Chapter 327 Puppet
Inside the factory, Ye Qing was in no mood to answer him. He silently panted heavily. This strange man named Yunlong was incredibly strong; his strength was almost on par with the Bee-Snake Witch he had encountered.
"Boss, I'm here to help you!!"
Suddenly, all the machine noise in the factory disappeared, and even the sunlight streaming through the windows seemed to be blocked by something unknown. In an instant, the light in the entire factory dimmed.
The surrounding silence seemed to be magnified infinitely. The next moment, a flat blade suddenly slashed at Yunlong's shoulder, flashing a string of bright sparks in the factory.
Behind Yunlong, another strange creature appeared. It had no eyes, as if it were a patch of darkness in chaos. Its lower body was a thick snake tail, and its two human-like arms had several sharp, flat bone spikes growing from their outer sides, like sharp blades.
He looked at his blade, then at the other man's bleeding shoulder, and seemed to regret it. He had clearly aimed for the other man's neck, but he hadn't expected the other man to react so quickly.
Yunlong looked at the bloodstains on his shoulder, seemingly surprised: "Interesting. It seems I misjudged you. You, Xuanwu, aren't entirely useless; you do have some skill."
But as he spoke, he suddenly became inexplicably angry, "But since you have this kind of offensive ability, why didn't you help Qinglong in the first place, and instead watched him be killed by the Violet Mage?!"
With a low growl, the contempt in Yunlong's eyes gradually faded, replaced by unparalleled rage.
The next thing he did, the black scales on his body began to increase rapidly, and a surge of power erupted from his body.
If Xuanwu had used his full strength in the last battle, how could his younger brother have died? The other party must go down and die with his younger brother!
In an instant, he entered his third form. The violent reconstruction of his skeletal structure made his torso appear even more powerful and fierce. His eyes burned like hellfire, filled with rage and fury, without the slightest pity or hesitation, showing that he had once again transformed into a fighting machine no longer bound by reason.
Previously, Yunlong was in the second stage of the boss fight, but now, with the appearance of Xuanwu, it has directly drawn away a large portion of Yunlong's aggro, and even caused the opponent to directly enter the enraged third stage.
Whoosh!
Although Yunlong was huge, his attack speed was not slow at all. By the time Wan Jie reacted, Yunlong's claws had already approached, and his chest was pierced by a claw. The next second, he was thrown away violently.
Their fate was unknown, and they had absolutely no ability to resist.
Watching Wan Jie fly away like a kite with a broken string, Ye Qing stared intently at Yun Long in front of him, a flash of anger in his burning gaze.
"You will die!"
Ye Qing roared and suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Yunlong at top speed. The ferocious beast watched silently as the other charged towards it. It was the first time it had ever seen food being put into its mouth. The other had some strength, but in its eyes, it was still as insignificant as an ant.
Just as Ye Qing approached, Yunlong suddenly attacked, his movements fierce yet incredibly swift. Each move seemed to blend into the surrounding space, making it almost impossible to see his trajectory.
In an instant, the two powerful air currents collided, creating a deafening roar in the air, and everything around them shook and trembled under the shock wave.
Despite Ye Qing's best efforts, it was like throwing mud into the sea in front of the ferocious beast Yunlong. All his attacks were easily neutralized, and even his counterattacks seemed powerless to turn the tide.
boom!
With a muffled thud, Ye Qing was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. His body traced a tragic arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, Ye Qing struggled to his feet. He clutched his chest with his left hand, and bright red blood flowed from between his right fingers, inadvertently staining the ring on his finger.
"If that's all you've got, then you might as well go down and become a doomed couple with your Chigen Yama!"
Looking down at Ye Qing, who had been shot down, the beast spoke indifferently, its voice filled with contempt and indifference.
The next second, he suddenly lunged towards Ye Qing, even opening his gaping maw as if preparing to devour him.
Swallow it.
When Yunlong rushed in front of Ye Qing, the ring on the other party's hand suddenly flashed. The ferocious beast's figure retreated instantly, and reason returned to the highest point of his brain. He was too familiar with this power. Wasn't this the doctor's exclusive magic fluctuation?
Why does he sense the same magical energy fluctuations emanating from the prey before him?
"Die!"
Ye Qing's aura exploded instantly, and his power surged to the limit.
His murderous aura was chilling; the malevolent energy he exuded almost engulfed the entire battlefield, sending shivers down one's spine.
His claws transformed into a blade of light, slashing towards Yunlong, seemingly preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Seeing the blade slashing towards him, Yunlong could clearly sense that the opponent's strength wasn't too great. However, since the opponent exuded an aura similar to that of the Doctor, he had to be a little more cautious. He immediately condensed the magic power of the crystal core in his body and attached it to the black scales on his body, preparing to meet the opponent's fatal blow.
puff!
puff!
