Chapter 225: Chapter 221: Seizing the Lantern, the Mighty Power of the Fairy Clan, It’s So So So Powerful!
The sonic waves materialized, like countless strands slicing through the air, transforming into supersonic flying blades.
Upon realizing that a Soul attack was ineffective against this "food," the Lantern Carrier immediately summoned a powerful "Beast" embodying certain rules, intending to kill the opponent and quell her wrath.
BOOM!
Pale Fire and crimson-gold fire entangled, forming two wild dragons—one white and one red—in mid-air. They fearlessly surged through countless sonic flying blades, only to be easily erased by the vast Power of Rules of a second-stage "Beast," vanishing into oblivion!
Yet, ancient time flowed by, and the moment Chu Yi assassinated the Lantern Girl seemed to be erased by a great being.
The ability of the Blood Spear, though it inflicted a constant bleeding debuff, had as one of its sources the King of Deep Red, who symbolized the past!
Reappearing, Chu Yi was now behind the Lantern Girl. Two dragons coiled and intertwined, congealing into a blazing white pillar of light, akin to a Spear of Judgment, pinning the unsuspecting Lantern Girl to the ground.
In the next moment, Chu Yi propelled his six-winged Crown Flame. The Divine Hand, glowing with radiant white light, grasped the Lantern Girl’s soft and tender white arm. Before he could even experience the tender sensation, the Divine Hand tore off flesh and blood, seizing the Skull Lantern along with a piece of the tender white arm.
ROAR—
The grotesque woman reacted swiftly, opening a mouth full of fangs, with rings of sharp teeth encircling it, and rapidly bit towards Chu Yi.
But Chu Yi, who had already perceived a part of cause and effect, retrieved the Blood Spear, stacked up a White Bone Armor, and stuffed them both into the grotesque woman’s mouth. With a shake of his Crown Flame Wings, he burst out with crimson tail flames, escaping as a blood-red rainbow.
CRACK!
The grotesque woman bit down on a mass of bone fragments and angrily spat a wave of sonic flying blades towards Chu Yi, but he dodged them.
As she spiraled into madness, a writhing gray shadow surged from the severed arm of the Lantern Girl, who was pinned to the ground. With a single slap, it shattered the incompetent "Beast" into pieces.
"Ant... ant..."
The clear and melodious voice suddenly turned hoarse and deep, mixed with the voices of the elderly, women, children, infants, and fierce beasts, all jumbled together—the wail of thousands of Fierce Ghosts.
She let out an angry roar.
Her beautiful face, like a paper mask of beauty, was torn away. Her slender, delicate body suddenly swelled, transforming in an instant into a giant Demon Ghost over a hundred feet tall.
Wild boar-like tusks protruded from her mouth. Her muscles were gnarled, and she now had eight thick arms. Her entire body ignited with gray flames, a chilling aura rapidly spreading, with frost expanding outward from her as the center.
The white fog rolled back, becoming thicker, like slowly falling snowflakes.
AWOO—
A vertical pupil the size of a carriage stared at the escaping flame and, with large strides, chased after it.
The White Tower fell into silence.
Most eyes focused on a single scene: the Fairy chess piece’s attendant had shown such bravery! How dare he attack the Lantern Carrier? And he had succeeded!
"This young man is too fierce! Not only did he injure the Lantern Carrier, but he also seized the opponent’s Sequence Sacred Artifact!"
"Just asking, are humans nowadays so fierce?"
"I’ve heard that this time in the Divine War, some Beast Tamers from the Human Federation participated. But weren’t they just supposed to broaden their horizons? How did they end up fighting the Lantern Carrier?"
"Are the humans from the Federation all becoming this competitive?"
"..."
The Alien Races in attendance had their perceptions utterly refreshed by this scene.
