480: Chapter 478 Battle of the Capital

Chu Xuan strode into the sky, arriving a thousand meters up in the blink of an eye. He kept drawing his bow, raining arrows down below.

A series of crackling sounds suddenly erupted around White Tiger.

Without Huo Gui's help, White Tiger only had Level 3 Teleportation. He couldn't ascend fast enough to catch up to Chu Xuan and became a sitting duck.

Locked on by killing intent, White Tiger had nowhere to hide. He could only choose to resist with his bare fists as he tried to ascend, but he could only make it a hundred meters before being shot back down repeatedly.

Chu Xuan stepped through the Void Realm repeatedly, moving constantly in the air. He circled the White Tiger on the ground, continuously drawing his bow and firing arrows.

As the crystals on White Tiger's arms shattered repeatedly without time to repair, Chu Xuan quickly received feedback of over 50 points of spirituality value through the Fire of Nirvana.

Arrows wreathed in Black Flame continuously turned into streaks of light.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

White Tiger was hit in the chest and abdomen by four consecutive arrows, letting out an angry roar. Chu Xuan directly gained over a hundred points of spirituality value.

Suddenly, lightning chased across the horizon as Huo Gui's figure flashed by.

Chu Xuan estimated the distance. Seeing he was within the range of the overlord bow, he didn't hesitate to fire an arrow. Locked on by killing intent, it flew straight toward Huo Gui.

Huo Gui hurriedly dodged and did not dare to approach again.

He still wanted to help White Tiger, but after this probe, he didn't dare get close.

He had already suffered losses and knew that even if he wasn't shot dead, he would be injured. Especially since he realized he couldn't immune the interference of Chu Xuan's Heart Bewitchment, getting too close could lead to being insta-killed. He had already developed a sense of fear toward Chu Xuan.

"Take this!"

Lightning flashed. The moment Huo Gui appeared, he was nearly hit by an electric arc. He had to teleport several kilometers away again and immediately pulled out a test tube.

"Only one health points recovery potion left!" Huo Gui drank the liquid inside and turned to look at the lightning chasing him from the horizon.

Most of his methods required spirituality value, but just now, his spirituality value had been cleared by a single blade strike. Now, he couldn't even deal with a chicken.

Even at his peak, he knew he lacked the control skills to deal with that lightning-fast chicken, but he still felt incredibly frustrated.

For now, he could only escape by consuming health points and Mental Energy.

He already felt mentally exhausted and didn't dare to expend more Mental Energy; otherwise, his reactions would slow down, and he would become a lamb for the slaughter.

"I can't count on White Tiger. Rather than being worn down to death, I'll take a gamble!" Huo Gui gritted his teeth, took out another test tube filled with green liquid, and consumed it.

Instantly, his spirituality value recovered by 1000 points, but his whole body trembled. Veins bulged on his face as he clearly endured immense pain.

Not only that, his maximum health points limit directly decreased by twenty percent.

Seeing the lightning arrive, Huo Gui roared and slashed out several void cracks in front of him. Just as the lightning dodged those cracks...

The longsword in Huo Gui's hand erupted with a brilliant light.

"Die for me!"

Sword light radiated in all directions. Amidst that lightning, a spray of blood and scattered chicken feathers suddenly flew out.

Puchi!

At the same time, Huo Gui saw an arc of electricity flash past the corner of his eye. A large chunk of flesh was torn from his shoulder and most of his neck.

But he couldn't feel the pain. He only felt his whole body go numb and paralyzed. His only remaining thought was to flee.

Escape quickly!

As the thought arose, Huo Gui's figure vanished, hiding in a basement.

His entire body was charred, and lightning still crackled around him. It took a good while for him to recover.

When he could control his body again, Huo Gui was horrified to find that his health points, which had just been topped up, had actually dropped by thirty percent.

"Damn it! Where did this beast come from?!" Huo Gui was filled with indignation.

"Xiao Zei, I smell your scent!"

A booming explosion echoed as the underground space collapsed under a strike of lightning. Amidst the smoke and dust, a rooster covered in blood with half its feathers missing shot toward him.

Huo Gui knew his agility was far inferior. He didn't dare resist anymore and teleported away immediately.

"You dare hurt me? You can't escape! Lord Peng is going to open your chrysanthemum a hundred times, a hundred times!" A sharp, angry voice soon followed along with the lightning.

Huo Gui gritted his teeth in misery, forced to consume health points to flee.

