That Thunderclap That Took Us Both Down

"Puff--"

The power contained in that straight punch was so terrifying that it almost killed Scorpion on the spot not long ago. So when Cheng Shi was hit, he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward until he crashed into Tullatin against the wall. Only then did he stop, pale-faced, and turn around to squat down.

Although he blocked most of the attacks, Tullatin was still tainted by the splashing [Annihilation] power, and his flesh and blood instantly began to rot and disappear, making him unrecognizable.

With this heavy slam, the unconscious Church Leader's Son suddenly woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he let out a painful scream.

"Ah--"

Cheng Shi. He coughed twice, raised his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with Unyielding determination, but then he coughed up an even more glaring mouthful of blood.

The situation on the field suddenly Change. The attacker, who had not yet launched an attack, was immediately at a disadvantage and became a lamb to the slaughter, wantonly ravaged by the power of [Annihilation].

"Ahem—a good method..."

Cheng Shi covered his shoulder with one hand, his whole body trembling slightly.

Seeing his expression, Mo Shu smiled slightly and instead of getting closer, took a few steps back.

"You acted well, but the blood looks fake; your blood pack seems to be expired."

"Ah?"

Cheng Shi glanced at the ground and noticed that the second mouthful of blood was indeed a bit darker in color. His lips twitched, and he stood up with an embarrassed expression.

He was perfectly fine; under the protection of [Endless Life], he didn't even need to treat himself!

He was faking it all; he wanted to trick the other side, but a mistake in the details led to his plan being exposed.

So Cheng Shi could only shrug and sigh, "Sigh, things you find are never reliable. How can anyone use expired blood packs? Honestly, what a waste of effort..."

Mo Shu's eye twitched upon hearing this, and he looked at Cheng Shi with a slightly mocking expression:

"It seems our agreement has been voided?"

Cheng Shi blinked in confusion. "What agreement?"

"... Very well, since that's the case, then they're all mine." Mo Shu chuckled and made as if to leave.

But Cheng Shi had no intention of stopping him. Instead of stopping him, he turned around and exposed his back completely to Mo Shu.

He quickly helped the wailing Tullatin to his feet, cast a Healing Art to keep him alive, then taped his mouth shut before pushing him out the window.

After he finished doing all this, he turned around and said casually:

"Go ahead, what's the big deal about two people dying? They have nothing to do with me. How many people die these days? As long as I'm alive, I don't care what happens to them."

However, it was precisely because of Cheng Shi's inexplicable actions that Mo Shu frowned and did not leave the place immediately.

He is a cautious person, a player as cautious as Zhang Jizu.

He wondered, is it normal for a Believer in "Destiny," a person renowned among Peak Player, and even Zhen Yi's rumored boyfriend, to risk everything to launch a surprise attack just to save a dispensable NPC?

Abnormal, extremely abnormal.

Charlatans have always been the most mysterious group of people. Behind their simple actions often lie extremely complex thoughts. Even though the person opposite him was a Priest, Mo Shu did not dare to be careless.

He felt that Cheng Shi was trying to trap him. Perhaps the other party had already laid traps around the area before he left, waiting for him to leave so he could kill him. That's why he was so calm and didn't stop him. This also meant that there was probably a trap called "Destiny" nearby.

Even though the opponent was a Priest, at their rank, class was no longer a restriction; everyone had some items.

For example, didn't he himself also possess the gift of Deception?

Therefore, Mo Shu dared not act rashly before figuring out the other party's purpose.

But his inaction does not mean that Cheng Shi will not move either.

As soon as Cheng Shi finished speaking, a pair of Dice appeared in his hand. He chuckled twice and tossed the Dice high into the air, letting them scatter into every corner of the room.

Mo Shu's gaze sharpened, and he smiled, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Never-Lost Gambling Tools; it's certainly interesting that a Priest would choose this talent."

While he was talking, his hands were also busy. Now that he knew how Cheng Shi had gotten close to him, he naturally couldn't let the other party use the same trick again. So he waved his hand and offered all the clutter in the room to his Lord of Grace, Annihilation.

"The real fun is yet to come."

Cheng Shi didn't stop at all. He threw out another handful of Dice, Mo Shu frowned and Annihilation Dice again.

The two of them continued like this, one sprinkling and the other throwing, and after two rounds, Mo Shu laughed.

Are you stalling for time?

"What, you think you can get that NPC out of my sight in such a short time?"

Cheng Shi laughed, but he didn't respond at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to slip in a Mask amidst the Dice Rain.

Mo Shu was still casually Annihilation the things in the room, but when he suddenly saw a Mask he had never seen before appear in the Dice, he was stunned and withdrew the power of [Annihilation] from his hand.

Not only that, his gaze immediately fixed on Cheng Shi's eyes, attempting to uncover the truth behind this Mask within Cheng Shi's eyes.

Cheng Shi ignored him and continued to sprinkle the dice, and soon the Dice Rain became increasingly messy.

A magician's hat, an acrobatic costume, a beast-taming whip... and a strange-looking little flesh-and-blood man.

