Chapter 68 Defeat is decided
Today is a sunny day, with bright sunshine, birds singing and flowers blooming. The deer wandering in the forest seek shade. The creatures of nature can enjoy the leisurely time to the fullest, without paying attention to the past or being confused about the future. However, it is a pity that this beauty cannot be told or shared.
The surrounding air began to feel heavy. Although the dark figure hadn't gotten very close, Qingxuan felt exhausted all over, as if his strength was constantly being drained away.
The Tsuchikage is seizing the Tsuchi-no-Kage's energy, just as they once did to him. If it weren't for Rakuichi's other ideas, the Tsuchikage would have devoured and chewed up the Tsuchi-no-Kage and Tsuchi-no-Kage on the spot.
"If you don't believe me, then ask your friend Sean. Don't you value your friendship with Sean a lot? Surely Sean will tell you the truth!"
Luo Yi was in no hurry to attack, nor did he intend to leave. He had already determined that Haruki and Zeta were currently in conflict with the Ao Xiao and would not disturb the situation here for the time being. Moreover, even if Zeta did arrive in time, Luo Yi had the enhanced Tsuchikage as his henchman. He wondered if the Earth Manipulator would collapse even more severely upon learning the truth in front of the Hero.
"Something's not right here, Qingxuan, we have to get out of here right away! Are you alright, Qingxuan? We really have to leave!"
"Why don't you just tell me what happened back then, Sean? Maybe resolving Qingxuan's inner conflict will help him! Or do you, like me, think that Qingxuan's will is weak and that he doesn't deserve to be a Earth Master without his father's intervention?"
"Shut up! You bastard! All you do is spout nonsense and sow discord. If you've got the guts, fight me!"
Sean was furious beyond measure. He didn't want to pay any attention to this madman in front of him, and he wouldn't listen to anything he said.
The abnormality in Qingxuan's body must also be Luo Yi's doing. Taking advantage of Qingxuan's poor health, he kept verbally attacking him. He is a despicable villain!
"That's enough, Sean. Whether what Luo Yi said is true or false, he's coming for me. Let me handle this myself."
Qingxuan's low voice interrupted Sean and Luo Yi's conversation. Straightening up again, Qingxuan stepped forward and stood in front of Sean, supporting his body, which was being eroded by supernatural powers, to maintain his consciousness. He gripped the Earth Control Summoning Stone in his hand and stared at Luo Yi with anger.
"I'll investigate the truth myself. It's not your place to spout nonsense, you lawbreaker! Just wait until you're arrested and interrogated. Let's see if you can still laugh when you're locked up in jail!"
"Oh ho, you've got quite the nerve. What, have you figured it out? Do you want me to explain things clearly, or do you want your friend to explain it to you?"
"I'm here to take you back, that's why I don't want to say anything more to you!"
"Oh, I see. Then what happens next has nothing to do with Sean. Say goodbye to him."
Luo Yi raised his hand and released a hidden arrow that flew out instantly, hitting Sean in the chest right in Luo Yi's line of sight. By the time Qing Xuan's shocked and panicked eyes turned around, Sean had already fallen to the ground with a large blackened area on his chest.
"You bastard, I won't let you get away with this!" Qingxuan unleashed all his strength in an instant and charged toward Luo Yi, his fists clenched and his eyes wide with rage, revealing his true killing intent.
Qingxuan, who was rushing over from a distance, was grabbed by the Shadow Claw and placed in front of Luo Yi, allowing the furious Qingxuan to see Luo Yi's smug and arrogant face up close.
"A loud voice doesn't mean high combat power, you second-generation official! Didn't your father, who served high-ranking officials like a slave, teach you this simple truth?"
"Shut up! You shameless scoundrel! You'll never be worthy to reason with me!"
His body, which had been eroded and was in pain, was squeezed and pinched by the Shadow Claws for the second time. Qingxuan gritted his teeth and endured all the pain, which turned into a rage against Luo Yi. His body emitted rainbow light, which made the ground tremble.
"Your anger is nothing compared to that of a true monster!"
As Tsuchikage's summoning was activated, the Tsuchikage's body materialized and appeared in the shadows. After absorbing a large amount of ore in the Dark Rock Cave, the Tsuchikage's entire body turned dark black, and crystal-like protrusions on his body surface formed sharper killing weapons. Crimson veins spread throughout his body and converged at the location of his damaged heart. The Tsuchikage's eyes turned red and merged with Law to appear, unleashing a roar that shook the mountains and forests.
Tu Yu quickly assembled his heavy armor and landed, his entire body spewing flames as he charged towards Tu Ying. His giant fist swung with such force that it seemed capable of splitting mountains, striking Tu Ying squarely and creating a gust of wind that bent the treetops of the entire forest. Tu Yu spewed flames again, pressing Tu Ying down and crashing straight into the opposite hillside.
