Chapter 442: Interception

POSTED ON AUGUST 7, 2023 BY KEN

Not to mention the destruction of his main enchanted weapon, Si Nan was also affected by Zhu Ganglie’s shock wave.

When Zhu Ganglie charged, it specially used the phantom to “especially take care” of Si Nan.

This time, Si Nan couldn’t dodge in time, and he was knocked away for 30 meters by that phantom. He spurted a line of blood in the air!

But Si Nan was also cunning. After landing, he rolled and disappeared, leaving a paper figurine that was slowly falling.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie showing off its might and the enemy had already been defeated, the beastkins also rushed out from the Gao Family Inn and chased the fleeing enemy.

The situation was truly chaotic.

***

2 minutes later, Si Nan, the taoist from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, clutched his chest and staggered along in the woods. Blood dripped from his mouth from time to time.

His body trembled from time to time as if he was naked in the snow.

“Beastkin aura invades my body, beastkin aura invades my body!”

Si Nan said tremblingly to himself,

“This monster has actually cultivated to such a level. Could it be that it is a heavenly demon from the constellation?”

As he spoke, he took out a transparent crystal bottle from his arms. There were 3 fiery pills in it.

Si Nan took out one, hesitated for a moment, and murmured,

“Aggressive pills like the Crimson Dragon Pill should be avoided if not necessary.”

So he put it back in his arms.

At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed over and shouted,

“It’s Sir Si Nan from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau!! I was entrusted to send you the medicine!”

Si Nan took a look. When he realized that these people were wandering artists, he felt a little contemptuous. However, after hearing the word “medicine”, his heart was moved.

He was indeed short of medicines now, so he stopped and said proudly,

“Submit it quickly.”

The leader nodded and handed up a gourd.

Si Nan was also a man of long experience. He first ignited an identification talisman, then he tried it with the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s unique poison identification needle. After confirming that it was a high grade medicine, he swallowed it all at once.

Shortly after taking it, he immediately felt mentally and physically tired.

He knew that this was a characteristic of some healing medicines, that was, the person who took them needed to lie down and enter the sleeping state in order to fully exert the effects of the medicines.

For Si Nan, all it took was to meditate for 15 minutes.

Si Nan looked back and found that the battlefield was far away. After the great beastkin Zhu Ganglie, whom he feared the most, chased him for a while, it also went back to its Gao Family Inn to heal its wounds.

So he said to the people next to him,

“I’m going to meditate for a while. Don’t disturb me.”

After that, Si Nan saw a clean and tidy big green stone beside, which was just suitable for meditation, so he sat cross-legged on it.

In order to avoid any unexpected danger, he also lit 3 disaster-proof incense sticks beside him, which could not only serve as a warning state, but it also resisted the curse of evil spirits.

As a result, after Si Nan sat down cross-legged, the people around immediately exchanged glances… a secret operation began.

5 minutes later, there was a loud explosion not far beside Si Nan. At the core of the explosion, a black hole instantly appeared for a short time!

Although this thing was only the size of a washbasin, and it appeared for less than a second, the terrifying suction it produced even changed the terrain within a few hundred meters.

All the branches of the trees in the range pointed to that point strangely. Even the appearance of the ground surface faintly formed a vortex with this point as the core.

That was an expensive consumable item: antimatter bomb!

Because this thing was extremely unstable, it must be used within 60 seconds of being modulated.

The modulation time was as long as 2 minutes, and the process couldn’t be interrupted. Otherwise, once the time was exceeded, it would explode directly. Therefore, it was usually modulated on the spot and used immediately.

Under such harsh conditions, the group of contractors did not hesitate to use expensive healing medicine to set up this trap.

They let Si Nan enter a meditation state, then they let someone prepare an antimatter bomb more than a hundred meters away and directly launched it over with a grenade launcher.

But under such an attack, Si Nan still managed to crawl out of the explosion!

However, he was covered in blood, his hair was burnt and mottled, and the internal injuries that had recovered with difficulty became more severe.

The blood he vomited out this time was even mixed with a large number of blood clots and dark red internal organ fragments.

But the most serious injuries were that one eye exploded, and even his left hand was broken at the elbow!

That wasn’t all. Si Nan was still coughing up blood at this moment. He sneered while speaking to the surrounding people,

“Very good, you all are very good!!”

“Assassinating the court official, collaborating with evil beastkins, how outrageous!! You and your family will be exterminated!”

