Chapter 45

**Yōmī Fire Talisman!**

Just as he was about to be hit, Zhou Xian immediately used the Daoist's ultimate move.

The Yōmī Fire Talisman directly blew away the Flame Blade and even continued its momentum, heading straight for Li Zheng!

Before seeing Zhang Taihao and Mo Ye mutually annihilate each other with their ultimate moves, Zhou Xian didn't know this move. But now, Zhou Xian used it on the spot, and this move actually had an unexpected effect!

Li Zheng never expected Zhou Xian to use this method to counter. He took the full brunt of Zhou Xian's attack, and the protective shield on his body instantly wavered.

At this moment, Zhou Xian also steadied his mind and stood up.

"Hmph, what if you can use this power? In the face of the adult's power, you are nothing but a weakling!"

Li Zheng roared, and the staff in his hand burst into intense light. This terrifying crimson light instantly formed a wall of fire.

The scorching heat spread throughout the room, and the tables and chairs nearby immediately caught fire under the power of this fire skill. The pungent smoke made Zhou Xian extremely uncomfortable.

Li Zheng's fighting style, if placed in a game, would be a typical example of the "fierce fire" style. Zhou Xian was quite familiar with this style, but this was the first time he encountered such abilities in the real world.

"What should I do..."

In the real world, the surrounding environment also became an accomplice to the opponent. The longer this situation lasted, the more disadvantageous it was for him.

"Then I'll close in and finish this quickly!"

With this thought, Zhou Xian immediately turned and charged forward.

"Nice try!"

Li Zheng immediately threw two fireballs to obstruct Zhou Xian.

At this moment, Zhou Xian also cast two Soul Dao Talismans, neutralizing Li Zheng's attack.

In this situation, as a Daoist, Zhou Xian was somewhat restricted. After it seemed that summoning spells couldn't be used in the real world, the Daoist's combat power significantly decreased. In PvP, the Daoist's pets had various roles, but Zhou Xian couldn't use such skills now.

However, at this moment, Zhou Xian suddenly moved in a peculiar manner, drawing a strange angle that made it impossible to track his movements.

"What—What kind of technique is this?!"

Seeing Zhou Xian's steps, Li Zheng's attack immediately stalled.

Zhou Xian's movements were too bizarre.

Each step he took was at the limit of Li Zheng's two skills. At this position, Zhou Xian could be hit by the skills at any moment, but he could also escape at any moment.

At this position, Li Zheng didn't dare to use his skills recklessly. If his skill missed Zhou Xian, he would be caught off guard and approached.

Although the real world and the game world were different, Li Zheng's skills were clearly from the game world, and these skills had the same side effects of stiffness. During the stiffness, it was difficult to control one's body, an irresistible force, like being hit by a car, no matter how strong a person was, they would still be knocked away.

So at this moment, Li Zheng was completely suppressed by Zhou Xian's movements.

Even in close combat, Li Zheng wasn't afraid of just Zhou Xian, but Beidou standing beside him made Li Zheng hesitant to make big moves. Once he was suppressed in close combat, his powerful magic would be useless.

This was the real world, and even if he used his skills, he would have to bear the full damage, unlike in the game where the system reduced the damage.

Because of this concern, Li Zheng's movements stopped.

"This isn't one of the three great displacement skills, nor is it Infinite Step. What kind of movement technique is this?"

Infinite Step and the three great displacement skills were techniques from the game, but to achieve god-like completion, they required constant practice in the real world. Zhou Xian's technique, however, was not of this kind.

"This is my own technique, different from Infinite Step and the three great displacement skills. It's my own technique—Chaotic Steps!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xian had already slipped through the gap in Li Zheng's skills!

Seeing Zhou Xian's figure, Li Zheng immediately used the Wind Fire Wheel. Instantly, a flame wrapped around Li Zheng.

But Zhou Xian wasn't in a hurry. He immediately cast three Soul Dao Talismans, followed by a Poison Spell.

This Poison Spell in the real world seemed to be more than just a "DEBUFF." As soon as it was cast, Li Zheng's face turned green, and his lips turned purple, as if he were truly poisoned.

"This is your fault!!!"

After being hit by the Poison Spell, Li Zheng was clearly in a state of "pain" from the poison. His red eyes glared at Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian seemed to sense something and looked up to see the ceiling glowing red.

"Damn!"

