People in this world live and interact for profit every day, but Zard is selfless, driven only by interest, with a pure and sincere heart.
If such a person were to die, it would be a loss to the world.
"I can already hear the sound of troops marching in the distance, at most three kilometers away," Qingchen said. "This Demon-Slaying Vajra is just stalling for time. Chen Yu is reluctant to use the second painting; he wants to hold out until the army group arrives! Oh no, this place is already within range of individual mortars!"
Time was running out, and Qing Chen struggled to his feet. Qin Yiyi looked at him and said, "Shall I carry you? Let's retreat."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "No need."
Qin Yiyi looked at Qing Chen seriously. The boy's appearance hadn't changed at all; he was still the stubborn little servant he used to be.
very nice.
Qing Chen looked at the battlefield. Facing two A-level opponents, the Demon-Slaying Vajra swung its arm with tremendous force like a pendulum, smashing Chen Jiazhang away!
The Grand Elder was furious: "How come you're so weak now? What am I supposed to do if you get knocked away?! Huh? Can you knights be any more of a liar? We agreed to fight side by side and slay the god together, but you're so weak? Where did all that energy you had when you beat me go?!"
Chen Jiazhang lay on the ground coughing up blood: "Fighting is nothing compared to drinking."
"Damn it!" The elder was in a bloodthirsty rage.
Without Chen Jiazhang's support, the Grand Elder gradually became exhausted. Each of the A-ranks was defeated when facing the paintings of the demigods alone.
By this point in the battle, everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Chen Yu tore up just one painting, yet simultaneously drove Qing Chen, Zard, and the Grand Elder to their deaths. This must be the power of a demigod.
If Shadow hadn't exposed Chen Yu's trump card and destroyed his painting, Chen's demigod would be even more terrifying now, having already reached the pinnacle of demigod status!
No wonder Chen Yu became ambitious and began plotting to seize the Central Plains; he had the confidence to do so.
At this moment, the Vajra Demon Subduing had the upper hand and was suppressing the Grand Elder in every way. Its three heads and six arms poured down like a torrential downpour.
But then the Grand Elder swung his sword down, and the Demon-Subduing Vajra suddenly clasped his four palms together, pressing the black sword into his palms!
The next second, the two extra legs and two extra arms of the Demon-Subduing Vajra attacked together. With three heads, six arms, and four legs, it was as if it had been given a cheat code, and one person could do the work of three people!
In an instant!
The elder, gripping his sword with both hands, was caught off guard and kicked away by the Demon-Subduing Vajra, while the black sword remained in the opponent's four hands!
Zard: "Oh no, Barbie Q is gone."
Qing Chen: "Holy crap..."
The Vajra was troublesome enough when it wielded the Vajra Pestle, but now that the Black Blade is in the enemy's hands, it can cut down anyone it sees.
Who wouldn't be confused by this?
"Save them!" Qing Chen roared, "Zard, protect the Grand Elder and my master!"
Zard had seeped into the ground like quicksand, and the Demon-Slaying Vajra swung its black blade at the Grand Elder.
But this time it wasn't as fast, and the hard ground beneath the Demon-Subduing Vajra's feet instantly turned into soft sand, and its enormous body continued to sink.
However, the Demon-Subduing Vajra was too fast, running on the gravel as if it were flat ground.
At this moment, Qin Yiyi arrived and dragged the elder's right leg, which was unable to move, away.
The elder felt a chill on his scalp as the black blade struck the ground a centimeter above his head.
The stab made him shudder. If Qin Yiyi had been even a second slower, or even 0.1 seconds slower, he would have died here today!
The Vajra was still chasing after them. He waded through the soft sand and slashed at the Grand Elder and Qin Yiyi.
"You run, don't worry about me!" the elder cried out anxiously. "You're only a B-rank, you can't outrun him by dragging me along!"
"No! We'll die together!" Qin Yiyi insisted.
