His consciousness focused on the "IX" rune, and a large number of information fragments poured into his mind. Chen Xing instantly understood its function.
It is an upgraded version of the trio, which can be called the "nine trio"!
When consciousness returned to the sea, the rolling waves suddenly calmed down, and then separated left and right like cut tofu cubes.
"Crash..."
The sea water flows against the current, and a blue rune slowly rises.
Compared with other runes, this rune is very special. It is made entirely of sea water, with waves rippling inside, like jelly. In the process of rising, it gradually condenses into ice and turns into a blue ice soul, which is crystal clear and beautiful.
Although beautiful, it is accompanied by a sense of vastness, as if it existed when the world first opened, and appeared here across endless time, making people feel awe and at the same time extremely kind.
At the same time, Lacey outside the spiritual sea felt an unprecedented threat and took the lead in attacking.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Just like what all superiors usually do - slap a hat on the opponent first, and then kill him.
Lacey jumped forward, spread her wings of light, flew several meters, and struck down with a sword.
"Snapped!"
The giant insect sickle arrived first and knocked Lacey into the air. The latter flipped several meters in mid-air, flapped its light wings behind its back to stabilize its figure, and hovered in the air.
"The Black Queen, Manticore!"
Lacey pointed her sword at the ant queen, and the black snake queen and the two-headed manticore immediately rushed over.
The black snake queen on the ground twisted her thick snake body, swam very fast to the side of the ant queen, raised her head and sprayed out a large cloud of poisonous gas.
Su Na crossed her giant scythe to protect Chen Xing. The poisonous mist penetrated through the cracks in the carapace, sizzling and acrid white smoke emitted.
Su Na silently endured the poisonous pain, as if countless silver needles were piercing her skin. The pain was so painful that her soul was trembling, but she refused to avoid it.
The two-headed manticore flew to the other side and breathed out a storm of fire.
When the red flame encountered the poisonous gas, it immediately turned into a dark green poisonous fire.
Su Na was not Chen Xing. She was not immune to fire. The poisonous fire burned the insect shell, and black smoke filled the air from every crack.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuah, it hurts so much, it hurts like hell!"
Su Na could no longer bear the double pain of poisonous fire and started crying and screaming.
But she still defended her dear brother with all her might, never taking a step back.
The situation was critical. Little blue lights suddenly lit up among the green fire in the sky. The rapidly twisting air rolled the green fire into small whirlpools.
The crystal warhead emerged from the center of the vortex, shooting straight into the air and the ground with a sharp sound that ripped through the air.
"Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!"
Amidst the intensive gunfire, strings of psychic armor-piercing bullets hit the lion's head and snake's mouth, and the fire storm and poisonous gas came to an abrupt end.
As the poisonous fire dissipated, the figure behind was revealed.
Lacey frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised.
I saw a row of "Chen Xing" standing upright in front of the queen's huge body, all holding assault rifles in their hands.
Usually there are only two mirror clones, but here there are nearly twenty.
Lacey was just stunned for a moment before recovering, with a sneer on her face, "Humph, is it useful if there are more of them?" Her tone was very disdainful. For her who has Manticore, how many clones are meaningless.
With a thought in her mind, Manticore opened its dotted beast eyes, glowing with red light.
But the next second, her expression suddenly changed, because in the vision shared by Manticore and the host, every Chen Xing was an entity, not an aggregation of stars and sand like a mirror image.
This can only mean one problem - the other party has mastered the manifestation of spiritual energy!
From the mirror clone to the physical clone.
Breakthroughs in battle are not uncommon, but mastering the manifestation of psychic powers right after a breakthrough is unheard of. Even she spent more than half a year on her own, and that was with Aaliyah's help.
From what she knew, the opponent's talent was extremely poor. Even breaking through the guard level relied on hero potion. Now he actually jumped two levels in a row and directly mastered the spiritual manifestation that was only available at the lord level. It was really incredible.
