591: Chapter 591 Hakimi's End

"Hehehe, you damn cat, you've finally fallen into my hands!"

After retrieving Room Sun Rabbit and shoving it into Xiao Sheng's arms, Zhou Yan flashed forward and lunged straight at Schrödinger.

This action terrified Xiao Sheng. Without time to think, or even look at what was in his arms, Xiao Sheng bolted away from the battlefield.

Although Xiao Sheng didn't know what was happening, he could tell that the coming battle would be brutal.

So, to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, Xiao Sheng decided it was best to run first.

"A mere Body Integration Stage dares to attack me?"

Schrödinger blocked Zhou Yan's elbow strike with one hand and instantly accepted the fact that Zhou Yan held a grudge against him.

Although he didn't know what kind of grudge they had, it was quite normal for people to hold grudges against him, so he wasn't surprised.

Just as Schrödinger was about to make his next move, his vision blurred. His intended punch froze, and he pulled back the fist that was about to land on the opponent's face.

In contrast, Zhou Yan's heavy and powerful strike landed on his face first.

"Law of Time?"

"Urgh!"

After landing the punch on Schrödinger, the panel popped up.

[Schrödinger]

[Realm: Body Integration Middle Stage]

[Abnormal Status: dao wound lv.3]

"As expected, I knew it!"

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up. He had sensed something wrong with Schrödinger's aura the moment he saw him, which was why he didn't immediately run away with Xiao Sheng. Now, seeing this, it was just as he thought.

"Die!"

"Arthur, what kind of opponent have you arranged for me!"

"Achoo."

Arthur rubbed his nose. He didn't need to guess who was badmouthing him behind his back, but now wasn't a good time for support. If the dignified Schrödinger died just like that, then it could only be said that he was unlucky.

Arthur hunched over the console, his hands moving non-stop as he operated it. Directly in front of him was the War Knight that had crashed.

"Whether this works or not depends on how well you two perform. I hope you won't disappoint me."

As Arthur slammed the button down, the War Knight suddenly lit up with a ray of red light. The light pierced through the wall and flowed rapidly in one direction.

Without a moment's delay, after finishing this, Arthur ran back to his office, choosing not to support Schrödinger.

Reaching the door, Arthur adjusted his attire and opened the door, pretending to be calm.

"You ant from the Lower Realm, you beast destined to be a slave for eternity, I..."

Hearing footsteps, the severed head of Kun Gou lying on the ground stopped cursing, though in his current position, he couldn't look toward Arthur.

Picking up the head from the floor, Arthur gently removed the wine glass embedded in Kun Gou's eye socket. Before Kun Gou could react, he casually stuck the wine glass onto the top of his head, helping Kun Gou cosplay as a unicorn.

This action earned another round of cursing from Kun Gou.

Arthur ignored him and simply sat in his chair, projecting the battle between Wang Yao and Long Tianxing.

"Don't misunderstand. I only pulled the glass out because I was afraid it would obstruct your vision and keep you from seeing clearly. Now you can take a look at what's happening."

On the screen, Wang Yao was surrounded by red mist. He held the celestial master sword, which was wreathed in thunder.

His opponent, Long Tianxing, brought out all his Magic Treasures. A wide variety of Magic Treasures constantly clashed with Wang Yao, but these attacks couldn't effectively stop him, and the battle situation became increasingly deadlocked.

"The aura of Bingjin, you... what have you done!"

Kun Gou didn't focus on the battle like Arthur. Although he had seen the two of them in Kaifeng, they were far less important to him than Zhou Yan.

But the aura currently wrapped around Wang Yao made his heart turn cold. Even though he was now just a head without a heart, he still felt a chilling sensation deep down.

Kun Gou became nervous, and Arthur's mind was put at ease. He curled his lips into an interested smile, watching the screen as he spoke.

"Lin Hui, Xin Lu, Kun Gou, Bingjin, Alias."

"The five of you brothers and sisters are quite close, aren't you?"

Kun Gou gritted his teeth. Since his head couldn't move, he could only try his best to shift his eyes toward Arthur, revealing a vicious glare.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Arthur was about to pick up his wine glass to take a sip, but remembering that the only glass had been crushed and stuck on Kun Gou's head, he changed his gesture and touched his brow instead.