The Earth Shadow withstood the Earth God's attack with a single claw, its entire body's mineral-rock defense greatly enhanced. It deflected the Earth God's fist and then kicked it away, sending the Earth God crashing to the ground and leaving a trail dozens of meters long. The Earth Shadow raised its giant claw and slammed it down, creating a dent in the Earth God's body. Then it raised its leg and stomped on the Earth God several times.
"Don't you really like playing heroes? Why don't you say some of your hero lines to me? Maybe your acting will move me and make me a fan!"
Luo Yi continued his provocative words, then had the Tsuchikage stomp on Tsuchiyu even harder. They were all eager to see how long Tsuchiyu could remain defiant.
"Shut up!" Qingxuan gritted his teeth, controlled Tuyu, raised his hand to grab Tuying's foot, pushed him away and made Tuying take a step back, then released a rocket punch straight at Tuying's face.
The Tsuchikage turned his head to dodge the rocket punch attack. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tsuchikage charged forward with a flame-breathing attack, using his body as a weapon. The Tsuchikage fell backward from the impact. Tsuchikage summoned back the rocket punch, reassembled it in reverse, and fired several cannon shots at the Tsuchikage's position.
Qingxuan had lost his mind, and Luo Yi could see this very clearly. This kind of continuous attack would only keep consuming Tu Yu's energy, and it wouldn't do much damage to Tu Ying.
Even without actively attacking, Qingxuan would defeat him. Luo Yi wanted to play with Qingxuan a bit more to see how capable this hothouse plant was. However, Tu Ying had no intention of letting Tu Yu go. Its claws were already eager to tear Tu Yu's body apart.
The Tsuchikage used Earth Release to dodge the artillery fire. After several cannon shots, only craters remained. Earth Release emitted a detection wave towards the ground, sensing the Tsuchikage's location. Then, the cannons fired in succession, aiming at the Tsuchikage on the ground and firing several more shots.
The Tsuchikage, whose path was blocked, burst out of the ground. Tsuchikage seized the opportunity to charge up his cannon. The Tsuchikage's entire body emitted a crimson heat wave, and he fired a scorching beam of light at the attack, detonating Tsuchikage's cannonball. The cannonball struck Tsuchikage's body, scorching a large area.
The Earth Control Contract once again put pressure on his body, and Qingxuan was already covered in sweat. All the battles he was fighting now were just him putting on a brave face. His rapid breathing and restless heartbeat were warnings to him all the time, but Qingxuan did not want to give up the fight. He did not want to lose to this despicable guy who hurt everyone and killed Sean!
Raising his right wrist, he summoned a giant hammer. Tsuchikage gripped the hammer handle with both hands, then spewed flames and took off. He leaped into the air and slammed the giant hammer down on Tsuchikage's head. The Tsuchikage, who was on guard, easily dodged the blow. No tricks were needed to deal with a monster driven by rage.
Tsuchimori's all-out attack caused an earthquake on the ground, lifting dozens of meters of surface debris. Tsuchimori charged through the swirling dust and charged at Tsuchikage again, swinging his hammer haphazardly, seeking only violence to transform his inner anger into destruction of reality.
Tsuchikage raised his claws to withstand a hammer blow, slapped the giant hammer away, and then kicked away Tsuchiyu. The giant hammer slipped from Tsuchikage's grasp and was instantly refined into a more exquisite and lethal spiked hammer.
After retreating several steps, Tu Yu steadied his body, but he couldn't calm his mind. Watching his weapon being taken away by Tu Ying and then strengthened again, Qing Xuan felt incredibly incredulous. He was about to exclaim in amazement, but a thought that flashed through his mind left him feeling at a loss.
"You saw it with your own eyes, right? This is the best evidence! The core that the Tsuchikage was stripped of was modified and attached to Tsuchikage, giving you power that you shouldn't have. Now this power has returned to its original master, revealing its true form."
Tsuchikage picked up the spiked hammer and followed Luo Yi's instructions to refrain from taking action for the time being. Luo Yi controlled Tsuchikage as they walked and talked, while Qingxuan, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, had little strength left.
Qingxuan was extremely wary of Tuying's actions, fearing that Tuying would push him into a corner like last time. At the same time, Qingxuan also hated Luo Yi intensely, wishing he could turn into a beast and tear Luo Yi to pieces.
"Judging by the time, it's about time. Before this performance ends, there's something else I want to tell you..."
I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense!
Not wanting to listen to another word from Luo Yi, Luo Yi, unable to bear it any longer, launched the cannon at the Tsuchikage again. As expected, the Tsuchikage dodged it, and the cannonball flew towards the dark rock cave entrance behind him.
"Don't get so angry. I just wanted to say that the tranquilizer arrow is about to take effect, that's all."
"Wait...what? A tranquilizer arrow!"
Sean, who had been paralyzed by the hidden arrow, struggled to get up. With his willpower and despite the pain, he pulled the arrow out of his body. His mind was confused and he struggled to recover. When Sean's vision returned slightly, what he saw when he looked up was a huge cannon heading straight for him.
