Chapter 850

“Damn it! I am not choosing either of them!

Chen Xiaolian swiftly rushed backwards, putting some distance between them before lowering his head to look at the bloody hole on his chest.

The wound was gradually regenerating and closing up while the automatic repair function of the Moonless Fivefold Light Armour had also activated. Numerous bits of metal began gathering upon the damaged area and began patching it up.

It was not as though Chen Xiaolian had not considered the possibility of the negotiation falling through.

Taking the initiative to recklessly send himself into Shen’s hand without any preparation? Chen Xiaolian would not do something so stupid.

Although his strength had yet to reach the same level as Shen, Chen Xiaolian was confident that this was not a completely hopeless battle.

“I’d almost forgotten. Since you have already obtained the angel wings and made contact with the Oddity, the current you would already have mastered a portion of this world’s laws. You can already, to a certain extent, heal your wounds.”

Shen looked at Chen Xiaolian. He did not immediately give chase. “However... you do not possess a body like Tian Lie’s, after all. You’re incapable of blocking off your sense of pain. This means...”

Suddenly, he appeared in front of Chen Xiaolian again and a fist smashed heavily against Chen Xiaolian’s chin, sending him high up into the air before crashing down to the ground.

“The more you stubbornly resist, the more pain you’ll have to endure.”

“What if... I can kill you?”

Chen Xiaolian staggered as he got up. Wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth, he threw a smile at Shen.

“Confidence is a virtue. Arrogance is not.” Shen frowned. “You should be very clear about the gap between us.”

“Then... let’s put it to the test!”

Chen Xiaolian held the bow with his left hand while his right hand gripped the bowstring. Next, he pulled and the bow became like a full moon.

“Shen, I know you are very strong. So strong that not even Du Wei and those old monsters from the same generation as you could match up to you. However... that does not necessarily mean you’re invincible!”Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

A invisible arrow, formed with energy, began forming between the bow and the bowstring.

But Chen Xiaolian was not aiming the bow at Shen.

Rather, it was aimed at the sky above.

“Matchless Skyfall? Have you gone crazy?”

Shen tilted his head slightly, looking at Chen Xiaolian with a hint of ridicule. “Although Du Wei taught you the moves for it when he gave you the bow, he did not mean for you to use it like this. To begin with, your strength is already not on the same level as mine. Whether or not you can smoothly perform the Matchless Skyfall move aside, even if you can force yourself to do it, do you think that... there is a chance of those scattered power harming even a piece of my hair?”

“Only by trying, can there be a chance of success!”

Chen Xiaolian gave a hard roar. Even though both the bow and arrow were pointed towards the sky above his head, his eyes were fixed intently upon Shen. His fingers twisted the bowstring, which was turned tens of times, creating a taut sound.

“For situations like these, you should be using Star Drop. Still... the result will be the same.” Shen shook his head. There was an indifferent smile on his face. “Forget it. I’ll let you complete this move. It’s been a long time since I last saw it.”

Surprisingly, Shen actually did not attack. Instead, he simply stood there, watching as Chen Xiaolian’s aura accumulated bit by bit.

As Chen Xiaolian continued to accumulate his power, the energy waves emanating from his body grew increasingly terrifying. The energy arrow that was on the bow kept condensing. Initially, it had been invisible and only a silhouette of it could be seen. Gradually, though, it grew clearer until finally, it seemed as though there was really an arrow there.

The moment the arrow appeared, Chen Xiaolian bellowed and released the bowstring.

At the same time, a beam of light also suddenly appeared from his right palm. Like a drop of water falling into sand, it flashed before immediately melding into the bowstring, disappearing without a trace.

A bluish-green beam of light charged towards the sky, seemingly desirous of piercing through the firmament.

Upon reaching the highest point, the bluish-green beam of light suddenly – like erupting fireworks – exploded into countless bluish-green flames, which descended upon the ground.

“Something like this may not even be able to kill off an ordinary [S] class. To use something like this against me...” Shen shook his head helplessly. There was a disdainful smile on his face.

Instantly, however, the smile on his face froze.

“I WANT TO-”

Chen Xiaolian shouted.

“RUN!”

After bellowing those words, he immediately turned around. A pair of wings spread out from his back and he flew into the distance.

“See you later! Sayonara!”

Some time was needed for the virus to take effect. If he could buy some time...

Bang!

A fist smashed against Chen Xiaolian’s chest, shattering the chest part of the Moonless Fivefold Light Armour to pieces.

“Did you think you can escape?

“Did you think that the Matchless Skyfall move earlier could harm me?”

Shen was standing straight and he looked coldly at Chen Xiaolian as he was blasted away before smashing into the ground. “After displaying that Matchless Skyfall move, how much more power do you have left in you?

“One tenth?

“One twentieth?”

With clenched teeth, Chen Xiaolian got up. He had only just gotten up when another formidable force impacted his chest again.

This time, he was stomped heavily against the ground. Shen’s stamp reduced the thick stone slabs covering the ground into powdery bits and half of Chen Xiaolian’s figure was pushed into the ground.

“You’re an interesting fellow. I really do not want to kill you.” Shen lowered his head to look at Chen Xiaolian, who was caught beneath his foot. Sighing, he continued, “Bring me to Zero City, return the Oddity to me and I will spare you.”

“Spare your bitch ass!” Chen Xiaolian grabbed Shen’s leg with both hands. He could hear cracking sounds from his sternum. It had caved in due to the pressure from Shen’s foot. “Once you finish patching up the world template, won’t I die anyways?”

“But that way, at least, you will disappear in an instant. There’ll be no pain.” Shen shook his head and increased the force in his foot by three notches. “At any rate, there is no personal grudge between us.”

“You can... go eat shit!”

Chen Xiaolian gritted, mustering every drop of strength he could with both hands in an attempt to lift Shen’s foot.

“Then, all I can say is... how regrettable.”

Shen shook his head softly. Next, he stretched out a finger, which he placed directly before Chen Xiaolian’s glabella. “Since you’re the one who built the new Zero City, you must possess the founder’s authority.”

“Hand it over!”

The Moonless Fivefold Light Armour, sensing danger, automatically raised a visor to cover Chen Xiaolian’s whole face. But to Shen, it was no different from a piece of paper.

Chen Xiaolian was still trying his best to lift up Shen’s foot. However, Shen’s power was astonishingly great. No matter how hard he tried, he could not push it away. On the contrary, his body was constantly being pushed down by the foot.

Additionally, Shen had also locked up the surrounding space, making it impossible to utilize his spatial teleportation ability.

Shen’s finger would be penetrating his glabella the very next moment.

Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth. At this life-threatening moment, everything around him seemingly became slow to the point of being frozen. Every single thing in the world disappeared, leaving only the finger, which was slowly moving forward.

Then...

Just as the finger was about to make contact with the glabella, it suddenly stopped.

Shen suddenly let out a pained roar before taking two staggering steps back.

A cry of joy broke out from Chen Xiaolian’s heart.

He quickly flipped himself up. Looking at Shen, he saw that Shen was holding his head. His body was bent and his whole figure trembled due to the pain. A faint voice emerged from his mouth, “You... what did you do?!”

The virus... it was finally showing its effect!