"I said, even if you die, I will bite a piece of flesh off your body!"
A calm and indifferent voice sounded, and Lacey subconsciously looked over and met Chen Xing's eyes directly.
His eyes were deep and boundless, with a determination to look down on life and death, which made people fearful and dare not look directly.
"kill!"
Nineteen Chen Xings fired at the same time, shooting strings of psychic bullets at Lacey.
Lacey raised her shield to defend herself, and fired three consecutive psychic bullets with incomparable precision. They all hit one point, bursting out with a blinding light.
The continuous attacks forced Lacey to slide backwards, and her heels plowed two deep marks on the ground.
"drink!"
Lacey let out a high-pitched war cry, spread out the light feathers behind her, fluttered her wings, and then swooped down quickly, heading straight towards Chen Xing.
Nineteen figures dispersed in a rush, leaving only tiny arcs of electricity bouncing around. Lacey fell from the sky with a loud bang, creating a big crater.
"Zi la!"
The next second, nineteen Chen Xing appeared around Lacey. They held a variety of weapons in their hands, including long knives, daggers, Mitsubishi thorns and other cold weapons, as well as pistols, rifles, shotguns and other firearms. Surrounded by people.
Lacey's face changed slightly. It was the first time that she was surrounded by so many men at close range, and their eyes were sharp and fierce, as if they wanted to eat her alive.
"Go away!"
Lacey waved her shield and dagger in a panic, trying to drive away these dirty, disgusting and dangerous guys.
But the opponent is extremely flexible, either dodging left or right, or moving instantly. His swings frequently missed, as if he were fighting the air. What's even worse is that after the opponent dodges, he immediately surrounds him, like a swarm of annoying flies.
She swung her sword, struck with her shield, and swung her legs repeatedly, but none of them ran away. Occasionally hit once or twice, it is not like the mirror clone that collapses at the first touch. It dusts itself off and stands up again, continuing to struggle.
There are two core differences between mirror clones and physical clones.
First, the mirror clone has no weapons and can only use ready-made weapons, while the physical clone uses weapons embodied by psychic energy. There is no need to carry them. Even the ammunition is embodied, which is very convenient.
The second is that the mirror clone can only withstand 1% of the damage of the main body and will break if it is slightly scratched, while the physical clone can withstand 80% of the damage of the main body.
There are violent energy storms blowing in the void all the time, and the function of the Devil's Pot is to extract pure spiritual energy from the chaotic magic energy in the storm and provide it to the user.
Compared with the energy of the earth's core, the energy of the void is more violent and powerful. Chen Xing's absorption of the Devil's Pot is equivalent to directly skipping the fire-stealing stage and entering the whale-swallowing stage, using void energy.
Although the amount of energy cannot be compared with the King level, the quality far exceeds that of the Lord level, so he directly awakened the spiritual energy.
Lacey was attacked from both sides, with knives and daggers stabbing her constantly. Even though he was protected by a golden battle armor, he couldn't help but use tricky angles to attack the armor's gaps and vital points.
"boom!"
Lacey was so annoyed by being harassed that she gathered all her psychic energy and used psychic blast.
A dazzling light burst out, and several Chen Xings were shaken away, but they surrounded him again in an instant and continued to chop and stab.
The Manticore and the Snake Queen wanted to come over to help, but were held back by Suna and the White Wolf King, unable to get away.
"Snapped!"
During the siege, a clone took advantage of the gap where Lacey had just finished wielding the shield and was still standing, and kicked her in the butt.
Lacey stumbled forward. Even though she was protected by spiritual armor, she was not invulnerable. There was still some pain, as if someone had slapped her, making a snapping sound.
Lacey was so ashamed and angry. When had the eldest princess, who was born into a noble family and loved by thousands of people, ever been humiliated like this? She was so angry that she almost fainted.
"presumptuous!"
