Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Wasteland Section (38)_1 Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Wasteland Section (38)_1 “What are you thinking about? You can’t afford to be distracted now!”
With a mocking voice, Fu Qian’s steps lightly shifted, dodging a milky white beam of light that descended from the sky.
The beam struck the feathers beneath his feet, eroding away a deep pit along with the stone slabs underneath. It also scorched a large area around the pit.
If he remembered correctly, that mummified corpse had launched a similar attack before in an attempt to stop him from killing.
And at this very moment, the light beam came from Ji Yicheng, who had returned as the Dragon King.
His wings spread behind him, now even whiter than before; every inch of skin gleamed, quickly focusing another beam of light—of course, still easily dodged by Fu Qian.
But now, Angel Ji kept rising, his head almost touching the ceiling. Combined with the constantly gathering beams of light, the effect was quite like that of an orbital cannon.
With just a little attention, he was in an invincible position.
“So it is.”
He casually shot out two more beams, Ji Yicheng not even bothering to look at the outcome, his face showing ecstasy as he caressed his wings.
“That locked-up corpse was a real angel.”
“Wings without feathers are the purest form.”
“Actually, when I tried to control her, I felt it vaguely.”
“What a pity, a bunch of idiots with malfunctioning brains locked her up as something evil.”
“You can communicate with her?”
Fu Qian suddenly became interested and asked thoughtfully.
“Not exactly communication, since she is in a state of absolute death.”
“But even just the shell of an angel still holds mysteries beyond your imagination.”
“I can exert a slight influence through some similar traits, that’s all.”
“I see, I understand now.”
Fu Qian nodded seriously.
“You’re an interesting opponent. It’s true that people need pressure to grow.”
Ji Yicheng’s voice was filled with laughter.
“Compared to you, both Angui and those two idiots, the Sirens, fall far behind.”
“Thank you for the recognition.”
“No need to thank me, because it’s time for me to pay you back.”
As Ji Yicheng’s voice grew murderous, strange sounds emerged, and Fu Qian discovered that the entrance was now blocked by countless tendrils.
“The exit is sealed, and I can assure you, there’s no other way out.”
“I will enjoy what comes next, and I hope you will too.”
“Or maybe you can organize your thoughts and think of something you might tell me.”
This person even remembered the threat Fu Qian had once made to him.
“No need for your reminder, I’ve been thinking all along.”
Seeing Ji Yicheng so smug, Fu Qian made his move. He no longer stood in place as a living target but went straight for the passage behind the mirror.
Although he understood the other’s feelings, he had more important things to do.
Finding out what was unusual here was the only meaningful thing at the moment.
“Once you’re at a disadvantage, all you do is run, huh?”
Ji Yicheng’s voice followed him.
“If that’s all you’ve got, it’s truly disappointing!”
“You wouldn’t be so foolish as to think you know this place better than I do, would you?”
“That’s hard to say.”
Fu Qian shouted without looking back, dodging the bombardment from above as he stepped into the corridor.
“So you’re a demigod after all.”
His performance confirmed Ji Yicheng’s previous guess.
“If we were outside, I might really have no way to handle you.”
“Too bad this is my home ground!”
The corridor was narrow, preventing aerial bombardment. Ji Yicheng simply landed and fired two beams in succession.
“I am omnipresent!”
Seeing Fu Qian once again narrowly dodged, he snorted, and his body actually began to slowly dissipate.
When he reappeared, he was already above another hall.
After his rebirth, he formed a magical connection with these ruins, not only able to lock onto targets outside of his field of vision, but even able to teleport short distances because of this.
However, what surprised Ji Yicheng was that the old path Fu Qian chose to flee toward was actually one filled with sewage— that large hall.
At this moment, Fu Qian was already standing on the beam, with the room where the dried corpse was located right behind him.
“What are you trying to do?”
Continuing to walk backward would be a complete dead end, and dodging on the crossbeam would be much harder.
Given this guy’s previous performance, Ji Yicheng didn’t believe he would be foolish enough to trap himself in such a situation willingly.
Smug but not to the point of carelessness, worried that the other might have some hidden cards, Ji Yicheng didn’t rush to pursue.
“Based on your suggestion, I gave it some good thought, and finally remembered this is a nice spot, perfect for sending you off once again.”
Fu Qian even removed his mask, his face decorated with a particularly annoying smile.
“What’s the matter, you don’t dare to come over?”
Hmph!
Such a simple goading tactic, naturally, Ji Yicheng wouldn’t fall for it.
After cautiously observing the surroundings, two more beams of light were fired off.
To everyone’s surprise, this time Fu Qian didn’t dodge but swung his right hand, blasting apart dozens of tentacles.
Like a living shield, layers of tentacles blocked in front of him, taking the two beams of light.
[SAN Points reduced by 5]
[SAN Points reduced by 5]
The prompts rang out consecutively.
Indeed, SAN Points had dropped.
Fu Qian wasn’t surprised by this, a single feather had previously reduced his SAN Points, so taking 5 points off for a direct hit wasn’t exaggerated.
At the same time, it verified something—that the person who left the demigod Kelson with nothing wasn’t Ji Yicheng.
His efficiency in purifying corruption wasn’t that high.
There must be something else within the ruins.
The entity capable of making a demigod lay down the slaughter, that was his real potential threat.
After all, if he encountered something similar, things would only get worse.
Unlike Kelson, his existence in the mission was based on SAN Points.
And that thing could potentially cleanse a demigod’s shadow of corruption in one strike.
If it were him with depleted SAN Points, it would mean a true instantaneous kill.
Across dimensions at that.
So what he needed to do now was assume, and find such an entity.
“Didn’t expect that.”
At this moment, seeing the squirming tentacles, Ji Yicheng was also startled.
“So you still have this kind of hidden card.”
“You were trying to lure me close, hoping to trap me with the short distance? A really good idea.”
“Too bad I won’t give you a chance.”
“Is that so?”
Fu Qian showed no sign of dismay at being seen through, and in the next moment, the tentacles retracted, his fingers aimed, and three Air Bullets whistled out.
“Interesting move.”
Ji Yicheng’s cumbersome body displayed amazing agility, silently gliding a distance before easily dodging Fu Qian’s attack.
“But for now, long-range attacks are my forte.”
As he spoke, two more beams of light assaulted him, and Fu Qian repeated his trick, the tentacle shield once again in front of him.
However, at this moment, a dried corpse appeared at the other end of the beam and opened its mouth to emit a beam of light similar to the others.
