RPAGF Chapter 113 That kid Lu Yan must have found another way.
Chapter 113 That kid Lu Yan must have found another way.
In the distance, flickering lights, like candles in the wind, stubbornly pierced through the thick fog, guiding the way.
Zhao Leiguang and Lin Chuxue were following the light, running along a long street paved with gold.
"Hurry up! That kid Lu Yan must have found another way!" Zhao Leiguang shouted as he ran, the Earth Pulse Suit making a sound under his feet.
Suddenly, the golden ground in front of them melted and surged, transforming once again into that dazzling golden palace.
This time, instead of monsters, two hunched figures stood at the entrance of the hall.
Lin Chuxue suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Those are her parents.
They were dressed in faded old clothes, their faces plastered with obsequious, humble smiles, bowing and scraping before a blurry, phantom image of a wealthy businessman.
"Boss, could you please give me a few more days..."
"My daughter...she's amazing, she'll be making money very soon..."
The voice was like a needle, piercing precisely into Lin Chuxue's heart. Her obsession with money, her motivation to fight tooth and nail in dungeons, stemmed from this.
In the instant her mind wavered, the golden monsters around her once again seeped out from the walls and pillars, silently surrounding her.
"Fake!"
A thunderous shout jolted Lin Chuxue awake from her daze.
Zhao Leiguang didn't even glance at the two illusions; he immediately activated [Savage Charge]. Like a runaway heavy truck, with his two shields in front, he crashed violently into that false warmth.
boom!
Wealthy businessmen, parents, golden palaces—all illusions shattered like a mirror under this unreasonable impact.
Zhao Leiguang turned around and roared at Lin Chuxue, whose eyes were still somewhat blank, "Do you think they'll live a good life just because you're here looking at this useless stuff?"
"Becoming stronger! Reaching the highest point! That's the best way to repay them!"
Lin Chuxue's body trembled.
She looked at Zhao Leiguang's rugged yet resolute face, then at the flickering firelight in the distance. The confusion in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and determination.
"you're right."
She raised her hand, and the crimson [Starfire Phoenix Cry] feather robe shone even brighter.
This time, the endless fire element was no longer a violent outburst, but condensed in her palm into a long, fiery whip that was more than ten meters long.
Faced with the golden monsters surging forward again, Lin Chuxue lashed out with her whip!
Snapped!
The long whip pierced the air with a crisp cracking sound, striking precisely the golden monster at the very front.
The monster was instantly torn to pieces, and the [Undying Karmic Fire] attached to its wounds prevented it from any possibility of reassembling, completely incinerating it into a wisp of black smoke.
Once the inner demons are overcome, the Daoist heart will naturally become clear.
……
At the other fork in the road, the stench of blood assaulted our senses.
Su Yunqing and Shen Xinglin were also on their way. Beneath their feet lay a blood-red battlefield strewn with corpses.
This time, it wasn't unfamiliar soldiers lying on the ground.
Xiao Qianyu was pinned to the wall by several broken blades, Zhao Leiguang's body was blasted halfway apart, Lin Chuxue's feather robe was torn to shreds, and Wen Yue's crossbow bolt was broken... The entire first squad lay in pools of blood in the most miserable state, barely clinging to life.
"Save me... Yun Qing..."
"It hurts so much..."
Endless wails and cries for help transformed into the heaviest shackles, trapping Su Yunqing firmly in place.
Her hands were trembling, the radiance of the [Gift of Yao Guang] flickered, and guilt and helplessness overwhelmed her like a tide.
Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by this despair, a figure silently stood in front of her.
Shen Xinglin.
He didn't look at the illusions of the team members, but simply held his ever-changing spear horizontally.
A negative energy entity crawled out of the shadows and tried to get close to Su Yunqing, but he shot it through the head and nailed it to the ground cleanly.
He was like a silent dam, blocking all the negative emotions surging towards Su Yunqing.
Seeing Su Yunqing's pale face, Shen Xinglin finally spoke, his voice calm and without a trace of emotion.
"Your treatment should be reserved for the real them."
Su Yunqing suddenly looked up.
She saw Shen Xinglin's back; his [Tide Singer] outfit had been corroded by negative energy, leaving several black marks, but his hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock.
Yes.
What's the point of wasting energy on these superficial things?
Su Yunqing took a deep breath and suppressed all the healing light she was emitting. Her fair fingertips moved rapidly in front of her, concentrating all her mental energy.
The gentle holy light that healed the wounded and saved lives transformed into a sharp spear of light flashing with golden arcs of electricity at that moment.
"go."
The light spear pierced the air and accurately struck the aggregate of all the negative energy in front of it.
There was no violent explosion, only a hissing sound as everything was purified. The negative energy, powerful enough to devour an A-level expert, melted rapidly under the light spear, like ice and snow under the blazing sun.
The illusion shattered once more.
The two teams finally met at an intersection.
Zhao Leiguang, Lin Chuxue, Su Yunqing, Shen Xinglin.
Behind the four, an endless wave of monsters, formed from a mixture of various emotions, was chasing after them.
They exchanged a glance, but there was no further communication.
Zhao Leiguang and Shen Xinglin advanced side by side, one with two shields like a mountain, the other with a long spear like a forest, instantly forming the most impregnable defensive line.
"Come on, you scum!" Zhao Leiguang roared, slamming a tower shield heavily onto the ground. The shockwave of [War Stomp] knocked over the monsters in the front row.
Lin Chuxue's flaming whip and Su Yunqing's holy spear, one on the left and one on the right, roared out from behind the defensive line, precisely clearing out the controlled enemies.
The four who had been thrown into disarray by the illusion now united their fighting strength into an unbreakable steel rope.
After passing through the last thick fog, the dilapidated clock tower finally came into view.
Lu Yan and Xiao Qianyu were standing downstairs, waiting quietly. Wen Yue stood a little further up, the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow in her hand still emitting a faint smell of gunpowder; clearly, the signal flare from earlier was her doing.
Seeing the four disheveled yet high-spirited individuals emerge from the mist, a faint smile appeared on Lu Yan's perpetually calm face.
"Damn it, we've finally found the main force!" Zhao Leiguang laughed loudly, slamming his fist into his breastplate with a loud bang.
The team reunited.
That unspoken trust and tacit understanding brought a sense of peace to everyone.
"Stop talking nonsense." Xiao Qianyu looked at the huge bronze bell above her head, her voice cold and clear. "Destroy it."
"good!"
Everyone responded in unison, preparing to join forces.
At that very moment, the air around the entire clock tower began to distort violently, like boiling water.
Six Paths, figures identical to theirs, slowly emerged from the void.
The equipment, the aura, the weapons, and even the positions of each person were all perfectly replicated, as if they had been copied from a mirror.
The one leading them, "Lu Yan," also held a black wooden scepter. He looked at the crowd and spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion, like a purely system notification:
"The second stage, the final trial."
"Defeat yourselves."
Before he could finish speaking...
The figure of "Xiao Qianyu" on the opposite side vanished instantly.
It's [Flash Strike]!
At the same time, Zhao Leiguang let out a low roar and activated [Savage Charge].
"Lin Chuxue" unleashed a firestorm with a wave of her hand, "Wen Yue" launched her scattering grenades into the air, and "Su Yunqing's" buff aura instantly enveloped all illusions.
A perfect start, perfect teamwork, and complete synchronization with the first squad's own muscle memory.
