2490  An Opportunity

In the White Abyss Arena, invitation cards of the deceased were not permitted to be taken.

But with no one watching, why not take it if you can?

Fang Heng pocketed the points card and shifted his gaze toward the back.

“Fang Bai! I want blood for blood!”

Ma Lu had been trying to reach Ma Ying for reinforcement, only to be blocked by the layers of vines and roots from Abe Akaya, preventing him from arriving in time.

Seeing his brother fall to Fang Heng, Ma Lu was consumed by rage. His protective aura flared up again, and he charged at Fang Heng with a reckless, desperate determination, ready to fight to the death.

“Humph!” Fang Heng let out a heavy snort and quickly moved towards Abe Akaya.

There was no rush. He could afford to toy with them a little longer.

With the aid of Abe Akaya and the black fog, Fang Heng had more than enough power to scatter the group, creating opportunities for one-on-one engagements.

Continue!

Fang Heng kept his gaze fixed on the stag, seizing the opportunity. Rather than retreating, he advanced directly towards the stag.

“Year Ring!”

Whoosh!!!

With the acceleration effect of the Year Ring, Fang Heng swung his metal long rod forward with tremendous force.

“Bang!!!”

The long staff heavily struck Ma Ying’s fist, which was covered in protective qi, and a muffled sound was heard.

Fang Heng immediately felt a surge of lifeblood energy as Ma Ying was sent flying with a powerful boom!

“Heh, quite impressive,” Fang Heng muttered under his breath, then said in a deep voice, “Abe Akaya! Help!”

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Vines and roots surged up from behind Ma Lu, cushioning his backward flight. The layers of vines wrapped tightly around him, pulling him swiftly down towards the ground.

Burial!

Tree realm seal!

Ma Lu, still dazed from the earlier blow, suddenly realized his perilous situation. With a fierce bite of his tongue, his protective aura erupted!

“Boom!!!”

The explosive aura shattered the vines that had wrapped around him, tearing them apart.

At his most vulnerable moment, Ma Lu, stripped of his battle will, was about to retreat when his eyes widened in shock.

Whoosh!

What?!

Fang Heng seemed to have anticipated his escape. Out of nowhere, he appeared right in front of Ma Lu.

Chi!

Fang Heng suddenly raised his hand toward him and forcefully pulled it forward.

The black fog around him immediately condensed into a thick and heavy hand that grabbed his neck tightly.

“Fang Bai!”

Yves arrived in support as quickly as possible, but still arrived a step too late. He shouted loudly to stop, “Hold on!!!”

Fang Heng turned his head and gave Yves a cold, disdainful glance.

“Ha…”

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!

Dark, black fog around them began forming dark, sharp spikes that flew wildly toward Ma Lu!

Almost simultaneously, the lifeblood long sword that Fang Heng had carried on his back exploded!

Dense lifeblood spikes and black fog-created black spikes surged toward Ma Lu with piercing attacks!

“Bang! Bang bang bang!!!!”

The dense red and black spikes exploded against Ma Lu’s protective aura, shattering into fragments before re-condensing into new spikes, which continued their relentless assault. This cycle of attack and regeneration persisted without pause.

Ma Lu’s protective aura was depleting at an alarming rate!

“Boom!!!!”

In a matter of moments, the intense explosion triggered by the final lifeblood spike scattered a large area of black fog and blood around.

The lifeblood spikes and black fog spikes quickly reformed in midair.

“Chi, chi chi chi!!”

In the next moment, the dense red and black spikes pierced through Ma Lu’s body!

Ma Lu, using the last ounce of his strength, lifted his head and looked at Fang Heng, his eyes blazing with intense wrath.

“Chi! Chi…”

In the next moment, numerous vine roots surged up from the surroundings, wrapping Ma Lu in layers upon layers of vegetation, pulling him deep into the entwined roots to be absorbed as nourishment.

Fang Heng’s eyes quickly took on a gray hue as he looked up into the air.

No wonder players said that cultivating martial arts in the game world was far more difficult than cultivating spells.

Ma Lu and Ma Ying, the two brothers, had come this far, and the price they paid was no less than anyone else’s.

Yet, even now, they had still not mastered the ability to be reborn after death.

Other elemental, psychic, and even mechanical systems had methods for preserving souls to achieve rebirth. Mechanical systems could even transfer consciousness to another body, finding ways to retrieve the soul from the death realm to achieve a form of eternal life.

Yet, in martial arts, even reaching the grandmaster level, no such method for rebirth was known.

From the perspective of the game, the inability to resurrect meant extremely low fault tolerance.

Moreover, since the souls of Ma Lu and Ma Ying were unaffected and naturally returned to the death realm, Fang Heng couldn’t gain any KPI from their deaths.

Fang Heng quickly picked up the points card that had exploded from the corpse and turned to look behind him.

Seeing Fang Heng effortlessly deal with Ma Lu and Ma Ying in such a short time, the crowd was filled with both shock and anger.

“Fang Bai!”

Yves was extremely shocked and furious.

Seeing the fate of the two brothers right before him, a surge of fear rose in Yves’s heart, causing him to involuntarily take a few steps back.

Ma Lu and Ma Ying were extremely powerful, and even together, they had been defeated by Fang Heng. Could he, Yves, possibly stand a chance?

What Yves hadn’t anticipated was that Fang Heng, now embodying the form of a Death God, was rapidly advancing towards him!

“Go to hell!”

Yves let out a powerful shout, pushing his mental strength to its limit. All around him, a multitude of colored elemental light spots rapidly condensed.

Elemental explosion!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!

The densely packed elemental light spots continued to condense around Yves’s body.

With his mental strength fully unleashed, the dense elemental light spots locked onto Fang Heng as their target and charged toward him!

Fang Heng, seeing the massive array of condensed elements, felt a surge of caution. He couldn’t afford to be careless. His hands quickly came together in front of him, condensing and forming a protective barrier.

A multitude of thick, intertwined tree roots and vines rose up in front of him, blocking the path of the elemental light spots.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!”

The elemental light spots collided with the tree roots and vines, exploding upon impact and shattering the barrier created by the roots!

More elemental light spots penetrated through!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

Immediately after, a large amount of black fog surged over from the space, forming a second dense barrier in front of the elemental light spots!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!”

The elemental impacts created a series of muffled thuds within the black fog.

The exploding elemental spheres tore through the fog once more!

At this point, having breached two layers of barriers, more than half of the originally dense elemental spheres had been depleted.

“Whoosh!!!!”

A third, faint green shield, condensed by Abe Akaya, appeared in front of Fang Heng.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

Another series of explosions!

Abe Akaya’s defensive barrier soon gave way under the explosive impact of the elemental sphere, shattering with a loud boom!

Amidst the scattering debris, less than one-fifth of the elemental sphere remained, still pursuing Fang Heng.

Whoosh!!

Layers of massive bone barriers rose from beneath the vines!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!!!”

More than ten giant white bone barriers were instantly shattered by the elemental sphere!
