Chapter 599: Chapter 166: Smooth Sailing Part 3
As of now, the three Dice Bone Demon Gods are merely at Golden Core Level, incapable of mounting a defense.
They instantly became targets!
Zhang Hei’s Black Snake Spear swept ferociously, and with three dull thuds, all three Dice Bone Demon Gods were blasted apart!
Zhang Hei roared excitedly at the sky, feeling immensely relieved.
“Hurry and regroup with Big Brother,” urged Guan Hong.
Zhang Hei realized the urgency, immediately turned around, and followed Guan Hong back to Liu Er’s side.
Liu Er’s eyes were tightly closed, a large hole in his left chest, he was half-kneeling on the ground, propping himself up with one hand, unable to move, focusing all his energy on healing.
The soldiers by his side enveloped him in their ranks, firmly protecting him.
The Dice Bone Demon God inflicted casualties on dozens of men, but failed to break through the Battle Formation. With Guan and Zhang coming to reinforce, It had no choice but to retreat.
While healing Liu Er, Guan Hong and Zhang Hei also battled against the Dice Bone Demon God.
The Dice Bone Demon God quickly began to lose ground.
It launched a sneak attack, seizing the initiative, but not only failed to take down any one of Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning, but also had three of its avatars swept away.
As the battle dragged on, the Demon God grew increasingly passive.
Mengye Tiger struck, breaking one of its Phantasm Claws at the price of its own, and chopped one of the Dice Bone Demon Gods into two pieces.
Out of six Demon God forms, four were now lost.
The remaining with dots five and six, seeing the situation unfavorable, continuously retreated, standing shoulder to shoulder.
The Dice Bone Demon God with six dots extended a hand over a shoulder and absorbed dot five in an instant.
It then looked up to the heavens, its body bursting with a powerful suction force.
An invisible wave of air drew in the previously shattered bone powder and countless fragments of the bone dice, all absorbed back onto the body of six dots.
Thus, the avatars merged into one, restoring the true form of the Dice Bone Demon God.
The true form of It wasn’t much different from the avatars, just that Its skeletal exterior was now covered with a layer of translucent skin, thin as cicada wings.
At the same time, a necklace hung around its neck, which was strung together with smaller bone dice. Along with the swaying of the necklace, the dice rattled upon shaking, making a sound akin to that of shaking a dice cup.
“Heaven and earth, spirit and energy, the six harmonies converge to form the infinite.”
“Your gravest mistake is starting a battle within my dojo!”
The Dice Bone Demon God made a cacophony of noises, initially like six people speaking at once, but at the end, it blended into a single voice.
The next moment, heaven and earth transformed dramatically!
The generals and soldiers found themselves in a monochrome world, with flat terrain.
Above the head of each person, a Bone Dice floated in the air, its six sides representing the dark dots from one to six.
Some tried to strike at the Bone Dice, but to no avail.
“Don’t bother trying! The Dice Bone Demon God has brought out Its dojo, and these dice are the external manifestations of the Dao within the dojo.”
“We must defeat the Demon God to escape from here.”
Liu Er struggled to breathe; after urgent treatment, he caught his breath, propped up his wounded body, and informed the others of the information he had gathered.
“Then let’s blast apart this Dice Bone Demon God!” Zhang Hei roared furiously, taking the lead to charge.
The Dice Bone Demon God leaped backward.
When Zhang Hei attacked fiercely, the dice above his head suddenly spun, and after quickly coming to a stop, revealed four dots.
In the eye sockets of the Dice Bone Demon God, a pair of dice also spun, one showing a dot, and the other five dots.
One plus five equals six, six is greater than four.
The next moment, Zhang Hei’s speed inexplicably slowed, while the Dice Bone Demon God’s speed considerably increased. Such bizarre changes allowed the Dice Bone Demon God to easily evade Zhang Hei.
It even had the spare strength to circle around and attack Liu Er once more.
Guan Hong intercepted halfway.
Both sides clashed fiercely.
At the moment of the collision, the dice above Guan Hong’s head spun, showing five dots. Meanwhile, the dice in the eye sockets of the Dice Bone Demon God came to a stop, showing three dots and five dots.
Three plus five equals eight, eight is greater than five.
