240: Let's cooperate!

With the Shield of Holy Light in his left hand and the Sword of Holy Light in his right, Xu Le charged directly into the crowd.

"What nerve, to actually strike first!"

The Eye Demon shouted in anger. As an Intermediate Demon God leading a group of low-level Demon Gods, he was actually preempted by the opponent.

Was he facing a death-defying "reckless god," or was the other party here to scout his condition?

He secretly felt things were going south. He hadn't made a move for over half a year; if the other Demon Gods found out his Divine Soul was injured, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his territory, and he might even be abandoned by the Pumpkin God.

A crimson light shot out and arrived first despite being launched later, moving far faster than any of the Demon Gods, directly enveloping Xu Le.

The other Demon Gods laughed loudly, all believing victory was already theirs.

That red light was called [Light of Nine Illusions], reaching speeds of 300 times the speed of sound, making it almost impossible for any god to evade. Once struck, one would immediately fall into nine layers of illusions with no possibility of escape, left at their mercy.

Even the Eye Demon breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had overthought things. If the opponent were truly testing his strength, they wouldn't have been so unprepared for his ultimate move.

As the blood-colored light surged into his Sea of Consciousness, Xu Le felt his surroundings suddenly change.

A blue sky, skyscrapers made of steel and concrete, and cars racing on asphalt roads.

"Xu Le, spacing out again? There are only 594 days left until the College Entrance Examination. Why aren't you worried at all?"

"Come on, I've already drawn this auxiliary line for you. The hardest step is done; you solve the following steps."

The math teacher held a piece of chalk, looking frustrated at his lack of effort. With his classmates' gazes ranging from amusement to concern or resentment, Xu Le felt like he had returned to a high school sophomore math class in his previous life.

But there was a sense of detachment from the entire world; it felt as though he could puncture it with a single finger.

Then he reached out, and the illusion shattered.

Innate Divinity could negate 50% of damage.

In an illusion, a tiny discrepancy can lead to a massive error, let alone a difference of an entire half.

Xu Le opened his eyes and saw several Demon Gods grinning as they flew over to deliver the finishing blows, completely unguarded.

Kill!

He slammed his shield into a humanoid Demon God and thrust his light sword deep into the opponent's heart. He couldn't help it; he was most familiar with the weaknesses of humanoid deities.

"What?"

The Demon God, stabbed in the chest, hadn't even reacted. It wasn't until his heart shattered that he opened his eyes in terror.

Even for a deity, the heart is a vital point. Unless one possesses a Skill or Spell like the "Indestructible Sacred Heart Art," a shattered heart means death.

Having succeeded with one strike, Xu Le didn't stop. With a backhand swing, he decapitated two more deities.

In just one encounter, the Eye Demon had already lost three subordinates.

This was due to their lack of preparation, as well as Xu Le's exceptionally powerful combat strength.

A serpent-type Demon God saw his three companions fall, yet he showed no fear at all.

Among the gods, his strength was top-tier. Combined with his terrifying Physical Body defense, he didn't believe Xu Le could do anything to him.

Taking advantage of Xu Le chasing down the other deities, he charged straight at him.

In all the martial arts of the world, only power remains unbreakable!

The air was torn apart with a loud explosion. The moment Xu Le heard the sonic boom, he snapped back to his senses and raised his shield to block, only to be sent flying dozens of meters by the massive force.

"Useless trash, just stay back and cast your Spells. Don't get in Lord Dragon's way!"

The Serpent God twisted his body, and several New Gods were swatted away by his tail, yet they didn't dare utter a word.

Another Wolf God laughed loudly, baring his hideous teeth. Following behind the Serpent God, he let out a wolfish howl at Xu Le.

Xu Le's Divine Soul shuddered. After half a second of dizziness, his body had already been half-swallowed by the Serpent God.

"Haha, your flesh should taste good!" The Wolf God laughed wildly and lunged to bite Xu Le's arm. On the other side, a Dark Shadow Assassin also charged in.

