691: Chapter 689 My Path Is Not Lonely

Everything was just as Chu Xuan had judged earlier; Tang Zheng safely weathered the crisis.

In about a minute, the eerie blood-red color in Tang Zheng's bones dissipated and returned to normal.

Afterward, flesh and skin grew, and until another minute passed, Tang Zheng was completely as good as new.

The moment Tang Zheng got up, he cursed, "Damn it, that curse-killing skill is simply too disgusting. It actually consumed over thirty thousand of my spirituality value to fully recover. Fortunately, I just used Slash on two old fogies and got rich."

"Causing me to lose so much spirituality value, I must kill her!" Tang Zheng looked up and saw that streak of blood-red light still darting around frantically, not daring to stop for even a second, and constantly maintaining an extreme position thirty meters high.

"It seems that Sect Leader Zhihua of the Blood Shadow Sect has been scared frightened by our two consecutive sneak attacks." Chu Xuan said faintly.

"Then she had better keep doing this forever, otherwise... as long as she dares to stop, I can make sure she has no chance to execute the curse-killing, and beat her to death!" Tang Zheng said coldly.

"This is indeed a hazard and cannot be left alive." Chu Xuan's eyes also revealed murderous intent.

That curse-killing art seemed to be a Karma-type skill, truly impossible to guard against.

Both he and Tang Zheng had suffered a considerable loss at the other's hands.

However, what followed turned out to be exactly what Tang Zheng had predicted.

Zhihua was tireless, always darting everywhere in the form of blood-red light.

Her speed was so fast that even Chu Xuan's vision could hardly capture it clearly; he could only see the blood-red light constantly flashing.

"Could she want to keep going like this until the game ends?"

Chu Xuan felt it was a bit exaggerated; maintaining such high speed for a long time must consume a tremendous amount of energy.

Using [Tracing Cause and Effect] to capture her figure, he instantly checked the reason why she was able to do this.

Although Zhihua's vital breath was constantly weakening and extremely withered at the moment, every once in a while, she would take out a mass of flesh and blood and swallow it raw, seemingly able to make up for her consumption this way.

"Able to turtle and able to scheme, this female must not be kept alive!" Chu Xuan's murderous intent grew even stronger in his heart.

Zhihua's abacus was calculated well, but Chu Xuan had already remembered her.

Even if Zhihua managed to survive this game by luck, Chu Xuan would still hunt her down to death through [Tracing Cause and Effect].

At the same time, just when Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng entered underground again earlier, Jianxu and Minge had also chased after them.

Looking at the leftover combat traces on the battlefield, Jianxu was furious beyond control, knowing that he had just fallen for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

He coldly glanced at Minge at the chest of the Demon Lord's body, his murderous intent bone-chilling:

"If you hadn't stopped me from coming back earlier, how could those three Senior Martial Uncles of mine have died miserably? You must give me an explanation..."

"Explanation?" Minge and the Demon Lord's body spoke at the same time, shouting sternly:

"If Chu Xuan does not die, the rules of this place cannot dissipate. Your Daoyuan realm is my greatest threat, so please be buried together with those three old things!"

While speaking, Minge grabbed fiercely toward Jianxu.

"Plucking Stars!"

In an instant, a black hole-like radiance flashed within the giant claw, resembling space collapsing in the palm.

A ferocious suction force was generated, and the surrounding yellow sand turned into tornadoes, all being sucked into it.

Affected by the suction force, Jianxu flew over involuntarily.

"Court death!" Jianxu let out a long whistle, transforming into a giant sword and slashing over.

As the two sides fought each other, the entire game venue was shaking, and even the underground where Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng were located was trembling.

"This game space won't be broken, right?" Tang Zheng said with uncertainty and doubt.

"It shouldn't be. This is an enhanced version of the rule-based game, which cannot be immunized by anything less than transcendent life!" Chu Xuan shook his head and said:

"That Jianxu has just entered Daoyuan, roughly at the 19th-Rank life level, and there is also that Demon Lord's body. Even during its lifetime, its life level failed to break through above the 20th Rank, let alone now after death."

