Just Do It-What the Hell Is There to Fear?!

It failed?!

Luo Jun felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly activated the Regret to make a judgment again!

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 90 points; Final Points: 72 + 15 points; Event Failed!"

The difficulty has increased... Watching the tentacles approaching at a visible speed despite the time slowdown effect, Luo Jun realized that in the short time he Regret, the attack had gotten even closer, making it even harder to dodge...

Having no other choice, Luo Jun tried his best to avoid vital points, hoping that the shield from his Body Protecting Belt could withstand the attack!

Puff!

The Body Protecting Belt was ultimately just a Rare-level Noble Phantasm, with limited shield strength. The tentacles of the Virus Progenitor easily pierced through it, directly striking Luo Jun's left arm!

With Luo Jun's current level of physical tempering, his strength is almost comparable to that of steel, and ordinary bullets would be no different from a tickle to him. However, the power of this Virus Progenitor is far beyond that of firearms. The bone spur Bone Spur, imbued with fierce energy, were unleashed in anger, capable of piercing even tank armor. They pierced Luo Jun's body, immediately tearing through his flesh and penetrating an inch deep!

"Ugh..." Since mastering the Body Tempering Art, Luo Jun hadn't been injured for a long time. The pain stimulated his nerves, and he immediately swung his hand to throw out the Bone Spur. As he retreated rapidly, he reached for his wristwatch with his right hand and drew out the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade. He held the blade upwards under his left armpit, exerted force with his wrist, and slashed upwards with all his might!

At this point, only drastic measures are possible! An arm can grow back if you upgrade your skills, but if the virus spreads throughout your body, you're probably doomed!

With that sudden burst of force, a sharp pain shot through his armpit as if his skin was being cut open, but as the blade pulled, a sharp, slicing sound suddenly rang out as it struck something hard...

The blade is stuck in the bone?!

It didn't cut through? Even if a one-handed counter-attack is difficult to generate power, given the Unstoppable nature of the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon, it should have been easy to cut through. Why is it taking so much effort?

In his desperation, he pulled the blade back and forth, like sawing, the blade rubbing against the bone and joints, instantly doubling the pain, but still failing to sever the arm!

Not only his bones, but also his skin and muscles were extremely tough; when the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade cut through them, one could feel significant resistance!

Luo Jun was shocked. Unbeknownst to him, his physical body had been strengthened to such an extent that he couldn't even sever his arm in a critical moment!

At this moment, the Virus Progenitor on the other side had recovered from the explosion. It had abandoned its human form and evolved into a head with a large mouth and six segmented long arms. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the ends of its long arms were not fingers, but thick Bone Spur. Everything was designed to increase its attack power!

"Die! Become my nourishment!" The Virus Progenitor massive maw, letting out a roar unlike anything in human form, and charged towards Luo Jun!

Seeing the Virus Progenitor, Luo Jun was extremely anxious. He could feel something invading his body through the wound he had just suffered, spreading rapidly with his blood circulation. He instinctively circulated his vital energy to try to resist it, and at the same time activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets!

"Stop the infection!"

"Ding, this event is Mandatory Event and cannot be determined. Decrease the count by one."

Mandatory Event?! Am I doomed?

Luo Jun's heart sank instantly. The enemy was closing in, six long arms thrusting straight at him...

Damn it, if only I had Lao Miao Miao's Wheel of Fate... But last time he made it cool down tenfold, so even if I had it now, I probably wouldn't be able to use it...

Wait... there's another way!

Luo Jun's eyes suddenly lit up. He jumped to the side to dodge the attack and took out the Heaven Returning Realm from the Hundred Treasure Box!

I almost forgot that time travel isn't a unique skill of the Wheel of Fate!

Start the Heaven Returning!

It's been less than 100 seconds since he was infected, Heaven Returning " technique can completely reset his body's condition and definitely dispel the virus!

Sure enough, as golden light enveloped his entire body, Luo Jun's severed arm quickly healed, the virus in his body was completely expelled, and even the vital energy he had consumed in those hundred seconds was replenished!

It worked!

Just as they were celebrating, the Virus Progenitor that had come up empty-handed caught up with them!

Looking at the menacing monster, Luo Jun narrowed his eyes, opened his arms, and clenched his fists...

This time, he didn't dodge, but went straight to meet it!

Bang!

With a kick, the monster's body surged with qi, and it was sent flying backward, crashing into the hillside and causing the huge rocks to crack!

That wasn't all. Luo Jun rushed forward and started punching and kicking the monster. As for the tentacles that came at him, he dodged them if he could, and blocked them with his hands if he couldn't. He was no longer afraid of being pricked or infected!

The moment Luo Jun took out the Heaven Returning Mirror, he realized something.

Since the dice roll is Mandatory Event, either infection is certain, or infection is certain!

Ultimately, he used the Heaven Returning Realm to resolve the infection, which means the diagnosis was the latter!

