Chapter 383 Xu Si is missing
Chapter 383 Xu Si is missing
The situation on the battlefield was now completely clear.
Of the dozen or so attackers from the Marriott convoy, less than half were still barely holding on.
The four stone giant clones of Tashan were like four moving mountains, completely surrounding the battlefield.
Every punch, every stomp, leaves deep cracks in the wasteland.
"Misu, run!"
Blade's voice came from the center of the battle, carrying a hint of determination; at this moment, he could no longer hold back in the slightest.
As the four stone giants simultaneously tightened their encirclement, their twenty-four tentacles slammed into the center of the battle.
Marriott's Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 fleets were instantly hit.
In addition, Fu Xiaojian dodged the attacks of the two flying immortals and replenished his wounds every now and then, causing those people to suffer heavy losses in a short period of time.
The blade's edge was shattered.
He had considered the possibility of failure, but he never imagined he would fail so completely.
He watched as his men teetered on the brink of collapse, yet he was powerless to save them.
Misu quickly ripped the canvas off her back; there wasn't a trace of ink left on it.
He reached out and ran his hand across his palm, drawing on it with blood.
Misu paints extremely quickly.
The crimson bloodstains spread, intertwined, and solidified on the canvas, eventually outlining the shape of a door.
That door was clearly not an ordinary door.
The door was three meters high, with dense vines and thorns wrapped around its frame. A blurry human figure was carved in the center of the door, as if it were asleep or waiting to be awakened.
"Blood Gate - Open".
As soon as Misu finished speaking, he planted the easel directly into the ground, and the easel transformed into a blood-red gate that burst open with a bang.
Behind the door was not a wasteland, nor a night sky, but a pure, thick darkness that was almost tangible.
Something was wriggling in the darkness.
Something is breathing.
Something is waiting.
"Get in! Get in!" Blade's voice boomed from the center of the battle, carrying an unquestionable command.
The first to react were not the members of the Marriott team, but the Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 members who had already been routed.
They didn't even care about their still-engaged opponents, and scrambled toward the blood-red gate.
Yang Fan tried to intercept, but was forced back by a sharp kick from Dao Feng.
At this moment, Daofeng's wild hair flew wildly, and his aura surged.
At this moment, he was like a resolute warrior who could hold off ten thousand men.
For a moment, it was able to withstand the combined attack of Su Su and Fu Xiaojian.
Hinata Aoi's large umbrella spun in the night, attempting to harvest a Sequence 2, but the person had already disappeared into the darkness behind the door.
"Tashan!" Fu Xiaojian's voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Know!"
The massive body of Tashan suddenly accelerated, and its six tentacles simultaneously slammed towards the blood-red gate.
However, Jiang Ling stopped him. It seemed that a large net had been cast from Jiang Ling's small boat. It was invisible and intangible, but it made it difficult for Ta Shan to move forward.
The blood gate was not destroyed immediately.
Under the cover of their decisive combat prowess, the Wanhao members who were able to move disappeared one after another into the Blood Gate.
"Let's go!" These were the words Blade said to Jiang Ling.
He doesn't want to take lives unless absolutely necessary.
But at this moment his attitude was very clear: either let us go or fight to the death.
Su Su and Fu Xiaojian seemed to have noticed this during their fight, so they also refrained from going all out.
However, they didn't skimp on the lessons they were supposed to learn or the interest they were supposed to collect.
For example, when Jiang Ling stopped Ta Shan, he was besieged by Fu Xiaojian and Su Su.
Under the siege of three Sequence 4s, Jiang Ling had no choice but to surrender.
Blade turned around and saw that Jiang Ling was tightly bound by Fu Xiaojian's black chains.
He originally wanted to go forward to rescue her, but when he did, Su Su had already lifted him into the air and was standing on a thin wisp of cloud, smiling at him.
Blade felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that they had been planning to take them all down all along?
When he looked away, he saw that the immobile Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 were all tightly bound by the other members of the Salvage Train team.
Seeing them quickly retreat into a defensive formation, Blade knew there was no chance left.
He could only protect Misu as they jumped into the blood gate.
The Blood Gate collapsed the instant Blade and Misu disappeared, turning into ashes that were quickly scattered by the night wind.
The easel fell from mid-air, its surface cracking with several fine lines, like a piece of shattered porcelain, landing on the ground with a dull thud.
The clamor on the battlefield came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
The massive body of the tower slowly contracted, its six tentacles retracting into its body, and the four stone giants also disappeared into the ground.
He stood there, his chest heaving, but his honest face showed an expression of lingering satisfaction.
"They ran away already?" He scratched his head, his tone relaxed.
"If you hadn't held back, they wouldn't have been able to escape!" Fu Xiaojian said.
"Heh heh, it's not like you didn't hold back. Misu was just standing there and you didn't even go up and punch him!"
Fu Xiaojian didn't say anything; he thoroughly enjoyed the battle.
To be honest, the combination of golden light, sword techniques, and the chain of punishment makes for a pretty good combat experience.
He will try to adapt to other features when he has the opportunity in the future.
This is so awesome, there's always a new combination.
At this moment on the battlefield, Shao Bing was leading the others to clean up the mess. There were two corpses lying on the ground, one a Sequence 2 from the Marriott convoy and the other a Sequence 3.
He was hit by Tashan in the initial melee and it seems his injuries were too severe to be saved.
Further away, Jiang Ling lay silently on the ground, bound tightly, his straw hat nowhere to be seen.
There were two more Sequence 2s, who were pinned to the ground by Shao Bing and Ivan, unable to move.
Hinata Aoi searched around, but Xu Si was nowhere to be found in the camp, nor here.
"Take an inventory," Fu Xiaojian said calmly.
Shao Bing strode across the battlefield, recording the number of prisoners and the spoils of war.
Three prisoners—Jiang Ling, and the two seriously injured Sequence 2s.
The loot was much more plentiful, including the broken canvas left behind by Misu, as well as three other strange items.
Two of them were rare swords and knives that had just been traded from Fu Xiaojian the night before.
The other item was Jiang Ling's strange little boat.
"You should know where Xu Si is, right?" After looking around and not finding Xu Si, Fu Xiaojian could only ask the prisoner.
All eyes turned to Jiang Ling.
The middle-aged man, who was tied up tightly, had his eyes closed, looking completely indifferent.
"Fu Wanhao, where did you take Xu Si?"
Jiang Ling didn't open his eyes or speak; his feelings were very complicated.
"You should know we've held back. If anything happens to Xu Si, I think you should prioritize your own life or death. What do you think?" Fu Xiaojian squatted down, intending to use diplomacy first before resorting to force.