But at this time, Evil Zen had already appeared. He sneered and said,

“The dead can’t report.”

The elf archer Daisy also appeared directly on the treetop next to him. She sneered and waved her hand,

“Why bother talking to him? Kill him!”

Si Nan’s enchanted weapon was destroyed, and he was hit by Zhu Ganglie’s charge, which broke at least 5 ribs.

Just now, he was ambushed by Evil Zen and the others. Things took a turn for the worse for him. He could only exert 30% of his abilities. Therefore, he fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Si Nan realized something was wrong after suffering a few attacks, so he waved his hand abruptly.

Immediately, 18 pieces of yellow paper were flying all over the sky. They turned into pigeons and flew away in all directions. They were apparently going back to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to report the news.

However, after these pigeons flew more than 10 meters, they all seemed to hit an invisible barrier and burned.

It turned out that while Si Nan was recovering, Evil Zen and the others set up an anti-spell enchantment.

This was to stop Si Nan from asking for help, which exposed their identities.

They could just fool around for the rest of the matter. They would not stay in this world for a long time. It would be fine as long as they could get away with it temporarily without affecting their mission in this world.

Witnessing this scene, Si Nan finally showed despair in his eyes, but he could only continue to fight hard with these people.

Evil Zen focused all his energy on Si Nan at this time. He just roamed around the periphery actively, made a blow, and retreated.

The so-called attack was just stretching out his finger and poking lightly on Si Nan’s body. It didn’t hurt at all.

But those who were familiar with it know that this seemingly paddling behavior was actually just brewing a hearty explosion.

At this time, Evil Zen had accumulated 8 acupoint blasts on Si Nan.

As long as the accumulation reached 10 times, it would reach the limit of acupoint blast.

When the time comes, the last tap would stimulate the qi that was injected into the enemy’s body 9 times before and burst out at one time, causing terrifying real damage.

But at this moment, a golden talisman on Si Nan’s waist suddenly burned. The enemies around him were instantly pushed away by an invisible force.

A phantom of a taoist also appeared behind him, absorbing all the attacks on Si Nan.

Si Nan’s face was miserably pale. He let out a long sigh,

“I never thought that I, Si Nan, would be humiliated by you scums to this extent!”

After finishing speaking, he took out the transparent crystal bottle, raised his head, and swallowed the 3 fiery red Crimson Dragon Pills inside.

These pills were aggressive medicines. Taking just 1 will reduce one’s lifespan by 3 years, but it it could squeeze out the maximum potential in one’s body.

After eating 3, Si Nan would die in an hour, but he could also unleash terrifying power.

However, after seeing this scene, a gloomy light flashed in Evil Zen’s eyes. There was already a faint black light shining on his index finger.

This was the characteristic of the finishing move that was about to be performed.

At this time, the finishing move with the 8 times accumulation could also burst out amazing damage. It integrated stun, true hit, and multiple damages in one!!

More importantly, it also had a very high priority, so it could definitely penetrate the phantom cast by the golden talisman and interrupt Si Nan’s process of gaining power.

He had been waiting for this astonishing move!!

“Go to hell!”

Evil Zen showed with a cruel sneer on his face as he jumped up and pointed at Si Nan’s weakness that appeared in his vision.

Just the moment he took a step, he felt a black object flying toward Si Nan diagonally.

At this time, he thought it was a grenade thrown by allies.

But when this thing exploded and blinded everyone’s vision,

Evil Zen’s heart sank immediately. He smelled an indescribable conspiracy. The problem was that he was very familiar with the smell of this conspiracy!!

Because this flash grenade was quite effective for him who has an extremely high abnormal status effect.

This could only show that this flash grenade was actually with priority.

Not long ago, to be precise, more than an hour ago, Evil Zen experienced a similar flash grenade effect himself!!

A hateful name flashed through Evil Zen’s mind instantly.

“Wrench….”

However, at this time, Evil Zen could no longer back down. Following the point in his memory, he poked forward.

A light “pa“. Evil Zen had indeed poked something.

But the following combat prompt made him feel so aggrieved that he wanted to slash around with a saber!

“Your acupoint blast (finishing move) successfully hit the summon of Contestant ZB419, [Mechanical Gyrfalcon].”

“Because you haven’t accumulated acupoint blast counter on this enemy before, you can only cause 84 theoretical damage this time.”