It had to be said that the Eye Demon's subordinates were a "talented" bunch of gods.

Xu Le's heart stirred. He didn't reveal that Spu was just one of his alt accounts; instead, he brandished the Sword of Holy Light and released Ghost.

[Summon Angel]

It should be reasonable to summon a Four-Winged Angel, right?

??!

The gods paused. A Two-Winged Angel could summon a Four-Winged Angel?

Then could a Four-Winged Angel summon a Six-Winged Angel?

Ghost didn't care what the gods were thinking. He swung his shield to block the Wolf God's mouth, and the Sword of Holy Light in his right hand began to condense mana. He was going to use [Holy Light Judgment] and cast the Spell directly into the Wolf God's mouth!

Terror flashed in the Wolf God's eyes. Having regained his senses, Xu Le used his shield to bash the Serpent God with his left hand, while the light sword in his right hand continuously gathered mana. He didn't strike yet, waiting for the dark shadow to arrive.

Bang, bang, bang... The Serpent God was repeatedly struck by the shield, making his head spin and preventing him from continuing to swallow for the moment.

The dark shadow waited quietly. Seeing Xu Le evade a stored-up strike from the Serpent God, he moved!

Taking advantage of the moment Xu Le's old momentum was spent, a sharp dagger thrust toward his heart. It was silent and soundless, as if the dagger were stationary and Xu Le were actively crashing into it.

The Sword of Holy Light moved, like a white snake, suddenly striking toward the dark shadow behind the dagger.

You've fallen for it!

The corner of the dark shadow's mouth curled up. He released his right hand, and his left hand took over the dagger to thrust forward, his body swerving half a turn to avoid the direct point of the light sword.

Puchi!

The light sword thrust diagonally toward the front-left at an even faster speed, piercing through the dark shadow's heart. The Holy Light accumulated inside erupted suddenly, incinerating all his internal organs into ashes.

[Experience +600 Billion]

[Divine Soul +0.1]

At the same time, Ghost thrust his light sword into the Wolf God's eye, piercing his brain. Similarly, Holy Light erupted, burning his brain to ashes.

"Lord Eye Demon, save me!"

The Serpent God's eyes were filled with terror; he finally knew fear.

Xu Le and Ghost both continuously swung their swords, hacking at the Serpent God.

Ghost's vessel was a Peak Four-Winged Angel close to a Six-Winged Angel. His physique and mana were at the level of a Level 39 deity. Every strike could significantly deplete the Serpent God's physical attributes.

Although the Spu controlled by Xu Le was only a New God, he possessed the experience of the "Indestructible Battle Staff." Each strike could unleash the maximum attack power of a New God, making him not much inferior to Ghost.

"Save me!"

Seeing his life force hit rock bottom, the Serpent God looked up at the Eye Demon, only to find that he had directly killed all the spectating New Gods.

Using calculation against the unsuspecting and knowing their weaknesses, he killed five New Gods in an instant.

"Bastard!"

"You summoned us Subordinate Gods here, and seeing things go south, you actually turned on us and killed us. You Bastard!"

The Serpent God widened his snake eyes and desperately advanced toward the Eye Demon, but under the rain of attacks from Xu Le and Ghost, his body was quickly filled with Holy Light.

"Explode!"

Xu Le and Ghost dodged simultaneously. The Holy Light within the Serpent God's body violently clashed with his own mana. Suddenly, it could no longer be suppressed and exploded.

Boom!

The Serpent God, who had withstood the two's siege for over three minutes, exploded directly. A wisp of his Divine Soul drifted out and was swiftly cut down by Ghost's sword.

[Experience +600 Billion]

[Divine Soul +0.1]

Xu Le looked at the last remaining Eye Demon: "Don't think that just because you killed your own gods, I'll let you off."

The Eye Demon was noncommittal: "Do you want to reach the Peak as quickly as possible? Let's cooperate!"
