Chapter 147: Clown (Happy New Year)
He didn't seize the opportunity to remotely cast Thunder's Fury, unleashing a lightning storm to engulf the High Priest.
*Boom boom*
Jagged, tree-like bolts of lightning rained down like a torrential storm, clawing and rampant, interspersed with lightning pillars as thick as water tanks, filled with an aura of destruction.
The High Priest's body was constantly struck by lightning and enveloped by the pillars, his pristine robe burned away, his robust body charred and carbonized.
Zhang Yuanqing transformed into starlight, appearing above the High Priest's head, and brought down the Pumpkin Hammer, smashing it fiercely onto his skull.
"Bang!"
The High Priest, paralyzed, had his head split open, blood splattering as he fell powerlessly into the ocean.
Zhang Yuanqing quickly looked at the girl, hoping she would seize the opportunity to strike the drowning dog, but found her standing blankly, letting the chance to strike the enemy slip away.
Why is she standing there dumbfounded? Powerful but lacking wisdom? Zhang Yuanqing frowned inwardly.
*Splash!*
White waves surged on the sea surface as a sea beast resembling a giant whale burst out of the waves, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Cynthia, who had been lurking in the sea, waiting to swallow the priest for a long time, finally seized the opportunity to strike, successfully dragging the High Priest into the ocean.
The sea is the domain of the sea妖.
With the sea beast swallowing the High Priest, the sea surface returned to calm, with gentle ripples.
Zhang Yuanqing and the two goddesses overlooked the scene from high above, silently waiting for the result.
The girl with pure black eyes, looking at Saiktia, spoke her first words since birth, "My heart can only beat a thousand times..."
Only a thousand heartbeats? That's 10-15 minutes... Zhang Yuanqing wasn't surprised, it was even expected.
Sacrificing a Cupid to summon a peak Overlord-level creature was inherently unequal.
But if this super lifeform had a time limit, it would be reasonable. Powerful though it was, it was also dim-witted, with obvious intellectual deficiencies. In 15 minutes, no, 10 minutes, I have to cooperate with her to kill the High Priest, otherwise it means the dungeon攻略 fails...
If only Cynthia could continue to severely injure the High Priest in the sea...
Just as Zhang Yuanqing thought this, he saw the calm sea surface suddenly stirred up with狂涛, creating waves over ten meters high, one after another, white foam like 素龙雪狮.
A moment later, a stream of scarlet blood emerged from the deep blue sea, quickly spreading, dyeing the surrounding waters red.
A sea beast's corpse and fragments of limbs floated to the surface.
"Boom!"
A golden light burst out of the ocean. The High Priest had fought his way out from the seabed. The laurel wreath on his head was gone, his white hair was flying, and his naked body was muscular and full, emanating a faint golden glow. His aura had decreased significantly, and his spiritual power fluctuations were not as strong as before.
Zhang Yuanqing anxiously surveyed the sea surface, never seeing Cynthia emerge.
"She's dead!" the naked girl said.
"The sea told me." Hearing this news, Saiktia became sad. After Cupid and Erilga, she had lost another sister.
Zhang Yuanqing was furious, his blood rushing to his head, the death of his beloved causing his reason to collapse completely. His eyes turned red as he transformed into starlight, teleporting behind the High Priest and throwing a punch. *Bang bang bang bang, slap slap.*..
Amidst the exploding airwaves, Zhang Yuanqing, wearing the Thor Suit, only lasted ten seconds before being beaten until his flesh was tattered by the High Priest, and sent flying like a sack.
Saiktia flew to embrace her lover, rolling with him in the air to dissipate the force. She urgently said, "Amini, my dear Amini, are you alright?"
She looked down at her lover's shattered body, her eyes filled with tears. His bones were fractured, and his organs were severely burned and bleeding.
His flesh was severely carbonized. In her eyes, such exaggerated injuries would be fatal even to a god.
"Let's lie low a bit..." Zhang Yuanqing said, spitting blood.
"What?" Saiktia asked blankly, "For now, avoid the brunt!"
Zhang Yuanqing, with a strong desire to survive, responded.
