Free Web NovelChapter 1575: Chapter 1575: Death Burst
Yang Yu’s voice was blocked by the dense fog, completely inaudible to Bai Jin where she was.
Bai Jin, Tico, and Li Yan also noticed the eerie nature of the fog.
Li Yan used telepathy to connect with Bai Jin and Tico nearby:
"The fog is mixed with dense magic power, making it hard for normal magic and sounds to pass through.
If the distance is too far, telepathy will also fail.
Don’t stray too far from each other!"
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, a strange whirlwind swept in, and a giant iron claw cut through the fog like a mountain splitter, trying to crush them to dust.
Lifting off on a book, Li Yan straightened his old body, his Dragon Eyes emitting a dazzling light, seeing everything within the fog clearly.
Countless small arrays formed around Li Yan, creating a solid defensive barrier.
The massive metallic dragon claw struck the barrier, sparking a yellow glow.
The strike was merely a feint, as the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne had already separated countless steel scales, transforming them into self-destructive baby dragons, launching suicide attacks like raindrops.
Li Yan interlocked his fingers, and the defensive barrier suddenly expanded.
The mechanical baby dragons slammed violently into the barrier, explosions resounding one after another.
"Follow my magic movements, first regroup with the others and get out of the fog, then think of a way to escape."
Li Yan’s stooped body emitted a beam of white light, transforming into a rope, flying towards Yang Yu and the others, becoming a "beacon."
Bai Jin and Tico hurried towards Yang Yu under the cover of Li Yan’s barrier.
The mechanical baby dragons’ target was not just Bai Jin and the others.
Several mechanical baby dragons screeched, diving towards Yang Yu.
Iyas supported the Holy Light Barrier while healing Lotcar.
The Holy Light Barrier was merely a stopgap. If they couldn’t find a way out of the fog, their situation would only worsen, eventually leading to total annihilation.
The visible range in the fog was very narrow.
Just a few meters apart, and one person would disappear from another’s sight.
Yang Yu’s reaction space was merely a few meters!
"There’s no other way, Lotcar, run!"
The Deceitful Emperor hid completely in the fog, unknown from where and when he would attack.
Moving in a direction might lead to an ambush by the Deceitful Emperor, but it’s better than sitting still waiting for death.
Without hesitation, Lotcar swung his strong limbs and ran forward with effort.
Yang Yu followed behind Lotcar, chopping down approaching mechanical baby dragons, safeguarding Lotcar.
In defense, Yang Yu deliberately exposed weaknesses multiple times, trying to focus the Demon King’s attacks back on himself.
Yet, the Deceitful Emperor remained unmoved.
Even in an environment advantageous to himself, the Deceitful Emperor did not confront Yang Yu directly anymore.
In the Deceitful Emperor’s view, these people who grew up with the Goddess’ Apostle were as dangerous as the Goddess’ Apostle himself.
At the time, the Deceitful Emperor let the Goddess’ Apostle’s companions leave, intending to deal with the Goddess’ Apostle more safely.
After dealing with the Goddess’ Apostle, his companions would pose no threat.
Now, two Goddess’ Apostles appeared, supporting each other, greatly increasing the difficulty of dealing with them.
Since that’s the case, let’s first reduce the Apostle’s followers!
Roaming through the fog, the Deceitful Emperor silently approached behind Lotcar, a black sword blade wrapped with unnoticed magic.
A few mechanical baby dragons pounced on Yang Yu, triggering explosive attacks.
Seizing the opportunity, the Deceitful Emperor stabbed forward without hesitation.
The pitch-black blade pierced through Lotcar’s front leg, the magic upon it exploded open, creating a large wound on Lotcar’s shoulder, and the gushing blood instantly dyed the surrounding fog red.
Lotcar lost control of one leg, almost stumbling to the ground.
Luckily, with experience, Lotcar relied on three legs to stabilize his posture.
The Deceitful Emperor’s attack wasn’t over.
As the saying goes, seize the king first, shoot the horse first.
If Lotcar could be dealt with, dealing with the immobile Iyas and Qiuye would be easy.
Harnessing the surrounding magic power, the Deceitful Emperor pointed at Lotcar’s wound, a white beam rapidly shot out.
Yang Yu arrived just in time, his shield shimmering with a strange flow, reflecting the Demon King’s white beam.
The Deceitful Emperor remained calm, part of his body turned into mist, easily dodging the reflected beam, once again concealing himself in the vast deceit fog, brewing a new attack.
The direction where the beam continued was precisely where Gao Yuanyi was located.
Turning his head to dodge the white beam, Gao Yuanyi lifted Laplace, and another green square lit up on Laplace’s interior.
The Ghost Clan had an extraordinary sense of perception, being able to sense their environment even in complete darkness.
Although he couldn’t know the range covered by the deceit fog, Gao Yuanyi could "see" much wider than Yang Yu and the others, also sensing the Demon King’s movements.
"Compared to me, he thinks they are more threatening?
Or is he just clearing the minions?
From their previous performance, they don’t seem like mere minions at all.
They are not afraid of the Demon King, coming to save that man shows they share an exceptional bond.
No choice.
Let me hold the Demon King off for a while!"
Gao Yuanyi murmured to himself, clenching his fists, his eyes flickering with golden light, activating the skill of the Divine Artifact Laplace:
"Death Burst!"
The Death Burst could inflict 1000% multiplied physical damage of the user’s strength to a single target.
Despite not being in battle for long, Gao Yuanyi had not stacked many layers of War Addict and Fierce Battle Spirit to greatly enhance his strength, but with the arrow on the string, there was no turning back.
Laplace let out a massive roar, lining up neat red squares on the entire mechanical arm.
The red squares flickered, forming a red directional arrow on the mechanical arm.
Gao Yuanyi’s entire mechanical arm was enveloped in a red glow, as if turning into a missile.
His form disappeared, leveraging the Ghost Shadow he split earlier, moving once more through the deceit fog.
With a thud, the giant mechanical arm didn’t hit the Demon King but slammed into the ground near him.
In an instant, the earth shook, a violent red shock wave released from the contact point between the mechanical arm and the ground.
The red shock wave blew away the strange fog, exposing everything completely.
Bai Jin and Tico saw the injured Lotcar, as Gao Yuanyi’s Death Burst also blew away the incoming mechanical baby dragons, Bai Jin and the others no longer needed to dodge carefully, and sped up towards Yang Yu and the others.
The retreating fog also exposed the Demon King hiding within.
Gao Yuanyi didn’t hesitate, pulling his fist from the ground, striking once more at the Deceitful Emperor.
Unexpectedly, iron plates suddenly sprouted from the ground, wrapping the Deceitful Emperor tightly.
Gao Yuanyi’s fist only hit the hard iron plate.