As more and more things dared not Annihilation, Mo Shu's expression gradually darkened.

His intuition told him that what was inside the room might be even more terrifying than the potential traps of Destiny that might lurk around him.

So he decided not to play along with this Fate Weaver anymore. He frowned and decided to use the Void to leave and continue his hunt.

All previous agreements are now null and void.

Just as Mo Shu was about to say goodbye to Cheng Shi moved again!

He raised his hand again and delivered a "Thunderclap Judgment" with his mouth.

"Boom--"

Mo Shu's gaze sharpened and shifted slightly to the side. Seeing that it was yet another blank round, his face darkened as he said:

"The boy who cried wolf won't work on me. No matter how many times you try, I'll dodge it."

That's not how you understand "Nothingness." You should make the world Nothingness, not do some inexplicable stupid things.

"It's almost time, so I'm not playing with you anymore. Goodbye Fate Weaver."

Just as Mo Shu was about to use the power of [Annihilation] to pierce through the Void, Cheng Shi raised his hand again and fired a shot in front of him...

No, five [Thunderclap Judgment] strikes!

Not bad, five shots in a row!

He didn't come specifically to save Tullatin, but he wasn't just after the Clown Substitute in Mo Shu's body either. He had made plans before coming, intending to test the quality of the "Vitality" Divine Authority with a "mutual destruction" battle!

Yes, mutual destruction!

Therefore, Cheng Shi's five Thunderbolt were not aimed at Mo Shu at all, but rather randomly filled the entire space with Thunderbolt.

As Mo Shu had said, he was cautious. The moment Cheng Shi raised his hand, he dodged again. But what he didn't expect was that this time the Thunderbolt was real, and there was no way to avoid it!

In this confined space, the raging Thunderbolt almost tore through the entire space-time, but if it was only this level of attack, the Cleaner would still have a chance to seize the opportunity to leave before the Thunderbolt fully erupted.

However, Cheng Shi's offensive did not stop there. While unleashing five consecutive [Thunderclap Judgment], he also activated the talent [Destiny]: Destiny Also Has Divergent Paths!

Before misfortune struck, an even greater misfortune was already brewing.

Thus, under the influence of [Destiny], the excessively dense lightning plasma clashed and merged together, triggering a resonance of [Thunder] Divine Power at a certain coincidental moment. Under the unrestrained pouring of [Thunderbolt] Divine Authority, even the Void was temporarily frozen for a moment. And it was in this moment that Void Mo Shu's expression changed drastically, as he had just opened up the void and did not have time to escape!

"Boom boom boom boom boom—"

The house was blown up.

A torrent of lightning crashed down, instantly turning the entire house to ashes. Even everything within a radius of several hundred meters was leveled by the overflowing, violent power!

Even though it has been reduced to ruins, the horrifying scorched earth still retains flashes of lightning and incessant thunder.

This moment was like the arrival of thunder, a resurrection from the dead!

Under such a devastating lightning strike, no one could escape, except...

Someone who also enjoys the Divine Authority of the True God.

Cheng Shi, the Clown possessed a portion of the Divine Authority of "Vitality," knelt naked on this land plowed by Thunderbolt, his flesh hanging down, his body charred, his wounds revealing bone, and his face terrifying.

But at least he didn't die; even the resonance of five [Thunderclap Judgment] attacks couldn't completely extinguish his Vitality!

Conversely, his opponent, his target, the Chosen of God of [Annihilation], Mo Shu, he...

He didn't die!

Not only was he not dead, but he was in even better condition than Cheng Shi, because he didn't even have a single wound on his body, and his condition was so good that it seemed like he had recovered to his peak level.

Although his body didn't die, his spirit was almost scared to death.

His pupils, shrunken to pinpoints, and his eyes wide with fury revealed the turmoil within him.

Mo Shu never imagined that the Fate Weaver had come here not to kill him, but to perish together with him.

Strangely, although he clearly felt himself die for a moment, he was somehow brought back to life.

That wasn't his backup plan, because he had just confirmed that his backup plan was still in place and hadn't been triggered.

Strangeness.

He felt the lingering, world-destroying power, and looking at Cheng Shi, who was kneeling on the ground and had not died, his evaluation of the madman in front of him rose infinitely higher, and he even began to feel fear.

What exactly is this person trying to do?

Peak Player often don't just go crazy; they can benefit from this madness. But what about this Fate Weaver in front of us?

What are his gains?

No, something's wrong!

Mo Shu made a move. He didn't intend to think too much and wanted to kill the madman who was trying to take him down with him.

At the same time, Cheng Shi also made a move.

He burst into a hoarse, grating laugh, crawled forward two steps like a zombie, grabbed a charred, broken object the size of a palm from the ruins, snapped his fingers, and vanished instantly.

Mo Shu's figure froze at the spot where Cheng Shi had disappeared, almost leaving that damned Fate Weaver under his fist.

He watched the other person's figure disappear, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"Excellent tactic!"

But... what exactly were the methods used?!