They had thought it would be impressive enough if this attendant battled the Lantern Carrier for a few rounds. But the fact that he had backstabbed the opponent, stolen the Sequence Sacred Artifact, and swaggered off, leaving the Lantern Carrier in disbelief, was beyond their wildest expectations.
It was like this: a naive Little Fox in the forest was being toyed with by a tiger. Suddenly, it rushed forward, gave the king of the mountain a heavy slap, plucked out some tiger fur, and successfully escaped!
This was too absurd!
Han Bufan and Luo Zhen were once again stunned, overwhelmed by an unimaginable shock. Is this the prodigy recognized by Qin Zheng?!
"I admit I underestimated this kid, Chu Yi," Han Bufan said, his throat tightening, the fire ring behind his head dimming somewhat. "He’s reckless but courageous and resourceful, managing a clean getaway. Even I, relying solely on one Pet Beast, might not necessarily be able to handle the Lantern Carrier. It’s a manifestation of the Sleepless Sequence’s rules, with the potential to grow into a True Spirit of the Sequence in the future."
Luo Zhen took over the topic, hugging his little squirrel, his eyes shining. "He’s a prodigy, beyond the grasp of common sense, possessing some of the flair of the Imperial Capital Academy’s own prodigies! Perhaps this is why he is recognized by the King’s Cub."
Then, in the void, a blood-red river emerged.
"Over here!"
Like a mountain, the Demon Ghost pursued relentlessly. Chu Yi heard a soft voice and quickly looked over to see a green-haired loli riding Brue, waving at him.
Chu Yi hesitated for a second, then flapped his six Crown Flame Wings. He bypassed the attacks of "Beasts" in the white mist and reached the green-haired loli’s location.
The next moment, surrounding vines and trees sprouted, lush with leaves, shielding the activity within this area. The pursuing Demon Ghost lost its target and ran off in another direction.
In an open area, Fairy script was arranged in a circle on the ground, guarding the four directions like Runes.
"HMPH. See Yao Er’s power now?" the green-haired loli smiled, her jade-like nose and cherry lips curving, her beautiful eyes squinting into crescents.
Then, these characters floated up, turning into delicate butterflies that danced and fluttered, merging into Chu Yi’s body and making him feel light.
Meanwhile, his consumed Spiritual Power and Spirituality began recovering at an alarming speed.
This recovery strength rivals Soul Refinement! Is this the power of the Fairy race?
Chu Yi was surprised. Any pawn recognized by a deity must have extraordinary qualities. Though this silly loli seems quite useless... At least, she’s not like Xing Mei, that behind-the-scenes BOSS.
"Liar, if you sincerely apologize to Yao Er and swear not to lie again, Yao Er will help solve your troubles," the green-haired loli blinked and puffed out her flat chest, proclaiming confidently.
She wanted to display her prowess as a Witch in front of this Chu Yi and blind him with her brilliance.
AWOO!
Brue, already recovered, echoed his master’s cry.
Chu Yi glanced at her, instinctively intending to use [Stealing Heaven and Replacing Sun] to pilfer from the past. But after looking at the Divine Power reserves on the alert line, he decided it was better to go to the kitchen to refine the Divine Flower and make a feast to replenish his Divinity.
Exchanging Divine Power for Fairy Power... I’m not proficient enough to use it effectively. Better not. Hmm, seems like I need to put on a little act.
"Wha-what?" Chu Yi’s pupils contracted; he couldn’t help but gasp, seemingly shocked by this silly loli’s power.
I didn’t expect this mindless loli to actually possess such rapid recovery abilities! The Fairy race is truly, truly incredible...
"I’m sorry," Chu Yi said in the Fairy language, putting on a shocked expression to let this silly loli experience the joy of showing off. "I, Shen Tianqi, was rude and arrogant, a brainless fool. I offended the brilliant, wise, dignified, and elegant Miss Yao Er. I beg you, please be the bigger person and forgive me this time."
Besides, what does Shen Tianqi have to do with me, Chu Yi?
