487: Chapter 485 There are still experts

Tang Zheng had arrived!

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Whether it was his severe injuries at the moment, the oppression of the [Prison Lock Dragon], or the intense pain brought by the [Fire of Nirvana] surrounding his body, all of it made him feel as if he were suffering through a great ordeal.

If not for his powerful willpower and his skyrocketing spirit attribute, he probably would have collapsed into unconsciousness long ago.

But now, seeing Tang Zheng's arrival, Chu Xuan immediately felt the heavy burden on his shoulders lighten considerably.

Finally, a reliable person had come; there was no need to doubt his stance or worry about any hidden schemes.

This was one of his own.

Rumble—!!

Another thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, and the giant monster wailed as it fell to the ground, crushing several tall buildings.

The giant monster lay on the ground, raising its massive head as a red glow began to condense in its mouth once again.

"Who are you? You're looking for death!!"

Xuanwu pulled out the spear that had pierced his body, and the hole in his chest and abdomen healed instantly. He stood up, roaring as he waved his large hand, stirring up a tornado around him.

Within the icy tornado, countless eerie human faces flickered, letting out shrill wails as the wind blades within swirled.

"Gloomy Cold Wind Blades!!"

"Wind your ass!" Tang Zheng roared. In an instant, he flickered, carrying his speakers and transforming into a beam of white light that charged into the tornado.

Before Xuanwu could react, a hand reached into his mouth and gripped his teeth.

Compared to Xuanwu, who was over ten meters tall, Tang Zheng looked like a tiny speck, but with a violent swing, Xuanwu's entire body was lifted into the air.

"Off you go!"

Tang Zheng delivered a flying kick in mid-air, and Xuanwu's body roared like a missile, shooting straight toward the distant giant monster.

Looking from afar, one could see an icy tornado plunging into the giant's mouth.

The red glow in the giant's mouth had just finished condensing into a blood-red light sphere. Before it could be fired, it was struck by the flying Xuanwu.

There was another violent explosion.

The giant monster's head blew apart.

Accompanied by a succession of lightning pillars falling from the sky, the massive hundred-meter monster trembled violently, and the monsters on its body wailed shrilly.

"I have an immortal body!"

With his body mangled and more than half of his head blown open, Xuanwu let out a long howl and rushed out from the lightning. In an instant, he was restored to his original state. He pointed his spear at Tang Zheng and laughed sharply, "Come again! You can't kill me!"

An even more majestic icy tornado rose into the sky and instantly expanded, enveloping Tang Zheng as he charged forward, with the sound of booming collisions echoing within.

"You can't kill me!" Baihu stared coldly at Chu Xuan, who continued to walk toward him with his long blade already raised, and laughed grimly.

"In your current state, even if your Black Flame possesses real damage, you can't kill me. I can recover immediately..."

Before he could finish, the crystal longsword he had been holding—which looked like it might fall from his grip at any moment due to exhaustion—suddenly thrust out.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out.

The crystal longsword, which lacked much strength, was easily blocked by the materialized Fire of Nirvana.

But immediately following that, the crystals on Baihu's arm surged, spreading along the sword toward Chu Xuan's body, expanding in the blink of an eye.

"It's done!" Baihu's face showed excitement. "The reward for slaying a Purifier, plus plundering your skills... I'm really looking forward to it..."

Puff!

With more than half of his body already covered by the spreading crystals, Chu Xuan's high-raised long blade still fell.

It was light and powerless.

The blade's edge brushed past Baihu's cheek.

It didn't even break the skin; only a wisp of Fire of Nirvana remained on Baihu's face, seemingly about to extinguish in an instant.

But at that same moment.

Baihu's voice came to an abrupt halt, and the excited smile on his face instantly froze.

A trace of confusion flashed through his eyes.

"How could..."

As the final thought flashed through his mind, Baihu's body fell backward.

Buzz!

The Black Flame on Baihu's cheek, which had been about to go out, suddenly swept over his entire body, turning into a raging fire.

[You have triggered 'Death-Dealing Blade']

[You have slain World Traitor · Baihu!]

[This creature still had 12 points of spirituality value, which have been entirely absorbed by you through the burning of the Fire of Nirvana. There were 24,000 points of spiritual essence remaining in the flesh of this body, providing you with 9,600 points in feedback;]

You have gained a total of 9,612 points of spirituality value.]

[Current spirituality value: 10,212]

[You have obtained rule fragment X3, current remaining: 7]

[You have obtained the Talent skill 'Strong Plunder'.]

...

...

When his entire body was completely covered by crystals, and every pore was sealed, Chu Xuan finally heard the System's reward notification.

—Exchange for 9 real attribute, add all to stamina!

[You have consumed 9,000 points of spirituality value, you have obtained 9 real attribute, remaining exchangeable amount: 12]

[Your real stamina attribute +9]

[Current real stamina attribute: 29]

With the increase in real stamina attribute, Chu Xuan's base health points jumped from the original 2,000 points to 2,900 points.

And with these 900 new health points, plus the remaining 588 health points, Chu Xuan's current health points finally reached 1,488, just barely exceeding 50% of his current base health points.

The Transcendent Skill [Unyielding] triggered.

In an instant, all of Chu Xuan's negative statuses were swept away.

Bang!

The crystals covering his entire body instantly shattered.

