Chapter 474, the final installment! (Page 12)
In the underground blood burial cave,
Loki's remaining head was submerged in a pool of blood, the flames of his soul burning wildly in his eye sockets.
The blood-resent energy from the surrounding mountains of corpses and seas of blood was drawn in, surging wildly towards the head like rivers flowing into the sea, attempting to repair this completely destroyed vessel.
"Insects...how dare you!!!" The head emitted a silent shriek.
More blood and bits of flesh were stripped from the surrounding corpses.
Like eerie puppets summoned by magic, they converged on the head! The cracking of bones snapping together and the sticky squeak of flesh writhing were chilling.
In just a few breaths, a terrifying, three-meter-tall body, twisted and barely pieced together from countless corpse parts, stood up!
Loki's soul temporarily resided within it, and the broken head was embedded in Loki's chest, staring menacingly ahead.
Although it was ugly and extremely unstable, this hastily assembled body was enough to bear more of his power!
"Roar--!!!"
Loki let out a deafening roar.
It smashed through the rock layer above its head, bursting forth from the ground with overwhelming blood and resentment, transforming into a streak of bloody light, and rushed madly toward Leng Xuan's location dozens of kilometers away at an astonishing speed!
"You mere mortal!!! I will tear your soul from your body and torment you for eternity!!!" Loki's roar echoed across the wasteland.
Leng Xuan remained kneeling on the spot, expressionless.
He seemed to have anticipated Loki's resurrection and pursuit. He calmly tracked the rapidly approaching crimson figure through the scope, calculating the distance, speed, wind direction, and the opponent's extremely unstable energy fluctuations.
He was waiting. Like a master hunter, he waited for his prey to come within optimal range, waiting for it to reveal its most fatal weakness.
Getting closer... five kilometers... three kilometers... one kilometer...
Loki's enormous body rapidly magnified in his field of vision; its ferocious form and towering flames were enough to terrify anyone.
But Leng Xuan's heartbeat did not quicken at all, and his breathing was frighteningly steady.
It's now!
Loki was sprinting at full speed, his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated. His body was experiencing extremely subtle but unavoidable tremors due to the rapid speed and unstable energy!
boom--! ! !
The second specially made bullet was fired! The enormous recoil of the gun caused the ground around Leng Xuan to shake violently, but he remained completely still!
The bullet transformed into a streak of death, precisely seizing that one-millionth of a second of the gap in Loki's energy circulation, piercing directly through the space between the eyebrows of the head in his chest!
boom--! ! !
The massive Loki body that had just materialized suddenly stiffened, then exploded again, starting from its head! Countless pieces of flesh mixed with a stench of blood rained down from the sky!
The massive shockwave and the annihilation energy contained in the bullets successfully halted Loki's pursuit, buying Leng Xuan precious time to create distance.
Leng Xuan did not hesitate at all.
Shouldering the heavy sniper rifle, he retreated rapidly like a ghost, each step taking the optimal evasive route, quickly distancing himself from the exploding cloud of blood mist.
And behind him,
The blood mist gathered wildly once more. With the immense energy accumulated from the blood sacrifice of ten thousand people and his indestructible soul, Loki once again painstakingly reshaped his body, letting out an even more frenzied roar as he continued his pursuit!
The same script began to play out repeatedly.
Leng Xuan retreated calmly, calculated precisely, and turned around at the most opportune moment to pull the trigger!
boom--! ! !
The third bullet fired! It blasted Loki's newly formed body apart once again!
Create distance, maneuver, wait, calculate...
boom--! ! !
The fourth bullet!
Every shot was precise and deadly, every shot perfectly hindered Loki's pursuit, and every shot maintained the distance between the two sides within a range that was absolutely advantageous to Leng Xuan.
Loki was repeatedly defeated and rebuilt, his anger and frustration driving him almost insane.
He possessed a powerful divine soul and immense energy, yet he was completely restrained by a mortal's precise long-range strike, unable to get close at all!
Soon, only two bullets, gleaming with a dark red sheen, remained in the magazine of the giant box behind Leng Xuan.
At this moment, Loki seemed to have completely figured out Leng Xuan's attack rhythm and the limits of bullet power.
In the instant he was destroyed and reassembled, he forcibly burned some of his blood sacrifice energy, and at a speed that exceeded Leng Xuan's calculations, he instantly crossed the last few hundred meters!
The newly formed, blood-red body, barely maintaining its human form, appeared less than fifty meters in front of Leng Xuan, exuding a suffocating pressure and overwhelming killing intent!
"Insect! Your death is nigh!!!" Loki's face twisted, and with a wave of his hand, his bloody divine power transformed into a giant palm that slammed down on Leng Xuan like a blotting-out cloud!
At such close range, even heavy sniper rifles are no longer effective.
A cold glint flashed in Leng Xuan's eyes, but he showed no sign of panic.
Just as Loki's giant hand was about to strike, he made an unexpected move—he didn't try to dodge or defend himself.
Instead, it abruptly turned the gun around.
There was no need to aim; relying on instinct honed through countless brushes with death, he pulled the trigger!
boom--! ! !
The fifth bullet, the penultimate one, was fired with a bang at close range!
At such close range, the bullet's power was unleashed to its fullest extent! The dark golden light instantly tore through the blood-red giant hand, its momentum undiminished, and pierced directly into Loki's newly sculpted chest!
boom--! ! !
Loki's sinister grin froze on his face, and his entire body exploded once again without any doubt!
