BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157: Predict! Complete Annihilation!
Chapter 157: Predict! Complete Annihilation!
Jiang Cheng had obtained these few strands of hair when he had collided with Link during that one strike earlier!
And with Link’s hair as the medium, Jiang Cheng could launch that strange ability once again!
Xue Linglong and the others paled upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words!
Link’s own countenance remained unchanged. His pair of pitch-black eyes were like two bottomless ancient wells—extremely deep.
Jiang Cheng rested the sharp scalpel against his own heart. A hint of relaxed, sure-win joy flashed across his face.
Once he made a thought and drew support from the [True Tarot] card’s power, the sharp scalpel would be able to mash Link’s heart completely!
Presently, he was no longer in a hurry to act. He watched Link’s face—covered by the [Mask of the Faceless]—with a smile, and it seemed as though he wanted to admire Link’s despair and fear.
“You monster! I really don’t know how you can be so strong. You’re only a Stage Four, yet you’re so troublesome! But everything is going to end now! I will kill you, obtain your equipment, and uncover your secrets. Then, I will use your body as research material for the organization. I believe the organization will definitely be very satisfied!”
“As for Black Dragon Gang’s Man-Made God.” Jiang Cheng looked at Luo Haoyue, and he said contemplatively, “The result is still pretty good; I will reclaim you as well. Such a keen weapon naturally has to be in our hands. And the others, by then, I can only send you on your way!”
A series of icy cold comments sounded in the laboratory. Xue Linglong and the others’ countenances became extremely somber.
“Oh yes, Link, why aren’t you begging for mercy? If you are willing to be my dog, perhaps I might spare your life!” Jiang Cheng laughed mockingly with a savage look.
Link paid no heed to him; only a fleeting gleam of killing intent seemed to flash through his eyes.
Both Xue Linglong and Luo Haoyue found it difficult to restrain themselves. Their delicate figures trembled, and both wanted to strike.
However, Holy Angel Yuna shook her head at them, motioning to the duo to calm down and hold on.
“Hehe, no fun at all; then, you shall go to hell!” Jiang Cheng seemed to have sensed something. No longer hesitating, he ruthlessly stabbed the scalpel in his hand toward his own heart!
It was also right then that gold light bloomed within Holy Angel Yuna’s eyes, making it look as though golden lava was flowing within. Filled with unparalleled majesty, three pairs of holy wings spread open, and holy light illuminated the world!
Streaks of brilliant gold light suddenly fell from above Link’s head. It was as if the space now had a big golden sun that shone with boundless radiance!
Under the shelter of the golden light, Link was like a god that had descended. He was majestic yet contemptuous!
This was Yuna’s skill, [Holy Light Beam]! It could bless allied units with holy light, which granted these blessed units three seconds of invincibility and immunity to all damage. The cooldown time was one minute!
Three seconds of invincibility and high explosive power!
Jiang Cheng’s scalpel brutally twisted into where his heart was. Such a violent maneuver was enough to mash up one’s entire heart! However, he abruptly turned wide-eyed in terror. This was because Jiang Cheng found that Link didn’t seem to have felt the slightest pain!
It seemed that he had not caused harm to Link’s body at all!
“How can this be?!” Jiang Cheng exclaimed; his heart was full of surprise and shock!
But Link would not let this brief opportunity slip. The [Ring of Teleportation] on his finger faintly glowed with a silver brilliance.
[Instant Teleport]—which had the effect of displacement—was launched!
In Jiang Cheng’s eyes—which had widened in terror—Link’s figure abruptly disappeared.
When Link appeared once more, he was already before Jiang Cheng!
Jiang Cheng was presently facing immense horror and disbelief, and he couldn’t react in time at all.
A blazing sword glow suddenly lit up and swiftly covered the world before Jiang Cheng’s eyes, turning everything else dull in comparison!
[Rage of the Holy Sword]! All attributes +10,000%, damage +10,000%!
This was a strike of unrivaled might and power; the searing sword intent filled the whole space!
The world before Jiang Cheng’s eyes began to spin, and his consciousness gradually faded out!
At this moment, it suddenly struck him that everything earlier had been a ruse that Link set up for him! It turned out that Link long had the method to counter his ability. Link merely waited for Jiang Cheng to use the ability so that he could be caught off-guard and completely lose his chance of survival!
His head was directly sliced off by Link. It flew up high, and the fresh blood at his neck was like a geyser. The blood flew up by at least a few feet!
Even if Jiang Cheng still had more strange tricks and hidden cards, he was dead now!
Within mere seconds, a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse had died!
As they watched everything that happened before their eyes, Xue Linglong, Zhao Yongkang, Luo Xinghe, and the others’ pupils constricted. Astonishment and absentmindedness were all over their faces!
Jiang Cheng had died just like that?
This Stage Five powerhouse, who made people’s scalps go numb, actually had his head chopped off within seconds?
The hearts of the few were filled with shock and agitation; they were in slight disbelief after seeing this scene before them.
Moments ago, they had been worried that Link would be at Jiang Cheng’s mercy and would encounter the expected. Now, they all let out a long sigh of relief!
Xue Linglong and the others were all clever people. Very quickly, they understood everything that Link had done earlier.
Link had probably allowed Jiang Cheng to take those strands of hair. It was to probe for more information on Jiang Cheng’s ability, and it was also a loophole that he intentionally sold out.
To strike resolutely when Jiang Cheng believed that victory was in his hands, completely smother all of the enemy’s hopes, and sever Jiang Cheng’s chances of using other strange abilities to achieve a kill in one blow—Jiang Cheng did not die an unjust death!
A hint of respect and surprise flashed through Xue Linglong and the others’ eyes. They increasingly felt that Link was fathomless!
Not only did Link have high combat prowess, but his battle achievements were also this outstanding. It virtually made his enemies despair!
Xue Linglong, Zhao Yongkang, and the others all felt grateful to be able to follow such a figure in the apocalyptic world!
“Lord, you are really impressive!” Luo Xinghe blurted out.
As she stared at Link’s back view, a glow swirled in Xue Linglong’s beautiful eyes; the splendid radiance was permanent.
Luo Haoyue—who was at the side—remained with an aloof countenance, but some hints of surprise seemed to flash through her eyes as well.
The three seconds of invincibility had long passed.
Since Jiang Cheng had died, the effect of [True Tarot] also disintegrated with him.
But this spell’s surviving influence still set off a sharp pain in Link’s chest. He felt as if his heart had been brutally struck!
Link’s brows furrowed slightly as he inwardly thought, This [True Tarot]’s effect is really nasty. Even my Body of Death isn’t immune to it; it probably involves a certain rule.
But even without [Holy Light Beam], Link might not necessarily die after his heart was crushed.
[Pathfinder]—the second passive of his title, [Fearless Pathfinder]—allowed him to automatically recover to 30% HP when his health dropped to zero for the first time.
It could be said that Link was more of a counter to that [True Tarot] card in Jiang Cheng’s hand.
Sweeping a glance at the disorderly ground, Link tugged at the corner of his lips. All of the enemies had been killed; it was now the harvest time, which he liked.
Jiang Cheng definitely had good stuff on him! Just that [True Tarot] card alone would’ve made this a worthwhile trip. Moreover, all of Doctor Ghost’s research results now belonged to Link!
On this day, Link killed two Star-rank powerhouse successively, and the Black Dragon Gang was completely annihilated!
