Chapter 493: Chapter 384: Time’s Up!

Imperial Capital.

Zoo.

A blond man emerged from the Void and landed on the ground once again.

"We need to hurry up. We absolutely can’t capsize in the gutter..."

He muttered to himself and reached into the Void with force.

A black grand flag was drawn out by him and planted on the ground, fluttering in the wind.

The breeze brushing past the flag slowly revealed bizarre runes, which transformed into waves of invisible fluctuations spreading in all directions.

Anomalous occurrences gradually began.

The sky turned into utter darkness.

Lightning bolts shuttled back and forth among the dark clouds.

The entire world fell into complete silence as if waiting for something.

"Seal the city."

The blond man whispered in a low voice.

Boom—Boom—

Thunder sounded.

Dense Thunder Light appeared in the sky, scattering around like fireworks.

If one stood at the borders of the Imperial Capital at this time, they could see the faint Thunder Light fences that had appeared.

Any being that touched them was instantly turned to dust.

"The battlefield is set, so next—"

The blond man took a deep breath and shouted aloud:

"I, the bearer of the Calamity of Infinite Destruction, evoke this ritual in the body of an Evil Spirit, desiring the arrival of the Great Calamity that pierces the souls of all beings!"

His voice turned into a roar:

"Come, concentrate power for me!"

In his call, a boiling light surged from the black flag, forming a faceless face in the air, emitting a dull sound:

"With the power of your flag, the summoning ritual of the Infinite Calamity has been initiated."

"Establish coordinates in this parallel sin prison, and attract the Great Calamity. At least four Heroic Spirits are needed to be imprisoned, using their power to complete the summoning."

"You are granted the power to sense Heroic Spirits!"

"Call more Evil Spirits to this world, complete the task of capturing Heroic Spirits within this city."

"Remember, at least four!"

The blond man listened solemnly and nodded:

"Understood."

He leaped to the top of the dark flag, looking around him.

Clang!

Clang!

In a series of sounds, all the iron cages opened.

Lions, tigers, and pythons left the places that confined them, appearing in the zoo.

The blond man looked at these wild beasts and smiled:

"Go eat people—the more you eat, the greater your power will be."

The beasts, upon hearing this, scattered in all directions and ran towards the outside of the zoo.

The blond man then looked in a certain direction and whispered softly:

"The prison... is worth a visit, there are more gifted and beautiful ones there, they definitely wish to obtain the power of the Evil Spirit."

He lifted the black flag, about to rush towards the direction of the prison, but his figure suddenly halted.

"That’s not right..."

He turned his head, looking in the direction of the Imperial Science Research Institute.

"It seems a Heroic Spirit has already arrived there...good, I’ll capture one first."

The blond man’s form flashed and he disappeared from the spot.

...

Forest.

A series of Air Blades flew out.

The kneeling giant trees were quickly slashed to extinction.

The emaciated young man stood among the logs, his face pale and terrifying.

"Damn it... who wants your blessings."

He cursed fiercely.

Wu Xiaode stood on water with his arms crossed, glancing at him.

Several lines of ice crystal characters appeared beside the emaciated young man in the Void:

"Fairy’s Luck Blessing obtained;"

"Fairy’s Great Healing Demon Art obtained;"

"Forest Tree People’s Natural Affinity Blessing obtained."

Wu Xiaode silently nodded.

—It seemed that the gap in fortune between them was getting bigger.

If the other did not find a way to escape his current luck and blessings—

The outcome would be decided.

Suddenly, the emaciated young man twisted his head to look at him and said:

"Do you think you’ve already won?"

"Not really, I never boast arrogantly before a battle ends, and honestly, I don’t like misfortune," Wu Xiaode shrugged.

Swish!

Another piranha leaped out of the water, its mouth full of sharp teeth, about to bite Wu Xiaode.

An Air Blade flew in, slicing the piranha into two halves.

"With me here, you can’t get more unlucky."

The emaciated young man grinned, showing a malevolent smile.

He strode towards Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode was taken aback and whispered softly:

"You’re changing strategies..."

The emaciated young man replied, "That’s right, I’ll always be by your side, any misfortune about to befall you will be disrupted by me!"

Another piranha jumped from the water, about to bite Wu Xiaode, but was swiftly killed again by the quick reactions of the emaciated young man.

"Annoying guy!"

Wu Xiaode clenched his fist, ready to strike but then stopped.

Not right.

This was not the time to fight him.

If he beat him up now, wouldn’t that just dissipate the luck on his body?

