This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 91: Death Countdown (17)Louis wanted to know why He Yu could control divine power, and because He Yu had lost his combat power yet could still manipulate divine power, he had not dared to act rashly. Now, once he knew He Yu was no threat, he immediately attacked.
—Capture him, and he refused to believe he couldn't force the answer out!
A vicious look flashed through Louis's eyes.
However, the moment he lunged forward, three other shadows moved.
Zhen Xing, Wanrenzhan, and Eugene all leaped over at the same time. The Rubik's Cube, the axe, and the chainsaw activated simultaneously as they met Louis's attack head-on!
One person couldn't stop Louis?
Then what about three?
The three of them stood like a wall before He Yu, firmly blocking the SS-rank Louis!
Yes, while He Yu had been stalling for time, the effects of their medicine had worn off, restoring their combat power.
According to Louis's original plan, he would've directly "modified" the three of them without wasting words, never giving them a chance to recover.
But He Yu's sudden manipulation of divine power had completely shattered Louis's understanding and successfully bought time.
Eugene gritted his teeth.
"He Yu, what do we do? Hurry!"
As his words fell, his barely functioning chainsaw swung again. Together with Wanrenzhan's axe, one attacked Louis's left hand while the other targeted his right.
Meanwhile, Zhen Xing manipulated the Rubik's Cube and launched an attack directly at Louis's head.
Without knowing what He Yu intended.
Without having any chance of victory.
They still stood together with complete trust and tacit understanding, joining forces to resist.
"Bang—"
The violent collision between equipment sent up huge waves, nearly blowing away the surrounding black energy. The dungeon trembled slightly, and fine dirt rained down from the cracks.
Wanrenzhan, Zhen Xing, and Eugene staggered backward several steps, their expressions darkening.
Even with the three of them working together, they were completely unable to defeat him!
This Louis was far stronger than they had imagined.
Louis himself also stepped back once. Not expecting to be pushed back by a few "little brats," his expression immediately became gloomy. A sinister smile curled at his lips.
"You think recovering means you can leave here alive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and casually threw away the bayonet he was holding.
The three stared at him warily. Although they didn't know what he was about to do, their bodies instinctively tensed. It was the natural reaction brought on by fear.
—Throwing away his equipment?
—Why did he suddenly feel even more dangerous?
With empty hands, a mass of black energy appeared in Louis's palm. Then, two nearby ghosts were sucked over and transformed into black energy within his hands!
Everyone: "!!!"
Bullet comments: "!!!"
Their pupils contracted as they stared in shock at him and the two masses of black energy in his palms.
He had actually turned two ghosts into black energy with a mere wave of his hand!
The black energy around them already made them uncomfortable, and Li's black energy carried the aura of a powerful being. But the black energy in Louis's hands right now brought suffocating oppression.
Louis's eyes became blood-red, and thicker black energy swirled around him.
"I'm telling you—combat power is nothing to fear. Divine power is invincible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his raised hand, wrapped in black energy, slammed down toward the three.
Zhen Xing and the others instinctively raised their arms to block.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
A disturbance several times greater than before erupted. Previously, only dirt had fallen from the cracks. Now, fractures spread outward, and even more debris fell.
Even the dungeon itself had become like this.
As for the three taking the attack head-on—
Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan were sent flying immediately. Eugene's patched-together body cracked open again, his mechanical arm completely jammed, and his head smashed into the ground and rolled twice.
Eugene: "..."
—Damn it, if I break apart again, can they even put me back together?
Blood spilled from the corner of Zhen Xing's mouth. Supporting himself against the wall, he stared fixedly at Louis in disbelief.
Wanrenzhan immediately turned to He Yu, shock filling his eyes.
This Louis had used no equipment, yet possessed such terrifying combat power!
With a single strike, he had blown all three of them away!
Was this really only SS-rank?
Probably... far beyond that.
Zhen Xing and the others were all elite fighters of the Federation. Their combat techniques and awareness were flawless. After entering <Top Talent Show>, they had continuously advanced and obtained equipment, increasing their combat power.
Even if the three together couldn't defeat an SS-rank expert, they shouldn't have lost this badly.
If the problem wasn't with them—
Then it was Louis who had a problem.
They stared at him.
The black energy around him became denser and denser. His eyes were blood-red, his palms had turned black, and he was completely different from before.
He stepped toward He Yu.
The three had already been blown away.
There was no one left standing in front of He Yu.
Louis sneered.
"Well? Have you seen the might of divine power? Divine power isn't something mere mortals like you can resist."
Having stepped onto another path, Louis no longer cared about the path of combat power.
