Chapter 1287: Blocking the Bullet
âAlthough itâs said that throwing lives at the seventh shot can effectively mitigate it, not any random life can mitigate the offensive power of a Calamity-grade bullet. Even a Terror-grade life might not be able to meet the requirement. The power of a bullet will definitely not dissipate after a typical Terror-grade is killed. It still needs some special Terror-grade creature to fill this hole. From their abilities, Ox Demon should be the most suitable person to fill this hole,â said Blood Shaman.
âOx Demon is part of the backbone of the Holy Spirit Association. To sacrifice Ox Demon for a ranking seems unlikely, right?â Cave Era said.
âItâs not impossible. The thing in the Venusian dimensional zone isnât merely something Ox Demon can compare with,â said Blood Shaman.
Bang!
As they spoke, the seventh gunshot sounded. Everyone jolted and hurriedly looked at Ya and the others, wanting to know what the outcome would be. Who would block this shot with their lives?
When things turned clear for everyone, they realized that Ox Demon had appeared in front of Ya at some point in time. This outcome wasnât unexpected.
No matter how one looked at it, Ox Demon seemed to be the best person to block the shot.
However, when people took a closer look, they couldnât help but be alarmed. It was true that Ox Demon was standing in front of Ya, but he wasnât hit by the seventh bullet. His body was completely unharmed.
And in front of Ox Demon, there was another creature.
The creature looked like a Guardian. It had a majestic body and was wearing resplendent heavy armor. Its limbs and body were chained, but one could no longer identify it since its head had been shattered by the bullet.
âThatâs⊠Giant Armor GodâŠâ Cave Era stood up immediately and stared angrily at the screen. Her eyes nearly spewed out flames.
Giant Armor God was a rather important member of the League of Guardians. Unlike the Guardians that were sent through the Skysplit Tower, Giant Armor God was a Guardian that grew up on Earth. He was one of the few elites that could advance to the Terror grade. His status in the League of Guardians was second only to the four Heavenly Kings.
Even though his head had exploded, Cave Era still recognized Giant Armor God at a glance. The armor and powerful physique were not something ordinary people could imitate.
âThose bastards from the Holy Spirit Association!â Hermitâs eyes flashed with a cold glint. The Giant Armor God had always been in charge of the League of Guardiansâ fieldwork. It had only been two to three days since he left the headquarters, but he had been captured by the Holy Spirit Association and used as a shield.
The Giant Armor Godâs physique and defense werenât inferior to Ox Demonâs. Although its overall strength wasnât as strong as Ox Demon, it wasnât that much weaker. Using him as a shield successfully nullified the seventh sure-kill bullet.
Ox Demon grabbed the Giant Armor Godâs corpse with both hands and threw it to the side. Ya, Peacock Fairy, and company continued rushing towards the Golden Palace.
Another gunshot sounded. The might of the next bullet returned to the level of the first six shots. It was blocked by Yaâs Primordial Immortal Sword again.
As everyone charged in, they fended off the bullets. However, they were still a long way from the Golden Palace. The sixth shot of the second round was fired, spelling the dawn of the sure-kill seventh shot.
Giant Armor God was dead. Without any vitality or strength, it was impossible for him to block another shot even if his corpse was still around.
Without the Giant Armor God, who could withstand the seventh shot?
Everyone was guessing if the Holy Spirit Association had captured other Guardians or who would be used as a shield.
It wasnât easy to find a powerful Guardian like the Giant Armor God. It was even harder to capture it. It was difficult to believe that the Holy Spirit Association could capture a second one.
The Golden Palaceâs door was already in sight. It seemed a pity to give up now.
This concerned the ownership of the Venusian Companion Beast. No one would give up at this moment.
As long as they blocked the shot again, they could arrive in front of the Golden Palace. And among them, there was Ox Demon who could block the shot. His physique and abilities werenât weaker than Giant Armor God and were perhaps even stronger. Since Giant Armor God could withstand the shot, Ox Demon could likely do the same.
Using an Ox Demonâs life to exchange for a chance of obtaining the Venusian Companion Beast seemed to be their only choice.
Ox Demon gritted his teeth and rushed in front of Ya again. He roared, âPresident, Iâll pave the way for you. Iâll use my life to exchange for the Holy Spirit Associationâs chance to become the ruler of Earth. Itâs worth it.â
âWithout the people, what fun is there in ruling this world?â Ya said indifferently. He pressed his palm on Ox Demonâs shoulder and leaped up. He flew over Ox Demonâs head and, like an immortal riding a sword, transformed into a long beam that shot towards the Golden Palaceâs door.
âNo way. Although this speed is fast, itâs not as fast as the Calamity-grade bullet!â
âJust now, he used the power of Fairy Peacock and True Martial to block the first six bullets. Now, without the augmentation of Fairy Peacock and True Martialâs powers, he wonât be able to block ordinary Calamity-grade bullets, much less the seventh shot, right?â
âAlthough itâs very stupid and naive, I like such a person.â
âAs expected of Ya. That man who fought the dimension alone. If he hadnât been forcefully kicked out of the competition, Ya might have been able to obtain first place without Human Sovereign taking action.â
Everyone discussed spiritedly. Some were disdainful, some were contemptuous, and some were admirers. There were all sorts of emotions.
Zhou Wenâs heart was in his throat. He could naturally tell that Yaâs speed couldnât allow him to reach the Golden Palace before the seventh shot hit him.
Even if he wanted to rush to Venus to save him, it was already too late.
After all, his teleportation skill wasnât precise enough to teleport him directly into the Venusian dimensional zone.
Bang!
The sure-kill seventh shot sounded again, and Yaâs figure was at least a hundred meters away from the Golden Palace. This hundred meters was like an untraversable chasm.
Blocking the shot is impossible.
You have to survive!
Kill him!
Different people roared different thoughts in their hearts, hoping for different results.
Everyoneâs attention was focused on Ya. Seeing Yaâs figure rapidly fall, the hearts of his supporters sank.
As for Yaâs head, it exploded. Even his body exploded.
Just as some people were overjoyed and some were sad and disappointed, they suddenly saw Yaâs figure appear in front of the Golden Palaceâs door. He stood in front of the Golden Palace gates and casually held the Primordial Immortal Sword over his shoulder. The white trench coat imprinted with a black âYaâ swayed with the shockwave as his long hair danced.
There werenât many times when a man could be described as beautiful, but the present Ya was not only beautiful, but had a sort of wildness to him.
His wild and evil beauty was like a famous saber. It was beautiful and artistic, but it also made one unable to control their fear.
The Golden Palaceâs door opened and a metal ball landed in Yaâs hand. The scene in the Cube also changed to a ranking. Yaâs name was shockingly on it.
