Chapter 176: Charles's Moment of Glory

After Vandy retrieved the miracle potion for Charles, she handed it to him and said, "Leader, they... they learned that entering the Abyss Depther means death, and they are all afraid and dare not go in again."

"Hmph, a bunch of hypocrites!"

"I have already executed them! But I dare not force them in again! If it's not voluntary, having them control the Abyss Depther will be very dangerous!"

Vandy suddenly knelt on one knee, pounded her chest with her fist, and said to Charles, "Leader. As your follower, I will deal with Jing Yuan! Keep this bottle of potion; if I fail, this is your last chance! If you succeed, you will be the true lord of light and shadow!"

Charles looked at the miracle potion. He didn't dare to use it because it was a potion whose effects had not been verified.

But if it came down to a dead end, not using it meant death, while using it offered a glimmer of hope.

Only when it came to that point would Charles use the miracle potion.

Currently, Charles watched as Jing Yuan completely suppressed the Abyss Depther, and inside this Abyss Depther was Vandy.

Time passed minute by minute.

Jing Yuan's war blade clanged against the Abyss Depther, and although it couldn't break through the armor's defense, it still left Vandy breathless!

Charles hesitated. If he didn't use it now, there would be no chance later.

"Ah!"

Jing Yuan raised his war blade and struck fiercely, sending the Abyss Depther flying.

With this strike, he disdained to use any technique; it was purely a blow of rage.

The Abyss Depther was knocked back but also caught Jing Yuan's opening.

The Abyss Depther reached out and grabbed, its five fingers forming a claw, leaving deep marks on Jing Yuan's armor.

But Jing Yuan could feel that the Abyss Depther's attack had weakened.

Jing Yuan quickly retreated, flashed behind the Abyss Depther, and slashed with his blade.

It was unclear if the Abyss Depther was too exhausted to defend or confident in its defense.

This blade struck solidly on the Abyss Depther's back, and Vandy let out a painful cry.

"There's no hope!" Charles muttered.

Charles closed his eyes and directly inserted the syringe into his chest.

The potion flowed through the syringe into Charles's body, and then, accompanied by blood, flowed throughout his entire body!

As the potion entered his body, Charles let out a cry of pain.

He endured the pain, not wanting to make a sound, not wanting Jing Yuan to notice anything unusual on his side.

The intense pain almost caused Charles to fall into a coma.

"Child, didn't I tell you to wait?"

A voice came from deep within Charles's mind.

"Why are you doing this?"

"For myself! Because I! Am the chosen one, selected by heaven to save humanity!"

"You are indeed the chosen one, to have generated such powerful Willpower! Never mind, I will use my ability to help you this once!"

A powerful energy enveloped Charles.

He actually began to awaken!

On the other side, Jing Yuan's continuous attacks had slowed down the Abyss Depther's attacks.

In the end, the Abyss Depther even collapsed to the ground.

The Abyss Depther's back armor opened, and a withered old man crawled out.

From the old man's figure and posture, it seemed to be a woman!

Jing Yuan couldn't tell who this woman was at all!

Among those around Charles who would willingly die for him, there were only Vandy and Fan Lü, right?

So, was this woman Vandy? Or Fan Lü?

Just as Jing Yuan was still guessing, Fan Lü walked out, pointing a gun at Jing Nan's head.

"Fan Lü?" Jing Yuan looked at the woman with a cute face but a cruel heart.

"Jing Yuan..."

"Don't speak!" Fan Lü immediately stopped Jing Nan from speaking.

Jing Yuan pointed at the Abyss Depther nearby and said, "Even the Abyss Depther has failed, what other tricks do you have?"

"Hmph!" Fan Lü said, "To die with you!"

"You can't die with me! You don't have that ability!"

Fan Lü held Jing Nan and kept retreating, while Jing Yuan pressed closer step by step.

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Fan Lü, let go of Jing Nan, and I promise to spare your lives and Charles's!"

"Oh? Even today, you still think of sparing our lives!" Fan Lü sneered. Was he stupid? Or did he think they were stupid?

"Of course! If I can spare you once, I can spare you twice, thrice! Someone with a saintly heart like me! No matter what you've done, I will forgive you!"

"I don't need your forgiveness! But... you need... the lord of light and shadow's punishment!"

At this moment, Fan Lü and Jing Nan had reached the edge of the platform.

After saying this, Fan Lü directly took Jing Nan and jumped off the platform.

Although the lighthouse was currently hovering at a low altitude, it was still three or four hundred meters from The Surface. Falling would undoubtedly mean death.

Jing Yuan didn't hesitate, leaping after them.

The moment Fan Lü jumped, Jing Nan struggled free.

Jing Yuan caught up from behind and hugged Jing Nan.

As Fan Lü fell, she even turned over and fired several shots at Jing Yuan.

But how could Jing Yuan care about a few mere bullets?

Although he knew Fan Lü would surely die if she fell, Jing Yuan still didn't intend to spare her.

The bullets Fan Lü fired were controlled by Jing Yuan's psychic power, directly bouncing back and hitting Fan Lü in the center of her forehead.

In her dying moments, Fan Lü murmured, "Leader, has finally become the lord of light and shadow!"

Jing Yuan controlled the scale disk to his feet, stepping on it as he slowly flew back to the lighthouse.

But when Jing Yuan ascended to the height of the Outer Ring platform, he witnessed a shocking scene.

Charles had actually entered the Abyss Depther himself!

Jing Yuan reacted and immediately sent six flying daggers to kill Charles.

However, by this time, half of Charles's body had already entered the Abyss Depther.

Jing Yuan wanted to control the flying daggers to kill Charles from behind, but a strange scene occurred.

The flying daggers actually stopped in mid-air, hovering one meter away from the Abyss Depther.

Only when Charles's body completely entered the Abyss Depther could the flying daggers continue forward, landing on the lin yuan zhe armor with a clang.

The moment the Abyss Depther's back armor closed, the armor emitted a strange fluctuation.

At that moment, even Jing Yuan felt a tremor in his heart.

"It's rare for him to be willing to stake his life against me!"

Jing Yuan put Jing Nan down, said nothing, and walked directly towards Charles.

Even the lin yuan zhe armor, what did he have to fear?

The same armor would have different effects when worn by different people.

Charles's own combat power was not even as good as Vandy's; for him to wear the armor would only add another three minutes.

Jing Yuan recalled his war blade to his hand, directly infused source energy into it, and prepared to strike!

"Die!"

Jing Yuan rushed over, his figure blurring.

The war blade chopped down vertically, directly aiming for Charles's forehead.

However, Charles neither dodged nor avoided.

He raised one hand and steadily caught the war blade!

"What!"

Jing Yuan was greatly shocked!

How could he catch a bare blade with his bare hands!

Charles, he was clearly an ordinary person, and his strength after putting on the armor shouldn't be stronger than Vandy's.