The rage and resentment from earlier had dissipated completely, and reason once again occupied the high ground.
Saiktia carried her lover and jumped away.
The High Priest's eyes swept over the fleeing couple. He reached behind him, intending to draw an arrow for a long-range attack, but suddenly, he abruptly turned to the side.
A huge wind blade grazed him, cutting a dozen-丈 long "沟壑" in the sea.
*Woo woo*, wind blades howled, forming a rain of death. The girl seemed to still have the ability to cast wind blades.
The High Priest chanted in a low voice, and a faint golden light formed a spherical barrier around his body, constructing an inviolable domain.
Piercing, dense explosions immediately followed. The wind blades, like raindrops, struck the surface of the spherical barrier, creating dense ripples.
The girl with empty eyes, opened her arms, gathering and compressing the airflow in front of her. A sharp blade, a hundred meters long, took shape, its tip directly against the surface of the spherical barrier.
The girl pushed outward with both palms, and at the intersection of the blade tip and the spherical barrier, a void was created by the collision of different attribute spiritual forces, neither side yielding.
In the distance, Zhang Yuanqing, having injected two tubes of Life Source Elixir, gathered all the lightning attribute spiritual power in his body toward his right hand, intertwining and condensing it into a bright blue, dazzling lightning spear.
Stepping the Eight Steps, he threw it with all his might. The lightning spear shot away, leaving a trail of rampant arcs of electricity along the way, with a "sizzle" sound.
The lightning spear, carrying a 50% probability of guaranteed penetration and the power of ninth-grade lightning, struck from the side.
The spherical barrier broke the original balance of the three forces, triggering a terrifying explosion. Lightning, hurricanes, and golden light spread out, colliding and exploding with each other in the process. The aftershock swept across dozens of miles.
Zhang Yuanqing and Saiktia were far enough away that the aftershock had little destructive power when it reached them.
He deactivated the Thor Suit and said, "Saiktia, you rendezvous with Monia. Don't actively participate in the battle unless there's an opportunity to severely injure the High Priest."
After speaking, he took out the Natal Spirit Moon and wore it on his forehead, allowing vine-like black纹路 to spread across half of his face. Then, he disappeared from Saiktia's sight.
This way, he could avoid the High Priest's golden arrows and use the Natal Spirit Moon to amplify and quickly recover from his injuries.
In the following battle, he could only provide support, leaving the main output to the girl created by the Original God.
Saiktia didn't even feel curious about where her beloved man got this flashy invisibility trick. She focused on the battle and flew towards Monia, who was further away.
The High Priest, whose Law Domain had been broken, decisively switched from defense to offense, turning passivity into initiative. He drew a golden arrow and shot it at the girl.
"Shoo!"
The golden light streaked across the sky, so fast that even high-level Overseers couldn't avoid it. However, it pierced only the girl's afterimage.
Her true body appeared behind the High Priest, holding a bronze shield in one hand and a lightning spear in the other, the spearhead heavily chopping down.
The High Priest held the longbow horizontally, blocking the spearhead amidst the spewing plasma. He quickly and subtly plucked the bowstring,
With a sharp "铮" sound, a faint golden light turned into an arrow and pierced the girl's eyebrow.
Clearly, this move of self-condensing spiritual power into an arrow was something the girl hadn't seen before. She lacked similar experience and therefore failed to avoid it.
The girl's head jerked back, and a charred hole appeared on her forehead, her pupils dilating.
The High Priest had realized that this girl possessed the power of Wind, Thunder, War God, Void, and 海妖 domains, like a monster forcibly pieced together from the power of multiple gods.
The disadvantage was that she couldn't skillfully control the power yet, and her combat experience was almost zero.
Just like now, a small trick caused the girl to briefly lose consciousness.
The High Priest kicked her into the sky, drew the fifth arrow, nocked it, and drew the bow. A golden light flashed.
The girl screamed, and golden flames spewed from her seven orifices, igniting into a golden torch.
Her life, her spiritual power, evaporated rapidly in the flames. The High Priest didn't let go of any chance to win. He pulled out the last golden arrow from the quiver on his back.