His use of the Heaven Returning Realm was not a certainty. It could be that he didn't remember to use it; or that when he took out the Heaven Returning Realm, the Virus Progenitor interfered and he didn't have a chance to use it; or that the Heaven Returning Realm was simply knocked off a cliff and lost... These are all possible scenarios. If the virus can only be neutralized by the Heaven Returning Realm, then this event is not Mandatory Event, but rather an event with a high probability of success, and the dice will be activated!

What is the Mandatory Event? It means that no matter what happens, he will not be infected!

The only possible explanation is that Luo Jun's body, forged through countless trials, has become immune to this level of virus!

Since even viruses are useless now, why should I be afraid of you?

Therefore, Luo Jun's real purpose in using the Heaven Returning Mirror was no longer to neutralize the virus, but to heal his slashed left arm!

With two healthy arms, I can beat you up even better!

After this fierce attack, the entire hillside began to tremble. During their entanglement, the man and the monster fought their way into the depths of the solid mountain, where they were buried by the falling rocks, leaving only a rumbling sound coming from beneath the rubble.

Finally, with a loud boom, a black, twisted monster broke through the rock wall and emerged from another direction of the mountain. Its protective aura was faintly visible, indicating that it was almost exhausted.

Then, Luo Jun, now only wearing a mask and underwear, followed and landed opposite the Virus Progenitor.

Luo Jun had many wounds, all inflicted by the Virus Progenitor during the fight. However, this time, because he was no longer afraid to fight and launched a fierce attack, he did not give the Virus Progenitor many chances to retaliate. His wounds were all shallow, and with his terrifying strength, they were already showing signs of healing.

As for the viruses that entered his body through those wounds, they were eliminated by his immune system as they flowed through his bloodstream.

As expected, the virus had virtually no effect on me. Luo Jun wiped the blood from his face and looked at the monster opposite him as if it were a lamb to the slaughter.

"Who exactly are you?!" A chilling voice emanated from the Virus Progenitor's twisted mouth. "Why is my Corpse Poison ineffective against you?"

"Go ask King Yama Hell!" Luo Jun grinned maliciously, then suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the Virus Progenitor, and pushed it forward!

The Virus Progenitor didn't know what he wanted to do, so he could only keep attacking with his tentacles. But Luo Jun didn't care at all, and despite being covered in wounds, he finally brought the monster back to the hillside where the two had fought before!

That was... The Virus Progenitor caught sight of the giant cannon still standing there, facing its own cannon, and thought to itself, "This is bad... No matter if it's punches, kicks, or swords, it can dodge them by splitting its body. If it gets hit by that light beam, it will lose a lot of tissue!"

Thinking of this, it immediately split its body apart, attempting to break free from Luo Jun's control!

"Trying to run? It's too late!"

Just then, Luo Jun flicked his hand and dropped a yellow chess piece. A semi-transparent spherical barrier then formed, enveloping everything within a 15-meter radius. The tissues splitting off from the Virus Progenitor could not escape the barrier's edge!

"Close the door and beat the dog!" Luo Jun snorted coldly, snapped his fingers, and with a few loud bangs, five Explosive Bullet shot out!

Although the human and the monster did not reach the giant cannon, they had approached the five Flame Turret that had been set up earlier. The Earth Barrier enveloped the Flame Turret as well, and they fired simultaneously at the Virus Progenitor!

After a fierce battle, the Virus Progenitor aura was already very thin, and fire attacks were precisely what countered it. The monster instinctively tried to escape, but Luo held it down, letting five fireballs engulf the two of them!

The flames scorched the fine tentacles, causing the Virus Progenitor to roar in pain... But if it coalesced into a whole, it could resist the burning, but it would have to withstand Luo Jun's iron fist!

If you try to scatter, we'll break you up; if you try to disperse and escape, we'll unleash fireballs! The more scattered you are, the faster and more thoroughly you'll be burned!

And so, the five Flame Turret continued firing, while Luo Jun did his best to keep the monster in place. The barrier, with a radius of fifteen meters, seemed spacious, but under such a relentless bombardment in its confined state, its interior was practically filled with flames. The Virus Progenitor had endured the most powerful attack, and the smaller, scattered tissues, if they couldn't escape the Earth Barrier, were also doomed to be incinerated...

As for Luo Jun himself, his whole body was scalded red and steaming under the baptism of flames, but he still refused to let go of the monster!

Soon, all five Flame Turret emptied their Explosive Bullet, reverting to their original state as Hundred Treasure Box. The monster before Luo Jun had all its fragmented tissues burned away, and even the largest main body was charred black, leaving only a shapeless, writhing mass of tissue...

However, Luo Jun still dared not let his guard down. He put down the group, walked out of the Earth Barrier alone, came to the Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon, put it into the Hundred Treasure Box, and then returned to the earth barrier to set up the cannon again, aiming the cannon at the group.

"Dice of Heavenly Secrets Judgment!"

"Destroy the Virus Progenitor!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...

The earth, which had just been bathed in the crimson Earth Barrier of firelight, was now filled with white light, making it appear from afar as if a giant incandescent light bulb had appeared on the hillside, shining brightly in the darkness...
