Thumbs Up (5K)

He Wei Ni Ya sensed an abnormal increase in Luo Qi's power in an instant, and his wounds healed in a flash, but He Wei Ni Ya did not see him use any magic.

So, is it the power of the body parts?

He Wei Ni Ya didn't know which part of the corpse Luo Qi possessed; she could only vaguely sense the other's presence as a fellow possessor of a corpse, so naturally she couldn't know what the rules were.

But Bai Wei had told her that the rules were all related to the corresponding body parts, so as long as she knew which body part it was, she could at least guess the general idea.

He Wei Ni Ya then tapped her staff again, and the spatial cutting lines created by [Five Sounds · Magic Cube] suddenly materialized, then rushed towards Luo Qi with a whoosh.

"Don't underestimate me!" A holy light burst forth from Luo Qi's body as he shouted, "Rhine!"

The light contained power, like a sun suddenly rising in this small room, instantly melting the cutting lines.

The "God's Blessing" mode under the [Disturbing] buff is also Luo Qi's strongest form. It is extremely aggressive and unaffected by mortal methods. Normally, he would feel like he is already a god of war.

However, the opponent happens to be a "tongue," and as the holder of Visas's body part, Luo Qi naturally knows that Visas' Corpse Pieces will grant each holder the characteristic of "god-slaying." In other words, the most powerful aspect of the "God's Blessing" state, "unaffected by mortal means," is greatly weakened in front of this guy.

Even so, he had no choice but to open the door, since the other party had a "tongue" with Three Corpse Pieces, Luo Qi dared not be careless.

Damn it, he had planned to wait until the other Corpse Friends were fighting each other to the death before picking up the scraps, but he never expected to run into this guy right away.

"Tongue!" Luo Qi roared at He Wei Ni Ya. "I don't want to fight you. If you're willing to back down now, I'll pretend nothing happened. Or we can go and deal with Hand Eye together. That guy is your enemy, isn't he? Coincidentally, I also want to tear him apart, so there's no need for us to fight each other!"

Tongue, Hand Eye?

Aren't those all Bai Wei's body parts already there? How come they've been split into two people?

Although she had some doubts, He Wei Ni Ya didn't show them, but nodded slightly. "Okay."

"... You agree?"

"Why not?" He Wei Ni Ya put away her staff. "You may leave."

Luo Qi's expression stiffened for a moment, then he nodded. "Okay."

Then he turned and left.

But before he could take two steps, he suddenly turned around and saw that countless energy orbs were floating around He Wei Ni Ya, so densely packed that it made one's scalp tingle.

"You fucking lied to me!" Luo Qi clenched his fists, and the Holy Light emanating from his body instantly coalesced into a holy sword. "Die, you hermaphrodite!"

He swung the holy sword down, while He Wei Ni Ya simultaneously channeled her energy orbs, unleashing them all at Luo Qi.

These energy orbs rained down on Luo Qi's Holy Light, producing a series of "thump-thump" sounds, like striking steel, and causing Luo Qi's Holy Light to dim at a visible speed.

But at the same time, Luo Qi's holy sword had already struck He Wei Ni Ya's face, accompanied by his angry roar.

"Great Rhine!"

With a loud "boom!"

The location where He Wei Ni Ya stood was immediately cleaved in two by the holy sword, and the entire house was split in two like a cake being sliced open, sending up clouds of dust.

Luo Qi stared intently at the spot where the holy sword had struck. Although he knew the probability of killing a tongue with a single blow was low, what if? What if that guy had overexerted himself by using the rules too many times and couldn't even dodge such a move?

Unfortunately, the huge incision did not reveal the corpse that Luo Qi wanted to see.

Did they dodge it?

No, that's impossible. That speed is absolutely unavoidable; it must be some kind of magic.

Luo Qi frowned.

To be honest, among the Four Great Orthodox Churches, the ones he least wanted to deal with were the players of the Holy Sound. These guys had really mastered the art of magic, especially when there were many people and many musical notes, the spells they could use were dazzling.

Now he is facing a player who possesses seven Golden Sound, which gives Luo Qi an even greater headache.

So where did this guy go?

Luo Qi cautiously observed his surroundings. The Holy Light on his body was still burning like flames, but it was obviously not as intense as before. After all, the energy orbs that had poured down earlier all had the characteristic of "god-killing," which had really made him look rather disheveled. If it weren't for the significant boost from [Disruption], that attack could very well have knocked him back to his original form.

So where did that guy go?

Could it be...?

Luo Qi suddenly realized something and stomped his foot down.

The earth shattered, and the air distorted as a result, like a piece of paper that had been crumpled.

"Just as I thought!"

Luo Qi swung his sword again, and Holy Light splashed out, instantly tearing apart the paper-thin air to reveal a brand new scene.

He wasn't in that dilapidated house at all, but in a vast ruin, and He Wei Ni Ya was standing not far away, with violent energy orbs constantly gathering around her, far exceeding the number from the previous attack.

Sure enough, everything I just saw was fake; it was an illusion created by this guy!

The real her was already outside the illusion, preparing for the next attack!