Suddenly, a figure wearing purple-gold armor appeared silently behind the High Priest. His right fist, with sharp spikes on the knuckles, hooked and struck his temple.
The High Priest lightly tilted the longbow, snapping it open on the fist, and headbutted the enemy behind him.
Close combat was the fastest way to repel enemies.
"Crack!"
The head of the person behind him instantly shattered, like a package stuffed with a devil's cannon. The helmet and mask covering his head also exploded into purple-gold liquid in the first instant.
The headless corpse fell into the sea.
The High Priest was stunned. The enemy was weaker than he imagined. The powerful armor contained a weak ant, no, a Netherworld creature that had already lost its life.
He realized he had fallen into a trap. If it were such a weak ant, he would never have missed the opportunity to kill the girl.
Just then, the High Priest felt his Qi and blood begin to decline, his spiritual power was dim and polluted, his armpits emitted a stench, and at the same time, a twisted figure appeared a dozen meters away.
That figure seemed to be performing some kind of powerful dance, finishing the last move just as it appeared. Then, he bowed to the floating gourd.
"Please turn around, treasure."
In an instant, a white light burst from the gourd's mouth, with eyes and eyebrows, sharp and unmatched. It "popped" into the High Priest's forehead at an unstoppable, unavoidable speed, white and round, spinning.
The High Priest's eyes dimmed, and he stood there like a wooden chicken.
The white light rolled, but did not sever the High Priest's head. Even though this peak Overlord had consumed a lot of spiritual power and physical strength, and suffered serious injuries, he still could not kill with one strike.
Seizing this opportunity, the girl transformed into lightning, appearing in front of the High Priest and grabbing a lightning blade from the void.
Flashes of lightning, with "噗噗" sounds, the High Priest's head was the first to fly up, followed by his arms and legs separating from his body, his torso severed at the waist.
The girl, who had finally learned to ambush, recited a solemn decree: "Forbid Self-Healing."
A bronze-colored light flashed, and the rules of the冥冥 were established.
The corpse parts that were about to reassemble instantly lost their activity, falling weakly into the 头汪洋.
Zhang Yuanqing came out of invisibility and shouted at the girl, "Watch out behind you!"
A golden light pierced out from the girl's chest, a sharp arrow.
The girl's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ear holes spewed golden flames. She stiffly twisted her neck and saw the High Priest, shining with golden light, behind her.
This High Priest, having lost his physical body, had his primordial spirit like a 暝体, holding the last golden arrow. After three consecutive hits with arrows, the girl's body could no longer hold on. She carbonized and dissolved rapidly in the golden light. She looked at the High Priest, a blank expression on her childish face.
"Why, I still, can't beat you..."
The High Priest's aura was already extremely weak, but his soul burst out with a powerful momentum, and he said in a deep voice, "Of course you can't beat me. Your power comes from sacrifice. They sacrificed blood essence to the Original God, and the Original God created you. But do you know the essence of the great divine powers? Have you gradually comprehended and practiced divine power? You are just a fake who obtains power through unorthodox means."
"Why do you think you can beat me? In front of a true expert, you are just a little..."
mn 合最居见身身,冲中迅的身说的简缩的太
The girl struggled to raise her hand and used her last strength to condense a lightning ball, pressing it against the High Priest's chest!
*Boom!*
The extremely yang lightning ball exploded, thinning the golden light on the High Priest's surface, almost collapsing his primordial spirit.
The girl's slender body寸崩露, turning into ashes, disappearing into smoke.
He raised his right hand high and stabbed the Golden Divine Sword into the High Priest's天灵盖.
The power of the Sun God erupted within the High Priest, igniting his primordial spirit.
The High Priest, who was already a candle in the wind, turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanqing, his eyes filled with shock: "You, you are a descendant of the sun?! No, the sun cannot have descendants, you, you are a邪神信徒 who stole the power of the sun..."
In the lingering sound, the High Priest dissipated in the golden flames. Zhang Yuanqing heard the Spirit Realm prompt:
*Ding! Congratulations on completing the solo Spirit Realm mission - The Submergence of Paphos Island, No. 05, Difficulty Level S. Calculating rewards!*