"Ahem, what I mean is, you're under so much pressure, and you come out to stir up trouble from time to time—isn't that just to resurrect your brothers and sisters?"

Kun Gou snorted coldly.

"You guy, you don't still think you can use their resurrection as a bargaining chip, do you?"

"You aren't even willing to learn from your Seniors, building a mutually beneficial relationship with me while plotting schemes to backstab me."

Arthur tilted Kun Gou's head slightly, allowing him to see his profile.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Kun Gou, I think you've misunderstood."

"Resurrecting those few is just too crazy. Even our Truth Cult is only taking advantage of such opportunities to plot a few things."

"If we were really asked to resurrect one, we wouldn't be able to do it, would we?"

"I just want to say, I can't resurrect one, but if you don't agree to my request, soon you'll have a sister die right before your eyes."

"Bullshit, do you know what you're saying?"

Kun Gou wasn't threatened by Arthur's words; instead, he sneered.

"Your Old Ancestor, your Old Ancestor's Old Ancestor, and your Old Ancestor's Old Ancestor's Old Ancestor couldn't deal with us, who do you think you are!"

Arthur wasn't surprised by Kun Gou's reaction because even he himself had no confidence.

He was now facing the pressure from Zhou Yan and had to constantly face the wrath of those old monsters after the barrier collapsed. Right now, he could only bluff here while Schrödinger could still hold on.

However, Arthur kept a straight face, maintaining an expression of confident control, which actually made Kun Gou feel a bit unsure of himself.

Arthur looked at the projected image, praying for Schrödinger to hold on a little longer while hoping that Long Tianxing's Luck would be strong enough.

Arthur's plan was simple; he knew the practical upper limit of this clone body of Zhou Yan that had been designed.

If Zhou Yan had already awakened before, it meant the opponent was deliberately hiding his strength, so the rating would inevitably rise a bit more.

The strength he could exert was likely above the Body Integration Late Stage, which wasn't something he and Schrödinger, two injured people, could handle.

Not to mention anything else, there simply wasn't enough time for the battle.

Therefore, Arthur decisively sold out Schrödinger, intending to let him drag out the fight with Zhou Yan alone, while he personally operated the nearly scrapped War Knight to empower Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was indeed a good vessel. Although his compatibility with the War Knight was far less than Xiao Sheng's, it was sufficient.

As long as he operated behind the scenes to adjust the base's layout, gradually leading the battlefield to the War Knight's location, and letting the two complete the Fusion, one of the following two outcomes would occur.

One was that Wang Yao defeated Long Tianxing; he could then use the power of the War Knight to resolve everything and retreat quickly.

The second was that Long Tianxing's Luck was indeed very strong, and he would have a way to defeat the then-Wang Yao by relying on his Luck.

However, by then, his data collection would be complete, and he could escape on his own. Even if the opponent's Luck was terrifying enough to pull out something that truly threatened the Origin that made up the War Knight.

Then, he might be able to trick Kun Gou and get the information he wanted from his mouth, killing two birds with one stone.

The plan Arthur thought of on the fly could be said to be perfect, except for one loophole.

"Arthur, where the hell are you!"

Schrödinger looked at Zhou Yan in front of him, feeling incredibly powerless.

His Divine Ability could indeed help him see the possibilities of defeating Zhou Yan, but each of these possibilities was limited by his own strength.

In other words, he was completely unable to defeat this Body Integration Stage in front of him. This Heaven-Defying body structure was simply not a dao body from the current system.

Instead, it was more like those Immortal Artifacts he had seen before that had been empowered by immortal power.

It was one thing that its strength was high enough to withstand several of his Law of Qiankun attacks with its Physical Body, but its recovery ability was also shockingly strong, as if someone were continuously healing it.

Not only that, the opponent's Power of Law seemed endless. Clearly, under the scrutiny of his Divine Ability, the opponent's Law strength hadn't actually reached the Body Integration standard, just stuck at the Soul Transformation Stage.

But how could the quantity of Power of Law at the Soul Transformation Stage compare to his? Even if he was no longer a match for an ordinary Body Integration Stage after being severely injured, he should at least have more than a Soul Transformation, right?

Schrödinger looked at this guy who he couldn't kill instantly, had super-fast recovery, and even had more Power of Law than him, and an ominous premonition arose.

"Did Arthur defect? Have I become a stepping stone!"
