Chapter 863: 863 Where Can You Escape To?
Chapter 864: 864. Mutually Assured Destruction
An ordinary person is innocent, possessing treasure is the crime. With such low strength, you dare to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, carrying a great treasure. Without the strength to protect divine objects, you will eventually lose your life. How ridiculous.
However, Jin Yangtian did not rush to pursue. Instead, he crushed a Rank 2 · Designated Exposure Seat Card.
[Using this card, you can designate any numbered player and expose their location information to all players. Can be nullified by Unbeatable.
Effective duration: 10 minutes (real-time display of target location)]
[Designation: Player Number 9]
[The target will take effect successfully if there is no operation within 3 seconds—]
[3, 2, 1 Location information for Player 9 has been released]
Information flooded into Jin Yangtian’s mind. According to the locator, the one fleeing ahead was indeed Player 9, the Spade Person, not an incarnation. The most troublesome thing about the Spade Person was their elusive incarnations and concealment methods, but if it wasn’t an incarnation, it would be easier to handle.
The mist rippled again. Jin Yangtian transformed into a golden light and leaped through the rippling space, leisurely catching up to the Spade Person.
Behind them, Zong Yue was forced to stop, hovering a thousand feet away. He frowned as he gazed at the Heavenly Gate, shaking his head as if talking to someone. He said in a deep voice, “It failed. The Spade Person proactively left the Heavenly Realm and was encountered by Jin Yangtian.”
“Proactively left the Heavenly Realm?” Ms. Mi’s surprised voice came to Zong Yue’s ear. “Does this idiot want to die? Wouldn’t it be better to stay hidden in the Heavenly Realm?”
“So, why should we protect his life?” Zong Yue asked, his voice deep with confusion. Although he had blocked Jin Yangtian, he didn’t know the reason himself; he was only following Ms. Mi’s orders.
“Did you forget what I said? Don’t ask what you shouldn’t,” Ms. Mi said in a low voice.
“Yes,” Zong Yue nodded, puzzled. “With Jin Yangtian’s ruthless methods, the Spade Person wouldn’t last ten seconds. What should we do now? Should we continue to obstruct Jin Yangtian?”
Ms. Mi thought for a moment, then chuckled softly and shook her head. “No need. Let the Spade Person die if they want. Although it’s a bit of a deviation from the plan, who told this kid to be so foolish? He can’t be saved even if we wanted to.”
“Next, we need to think about how to deal with Jin Yangtian. He claims to only want the Blazing Sun Divine Domain, but the Sumeru Throne is within reach. How could he not covet it?”
“Swish—” A golden meteor streaked across the sky. Five-Dao fruit-level pressure of Rank 4a1s spread out, stirring up ten thousand miles of waves in the clouds. Arrows made of colorful clouds broke through the physical limits of space, rapidly approaching the Spade Person.
The Spade Person in the distance was like a grasshopper unable to escape the cage of heaven and earth, sealed and locked within countless mirrored surfaces. With stiff limbs and head tilted back, the Spade mask on their face trembled unstably, their body shaking.
[Rank A Spatial Dao Fruit · Departures from Baidi]
Scintillating with ancient divine radiance, an arrow materialized out of thin air in their chest.
Jin Yangtian stood high in the clouds, looking down at the ant in the cage, and secretly shook his head. “Too weak.”
As his loosely clenched fist suddenly tightened, in the center of the mirrors, the arrow in the Spade Person’s chest instantly turned into boundless radiant light, annihilating the Spade Person completely!
Instant kill!
Jin Yangtian slowly walked forward, stepping on the still dispersing spatial ripples. As his dark brocade boots crunched over floating mirror fragments, a faint glass-like mournful cry came from underfoot.
He arrived at the place where the Spade Person had died, ready to receive the inheritance.
However… what puzzled him was that after the Spade Person turned into ashes, what fell out was not a rose-gold spirit paper, but a pure white bandage. Distorted souls on the bandage instantly shattered.
Jin Yangtian naturally remembered this bandage; it was one of Uphiel’s遗物 (belongings).
Thinking of this, Jin Yangtian was startled, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Damn!
[You have killed Player 4. Due to Player 4 carrying the ‘Rank 2 · Life Link Curse’, you will suffer Mutually Assured Destruction with them if there is no operation within 3 seconds—]
Damn it! How could it be Uphiel?! Jin Yangtian’s mind became a mess in an instant, genuinely bewildered by this extremely insidious method.
However, his mental fortitude was strong. He immediately recovered and reacted, his sharp eagle eyes flashing with cold light, and he crushed a purple card.
[You used Rank 2 · Unbeatable, Target: Life Link Curse—]
Fortunately, although he had given most of his prop cards to Jin Shiyin, he had kept one Unbeatable card just in case. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
[Player 9 used Rank 2 · Unbeatable on you, nullifying your Unbeatable.]
[The Life Link Curse will take effect if there is no operation within 3 seconds—]
Jin Yangtian: “?”
Playing like this?!
Spade Person!! He suddenly looked up, then turned around, scanning the sky in all directions, his gaze chilling, trying to find that insidious mouse hiding in the dark.
He knew the Spade Person must be watching this place, silently mocking his stupidity with that disgusting and bizarre Spade mask.
Utterly arrogant!
He had to find this mouse within 3 seconds!
Unfortunately, no matter how he searched, even at the cost of consuming a large amount of Mental Power to activate his divine eyes, he still couldn’t find the Spade Person’s main body. This made him even more frustrated. He, a god-tier genius, was actually eliminated in such a ridiculous manner?!
[21]
Time was up. Jin Yangtian instantly felt unable to move. Golden light halos lit up simultaneously above and below him, and countless rune chains emerged from them.
That was the power of the laws of this Sumeru Realm, which he could not resist with his current strength.
At this point, Jin Yangtian fell into silent contemplation. His anger dissipated, and with a helpless sigh, he completely gave up struggling, shaking his head and chuckling.
Fine, this time… he had lost.
Golden light submerged his body. He adjusted the platinum eagle helmet on his forehead and gazed at the Heavenly Gate.
“Spade Person, there will be a next time.”
Whoosh—— As his majestic and indifferent voice faded, his face turned into golden light and dispersed completely.
Heavenly Realm.
Xia Feng, who had transformed back into human form through Myriad Phenomena into Spiritual Energy, reappeared. He had never left the Heavenly Realm from beginning to end. He had only given his Seat marker, the dying bandage, and Uphiel’s soul imprisoned in the Spirit Beast Ring to his incarnation just now.
Jin Yangtian’s method of distinguishing between his main body and incarnation was the ‘Designated Exposure Seat Card’, which undoubtedly played right into Xia Feng’s hands. He could choose whether to place his Seat marker on his main body or his incarnation. Ultimately, Jin Yangtian lost due to his lack of experience and naivety.
The only concern Xia Feng had when he thought of this method earlier was that Jin Yangtian might have three Unbeatable cards. Xia Feng only had two. If Jin Yangtian truly had three, then Xia Feng could only say that Jin Yangtian was impressive.
But fortunately, Jin Yangtian only had a pitiful one.
[Countdown: 3, 2—]
Just in time, the countdown ended.
[1]
Everything in the Sumeru Realm suddenly froze.
[Red King Exposure Phase ends, entering the fourth round settlement phase—]
He had finally managed to survive until the settlement phase of this round. The income was likely substantial. However, Xia Feng was still puzzled. Nine-Tails and Evil Crow had also participated in the Sumeru War, but they hadn’t appeared even in the late game. It was truly strange.
