Chapter 613: Chapter 285: Slaying the God

As Li Changhe analyzed Xue Shen’s abilities, Xue Shen was naturally studying his as well.

Using the Black Eagle to perform the Shadow Step was quite easy to detect. Therefore, Li Changhe deliberately did not use other units to move positions.

When Xue Shen thought that he had seen through Li Changhe’s tactics, he likewise stepped into another arrangement set by Li Changhe.

Li Changhe never thought of using the White Mist Tactic to kill the newly promoted Chaos God’s Chosen. What he wanted to do was to use the White Mist as a disguise and set up these bone weapons scattered everywhere.

Admittedly, this required a lot of Li Changhe’s energy and attention. He had to cast Fivefold Bone Gate multiple times, turning hundreds of bone pieces into the shape of weapons.

This idea came to Li Changhe when he was considering using bricks to grant divinity to his enemies.

The duration of the bone pieces is not long, and they become even shorter after being given divinity. However, Li Changhe was using these bone weapons as consumables.

By the time Xue Shen discovered the setup around him, he had already entered the battlefield prepared by Li Changhe and was approaching the Extraordinary Soldier, Li Changhe!

Why not take this opportunity?

When the nameless tune sounded, the demon of slaughter descended.

Even the chaos minions attacking the players and remaining soldiers outside the city walls shuddered.

"That is..." A player got a chance to catch his breath, but he also felt something was wrong: "An Extraordinary Soldier! It’s no wonder it’s Great Wall Yang Dong, it’s actually an Extraordinary Soldier!"

"Quick, speed up and support Yang Dong. He won’t last long! How many seconds does a player’s Extraordinary Soldier last?" A player shouted.

Yang Dong, the real Brother Dong, didn’t even have time to be angry. He swung his hands quickly, pulverizing the enemies in front of him.

He naturally knew that Li Changhe was an Extraordinary Soldier, and his close combat capabilities were formidable. Cangyue Ming once told him that after activating the Extraordinary Soldier, Li Changhe had killed the elite Volga of the Black Palace within tens of seconds.

But...

"Are you really prepared to do this? Once the Extraordinary Soldier exceeds the time limit, you will be as good as dead," Yang Dong worried in his heart, ignoring the players’ misunderstanding and trying to quickly break through the Blood Tide to support Li Changhe.

On the other hand, Xue Shen seemed to see Li Changhe turning into a demon with a blue face and sharp teeth in a trance.

Bone weapons floated in mid-air while the hairs behind him surged.

Compared with himself, Li Changhe was more like a God’s Chosen passionate about war and slaughter.

Xue Shen took a breath and swung his sword to meet the attack. He knew he had been tricked.

The biggest weakness of the Black Mud Sufferer was the consumption of weapons, but now Li Changhe had created an area where any weapon was available at hand. Each weapon in his hands would be given divinity, greatly increasing its power and toughness.

Even if each weapon could only maintain its form for a few seconds, this amount was more than enough.

With his combat skills as an Extraordinary Soldier, he was indeed almost invincible in this environment.

However, Xue Shen also knew that blindly retreating would be even more dangerous.

He had fought with Extraordinary Soldiers before and knew their characteristics and limitations.

Next, he had to use all his skills to survive this most dangerous attack.

Either he would drag out this period and kill the weakened Li Changhe with a single slash.

Or he would die in the rapid analysis of the Extraordinary Soldier.

"Very well, let’s settle the score!"

Since there was no retreat, he might as well fight!

Xue Shen did not hesitate to swing his horizontal blade.

"If you die, I will be free from the White King!"

"If I die, the Blood River will abandon this world!"

"Let’s decide the outcome!"

The fight instantly reached a feverish intensity.

If someone were present at this moment, they would probably be shocked by this cruel battle.

Unfortunately, except for the existence above the black cloud, no one could see this scene.

Li Changhe could maintain the Extraordinary Soldier for up to 62 seconds. Once this time was exceeded, his body would be unable to support it.

On the contrary, during these 62 seconds, Xue Shen would go through the most difficult period of his life.

For the first thirty seconds, no matter how Li Changhe attacked, Xue Shen showed no flaws.

At the thirty-second mark, Xue Shen’s right hand was used to interfere with Li Changhe’s bone sword through divinity, making it dull for a moment. As a result, a deep wound was cut into his abdomen.

Li Changhe remained indifferent, allowing Yun Ting’s hair to stitch him up. He took another bone axe, granted it divinity, and slammed it towards Xue Shen’s head.

The next second, the handle of the bone axe in Li Changhe’s hand was cut off, and his shoulder was pierced by a horizontal blade.

However, at the moment of breaking, Li Changhe had already thrown the axe blade out, triggering the Hundred-Headed Shooter at an exceedingly close distance!

Xue Shen wanted to interfere again through divinity, but the distance was too close. Even though the axe blade changed direction, Xue Shen still lost half of his palm.

Xue Shen’s gaze flickered as he stepped back, and the blood from his wounds surged, beginning to heal.