Looking at Xiao Yi's stubborn expression, the elder suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, realizing that his doting on this little darling hadn't been in vain; it had finally paid off...
Qingchen suddenly shouted, "Da Yu! My friend Da Yu, where are you?!"
From the treetop, Da Yu said irritably, "When you're fighting a demigod, can you please not think of me?!"
“That won’t do,” Qing Chen said with a smile as he fired his gun. “We’re friends! Let’s hurry up and help the Grand Elder. If we don’t kill this Demon-Subduing Vajra, and it starts hunting down and killing everyone one by one, then we’ll all die.”
Da Yu sat on the treetop and said slowly, "You're the ones who will die, I won't."
Qingchen shouted, "If Zard dies, Xiaoyu will probably cry for seven days and seven nights!"
Da Yu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly pulled a backpack out of his hand. It was filled with little jumping frogs, which hopped and skipped towards the Demon-Slaying Vajra to fight.
“Not enough,” Qing Chen said. “Let’s tear off the mask of civility and, on behalf of the Chen family patriarch, wage war against the Chen family’s demigods! What about your paintings? Don’t keep them!”
Da Yu rolled his eyes: "What do you know? Once I use the painting, he will definitely guess my identity. There are only so many painters in the Chen family, and I am the only one whose whereabouts are not under his control. This matter is far-reaching, so stop stirring things up for me."
As he spoke, Da Yu pulled out a backpack from his palm. It was a swift-shaped backpack that Xiao Yu had folded for him, and it was one of his most treasured secret weapons.
The next moment, the swifts tore through the backpack and flew out. They did not attack the Demon-Slaying Vajra, but went straight for the airship in the sky!
Hundreds of swifts aimed at the airship's power turbine and flew into the turbine engine like bullets.
"Formless!"
The paper swifts suddenly changed from white to a bluish-iron color, as if they had transformed from paper into iron. They were bathed in fire but did not burn, crashing into the turbine like steel.
The clanging of metal against metal echoed through the sky as black smoke billowed from the main turbine of the Class A airship.
It turns out that the meaning of "formless" is to change the shape of origami, which can make a little frog grow fangs and a swift turn into a body of steel!
This formlessness should be the second-order state of the forbidden object.
Qing Chen shouted, "Class A airships all have two backup power turbines. Destroying one won't help! Besides, even if you destroy them all, they have anti-gravity devices so they won't fall down."
Da Yu said irritably, "Do you need to tell me? Let's disable its power first, otherwise how will it run later?"
As he spoke, he pulled out three or four more backpacks from his palm.
Thousands of swifts soared into the sky, circling in a double-track pattern, like DNA strands rushing towards the airship.
The Second Fleet unleashed tens of thousands of drones, swarming across the land like a locust plague.
But the steel swift was not afraid at all, and actually tore a gap in the dense curtain of drones, crashing into the turbine engine on the Class A airship.
The airship's turbines are designed to protect against bird strikes, but this protection is only effective against ordinary birds; it cannot stop swifts that are empowered by the 'Formless'!
Da Yu really went all out this time!
A rumbling sound came, and black smoke billowed from the turbines of the Class A airship, which was forced to rise again!
Qing Chen asked curiously, "Where did you get so many swifts? Didn't we use them all up outside Forbidden Land No. 002 last time?"
“Xiaoyu asked the villagers in the wilderness settlement to fold them for me,” Dayu said irritably. “The villagers there are very kind. Zard helped them build houses, and they just sat next to Xiaoyu and helped her fold swifts.”
Qing Chen shouted, "Release some more! Smother the other airships too; they don't have anti-gravity devices. Also, kill that Demon-Subduing Vajra!"
Da Yu said irritably, "The limit of this forbidden item is controlling 1,800 origami animals a day. Do you think I'm a god? I've already reached my limit!"
But at that moment, Da Yu pulled a scroll from his palm and twisted it to pieces.
