Osiris's death changed the tide of the battle.
Neptune had to withstand the attacks of Ayres and Venus at the same time, while Ji Dongchen took a step back and came to Ji Zhanxue's side. His expression was uncertain, and his hands, which were wearing black gloves, were slightly trembling.
Li Xiang had managed to escape from the combined attack of the three of them and even managed to kill Osiris. This fear slowly took root in his heart.
Bang!
The trident in Neptune's hand rotated at a high speed, drawing a high arc and fiercely stabbing at Venus who was casting the spell. He had little contact with the other members when he was playing tarot cards, but in fact, he knew them very well.
The spells that Venus had learned were all extremely powerful and terrifying. Therefore, they required a very long chanting time. During this time, Ayres had to focus on protecting her.
As long as he kept attacking Venus, Ayres would not be able to attack and could only defend.
As expected, when the trident came, Ayres stopped in his tracks and instinctively used his hands to protect Venus on his shoulder.
The sharp blade pierced his palm, and then the tip of the blade slowly condensed an energy ball in his body and exploded instantly.
Such an attack could not really break through Ayres' defense, but Neptune took advantage of this opportunity and successfully retreated to Ji Dongchen's side.
"Osiris has been killed. I'm afraid we are no match for them." Ji Dongchen's voice had a trace of fear. Ji Zhanxue's reward was very generous, but he had to be alive to spend it.
Neptune nodded slightly in agreement.
A Level-6 Magician had been killed. In a one-on-one fight, he, a Level-4 Assassin, was no match for Li Xiang.
The last time he failed to kill Li Xiang, Neptune felt that he had missed the best opportunity.
Perhaps at that time, he would not have cared about level. If he had joined forces with the World Token, he would have been able to kill Li Xiang.
There was no medicine for regret.
The holder of the World Token, Flodi, had also been killed by Ming Xu.
"Once the two of you leave, I'll be dead for sure." Ji Zhanxue gritted his teeth and suddenly turned to Ji Dongchen. He whispered, "Uncle, if you are willing to help me block Li Xiang, I can give you the remaining half! It will be enough for you to reach Level-9 a second time! "
Ji Dongchen's originally somewhat dim eyes suddenly lit up again.
He knew very well how much resources he needed to reach Level-9 for the second time. He had saved up for so many years, and even with the reward from Ji Zhanxue, it was only enough for one attempt. He was old and frail, and did not have many years left to live. Only by reaching Level-9 would he have a chance of rejuvenation.
He did not expect that the remaining half of Ji Zhanxue's resources would be enough for him to reach Level 9 for the second time!
Ji Dongchen looked deeply at this famous junior. This brat was indeed astute. He actually dared to hide it from them at the critical moment of life and death.
If not for Osiris's death, he probably would not have exposed his savings.
"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll risk my life to accompany you! After it's done, I will personally come to check it. "Ji Dongchen took a deep breath and said to Neptune," Help me delay for a while. "
"Alright!" Neptune knew that he was in the same boat now. Li Xiang would never let go of anyone who wanted to kill him.
Rumble!
The purple trident suddenly pierced out, and an earth-shattering wave of air rushed towards Li Xiang and the others.
"Is this the 'tower' of tarot cards?" Li Xiang looked at the trident. All the tarot cards, except for the first one, The Fool, and the second one, The Magician, either gave the holder a disaster ability or a disaster weapon.
Neptune's trident allowed him to stand out among the Level-4 players. Even if he faced Li Xiang who was far more powerful than a Level-5 player, he would still be able to fight.
He did not know what effect Ayres and Venus's' Lovers' card had. He had not seen them use the 'Lovers' card yet.
The trident under the purple flames came in front of Li Xiang. He used the 'Paradise of Annihilation', and the terrifying power forced the two of them back.
The purple flames spread out layer by layer, and the air seemed to be evaporated.
The space twisted in the flames, and the surrounding buildings exploded one by one. Neptune's figure also disappeared after the first trident.
He was an assassin who was good at hiding his tracks and sneak attacks.
Ayres and Venus were forced to retreat outside of the battle circle. Venus's forbidden spell had sealed the surrounding passages, so they had no way to escape. This was not an ordinary enchantment. Only by killing Venus, or if she removed it herself, could it dissipate.
