Even the old king could only temporarily avoid her sharp edge.
Wang Xiaojiu's idea was also very simple: although the Fate Master can foresee and dodge attacks, you will eventually get tired and exhausted, right?
You can dodge me 999 times, but if you can't dodge me on the 1000th time, you will definitely die.
I can fail 999 times, but you will die if you fail even once.
The saying goes that youth has the greatest advantage. Even the demigod of the Fate Master will not be as vigorous as he was when he gets old. Wang Xiaojiu is still young, and he has a kind of oppressive feeling of being able to punch the sky and the earth.
The old king tried to retaliate many times, but Wang Xiaojiu's seemingly reckless attack system was actually full of traps.
Every time he tries to retaliate, he sees a series of deadly moves coming from fate, as if he will be fatally attacked as soon as he makes a move.
The king is too old. Even a demigod cannot remain at his peak forever; as they age, their organs will rapidly fail.
He is no longer at the peak of his career as the Virtuoso; his speed and accuracy are gradually falling behind the pace of the younger knights.
Looking at the fallen trees, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "She's a demigod. I'll never beat her in this lifetime."
Li Dongze said expressionlessly, "She was already at Rank B when she ran away from home back then. It's normal for her to complete two more life-or-death challenges in more than ten years."
"Huh? Where's March?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked. "Wasn't she just here a moment ago?"
...
...
Wang Xiaojiu swung the more than three-meter-long guillotine with a whooshing sound, and any tree that was touched immediately shattered into pieces of wood chips.
The onlookers felt that this was no longer a human being, but a walking humanoid weapon.
Strangely, even if she was a knight, she shouldn't have been fighting at full strength for so long. As time passed, Wang Xiaojiu showed no signs of fatigue.
The Fifth Princess stood at the entrance of the ship's hold, watching this scene, and sighed, "Luckily, I didn't lie to her, otherwise it would have been troublesome."
Marquis Bolton's voice came weakly from behind: "Aren't you friends? Would she really kill you?"
The Fifth Princess said, "Do you know how excited she was when she obtained the A-level Plague Box? I thought she would keep the Plague Box, but she turned around and left the multiverse and put the Plague Box in the main city of the superconducting world... In my opinion, this kind of person is much crazier than Qing Chen."
At this moment, Wang Xiaojiu chased after the old king, fighting his way for thirty kilometers. The old king's breathing became uneven, and hundreds of knife marks appeared on his black robe.
Unfortunately, none of the cuts managed to harm the old king.
The next moment, the old king finally saw Wang Xiaojiu's weakness in his destiny. The opponent was not prepared to counterattack and could not counterattack.
This strike is sure to hit!
A short sword fell from his sleeve, pierced through the gap in the guillotine's long blade, and stabbed into Wang Xiaojiu's abdomen!
However, the knife did not penetrate even an inch!
The short sword sliced open the hem of Wang Xiaojiu's combat uniform, revealing that her slender waist was wrapped in neat white bandages, which made her waist look even thinner, but her firm abdominal muscles could still be seen under the bandages!
The old king's pupils constricted slightly; it was a forbidden item!
Wang Xiaojiu had been chasing him for so long, as if he knew the Fate Master's mechanism of gaining the upper hand. He deliberately set a trap in this dense attack, took a hit head-on, and blocked it with a forbidden object!
Forbidden item, the priest's bandage.
The inmate must be a patient with a penetrating abdominal wound. After being bandaged, the wound heals in 3 minutes and the inmate gains double the strength and stamina for 24 hours.
To contain this bandage, the person in captivity must endure pain every day, creating new penetrating wounds for themselves.
Those who can take in this bandage are the most ruthless of the ruthless.
At this point, forbidden items that were once rarely seen in the general public began to surface one by one, becoming the trump cards of the extraordinary individuals.
No wonder Wang Xiaojiu has amazing stamina; it's not just because of her knightly heritage, but also because she possesses this forbidden item!
