754: Chapter 167: Scattered Gifts (Part 2) 754: Chapter 167: Scattered Gifts (Part 2) High in the sky, the helicopter’s rotors roared as it flew into a mountainous area.
“Lord Luo Bo, we’re approaching the attacked sub-station base.
The helicopter is preparing to land, please sit tight.”
In the front cabin, a man in a white uniform turned back to say.
“No need, open the hatch here.”
Seeing the one known as the Wolf King, Luo Bo gestured to open the side hatch directly in mid-air, “I smell the scent of prey.”
The two pilots exchanged a glance, knowing the fighters from Paradise Island were powerful, almost superhuman beings.
They did not hesitate and opened the hatch.
Luo Bo stepped out into the void, his body straight, descending swiftly from the high altitude.
At the moment of landing, he merely bent his legs slightly, fully absorbing the terrifying acceleration, leaving the pilots in awe.
Luo Bo twisted his neck, bones cracking, and quickly headed in a certain direction in the forest—ahead, he could distinctly feel a powerful presence.
“Oh?
Destroying the sub-station without leaving, waiting on purpose…,” Luo Bo smiled slightly.
The attraction between the strong allowed Luo Bo to lock onto his opponent’s location precisely without any sophisticated instruments.
Luo Bo entered the forest, and the pilots soon lost track of this fighter’s trace.
They continued navigating the helicopter forward—only the sub-station had a helipad for a safe landing.
However, as the helicopter crossed the mountain crest, reaching the sky above the sub-station, the pilots were simultaneously shocked—the sub-station, akin to a school built in the forest…now only ruins remained.
When they finally landed, hastily exiting the helicopter to inspect the surroundings, they continuously discovered cold corpses…like hell, causing cold sweat to run down their backs.
“What kind of massacre happened here?”
Just as they were silently worrying, a sudden loud noise erupted from the mountains, like a landslide, a natural disaster!
…
This place was seemingly called Xianzong Forest by those who built a base in the mountains.
Of course, there was no so-called immortal trace here, though the scenery was as captivating as a fairyland.
Xianzong Forest had a small waterfall, with water cascading down, hitting the rocks, and spreading into a mist that resembled changing clouds.
Beside the flowing stream, a girl in a black dress was washing her long hair.
Pale as snow, almost sickly, it was Su Zijun, who had crossed more than half of the world’s terrain to reach this place.
Except near the Mediterranean, the winter in the Northern Hemisphere was roughly synchronized.
In Xianzong Forest, wide leaves of the trees began to fall, covering the ground.
Someone stepped on the withered branches and leaves, slowly approaching, and stopped beside the stream.
Su Zijun grabbed her hair, bundling it tightly, wiping the water away, then casually pinned it behind her while observing the young man standing behind her—an Eastern face.
She smelled a very familiar scent—the scent of the demonic power from the Divine Land Monster Race.
But within this demonic power, there was something else.
Demonic power, unlike the spiritual power cultivated by monks, was inherently slightly manic.
And this individual’s demonic power contained elements that made it exceptionally violent, like a raging volcano.
“Are you from the Michael Club too?” Su Zijun frowned, unsure if this strange demon from the Divine Land was connected to the Michael Club.
Due to the decline of the Divine Land Monster Race, some monsters opted to leave and seek new paths.
So encountering the Divine Land Monster Race outside of China wasn’t particularly surprising.
“Are you the fallen princess of the Xuanyuan Royal Family?” The young man spoke slowly.
Su Zijun sneered, stood up, having asked, and since the other party posed a similar question, the identities were confirmed.
Su Zijun said indifferently, “I’ve been waiting here for almost a day, and Michael Club only sent you over.
This handling speed is truly disappointing.
Even more so…
they sent only you.”
The exotic young man…
Luo Bo suddenly whistled, smirking evilly, “Quality over quantity, sending more small fry would just be feed for you…
my presence is naturally enough.”
Su Zijun sneered again, “Did you all misunderstand something?
A few months ago, some gun-wielding guy caught me off guard and snuck an attack, I suffered a minor loss…
Did you really think you could easily handle me?”
“The gun-wielding guy?” Luo Bo was startled, then responded calmly, “You mean Kuck, right?
However, he might not have gone all out…
The Divine Land, resting in a corner, might not know how big the world truly is!”