"Damn Yan Guofa, he clearly wanted to get me killed!" The more Huo Gui fled, the more aggrieved he felt. He had thought no one in the world could kill him, but now he had become a bird in a cage, trapped here.

"Chaos, Zhu Zhao, what are those two doing? Even if Chaos can't manifest yet, why hasn't Zhu Zhao come to help?!"

"And Revelation, are there no other backup plans? Could it be that they saw the situation was bad and simply went into hiding?"

As Huo Gui watched his health points dwindle, a faint sliver of fear rose in his heart.

"No! Impossible! There must be a backup plan! And White Tiger will definitely kill Chu Xuan. We can still turn the tables then!"

Huo Gui's eyes were bloodshot.

He looked toward the central battlefield. Seeing White Tiger suddenly pull out a golden orb under Chu Xuan's continuous arrow bombardment, his pupils shrank as he teleported further away again.

"You think you're worthy of kiting me?!" White Tiger's expression turned hideous as he crushed the metal orb.

Weng!!!

The metal orb exploded. Amidst the booming blast, countless metal fragments, glowing red from high temperatures, shot out in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom!

With the explosion as the center, everything within a two-thousand-meter radius erupted and turned into ruins.

In the range of two to four thousand meters, the earth split and buildings collapsed, covered in marks left by the metal shards.

"Forced into self-mutilation, are we..."

Chu Xuan consumed over a hundred points of spirituality value to repair the indestructible flowing shadow that had turned into a shield.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his body was covered in blood, and several cuts from metal shards marked his face.

[Current health points: 4452]

"The range and power of that explosion are comparable to a small nuclear bomb..." Chu Xuan's expression was slightly solemn. He had distanced himself in time and wasn't at the center of the blast, but he was still caught in the aftermath, suffering some injuries and losing nearly a thousand health points.

As the dust settled, a mangled figure consisting only of a skeletal frame and flesh appeared in the ruins.

He looked up at Chu Xuan high in the sky and roared: "Battle Without End!!"

In an instant, his flesh reorganized, and countless crystals surfaced. White Tiger transformed into a crystal man over two meters tall.

He looked exactly like a giant humanoid diamond.

"You're dead!!"

White Tiger pointed a finger at the sky, let out a roar, and stepped into the air.

Chu Xuan fired several arrows again, but they only produced metallic clanging sounds. These arrows, fired without charging, could no longer break through the defense.

[White Tiger: health points 3600; spirituality value 1295]

"The real battle starts now..."

Chu Xuan let out a long breath. He felt no fear; instead, a surge of hot-blooded excitement rose within him. He put away the overlord bow, and the indestructible flowing shadow transformed back into a long blade as he charged toward the White Tiger below.

Amidst the ruins, the two moved as fast as lightning, going from high altitude to the ground and back again. Every clash was accompanied by a vibrating boom.

The onlookers outside were dumbfounded. The cameraman holding the camera sat on the ground with limp limbs, his face full of horror.

This scene was being broadcast nationwide; almost everyone was watching this great battle.

"Is that even human?"

"They didn't even die from such a terrifying explosion..."

"Chu Xuan should win, right?"

"So many of us have bet our spirituality value on him. Chu Xuan will definitely win..."

The people outside stood in various places, perched on high buildings, looking at the arena that had been sealed off and turned into a red light.

Among them, a few people had dark expressions, their eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"Sigh... I knew it. Even at a time like this, there are still people who make the wrong decision."

A faint sigh sounded. The aged Yan Guofa suddenly appeared before a person. His figure swayed as he shakily raised a finger.

"Freeze!"

As the word left his mouth, the person's expression turned to terror. Yan Guofa walked over and pressed a finger against their brow. The person exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

"Those who didn't bet on Chu Xuan... I shall harvest them..."

The elderly man's back bent even lower. He looked around at the crowd. Several people's faces changed drastically, and they immediately tried to flee, leaping away.

"Freeze!"

With another "Freeze," those people seemed to have a pause button pressed on them, stopping mid-air.

As Yan Guofa walked past them one by one, he reached out his hand. Bloody hearts continuously fell into his grasp, and he crushed them directly.

The people in the air all fell like dumplings.

The crowd looked at Yan Guofa in horror.

"The traitors have been removed. You... don't need to stay here and watch. Go deal with the Specters rioting in the capital..." Yan Guofa sat on a bench by the roadside, gazing at the distant battlefield. His eyes were drooping, showing no more emotion.