Ye Qing's sharp blades easily sliced through his armor scales, but just as he was about to strike his vitals, Yunlong beat him to it, plunging his claws into his abdomen.
With two sharp sounds of claws being withdrawn, Ye Qing felt a sudden, intense pain in his abdomen, and a large amount of blood clots gushed from his mouth!
Seeing the other's pained expression, the beast Yunlong's initial surprise gradually dissipated, replaced by a grating laugh:
"Heh heh heh, I thought you were something special? But you're nothing special. Like an ant trying to shake a tree, completely overestimating yourself."
When he first sensed the strange aura emanating from the other party, he thought it was like the Doctor's, possessing the terrifying ability to manipulate all the surrounding magic for his own use, and even to decipher the other party's magic formula and reverse engineer it. This forced him to suppress the violent killing intent in his heart and dare not be careless in the slightest. Now it seems that he was just being paranoid.
He's just a piece of trash!
The next second, Yunlong roared, no longer suppressing his inner rage and killing intent. He transformed once again into a ferocious beast that only knew how to kill. His feet turned into terrifying claws, and with a sudden stomp, several cracks were instantly crushed in the cement floor. He pounced on Ye Qing, who was panting heavily.
His current goal is simple: to cut off the other person's arm and hand it to the doctor, and then eat the two corpses on the ground.
Ye Qing watched as Yunlong lost his mind again, and felt the overwhelming killing intent coming towards him.
He suddenly grinned; this was the moment he had been waiting for, as the other party once again transformed into a mindless beast.
What is a ferocious beast? It is a wild animal that only knows how to attack but not how to defend.
Almost at the same time as Yunlong charged over, Ye Qing's pierced abdomen began to heal rapidly, the sharp blades on his arms stretched outwards quickly, and his feet twisted outwards, avoiding a direct confrontation with his opponent.
Yunlong, of course, wouldn't just stand by and watch his prey escape.
With a whoosh, the ferocious claws pierced towards Ye Qing like arrows, penetrating his chest without any resistance.
Ye Qing felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if something inside her body had ruptured.
But at this moment, he no longer cared. He raised his sharp claws and fiercely stabbed at the crystal core of the cloud dragon!
puff!
Yunlong also felt a slight pain in his chest. The next moment, his eyes were filled with anger, and he roared angrily as he swung his sword at the other's arm.
puff!
However, at this moment, it was too late. Yunlong felt that his body had suddenly undergone some strange change. The magic power in the crystal core was rapidly disappearing. No matter how he slashed at the other party's arm, the other party was like a leech sticking to his skin and refused to let go no matter what!
If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before he's on the verge of death. Since that's the case, let's die together!
Ah!
Yunlong suddenly roared, and his ferocious and terrifying body exploded like a giant hot air balloon, turning into a streak of blood-red mist.
This mist seemed to be extremely corrosive. Whether it encountered a cement floor or hard steel metal, it would become pitted and uneven after coming into contact with the blood mist, let alone Ye Qing in the very center.
hiss~
Pain, so much pain! Ye Qing felt as if his entire body had been thrown into sulfuric acid, rapidly corroded and left mutilated. Even the freak's tough body couldn't withstand Yunlong's furious attack before his death.
Amidst the intense pain, Ye Qing seemed to transcend the boundary between reality and illusion, encountering a lovely blonde, blue-eyed girl. She was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, dispelling all the gloom.
The girl slowly approached, her eyes like a clear blue lake, pure and deep, reflecting the stars and the sea, as well as her boundless care and pity for Ye Qing.
Her soft, delicate palm gently rested on Ye Qing's forehead. At that moment, it felt as if some magical power was flowing through him, permeating his body and soul.
The excruciating pain gradually subsided, replaced by a peace and tranquility I had never experienced before.
Her words were like a gentle drizzle, soft and tender: "No matter what choice you make, Mima will stay by your side and support you forever."
These words, like a spell, pierced Ye Qing's soul, slowly fading away his physical pain and inner helplessness, leaving only boundless warmth and comfort.
Inside the factory, the noisy fighting gradually subsided, and silence returned.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
In the ruins of the white sugar factory, Wan Jiecan leaned against the wall of Yijing, dragging his half-dead body to his feet. When he opened his bright eyes and looked around, he found that everything was over.
In the center of the factory, Yunlong's imposing and terrifying body had disappeared; all he could see was a broken body, as if corroded by sulfuric acid, lying there quietly.
"Boss, sir?"