“Hmph!
Fool, forsaking your roots!” An aura of dark red demonic power erupted from Su Zijun.
Wolf King Luo Bo’s expression remained cold, “Forsaking my roots?
They never gave me anything worthwhile and only took away from me…
In this world, the strong reign supreme, words are useless!
Let me see what capabilities the Xuanyuan Royal Princess possesses after falling!”
The flesh on Luo Bo’s hands suddenly exploded, inch by inch, white bony armor emerged from the flesh, fully covering his arms within moments.
The bony armor on his arms was ghastly, with a terrifyingly sharp bone blade growing at the elbows, seemingly born for killing.
Su Zijun sensed a vast amount of souls and the scent of blood from this guy.
She wondered how many people he had killed to accumulate such terrifying murderous intent.
But even if this murderous aura were twice as powerful, it couldn’t shake her state of mind.
At this moment, Su Zijun directly punched forward, dark red demonic power erupting, and waves of terrifying energy crazily pressed towards Wolf King Rob.
Seeing this, Wolf King Rob’s expression suddenly became more serious.
This endless dark red demonic power seemed more pressing than ever, facing this overwhelming force, he even felt like facing a flood.
“Just perfect for honing my fighting spirit!”
Wolf King Rob laughed wildly, and also punched forward.
Under the pressure of Su Zijun’s dark red demonic power, he forcefully opened a space of his own!
The fist wrapped in bone armor fiercely collided with Su Zijun’s fair little fist!
Pure collision of force and power!
The huge sound in the mountain stream came from this!
The terrifying sound waves echoed in the mountains, seeming to shake the cliffs!
At the moment of their clash, the two immense forces spread out, transforming into a dreadful shock wave, making the surrounding trees painfully sway!
The result of this punch exchange was…
not backing down a single step!
At this moment, the bone armor on Wolf King Rob’s fist unexpectedly shattered!
It couldn’t truly resist Su Zijun’s punch!
Looking at him now, he calmly retreated, shook his arm, and the shattered bone armor fell away.
“Oh?
Is this what you mean by me not knowing how vast the world is?” Su Zijun’s eyes narrowed.
Rob glanced at the fallen bone armor fragments on the ground, but lightly clenched his fist, and the bone armor on his hand regenerated from flesh, identical to before it shattered!
“A little trick.” Su Zijun snorted coldly and launched another punch.
Wolf King Rob didn’t dodge or evade this time, once again charging forward, with the bone armored fist colliding once more with Su Zijun’s tender yet not weak fist!
Boom—!
This time, Wolf King Rob was directly knocked back, and the bone armor on his arm shattered once again!
However, Su Zijun frowned at this moment, her punch was at least thirty percent stronger than the first, but it clearly didn’t achieve the desired effect.
The Hanba, known for its formidable physical strength…
but this guy’s bodily might seems extraordinary.
Seeing this guy grow bone armor yet again, Su Zijun didn’t plan to give him space to breathe this time.
Yet at the moment she moved, she felt a cold, different kind of power like a venomous snake, starting to crawl up her arm…
this power didn’t seem like demonic power!
Su Zijun’s face slightly changed.
Rob now sneered, “Interesting?
This is no demonic power, but true strength cultivated through ancient martial arts.”
“A demon body, cultivated human true strength?” Su Zijun was startled and frowned, “Aside from demonic power, is the other force in your body true strength?”
Demons, after all, differ from humans.
How this guy cultivated true strength was something Su Zijun couldn’t prehend for a while.
Wolf King Rob chuckled without speaking.
Su Zijun snorted coldly, and her demonic power erupted within, instantly expelling this invading different energy outside, “As a demon, not honing your own demonic power but cultivating human true strength, truly putting the cart before the horse!”
“No matter what it is, as long as it makes me stronger, I don’t care!” Wolf King Rob sneered now, “Princess Xuanyuan, never underestimate any kind of power.
Because regardless of what it is, once it’s pushed to the extreme, it can unleash unimaginable potential!”
With that said, Wolf King Rob’s flesh all over his body immediately began to explode, and it wasn’t just his arms—his entire body was covered in a ghastly white bone armor!
When the bone armor pletely covered, Rob’s body transformed like a cannonball, charging for the first time.
