Free Web NovelThere were many people inside Jingwei’s Shadow Space. Though they couldn't appear on the battlefield to assist Zhang Yi and Hua Hua, they were all waiting for the moment to play their parts.
Zhou Ke'er immediately took out her equipment to study the organizational structure of the Sword in the Tree. With Lu Keran's help, she quickly analyzed the results.
"The human cellular structure has completely disappeared, leaving less than five percent of animal cell characteristics. It even developed cell walls and chloroplasts. It has almost entirely transformed into plant tissue!"
Zhang Yi watched Lancelot furiously attack his Dimensional Gate while thinking over how to fight him.
But his gaze was fixed on the Sword in the Tree held in Lancelot's right hand.
He couldn't find a weakness in Lancelot's true body for the time being.
Lancelot's abilities were comprehensive, balanced between offense and defense.
So Zhang Yi could only attack through his two auxiliary superhumans.
Bors, fully transformed into the Sword in the Tree, extended trees from his body that clearly lacked pain nerves, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Zhang Yi and Hua Hua to damage him so freely.
In this state he probably retained only a fraction of his self-awareness, while most of his body had been converted into plant matter.
That meant, unless Zhang Yi could smash the true body in Lancelot's hand, he could not kill Bors.
"Maybe there's one way to try!"
Zhang Yi and Hua Hua continued to entangle with Lancelot, probing for weaknesses while seeking a breakthrough. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
After confirming Bors's information, a bold idea surfaced in Zhang Yi's mind.
He took a deep breath and first spoke to Hua Hua, "Hua Hua, team up with me, use your maximum power to strike the guy in front of us!"
Lancelot could hear that line of dialogue too, which meant Zhang Yi had no intention of hiding his plan from him.
Lancelot raised an eyebrow. Even if this man and cat used their strongest methods, they couldn't break his defenses.
But since they were doing this, it wouldn't be without purpose; they must have a follow-up move.
Lancelot instantly retreated far away. The emerald Sword in the Tree in his hand rapidly expanded, dozens of thick branches several meters wide stretching across between him and Zhang Yi and Hua Hua.
Zhang Yi expected him to defend, but that didn't matter.
He drew the Holy Judgment from its scabbard, and void power surged like a flood, slashing wildly in Lancelot's direction!
Hua Hua opened her big maw and pushed her breath power to the limit!
The combined assault of two Epsilons slammed hard into the layered trunks. Even Lancelot had to muster every ounce of effort to block such a blow!
At that moment, a beautiful girl in black combat suit slowly emerged from the shadow behind Zhang Yi.
Yang Xinxin stood beside Zhang Yi. She lightly raised her right hand; the six-winged Desire Angel immediately drew its longbow, and a crimson feather turned into an arrow, shooting forward!
"Be loyal to me. Do not harm me or my brother."
The second arrow was black, a Hatred Arrow.
"Hate, loathe, betray, wound your current master!"
Yang Xinxin's sudden appearance gave Lancelot a bad premonition.
But he didn't fully understand Zhang Yi's abilities, and he had no intelligence at all on Mu Yan and Yang Xinxin.
The trees grew frantically, blocking the arrow's path. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Although he didn't know how powerful the arrow was, Lancelot was confident in the dual defenses of the Sword in the Tree and his Protective Shield.
However, the arrow simply drifted into the green trunk.
Zhang Yi watched Lancelot's right hand with some expectation.
"A huge, oversized true body is the best target for Xinxin's ability. It's just unclear whether an arrow hitting an extended branch will affect Bors's true body."
Before Zhang Yi could finish muttering, something changed the moment the tree was pierced by the arrow.
The thicket that had almost covered the entire palace began to retract with a rumbling sound.
Shock flashed across Lancelot's eyes.
He looked at Bors connected to his right hand, "Bors, what's wrong?"
Once the connection is established, the Sword in the Tree is controlled by the user's will.
But now he suddenly felt the connection to Bors break.
There were only two possibilities: either Bors had died, or Bors had actively reclaimed control of his body.
In the next instant, the Sword in the Tree on Lancelot's arm erupted. A towering tree shot up from Lancelot's arm, and countless wooden spikes stabbed fiercely at Lancelot's torso!
Lancelot hadn't expected a backlash from Bors. His body was riddled by the wooden spikes. If not for his Protective Shield activating at the crucial moment, he would have been pierced through by those wooden spears!
Even so, the vines grew wildly, attempting to wrap around Lancelot's body and strangle him to death!
"Bors, what are you doing!"
Lancelot ripped Bors off his arm and hurled him far away.
He quickly realized Bors's abnormality was related to the sudden appearance of Yang Xinxin.
He glared fiercely at Yang Xinxin, "A mind-controlling-type ability user?"
A strange smile crept across Yang Xinxin's mouth, "You aren't the only one who brought backup!"
Lancelot felt irritated. Losing the Sword in the Tree lowered his combat capacity.
But even so, he still had Agravain. Two against one, he could still fight.
Then what happened next made his heart sink.
He saw Bors slowly crawl toward Zhang Yi and then attach himself to Zhang Yi's arm.
Rule-based abilities are absolute.
Anyone struck by Yang Xinxin's arrow becomes her slave, obeying her commands.
So Yang Xinxin ordered Bors to assist Zhang Yi in attacking Lancelot.
Bors made the best choice: to become the sword in Zhang Yi's hand.
Zhang Yi did not refuse. He had witnessed Bors's ability—this plant-type power that can regenerate endlessly as long as it receives energy, extremely troublesome and balanced between offense and defense.
Vines tightly wrapped around Zhang Yi's body and began draining his superhuman energy.
At the same time, Zhang Yi's mind produced a strange sensation, as if another arm had grown, or as if his palm had sprouted many additional fingers.
He could control the Sword in the Tree at will.
"This feeling is pretty good!"
Zhang Yi took an energy supply snack from his Dimensional Space and shoved it into his mouth. The next moment he looked at Lancelot, whose face had darkened, and the vines on his right hand rapidly grew into a massive green longsword.
"Now, your sword is mine."
Zhang Yi raised his right hand; the Sword in the Tree pointed at Lancelot, and countless thorned vines violently lunged to stab him!