The emaciated young man spread his arms wide, laughing loudly:

"Come on! Come hit me! Any way you like!"

Wu Xiaode silently put down his hands.

Stay calm.

At this moment, he still had the upper hand.

Swish-Swish-Swish—

A succession of sounds of air being ripped apart.

All the piranhas biting on Wu Xiaode were slain to extinction by the emaciated young man.

The bad luck enveloping Wu Xiaode vanished!

"So that’s it... you’re using your luck to extinguish the misfortune on me..."

Wu Xiaode said.

This not only prevented him from gaining greater advantages, but the frail boy’s own luck was also continuously being erased.

"From now on, I’ll be by your side, no matter what, I won’t leave!" the frail boy said proudly.

"By my side?" Wu Xiaode repeated.

He suddenly stepped back, his body enveloping in a mist.

In an instant.

He disappeared.

The frail boy’s face changed drastically, he rushed forward a few steps, his hands frantically reaching into the Void, but he couldn’t grasp Wu Xiaode at all.

At that moment, the sound of hooves rang out from the shore.

Several men and women riding warhorses galloped towards them.

They looked at the giant tree corpses all over the ground, dismounted in shock, and exclaimed,

"Who did this? They killed all the Guardians of the forest!"

"How evil!"

"We must avenge them!"

The frail boy heard this, his heart filling with joy, just about to speak—

The mist suddenly dispersed.

Wu Xiaode, standing on a branch of a giant tree, laughed loudly and said,

"I killed all the trees! What can you do to me?"

After speaking, he leapt towards the frail boy.

He raised his long sword high—

In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell on the frail boy, finally realizing—

This boy was blessed by the Forest Tree People!

This boy was blessed by fairies!

This boy seemed to have completed the coronation ceremony, becoming the leader of the Tree People!

"Stop!"

Everyone shouted angrily, standing in front of the frail boy.

Wu Xiaode leapt backwards, laughing loudly,

"Useless, he is under my Insanity Curse, he will involuntarily attack anyone!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly merged into the mist and disappeared.

Everyone turned back.

The frail boy already had two Wind Blades forming in his hands.

—He was recognized as king by the forest!

Why would he attack us?

Could he really be insane?

"Don’t hurt him, catch him!"

A warrior shouted loudly.

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The frail boy’s face showed an expression of mixed laughter and tears, and he shook his head, saying, "Child’s play, you think you can handle me?"

In a place he couldn’t see—

Behind him, in the Void, a mist dispersed, revealing five bronze hands.

Two bronze hands grabbed his arms.

The third and fourth bronze hands held down his feet.

The frail boy tried to struggle, but the fifth bronze hand gently pinched his neck.

The frail boy shivered all over, yet he defiantly roared,

"Come on! Hit me!"

He voluntarily stopped in his tracks, waiting for Wu Xiaode’s beating.

But the next moment—

All the bronze hands disappeared.

That warrior rushed up, tying him up tightly with a rune rope.

"You are under the Insanity Curse, we need to take you back to lift the curse," the lead warrior explained.

"Let me go!" the frail boy struggled.

"Sleep now, once we get back to the Holy City, you will be saved," a Priest comforted him.

He emitted a gentle light.

The frail boy immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"Let’s go, before the enemy makes a move, we must return immediately!" the lead warrior said.

"Depart!"

Everyone echoed.

They took the frail boy onto their horses and sped toward the outskirts of the forest.

A while later.

Wu Xiaode stood back in the lake.

Splash!

A piranha jumped out of the water and bit him on the buttocks.

"Ah, my bad luck won’t be disturbed anymore, I guess,"

he murmured softly.

Ya’s voice followed:

"I wonder how long he will be unconscious."

"It doesn’t matter," Wu Xiaode said.

"It doesn’t matter?"

"Yes, a mere hour is not enough time for him to turn the tables," Wu Xiaode said.

Wu Xiaode sank into the water, letting the piranhas bite him, quietly waiting for the outcome of the duel.

...

Elsewhere.

Dozens of minutes later.

The frail boy slowly woke up on horseback.

"He’s awake."

"He’s under the Insanity Curse, let him continue to sleep until we reach the Holy City."

"Okay."

Thump.

The frail boy received a karate chop, his eyes desperately trying to stay open, attempting to stay awake.

Can’t sleep!

Sleeping now means losing!

"Huh? He’s still awake."

"Do it again."

Thump!

The frail boy immediately fell unconscious again.

After a while.

Time was up.

The duel of the Crow Spirits was over.