Both of them were experiencing divinity for the first time. Their grasp of divine power was deepening through combat. Their fighting strength was continuously increasing while they were also getting familiar with each other’s abilities.

In the thirty-ninth second, Li Changhe concealed his left hand holding a spear while swinging his bone sword to defend.

The next second, the bone spear in his hand broke into two pieces on its own. Half of it blocked the horizontal slash, and with skillful control, he aimed the front of the spear at Xue Shen and accelerated it, triggering the Hundred-Headed Shooter.

The spearhead moved at an unimaginable speed, successfully breaking through Xue Shen’s defense, cutting across his shoulder, and penetrating a row of buildings behind him.

Xue Shen, not to be outdone, flicked his horizontal slash, sending a flurry of sword blossoms that shaved off Li Changhe’s mask and revealed his bloodstained face.

Both of them now had multiple wounds on their bodies, but their fighting had become more fierce.

Li Changhe, in his Extraordinary Soldier state, had gradually analyzed Xue Shen’s moves.

In the fifty-sixth second, Xue Shen’s hands could hardly move anymore. He activated a divine light curtain to buy himself time.

This was his trump card. The light curtain could absorb attacks and push them back—the stronger the attack, the stronger the explosion.

He could already feel Li Changhe’s body reaching its limit. As long as he could stall a little longer, he could win!

"Die!" Facing the divine light curtain that had once caused him suffering, Li Changhe gripped his trusty companion, Old Lead, and slammed it heavily onto the blood-colored light curtain.

The cracks on Old Lead transformed into a large mouth full of sharp teeth, biting into the light curtain. It was like tearing through some kind of rubber-like substance as Li Changhe pulled it forcefully. The divine light curtain was torn apart!

Li Changhe took another step closer to Xue Shen.

There was no more time. He had already analyzed all of Xue Shen’s combat rhythms. The outcome would be decided by the next move!

Xue Shen stretched out a hand to hold onto Old Lead, forcibly shutting its large mouth with one hand, twisting Li Changhe’s elbow with a dexterous maneuver, and smashed Old Lead back into Li Changhe’s chest, breaking the protective mirror of his Mountain Pattern Armor.

This was too much. It used to be Li Changhe who would swing Old Lead around and smash all sorts of demons and monsters, but now he was being counterattacked.

With Old Lead’s smash, Li Changhe’s body shook, almost being forced to exit his extraordinary soldier state.

Even after activating the Extraordinary Soldier transformation, reducing weapon damage by 50%, it was no guarantee of safety in such combat.

But it was enough!

Effect of the Black Sheep Cloak behind him got triggered, extending several weapon-like arms to brace against the ground and stop his body from being sent backward.

"Forward! Just one more step, just one more step!" Li Changhe swallowed the blood in his mouth and gritted his teeth as he controlled his body.

He took the last step!

At the cost of half his palm being cut open, Li Changhe successfully grabbed the weakened section of Xue Shen’s horizontal slash.

Then, with the power of the Black Mud Divinity, he analyzed and took control, forcibly seizing Xue Shen’s weapon!

Xue Shen immediately let go and clenched both of his fists. He landed a punch in Li Changhe’s chest, almost piercing through it. The sound of fractured bones could be heard, as if they had punctured his internal organs.

However, Li Changhe didn’t even think about dodging. Instead, he activated Revenge Counterattack right away! An astonishing amount of heat emanated from his body, which was on the verge of reaching its limit. His heart was racing, his blood boiling, and the moisture in his body evaporated in an instant. This was his last chance.

There was no going back!

The weapon-like cloak braced against the ground, preventing the distance between them from widening.

With his right hand still gripping the blade, he stabbed Xue Shen in the side and twisted it forcefully!

...

Li Changhe collapsed on the ground, his body emanating incredible heat like a sword being quenched. The puddles of water on the ground evaporated instantly from his body’s heat.

Meanwhile, the long-lost malice in his mind finally arrived.

Hateful words filled his mind, babbling incessantly.

It seemed that with his defeat of Xue Shen, the effect of Will of Desperation had disappeared.

Li Changhe breathed heavily. But, it didn’t matter anymore... He had done everything he could.

Not far away from him, Xue Shen lay down, the sword having pierced through the door to his heart. As life was hanging by a thread, he looked up at the black cloud in the sky. For some reason, he asked softly, "Original body... after you retire your armor... what kind of shop do you plan to open?"

Li Changhe didn’t understand why this clone asked such a question at the last moment.

A shop? You have the gene of the Working Emperor, and you’re thinking of opening a store?

Furthermore, players don’t have a concept of retiring armor.

However, this guy was dying anyway, so he answered, "If I have to pick, it’d be a noodle shop. There’s a girl who likes watching me eat noodles."

"It seems we really are different. I am me, not some substitute." Xue Shen laughed lightly. If it were up to him, he would choose a bookstore. Someone else liked the way he looked when he was telling stories from books.

"Cough, cough... Of course, it’s different. I am stronger than you." Li Changhe coughed blood in response.

Xue Shen gave no further response, his pupils dimming as he died.

A few seconds later, Li Changhe faintly heard a woman’s cry of despair.