Tang Zheng asked in confusion: "How do you know so much?"

Chu Xuan smiled calmly: "I have already become the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, do you think there is anything that can be kept from me?"

Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Then do you need spirituality value right now? I still have over eighty thousand spirituality value that is over-limit, and in a few minutes, it will disappear."

Chu Xuan glanced at his current spirituality value.

[ 204691 ]

Among this spirituality value exceeding 200,000, nearly 40,000 came from Tang Zheng killing the Grand Elder and the Third Elder. The System judged that Chu Xuan participated and harvested 30% of the proceeds.

Another ten-plus thousand spirituality value was the 1% proceeds obtained as the game designer when a large number of Bandits and police officers died just now.

Earlier, under the chase and kill of Jianxu and Minge, Chu Xuan had focused on his main body and failed to spare much distraction to control them, so those Clones had long since dissipated.

But the slaughter between Bandits and police officers was still continuing to this day.

Chu Xuan's spirituality value was still soaring continuously; during this conversation, it had already reached 210,000.

And Chu Xuan was currently at Rank 16, with a spirituality value upper limit of only a little over 170,000.

There were still nearly 40,000 spirituality value in an over-limit state, and this was even under the condition that he had fully replenished the Slashes within his body.

After a long time, Chu Xuan once again experienced the sweet trouble.

"I also have over forty thousand spirituality value with nowhere to use." Chu Xuan pondered and said: "Unless you have enough soul crystals, I can still use them to Cultivate Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques, and carry out personal Rank improvements..."

"How could there be extra of that stuff? I myself still have many skills stuck and unable to be upgraded, and I'm lacking soul crystals right now!" Tang Zheng shook his head and suddenly said:

"However, Duan Lingxi should still have a spirit pot there, which is enough for us to store another 100,000 points of spirituality value."

Pondering for a moment, Tang Zheng said again: "Give me a few minutes, let me try if I can take you to Traverse space and directly break through the blockade of these game rules..."

"You even have this ability?" Chu Xuan couldn't help asking.

Tang Zheng smiled calmly: "My Traverse skill has already reached Rank 7, and I can even transmigrate worlds, it's just that there are many restrictions. However, this place of game rules should be no problem."

"After all, the rules here are just game settings, not mandatory tasks of the System. According to my experience, as long as we break away from the range, we can ignore the erasure of the game rules."

"As such, whether the Cop and Robber Game wins or loses will have nothing to do with us anymore."

As he spoke, Tang Zheng looked up at Jianxu and Minge who were slaughtering each other, and said with a sneer:

"I always feel that Minge is still hiding something, and it's not that she cannot summon the Demon Lord's body for a long time... or perhaps the restriction on time is far from as short as we imagined."

"Since that's the case, we might as well just leave, go find Duan Lingxi to store the spirituality value first, and then go to those forbidden lands to develop for a wave, maybe we can even trigger a few exclusive quests, and it won't be too late to kill our way back when our strength is sufficient."

Chu Xuan's eyes revealed deep thought.

Tang Zheng's suggestion was not a bad method.

Indeed, there was no need for them to take risks and consume energy hard here; they could completely leave first and let this game place become a temporary cage trapping Jianxu and Minge.

However, from another perspective, utilizing the rules of this game place was also an excellent opportunity to kill Minge and Jianxu.

And the compulsory random teleportation on the cylindrical high platform, which had a chance to be triggered once every 15 minutes, was where the opportunity lay.

Compared to the spirituality value about to be lost due to over-limit, the temptation to kill Jianxu and Minge was undoubtedly greater.

Just as Chu Xuan was weighing the risks and rewards therein, and whether it was feasible to occupy the cylindrical high platform to win the game, a crack suddenly flashed across the vibrating space at the battle place of Minge and Jianxu.

At the same time, a bizarre voice sounded from within the crack, echoing in every corner of this yellow-sand gray city.

"Daoyuan realm..."

"After many years, to think there is still a junior who can enter this realm once more; I am not alone on the Dao!!"
