221: Chapter 221 Gods Want to Enter the Dragon Kingdom? Lin Yuan: Not a chance!

Golden-red blood threads burrowed into the Pharmacist's chest.

It wasn't a stab.

It was returning home.

The Pharmacist's body stiffened; lines bulged under his white coat, as if snakes were crawling inside.

The seven hundred mutilated Awakened Ones on the ground screamed in unison.

Potion patterns lit up on their chests.

Blue.

Golden-red.

The two lights mixed together, eventually swallowed by that rotting sun.

The old man stood before the shattered glass, the halo of light behind him rotating.

He raised his hand.

The runes beneath the Pharmacist's feet changed color inch by inch.

From dark red to golden-red.

"Pharmacist."

The old man's laughter was very light.

"Every potion you have created is a breeding ground for the Divine Light."

The Pharmacist's mouth twitched.

The Mirror Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the altar, not moving.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen leaned against a steel beam, veins bulging on the back of her hand.

She was still faking an injury.

Only this time, it was very difficult to act.

The old man looked at the Awakened Ones on the ground.

"The people of the Dragon Kingdom love to talk about sacrifice."

"Today, I will teach you what true sacrifice is."

He opened his arms.

"They will not die."

"They will be with me."

As his words fell.

In the direction of the Pudong wharf, the night sky lit up.

A pillar of golden-red light shot up from the seaside.

Then a second one.

A third.

The entire landing point seemed to be ignited.

A Chunin who had just killed a family of survivors in Shanghai, having just fastened his belt, suddenly felt blood threads appear before him.

His Superpower, ninjutsu, and flesh were all drained, leaving behind only a skin.

Roars came through the residual communication frequency.

"Elder! The Divine Light inside us is going berserk!"

"Why are you draining us?"

"That's not right! Weren't the sacrifices supposed to be the people of the Dragon Kingdom?"

"Baka! Stop! Stop it!"

The sounds of chaos were quickly drowned out by screams.

One thousand Awakened ninjas from the Japanese Side.

The Sea Ghost Unit.

Before they could even make an appearance.

They all became firewood.

In the direction of the Airport New Village, Director Xu Changfeng heard the residual frequency, and his face darkened.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Zheng stared at the screen, his throat moving.

"They even eat their own people?"

Director Xu Changfeng did not answer.

Because the answer was right there in the pillars of light.

The remnants of the Ninja Guild knelt first.

Then someone drew a sword.

And then, they too were dragged into the light by the blood threads.

The Japanese Side is very good at bowing.

Once they knelt this time, they had no chance to get back up.

The top floor of the Jinmao Tower.

The Pharmacist was hung up by the blood threads.

His hands and feet hung limp, his life force being drained away bit by bit.

Yet he stared at the Mirror Lin Yuan and laughed.

"Lin Yuan."

"I am unwilling to lose to the Japanese Side."

"But you don't understand either."

"You don't understand what I have sacrificed for the Dragon Kingdom."

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen raised her eyes.

There was finally a crack in her eyes.

"Shut up."

The Pharmacist grinned, blood flowing from between his teeth.

"Grandmaster Ling, you are right to scold me."

"I am a madman."

"And a butcher."

The old man pressed his finger down.

The blood threads on the Pharmacist's chest tightened.

Crack.

A rib snapped.

He was still laughing.

The old man didn't look at him anymore, but turned to the Mirror Lin Yuan.

"Your qi and blood are very strong."

"Cleaner than these defective products."

"Once I swallow you, the gods will be able to cross the final door."

A blood-colored barrier rose.

The entire floor was sealed off.

Shattered glass hung in mid-air.

The wind stopped.

The blood mist stopped.

Even the screams of the seven hundred Awakened Ones were compressed into muffled sounds.

The old man's aura climbed steadily.

S-rank.

SS-rank.

And it was still climbing.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen finally stood straight.

The bloodstain under her ribs was dried by the wind.

There was no sign of a serious injury at all.

The Mirror Lin Yuan glanced at her.

"Your acting is mediocre."

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen said coldly, "You still have the mood to critique?"

The Mirror Lin Yuan said, "It's a habit."

The old man raised his hand.

The sky full of blood threads turned simultaneously.

"Mortal."

"Become the door for Goddess Amaterasu."

The blood threads descended.

Hundreds of them.

Thousands of them.

All of them pierced into the Mirror Lin Yuan's body.

No blood.

No bone cracking.

No heartbeat pause.

The Mirror Lin Yuan just lowered his head, looking at the blood threads on his chest.

The old man was stunned.

Then he laughed out loud.

"Scared silly?"

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen's pupils constricted.

Something was wrong.

This Lin Yuan had no scent.

No breath.

No blood.

She turned her head abruptly, looking at the stairwell.

