Sure enough, Death Messenger took out a black talisman and a pocket watch from his arms.
He suddenly crushed the black talisman, and held on to the strange pocket watch with his other hand. He had just squeezed out a trace of a desperado's evil smile on his face, but when he raised his head, it froze in an instant.
In front of me, it was as empty as a field.
There were no men, no wreckage, and even the last bit of bloody smell had been blown away by the night wind. Only the silver-faced man stood quietly, with the black mist billowing slightly, as if he had just dusted away a few grains of dust.
Complacency? Calculation? All turned into a bone-chilling cold.
Run!
He didn't even have time to think about how the other party did it, and his survival instinct exploded.
"Puff puff puff--"
Dozens of purple poisonous fog bombs hit Long Jinyu, and the thick smoke instantly swallowed up the light and figure at the entrance of the cave.
"Little tricks!"
A deep shout came from the poisonous mist. Immediately afterwards, a loud dragon roar tore through the thick turbidity, and a solid nine-color Dragon Fist blasted out! The fist wind was fierce and violent, stirring the airflow, and the poisonous mist was torn open a channel, which was quickly diluted and dissipated.
Long Jinyu glanced at the opened stone slab not far away. As soon as he approached, a series of dull explosions came from deep in the corridor below!
"Boom--!!!"
The earth and rocks collapsed, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the entire tunnel entrance collapsed and was buried in a violent chain explosion.
"Sure enough."
Long Jinyu snorted coldly, and Soul Power stirred up the whole body and shook away the gravel. He raised his right hand, a warm and thick yellow light lit up in his palm, and he pressed down on the collapsed spot.
"But you still want to stop me with this little bit of earth and stone?"
"The Ultimate Land - Open!"
The blocked earth and rock formations in front seemed to be alive, actively "flowing" to both sides under the yellow light, forming a temporary passage that only allowed one person to pass through. Long Jinyu's figure flashed into it and followed closely.
In the deep and twisting corridor, Death Messenger was flying forward at an alarming speed, like a strange black bird flying close to the ground. As he flew, he murmured nervously and accurately detonated the explosives hidden in the corridor wall.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Loud noises of explosions and collapses were heard continuously from behind, and smoke, dust and rubble were chasing after him.
There was a look of resentment and pride on his face. Being able to lead "Hand of Death" in the Mingdou Mountain Range for many years depends not only on Evil Martial Soul, but also on this deep-rooted caution and multi-hand preparation. An attack like tonight is not the first, but this time the enemy is particularly difficult. But as long as you can escape with your life and rely on the support of the Holy Religion to raise a new bandit group, it is only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, he made a mistake in his calculations--
The one chasing behind me tonight is Long Jinyu!
I don't know how long it had been flying, but there was a faint flow of fresh air ahead, and the tunnel was about to end! Death Messenger was refreshed, increased his speed by another three points, and suddenly got out from an exit hidden in a crack in the mountain.
The moonlight was dim, shining on a forest clearing. Outside the exit, twelve figures stood quietly like sculptures.
They wore tattered armor, their skin was lifeless iron-grey, their eyes were hollow, their fingernails were long and purple-black, and their bodies exuded a stench of mud and rotten flesh.
Seeing Death Messenger rushing out, the twelve "people" knelt down on one knee in unison, with their heads lowered.
"Rise up, my corpse slaves."
Death Messenger breathed heavily and his voice was hoarse, "Stay here and wean your master off! What a damn unlucky thing! This time we ran into trouble, and that woman's aura... maybe it was Titled Douluo! Humph, but it doesn't matter, with the blessing of the Holy Cult and Lord Holy Son, five years at most! After five years, I will crush her like a bed bug!"
As soon as he finished speaking--
"Boom!!!"
The rock wall at the tunnel entrance suddenly exploded, and Long Jinyu, wrapped in an earthy yellow Soul Power, broke out of the ground and landed on the ground. The silver mask glowed coldly in the moonlight.
"It's a pity that you don't have five years left!"
The cold voice seemed to come from Jiuyou!
"You! How could you..."
Death Messenger was horrified, as if he had seen a ghost, "I have buried seventeen explosives in this passage! How could you catch up so quickly?! Who are you?!"
Long Jinyu is slowly approaching, every step is like stepping on Death Messenger's heart.
"The person who wants your life."
Five simple words, filled with murderous intent.
He glanced at the twelve corpse slaves, and a complicated emotion passed through his heart. In the original work, it was Electrolux who awakened their remaining consciousness with supreme necromancy magic and gave them the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands. He did not know that kind of magic, but since he intervened in the cause and effect in advance, he must take responsibility.
However, you have to clean up the trash first.
At the moment when Long Jinyu's murderous intent was concentrated, Death Messenger's eyes flashed with a ruthless look. He had no doubt that these corpse slaves would not even be able to stop the opponent for a moment.
There is no way to escape! We can only fight to the death!
A trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and he took out the weird pocket watch again, with a mixture of physical pain and a sinister smile on his face, "You forced me to do this! Go to hell!"
He injected Soul Power desperately into his pocket watch.
There are no indicators on the dial, just a slowly rotating gray vortex.