Su Zijun instinctively blocked, but suddenly felt the much stronger force from Rob’s fist, mixing demonic power and different true strength to create a peculiar force, drilling into her body, making her actually feel a hint of pain!
But it’s far from over!
The bone armor on Rob’s chest suddenly shot out a sharp bone spike!
The speed of this spike’s release was really too fast, it penetrated Su Zijun’s shoulder in an instant!
“The marrow in my body, incorporates a special alloy, when it condenses outside, its hardness can surpass the hardest diamond!” Rob sneered, continuing the frenzied attack!
This bone armor constantly shoots those terrifying sharp bone spikes, making it hard to guard against!
Su Zijun was caught off guard for a moment, with her arm once again pierced by this bone spike, having to admit this guy could elevate to the level of huge powerful monsters with this skill.
Even though the demonic power of the opponent wasn’t exposed, the peculiar power born from integrating true strength was extremely troublesome.
Su Zijun took a breath, changing from her initial shock to calm, looked at Rob, and said solemnly: “I was careless…
Yet if this is all, you are not much more impressive than the one who wielded the spear.”
While she said this, the wounds on Su Zijun’s pierced shoulder and arm healed rapidly, faster than Rob’s bone armor regeneration.
“It seems our battle is an attrition war.” Rob laughed wildly, confident that in a simple contest of stamina, he wouldn’t lose to anyone!
“Is that so…” Su Zijun’s pupils instantly transformed into fractured gold color.
The dark red demonic power erupted once more—only this time, it was magnitudes larger!
The two terrifying streams of demonic power tangled and swirled around her, suddenly shooting up to the sky.
“First Layer of the Seal, release…”
The ground where she stood suddenly sank, and as she took a step forward, Su Zijun’s body instantly matured, growing from the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old to that of seventeen or eighteen.
“I told you, the one using the spear took advantage of my poor condition and attacked by surprise, which only made me suffer a little…
If you think this makes me easy to deal with…”
The voice sounded directly by Rob’s ear, making his breath catch suddenly!
“Then bear the consequences!”
The voice fell.
Su Zijun’s figure suddenly disappeared, and Rob couldn’t lock onto her movement speed!
At the same time, he only felt a tremendous force strike his back!
Bam, bam, bam!
Rob’s body was like a sandbag, enduring terrifying, multiple, heavy blows from different directions!
From the ground to the sky, he swayed like drifting willow leaves in a fierce wind!
Bang—!
Suddenly, as Rob’s body was thrown into the air, yet another massive force struck from above!
Rob’s body crashed directly into the ground!
A loud booming sound echoed through the mountains and forests as Rob’s body was pletely embedded in the earth.
The bone armor on his body shattered pletely, and he spat out a mouthful of pus and blood.
At this moment, Su Zijun hovered in the air, looking down…
having drunk the Cain’s blood obtained from that treacherous merchant, she was in great condition, old wounds gone, and since she wasn’t within China, she could naturally unleash her power without restraint!
Rob coughed up blood again, but he gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground.
His clothes had long been shattered in the barrage of attacks, and now he directly tore them off, revealing a terrifying scar on his chest…
which was over the heart.
But Su Zijun frowned slightly.
Because not only the wound over Rob’s heart, but she also saw a huge tattoo emblazoned across his chest.
The tattoo was in the shape of a wolf’s head, but it was covered with numerous scars, seemingly deliberate…
but Su Zijun recognized the origin of this wolf head tattoo.
“Are you…
from the Greedy Wolf Clan?”
“I have nothing to do with them!” Rob shouted to the sky, “I’m my own person!
Princess Xuanyuan, take my strongest attack…
Judgement!!”
Rob suddenly reached out his hand, and a peculiar dark blue short blade burst out from within his body, spinning swiftly towards Su Zijun’s throat!
Su Zijun suddenly sensed a dangerous feeling, realizing that if this short blade touched her, it would directly decapitate her…
a beheading strike!
Acpanied by the short blade’s bizarre spinning trajectory, the space twisted in ripples, making it impossible to lock onto the blade’s path.
At that moment, Su Zijun was both shocked and angry, and she directly spat out a terrifying flame!
The drought demon appeared, scorching the earth for a thousand miles, burning everything!
The flames engulfed the short blade and Rob, burying everything in a sea of fire!
