Contamination and escape
The system hosts on site stared wide-eyed at the rain of swords pouring down from the sky, wondering who had launched such a powerful attack.
"What a terrifying offensive! Who is attacking the extraterrestrial demons? This intensity is comparable to the great battle between Liu Yi and the Demon God."
"Could it be Liu Yi made the move? Otherwise, who else in the entire Azure Firmament Continent could unleash such a powerful attack?"
"It can't be him! If it were Liu Yi, he wouldn't need to launch such a long-range attack; he would have already killed him in person."
"That's right, it's definitely not Liu Yi. What do you guys think... could it be the Fairness System?"
"Huh? No way! The Fairness System has never shown any offensive capabilities!"
"Not revealing it doesn't mean it won't attack. How could such a wondrous Fairness System not have attack methods?"
"Exactly! Only naive people would believe the Fairness System has no power! Let's get away quickly to avoid being caught in the aftermath."
The people present immediately realized that this was not the time to discuss things; a slight misstep could result in being caught in the crossfire, causing serious injury or even death on the spot.
No one dared to delay, and they immediately fled at full speed away from Ye Chen, fearing that they would be caught in the aftershocks.
At this moment, the Slaughter System, with its celestial bell atop its head, withstood the overwhelming onslaught. Huge spatial rifts had already been blasted open around it, tearing at it frantically, trying to devour it.
The terrifying spatial devouring power had no effect on it; it remained standing motionless.
It simply kept pouring energy into the Immortal Bell, desperately resisting wave after wave of attacks.
Ye Chen stared at the overwhelming rain of swords, his face pale and his eyes filled with horror.
If it weren't for the Slaughter System, he would probably have been annihilated long ago.
But this stalemate couldn't last long; he surely understood the principle that prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat.
He immediately asked with a worried expression, "System, are we just supposed to passively take the beating?"
Is there no way to fight back?
Also, how do we escape now?
The Slaughter System replied coldly, "According to our calculations, defense is the optimal choice right now. Once the enemy's offensive weakens, we can take the opportunity to escape."
Ye Chen remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then suggested, "System, could we directly enter the spatial rift to escape? Perhaps this would allow us to break free from the Fairness System's lock."
The Slaughter System coldly refused. "Escape through the spatial rift is extremely dangerous."
The spatial rift is rife with chaotic spatial currents; it's impossible to know where one will be swept away, and the cost is too high. This method is unacceptable.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen fell silent.
He knew his own strength was weak and his vision was far inferior to the Slaughter System, so the best choice for now was to obediently follow the system's arrangements.
On the other side, Liu Yi saw that the attack had continued for a long time but still could not do anything to the Slaughter System, and immediately realized that there was no point in continuing like this.
Why not go all in? Maybe we can take the opportunity to kill Ye Chen. As for killing the Slaughter System, there's no hope at all.
Having made up his mind, he immediately unleashed both the Sword of Cause and Effect and the Sword of Negative Energy.
Even the sword, refined from negative energy, was mixed in, waiting for an opportunity to ambush them.
The Slaughter System suddenly sensed an even stronger attack approaching, and said calmly:
"The Fairness System has realized it can't do anything to me and is unwilling to continue the entanglement. This is the last wave of its offensive."
If we can withstand this attack, we can escape alive.
Before it finished speaking, it poured even more energy into the Immortal Bell, further strengthening its defenses.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen gazed at the dense rain of swords pouring down from the sky, their earth-shattering power pressing in.
His scalp tingled, and his heart clenched. He was worried about whether the Slaughter System could withstand this wave of attacks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The speed at which the Immortal Bell's defensive shield could regenerate was already outpacing the speed at which it shattered.
The dense barrage of attacks instantly broke through the defensive light shield, crashing down on the Immortal Bell like a storm, producing a series of clanging and ear-piercing sounds of refined iron clashing.
The Slaughter System was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blast, but it held on desperately, preventing the Immortal Bell from being directly blasted away.
"Clang!"
The sword, refined from negative energy, slammed into the celestial bell with earth-shattering power.
The already shaky immortal bell was blasted away from the top of the Slaughter System's head;
The sword did not annihilate; instead, it instantly transformed into a surge of negative energy that landed directly on Ye Chen, frantically rushing towards his limbs and bones.
It rushed into the sea of consciousness and instantly entangled the main body of the Slaughter System and Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit.
Once Ye Chen was tainted by this purified negative energy, the evil thoughts such as greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and hatred contained within it all entangled his Primordial Spirit.
They amplified his emotions and desires, distorted his consciousness and mind, and fundamentally changed his perception.
He first let out bursts of strange laughter involuntarily, then he was crying and laughing at the same time, filled with shock and anger, and finally he complained about everything and everything, cursing loudly:
"Slaughter System, you liar!"
Didn't you claim to be the strongest system in all the heavens and myriad realms?
How come I can't even beat the Fairness System? It's made me end up like this.
Are you using me as a tool, taking advantage of me behind my back all this time...?
A string of venomous curses poured out of his mouth.
At this moment, the Slaughter System itself unleashed the power of the Slaughter Principle, desperately trying to dispel the negative energy it had been tainted with.
However, it is difficult to completely eliminate it in a short time; we can only force back most of it first, and then forcibly suppress the remaining negative energy.
By the time it saw that Ye Chen had been corrupted by negative energy and his mind was completely distorted, it was too late to save him.
It could no longer maintain its cold, calm tone, and said with a mixture of anger and heartache:
"Damn it, what a treacherous Fairness System! I never expected to be tricked by it."
Where did it gather such malevolent negative energy that even this system cannot immediately eliminate it?
Now, not only is my physical body corrupted, but my host Ye Chen, is also completely ruined.
He can never get back the Slaughter Points he owed; he's lost a fortune!
Having said that, it knew it couldn't afford to get entangled with the Fairness System any longer, or it might suffer a loss.
It immediately transformed into a streak of black light and entered the Immortal Bell, driving it to crash violently into the spatial rift. In an instant, it was swept into the spatial turbulence and disappeared without a trace.
Without the protection of the Slaughter System and the Immortal Bell, Ye Chen was instantly blasted into dust by the countless swords of cause and effect and swords of negative energy, and then completely swallowed by the spatial rift.
Seeing that both the Slaughter System and Ye Chen were entangled in the purified negative energy, Liu Yi smiled.
Immediately afterwards, the Slaughter System abandoned Ye Chen and fled with the Immortal Bell, while Ye Chen was instantly blasted to death, his soul scattered.
Seeing this, he was not surprised at all, only feeling that such behavior was very much in line with the system settings.
Most of those systems are just looking for a host, a tool to be pushed out and made a scapegoat when problems arise.
Now that Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit has been corrupted by negative energy and there is no hope of saving him, it is only natural that the Slaughter System has abandoned him.
His only question was whether the purified negative energy had actually harmed the Slaughter System.
However, he didn't have high hopes.
After all, the other party is a real system, and this negative energy can only cause temporary interference. Given some time, it will definitely be completely eliminated.
However, he still felt some regret that he hadn't been able to eliminate the Slaughter System; he could only watch helplessly as it escaped.
I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to find them again in the future.