This time, the shockwave from the explosion was exceptionally violent, even the head embedded in the chest, which served as the core of power, was instantly torn apart and vaporized by the violent energy!
Blood mist filled the air, and shattered bones flew everywhere.
On the desolate plains, the smell of gunpowder and blood has not yet dissipated.
Leng Xuan knelt on the ground, the super-heavy sniper rifle still held in front of him, its muzzle scorching hot, wisps of dark red energy flickering like venomous snakes struggling in their death throes.
Slowly twisting and dissipating. His right shoulder blade...
The combat suit had already been torn apart by the enormous recoil, revealing a bloody mess of skin.
You can even see the stark white bone fragments!
My entire right arm was trembling unnaturally, and every tiny tremor brought excruciating pain.
This weapon, specially crafted to kill gods, roars each time as a mortal's body struggles against the backlash of a divinely created weapon.
Six consecutive shots, especially the last one fired at near point-blank range, created a terrifying recoil that nearly shattered his shoulder blade.
His internal organs were also severely impacted, his blood and qi churned, and a sweet and metallic liquid kept rising in his throat, which he forced down.
He was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and his face was as pale as paper.
But those eyes remained cold and sharp, fixed intently on the dissipating cloud of blood mist ahead.
With his left hand, he groped around laboriously, trying to load the last God-Slaying Bullet into the magazine.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the cold bullet—
The space in front of them suddenly began to twist and ripple violently, like the surface of water to which a stone has been thrown!
Countless dark green threads of law, imbued with an aura of deception and illusion, emerged out of thin air, frantically intertwining and entwining, eventually coalescing into a blurry figure that exuded a suffocating pressure!
That's Loki!
It was not a temporary body reconstructed using blood sacrifice energy, but rather a remnant of the divine soul's essence.
He forcibly invoked the Law of "Trickery," condensing a Law God Shadow that existed between reality and illusion! Although it was far less powerful than his prime...
However, its essence is extremely high, radiating pure divine pressure, far surpassing those flesh and blood bodies from before!
The divine image of the Law slowly solidified, revealing Loki's handsome yet incomparably sinister face, with tangible rage and icy killing intent burning in his green eyes.
"Insects..." The divine figure of the law spoke, its voice no longer relying on the air to travel, but directly vibrating the soul, carrying the pressure of the law, heavily striking Leng Xuan's mind.
"Destroy my altar, annihilate my body... Now, what other options do you have?!"
The terrifying pressure, like a tangible tsunami, swept over Leng Xuan like a tidal wave!
Leng Xuan groaned, his already severely injured body feeling as if it had been struck by an invisible mountain, his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to his knees!
He clenched his teeth so tightly that his gums bled, and used his left hand to support himself on the ground to keep from falling. But raising the sniper rifle was now extremely difficult!
Loki's divine figure of law slowly raised his hand, green light gathering at his fingertips, condensing into an illusory dagger that seemed to be woven from countless lies and deceptions, pointing directly at Leng Xuan's brow!
Even before the dagger was fired, the tearing sensation of the laws it contained already made Leng Xuan's soul feel a series of stinging pains!
At this critical moment——
"Boom!!!"
A deep blue spatial portal suddenly ripped open to the side! Several powerful auras descended instantly!
The leader, with dazzling golden hair, wielded a longsword burning with holy flames; he was none other than the head of the four special envoys of the Upper Evil Society! Behind him, the three special envoys followed closely, their auras surging, instantly forming a battle formation to block Leng Xuan's path!
"Loki! Stop being so arrogant!" The envoy pointed his longsword, and holy flames formed a barrier, barely resisting the terrifying pressure of the laws.
However, Loki's divine figure merely glanced at them coldly, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "Insects from the Upper Evil Society... You mere mortals who barely touch the threshold of the 'ceiling' think you can stop me?"
He flicked his finger!
Om-!
The illusory dagger of lies vanished instantly, and the next moment it appeared directly in front of the envoy's Holy Flame Barrier!
The barrier was easily torn apart like paper. The four envoys simultaneously groaned, as if struck by a heavy blow, and were sent flying backward. The battle formation collapsed instantly! The difference in strength was too great!
Unless the pinnacle of human potential were to personally confront Loki, there would be no way to directly contend with him at this moment!
The divine figure of the law locked its gaze on Leng Xuan once more, the green light at its fingertips gathering again, its killing intent growing even stronger!
at this time--
"Leng Xuan!!!"
A hoarse yet incredibly familiar shout came from another direction!
A figure staggered towards them like a burnt-out meteor, yet rushed at incredible speed—it was Si Xiaonan! Her face was deathly pale.
Her aura was extremely chaotic, a consequence of the backlash and overexertion of the "Ghostly Guidance," but her eyes burned with a resolute, almost insane flame!
Her gaze instantly locked onto Leng Xuan, and the last, unloaded, god-slaying bullet in his hand, as she hissed, "Give me that...!!!"
Leng Xuan's body trembled violently! He instantly understood what Si Xiaonan was about to do!
His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an icy hand, the pain almost making it hard to breathe!
He knew what that meant... it was a crueler end than death!
Their gazes met briefly in the air. Leng Xuan's eyes were filled with pain, struggle, and reluctance... but in Si Xiaonan's eyes, there was only undeniable determination and urging!
There's no time to hesitate!
Leng Xuan gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, and with his last bit of strength, he hurled the cold, heavy God-Slaying Bullet in his hand at Si Xiaonan!