Chu Xuan's figure reappeared on the field, his posture upright and his gaze sharp. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued a command to the System.

—Level up!

[Your rule fragment -5, your spirituality value -1,000]

[Your Rank +1, current Rank LV.12]

[You have obtained 5 real attribute]

At the same time, the Fire of Nirvana swept around Chu Xuan, shimmering with a faint gold, but it was no longer as painful as before. However, his body began to stiffen and tremble again, and his consciousness felt slightly groggy.

"Is it starting again?" Chu Xuan sneered.

—Add all attribute points to spirit.

[Your real spirit attribute +5]

[Current real spirit attribute: 30]

A wisp of thought sank into the spiritual world.

In the vast space, Chu Xuan finally possessed a body.

Although it still appeared very illusory, he already had the sensation of standing on solid ground. Everything before his eyes was no longer as ethereal as before, but seemed incomparably real.

In the distance, he saw a blurred figure standing there.

Chu Xuan immediately prepared to use 'World-Class Assimilation,' but the skill flickered and dimmed, unable to lock onto the target. Seeing the blurred figure already fleeing,

Chu Xuan immediately gave chase, grabbed the other's rear shoulder, and pulled him back.

After seeing the other's face clearly, Chu Xuan was slightly startled.

The person's face was blurred, but observing the outline, it actually bore some resemblance to him.

Without hesitation, Chu Xuan raised his hand and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The blurred figure dissipated into nothingness.

Chu Xuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Resolved?" Chu Xuan was slightly taken aback. When he looked around, the vast space was silent, with no other figures to be seen.

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment and waited a bit longer, but the situation remained the same.

Thinking that although the flow of time here was slow, the crisis in the outside world had not yet been resolved, Chu Xuan immediately shifted his thoughts, and his consciousness returned to the outside world.

The Fire of Nirvana spreading around Chu Xuan had already dissipated, and the Black Flames that had materialized into flesh and membrane had also vanished.

[Current health points: 1,493/6,200]

Being in a relaxed and stationary state now, the property of [Regeneration] triggered. His broken body was slowly being repaired, and his health points were slowly recovering along with it.

"This [Regeneration] property is quite good. Like [Unyielding], it's based on base health points. It was worth the extra rule fragment spent to exchange for it..."

As Chu Xuan thought, he checked his body.

He was basically fine now, except for the heart area, where complex pitch-black patterns extended all the way to his left arm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The successive booms in the distance were still alternating.

"You can't kill me! I have an immortal body!!!"

A roar of terror resounded in all directions.

At this moment, Xuanwu was being straddled by Tang Zheng, who smashed his head over and over again. His body had shrunk several times from its previous ten-plus meters, turning into a short dwarf.

Beside the two of them stood a speaker, repeatedly playing upbeat background music.

"You can't kill..."

Bang!

Another punch pierced through his head.

"I really don't believe it!" Tang Zheng showed a ruthless expression. He raised his hand and was about to let another punch fall when he suddenly jerked to a stop.

"That's it?" Tang Zheng spat and sneered, "Little trash, what 'immortal body'? Didn't you still get killed by me?"

Xuanwu's body stopped moving completely and gradually turned into a pool of foul water.

Meanwhile, the collapsed giant monster was also completely turned to ash under the successive bolts of heavenly lightning. Of the many monsters that had been piled up within its body, only a small portion managed to break free, and they were being picked off one by one by the other Night Watchers.

"It's over..."

Seeing this scene, the crowd who could only watch from the periphery all let out a long sigh of relief, many unable to stop themselves from weeping with joy.

"I'm exhausted!" The light emanating from Tang Zheng's body gradually faded. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at Chu Xuan, and gave a toothy grin. "Little Xuan, at the critical moment, you still have to rely on your Brother Zheng, right?"

Chu Xuan walked over and glanced at the foul water, flicking a wisp of Fire of Nirvana onto it, but there was no reaction.

"Don't worry, I've already received the kill notification." Tang Zheng patted his chest and grinned. "I'm absolutely reliable in my work, don't worry."

Chu Xuan looked up and smiled. "Yeah, reliable."

"I'm also very reliable, I've been cheering you guys on the whole time!"

A call came from the side. A weathered-looking Qin Shaowu ran over while supporting Zhang Qiang's arm, laughing. "Brother Xuan! Brother Zheng! Long time no see, I've missed you guys to death!"

Chu Xuan looked toward Qin Shaowu's call, and his body suddenly jolted.

His gaze skipped over the two of them and landed on Lin Jie, who was some distance behind them.

At this moment, Lin Jie had a look of bewilderment, staring at the sky with hollow eyes.

"An unparalleled crisis..."

Chu Xuan murmured, immediately thinking of the clues given by the [Future Tang Zheng] in his dream earlier.

An unparalleled crisis related to Revelation. To successfully weather this crisis, besides needing one's own strength as a guarantee,

There was another key figure... Lin Jie.

Yet from beginning to end, Lin Jie had been on the sidelines and hadn't played any role.

"When the crisis descends, Yang Yu will naturally take action. Whatever you do, do not let Lin Jie get hurt..." Chu Xuan's heart suddenly jumped with a bad premonition, and he immediately dashed toward him.

Puff!

Suddenly, a wisp of ghostly light flashed.

Lin Jie's head fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out from his chest cavity like a fountain.
