There was no light, no sound, and Ye Zi, who was in the poisonous mist, seemed to be standing in a dark and silent universe... And maybe the next second, maybe the next minute, the Scorpion King might make a sneak attack from any angle. If it regenerates its own tail stinger, it only takes one hit from the poisonous sting to make Ye Zi lose its fighting ability.
Besides passively defending, turning on the energy shield to the maximum, and wasting energy, there seems to be no other way... But, is this really the case?
No, after entering the state of "a clear mirror and still water", her thoughts were surrounded by the power of water, which was unprecedentedly clear and clear: what the ancients called "the heart is like a clear mirror" is not a kind of thinking for her at this moment. An exaggerated metaphor, but a real description. Even if she loses her vision, even if she loses her hearing, she only needs the subtle vibrations from the ground beneath her feet, the airflow fluctuations from the poisonous mist, or even the elusive sixth sense. This information is enough for her to make a judgment.
Five seconds, ten seconds, and thirty seconds passed, but neither side made any move. This was a battle that tested patience. Either side could become the hunter, and either side could become the prey... And finally, Ye Zi moved!
(If I were Sakura Kong...)
There was almost no obvious movement in her footsteps, but her whole body seemed to shrink into an inch, moving an incredible distance to the left... In this small inch, the mysterious and small movements were clearly like Zhao Yingkong's assassin's footwork. Somewhat mysterious. Then, he twisted his waist ninety degrees and poured all the remaining elven energy into the Spear of Judgment.
(Also...Zheng Zha, lend me your power!)
What Ye Zi is best at is the subtle use of energy, but the most important thing now is to explode the maximum lethality in an instant... In this aspect, Zheng Zha is the real master!
After almost seamlessly switching to simulating Zheng Zha's thinking, his experience of thousands of sparring sessions in the main god space was integrated into techniques that Ye Zi could actually use: how to combine every muscle, bone, and even With the energy circuit pressed to its limit...how to strike an indomitable, purely powerful blow at the cost of self-destruction!
"drink!"
The blood vessels on the white arms burst, blooming with gorgeous and dazzling blood flowers. At the same time, the "power" accumulated in the Spear of Judgment also reached its extreme... The golden light overflowed on the spear, and there was a faint awe-inspiring force. Divine power. And in the next moment, the spear came out of her hand, and at a terrifying speed several times the speed of sound, it pointed directly at the position where she had been before she dodged!
"Bang!"
The deafening sound of gold and iron clashing even broke through the poisonous fog that blocked all sounds, resounding throughout the entire hall. That was the sound of the spear of judgment penetrating the golden gong... Could it be that Ye Zi bet everything on this blow? , did you miss it! ?
No, I saw the poisonous mist in the hall surge up and collapse towards the same point... exactly the direction Ye Zifang aimed at. After the poisonous mist completely collapsed, Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes, her pupils were like bottomless cold pools, and the scene in the hall was finally revealed to her field of vision.
In the center of the collapse of the poisonous mist, the Scorpion King stood there in a daze, with a look of disbelief on his face: its tail needle had already been regenerated, and it pierced Ye Zi's original position, but unfortunately it fell in the air. There was a hole the size of a sea bowl in its chest... The collapsing poisonous mist rushed towards the wound, trying to fill it, but it was all in vain.
This time, the golden light on the wound not only prevented the Scorpion King from regenerating, but also spread towards the rest of its body, forming dense spiderweb-like cracks like glass that had been hit hard.
"In the past, I also had an epic adventure... I once killed the dark wizard Sargon with the sword of Damocles, and also killed the tyrant Memnon of ancient Egypt. My wife Cassandra at that time, Just like you, she is a girl from China." (Note 1)
As the saying goes, "When a man is about to die, he speaks kindly." At this moment of death, the Scorpion King's eyes actually showed a bit of humanity. It... no, it was him, as the human Mathayus He slowly spoke to Ye Zi, even if every word he said, part of his body was broken into pieces and dissipated in the air.
"Becoming such a human being, a ghost or a ghost is all due to my own greed and lust for power... It's ridiculous that I have destroyed countless monsters, but I have not been able to defeat the monster in my heart and walked into their path. The old way has fallen to such an extent.”