Wan Jie walked up to his brother, looking at his unseeing face, and suppressed his horror as he closed the man's eyes. A hint of sadness lingered in his gaze. "Boss, I thought I'd die with you this time, but I didn't expect the magic that doctor gave me to be so powerful, protecting my vitals and preventing me from dying... Sigh, but it's alright, at least I can help you collect your spirit. Look at that idiot Yunlong, no one helped him collect his spirit after he died."
Wan Jie muttered to himself as he carefully carried Ye Qing's battered and bruised body on his back.
As their figures disappeared from the factory, a slender woman emerged from the shadows of Yijing. Her gaze shifted from the man, "Such a mysterious aura as the Doctor. It seems Yeqiu City is about to become quite turbulent."
Li Lan sighed, glancing at the corrosion in the factory. "Hu Yunlong, Hu Yunlong," she lamented, "If Youfan had a team leader by your side this time, you wouldn't have ended up like this. But who can you blame now? In the end, I had to come and clean up your mess. It makes me so angry. Where's that assistant manager who's always with you? I haven't seen her come. Humph, she wouldn't be here to take your life or your body."
"Ah, no, that's not right."
"Now, even if I wanted to help you overcome your fear, I don't have the three methods."
Li Lan snorted coldly, a sound that seemed both mocking and sarcastic. In the end, she sighed slightly. She had been so fascinated by Hu Yunlong before, but after Fang Li became obsessed with the powerful force of the third stage transformation, he became uncontrollable. It was no longer him controlling the power, but the power controlling him.
"Fine, I'll still help you with a coffin tomb later, bury it near your brother's place in Kyoto."
Li Lan's gaze searched the factory ruins for a moment, at which point a crystalline object in the ruins suddenly flickered.
Her eyes flashed, and she quickly picked up the ring and a few pieces of Yunlong's white bones, disappearing into the white sugar factory.
After a long while, a ball of azure blue slime and the figure of Chesia in work clothes emerged from the shadows. Suzaku looked at Chesia in Ikyo and teased:
"Ya, that guy was subtly criticizing you just now, why don't you go up and fight him?"
"We, Chesia, have only one master, and that is Princess Irisviel, and so do you."
Assistant store manager Xiaoya didn't take Zhuque's teasing to heart; she gave a deep look to Li Lan as he left.
She then turned her head and looked at Suzaku Yihong with an indifferent expression. If it weren't for Princess Iris stopping her, she would have killed this disgusting and despicable insect long ago.
"Tsk, boring."
Zhuque snorted coldly, walked to the spot where Ye Qing had died, and clicked her tongue:
"Luckily, I didn't come back seeking revenge, otherwise I'd be lying on the ground right now. But honestly, isn't it a bit too abrupt that you died like this? It actually makes me a little uneasy."
Thinking of this, she walked up to Chesia and offered her a good suggestion: "Xiaoya, you saw the battle scene just now. There must be something in that ring that triggers the monster. What do you think about me digging out Ye Qing's body, sending it back to the Abyss, and having the noble Princess Yingluo revive her so she becomes like me? If she doesn't confess honestly, we can send her to the Abyss Hall. What do you think?"
"Not so good. This was originally part of Princess Luo's plan."
Assistant store manager Xiaoya glanced at Zhuque indifferently:
"If you want, you can actually just take off the other person's ring and put it on yourself, since you were originally one of the candidates for the relic."
"No, no, I think I'm fine as I am. Slimes are so cute, I can transform into whoever I want. I'm willing to become the Lord of the Abyss."
Zhuque shook her head vigorously; she was no longer that simple, reserved young man.
She now has a fairly good understanding of the Abyss's system.
If there were no Lord of the Abyss, then the Abyss Demoness would be the most powerful. However, if there were a Lord of the Abyss, then the Abyss Demoness would be, to put it nicely, an assistant, but to put it bluntly, she would be the Lord of the Abyss's harem.
So here's the question: would anyone in the world want an extra person on their head for no reason?
Anyway, she was unwilling. Based on what she knew and the information she had, she vaguely recognized the magic emanating from the ring on Ye Qing's finger. It seemed that she had felt the same magic when she first met the Doctor after arriving at the Renegade Organization.
Seeing Suzaku shake his head, the assistant store manager, Xiaoya, also shook her head with great regret. "It seems I overestimated your courage. I thought you wanted to become a harem king like Lance!"
Hearing the teasing from the assistant store manager, Xiaoya, Zhuque snorted coldly and remained silent.
If it weren't for Ye Qing's appearance, given her awakened abilities, her starting point would definitely not be low. At that time, villainous witches and traitorous organizations would be sidelined, although she would most likely end up becoming a puppet of the Demoness Nymph.
Before this, there was absolutely no doubt that she would become the queen of the harem.
Instead of being relegated to the lowest level of the abyss as an RBQ slime, as it is now.