The Pharmacist also understood.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed even harder.

"So that's how it is."

"Lin Yuan, you really aren't a thing."

The Mirror Lin Yuan raised his eyes.

"Thank you."

The old man's face darkened.

In just that half-second.

The Pharmacist moved.

His chest split open.

A black crystal core squeezed out from his flesh.

S-rank crystal core.

That was what the capital gave him after they killed the so-called intelligent Zombie King.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen looked at the Pharmacist with a heavy expression.

The Pharmacist did not look at her.

He stared at the rotting sun behind the old man.

"In the previous life."

"I watched it rise from Shanghai."

"Seven days."

"The entire southeast line of the Dragon Kingdom was wiped out."

"The capital was burned to white earth."

"No matter how strong an Esper is, they cannot kill a god."

He coughed up blood.

"So in this life, I want it to get stuck in the door."

The old man's expression changed for the first time.

"You dare!"

The Pharmacist laughed.

"I have already killed seven hundred of my own people."

"Do you guess I dare or not?"

The black crystal core shattered.

Not an explosion.

It was a collapse.

The Pharmacist tore open his own mental sea, pressing all his remaining will into the blood thread matrix.

The golden-red light on the top floor paused.

The 1,700 sacrifice energies seemed to suddenly lose their signposts.

The next second.

They bit back.

The residual souls of the seven hundred Awakened Ones of the Dragon Kingdom.

The resentment of the one thousand Japanese Side ninjas.

All of them followed the matrix blood threads, gnawing at the Goddess Amaterasu manifestation inside the old man.

The halo of light behind the old man tilted violently.

The golden-red light exploded.

A beast-like roar came from his throat.

"Pharmacist!"

The Pharmacist's body began to wither.

Only his eyes were still bright.

"Grandmaster Ling Suzhen."

"Now."

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen stepped out.

Ancient martial arts energy exploded from beneath her feet.

This was the moment she had been waiting for.

The Pharmacist's original plan was very simple.

He would be the villain.

He would create the sacrifices.

He would make the Goddess Amaterasu manifestation get stuck halfway through.

Then Grandmaster Ling Suzhen would kill the elder and seize the Divine Light residue.

The Dragon Kingdom would have one more blade.

Goddess Amaterasu would have one less door.

But Lin Yuan came.

The plan was no longer under his control.

Just as Grandmaster Ling Suzhen was about to move, footsteps came from the entrance of the blood-colored barrier.

Not hurried.

Not heavy.

Yet it overwhelmed the entire altar.

Lin Yuan's true body walked into the top floor.

His black clothes were unstained by blood.

Qin Yumo followed behind him, her dual blades unsheathed, her red hair illuminated by the blood light.

The Mirror Lin Yuan in the blood threads dissipated into points of light.

The old man's eyes widened.

"You…"

Lin Yuan walked through the seven hundred Awakened Ones.

No pity.

He lowered his eyes, brushing his trouser seam.

"Are you done showing your trump cards?"

The Pharmacist looked at him, his cracked lips moving.

"Don't let it… enter the Dragon Kingdom…"

Lin Yuan stopped in the center of the altar.

"Don't tell me what to do."

The Pharmacist smiled.

His last breath dissipated.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, she had clenched her fists.

The old man roared, the rotting sun rising again.

"Mortal!"

"You think that relying on you—"

Lin Yuan pressed one hand to the ground.

[Absolute Zero] erupted.

Ice blue spread out from his palm.

First freezing the ground.

Then crawling up the steel beams.

Then it rolled back along the golden-red blood threads.

Crack.

The first blood thread shattered into ice shards.

Crack, crack, crack.

The second.

The third.

A dense sound of cracking echoed throughout the top floor.

Golden-red and ice-blue collided.

The blood-colored barrier was frozen with white frost.

The old man mobilized the 1,700 energies inside his body to counterattack.

But the mental poison thorns left by the Pharmacist were still there.

Every strand of power, just as it was about to converge, was torn open by a residual soul.

"Ah!"

The halo behind the old man began to flake off.

Whispers that did not belong to humans emanated from the rotting sun.

Lin Yuan walked closer step by step.

Qin Yumo guarded the rear, her blades blocking the fleeing blood threads.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen watched his back, for the first time not making a move to steal the combat opportunity.

Because it wasn't necessary.

This man was not here to coordinate.

Ice formed under the old man's feet.

His knees froze.

His waist and abdomen froze.

He was finally afraid.

"Goddess Amaterasu!"

"Please descend!"

"Please use me as the door—"

Lin Yuan raised his foot.

Stepping on his head.

Bang.

The old man's face smashed into the ice surface.

Lin Yuan just looked at him like that.

"Just relying on me, what can you do about it?"
