Xianyu as her best weapons, hinged Long Aotian's neck. She held onto Long Aotian's shoulders with a perfect human lock, and said delicately, "San Wu!w"
San u, the most powerful fighter, with an iron sword, leaped high and plunged her sword downwards, towards Long Aotian's head. A killer was a killer indeed, clean with her strokes and going for the vitals directly.
Everything would be over when this sword met its target.
But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Ye Liangchen, with a confused face from beginning to end, finally responded and said angrily, "Long Aotian can only die in my hands. Scram!"
He rushed over with the same sword, blocking San Wu's fatal blow.
Li Xianyu was speechless.
He didn't know how to puke at this instant. Are you serious, old man? Isn't Long Aotian your enemy, the one who killed your brother?
This cheat code was way overboard.
As he thought deeper, Li Xianyu realised that Long Aotian was a true Xiao Baiwen fan. This line was still very popular in novels today.
How toxic.
San Wu and Ye Liangchen fought together.
At present, King Kong was badly wounded by the blow. Thunderbolt Battle Lady locked Long Aotian in place; Lady Killer stood at the side to guard against accidents. It meant that only Li Xianyu could take action.
He gritted his teeth and rushed up again, ready to mend the knife. As he approached Long Aotian, something else happened suddenly. Thunder rumbled across the skies, as flashes of lightning appeared as well.
Lady Killer was right. As long as Long Aotian's life was threatened, he, being the protagonist, would be saved by his halo. Accidents would always happen, but in his favour.
Not far away, Lady Killer paid attention to the surroundings. Together with the thunder, he snorted coldly, waved his hand to eliminate the lightning, and shouted, "Before things change, kill him quickly."
Another accident happened again. An expert descended from the sky, as his voice sounded like booming thunder. "I am a royal wors.h.i.+p, who irked the people of my four families?"
A sword aimed itself at Li Xianyu.
Lady Killer pointed at it with his finger, as the sword disintegrated. He sprang up, using the administrators' authority to add a layer of buffs to himself, causing the huge pressure to disperse.
The royal wors.h.i.+p was astonished. "The most powerful person in the earth realm? Fare… farewell."
He vanished as soon as he arrived.
Lady Killer shouted, "Kill him quickly. Long Aotian is not so powerful yet. My existence will cause a bug in the system. If I kill him, I will be killed by lightning. But you can do it, you're just a n.o.body. Long Aotian can't respond subconsciously yet, but if you drag on, a master who I can't cope with will appear."
Suddenly, a man dressed in red appeared and said politely, "Eryue Hong comes for medicine."
Lady Killer replied, "No, go away."
Red Man said, "You are a master of the earth realm, you must have medicine."
The girl killer said angrily, "No, if you don't go away, I'll kill you."
Red Man said, "So be it. Goodbye."
In just over ten seconds, there were so many accidents in succession. Li Xianyu was numbed by the protagonist's halo and endured the burning pain in his chest. He rushed forward, grasped the dagger and stabbed Long Aotian with it fiercely.
The sharp blade pierced the heart. Long Aotian stared into the sky, letting out a beast-like roar.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Li Xianyu were sent flying by his shout.
Long Aotian covered his chest and staggered in an unstable manner. In a hoa.r.s.e voice, he said, "Why, why did you betray me?"
Li Xianyu replied, "I want to say that everything is fake. Do you believe it?"
According to the standards of this world, Long Aotian could only be regarded as a master of qi. Due to having his heart pierced by a knife, he was soon unable to hold on. He finally stared at Li Xianyu as his body slowly fell to the ground.
Success!
Everyone's eyes lit up as the mood became joyous.
The problem that puzzled the company for most of the year was finally solved. Everyone was very happy. Only San Wu was calm. At this time, she had already killed Ye Liangchen. Even if he was a local, he would not be spared as well, since he had met a killer like San Wu who killed indiscriminately.
"Dead. Entirely dead." Thunderbolt Battle Lady came forward and took a sniff before turning around, thrilled.
"Phew. Finally we can go out," King Kong remarked turbidly.
"Three hundred points! Ha ha ha," Lady Killer remarked as he danced around. "I want to exchange that for a lot of money, go to Hawaii for vacation, and find ten flower girls to put sunscreen on me."
