Chapter 722 - 633: I Will Crown You (8)
Lu Shuhang charged out first, lunging toward the black box. Bai Youyou rushed in simultaneously, colliding with Lu Shuhang. In that instant, she flicked her wrist, swung the Heavy Hammer, and smashed the black box toward Xu Xiaoyou’s direction.
Xu Xiaoyou reached out, and the protruding black column pinned the black box mid-air, exploding all the way toward her.
Shadows emerged from Lu Shuhang’s body, and his form blurred. He then grabbed Bai Youyou’s neck and threw her forcefully into the distance.
The constantly attacking black column nudged the black box’s position, projecting out from the air and moving it toward Lu Shuhang’s direction.
Xu Xiaoyou extended her hands, and the shadow of the Rose Flower gun gathered in her embrace. The bullets shot forth, shattering the black column, and carried the black box toward her.
Lu Shuhang leaned forward, turning into a shadow and darting swiftly. The stirred shadow collided with Xu Xiaoyou, and the two were quickly thrown backward a hundred meters, crashing through several high-rise buildings.
Realizing Lu Shuhang was about to crash her off the battlefield, Xu Xiaoyou’s eyes flickered. The slot card [Reverse Time Shadow Merge] activated, a constant buzzing sound rang out, and her figure was suddenly stretched infinitely.
In a blink, she had escaped from Lu Shuhang and overlapped with her position from two seconds earlier.
Xu Xiaoyou looked back, seeing Bai Youyou heading toward the black box.
Taking a deep breath, a giant die’s phantom descended behind her, with golden currents whizzing through it. Numbers 1—1000 jumped higher and higher!
All sides of the die simultaneously stopped at the number ’852’.
"Destiny Point: 852."
"Blessing: Recreate the last used ’Artistic-Level’ Skill Card."
"Record or Manifest?"
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyou waved her hand, [Elite Evil Squad] shone out, and a well-trained, sternly disciplined army appeared before her, their shoulder emblems chasing the radiant sun prominently visible.
And the last artistic skill card she used was—[Military Crown]!
With no hesitation, Xu Xiaoyou chose to manifest, applying [Military Crown] on the [Elite Evil Squad], because [Elite Evil Squad] was considered a whole, the Military Crown could act on the entire army.
"Annihilation command has been issued."
The Lieutenant in front had red glow in his eyes, stood proudly, with a Spencer rifle rested on his shoulder, exuding tangible malice.
"Eradicate all targets within the range."
Behind him, a hundred soldiers moved in perfect unison.
"Yes, My Queen!"
A dense network of firepower instantly covered the sky.
Lu Shuhang shielded his front with both hands, the gunfire and rain of bullets followed quickly, the bullets bombarding his armor like a storm. Initially, only leaving slight scratches, but in just a brief moment, the bullets pierced through his Divine Gift, penetrating his body!
Blood splattered across Lu Shuhang’s vision, shocking him with these soldiers’ attack power.
Noticing Bai Youyou nearing the black box, Lu Shuhang shook his head and decisively swept to the side, avoiding the frontal fire grid.
Lu Shuhang lunged forward, piercing through the soldiers’ chest, flinging them away without losing speed, triggering Rampage Unrestrained, transforming into a violent black windmill, sweeping through the Elite Evil Squad and resolving over ten soldiers’ lives in a blink, forcing his way out.
Just as he brushed past Xu Xiaoyou, intending to ignore the girl and charge toward the black box, a violent explosion erupted from his back, with radiant flames intertwining to form a vivid red Rose.
Lu Shuhang turned his head, finding the Lieutenant from the Elite Evil Squad coldly staring at him, standing beside an old infantry gun, ordering soldiers to load shells.
He had seen this kind of infantry gun in early Silver Era historical records, and who knows from where the Dark Gold Rose found this thousand-year-old relic that could even hurt him.
Lu Shuhang darted sideways again, yet the shells seemed to track him, exploding precisely on his back.
The continuous bombardment forced Lu Shuhang to retreat step by step, and the vivid red Roses bloomed, the gun’s rifling started to glow red, and the barrel gradually overloaded.