Otherwise, it would continue to exist.
Clang!
The red flame was wrapped in a purple color. Neptune suddenly appeared on the side of Li Xiang. When he appeared, the trident was about to reach his throat.
This was a fatal blow, and it was also a blow that had completely integrated the essence of his assassination.
Li Xiang was still expressionless, as if he had already seen through all of Neptune's movements. The 'Paradise of Annihilation' in his hand switched to its initial state, and a blue beam of light gathered. He almost attacked at the same time as Neptune.
Rumble!
After the light faded, Neptune unwillingly fell to the ground. He covered his left shoulder, which had lost his left arm. His whole body fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
"Is this your full strength?" Li Xiang's expression was a little disappointed.
At that time, outside Calamity City, Neptune's sneak attack forced him to use Shadow Flash, which he was not yet proficient in. It made him feel a little gloomy.
Before that, Li Xiang had never encountered such a helpless situation. The huge gap in strength made him have to run away with his tail between his legs.
But now, the enemy that could threaten his life in the past was defeated so easily.
"Phew." Neptune did not answer. He let out a long breath, and his right arm clenched the trident. The next second, another blue beam of light that he could not see clearly was shot.
Crack!
This time, the right arm holding the trident was broken.
Clang! Clang!
The purple trident fell to the ground, and for the first time, he felt despair.
The boy in front of him could not be defeated.
Neptune slowly knelt on the ground, and suddenly felt relieved.
For so many years, he was a lone wolf, a lone traveler. He kept killing to become stronger, and the battle was cold-blooded and ruthless.
In the end, he was just a stepping stone for the supreme.
The life of a weakling was meaningless.
"Your hands have killed a lot of people. I don't want to judge you. I just want to tell you that you have to pay for what you have gained. Spend the rest of your life in regret." Li Xiang raised the Heaven of Annihilation. This time, after the blue light hit, Neptune's player aura began to fade.
Venus, who was standing at the side, watched curiously. She really wanted to know how this disaster weapon worked. As a tireless magician, she had a strong thirst for knowledge. She was curious about everything new.
This was the second time she saw Li Xiang use the purification ability.
After the clean light flowed, Neptune's player presence was completely removed.
Only an empty shell was left.
He became an ordinary person.
This power was enough to turn the world upside down.
No wonder Li Xiang did not want to negotiate with the Aristocratic Alliance.
His existence was like a guillotine hanging over the heads of all the players. No one was willing to have someone standing on top of their heads and threatening their existence.
It did not matter if he wanted to kill them or not.
This was why they were afraid of the Young Master and wanted to kill him.
Venus looked at the fog coming out of the stronghold.
Li Xiang landed and looked past the dazed Neptune. He looked at the fog. "It's about time. I gave you enough time. It's time to reveal your last card."
"Humph! Arrogant! Overconfident! "
Ji Dongchen's voice came from the fog.
Then a big hand suddenly came out of the smoke. It was very powerful, but the movement was very gentle.
As the dust settled, a tall man walked out. His white hair had all turned black, and his body was much more muscular. His eyebrows were arched, and his eyes were like lightning. His appearance was majestic, and his two arms were very thick. They were not inferior to Ayres's in any way.
Ji Dongchen's eyes were closed. There were no pupils or eyeballs. There was only a constantly tumbling chaos. Sometimes it was gray, sometimes it was dark. There was no pattern to it.
His presence was still growing. He was gradually returning to his peak state.
This was his true peak.
Unfortunately, he had used a secret technique to awaken the last card in his body. Once he used it, it would accelerate his aging.
If it was at the normal speed, Ji Dongchen could last for about three years. After using the secret technique, he would die completely in a month.
And once the secret technique was used, all the magic particles in his body would be mobilized. In the future, he would continue to weaken and slowly die. After today's battle, he had to force himself to reach Level-9 at night.
Forcing himself into a situation of certain death, Ji Dongchen looked at Li Xiang with murderous intent in his cloudy eyes without any scruples.
That was the pressure from the gaze of a true Level-8, causing Venus, who was idling at the side, to have goosebumps.
The gap between Level-8 and Level-7 and Level-6 was even bigger.
After reaching Level-6, it was a whole new level.
