Chapter 244 Battle against Alice

Alice hung from a blood-red silk thread, looking down at the empty Arena.

No one responded to her.

But she wasn't in a hurry, instead speaking in a flat tone, "Ten seconds..."

"Twenty seconds."

Her voice remained steady, but her brow had already begun to furrow slightly.

"Thirty seconds..."

She tilted her head; things weren't progressing as she had expected. Below, there was still only deathly silence.

"Forty seconds..."

"Fifty seconds..."

Alice finally showed a look of difficulty, beginning to look around irritably.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu's heart was bleeding.

One golden body card after another was being consumed.

All the ones he had been reluctant to use before were being made up for now.

"What a beast, she just had to target me!"

"Who did I even offend..."

"The others surely haven't encountered this situation, right?"

Chen Yu remained motionless under the effect of the golden body card.

As for the "one minute" Alice had announced, he didn't believe a single word of it.

But regardless of his disbelief, he did see some changes...

Those blood-red silk threads were snapping one by one, drifting down into the darkness.

The greyish aura overhead began to dissipate from the edges.

The domain was collapsing.

Alice hung in mid-air, her patience being worn away bit by bit.

A minute had already passed since Chen Yu used the golden body card.

She was silent for a moment, then lowered her head, flipped open a medical record, and turned to a certain page.

"Fine, since you won't come out..."

"Symptom."

"Tremor."

Boom—!!!!!

The entire Arena shook violently!

The corner of Chen Yu's mouth curled up: "She's getting anxious. If she's anxious, I'm safe. It looks like her domain won't last much longer!"

With Alice as the center, a visible spherical shockwave expanded outward!

Wherever it passed, the remaining blood-red silk threads in the air were instantly shattered into powder; not even a fragment remained, as they were directly vibrated into nothingness!

The ground of the Arena began to crack the moment the shockwave swept over it!

Even Chen Yu hadn't expected it—

He actually felt a threat while in his golden body state?

The vibration passed through the rule isolation layer of the golden body card and rippled once through the interior of the inner world!

Chen Yu didn't dare be overconfident and silently retreated a bit further!

In truth, this was purely Alice's incompetent rage, because the golden body card weakened the vast majority of the vibration. When it brushed past Chen Yu's body, it didn't even lift the corner of his clothes...

By the time the vibration stopped, another ten seconds had passed!

The Arena had become a massive pattern of spiderweb cracks, the ground vibrated into fragments, but the golden body card remained as solid as a lonely island in another world, motionless amidst the surging tide!

Alice stood on the ruins, her patience finally completely exhausted at this moment!

"Do you plan to hide inside for the rest of your life?"

"Do you think you're very clever? Admit it, lowly passenger, you aren't worthy of those gloves. In your hands, they will only gather dust, never able to display their true power!"

"People like you..."

She didn't finish!

A cleaver tore out from the dust!

There was no warning!

The blade passed through the collapsing blood-red silk threads and slashed down toward Alice's face!

The blade's edge dragged a sharp arc of light through the air!!!

Alice's reaction was fast to the extreme; she instinctively raised her hand, but before her palm could light up—

The demon-slaying gloves were already slapping her in the face!!!

Boom!!!!

A dull impact sound exploded!

Alice was instantly sent flying, flipping several times in the air before landing heavily and steadily!

And the cleaver in Chen Yu's hand, unsurprisingly, shattered into pieces!

"You seek death!"

Buzz!!!

At the same time, from Alice's direction, a dark shadow attacked!!!

Was that... an earring?!

But it expanded rapidly in mid-air. When it fully unfolded, it had turned into a massive black disc covering half the sky above the Arena, falling from the highest point!

Boom—!!!!!!!!!!

The disc crashed into the center of the Arena, completely crushing the ground that had already been turned into a spiderweb. Rubble and dust were sent flying in all directions!

The dust slowly settled,

But there was no sign of Chen Yu anywhere.

This guy had hidden himself away again.

"Just who are you?"

"No one should be able to possess so many Passenger Cards..."

No response.

Alice looked up at the blood-red silk net overhead that was accelerating its disintegration. The speed of snapping was getting faster and faster, and greyish-white natural light was beginning to seep through the cracks!

She tidied the dust on her skirt. "Next time we meet, you will surely die..."

"Die my ass!"

Another brand-new, giant Boning Knife tore out from the halo of light!

This strike was faster and more ruthless than the last!

It slashed straight for Alice's neck!

This was also the last steel knife in Chen Yu's personal backpack!

Alice's pupils constricted slightly...

The black ribbon in her hair slipped from the end of her ponytail just before the blade reached the side of her neck, expanding, unfolding, tightening, and blocking the front of the blade in mid-air!

?

The blade struck the taut ribbon, and its force was instantly neutralized!

Buzz!

The ribbon instantly wrapped around the Boning Knife!

In the next second, the entire blade shattered into more than a dozen fragments, scattering across the ground with a clatter!

At the same moment the knife broke, Chen Yu released the handle and threw a punch!

"Hmph."

Based on the collision just now, Chen Yu was certain that Alice's physical body was not invincible!

His constitution value was enough to cause her damage!

But in the next moment, his wrist was accurately entangled by the ribbon, which moved like a living snake, wrapping around twice before tightening!

The demon-slaying gloves could isolate magic, but the ribbon's physical toughness was completely unaffected!

Chen Yu struggled hard, but the ribbon didn't budge!

"Oh no, I got greedy!"

After securing its hold, the ribbon began to grow again, passing the elbow joint and wrapping around his upper arm!

In an instant, Chen Yu's arms were pinned to his chest, unable to open!

Even more lethally, the ribbon suddenly elongated, floating and weaving through the air!

It looked like Chen Yu was about to be completely bundled up like a zongzi!

Alice leapt down and stood before him, the corner of her mouth turning up slightly: "Stay here forever..."

At the critical moment,

Water Bubble suddenly squeezed out from his shirt, its true size unfolding completely within a tenth of a second!

The ribbon wrapped around Water Bubble's body, and Water Bubble's body immediately dented in!

"That's enough, retreat!"

Chen Yu spoke immediately to prevent Water Bubble from being injured or even dying suddenly!

Upon receiving the command, Water Bubble also instantly shrank back into his clothes!

Pui!

While Chen Yu clutched a golden body card, he fiercely spat a mouthful of saliva into Alice's face!

"If you want it, you can have it!"

Buzz!

The man and pet disappeared again!

This time, no matter what was said, he wouldn't come out!

In the Arena, Alice blinked, the saliva sliding down her cheek...

She raised her hand, wiped the saliva off her face with her finger, and looked down at the liquid on her fingertip. For the first time, her expression went blank for a moment!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

In the next breath, her dark green hair floated up on its own, despite there being no wind at all!

This was because the surrounding air had begun to vibrate!

The booklet in her hand didn't turn its pages, but her lips were moving:

"Symptom: Arrhythmia."

"Symptom: Pneumothorax."

"Symptom: Hemothorax."

"Symptom: Increased Intracranial Pressure."

"Symptom: Muscle Tear, Ligament Rupture, Visceral Rupture, Joint Dislocation."