The fierce flames blocked all sight, and as Rob’s body was devoured by the blaze, a strange vortex suddenly appeared behind him, with an arm swiftly stretching out from it, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him directly into the vortex.
…
Whoosh—!
Below, within a range of hundreds of meters, it had all turned into scorched earth.
Su Zijun slowly descended, stepping on the burning soil.
Her body began to shrink somewhat, and soon she reverted to her original girl form.
She frowned slightly, wiping her neck with her palm, discovering a bit of blood—she didn’t know when a wound had appeared here.
Su Zijun thought again of that spear-wielding guy, with that strange spear, which was also very troublesome, and couldn’t help but wonder if the Michael Club’s fighters all had such peculiar weapons…
“That guy and that spear-wielder should be among the more advanced fighters in the club.
I wonder if there are even stronger ones above them…” Su Zijun pondered.
At this moment, a faint sphere of light slowly appeared overhead, and Su Zijun looked up to see a finely wrapped box slowly descending.
Su Zijun was shocked in her heart, sensing an elusive aura from the box.
The boss!
…
…
War had never ceased in this country, not even on Christmas Day.
Because this country had its own religious beliefs, extremists…
naturally did extreme things.
In a small village in this country, as dusk approached, many villagers gathered.
They happily brought out a large amount of food to celebrate—not for Christmas Eve, but for the joy of having just freed themselves from the hands of some terrifying people.
They had once thought they would be sent to the battlefield, and their children would be brainwashed and bee deadly killing machines.
However, a woman wearing very black leather suddenly appeared in front of them.
This woman, by herself, saved them from those devil-like fanatics.
They wanted to know this woman’s name to pray for her every day henceforth, hoping their god would bless her.
But she only told them she had no name…
but they could call her “Avenger.”
Avenger, a terrifying name.
But she had saved them from those devils.
So even if she was for revenge, they chose to call her…
“Avenging Angel?”
Jessica watched the villagers singing and dancing around the bonfire, and self-mockingly smiled.
How can a vengeful person bee an angel?
There wasn’t much of the big city’s luxury here, living conditions were tough, and daily they feared the arrival of warfare, yet at this moment, every face was brightly wearing a smile.
Jessica was slightly touched, lowering her head silently.
Suddenly, she pulled out a necklace from her collar, opened the pendant on the necklace, revealing a photo, “Ye Yan…”
“Sister, sister!”
A little girl ran up to her, holding a small box beautifully wrapped.
“What’s the matter?” Jessica frowned and asked.
“Sister!
This is for you!” The little girl said with a naive smile, “I just found it by the side!”
Jessica patted the child’s head, casually accepting the gift.
Of course, the people here didn’t celebrate Christmas, but she used to.
“Thank you,” Jessica thanked, then pointed to the crowd in the distance, “Go back over there, that’s where you belong.”
The little girl nodded as if she understood and didn’t, gave Jessica a kiss on the cheek, then left joyfully.
Jessica gave a wry smile, secretly thinking she would leave this place tomorrow.
Peace…
didn’t temporarily belong to her just yet.
Thinking so, she began to open the box given by the child, the only gift received this Christmas.
To Jessica’s surprise, inside was a small hard drive.
Jessica paused for a moment, wrinkling her brows, then walked to her tent outside the village.
Jessica dug out a laptop from her bag—these things, anyway, were found while destroying that demon cave.
Inserting the hard drive, Jessica opened the only folder within, finding only one video file.
Could it be a video of hostages being beheaded, or something?
Jessica thought instinctively while casually opening it.
As the video file opened, Jessica froze…
she didn’t see anything terrifying.
What she saw was an extremely old scene.
The filming equipment was probably bad, as the picture looked fuzzy, a pale yellow kind of color.
The video was set in a hall.
There were many young people, boys and girls, filled with sounds of excitement around them, celebrating something, brimming with youth.
At this moment, a handsome man slowly walked onto the stage of the hall, eliciting many cheers.
Carrying a saxophone, the man showed a charming smile to the audience below, then slowly blew into the saxophone on stage.
“Ye Yan in his youth, how could it be…” Jessica instinctively covered her lips.
She is no longer worried about how this hard drive came to be, staring mesmerized at that lone figure performing in old times.
As if, reliving yesterday.
