Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 404: Chapter 192 Champion? _2

This had been a point that fascinated her, making him different from many others.

Now, however, it left her somewhat helpless; how wonderful it would be if he could trust her unconditionally, like Gretwin did.

”It seems, negotiations have broken down... but how could you ever hurt me? Would you really bring yourself to strike me?”

All beings affected by her curse were unwilling to harm her. Even with Ma Hongyi’s unusual anger, he absolutely would not lay a hand on her. Because he still loved her, that was why Mei Wu was unafraid to attempt assassination.

The six angels that were killed, it was less about protecting Mei Wu and more about protecting Gretwin.

But a killing machine has no emotions!

To personally atone for his mistakes, Ma Hongyi would give up everything!

The Red Gold Treasure Sword was drawn from its sheath in Hongyi’s hand.

In an instant, a mad killing intent spread, and as the treasure sword was drawn, Ma Hongyi’s rationality evaporated in an instant.

To kill Mei Wu, whom he deeply loved, he used a dangerous Taboo Item, the Mad Battle Sword!

Level C Taboo Item, the Mad Battle Sword.

A Taboo Item personally contained by Hongyi.

To keep it a secret, even the officials of Giant City barely knew of it.

Its effect was to enhance one’s own Spiritual Power Strength, bursting forth in an extremely short amount of time, exceeding peak battle power!

But the cost was, during the time he held the sword, all rationality would be abandoned, and his own life would be expended.

While it seemed to be a very powerful Taboo Item, because of the loss of rationality, during this time, Ma Hongyi would forget most of his skills, abandoning all strategies. He turned into a Berserker, relying solely on instincts to fight. It was hard to say whether he became stronger or weaker.

But... this was also the only way to evade Mei Wu’s curse!

He would lose his rationality and kill all the living beings he saw! Including Mei Wu!

Ma Hongyi’s Spiritual Energy boiled in an instant, and flaming red energy soared straight into the sky!

With his treasure sword swinging, Ma Hongyi transformed into a blood-red figure, and his treasure sword, containing horrifying Spiritual Power, slashed towards Mei Wu in an instant.

”Boom!”

A huge booming echoed throughout the entire Great Cathedral, nearly splitting half of the platform.

But Hongyi’s treasure sword was blocked.

Gretwin’s arms were entwined with golden thorns, which interwove to form a shield, stopping Hongyi’s heavy slashing blow.

Hongyi’s blood-red eyes looked towards the tall figure behind the thorns and let out a mad sneer.

His treasure sword slashed out frantically, creating sharp and beautiful yet deadly sword lights through the air.

And Gretwin was also swinging both fists; the golden thorns twisted and twined like dragons, stabbing like a long spear, slashing like a long blade, entwining like a whip.

The collision of thorns and treasure sword exploded, tearing apart the platform’s surface.

At the same time, thorns grew rapidly from beneath the ground; Gretwin was a powerful practitioner of the Divine Protection Path.

The instant the thorns grew, they could transform all thorns into weapons!

But the aura on Hongyi’s body surged even more violently, those thorns couldn’t bind his body or pierce his flesh.

”So that’s it!” said Gretwin coldly, ”You gave up rationality, just to strike Mei Wu. But you without rationality are no match for me!”

The golden thorns in his hands swirled into a semi-circle, the tip transformed into a snake’s head that bit onto Hongyi’s shoulder, ripping off a chunk of flesh, but the next instant, was blown away by the red flames.

Hongyi did not respond at all, his rationality had already vanished; only more violent slashes answered Gretwin’s words!

The mad slashing cut through a golden thorn and even directly chopped off Gretwin’s black horn. Black blood dripped from the break.

”Damn it!” Gretwin cursed softly.

Although he had abandoned his rationality, Hongyi’s battle instinct was still terrifying, and his Spiritual Energy was recklessly unleashed.

A completely suicidal fighting style, even an experienced warrior like Gretwin found him troublesome.

Facing such an opponent, a slight careless move could likely result in being killed.

”Mei Wu, don’t hesitate anymore, since he’s rejected you, just kill him!” Gretwin roared. In the time of a sentence, he had already exchanged nearly a hundred blows with Hongyi. Both of them were injured.

Gretwin, raging, acted out; countless thorns grew from all around, gathering into a giant dragon, which bit at Hongyi.