She protected her waist and scolded loudly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she was hit again in the chest. She subconsciously protected her breasts, but her butt immediately suffered another blow.
The opponent was as nimble as a group of monkeys, jumping up and down in front of her eyes, flashing left and right, making her dazzled and dizzy.
Suddenly there was a pulling feeling behind me. Turning her head to look, she saw that the other party was tugging on her wings, causing the white feathers to fly in all directions.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The holy wings were desecrated, and Lacey was going crazy. She waved and flapped her sword and shield in random directions, like an emotionally out-of-control lioness.
But this is just a waste of energy, and the body is full of flaws, further fueling the opponent's offensive.
As his advantage increased, Chen Xing began to change his strategy. All weapons were replaced by Mitsubishi thorns. All attacks were concentrated on one point, constantly stabbing Lacey's abdomen because there was no armor covering it.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"
With each stab, the psychic armor rippled.
Although each blow can only cause very small damage, dripping water can penetrate rocks, and ropes can cut wood. No matter how small the force is, as long as it is concentrated on one point, it can break through ice and split mountains.
Realizing his intentions, Lacey became increasingly panicked.
She never thought that the existence that she regarded as ants might actually threaten her.
There was a faint stinging pain in her navel, and Lacey tried her best to fight back, but the opponent's psychic energy seemed to be inexhaustible, and he kept teleporting to dodge or teleport to assassinate.
After a few rounds, Lacey was panting and looking increasingly frightened. She seemed to see her own intestines being dislodged.
Just when she was desperate, the figure that was jumping at high speed suddenly stopped for a moment.
"puff!"
Without any warning, Chen Xing spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face turned gray, and he fell straight down.
At the same time, all the clones turned into little stars and disappeared into nothingness.
Finally, his body reached its limit.
Excessive use of psychic energy causes the blood vessels to be overloaded for a long time and cannot be loaded. Starting from the capillaries, it spreads, causing large-scale rupture and internal bleeding...
Lacey relaxed from the pressure, her legs became weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
After a while, the spiritual energy flowing from the earth's veins filled most of the spiritual pool. She finally took a breath, recovered from despair, and regained her original arrogance and confidence.
Turning around to look, the battle in the distance was coming to an end.
The huge insect body lay on the ground, dying.
When Chen Xing was exhausted, Yu Ling also lost his spiritual energy supply, and the White Wolf King collapsed and left the field.
Suna became one-on-two and quickly fell behind.
The ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge underground tunnel. The ants swarmed out and dragged the queen insects deeper into the ground.
Lacey didn't stop her. Her purpose was just to kill Chen Xing and didn't want to cause any complications. Moreover, this ant queen seems to understand human nature, perhaps scholars in the royal city will be interested.
On the other side, after several minutes of fainting, Chen Xing woke up from the pain. No part of his body was without pain. He struggled to take out the treatment needle from the storage space and injected it three times in a row.
His goal was not to survive, but to relieve pain.
Although death is inevitable now, suicide is impossible. He is attached to life from the bottom of his heart. He still has a beloved woman, a career to do, and many ideals to realize.
It is better to die than to live. Every second you live counts as a second...
I just don’t know if I will be able to travel through time or be reborn if I die this time.
He looked at the clouds passing by in the sky and enjoyed the rare tranquility.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was darkness above the head, and a cold and beautiful face looked down at him, with the sword pointed directly at his throat.
"I have to admit that you do have some merits, so I allow you..." she paused, "to make a last wish."
"Don't embarrass my people." Chen Xing said.
"Your wish has come true." Lacey announced, then changed the subject, "Now you can die."
Seeing the various behaviors of the other party, she became more determined to kill him. She couldn't help but think, given time, would it be possible for the other party to surpass her?
The thought of this possibility made her feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the other party must die.
"Woo..."
Just as he was about to take action, the sound of vehicles and then shouts suddenly came from behind.
