[Thanks to the generous reward from League Leader Ragnarous!]_2 Slap!
A hand clutched the hilt of the long spear.
Zeng Chuan discarded the counter and tried to snatch Hua Yue Yu’s long spear, after all, even the worst weapon was better than a table, “I’ll take you there!”
Zeng Chuan got anxious and kicked at Hua Yue Yu’s abdomen.
The female anchor deftly dodged to the side and, taking advantage of the momentum, punched Zeng Chuan right in the eye socket.
If it had been an ordinary woman’s fist, it couldn’t have possibly hit Zeng Chuan, but this was Divine Grace.
Zeng Chuan hadn’t even reacted before he was hit by the punch, and immediately he felt dizzy, like he had drunk too much while eating skewers on a summer street, completely intoxicated; he even smelled a hint of alcohol.
It actually smelled quite nice.
Hua Yue Yu tried to pull the long spear back, but it was too late.
Several guards thrust their long spears at her and Zeng Chuan.
The female anchor dodged, but the drunken Zeng Chuan reacted half a beat too slow.
The long spear pierced his body, and blood splattered out.
“It’s over, I’m dead for sure!”
Hua Yue Yu despaired, but just then, the bodies of those guards crumbled away like weathered rocks, cracking and breaking into pieces.
Their armor and weapons were no exception.
Hua Yue Yu instinctively looked towards Lin Baici on the Deer Platform.
The guards who had been surrounding him and Xia Hongyao were even more numerous, but now all of them had disintegrated, although Wang rushed over.
Lin Baici roared, abandoning Guo Zheng, and charged towards Wang with Xia Hongyao.
The Deer Platform was the core structure of the Star Plucking Palace; once it was burned down, Wang’s immortality would be broken, and the guards, eunuchs, and even the singing maidens would turn to dust in an instant.
“Let’s take it down!”
Guo Zheng yelled, and he wasn’t idle either; he tore his hemp robe into strips and fashioned a rope to bind his broken leg and stem the bleeding.
Wang Mingfu paid no attention to what was happening on the Deer Platform.
He had been worried about how to break out of the encirclement of guards in front, but they had all crumbled away unexpectedly.
Truly, fortune favors me!
Wang Mingfu burst with joy.
The Deer Platform had already caught a raging fire, and the platform of the Star Plucking Palace began showing cracks, teetering on the edge of collapse.
Stones from the walls started to fall off.
Everyone was fleeing, except for Hua Yue Yu; no one stayed behind.
Tang Zhiqian, who had already run down more than thirty steps, turned back and ran up again.
He thought that if there were still monsters below, he might be doomed.
Following Lin Baici now seemed the safest option.
At this moment, Tang Zhiqian decided to bet his life on Lin Baici being able to kill the monster who claimed to be the king.
He looked towards Xiao Li.
The pale-faced dead eunuch had also turned to dust, but it was too late for Xiao Li, who had already been strangled by him.
If only Xiao Li had held on a little longer, and he felt somewhat guilty that if he had stepped in to help, they might have been able to last until the eunuch crumbled.
But there are no ifs in life.
Tang Zhiqian’s gaze involuntarily fell on Xiao Li’s left ear, where there was an earring.
He had gone with Xiao Li to get that ear pierced.
Muscle Buddha squared off against the king.
“Red Medicine, don’t rush; first, wear it down,” Lin Baici advised, not saying everything he knew; apart from wearing down the king, they also needed to test what kind of attacks it had.
However, he thought Xia Hongyao would understand; otherwise, if he said it outright, the king might hold back.
Xia Hongyao was confident in combat.
“You two, hide,” Lin Baici instructed, sweeping a glance and taking in the whole situation at the Star Plucking Palace.
Everyone else was running further down; Hua Yue Yu and Tang Zhiqian stayed behind, which was very dangerous.
The king faced the incoming Muscle Buddha, attempting a sword kill.
Muscle Buddha didn’t dodge or avoid, throwing out a punch directly!
Muscle Buddha deflected the Bronze Sword and then threw another punch with lightning speed, landing firmly on the king’s face.
The king staggered backward.
Muscle Buddha immediately followed up, dropping into a lunge and twisting his body, fists swinging!
Muscle Buddha’s fists, as heavy as a discus, rained down like a meteor shower, landing solidly on the king, hitting his face and body, completely drowning him in a flurry of punches.
“[Useless; this ingredient’s weak point is its left eye, where there’s a small piece of God’s bones.]”
“[It possesses Divine Grace King’s Gaze, making everyone within three meters stiff as wood if they catch its eye.]”
“[Don’t make eye contact, or if it lasts more than five seconds, it can enslave you, forcing you to act on its command.]”
“[It also has Divine Grace Flesh Resurrection; it can immediately recover from any injury as long as it consumes flesh that has just died!]”
Eater God commented. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net
“[Overall, it’s a quite troubling ingredient, not much in quantity and extremely annoying, better left uneaten!]”
Lin Baici certainly didn’t want to eat it, but the key point was that the king wouldn’t let them leave.
“Red Medicine, Guo Zheng, don’t make eye contact; I have a feeling there’s something wrong with its eyes!” Lin Baici warned without being able to be too explicit, hinting in this way.
Because her intelligence was at D and she trusted Lin Baici, she didn’t even consider how Lin Baici had come to that conclusion.
As for Guo Zheng, who was trying to crawl to the side, attempting to distance himself from the battlefield, he couldn’t help but frown, puzzled.
Did Lin Baici possess other powerful Divine Graces that could ascertain enemy information?
Otherwise, why avoid eye contact?
Normally, the eyes are the windows to the soul; many thoughts and intentions can be seen through a person’s eyes.
In such a battle, observing the opponent’s eyes to gauge their condition and intent is basic tactics.
