805: Fallen Racing 805: Fallen Racing “You are really… full of surprises.”
In the abattoir-like scene, Yasui Tokiyuki stepped over the bisected colossal corpse in front of him, staring at the blood-soaked Fu Qian.
The massive fractured blade, covered with filthy blood, was slowly retracting into the wielder’s hand.
Just a moment ago, the other had traversed space with an incomprehensible technique.
Like before, the prepared deadly blow meant to decisively execute the monster had unexpectedly struck right in front of him.
Initially, he thought this guy had a natural bloodlust, purposely creating that spectacle of a beheading from the ground, but he was actually being misled all along.
The change was so abrupt that Yasui Tokiyuki had no time to materialize any shields and had no choice but to use the monster’s physical body to take the blow.
Even so, some of the blood on the blade still came from him.
Though not hit directly, some divine-level curse from the blade had still tainted him, creating the concept of a wound on his body.
Of course, in an instant, this contamination had been expelled.
“Not bad, I suddenly hesitate whether to sacrifice you or not.”
“Injuring me is quite the feat.”
“If you’re willing to join Yasui, I’m sure you’ll make for quite the spectacle.”
“That wasn’t any sort of lightspeed close-quarter movement just now, that was akin to a deception of space; where did you get this ability?”
As Yasui Tokiyuki spoke, a mass of fleshly creation-like vines burst from the ground, rapidly tearing and disintegrating the corpse in front of them.
“But you can’t use this technique again in the short term, can you?”
“It came from a fellow called Patch.”
The colossal blade had completely retracted into the arm, and Fu Qian nodded, answering very honestly.
“Additionally, you’re right; I really can’t use this thing again for a short period.”
The Delusory Steps Ring, this had been its first real battlefield test since he acquired it.
Coupled with the deliberately misleading tactics, the effect was quite pleasing.
Deception is always such a useful thing.
Sadly, just as Yasui Tokiyuki said, the ring had entered an inactive state after one activation and would need a considerable amount of time before it could be used again.
Moreover, compared to Yasui Tokiyuki, his condition at the moment was undoubtedly much more tragic.
For that one strike, he had continuously used the Old Day’s Mark, resulting in wounds that could be said to cover his entire body.
“So you haven’t changed your mind now?”
The vines, now sated with flesh and blood, slithered from underground, intertwining into a vine shield in front of Yasui Tokiyuki.
And this resolute stance towards Fu Qian also conveyed a genuine surprise.
“Or are you planning to replicate it once more?”
“To tell the truth, with me on guard, the success rate of the same method would not be high, wait a second—”
Yasui Tokiyuki’s warning abruptly stopped, the next moment he touched his own face.
Where it had been split before, the wound had already healed, but now it was spreading with misaligned semi-circular patterns.
The instant they appeared, there seemed to be a leap of joy from both the moonlight and flesh.
“So this is your confidence?”
For the first time, Yasui Tokiyuki’s expression became grave.
“To guide your Pontiff? To expose my blood before Him?”
While speaking, a dazzling cloak fell from the sky, draping itself upon Yasui Tokiyuki.
Almost instantly, the omnipresent moonlight was forcefully blocked from outside.
“Now you really do seem like a fanatical believer.”
Yasui Tokiyuki’s voice even sounded somewhat hoarse.
“Well done, it will indeed take some effort to clear this thing, especially since the connection hasn’t been completely severed.”
“To experience such an incident right after my promotion is truly bothersome.”
“But no matter, I’ve been through worse.”
“Now the problem is, have you experienced it?”
During the conversation, the flesh and blood vines in front of Yasui Tokiyuki writhed, then suddenly splattered, forming a giant web akin to expelling itself, entirely enveloping Fu Qian.
“I’ve said it before, the ancient Divine Beings have all gone mad, and you actually think you can rely on this point.”
“Do you feel it, your situation is far more serious than mine.”
Do I even need you to tell me?
Fu Qian observed his right hand.
The blow just now had left it covered in cuts.
