Chapter 614: Chapter 286: After the Battle

Yun Ting’s hair was wrapped around Li Changhe’s limbs, controlling his body to hide in the nearest alley.

Despite successfully killing the Chaos Chosen, danger still lurked within Yuezhou City.

The Chaos Believers and Chaos Warriors within the city who had planned to support Xue Shen were still on their way.

If they ran into them, Li Changhe didn’t think he would fare well.

Outside the city walls, there were thousands of Chaos servants.

Li Changhe had exhausted too much of his strength. He was far from his peak condition. Nowhere was safe for him.

The cost of coming into contact with the Black Mud made his head feel heavy. The incessantly hateful voices echoed in his mind, as if they were trying to pull him into an endless abyss. Fortunately, he was still able to tolerate it without utilizing his Divine strength.

The side effects of the Extraordinary Soldier strength, on the other hand, caused his bodily functions to malfunction.

His heart rate shot up, his blood boiled, and the sweat and blood on his body were rapidly evaporating.

It would be terrible to face the enemy in this condition.

Collapsed under a section of a broken wall, Li Changhe downed half a bottle of healing potion.

The slightly sweet medicine flowed into his throat, and the wounds on his body began to slowly heal.

Looking at the fresh buds of flesh growing to heal the flesh-deep wound on his hand, the bleeding had stopped. But the wound was not healing.

Some force was interfering with the recovery.

No matter, he had already succeeded.

He did not disappoint those who had placed their trust in him before their deaths. He had killed the Chaos Chosen!

Dog Brother had also been blown away by the divine light curtain and was now nowhere to be seen.

He had activated his Extraordinary Soldier strength and maintained it until the extreme limit.

Even the Extraordinary Soldier strength, famed for invincibility in close combat, had left him in this condition. This was the first time he had suffered such wounds in melee since obtaining the Extraordinary Soldier strength.

The Black Mud Curse, furthermore, was used on himself. If not for the Will of Desperation, he might have descended into madness the moment he used his divinity, right?

He had used up all his possible tricks, and his physical and energy levels were both below 35%. He had killed Xue Shen in a very extreme manner.

But the task had not ended.

[Task Objective 1: Eliminate Chaos. Current Progress: 57.232%]

This requires the joint efforts of players from all regions and the forces of the Great Tang, and is unlikely to be completed in a short time.

[Task Objective 2: Stop the Chaos Believers’ Raising Demon Ritual][This area has failed, unlocking the third task objective]

[Task Objective 3: Kill the Chaos God’s Chosen in this area. Kill the target. Blood River’s Chosen, Xue Shen][Completed, the contribution ratio of each player will be calculated after the task ends.]

This indeed reeks of the Evolution Game’s fickleness. After failing to stop the Raising Demon Ritual, the players were forced to engage in even more dangerous tasks, but with more rewarding outcomes.

However, no matter how rewarding the rewards for completing Task Objective 3 may be, many players probably wouldn’t want to face the God’s Chosen, would they?

There’s also no telling whether the other areas had encounters like Xue Shen. He hoped that they could hold on.

[Current Players Involved: 241]

From the emergence of Chaos to the present, it had only been several hours, and already more than half of the players had either died in battle or left the instance.

Moreover, this number was still rising.

With a player mortality rate exceeding 50%,

"If I had really believed in this so-called Blood River, then the players in the mission would have had me as their killing target," thought Li Changhe, that Evil God sure laid a lot of traps for him.

Once believed in the Blood River, whether Li Changhe could maintain his sanity or not, he would become a target for [Players]. Talk about a bad deal.

The rewards of this mission are unknown for now, but Li Changhe’s losses are truly substantial.

Of the [Piercing Arrows] he synthesized, Li Changhe made eleven in total, and now only three remained in his bag.

After killing countless enemies, the [Jet Mo Blade] was already chipped, and then permeated by the Black Mud Divinity, it was almost reduced to scrap iron. He was unsure if it would still be useful if he tried to forge it anew or synthesize it later.

Lastly, there was the [Divine Gifted Grass].

The moment he consumed the Mang Grass, Li Changhe saw those with divinity.

He also saw the titanic figure just about to leave the blood-red throne, but the Blood River was probably blocked by the First Emperor.

"Are they all watching?"

Li Changhe forced his head up to watch as the black clouds lingering in the sky slowly dissipated. The beings beyond human comprehension were looking down on the world from above.

Was his battle with Xue Shen merely a game of chance between the Great Tang and that Evil God? What was the bet?

Instead of pondering upon this question that would waste his mental energy, Li Changhe reminded himself he had consumed the Divine Gifted Grass.

There was a high probability he was quietly compelled into believing in a Divine Existence. Although he was still unclear about many things.

Nevertheless, according to Chen Guang’s account, this could be a big problem.

Once in contact with a Divine Existence, the believer’s personality and behavior will be influenced.

Chen Guang appeared to have experienced this situation, but he...took a radical measure. He had somehow managed to defeat the existence he once believed in.

Li Changhe had understood some of this during his time on the Dream Cruise.

At that time, The Abnormality of Divinity on the fifth floor, the Heart Stealer, had mistaken Chen Guang for the God’s Chosen of a certain deity.

However Bai Ye had stated, Chen Guang was a Usurper of God Slaying.

That was the first time Li Changhe saw Chen Guang exert his full strength, a single strike had shattered the once Noah’s Ark.

Unexpectedly, this big-eyed, bushy-eyed fellow, Chen Guang, was a Divine Creature.

Now he wondered, what had he been forced to believe in?

As Li Changhe was contemplating, he felt the surrounding air significantly cooling down.

A girl’s figure appeared from the alley, her face adorned with traces of blood. Her blue Demon Armor had been stained bright red.

The fair skin of her arms and shoulders were marked with ghastly wounds, the blood on them already frozen into frost.

With her arrival, the moisture in the surrounding air got thicker, causing more steam to rise from Li Changhe’s body.

She drew closer to Li Changhe, leaning on her sword, then gently sat on his knees, extending her arms to wrap around Li Changhe’s neck. She nestled her forehead lightly against Li Changhe’s scorching neck.

Honestly speaking, the current temperature of Li Changhe could readily cook an egg held in his hand.

Yet she didn’t care, she held on to Li Changhe even tighter, as if afraid he would disappear.

At the same time, the maliciousness echoing in Li Changhe’s mind was greatly reduced.

Li Changhe placed his hand on the girl’s cold back, sensing her unconsciousness due to exhaustion. He then turned his gaze to the elegantly dressed old man who had appeared not far away.

It was Xia Wu.

"My cheap godfather, it’s really been a long time. I suppose, you guys have already exchanged greetings," Li Changhe knew that Xia Wu didn’t die; he was the sole connecting point between him and Li Er.

Li Er, with reason and emotion, would not sacrifice Xia Wu.

The elderly, silver-haired old man smiled and the wrinkles on his face piled up, resembling a chrysanthemum.

"Welcome back, Li Ba."