With the injection of Soul Power, the vortex suddenly accelerated, and a gray light that seemed to be able to erode the foundation of all things filled the air.
"The 'Time Withering' given by Lord Holy Son! It can even swallow up time. Let me see how you can handle it!" Death Messenger laughed maniacally.
Long Jinyu suddenly froze.
An indescribable strange feeling enveloped his whole body. Time became sticky and chaotic around him.
He could clearly "feel" that the cells under the skin were rapidly metabolizing, aging, and dying; the tips of the black hair lost their luster and turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye; the vitality of the muscles and bones was rapidly passing away, and the movements became heavy and sluggish.
What's even more frightening is that the life force that was forcibly accelerated and deprived did not dissipate. Instead, it turned into streams of pure but cold energy, which was injected back into Death Messenger's body along the invisible connection, causing his pale face to glow with a sickly red light!
'It's not a direct attack on the body or soul... it's about manipulating the flow of time, accelerating my life program, and stealing the lost vitality!'
Long Jinyu was shocked. For the first time since time travel, he felt the approach of "death" so clearly, 'System Treasure... This pocket watch is another creation of the Transmigrator system? It actually involves the law of time?!'
"Ho--!"
Not daring to neglect, within his body, the Ultimate Life attributes were stimulated by him with all his strength, and Dragon God Bloodline boiled! A massive amount of life energy surged from the depths of the bone marrow, forcibly repairing the body that had been ravaged by time.
"For a time, a terrifying tug-of-war formed in his body -
On the other hand, the dark power of "Time Withering" crazily accelerated time, greedily extracting the source of his life.
On the other side, the green torrent of "Ultimate Life" surges forward, desperately replenishing the lost vitality.
It's like opening the water inlet and drain pipes of a pool at the same time. The "life water level" in the pool fluctuates violently, rising and falling.
But the key is that maintaining the high-speed operation of the "water inlet pipe" requires crazy consumption of his own massive Soul Power and mental power. Every second is like tearing apart his meridians and soul!
Death Messenger was obviously aware of this, and his maniacal laughter became even sharper. "It's useless! Struggle! The stronger your vitality, the more nutrients my 'Time Withering' can extract! Tsk tsk, what a perfect vitality... it forces me to use such a precious treasure! Only by killing you and making you my strongest corpse slave can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Long Jinyu's aura is weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soul Power is about to bottom out, and his mental defense is crumbling.
Right here on the verge of collapse--
"Buzz--!!"
A vast, ancient dragon roar that sounded like it traveled through endless time and space exploded from the deepest part of his heart!
In the blood, some kind of nobler and more original "power" was angered by the external evil law of time and suddenly awakened!
A nine-color halo appeared uncontrollably from Long Jinyu's body surface.
The left eye was as silver as the moon, and the right eye was as golden as the sun. The bright light instantly shattered the silver mask on his face, and the camouflaged long black hair faded away, returning to its original silvery white color like flowing moonlight.
A stagnant, majestic, and unyielding force of time slowly spread out with him as the center.
Innate Domain, protect the master by yourself--
"Time-Reversing Dragon Court"!
Although it is a prototype, its range only covers the whole body for three feet, and it is extremely unstable, but it has been forced into this "accelerated" time field, opening up a small "region of countercurrent" that is absolutely calm.
The gray "accelerating" time flow and the nine-colored "countercurrent" time domain are in fierce conflict within a few inches.
At the junction of the two, a strange scene appears in the air -
On the left, a fallen leaf completes a complete cycle from emerald green to withered yellow and then to dust in an instant;
On the right side, the same fallen leaves are frozen in mid-air, and there is even a vague tendency to "flow back" from withered yellow to buds.
The authority of time collides, annihilates, and reconstructs here.
"No! Impossible!!"
The ferocious smile on Death Messenger's face twisted into boundless fear, "This is an 'artifact' that can corrode even Titled Douluo! How could you... what kind of monster are you?!"
The pocket watch in his hand flashed with gray light and made an overwhelming "click" sound, and fine cracks appeared on the watch case.
That's it now!
Long Jinyu endured the tearing pain in his brain, his eyes bursting with light.
Mental shock-condensation!
The invisible sharp cone pierced Death Messenger's spiritual world that was lost due to fear!
"Uh-huh--!"
He held his head and howled miserably, his movements instantly stiffened, and the gray light on his pocket watch gradually dimmed.
Then, Long Jinyu tried his best and opened his mouth--
A dragon's breath that was condensed to the extreme and contained the destructive nine-color brilliance, shot out like a spear of judgment across time and space!
"No--!!!"
Death Messenger only had time to let out a short, desperate howl before he was completely swallowed up by the nine-color dragon breath.
The pocket watch, its owner, and the sinful soul were annihilated together and turned into nothingness in the pure and domineering nine-color light.
"Ahem... poof!"
Long Jinyu knelt on one knee and vomited out a stream of blood with golden threads. Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, his face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
"Damn it, I was too careless and almost fell into trouble here. Such a powerful evil weapon... was willing to be used on a small character like Death Messenger. The handiwork of 'Holy Son'... far exceeded expectations!"
