Chapter 299: Chapter 275 Barbaric_2

Facing the Spiral Ball, Kurosaki Ichigo stomped on the ground and used the Bleach’s Instant Step Skill, flashing to a distance.

Meanwhile, Naruto emitted red chakra from his body, covering his entire body, and grew three fox tails, bearing the Tail Beast’s coat form, and withstood a Crescent Moon Sky Strike.

The battle thus commenced, and aside from Mr. Fantastic, the other three fighters all possessed high-speed movement abilities. The clashes were so fast that only afterimages were visible and ear-splitting booms could be heard.

Wherever the afterimages passed, the rail tracks tore apart, tiles shattered, and the concrete collapsed.

Gouchen, fighting against three, grew increasingly excited while Naruto and Kurosaki Ichigo were somewhat restrained—

Firstly, being underground, they couldn’t use wide-range attacks, lest they collapse the tunnel.

Secondly, they had to continuously prevent Gouchen from flying into the tunnel to the next platform, or directly flying out of the subway, lest he slaughter more citizens of Toy City.

Lastly, Gouchen’s dual swords were incredibly sharp, perfectly countering Mr. Fantastic’s rubber form. The two fighters often had to split their attention to protect their comrade.

As for Li Cheng...

He lay among a pile of corpses, professionally playing dead, and to mask the sound of his breathing, even specially equipped a Silent Fan on his back using Assembly Puppet’s Special Effect.

Beside him, Gray Rain was doing the same, quietly stretching out a hand to write a message on Li Cheng’s palm.

"Watching these powerhouses fight—so thrilling and exhilarating!"

"Shh, don’t move. We’re supposed to be corpses right now."

Li Cheng wrote back: "True, it’s way better than a Hollywood blockbuster. Now Hollywood films don’t even hire martial arts directors, it’s all CGI."

Seeing Gouchen and others moved to the other side of the platform, Li Cheng and Gray Rain leisurely twisted their heads while still keeping their slanted eyes and twisted mouth expressions of corpses, continuing to spectate.

Two bodies without pulse, heartbeat, or breathing sound surprisingly turned their heads, which would have been quite terrifying on any other film set.

And at the battleground’s center, the battle gradually drew to a close.

Gouchen, after consuming a plethora of Life Potions, showed negative effects. His neck, arms, chest skin exhibited a scale-like texture, his right eye was bloodshot, and three fingers on his left hand along with his left ear were gone.

The tolerance to Life Potion had reached a critical threshold.

Across him, Kurosaki Ichigo and Mr. Fantastic were covered in wounds, and the chakra-healing Naruto, while having worn the Tail Beast coat and thus carrying minor visible injuries, also appeared somewhat fatigued.

"Ptui."

Gouchen spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground, his teeth stained with blood. He swept through the three City Hall enforcers with a provocative glare, his voice hoarse, "Why stop fighting?"

"Your Erosion Level balance," Kurosaki Ichigo tilted his head and said coldly, "isn’t much left, is it?"

City Hall, having communicated with Eugene, was aware of the setting known as "Erosion Level" on outsiders, which accumulated a value with each use of Spiritual Power.

Being mobbed, Gouchen had no chance to hold back. The [Barbaric Guardian Shield] was also a major consumer of Spiritual Power.

His Erosion Level was probably on its last legs.

"Besides,"

Naruto picked up the conversation, eyes locked on the short sword in Gouchen’s hand, "that sword of yours is really annoying."

"Realized?"

Gouchen squinted his eyes, tightening his grip on the continuously vibrating and humming sword handle.

[Item Name: Female Sword·Earth Evil]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Attack Power: Relatively strong]

[Special Effect: Soul Absorption. Each successful attack will steal a small portion of the target’s temporary Attribute Values, not exceeding 50% of its own base Attributes. Using the Soul Absorption effect against others will force a hostile state, cannot be used on oneself]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooling Time: 10 seconds]

[Use conditions: None]

[Note: Attribute theft only occurs in close matches; the stolen temporary Attribute Values last up to 30 minutes. When maximum theft is achieved, Female Sword·Earth Evil enters a 24-hour cooling period]

[Note: Whose Attribute Values are these? If no one claims them, I’ll take them.]

[Note: This equipment is bound and can only be dropped after death. Current bound object—Gouchen]

This Earth Evil Short Sword was the reason Gouchen dared to face three enemies alone without asking for Li Cheng’s help,

Its soul absorption effect can be described as extremely domineering, even an ordinary person, as long as they kill enough, can become a little superman with all attributes at 7.5.