The Lieutenant’s cold face suddenly broke into a smile, revealing deep human malice.
He kicked aside a soldier, ignoring the pressing dark tides from all directions, stomped on the infantry gun, and wildly waved his arms with a manic smile, manifesting hundreds of shells out of thin air, all loaded into the barrel.
"Bombard, bombard, bombard!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The infantry gun glowed like a fully overloaded machine, emitting scorching red light, steam gushing, firing hundreds of shells per second, the barrel trembling with afterimages, and flames exploding sequentially from left to right, smoke dominating the sky, entirely covering Lu Shuhang’s position.
Time passed by second by second.
"I want to use everything to blast the rebels to bits!"
Dark tides swallowed the Lieutenant’s lower half, while his upper half still waved his arms, his face extraordinarily distorted.
"Only guns and conquest can uphold the Queen’s glory!"
"For Her Majesty!"
The Lieutenant pulled a grenade and chose to self-destruct before the dark tides fully submerged his face.
Xu Xiaoyou maintained a calm expression.
At this moment, Bai Youyou was extremely close to the black box.
Light manifested on the battlefield, and the Lieutenant’s figure reappeared, with hands crossed behind his back, a cold and killing expression.
After the Lieutenant’s death, a new Lieutenant would refresh for [Elite Evil Squad] shortly, though the [Elite Evil Squad]’s scope of fire wasn’t as extensive as the Infinity Shark, but their small-area suppression was stronger.
In such a short time, Lu Shuhang couldn’t break through the Elite Evil Squad’s defense line.
She would win.
On the other side, Bai Youyou leapt into the air, nearly touching the black box with her fingertips, when golden lightning sped up from below across the clear battlefield, like a sword splitting the sky!
Was it Four-leaf Phoenix Tree?
Bai Youyou felt a bit of surprise inside.
She remembered, from the beginning, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s head was blasted by Xu Xiaoyou.
With such injuries, how could anyone survive?
Moreover, even before this, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree had suffered serious wounds...
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke burst in front of Bai Youyou, losing her sense of direction, her inner unease grew increasingly strong. She instinctively reached for the black box in front but grasped nothing.
She sensed that the lightning was getting closer to her, almost up to her face!
Bai Youyou decisively released "Shackles" restriction, tightly binding the person in front.
But before she could relax, the bindings were instantly broken, dust scattered immediately, shadows surged, and the figure in front gradually became clear.
Black armor covered with engravings, incomplete gloves and shoulder guards, an overturned flesh exterior... a bloody face looking sinister from the stains, its Divine Gift resembling an Evil Ghost just crawled out of Hell.
Was it Lu Shuhang?
Bai Youyou’s pupils trembled and lost focus; the thought just arose in her mind, and Lu Shuhang’s glove pierced her chest, making her uncontrollably fall.
Xu Xiaoyou furrowed her brows; the shelling stopped, smoke cleared away from the direction, and the young man had long disappeared.
For a moment, the arena went silent, absolute quiet hovering overhead, everyone held their breath, and nobody broke the dead silence of the moment.
"How is this possible!"
Underneath, there was a moment of silence, some gasped in surprise.
"Did Lu Shuhang use Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s Mimicry!?" The commentator shouted in shock.
"This guy, actually gave Mimicry to Lu Shuhang ahead of time?" a strategist muttered.
"No." Nanjia Mu frowned, "Life signs disappear, Mimicry would disappear with it."
"Hermes’ Divine Speed Boots, even if worn by Lu Shuhang, as long as he’s dead..."
"No... Look, that guy is not dead!" someone said, trembling.
Countless gazes gathered together.
In the arena, the blood from the bullet hole in Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s forehead stopped flowing, the severely injured body became dim, the raised hand slowly lowered, electricity dispersed, the light in the pupils dimmed too, covered by a layer of dead ash.
The black box steadily fell into Lu Shuhang’s hands.
"Really didn’t let us down..." Four-leaf Phoenix Tree smiled, his figure shattered like a mirror, "For the last time..."
At this moment, all spectators of this match, only one thought remained in their hearts.
——Gloriously sacrifice oneself.