Finally, Mathayus's body had completely collapsed, leaving only a handsome human head suspended in the air. He no longer looked at Ye Zi, but raised his head, looked at the sky through the thick pyramid, and whispered softly. Said the last words.
"Forgive me, Cassandra."
After silently glancing at the place where Mathayus disappeared, Ye Zi walked towards the end of the hall and pulled out the Spear of Judgment, which had pierced the golden gong and was almost completely submerged in the wall. At the same time, a reminder from the Lord God rang in his mind.
"Complete the Scorpion King branch plot ahead of schedule and get two B-level branch plots, 10,000 reward points, and the Death Bracelet is unlocked. The pyramid will collapse in thirty seconds. Please escape from the pyramid."
As the restraint of the main god disappeared, the familiar power returned to Ye Zi's body. In the battle just now, except for the last blow that injured her right arm, she had no other injuries. Therefore, her speed at this time was still at its peak. In less than ten seconds, she came to the outside of the pyramid. In a few more leaps, she easily reached the top of the pyramid and took off the huge of diamonds as souvenirs, then…
Ye Zi opened her arms like a bird, and the light cyan elf energy formed her "wings". The power of the wind surged under her feet. After leaping into the sky, the beautiful shadow cut through the blue sky and passed by. He ignored the pyramids and oasis that were constantly collapsing and sinking under his feet, and glided toward the distance.

"You...have become weaker? No, it's the realm...have you become stronger again?"
Three years in the horror movie world is only a moment compared to the main god space. When Ye Zi knocked on the door of Zhao Yingkong's room, the latter's first reaction was a little surprised. He seemed to feel that Ye Zi's aura was weakening, and he was worried. Has she gone crazy? However, she immediately rejected this conjecture and understood the real situation... Ye Zi's aura was not "weakened" but "introverted". In other words, in less than a morning, her state of mind had changed. One step forward!
Zhao Yingkong's expression was a bit complicated. On the one hand, she felt happy for this good friend from the bottom of her heart. On the other hand, since she entered the main god space, she had been constantly being played by Ye Zi, who was stronger than her... cough, Despite teasing, the gap in strength between the two sides is getting wider and wider, which for her, who was once called a genius, is still a bit unwilling.
"It's...to borrow that C-level subplot."
The emotion on his face flashed away, and Zhao Yingkong, who had returned to her usual iceberg beauty appearance, guessed Ye Zi's intention and walked directly towards the main god's ball of light.
And Ye Zi didn't have a mother-in-law, so she directly used the two B-level side plots from the Scorpion King mission, the two C-level side plots from the Death Bracelet mission, and the C-level side plot lent to her by Yingkong, to create a complete story. An A-level subplot, redeeming the prop that Chu Xuan told her.
A stone as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright cloud, as smooth as a crisp, and wrapped in five-color patterns.
This... is Zhang Jie's other life-saving thing besides the Holy Grail!
After throwing this expensive stone, the Death Bracelet and the Spear of Judgment to Chu Xuan, Ye Zi pestered Zhao Yingkong and went back to the room together with the latter half pushing him.
From Zhao Yingkong's perspective, she was still with Ye Zi last night, but for Ye Zi, she has been separated from Yingkong for three years... and Yingkong is about to see the things that have been accumulated and precipitated for three years. "Missing" is so terrifying.
----------
What happened in the next room is a topic that cannot be touched. Speaking of Chu Xuan's room, not long after Ye Zi left, another visitor came, but it was Zhang Heng, the newcomer from the previous scene.
He was hesitant about his exchange, and remembered that everyone in the Central Continent team was convinced of Chu Xuan, so he came to ask for his advice. After struggling for a while, he told his old habit of being afraid of blood and his past stories. Chu Xuan told everything.
"We'll talk about the exchange later..."
Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and showed a rare interest. The muscles on his face twitched a few times, as if he was trying hard to put on a kind expression.
"Do you need psychological counseling?"
Note 1: These are the plots of "The Scorpion King 2" and "The Scorpion King 1" respectively. Cassandra is played by mixed-race Chinese actress Kelly Hu. The setting is that she is a prophetess from China.