Knights are disliked by other superhumans in the Eastern Continent for several reasons: First, they have extremely long lifespans, able to outlive you even without fighting; second, they are incredibly fast, with the speed of shikigami (spirits) being far superior to that of knights, such as Onmyoji and Chen's Painters; third, knights have exceptional stamina, readily engaging in prolonged battles that can exhaust you for three hours while remaining unscathed; and fourth, knights enjoy fighting in groups, with their hidden messengers appearing unexpectedly from nowhere.
At this moment, Wang Xiaojiu had brought the knight's endurance to its fullest potential!
The flaw she's showing now is one she deliberately revealed!
In an instant, Wang Xiaojiu flicked his wrist, and the more than one-meter-long hilt of the knife split off from the huge guillotine, revealing a slender short sword!
It's as if that heavy, imposing guillotine is actually just the scabbard of this short sword.
In his destiny, the old king saw his neck bleeding profusely from the slash of a short sword. He tried to retreat frantically, but found himself already exhausted.
Even though he had seen everything beforehand, there was no way he could avoid it!
The world fell silent.
Wang Xiaojiu swiftly drew his sword, pulling the short sword from the guillotine, slicing it across the old king's neck, spun around, and then reinserted it into the guillotine.
Flowing smoothly like clouds and water, without any hindrance.
Wang Xiaojiu stood before the old king, carrying the guillotine. Her swaying ponytail and neat white bandages around her waist conveyed an air of utter decisiveness: "Dead."
No sooner had he finished speaking than crimson blood spurted from the old king's neck.
"Back off!" the Fifth Princess shouted from the airship, "Beware of the Ten Thousand Serpents!"
The old king stood rooted to the spot, but countless lines beneath his skin were twisting wildly.
The Ten Thousand Serpents is an extremely rare S-class forbidden creature. It is a life-saving containment device that sacrifices the host's wife and twelve offspring. When the host dies, the Ten Thousand Serpents will attack all creatures that have attacked the host within 12 hours, relentlessly until the host is dead.
Therefore, while everyone thought his target was Shindai Unra and Hyakume-ki, he had already prepared a backup plan for himself.
The old king couldn't see his fate after encountering Li Dongze and the others, because by then it was already past the time limit of God's perspective. He didn't know he would definitely die here, but if someone outside God's perspective tried to ambush him, then he would sacrifice all the participants to the Ten Thousand Serpents.
That's why he told Duke Storm that he would help the Fate Master family eliminate the last threat. His most conservative estimate for this battle was to capture Kamishiro Unro alive. Even if he failed, he would kill Kamishiro Unro and the demigods who participated in the ambush.
One person dragging two demigods down to hell—that's a worthwhile deal.
Wang Xiaojiu calmly stepped back. A venomous snake poked its head out of the old king's mouth, and two more emerged from his eyes... who knows how many more black venomous snakes were born beneath his skin.
The venomous snake in the old king's mouth leaped towards Wang Xiaojiu's face like lightning, but Wang Xiaojiu raised the guillotine to block it.
With a clang!
The venomous snake landed unharmed, but Wang Xiaojiu suddenly felt a numbness in his arm; the snake's speed was comparable to that of a demigod.
Most importantly, this venomous snake is a forbidden object. If it cannot be harmed, it will hunt its target to the ends of the earth, making it impossible to contain.
However, at that moment, a black blade of light burst forth from the side, slicing the venomous snake in two!
Wang Xiaojiu looked at Sanyue beside him: "The knife by the fire pit?"
“No, it’s Qingchen’s sword,” March shook her head.
Before leaving for the Western Continent, Qing Chen left all the forbidden items on Ginkgo Mountain, to be disposed of by that old man and given to the most suitable person.
The reason March appeared on this battlefield was because she was entrusted by the old man to bring the forbidden item ACE-001, the sword of the gods, to destroy the ten thousand snakes.
This divine blade can even cut through forbidden things.