Hongyi responded with an even more terrifying madness, his treasure sword shining brightly as it cleaved through the thorn dragon.

This caused the whole Great Cathedral to start shaking precariously.

”Damn, damn, damn! Why hasn’t Chi Lie returned!” Gretwin cursed inwardly about the Four-Winged Angel who had just left.

If the Four-Winged Angel were here, he might be able to subdue Hongyi.

”There’s such a commotion here, has Chi Lie gone blind? Why isn’t he coming back!”

Gretwin, of course, didn’t know that when Chi Lie sensed something was wrong and was preparing to come back for support, he directly encountered the Little Mad King!

Mei Wu, watching the battling duo, hesitated for a moment before drawing out the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear from the Soul Well.

Originally, it was a gift for a certain Overlord of the Forbidden Zone, but now it was still in her hands.

Looking at the long spear in hand, Mei Wu sighed a bit, her combat skills were still taught by Hongyi. The person she loved the most...

”Don’t kill him, I will say...” Before Mei Wu could finish, her pupils constricted.

At the same time, several sharp sounds of whistling wind abruptly arose, merging into one. It seemed as though the air was mercilessly torn apart.

That was the trajectory of throwing spears. They drew a cold arc in midair, converging towards one target.

Mei Wu’s heart trembled intensely. Was this the second assassin? A companion of Hongyi?

To evade the pursuit of the curse, they initiated this deadly long-range attack from afar!

Five throwing spears, each one whistling from different angles, like five venomous snakes, hissing venomously and lethally.

Clearly, the opponent was a master at throwing, calculating precise angles. Each throwing spear had a different angle and trajectory, but their target was the same!

The sequential release of the five throwing spears almost simultaneously hit the ground!

His target was only one, Mei Wu!

”There’s another expert!”

However, Mei Wu was no ordinary person.

She was once a member of Ye Boshou, an elite Processor of the Spiritual Eyes Path. Her gunmanship had also been personally taught by Hongyi.

Now, wielding the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear, her combat power was only stronger!

Her movements were smooth and swift. With her hands twisting, the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear danced like a dragon and snake, the air booming under the tip of her spear, as if the sound of a dragon’s chant echoed within.

Instantly swatting away the first and second throwing spears.

Then, with a flick of the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear, she deflected the third and fourth throwing spears.

Finally, with a fierce Back Horse Spear, she accurately stabbed toward the fifth throwing spear that targeted her back.

But her expression subtly changed. The strength! Each throwing spear was stronger than the previous!

The fifth one’s power even made her feel threatened.

”A Powerful Continuous Attack?” Mei Wu grew wary, naturally familiar with this ability as a member of Ye Boshou.

If there were a continuous attack, the power would only increase!

Sure enough, another throwing spear shot out from the ruins of the high platform.

But Mei Wu’s eyes subtly flashed, her beautiful eyes turning to snow white as her gaze locked onto the throwing spear.

In an instant, the spear seemed to encounter tremendous resistance, quickly losing all its power and helplessly falling from mid-air.

Spiritual Eyes Path, Dust-free Eyes!

The gaze-locking compresses the air powerfully, giving great resistance to long-range attacks and could also slow down the enemy’s movements in close combat.

Mei Wu looked at the figure hiding in the shadows of the ruins and said coldly, ”What a pity, my friend. Moreover, you are too close!”

The pity, naturally, referred to the failure of the ambush.

And being too close meant that the opponent had already been affected by the curse. He would fall in love with her and could no longer attack her.

However, bizarrely.

The sky darkened at that moment. A sudden black cloud appeared overhead, blocking out light and heat.

Meanwhile, the figure stepped out from the shadows.

He was clad in Ming Guang Armor, holding a long spear, and carrying throwing spears on his back.

This scene made Mei Wu and Gretwin’s heart tremble. A sense of endless fear blossomed in their hearts!

Gretwin’s voice, filled with fright, echoed in the Void Realm.

”Champion?”

Upon hearing this, numerous Forbidden Zone Creatures in Silver Mountain City felt a chill run down their spines!

Their terrified voices echoed in the Void Realm, spreading farther and farther.

Hundreds of kilometers away, Yang Chen wore a puzzled face.

Hmm?