The Mage's ultimate move, Meteor Shower!

Zhou Xian realized he had nowhere to retreat.

"Then I'll continue to close in!"

Zhou Xian rolled, picked up a nearby chair, and swung it at Li Zheng's head. Li Zheng hurriedly blocked with his staff.

The opportunity was in this instant!

Zhou Xian immediately drew a talisman and prepared to use the Daoist's ultimate move—Yōmī Fire Talisman!

Seeing Zhou Xian's move, Li Zheng's face twisted, clearly knowing the kind of injury he would face if hit by Zhou Xian!

——!

An unexpected event occurred.

Zhou Xian's talisman instantly turned to ashes, and the Yōmī Fire Talisman disappeared.

The Meteor Shower also hit the ground at this moment, and the concrete floor was instantly shattered, creating a large hole. The three of them fell through. Zhou Xian's remaining talismans scattered as they fell.

Looking at these toy talismans, Zhou Xian suddenly remembered the description he had seen about talismans—5% chance of spell failure!

And now, this was clearly a skill failure!

Before Zhou Xian even hit the ground, Li Zheng, who had already recovered, immediately seized the opportunity and used a fireball to knock Zhou Xian away, slamming him into the wall.

Zhou Xian, hit by a double blow, spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhou Xian, are you okay?"

Fortunately, they were only on the first floor, and Beidou, who was not seriously injured, immediately came to Zhou Xian's side and helped him up. However, Zhou Xian felt a tightness in his chest, and his internal organs were clearly damaged, with several ribs likely broken.

"It seems we are truly at the end of the road."

Seeing Li Zheng, who had already stood up, Zhou Xian gave a self-deprecating smile.

He could barely stand with support and had no way to continue fighting Li Zheng.

"Ha ha ha, see that? This is the price you pay for interfering with the adult's plans! If it weren't for your Dragon Tomb Society meddling, I would have already collected enough negative emotions to summon the adult here. But you not only interfered with my plans, you also suddenly came here, forcing me to urgently ask the adult for this power and delaying the adult's arrival. But now, you will pay for your actions!"

"Adult? Could it be that the Dragon Tomb world is more than just a game?"

Zhou Xian feigned shock.

"Hmph, you people don't understand the true meaning of that world. You think it's just a simple game?" Li Zheng looked at Zhou Xian with arrogance.

"Then Ying Tianlong's coma is also related to you? This Soul Thought System, I remember, is a skill that uses the difference between reality and the system, but it seems to be more complicated than that, right?"

As Zhou Xian spoke, he spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.

"Ha ha ha ha! Since you're about to die, I'll tell you. The Soul Thought System is far more complex than you can imagine. This system represents the true essence of two worlds!"

"Who is your adult?"

Zhou Xian quickly asked another question.

"Hmph, do you think you deserve to know the name of my adult? You're about to die, and you still want to extract information from me?!"

"… Hmm, from your reaction, your adult is probably one of these two: the Demon Lord of Iron Blood City or the Nine Abyss of Seven Cultivation Sea."

It wasn't Zhou Xian who spoke, but Beidou beside him.

Upon hearing Beidou's words, Li Zheng's eyelids twitched, and he immediately threw a fireball, sending Beidou flying. Without support, Zhou Xian fell to the ground again.

"It seems your master is one of these two, right?"

Seeing Li Zheng's overreaction, Zhou Xian made his guess.

"So what if you know? Do you think you can still stop me?"

"Unfortunately, I didn't discover your plot earlier. From the way you hid from Beidou and me, it was clear you didn't have the power then. If we had found you then, you wouldn't be so arrogant now." Zhou Xian sighed.

"Hmph, when I first saw you invade, it really scared me. But it was worth it. You are my great enemies. Eliminating you, even if the adult's arrival is slightly delayed, is worth it. It's just that you were too clever, and it cost you your lives."

"… It seems we really can't do anything this time." Zhou Xian turned and looked at the nearly lifeless Beidou.

"Ha ha ha ha! That's right! Now is your time to die!"

Li Zheng laughed maniacally.

"Alright, I understand. But I've gotten the information I wanted, so it's fine."

Zhou Xian lifted his eyelids and looked at Li Zheng, then immediately opened the interface and selected the function… Save.

At that moment, Li Zheng's expression froze, and time and space came to a complete stop.

Then, everything reversed…
