Chapter 537: Chapter 446: Are you addicted to baldness? (5000)

“As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three years. I haven’t seen Divine Power for almost five days now, so does fifteen years sound about right?”

“Wow, who knew you could interpret it like that?” Phoenix Mountain flushed with embarrassment and quipped, “If my elementary school language teacher knew about this, not even a Star Shining level master could hold the lid on his coffin!”

“Hold my ass! Let that old guy come here! I’ll punch him so hard he’ll obediently put the lid back on himself!” Li Zheng glanced at Phoenix Mountain, then addressed everyone, “Leave Divine Power to me, you all stay out of it.”

Phoenix Mountain glanced at the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade flying around everyone, constantly cutting off tentacles, and said reluctantly, “It sounds like we could even jump in if we wanted to.”

Li Zheng glanced at him again, “I’m mainly telling Zhan the Heroine not to interfere, why are you feeling so smug?”

As his words fell, Li Zheng drew his Sheathed Sword and activated the Fire Attachment, charging into the densely packed tentacle surround with the Flaming Longsword.

A protest from Phoenix Mountain came from behind, “Since when the hell was I feeling smug?!”

Zhan Zhouzhou stood calmly with the Purple Thunder Longsword, positioning herself in front of everyone, focusing intently on the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade in motion, ready for any tentacles that might break through to attack them.

Mirel watched the tentacles with eyes full of curiosity, wanting to ask what kind of creatures they were, but alas, there was a language barrier, and no one in the team could understand Abyssal tongue except for Li Zheng, making it pointless to ask.

However, seeing this situation, it seemed like Li Zheng had a vendetta with these tentacles, so as a servant, she naturally couldn’t stand by idly.

Thus, she also took off her whip, her small face full of seriousness, aligning with Zhan Zhouzhou in a pincer formation to guard everyone.

Zhan Zhouzhou gave her a cold glance, nodding to herself, realizing that the pets Li Zheng had tamed seemed to have strong combat awareness, though unfortunately their strength was a bit lacking, only at the Platinum tier.

’Poli~’

The Red Polis carried Xiao Ying behind everyone, suddenly elongating themselves, forming a giant pale red barrier to cover the rear.

Now, the whole small camping area had virtually no blind spots, being tightly guarded by one person, one pet, one blade, and two special neutral creatures.

Lin Fengjiao sat dazedly inside the small camp, feeling utterly safe; there was no place more secure in the Matrix Realm.

Phoenix Mountain and Yan Guang huddled next to Lin Fengjiao, feeling quite helpless.

Too many experts around them led to those slightly less skilled, like them, becoming the ’old, weak, and vulnerable’ that needed protection.

Phoenix Mountain and Yan Guang exchanged glances and scratched their heads together, “This is so awkward…”

Elsewhere, after Li Zheng charged into the tentacle encirclement with the Fiery Longsword, he truly felt that without the magical weapon Demon Blade, his real strength was indeed weaker than expected.

“Looks like last time when I encountered Divine Power, if it wasn’t for that mysterious person being there, I would’ve been toast.” Li Zheng deflected an attacking tentacle with a swipe, finding that with only a Diamond quality Sheathed Sword, he had to exert all his strength to sever a tentacle.

But with the cloaked person not restraining things, Divine Power’s True Projection could go all out without holding back.

Those slick tentacles swarming in the sky seemed endless, and if he fought steadily like this, although in the short term Li Zheng could cope.

However, once his stamina waned and he couldn’t cut through tentacles in one go, the scale of victory would undoubtedly tip towards Divine Power.

“I’ll have to use that move.”

Li Zheng’s eyes suddenly contracted, the flames tangled around his Longsword surged fiercely, and Genetic Force poured out like flowing water.

In an instant, a Fiery Giant Sword over forty meters long appeared in Li Zheng’s hand, the scorching heat forcing Divine Power to back off a bit.

Holding the Fiery Giant Sword, he stirred it a few times in front of him, causing the tentacles to retreat to a certain extent, revealing Divine Power’s true form hidden within the encirclement.

“Found you!”

The Demon Thunder Wings on his back quivered, pushing his speed to fifth gear, flying so fast that it almost left a blue trail in mid-air.

Approaching Divine Power, Li Zheng gripped the sword with both hands and swung downwards, yelling mid-way, his whole body bulging, transforming into an incarnation of the Abyssal Frenzied Demon.

With the Abyssal ability boosting himself, his strength multiplied, severing countless tentacles blocking him, unafraid of the high temperatures.

“Die for me!”

Snap Snap Snap~

The resilient tentacles broke apart, and even with the Double Diamond Physique boost, Li Zheng still found it somewhat strenuous.

The Sheathed Sword gradually neared the inner layer of the tentacle’s protective circle, finally breaking through the last circle of tentacles, revealing the child-like body within.

Divine Power stood in the center, wrapped by tentacles, eyes a haze, staring directly at Li Zheng, mouth cracking into a terrifying grin full of sharp teeth.

“Meat!~”

The True Projection had power but lacked clear consciousness, producing a garbled voice deep from its throat, and tiny holes appeared densely all over its body, emitting a foul stench.

“Poison Needles?” Li Zheng’s corner of the mouth twisted into a cold arc.

How could he possibly forget the trick that nearly cost him his life last time?

I’ve been waiting for this!

Li Zheng released a swirl of sparks, his Spiritual Power suddenly unleashing, causing the sparks to connect like a splendid firework display.

“Snap!”

A finger snap resounded.

“Boom!”

The array of sparks exploded, individually not powerful but enough to blast Divine Power’s body into a bloody mess.

Li Zheng, protected by Extreme Isolation, didn’t fear the high temperatures, retreating a distance with the explosion’s push.

“Meat!!”

Such an injury couldn’t naturally claim Divine Power’s life; the first wave of Poison Needles was obliterated by Li Zheng’s spark and explosive ability, making Divine Power instinctively prepare a second wave. His muddled blood and flesh opened up, and the dense Poison Needles were a chaotic sight.
