66: Dead end! ?

Blood Skyhawk carefully pondered the words, his mind replaying them over and over.

He mused to himself, “As long as the wish isn’t too big, the side effects should also be small.”

But then the question arose—should he use it or not?

He looked down at his severed arm, then swept his gaze over his entire body, which was covered in wounds.

Looking at his other three teammates, only Su Yun was in a slightly better state.

Another was still unconscious.

The other, though awake, still maintained the appearance of Stone Wolf, his body covered in dense cracks, and it was unknown when he would recover.

Given their current situation, if they tried to decipher the Evil Spirits’ rules on their own, they would probably die here before finding a way.

Thinking of this, Blood Skyhawk decided to try making a wish.

However, just as he was about to make a wish, he felt that something was not quite right.

But the situation was critical; if they didn’t rely on the power of the destiny coin, the possibility of surviving was minuscule.

Of course, because Su Yun had previously mentioned the potential side effects of making a wish, Blood Skyhawk decided that this wish must be as simple and small as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Blood Skyhawk clenched the destiny coin tightly in his hand.

He closed his eyes and whispered,

“I wish to see the Critical Point closest to me.”

Blood Skyhawk didn’t directly wish to leave, but instead chose to see the Critical Point.

Because for him, seeing the Critical Point meant he could directly use the Scarlet Lord’s energy sphere to escape smoothly.

This way, the wish would be both the most effective and the safest.

After all, merely “seeing” it shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

As the thought flashed, Blood Skyhawk tossed the coin high into the air.

However, the moment the coin flew into the air, he suddenly felt a strange sense of mental disorientation, as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn’t recall what it was.

The coin traced a dazzling golden arc in the air, and as it flipped, the faces of the maiden on both sides alternated.

“Ding—”

The crisp sound of it landing was particularly jarring in the silent mist.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the spinning coin on the ground.

Finally, the coin stopped, landing tail-up—the maiden representing evil was watching them with a smile.

...

High above, a figure appeared.

This person was Watanabe Ichiro.

“Watanabe Ichiro, you coward! You weakling! I...”

As Watanabe Ichiro appeared, half of his face began to incessantly hurl insults.

Watanabe Ichiro, however, paid no attention.

He had merely been passing by when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from below.

This immediately reminded him of something—there was still a fellow here who had once killed one of his clones.

Although he was not in good condition now, dealing with an ant of Haoyue Class was more than enough.

Killing the opponent wouldJust right help stabilize his state of mind and allow him to better control his body.

...

“Is…is this a success?” An Changyang asked cautiously.

Blood Skyhawk frowned tightly and turned to look at Su Yun.

However, before Su Yun could speak, a voice came over.

“That…Crow’s Mouth said so much just now, are you sure it didn’t trigger anything?”

It turned out that Fang Zhiqiang, who had just woken up, had heard Su Yun’s words and struggled to wake from his coma.

Now that his body could move, he couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Blood Skyhawk suddenly remembered something—Su Yun had indeed said a lot just now, including “the interlude shouldn’t be too big.”

As for whether there was anything else, Blood Skyhawk was a bit unsure.

But what if those words really came true?

Then...

Without the slightest hesitation, Blood Skyhawk pulled out all his energy spheres:

He kept one for himself, gave one to Su Yun, and the last one to An Changyang.

“Stone Wolf, when the Critical Point appears later, don’t hesitate; use your energy sphere to open it directly.”

“Crow’s Mouth, if something unexpected happens after the Critical Point opens, or if the Critical Point is below disaster level and isn’t opened, then you use yours again.”

“If the Critical Point is already open, save it until I’ve used mine.”

“If it’s Doomsday-level, don’t hesitate; take the energy sphere and run.”

Speaking of this, Blood Skyhawk paused.

He originally wanted Crow’s Mouth not to speak, but then he thought of the time the cannon backfired...

“Oh, right, Crow’s Mouth, from now on, you can say whatever you want,” Blood Skyhawk finally changed his mind.

Rather than forcing this guy to shut up, it’s better to let him speak freely; after all, what’s done is done.

Perhaps they could even find a glimmer of hope.

As for the energy spheres, Blood Skyhawk’s own must be kept for adapting to changes;

An Changyang’s would be used to break through the Critical Point, and Su Yun’s...

Just consider it insurance.

Just then, Blood Skyhawk looked down and saw the destiny coin on the ground again.

He picked it up without hesitation, intending to hand it to Su Yun...

Boom!

The surroundings suddenly trembled violently, and the pervasive white mist began to rapidly dissipate.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure instantly descended, directly suppressing the three of them, making them unable to move.

Blood Skyhawk’s hand froze in mid-air, the coin on his fingertip trembling slightly.

He raised his eyes, only to see the mist receding like a tide, revealing a dim sky.

And above the sky, a familiar figure was coldly looking down at them—

Watanabe Ichiro.

One half of his face was ferocious, the other calm, his gaze sharp as a knife, making it hard to breathe.

Blood Skyhawk felt his throat tighten, and even breathing became difficult.

The pressure of a Doomsday-level expert was like a collapsing mountain, making his bones creak.

The next second, his body seemed to be frozen, completely unable to move.

What was worse, even with the energy sphere in his hand, he was completely unable to activate it.

This wasn’t the most terrifying part—they had already been in place for over three seconds!

Moreover, at the very front of where the white mist dissipated, a dark figure also appeared.

Blood Skyhawk’s heart sank, and he immediately understood the situation before him.

He felt the sword qi left by the Sword Saint in his body stirring, and immediately realized:

This person is the Sword Saint, and he is here to take revenge for the killing of that clone.

And the process of this destiny coin was to attract this Sword Saint?

After all, although this Evil Spirits had decent strength, it had no chance against the Sword Saint.

Once the Sword Saint acted, the Evil Spirits would undoubtedly be defeated, and the hidden Critical Point would also appear.

So, this is the purpose of the destiny coin?

“Holy crap!”

Blood Skyhawk couldn’t help but curse in his heart, “This is too absurd, isn’t it?”

The same shock was also written on the faces of An Changyang and the newly awakened Fang Zhiqiang.

The three men’s gazes uniformly fixed on the dark figure in front, their heartbeats accelerating, the atmosphere tense to the extreme.

At the same time, after they stared at the front for more than three seconds.

The dark figure in front revealed its form. The dark figure slowly materialized, turning out to be a bizarre humanoid figure wrapped in black chains.

Its face had no features, only a constantly writhing, gaping maw, and the chains made a grating sound as it moved.

And Watanabe Ichiro, who was standing in the sky at this moment, did not immediately make a move.

Instead, he watched the scene with interest, in a condescending manner.

For Watanabe Ichiro, killing them with a single sword would be too easy.

The appearance of this Evil Spirits told him that this fellow enjoyed torture and sadistic killing.

Since that was the case, why not let it play a little longer?

It would be much better than him striking with a single sword, leaving them no time to even feel pain, wouldn’t it?

At the same time, Blood Skyhawk felt a triple crisis: on one hand, because he had violated the rules, a greatly strengthened Evil Spirits was rushing towards him;

On the other hand, if he continued to stay in place for more than six seconds, he would also be erased by the rules.

Even without looking back, he could clearly sense a black figure appearing behind him—this was clearly another threat triggered by the rules.

There was also the Sword Saint, who was watching from the sky like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Blood Skyhawk muttered to himself, “Even Crow’s Mouth couldn’t possibly affect three targets at once, could he?”

Unless the destiny coin was successfully handed to Su Yun, he really couldn’t think of any way out.

And the current situation seemed to have no glimmer of hope left...