Feeling fooled, Luo Qi was so angry that his teeth started to ache.

In this world, he hates two kinds of people the most.

One is a cunning sorcerer, and the other is a cunning woman!

And now this guy has it all. Although Luo Qi still can't confirm her true gender, Luo Qi hates her no matter if she's a real woman or a hermaphrodite!

He Wei Ni Ya raised her staff once more, and an even larger and more numerous energy orbs poured down on Luo Qi!

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard! I've slept with countless men, why would I be afraid of a woman like you?!" Luo Qi raised his holy sword again and roared, "Rhine!"

The holy sword unleashed its light, which transformed into sharp blades that rained down around him like a storm. The blades pierced through any energy spheres they touched, then crashed into the ground and exploded, leaving behind a series of deep craters.

However, as the defender, it was impossible to intercept all the orbs. At most, they could only intercept about 70%, while the remaining 30% passed through the blade and, just like before, slammed into Luo Qi's body, which was illuminated by Holy Light. As they made a series of "thump thump thump" sounds, they also dimmed Luo Qi's Holy Light, which was in danger of being extinguished at any moment.

This naturally terrified Luo Qi.

Damn it, is this the power of the Seven Golden Sound? It suppressed me with just the power of the Holy Sound, without even using the Corpse Parts!

At that moment, Luo Qi sensed danger. He knew that if he didn't go all out, he would really die here.

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Luo Qi's eyes.

You forced me to do this!

Luo Qi held the Holy Sword to his chest, covering his right hand with his left, and then gave himself a thumbs-up once again.

The Holy Light, which was about to go out, rose up again like a furnace filled with hot oil, its radiance even more dazzling than before.

The second disturbance!

Yes, [Perturbation] can be stacked. Theoretically, as long as the body can withstand it, it can be used without limit, and the power can be increased without limit.

However, apart from Visas himself, no one could afford such a price.

Luo Qi can only withstand three amplifications at most, and if he doesn't receive timely treatment after the third amplification, he will have to join the Rhine God.

"My Great Lord!" In that ultimate Holy Light, Luo Qi's expression became extremely ferocious, "Grant me power!"

With a "boom," the holy sword in his hand suddenly doubled in length, and the Holy Light blades that had pierced the energy orb earlier regained their luster, rising up one by one and then attaching themselves to Luo Qi's body, quickly weaving into a golden, dazzling Holy Light armor.

When He Wei Ni Ya's energy orb struck the armor, it only created a tiny ripple, like a pebble falling into the sea.

"Hand over your body parts, tongue!"

Luo Qi swung his holy sword, sending up a horizontal wave that slashed towards He Wei Ni Ya had already erected several magical barriers in advance.

However, these magical barriers were so fragile under Luo Qi's ordinary slash that three of them shattered in the blink of an eye, leaving only the last one that was not destroyed on the spot, but it was also shaken and could not maintain its shape.

The ruins and rubble that were not protected by the magical barrier were split in two by the aftershocks that shook the area for hundreds of meters.

If He Wei Ni Ya hadn't chosen this battlefield, Luo Qi's strike would have been enough to kill countless people.

But this is just a normal attack under the double [disturbance].

Seeing this, He Wei Ni Ya couldn't help but think to herself, if Bai Wei were here, he would definitely sigh leisurely, "This is the purest numerical monster."

Unfortunately, Bai Wei wasn't there, so she had to deal with this numerical monster by herself.

Luo Qi felt his power surge and his confidence swelled as well.

What happened to the Seven Sound Player? And what happened to the Three Corpse Pieces?!

I'll kill them all for you to see!

Luo Qi roared again and charged toward He Wei Ni Ya. Although his strength had increased dramatically, he still did not intend to engage He Wei Ni Ya in a ranged attack.

No matter what, the warrior must get close to the mage. In his current state, once he gets close, he'll kill anyone, no matter who they are!

Of course, Luo Qi wasn't just a reckless fool. He wiped his eyes with Holy Light while charging to ensure that He Wei Ni Ya couldn't deceive him with the same methods she had used before.

With the help of the Holy Light, when Luo Qi looked at He Wei Ni Ya again, he indeed found a phantom image on her body, which still looked like an illusion.

Luo Qi sneered.

Are you trying to fool me a second time with the same trick?

No way!

I'll give you your true form right now... um?

Luo Qi suddenly felt that something was wrong, because He Wei Ni Ya's phantom... didn't seem so ethereal.

He looked at it carefully, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

That's not a phantom, this guy is real!

The illusory thing was behind her; she had hidden something behind her!

What is that?!

Luo Qi sensed the past once more and then felt an energy source as deep and unfathomable as a black hole. The intensity of this energy source was no less than that of him when he was still in the state of God's Blessing after being amplified twice by [Perturbation]!

Simply put, this bitch used the "Obstacle Method" to hide something big behind her back, just waiting to give him a hard time!

Luo Qi was horrified.

He wasn't sure whether the spell He Wei Ni Ya had hidden was more ruthless, or whether his current self was more ruthless, because in his perception, both were unfathomable, and no one could say for sure if they would actually collide.

But it was this uncertainty that made him hesitant to move forward.