Li Xiang could challenge Level-3 players at Level-1 and Level-5 players at Level-3. But at Level-5, it was very difficult for him to fight a real Level-7 player. This was the gap between levels. Even someone as strong as him was so difficult, let alone ordinary players like them.
Li Xiang also looked at Ji Dongchen. He had forced Ji Dongchen to use a killing move in order to seek a breakthrough to Level-6 in the midst of life and death.
His cultivation speed was too fast, but it wasn't fast enough for the current situation.
It was because he wasn't strong enough that he had almost died under Fei Yujing's attack. That was why Ming Xu had become like this.
He longed for more power.
And the best way to break through was to force himself into a dead end.
So he would recklessly go to the Bai Family. He didn't fear any enemy when he came to the Ji Family.
After Ming Xu's accident, Li Xiang's heart was half dead.
If Ming Xu couldn't be resurrected and couldn't be changed back to her original self, he had no desire to live.
Without you, what's the use of becoming stronger?
Ji Dongchen clenched his fists. He was very satisfied with his current state and strength. This was the feeling of peak that he hadn't tasted for a long time.
At this moment, Li Xiang was like an ant in his eyes.
"You actually dare to fight here. I really don't know if you are smart or stupid." Ji Dongchen sneered. Even if the three of them ran away at this moment, he would still chase after them. However, it was hard to say whether he could kill all three of them.
But if he didn't run, he would still stay here.
The probability of all three of them dying would greatly increase.
But why was there still no trace of fear in that kid's eyes?
Could it be that Level 8 players weren't a threat in his eyes?
Impossible!
He had a deep understanding of the gap between Level 5 and Level 8. No matter how talented and powerful one was, it was absolutely impossible to cross this gap!
"How many moves can you make with all your strength in this state? One move or two moves? I guess it's one move. Otherwise, you wouldn't have locked your aura on me and ignored Venus and the others. "Li Xiang said leisurely.
Ji Dongchen's veins were bulging. He sneered, "So what if it's one move? It's enough to kill you."
"Okay, then let me see how strong a Level 8 player's full-strength attack is."
Li Xiang raised the Heaven of Annihilation. Without dodging, he switched to Violent State. He could only use the final battle skill in Violent State one last time.
A black tornado condensed in the sky. It was the first time Ji Zhanxue had seen such a violent power. The magic particles in the air seemed to be absorbed by Ji Dongchen in an instant.
Even Venus's indestructible and impenetrable barrier was starting to crack.
She was shocked, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
In her previous life, she had never met a Level 8 opponent, so her barrier had never been broken by brute force.
It seemed that Ji Dongchen, who was only Level 8, could break through her barrier.
And Ji Dongchen wasn't really a powerful Level 8. Level 8 players like the First Lady were the best at that level.
And her opponent, that woman, was above Level 9.
A real sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.
"Take him away from here to my airship," Li Xiang suddenly said, looking at Neptune, who was still in a daze.
He wasn't a good person, but he wasn't an evil person like Osiris. He was just living for himself. In his previous life, Neptune and Li Xiang had a good relationship, and he had seen a different side of Neptune.
This was why he didn't kill him.
Everyone should have a chance to be reborn.
Venus woke up from the shock and immediately asked Ayres to take Neptune and remove the enchantment. They flew towards the direction of the airship.
Ji Dongchen's body was surrounded by black smoke. The condensed fist was slowly accumulating power, and it would be thrown out soon.
After the punch, one of them had to die.
Li Xiang was also accumulating all the power in his body. He was comprehending, letting his dark golden aura slowly seep into the Paradise of Annihilation.
The Paradise of Annihilation was the embodiment of the power of the Origin of Darkness. Many of its powers could be reflected in its battle techniques. But this wasn't enough. He wanted to merge the gun with himself and make it his own.
So he wanted to try to merge his aura into the Paradise of Annihilation.
This was the only way to block Ji Dongchen's killing punch.
Boom!
The sky suddenly changed color.
The black fist roared like a dragon. The moment it took off, the entire branch family seemed to disappear from the world.
The extreme sense of suppression made Ji Zhanxue crawl on the ground, looking at the two in the air as if he was looking at gods.
Li Xiang also moved. He pulled the trigger.
A streak of crimson light flashed.
The world was silent. Even the sound was deprived.