After all, the difference in power was obvious.
If combat power were truly so strong, why would he abandon it and choose another path?
Clearly, the ghost path he had chosen now was far more powerful, so powerful that no one could resist its allure.
He Yu understood this very well.
He naturally knew that whether spiritual energy or demonic energy, both were stronger than combat power.
Combat power only utilized a tiny portion of energy, while an energy system could wield several times more power.
Louis walked up to He Yu and reached out.
"Tell me. Why can you control divine power? How do you do it?"
His hand was about to seize He Yu's throat.
Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan forced themselves up, ready to rush over.
He Yu slightly raised his hand and waved.
Signaling them not to move.
The two hesitated and stopped.
Louis's hand wrapped around He Yu's neck.
"Speak! Why? If you don't tell me, I'll strangle you to death right now."
His fingers tightened.
He was serious.
He Yu struggled twice instinctively, his voice hoarse.
"I'll tell you. It's because I—"
Suddenly he looked at Louis, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. Amusement flickered within those beautiful black eyes.
"Louis, you've lost. You've completely lost."
Louis froze.
Lost?
Did someone trapped in his hand have the qualifications to say he had lost?
Mockery appeared on his face, and his grip tightened.
Veins bulged on He Yu's forehead, but the smile never left his lips. It was as though he didn't care that he was about to be strangled to death. With difficulty, he spat out—
"Still... not awake... yet?"
Awake?
Who?
Louis froze again.
And during that second of distraction—
The bound pitch-black shadow slowly opened its eyes.
Those beautiful water-blue eyes were extremely familiar.
The moment those blue eyes opened, the black mist around him surged violently. His figure remained indistinct, but those eyes were crystal clear.
Zhen Xing and the others were startled.
Those eyes!
How had they appeared on Li's face?
Wait!
Could those eyes actually belong to Li?
Hadn't He Yu said before that the owner of those eyes was Li?
He Yu had released the eyes earlier. While distracting Louis, he had already sent them out, and those water-blue eyes seemed to know where their owner was, immediately returning to him.
The eyes settled into Li's sockets and slowly fused.
Using one topic after another, one analysis after another, He Yu had guided everyone's attention.
No one noticed—
That the pitch-black body had gained a pair of blue eyes.
Not even the audience had noticed.
He Yu had been buying time.
Buying time for the blue eyes to awaken Li.
He could feel the fluctuations of Yu Qi over there.
He was almost certain Li was about to wake up.
And sure enough—
Li woke up.
Louis froze.
Then his pupils contracted.
His grip tightened again, black energy surging violently.
"What did you do?!"
He Yu replied,
"I merely... returned his eyes."
Even though he was being held aloft.
Even though veins bulged on his forehead.
Even though speaking was difficult.
He still maintained his calm and composed demeanor.
"Hahaha!"
Louis burst out laughing, his scarlet eyes fixed on He Yu.
He yanked He Yu close until their faces were inches apart, his voice wild.
"Then I should thank you for returning them! Over the years, he sent those eyes out and caused all kinds of trouble. Returning them means they won't bother me anymore! You think getting his eyes back lets him escape? Dream on. He can't even break those chains. He's been weakened for three hundred years. He's nowhere near my level!"
Pride covered Louis's face.
Those eyes had disappeared for a hundred years.
The entire Ghost Town was filled with Yu Qi. Hidden within it, the eyes had gathered countless conscious ghosts and constantly caused him trouble.
He had searched for a hundred years and never found them.
Yet He Yu had delivered them back himself?
Of course Louis was delighted.
The chains binding Li were special equipment, extremely difficult to break. And Li was no longer the Li from three hundred years ago. He had continuously been weakened, his body turned into countless ghosts scattered throughout Ghost Town.
Now that the eyes had returned—
There would be no escaping again!
"Hahahaha!"
Louis laughed again.
He Yu's expression remained unchanged.
His slender, distinct fingers lightly grasped Louis's wrist, his voice hoarse.
"Really? How do you know he's definitely weak right now? Even if he is weak, can't he become strong again? You know that although he has been weakened, he's constantly producing Yu Qi. Three hundred years have passed. If you hadn't dispersed all that Yu Qi, just how strong do you think he would've become?"
Louis's smile froze.
His face darkened instantly.
"Impossible. He's been continuously weakened for three hundred years. The divine power he generated has been spread among tens of thousands of ghosts. He cannot become stronger!"
His voice was certain, as though he had seen through He Yu's bluff.
"Maybe he couldn't by himself. But I'm here."
He Yu chuckled.
There wasn't the slightest hint of bluffing in his eyes.
