Compared to the near-fatal elbow strike, Gardner's ferocious voice shook the Horned Demon's mind even more.
But at the same time, he heard the horse monkey's muffled groan, which then elongated into a painful scream. The scream was filled with danger, and it suddenly pulled the Horned Demon out of his trance.
He didn't have the time to think about something more complicated. He chased after the sound of the horse monkey's scream, opened his mouth wide, and screamed.
His face, body, and even the surrounding water waves were violently distorted. The resulting impact and the psychic piercing damage hidden deep within fused into one, and it was effectively concentrated as it blasted straight at Gardner.
At the same time, an illusion was also released. It wasn't exquisite, but it was just right, turning the surrounding turbulent waters into a distorted, broken, and blurry mirror image in the blink of an eye.
And before all of this happened, the Horned Demon had already silently twisted off the index and middle fingers of his right hand that Gardner had firmly clamped down on. His flesh and bones were completely severed, and he also used the chaos created by the water and sound waves to fly backward.
Due to the pain from the elbow strike, the centaur instinctively bent over, and his entire body arched like a prawn. Although Gardner was blocked by his escape method and his body stagnated, he still quickly extended his arm and swung it. His fingertips brushed past the centaur's forehead, cutting through the skin and flesh, scraping the skull, and almost lifting up the top of his skull.
The Horned Demon gritted his teeth, enduring the pain and dizziness, and his retreating figure suddenly deviated. It was only at this moment that Jingxin and Fatty Dragon, who were on the shore and underwater, truly reacted. The latter's reaction was even more direct.
In this turbulent waters, all the fish, waterfowl, and other flesh and blood lifeforms exploded in an instant, forming bloody fragments that were like grenade fragments that covered a vast space with a radius of thirty meters in the blink of an eye. And the flesh and blood bombs that contained curses and wizard powers simultaneously detonated the turbulent storm in the abyss, absorbing tremendous destructive power and sweeping through everything indiscriminately.
In fact, the Horned Demon, Jingxin, and the horse monkey had all received the blessings from the Propping Mulberry Tree's branches, leaves, and roots at that moment, shielding them from the blood curse's damage to the greatest extent. On the other hand, Gardner and Cui Chenghe, who had also attacked the horse monkey, had to turn back and dive deeper into the water to temporarily avoid the brunt. Even so, they were unable to completely dodge it and suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Due to Fat Dragon's control of the situation, this sudden and absurd encounter finally had a rare opening.
The centaur had a chance to catch his breath. Instead of retreating to the deep waters, he took the opportunity to turn to the shore, just in time to brush past the deadly Gardner and meet up with Jingxin, who had rushed over to provide support.
He was saved for the time being. But at this moment, the root network of the Propping Mulberry Tree was extremely blank.
On the shore not far from the centaur, Ma Hou's body was half in the water and half on the shore. He seemed to want to climb ashore, but his movements were stiff. His throat issued a "ho ho" sound, he stretched his hand forward, but his body leaned back.
By the time Jingxin rushed over from the Horned Demon's side and reached out to grab it, Horse Monkey had already collapsed backward. It plunged heavily into the green water and began its final convulsions. His throat had been cut in half, and the wound on his chest had penetrated all the way to his internal organs, but not a single drop of blood had gushed out.
"The Order of Justice's Life Changing Blade."
Jingxin's face was gloomy. His words were like an obituary. For a B-rank ability user, knife wounds to the throat and heart might not necessarily be fatal, especially with the augmentation of the Propping Mulberry Tree.
However, with the Scales of Truth as its cornerstone, the Law of Judgment, which robbed vitality and vitality, erased all flukes and took away the life of the horse monkey. When the two systems of orders collided, the Scales of Truth had the upper hand at the end of the miniscule clash.
The centaur opened his eyes wide. Blood flowed down his forehead, seeping into his eye sockets. He could endure such discomfort, but he could not accept this absurd situation at all.
"What the hell is this!?"
The howls of the centaur had been selected by Luo Nan, and they were faithfully restored in Yin Le's perception. Of course, this also included the series of strange and unforeseen events that puzzled the centaur.
Therefore, Yin Le was much stronger than the centaur. At the very least, she could clearly understand the basic sequence of events. However, there was one crucial link. She clearly knew that it was like that, but she could not understand why it was like that. For this reason, she could not help but cast a seeking gaze at Luo Nan.
"Mister..."
Her voice was suddenly cut off. This was because Yin Le saw Luo Nan, who was completely focused. He was staring intently at the virtual work area. His eyes did not even blink. Aside from the psychic storm diagram, there was also a configuration blueprint drawn with the terrain of the Wasteland three thousand kilometers away within the dim light of the projection area.
The traces of alterations on the psychic diagram revealed a different color. And on the configuration blueprint, there was a region that flickered with light.
Looking at the topographic map, it was the area of the saltwater lake where the conflict had erupted.
Luo Nan seemed to have heard Yin Le's low cry at this time. His lower jaw, resting on the back of his palm, rose and fell slightly. His lips were like the cry of an ant as he muttered, "It's all working, but it's still not enough..."
"It's not over yet?"
Yin Le's consciousness switched to the scene of the Wasteland.
By the side of the saltwater lake, ripples caused by the battle were spreading towards the center of the lake. There was still a distance from the boiling white waves. There was a muffled rumble in the relatively calm waters, and a water pillar nearly ten meters tall exploded. At the same time, a human figure appeared from the explosion.
Cui Chenghe!
This ruthless swordsman, who had just killed Horse Monkey, was thrown out of the water by the shockwave from the underwater explosion.
"Crap! Fatty Dragon!"
Cui Chenghe immediately came to a realization. He could not help but feel regret.
Since Jingxin was on the shore after killing Horse Monkey, Cui Chenghe chose to retreat from the lake in order to save time for his breakthrough. This was also because Fatty Dragon's control spell covered the area indiscriminately. Luo Nan mistakenly believed that his most powerful enemy was already close to the shore. He never expected that this simple-minded blockhead would be waiting for him near the center of the lake.
Fatty Dragon's communication network had a problem, but there was no problem at all with his own strength!
Cui Chenghe took a deep breath, and his slender figure descended. The soles of his feet touched the surface of the water, but he did not sink. He was like an enormous dragonfly, stepping on the surface of the lake as if he was treading on flat ground. He was lithe and quick. This was the best technique for escaping and preserving one's life.
The problem was that the water column that exploded beside Cui Chenghe, in addition to the shocking impact, every living being in it had a round of flesh and blood explosion. Under the enhancement of the spell, they formed tangible and intangible sharp thorns that shot towards him in a concentrated manner.
After all, Cui Chenghe was not a real dragonfly, nor did he have the ability to fly like a bird. It was impossible for him to completely dodge them.
At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He silently called out to Priestess to help me. Relying on the subtle yet tenacious connection between him and Li Taisheng, which was also built on the Scales of Truth system, he silently chanted an incantation and instantly transformed the vitality and vitality that he had just seized from the horse monkey into a life-saving defensive barrier. He also specially strengthened the special trait of Curse Interference.
This was already the most reliable plan that Cui Chenghe could come up with in a short period of time.
However, just as the parish's powers were augmented and the Scales of Truth's sacred space took form, he heard a rustling sound that resembled a tree trunk's leaves swaying.
At that instant, the area where Cui Chenghe was located seemed to have moved from the surface of a surging lake to the depths of a lush forest. Through the gaps between the leaves, there was bright sunlight shining down.
It was as hot as fire and as sharp as a sword.
The incantation's interference barrier that Cui Chenghe had constructed melted like snow under this round of sunlight. As for his relatively stable will, it instantly wavered.