The next second, Qingchen was stunned. He saw his master, Li Shutong, wearing a white training uniform, land on the ground and walk calmly toward the Demon-Subduing Vajra.
What the heck? Why did Master suddenly appear?
No, this is Da Yu's painting!
Chen Yu painted a sky full of gods and Buddhas, while Da Yu actually painted Li Shutong!
Da Yu lowered his voice and shouted, "What are you waiting for! Snipe him!"
The Vajra Demon Subduer was taken aback when he saw Li Shutong appear!
They immediately stopped chasing the Grand Elder and Qin Yiyi and slowly retreated!
Qingchen knelt on the ground, intently aiming at the demon-slaying Vajra in the distance.
He adjusted his aim with the rise and fall of his breath, and suppressed the pain in his body with absolute willpower.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Chen had already pulled the trigger.
A megaampere-level current surged through the barrel, eventually transforming into boiling, surging electromagnetic energy that propelled the tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile out of the muzzle!
The speed of the electromagnetic cannon is invisible to the naked eye, and even demigods cannot match it. If Qing Chen doesn't aim, it's fine, but once he does, even this demigod painting will be instantly killed!
The last head of the demon-subduing Vajra was pierced.
All three heads were dead, and the entire body of the Demon-Subduing Vajra turned into a phantom and vanished!
Upon seeing this scene, the Grand Elder's first reaction was: "Knife, Yi Yi, my knife... your knife!"
Zard's first reaction was to look at the vanished Vajra pestle on his chest and the empty hole that remained. He wailed, "My Vajra pestle!"
Da Yu roared, "Aren't we leaving now? The army group is almost here! If we don't leave now, we're all going to die! If Chen Yu releases another painting, we'll all be wiped out here!"
As he spoke, Da Yu jumped down from the treetop and ran off into the distance. Whether the others ran or not was none of his concern.
Qingchen ran to carry Chen Jiazhang on his back, Qin Yiyi picked up the black knife and carried the Grand Elder on her back, and everyone fled for their lives.
The elder, grumbling from Qin Yiyi's back, said, "Chen Jiazhang, can you knights stay away from the fire pit from now on? I've never had a good time with you guys, you're such a damn jinx!"
Chen Jiazhang also cursed and said, "Do you think I wanted this? Why do you think the Chen Clan Army is here? They brought over 1,300 refugees to analyze the rules, planning to cross Forbidden Zone 008 to attack the Fire Pit. Do you think your Fire Pit's small force can withstand Chen Yu's methods? If Qing Chen hadn't insisted on saving you, we would have run away long ago! Do you think we're so arrogant that we dare to challenge a demigod? We're not even worth a finger of his!"
The Grand Elder was silent for a moment: "Is that so?"
Chen Jiazhang continued cursing, "The Chen family plans to deal with you first when the Qing family gets involved in the north. Without us, who will help you with your fire pit? You'd better go back and burn some incense for your damn gods!"
This time, the Grand Elder did not object...
He also knew that, in principle, the Knights were relatively reliable...
...
...
On a Class A airship.
Chen Yu stood calmly in the command room. In front of him was a long table with a six-foot canvas spread out, on which was a half-painted image of Dhritarashtra.
Chaos had broken out inside the airship as all the soldiers struggled to deal with the threat posed by the swifts.
An officer stood by the table: "Boss, prepare to transfer to the Class B airship. This airship has no forward propulsion and can only float in place."
Chen Yu didn't speak; he simply focused on sketching out the red hair for the fire god Zhurong.
Right there in the painting tube beside this table, there are only two finished scrolls left.
After styling his hair, Chen Yu said casually, "What's the rush? There are only six people in total, four of whom are seriously injured. Where can they run to? They're just lambs to the slaughter. Have the ground troops keep up, and send out all the new mechanical hounds. After the battle in the Forbidden Land, the Fire Pit won't be a problem."