"Wait, wait, keep people under the sword, keep people under the sword!"
It seemed to be mixed with bursts of footsteps.
Lacey frowned slightly, but not because of anyone disturbing her, but because she was hesitating between piercing her throat or beheading her.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, keep others under the sword!"
"Your Royal Highness, Mayor Chen is a good man, you can't kill him!"
Someone called out her identity. She looked towards the source of the voice with confusion, and then froze.
Several dune buggies were driving this way, and the people on them waved at her desperately.
But the reason why she was stunned was not them, but the crowd gradually appearing on the horizon.
The sound of footsteps became louder and louder, like thousands of horses galloping, and bursts of thunder.
More and more people appeared on the horizon, numbering in the tens of thousands.
They ran as fast as they could, like the waves of the sea.
"Don't hurt our mayor!"
"Our mayor is a good man, don't hurt him!"
The crowd's emotions surged, and the waves of sound became more and more intense. In the blink of an eye, they turned into huge waves, covering the sky and the earth, and resounding throughout the wilderness.
"Roar!"
Sensing the owner's displeasure, the two-headed manticore jumped forward and roared at the crowd.
The ferocious roar immediately calmed the crowd, and the pressure of the ancient ferocious beast filled the air. The sound suddenly stopped, and was replaced by deathly silence.
The dune buggies rushing ahead braked suddenly. The one at the front braked too sharply and lost control and rolled over. The people in the car fell out of the car, regardless of whether they were injured or not. As soon as they landed on the ground, they rolled and crawled towards the two people.
"Your Royal Highness, Mayor Chen is a good person and a loyal minister of our Red Dragon Principality. There must be some misunderstanding here, a misunderstanding!"
The person running at the front turned out to be Mayor Bert of Roast Duck Town. He was still wearing pajamas and was covered in dirt when the car rolled over. He stumbled over and stood in front of Chen Xing.
Behind them are Mayor Anbixi of Beauty Town, as well as the backbone of Orchid Town such as Lao K, Da Mao, Xiao Yang, Wu Jinjian, and Cassie.
"You..." Lacey glanced at her and said coldly, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Openly resisting the royal family is tantamount to treason!" Lacey said with a frosty face and a hat in her backhand.
"Eldest Princess, calm down, calm down..." Mayor Bert knelt down with a plop, and said in a panic, "I don't know if Mayor Chen did something wrong, which made the eldest princess Long Yan furious. Old Bert dared to plead for mercy, Chen Zhen He who cultivates wasteland, treats the people well, and makes this marginal land full of life is a loyal minister and good man of the principality."
Mayor Bert kowtowed to the ground, "If there is any guilt, please let him make amends and add more national strength to our Red Dragon Principality."
Chen Xing was a little surprised. How could Mayor Bert, who was usually timid and afraid of getting into trouble, dare to appear here and disobey the eldest princess of the principality?
He didn't believe that he was working so hard for the sake of friendship.
After all, they are neither relatives nor friends, they just have some exchange of interests.
After thinking about it, he realized that the old man was working hard for his retirement.
Mayor Bert's spiritual pool is broken. If no one supports him, the mayor's position will definitely change to someone else. Instead of living in poverty for the rest of your life, it's better to give it a try.
But, can these people alone force Lacey to give up killing him?
Seems unlikely.
In front of the strong men in the Holy Realm, they are just a group of ants, not as powerful as a few manticores' blazing storms.
Why should we cause heavy casualties because of him?
but……
If it is completely invalid, with the characters of Mayor Bert and Mayor Anbixi, it is impossible to appear here.
At this time, he noticed that Lacey looked a little strange. Although her face was cold, her hands seemed to be shaking a little. Could it be that she was feeling guilty?
Thinking deeper, it suddenly dawned on you.
The other party was the eldest princess of the principality, a being respected by everyone, and she openly killed her own ministers. If word spread, wouldn't it mean that her reputation would be tarnished?