He doesn't want to die! Even if it's a 50/50 situation... no, even if it's a 70/30 situation, he still doesn't want to die!

Luo Qi just wants to win.

But the problem is he's already halfway there; stopping would only hurt him, so...

Luo Qi gritted his teeth and looked at his right thumb again.

Since there's no turning back, let's go all out.

If you win, you'll get Three Corpse Pieces.

He absolutely has to win!

Thinking of this, a hint of madness flashed in Luo Qi's eyes. Then, he once again covered his right hand with the Holy Sword, preparing to give himself another thumbs up and activate the third level of [Disturbance].

That's the best he can do right now, and he will pay the same ultimate price later.

But so what? He just wants to win!

Luo Qi's thumb rose slowly and laboriously, as if he were frantically squeezing out the last bit of energy from his body.

But at that moment, He Wei Ni Ya lit her staff again, producing a note that began to play a melody.

What can a musical Movement Spell do?

Luo Qi remained unconvinced, simply waiting for the final layer of [Disturbance] to arrive.

However, just a second before his thumb was fully upright, a mist suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then, in an instant, the mist froze into a solid block of ice, which stretched between Luo Qi and his fingers.

Luo Qi didn't react at first, not knowing what was going on, since the ice block couldn't hurt him at all... Holy crap!

The ice quickly solidified, turning into a mirror, on which Luo Qi saw his terrified face.

But his thumb was not visible.

Although it was only for a brief moment, the [disturbance] that required visual intervention was still prevented!

This guy knows what my rules are!!

But that wasn't all. Luo Qi felt He Wei Ni Ya's power suddenly surge again! And the way it surged was very familiar to him.

It's a [disturbance]!

The disturbance has been added to her!

Luo Qi was even more terrified.

But why? He had clearly blocked He Wei Ni Ya's view with the holy sword...

Wait, could it be...?

Luo Qi immediately picked up the solid ice in front of him and looked behind it.

Sure enough, the back was also a mirror.

This guy used a piece of ice to block his view, while simultaneously using the reflection of his back to convey the information of the "disturbance" to himself.

Luo Qi's face was ashen.

He struggled to lift his head and look at He Wei Ni Ya was ten steps away.

The secret behind He Wei Ni Ya had been revealed: a magic circle engraved with seven musical notes, gently rotating like a full moon. The powerful Magic Power materialized into a tangible wind, whipping He Wei Ni Ya's red hair high, as if to ignite the entire night sky with a raging fire.

Seven Sound Movement · Heavenly God Tremor.

"It's over," He Wei Ni Ya said.

Yes, it's over.

Although he was still under the God's Blessing of the double [Disturbing] spell, Luo Qi knew clearly that he could not resist it.

The moment the spell, imbued with the power of [Disruption], was completed, he had already lost the ability to resist.

He's really going to die here.

Luo Qi watched in despair as He Wei Ni Ya raised her staff, like a giant scythe raised by the Grim Reaper.

Then...

"Pfft."

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted from He Wei Ni Ya's mouth, and then she collapsed to her knees with a thud, unable to even hold her staff.

In the blink of an eye, He Wei Ni Ya's body began to "melt," her flesh rapidly separating from her bones, and her exquisitely beautiful face became horrifying.

Luo Qi was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

But his strong will to survive quickly activated his not-so-good brain.

This person has health problems; she couldn't hold on any longer?!

The joy of escaping a desperate situation almost made Luo Qi faint with happiness.

It really is the blessing of the Rhine God!

These Three Corpse Pieces are definitely mine!

He picked up the holy sword again, ready to go up and finish off that damned tongue.

But the next second, He Wei Ni Ya looked up at him.

Just that one glance.

The murderous intent that was about to burst out of those pupils was still uncontrollable, instantly extinguishing Luo Qi's joy. He suddenly realized that the spell behind this guy hadn't dissipated yet!

If she's willing to risk her life, she still has a chance to kill herself!

Once Luo Qi understood this, his body reacted immediately—he turned and ran.

That idiot won't live much longer!

But I can still live!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I came to collect your body after you're completely dead?

He Wei Ni Ya naturally saw through Luo Qi's thoughts, but she had no choice. Her body was already at its limit, and if she forced herself to unleash the Godly Ripple, she would probably die before Luo Qi.

But she couldn't just let Luo Qi go back like that.

So she raised her hand and aimed at Luo Qi's heart.

However, the cowardly Luo Qi carefully protected his heart, concentrating all the enhanced Holy Light on his heart and brain, hoping to avoid being killed on the spot by He Wei Ni Ya.

After a brief hesitation, He Wei Ni Ya changed her target, aiming at the constantly swaying right hand.

With a "whoosh" sound.

A Wind Blade was unleashed.

With Luo Qi's scream, his finger fell to the ground.

But not the thumb.

So the second shot, the third shot, and the fourth shot.

Luo Qi screamed repeatedly, but he never stopped.

Finally, He Wei Ni Ya, who could no longer hold on, lowered her hand and watched Luo Qi, who only had one Thumbs Up Thumb left, flee the scene like a wild dog. She sighed softly.