Li Xianyu said, at a loss, "Why hasn't the virtual world collapsed?"
His pupils shrank as his voice fell, and he shouted, "Battle Lady, behind you!"
A huge pressure descended upon him again. Thunderbolt Battle Lady's body stiffened as she turned her neck inch by inch, seeing the resurrected Long Aotian.
At this time, his face was expressionless. There was an indescribable sense of sternness upon looking at his face. Thunderbolt Battle Lady knew that this so-called pressure was the effect of the formation. As she was in the formation herself, she was involuntarily gripped with a sense of fear and despair.
Long Aotian was not dead?!
The people who saw this scene felt like 10,000 alpacas were galloping through their hearts at the same time.
Was this ever going to f.u.c.king end?
Li Xianyu wanted to kill Long Aotian, not only in the virtual world, but also in the real world. Many colleagues in the company thought so too.
The clear sky was covered by dark clouds. Then, a golden ray of light broke through the clouds and shone on Long Aotian.
In an instant, he seemed to be one with the sky. He looked like a deity.
"Thank you for activating the sleeping spirit in my body and awakening the memories of my previous life," Long Aotian said.
"You can guess my real ident.i.ty," he said again.
At such an exciting moment, it was too dull for the supporting actor not to talk.
"I was born before the Heavens and Earth, the first G.o.d of the ancient world.
Holding a divine axe is beneath me, I am one with the earth and the heavens.
In one breath, Yin and Yang are fixed, both eyes turned into the sun and the stars.
The distance between the heavens and earth grows every day. Everything is finally on display.
It has been 18,000 years, all thanks to Pangu not attaining immortality." Long Aotian said, "Yes, I am Pangu reincarnated."
"f.u.c.k you. I've tolerated you for so long. Even if you're not awkward, I am." Thunderbolt Battle Lady delivered a roundhouse kick in his direction.
Long Aotian only waved, and Thunderbolt Battle Lady was instantly under the control of a powerful force. He frowned and said, "You woman, to think I thought you were kind-hearted. I developed feelings for you, but guess I was blind. I grant you death."
Thunderbolt Battle Lady exploded and turned to ashes.
"Battle Lady!" Li Xianyu shouted.
"She has been trapped in the virtual world forever, just like other colleagues."
King Kong's face was decadent. "It will be our turn soon."
Lady Killer sighed deeply, "Sorry, I implicated you guys."
King Kong shook his head. "This is the end of the story. Let's leave it to our fate. I hope the company can save us as soon as possible."
Lady Killer grinned bitterly. "It's hard. This is a creation of more than a dozen spiritual awakeners. Even the big boss is helpless."
Long Aotian said lightly, "It's just the earth realm. You're just like ants to me."
He pointed his finger at Lady Killer. He turned to ashes as well, as he followed in the footsteps of Thunderbolt Battle Lady.
King Kong, with one final fit of despair, exclaimed, "Long Aotian, f.u.c.k y-"
Without finis.h.i.+ng his words, he turned to ashes as well.
Long Aotian then pointed at Sanwu in a similar way, but she remained intact.
"Oh? This doesn't work? I have my own way of dealing with you." As he continued to speak, he looked at Li Xianyu. "It's your turn. I treated you like a brother, yet you wanted to kill me. Betrayers will be condemned to h.e.l.l eternally, suffering endless pain and torture."
He stretched out his finger and pointed it at Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu's heart sank. After all, he had underestimated the power of the formation. Here, Long Aotian was the G.o.d. He was unmovable and invincible.
It was also true that if only a few of them could easily solve this problem, there would not be so many colleagues trapped here. Also, Baoze Group would not be so clueless as well.
Five people in the Bronze league wanted to get rid of the one in the Challenger league.
What to do?
If he didn't save himself, he would be trapped forever in the virtual world, and become an NPC for all eternity. Coupled with Long Aotian's hatred toward him, his fate would be unimaginably tragic, far worse than Ye Liangjing.
He would be tortured day after day, if the company failed to find a solution.
"Ready for death?" Long Aotian said in an indifferent tone.
"Wait a minute. I have something to say before I die!" Li Xianyu shouted.
He intended to struggle for the last time, putting all his chips on the line.