Consequently, Guan Hong’s offensive sharply fell, while the Dice Bone Demon God’s offensive rose considerably, easily suppressing Guan Hong and forcing him back.
Zhang Hei hurriedly came to the aid, clearly too late.
In his urgency, he shouted to Ning Zhuo, “Strategist, quickly support my brother!”
While Ning Zhuo cried out, “General Liu, hold on!”, he also summoned the Heavy Blood Ape·Dasheng, rushing to Liu Er’s aid.
Liu Er raised his sword with both hands, shielding his visage.
Military Art—Defending the Land!
The weapon proved highly effective, its deployment of Military Art was exceptionally swift, and combined with the might of the Iron Bucket Formation, Liu Er’s defense soared to some kind of extreme limit.
But in the next moment, the dice spinning above Liu Er’s head turned a round and landed on one dot.
The Dice Bone Demon God burst into laughter, the dice in its eye sockets rolling to show two dots and three dots.
A total of five dots, greater than one dot.
After Liu Er’s defense had skyrocketed, it immediately plummeted, while the Dice Bone Demon God’s defense soared in turn.
Martial Arts——Bone Claw.
Puchi!
With a pained cry, Liu Er was bisected at the waist.
“Aaaaah!” he cried out with an intense, unparalleled desire to survive.
He dropped his sword and supported himself with his hands, dragging his upper body backward in a frantic retreat.
His lower body remained in place, intestines spilling from the abdominal cavity and trailing behind him, an utterly wretched sight!
“Big brother!” Zhang Hei and Guan Hong, with eyes red with fury, charged toward the Dice Bone Demon God.
The Dice Bone Demon God was still only at Golden Core Level, but even with Guan and Zhang’s combined strength, they were still no match for the Demon God, who maintained the upper hand.
The dice were showing their power primarily! With every roll, Guan and Zhang were more often defeated than victorious, not only reducing their combat power but also causing serious synchronization issues in their cooperation.
Ning Zhuo finally arrived on the scene.
He launched a Spell towards the Dice Bone Demon God.
Above Ning Zhuo’s head, the dice spun rapidly, stopping abruptly——six dots!
The Dice Bone Demon God’s eyes spun wildly, the dice inside settling on two dots and three dots.
Two plus three makes five, five dots less than six dots.
Ning Zhuo’s spell grew much more powerful, forcing the Dice Bone Demon God to retreat.
Ning Zhuo attacked again, the dice above his head stopping——six dots.
The sum of the two dice held by the Dice Bone Demon God——four dots.
The Dice Bone Demon God was once again repelled by Ning Zhuo!
Ning Zhuo continued his assault, the dice settled on——six dots!
“How is it always six dots?!” The Dice Bone Demon God cried out in shock and rage.
And it rolled a one dot and three dots, making a total of four dots.
Ning Zhuo kept up the attack, and the Dice Bone Demon God continued to retreat.
Guan Hong and Zhang Hei were stunned: “How can our strategist keep rolling six dots every time?”
The Dice Bone Demon God felt like vomiting: “Is this my dojo, or yours?!”
“No, I can’t keep this up!”
The fighting spirit of the Dice Bone Demon God plummeted as it tried to retreat.
Liu Er shouted: “Block it quickly! According to the rules of the dojo, if it loses six times in a row, it will lose itself in the process!”
Upon hearing this, Guan and Zhang’s spirits surged, desperately intercepting it.
“No, don’t come any closer!” As Ning Zhuo lunged towards it, the Dice Bone Demon God lost the composure it once had and became utterly panicked.
Ning Zhuo——six dots.
The Dice Bone Demon God——four dots.
Ning Zhuo——six dots.
The Dice Bone Demon God——three dots.
Ning Zhuo——six dots!
The Dice Bone Demon God——two dots.
Ning Zhuo achieved six consecutive victories!
Thud.
The Dice Bone Demon God knelt on the ground, clutching its head and screaming, driven to the brink of madness: “How could I lose? How is it possible for me to lose?!”
Amidst its howling, it suddenly collapsed and transformed into a bracelet of six dice.
The bracelet flew towards Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo reached out, and the bracelet fitted itself onto his wrist.
Ning Zhuo, as if in a dream, suddenly acquired an exceptionally powerful Golden Core Combat Power.
The other officers and soldiers were all stupefied.
