133: Chapter 133 Elf Race - Alice
After all, the beast tide this time... wasn't a fight to the death, but a probe by the four ancient races.
Call it a probe, it could also be said to be the key to determining whether or not to cooperate.
"Mm-hmm, fifty-fifty then!" Peppa also chimed in.
Mu Cheng's Devouring Bloodline was indeed powerful, but Angel Yutong's strength wasn't weak either. After all, she was an existence beyond the ninth rank.
Even just utilizing the peak of the seventh rank, it was still terrifyingly formidable!
"Then let's decide the outcome with one move!" Angel Yutong didn't hesitate in the slightest, making her decision very quickly.
The Angel Sword she wielded continuously condensed golden energy, and simultaneously, a massive phantom gradually appeared behind her.
Before long, the phantom was fully condensed—a six-winged angel, easily over ten meters tall.
Moreover, just the pressure radiating from it was enough to make the surrounding space continuously crack and then recover.
"Such terrifying power. Can Brother Cheng handle it?" Gu Na grew very worried.
She wished she could go help right now, but worry aside, she kept a clear head and didn't go cause trouble.
Su Qingyan watched and said uncertainly, "It's hard to say... as long as there's no life-threatening danger, it's fine."
Peppa: "I say, Sister Qingyan, you're underestimating the Devouring Bloodline. That kid will definitely win this fight!"
"Easier said than done. Just look at his current strength. If he had broken through to the eighth rank, it wouldn't be a problem at all." Su Qingyan still didn't think so.
However, from her words, one could still be quite certain and sure that the Devouring Bloodline was indeed outrageously strong.
"Just watch! Your Grandpa Peppa here guarantees with my pig life that kid will absolutely win!" Peppa said with full confidence.
But in reality, Mu Cheng was standing there dumbfounded. Faced with such a terrifying aura, he didn't know whether to attack or defend.
After a good while, Mu Cheng finally made up his mind. "One move to decide the outcome. It has to be this way."
He quickly released the Black Vine, transforming it into a wall for defense. This was the only option he had.
The enemy was powerful now; defense was the wisest choice.
"Break for me! Angel's Punishment." Angel Yutong raised the Angel Sword in her hand high.
In less than a few seconds, a massive golden energy sword condensed, its surface crackling with lightning as it shot towards Mu Cheng.
One could even clearly see the surrounding space continuously cracking and recovering.
BOOM—!!!
After the loud explosion, just as Peppa had said, Angel Yutong failed to break through Mu Cheng's defense.
"Scared the hell out of me." Mu Cheng finally let out a deep sigh of relief, becoming smug as he spoke.
"Hey! I say, Angel Sister, you have to keep your word, right? One move decides the outcome."
Hearing him call her 'sister' so affectionately, Su Qingyan covered her face, utterly speechless. "This... oh my heavens."
"Brother Cheng... is planning to back down? But it seems like it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Gu Na slowly asked.
In her heart, she was already gnashing her teeth in fury. If her eyes could kill at that moment, Angel Yutong would have died a thousand, ten thousand times...
"Don't celebrate too early. The four ancient races are allied. Probably... they'll make their move soon too." Peppa had everything firmly under control.
Sure enough, just as it said, suddenly a golden arrow shot towards Mu Cheng... Fortunately, his reaction speed was fast enough to dodge it.
"Sister, let me deal with him! You mustn't go back on your word like those humans."
Following the voice, a young girl from the Elf Race appeared on a pile of rubble not far away.
In her right hand, she held a golden bow. Barefoot without shoes, her skin was snow-white, and she wore a set of white ancient-style clothing.
Her long, golden hair was simply adorned with green leaves. Standing at 1.8 meters tall, if she were human, she would undoubtedly be considered a top-tier beauty.
"Then I'll leave it to you, little sister!" Angel Yutong casually grabbed Rudes and moved him to a spot not far away.
Hearing this, Mu Cheng instantly felt uncomfortable and asked,
"Wait, what the hell? Explain clearly before fighting. I've never gone back on my word."
"Is that so? But it seems like it has nothing to do with me, Alice. First, catch my one hundred and twenty-eight arrows." The elf girl, Alice, wasted no words, drawing the elf bow in her hand.
Instantly, two powerful golden energy arrows shot towards Mu Cheng at incredible speed, leaving clear spatial cracks in their wake.
No matter how fast they were, it was nothing to Mu Cheng. Releasing the Black Vine, he blocked them simply and effortlessly.
"This Alice, I remember... she's the future queen of the Elf Race, right?" Su Qingyan asked, not worried in the slightest.
Peppa answered, "Mm-hmm, she's the future ruler of the Elf Race... I'm worried there might be a variable."
"You all talk amongst yourselves... I just want to know, Brother Cheng should be able to handle it, right?" Gu Na timidly interjected with a question.
Peppa answered readily, "Of course he can. He's a man. Even if he can't, he has to."
"No need to worry about that, but the variable Little Piglet mentioned... we still have to guard against it." Su Qingyan also commented.
So what if she's the future ruler of the Elf Race? Her strength was also limited to the peak of the seventh rank. Wanting to deal with Mu Cheng who possesses the Devouring Bloodline?
That was pure wishful thinking, like smashing an egg against a rock with all your might. What else could it be but overestimating oneself?
"There's still the Blood Race that hasn't appeared... perhaps that's the variable. But right now, it seems this variable, hey yo, Grandpa Peppa's head hurts."
Peppa spoke... then suddenly stopped and started complaining.
"No matter what the variable is, at worst, I'll use divine power." Su Qingyan pondered for a good while before speaking.
Truthfully, she had no better plan. If this variable truly occurred, using divine power would be the only way to fight desperately.
"Mm-hmm, but unless it's absolutely necessary, you mustn't use it." Peppa also agreed, but still reminded her seriously.
Su Qingyan: "Don't worry! I'm not a three-year-old child. I understand such decisions."
On the other side, starting from blocking two arrows, Mu Cheng had now reached the point where Alice simultaneously shot eight arrows towards him.
As expected... indeed, no surprises. Mu Cheng still blocked them with extreme ease.
"Good lad, I have to admit, you truly have the potential. But wanting to gain the recognition of the four ancient races? That's still far from enough."
After saying this, Alice drew her elf bow again, shooting sixteen arrows simultaneously.
This attack was extremely fierce, to the point where the Black Vine almost couldn't hold up, but it was still a close call.
"How is that possible? It can actually shake that kid's defense?" Su Qingyan was instantly dumbfounded, not reacting for a moment.
Peppa saw through it at a glance. "It's the elf bow, the treasure of the Elf Race..."
"Wait, earlier Angel Yutong seemed to have used the Angel Sword too. Could this be the variable?" Su Qingyan suddenly realized.
