Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 926 - 70: Yuan1 eye_3

The Divine Envoy of Heavenly Punishment's divine robe was light red.

[I've never seen this before. A creature with glowing red eyes is already incredibly eerie—this is typically a trait of celestial beings. Yet it can't possibly be one; beings of my master's caliber are so rare that there have only been seven in tens of thousands of years. Strange, truly strange.]

Heavenly Punishment, alongside Life and Death, flanked Song Que in a pincer formation.

Song Que was unclear about the abilities of these two divine officials and dared not act rashly for the moment.

Not only could he not act recklessly, he found himself unable to act at all.

The oppressive force of these two calamities made Song Que feel as though his feet were weighed down with lead.

The Divine Envoy of Life and Death spoke:

[Good and Evil claims to bring life and death together, yet it has no idea who would triumph compared to my sacrificial abilities.]

Ominous, greenish-black mist engulfed the heavens and earth. Song Que instinctively sensed danger and, without hesitation, shifted into 96% of his beast transformation state.

Immediately, the forces suppressing Song Que noticeably weakened.

In terms of power, speed, and physique, all of Song Que's attributes saw massive improvement.

It's worth noting that the enhancements brought by this beast transformation weren't linear.

The higher the percentage, the more exaggerated the spikes in power became.

At this moment, Song Que had attained the capability to brawl head-on with a calamity-class being.

Yet, in the eyes of the two divine officials, he still appeared somewhat weak.

The greenish-black domain greedily siphoned away Song Que's life force. Within Song Que's own domain, both his life and his opponent's lives were diminished.

However, the Divine Envoy of Life and Death possessed sacrificial abilities.

Any life force lost by an opponent, regardless of the cause—even self-inflicted damage—would be absorbed by it.

Such an ability was an extreme counter to Song Que's powers.

Nonetheless, Song Que did not immediately flee far away; he merely retreated within a short radius.

...

...

Several days ago, in Baichuan City.

"If we don't communicate with Song Que, how can we ensure he understands our battle plan? He's not clairvoyant, and—"

Li Xiaoyu's office had already transformed into a central command room. Mid-sentence, she suddenly stopped.

Tang Jing chuckled and said:

"Song Que *is* clairvoyant. Although his foresight isn't as far-reaching as the Endless Turtle's, the Endless Turtle cannot match Song Que's closer, more precise vision. The Eye of the Balance is such a rare talent that even among us Children of Order, it is exceptionally unique."

Li Xiaoyu began to understand.

Tang Jing continued:

"I've been observing. At the site of Song Que's last victory over Good and Evil, he left a mark. That mark leads directly to a specific woodland. And our sniper has already prepared an ambush there based on this mark."

"Sniper?"

"Yes, sniper. And one of the deadliest kind."

...

...

Mining area, the Lonely Man and Woman Grove.

Under the clash between the two divine envoys and Song Que, the Lonely Man and Woman Grove was on the verge of becoming an Uncovered Wilderness.

However, this destruction had made the grove's view considerably clearer.

Far away, thousands of meters from the grove, Yuan Wu clutched one eye and stared at the Divine Envoy of Life and Death, saying:

"Miss Ju Mang was a bit redundant, but fortunately Lord Song Que held firm. Still, Lord Song Que… has become truly terrifying."

"Have you locked on?" Akasi asked beside him.

"No issues here."

"Then send it straight to hell with one look."

"Got it!"

Silver-white hair swayed as twisted space shimmered within Yuan Wu's pupils.

His combat power was still far from matching these calamity-level beings, but the power of the Mirror Eye was inherently terrifying—an ability that even judges found troublesome.

Over the past few months, Yuan Wu had undergone modifications from the Order faction, focusing solely on one task: enhancing every aspect of the Mirror Eye's performance apart from its raw power, fully weaponizing the Mirror Eye as a usable tool in combat.

On the battlefield thousands of meters away, the Divine Envoy of Life and Death watched as Song Que continued his relentless struggle and evasive maneuvers, unable to escape the fate of his life force being drained to zero, bit by bit. Its laughter was filled with cruelty.

But in the next second, that laughter abruptly stopped.

It was as if it had suddenly stepped into another dimension. The Divine Envoy of Life and Death instantly felt all connections to the mining area severed. Then, strange energy began ripping its body apart!

This sequence of events took what felt like an eternity, lasting a full ten seconds. Yet because of the sheer strangeness of it, Heavenly Punishment refrained from acting during those ten seconds; it was still unclear as to what had transpired.

Only when the spatial disturbance settled back into calm.

Thousands of meters away, Yuan Wu blinked a few times and calmly declared:

"Kill confirmed. One left."
