Chapter 317: Electric Current
As the saying goes, the wise know when to act and when to refrain. If they could escape to a safe place, what does it matter to humble themselves?
Xia Feng put on a simple and honest smile and continued, “So, Sister Yi, you mean you have a way to help me?”
“Naturally.” The Golden Skirt Goddess’s lips curved slightly. “Little brother, as long as you let go of your consciousness and let me place the Eternal Day Divine Seal in the depths of your soul, I will naturally have a way to help you resolve your current crisis.”
“…”
“Goodbye!”
Eternal Day Divine Seal? Upon hearing this, Xia Feng immediately gave up the idea of seeking help from Gong Changyi. From the memories he had recalled, he knew that the Eternal Day Divine Seal was a contract with a master-servant nature. Once accepted, it would be completely over, no different from a treaty that surrendered sovereignty and humiliated the nation.
“Mr. Xia, have you thought of a solution?” Mu Qingtong’s confused voice sounded again.
“Allow me to contemplate…” Xia Feng felt that he could still be saved and didn’t need to sell himself to Gong Changyi like this. Of course, he might still be able to use the same trick as before. After having the Eternal Day Divine Seal branded on him, he could find a way to enter the Evil Dragon Space and ask Miss Evil Dragon for help again to remove the Eternal Day Divine Seal. However, he was somewhat worried that the Eternal Day Divine Seal was much more powerful than the previous tracking mark, and he didn’t know if Miss Evil Dragon could remove it. If it couldn’t be removed, then it would be over.
While contemplating, he saw Mu Qingtong putting on a black robe and a red q-mask for him. Seeing this, he also disguised his identity with a k-mask, and the two of them stepped out of the room and appeared in the sky above the arena. Mu Fen, his incarnation, had already closed her eyes and was lying on the sofa feigning unconsciousness.
*Buzzzzz—*
At the same time, the faint halo permeating the entire arena began to shrink, signifying the fading of the nightmare domain. However, as the Fate Stone between Mu Qingtong’s eyebrows flashed, the nightmare domain contracted to about a hundred meters around the two of them and suddenly stopped, forming a small, localized nightmare domain.
“I can extend this domain for a little longer,” Mu Qingtong’s thought transmission sounded in Xia Feng’s mind. “But I can only extend it for two minutes at most. Within two minutes, the enemy cannot invade, and their attack methods will be shielded by the domain, but after that, we will have to face the enemy directly.”
Originally, within the nightmare domain, all living beings would be forcibly drawn into their memory worlds. However, both Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong had already broken through their own memory worlds, which was equivalent to gaining an immunity buff and would not be pulled in again. But outsiders who entered would still be dragged into their memory worlds and fall into a coma.
“You can actually extend the time of the nightmare domain?” At this moment, a woman’s hoarse cold laugh suddenly rang out from the distance. “Interesting, Your Excellency, you can actually control the power of rules?”
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong looked up and saw a strange woman wearing a black trench coat and baring shark-like teeth descending from the clouds. As the nightmare domain still covered about a hundred meters, she had to stop in mid-air. Following closely behind were a man and a woman. The man had a handsome face in his early thirties with a faint smile. He had a slicked-back hairstyle, stood with his hands behind his back, and floated in the air, his abyssal black coat draped over his shoulders fluttering in the wind. The woman held a paper umbrella, dressed in a classic qipao that revealed her calves, looking like a woman from a painting, standing gracefully in the gray cloudy sky.
Ke Yanqing’s beautiful eyes swept over the two masked figures, her brows furrowed in suspicion. As she approached, she could clearly sense a strong maternal aura from the K-Masked Man, which made her heart fill with surprise. Could it be some God Relic on the K-Masked Man? But if so, it would be too strange. Even a God Relic wouldn’t have such a strong maternal aura; it was almost like the main body itself! However, it was no longer important. As she pondered, Ke Yanqing narrowed her beautiful eyes; as long as she killed this K-Masked Man, she would naturally figure out what God Relic it was.
At the same time, Corvis’s gaze quickly swept around. Through a glass window in the distance, he saw the black-dressed woman lying on the sofa, unconscious. However, what made him frown was that through the seven emotions ring’s senses, the black-dressed woman’s memory was still intact and had not been erased? Had it failed? Corvis’s gaze turned cold, and he shook his head, deciding to put this matter aside for now. He withdrew his gaze and quickly locked onto the Q-Masked Man, his eyes narrowing. “It seems, Your Excellency, you are that being with extraordinary mental power?”
Mu Qingtong did not reply and continued her thought transmission. “Mr. Xia, the opponent’s combat power is estimated to be higher than we imagined. That woman with the umbrella is a Divine Attendant. Although her realm is only True Martial, her strength is close to that of a Venerable…”
Listening to Miss Mu’s explanation, Xia Feng’s brows furrowed. The shark-toothed woman should be a believer of Nightmare, and the noble man was that fellow Corvis. According to the current situation, if they were to confront them head-on, they would basically not be able to win.
“Mr. Xia, are we preparing to fight head-on, or to escape?”
After a moment of conflicted thought, just as Xia Feng was about to risk agreeing to Gong Changyi’s request, Gui Dao suddenly vibrated.
*Ding!*
“Master, I sensed the aura of a Divine Attendant. The umbrella in that woman’s hand is the Hua Shen Umbrella, and her identity should be a maid chosen by Hua.” Yue Hongli’s voice sounded.
Xia Feng was stunned. “Hmm? So what?” Yue Hongli briefly explained the function of the Hua Shen Umbrella, then said, “A person who has contracted with the Hua Shen Umbrella is firmly controlled by the main personality in terms of body, soul, consciousness, and emotions. Since I and the main personality are one, I can naturally control her maid. However, my control effect may be greatly reduced, and I can only control her physical body, but I cannot cause her to die instantly. Furthermore, the main personality’s authority is above mine. If she intentionally prevents me, I will not be able to control her.”
Hearing Yue Hongli’s explanation, Xia Feng’s eyes lit up. A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and an escape plan emerged in his heart.
Seeing that the two masked figures were not responding, Corvis did not get angry. He looked down at his pocket watch and smiled, waiting quietly. After all, this domain would not last long; it would dissipate in at most two minutes. What he needed to worry about now was that the people from the Element Holy See would probably arrive soon. These priests were meddlesome, and he had to resolve the matter quickly before they arrived.
“Red Face Ghost, when the domain is lifted later, you deal with the K-Masked Man. That should be easier to handle. Sister Qing and I will instantly kill the Q-Masked Man with abnormal mental power. Let’s make a quick decision.”
“Okay.” Although their combat power crushed these two masked figures, perhaps even one Red Face Ghost would be enough to deal with them. However, Corvis was always cautious. No one knew what the Q-Masked Man’s spirit artifact would do. To be safe, instantly killing him was the most secure option.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the woman holding the umbrella next to him let out a muffled groan. Corvis tilted his head in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Ke Yanqing frowned, clutching her chest. Her heart had suddenly twitched, and the intense pain made her almost think she was going to die. Of course, that wasn’t the point. The point was that this pain came from the Hua Shen mark branded in her soul! She opened her red lips, about to say something, when suddenly, her throbbing heart experienced fine electric currents flowing through her limbs. Her indifferent beautiful eyes slowly widened.