(Even the Charm Attribute can be stolen, and stealing enough transforms one’s appearance beautifully, making it suitable for offline real-life meetings or use before blind dates)

The only downside is that it can only be used against opponents of similar strength, otherwise one could simply raise a group of hamsters, sacrificing them during combat.

The initial probing and consumption have ended, and what comes next is... the decisive battle.

"Rubber Machine Gun! Rubber Spiral Bomb! Rubber Siege Cannon! Rubber Battle Axe!"

Mr. Magic loudly called out another rubber man’s skills, his limbs extendable and continually bombarding Gouchen, finally shouting: "Rubber Net!"

His fingers interlocked, stretched out long, and intertwined with each other, enveloping the front like a fishing net.

Gouchen also knew that he must not be trapped, his two Iron Swords moved quickly to slice, severing the rubber net.

The fingers connected to the heart, Mr. Magic sweated profusely from the pain, yet still forcibly tightens the net, wrapping Gouchen tightly, locking his limbs in a reverse joint grip.

Without needing Mr. Magic to prompt, Kurosaki Ichigo gripped his Soul Cutting Sword with both hands, launching a diagonal Crescent Moon Sky Strike forward.

The surging blade light, like waves, attacked repeatedly, making Gouchen’s hair stand on end, fighting his instincts to seek benefits and avoid harm, he managed to withstand this Crescent Moon Sky Strike solely with his Protective Sword Light, without using the [Barbaric Guardian Shield] for blocking.

Boom!

The rubber net disintegrated and disappeared, Mr. Magic’s ten fingers all broke, fresh blood spurted wildly, Gouchen himself was thrust into the subway tunnel’s dome by the Crescent Moon Sky Strike.

A bigger threat was still below...

Naruto appeared in the middle of the subway tracks, limbs on the ground, positioned right beneath Gouchen.

The chakra leaking from his body rapidly escalated, his skin cracked like paper piece by piece, pupils turned into red vertical slits, and his Tail Beast cloak grew a fourth tail.

He, or rather it, took a deep breath, the beastly chest billowed high, brewing vast energy, then expelled it.

The wild energy blasted at Gouchen, who at the last moment pulled out the [Barbaric Guardian Shield] and strived to alter the trajectory of this energy beam called "Tail Beast Jade."

As described, the great barbaric shield could only reflect frontal attacks, the Tail Beast Jade’s range was too wide, the energy level too high, directly shattering the steel-reinforced concrete dome and several meters thick rock layers,

Gouchen was bathed in it, as if located at the mouth of a raging volcano, blown high up, emerging above ground alongside skyscrapers.

He curled up behind the shield, desperately gulping down a large Life Potion with his left hand to heal injuries, struggling to hold the shield with his broken right hand,

Trying his best to reflect a part of the Tail Beast Jade’s energy beam, striking far into the suburban forest, destroying numerous trees.

The aftershock of Tail Beast Jade finally dissipated,

At this moment, the entire urban area above the subway station had been sealed off and put under martial law, with no civilians in sight, only several Divine Eagle Gunboats hovering in the distant sky.

Before the gunners on the gunboats could react, Gouchen, having just consumed the Life Potion, sensed a strong threat again.

It did not come from beneath, nor from the rotary laser cannons on those gunboats, but from... the distant high-rise.

"Ant!"

He shouted loudly, using his remaining strength to raise the shield in front of him,

The next second, a golden arrow, spear-like, flying from a great distance, pierced through the shield, stabbed into Gouchen’s abdomen, and sent him flying, crashing heavily into a district of low-rise buildings, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Ant?

Inside the subway tunnel, the three enforcers from City Hall and the pilots of the Divine Eagle Gunboats, all heard Gouchen’s agonizing scream, their expressions surprised, bewildered, or suddenly realizing.

Then, among those lifeless bodies,

Li Cheng, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, suddenly sprang up, with one hand he collected Gray Rain using an Electronic Pet Egg, with the other he fired the Bat Hook, dashing out of the subway station at an unimaginable speed,

The moment he emerged above ground, he drew the Electromagnetic Gun, loaded a Servant Demon shaped like a paper crane, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The Electromagnetic Railgun, carrying the projectile loaded with the paper crane, shot towards the direction from which the golden arrow had come.

Also, in the direction of Eugene.
