Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 927 - 71: A Major Event is Imminent

There is no combination or strategy that Song Que cannot execute.

Last summer, within the abyss, he glimpsed a vision of the future and launched a collaborative attack with Tang Xian.

Back then, to Song Que, the entire human camp could not compare to Tang Xian alone.

But now it's different—there are many other formidable individuals among the humans besides Tang Xian.

They are now capable of holding their own.

Song Que had never seen Yuan Wu employ the Eye of Mirrors, so he had no way to gauge from whom this powerful long-range killing ability originated.

Yet within the future seen through the Eye of Balance, there was another familiar silhouette.

Several kilometers away on the battlefield, Yuan Wu said:

"The other Divine Envoy seems to have sensed something amiss and is desperately trying to evade."

Yuan Wu's ability was to obliterate whatever was within his sight, but if the vision was obstructed, then there was nothing he could do.

The bizarre death of the Divine Envoy of Life and Death caused Heavenly Punishment to feel an immense sense of danger.

Thus, snapping out of its shock, it immediately summoned dozens of pillars of light, forming a protective barrier around itself.

These light pillars continuously expanded, seemingly aiming to create a seamless enclosure.

"I'll drag it out."

As Akasi finished saying this, his entire being vanished.

The tyrant creations modified by Qi Yuan weren't limited to Yuan Wu alone.

Yuan Wu had honed the Eye of Mirrors into an ideal weapon for ultra-long-distance strikes, while Akasi had turned his own body into a weapon.

The scene before him rapidly receded as Akasi's abyss-like presence shot like light into the gaps between the light pillars.

The God Envoy of Heavenly Punishment was undeniably a being above calamity. After the Divine Envoy of Life and Death was unexpectedly struck down, it spread its Divine Sense, but what shocked it was that the enemy was thousands of meters away.

What kind of monster could kill life and death from thousands of meters away?

Could this monster be an ally of that unknown creature right in front of it?

Its thoughts had yet to conclude when it sensed an aura rapidly approaching.

Even more terrifying, as it became aware of this aura nearing, the opponent already appeared directly before it.

A human being enveloped in crimson flame-like radiance.

The God Envoy of Heavenly Punishment had never encountered such a human.

Akasi's figure stood directly in front of Song Que.

Akasi had witnessed Song Que's entire process of beast-like transformation, and thus struggled to imagine how the once dashing Song Que had ended up in this current state.

Every individual who seeks to grow powerful must pay an enormous price.

The fiery red slashes continuously landed on the God Envoy of Heavenly Punishment.

Heavenly Punishment attempted to summon golden light pillars to annihilate Akasi, only to find in shock that this human's speed had reached an almost teleportation-like level. Even as the space available for him to move grew smaller and smaller, within those narrowing confines, he was still able to execute such blisteringly fast movements.

[How is this possible! Mere humans, capable of such speed! But you will never break through my defenses!]

This wasn't an empty boast.

Even the ones in control couldn't grant the two tyrant creations impossibly overwhelming powers; purely in terms of combat metrics, Yuan Wu and Akasi weren't yet capable of countering a calamity-level entity.

However, one had elevated speed to its peak, while the other had maximized destructive force.

Akasi was exceptionally fast, and his attack power had significantly improved, but he still couldn't deliver effective damage to a caliber like Heavenly Punishment.

The God Envoy of Heavenly Punishment had already calmed itself:

[After the surrounding vegetation was annihilated, life and death perished. When divine radiance descended and obscured the area, that force which destroyed life and death hasn't appeared even now. That means the opponent likely needs to see the target to launch an attack.]

[Though this monster capable of wreaking havoc upon good and evil is terrifying, as long as I don't attack it, I'll remain unharmed. And it cannot match my speed. Though this human is absurdly fast, he cannot keep up with me!]

[As for the creature that eliminated life and death from the farthest reaches, all I need to do is kill it outside of its line of sight. Hmph, three mere ants!]

In a matter of moments, Heavenly Punishment had devised a counter-strategy.

The vast majority of its divine radiance was used to block the sight of that lethal, unknown enemy in the distance—this was why it couldn't summon all of its divine radiance to obliterate the entire battlefield outright. This granted Akasi some room to maneuver, albeit minimal.

Song Que's domain had already enveloped Heavenly Punishment.

Heavenly Punishment paid it no mind, completely unaware that disaster was looming—it had miscalculated one critical factor.

That was, though Song Que was often composed, he had also experienced moments of madness triggered by personal encounters.

When a man like this goes berserk, he becomes someone so ruthless he wouldn't hesitate to hurt even himself.

As Song Que's domain enveloped Heavenly Punishment, and as Heavenly Punishment confidently believed itself to be standing in an invincible position, Song Que suddenly tore his own chest open, exposing the fragile heart within.

The pulsating organ connected to countless blood vessels appeared infinitely more vulnerable than the skin as hard as rock.

Boiling beast-blood poured out continuously; both Akasi and Heavenly Punishment were utterly stunned.

This was a moment of madness that shocked them both.

Then, in a weak voice, Song Que said:

[Attack its heart.]

Akasi might not have fully understood the meaning of these words, but he could grasp the situation.

Because as Song Que performed this self-destructive act, Akasi noticed that the previously stunned Heavenly Punishment suddenly emitted the anguished roar of a beast.

The chest of Heavenly Punishment was torn open by an invisible force! Golden, oil-like blood flowed profusely.

The heart, which starkly resembled that of a human, was exposed.

Akasi instantly transformed into streaks of red light, along with countless afterimages, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks that turned the entire battlefield into a storm of crimson rage.