The venomous snakes inside the old king's body surged out like a spring, spreading out to attack San Yue, Li Dongze, Ye Wan, Shen Daiyunluo, and Wang Xiaojiu.
In a series of eighteen consecutive slashes, March cleaved the newly emerged serpent and the old king's corpse to pieces, pulverizing all the venomous snakes inside.
Fate-teller rarely loses, simply because they are too calculating, even using death to create opportunities and benefits for their families.
This time, however, the Fate Master's schemes were defeated by the chessboard of heaven and earth on Ginkgo Mountain.
In March, Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the old king's hand and head from the ground and put them into a burlap bag. Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just arrived, frowned and said, "You have this kind of fetish?"
March gave him a cold look: "These are all useful."
"What's it for?"
“The wooden fish at Fayun Temple used his head to interrogate him,” March explained. “King Roosevelt certainly knew many secrets.”
"What about his right hand?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
“That’s what Grandpa Yinxingshan wanted, and I don’t know what he plans to do with it,” March shook her head.
Wang Xiaojiu looked up and saw the Fifth Princess standing at the cabin door of the airship waving goodbye to her. This Fifth Princess had killed her own father and was about to leave the Eastern Continent immediately to return to the Western Continent to take control of the kingdom.
She had no intention of continuing to fight in the Eastern Continent, nor did she intend to join forces with the Eastern Continent to defeat the family.
"Goodbye NO.9, best of luck!" The Fifth Princess said with a smile as the airship ascended into the sky.
Wang Xiaojiu coldly watched her leave: "Aren't you going to stay for a meal before you go? You're already here."
The Fifth Princess smiled and said, "If I stay, you'll kill me next, won't you? One last friendly reminder: the royal air force fleet is not as simple as it seems. As far as I know, they're hiding even more ferocious weapons, so please be careful!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaojiu frowned.
The Fifth Princess laughed and said, "The Hundred-Eyed Demon sliced the aerial fortress open like a cake, but she only sliced one side. The other side is like the other half of the moon, which you can never see. That's where the most dangerous place is."
The airship gradually moved away until it became a black dot in the sky.
Wang Xiaojiu looked towards the aerial fortress. They had been chasing it for thirty kilometers, and at this angle, they could now see half of the aerial fortress.
But behind the royal aerial fortress, in the area untouched by the Hundred-Eyed Demon, the protective deck opened up like scales, revealing rows of nuclear-powered war robots standing behind it!
There are tens of thousands of them!
In an instant, the eyes of the previously silent war robot simultaneously lit up with an icy blue light!
This is the weapon that Roosevelt's kingdom wanted to send to the battlefield. It is more flexible than an airship, but has an aerial strike capability comparable to an airship!
...
...
The main artillery of the air fortress is so powerful that people have gradually forgotten that its original purpose was not air strikes, but... transportation.
In its earliest days, the air fortress served as an aerial supply station for fighter jets and airships. As technology continued to evolve, it gradually acquired powerful heavy firepower.
Now, the Western Continent has restored the royal air fortress to its original function, transporting the most powerful nuclear-powered war robots here.
It seems that once they arrive safely, the scales of victory will tip completely.
Qing Chen once judged that a nuclear-powered war robot was equivalent to the combat ability of an A-level superhuman. Now that 12,000 war robots had appeared here, they were definitely not something that Wang Xiaojiu and his group could stop, not even Bai Mugui.
Moreover, Hyakume-ki is already surrounded by the remaining three hundred-plus airships and tens of thousands of drones.
Wang Xiaojiu, carrying the guillotine-like longsword, roared, "So that's why all the war robots from the Western Continent disappeared! They're all here! Run! Run!"
She had lost her previous domineering attitude and instantly backed down.
"Huh, they just ran away like that?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
Wang Xiaojiu said, "You guys haven't fought this thing before, but I have. If all of these are top-of-the-line nuclear-powered, all of us combined wouldn't be enough for one of its pulse bombardments. Run!"