Only complete confidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fingers holding Louis's wrist moved slightly.
Boom—
Combat power was invisible.
He Qi was invisible.
But because Ghost Town contained countless ghosts and because Li himself was special, all of that Yu Qi carried an ink-black color.
Suddenly, enormous amounts of black Yu Qi surged out of Louis and into He Yu, before flowing into Li, who had begun floating upward.
Black ink rolled wildly.
Large amounts of black blood spilled from the corners of He Yu's mouth.
His face turned pale.
Only the viewers in his livestream could see it—
His true death countdown was dropping rapidly!
Yet his expression never changed.
He kept his hand tightly around Louis's wrist.
The sudden change startled Louis.
As though throwing away some terrifying demon, he violently flung He Yu aside, panic filling his face.
—What the hell was happening?!
At that instant, he felt his divine power disappearing at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, the bound Li was recovering at an equally horrifying rate.
Louis truly panicked.
He didn't know how He Yu had done it.
But He Yu had become a threat!
He attacked Li immediately.
Bang—
He was repelled.
The surging Yu Qi protected Li.
Fear appeared on Louis's face.
From his feet upward, terror spread through his entire body.
His spine turned cold.
"No! No, this can't happen!"
He Yu's face was pale, and he could barely move, but he still looked at Louis.
"Mr. Louis, you probably never imagined this either. You could manipulate and use the ghosts Li created, helping him continuously generate Yu Qi... Once Li recovers, what do you think will happen to you? To the ghosts?"
As he spoke, endless black energy poured from Louis and the surroundings into He Yu and then into Li.
The black ink surrounding Li became increasingly violent.
Louis's scarlet eyes locked onto He Yu.
His voice became frantic.
"Stop him! Hurry, stop him! Kill him!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Louis and countless ghosts charged forward.
If Li couldn't be stopped—
Then stop He Yu!
Kill He Yu!
Louis led the ghosts in a mad assault.
Shocked by the sudden reversal, Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing immediately climbed back up and rushed over, protecting He Yu.
—He Yu absolutely could not die!
—Whether they wanted him dead or not didn't matter. In their current situation, only He Yu knew what to do next.
Their only chance of survival was with He Yu.
Thus, even though killing ghosts reduced their countdowns, they still desperately resisted Louis and slaughtered ghosts, buying He Yu time to awaken Li.
Even Eugene climbed up from the ground, crudely set his head back in place, and threw out consumable battle equipment.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!!
The countdowns of all four of them dropped rapidly.
Louis became increasingly frenzied.
With a wave of black energy, he sent them flying again.
He had completely gone mad.
Even exhausting all their combat power, Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan couldn't stop him.
—Too strong.
Strong to an illogical degree.
The two were sent flying once more.
Without giving them another chance to rise, Louis's giant palm slammed toward He Yu.
That enormous hand.
That terrifying black aura.
It descended upon him.
As though a single strike would leave the fragile, tiny He Yu unable to rise again.
Yet—
The giant hand stopped an inch from He Yu.
Fear filled Louis's eyes.
His divine power was being sucked away at a terrifying speed.
Even the surrounding ghosts disappeared instantly, all of their black energy entering Li.
This wasn't He Yu's doing.
It was—
Li.
Shrouded in shadow beside them, Li had completely awakened.
He looked in their direction.
And massive amounts of black energy flowed out of Louis and into Li, impossible to stop.
Boom—
The special frost-covered chains exploded.
Black energy surged like an ocean.
Li slowly and stiffly raised his hand.
The black energy around Louis rapidly disappeared.
And Louis himself aged at a horrifying speed.
His hair turned white.
Wrinkles spread across his face.
Fear filled his eyes.
Frozen in the posture of attacking He Yu, he stood motionless.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that everything he had stolen from Li over three hundred years—
Could be reclaimed with a single movement.
The ghosts attacking Zhen Xing and the others also stopped.
Black energy emerged from them and flowed into Li.
Throughout the underground chamber, rivers of black energy converged toward one place.
For three hundred years, Louis had treated Li like an inexhaustible resource.
Though Li remained weak, he had never stopped producing Yu Qi.
And now, the amount of Yu Qi in Ghost Town was countless times greater than three hundred years ago.
As more and more Yu Qi gathered, Li's body became increasingly solid, increasingly powerful.
A terrifying pressure spread outward, making everyone feel unable to breathe.
And at that moment, the same sentence appeared in everyone's minds—
【The Demon King has awakened. Begone, little ghosts.】
He Yu stopped acting as the "transfer point."
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the patterns and trajectories of the black energy flowing through Li's body.
—Energy.
He was using energy.
