Chapter 92

"Of course... there is!"

As soon as Zhao Zhu finished speaking, his eyes turned blood red, and a blood-colored talisman mark appeared between his brows. Immediately, the talisman detached from Zhao Zhu's body, transforming into a beam of light that struck Chen Fei.

Chen Fei and Zhao Zhu were standing too close to each other, and the blood talisman moved too quickly. Even though Chen Fei herself was very fast, she had no chance to dodge. The talisman imprinted itself into Chen Fei's body.

"Buzz!"

Chen Fei's body trembled on the spot, and she staggered back several steps.

Zhao Zhu also managed to land from the wall, one hand covering the wound on his chest, the other hand pointing forward sharply!

Take advantage of his weakness to finish him off!

At that moment, over a dozen cards flew rapidly toward Chen Fei. Chen Fei's gaze alternated between clarity and confusion, and she remained completely indifferent to the cards, as if she had lost her combat awareness.

This should have been a great opportunity for Zhao Zhu to turn the tide and deliver a decisive blow, but the jade pendant around Chen Fei's neck suddenly emitted a green light, enveloping her.

Each card that struck the green light caused it to tremble violently. After the last card bounced off, the light finally dissipated, turning into a green mist that fell on Chen Fei's face.

The confusion in Chen Fei's eyes finally cleared, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She knelt on one knee, one hand supporting her on the ground, her face pale.

After several exchanges, both Zhao Zhu and Chen Fei were sitting on the ground. However, the one who felt more aggrieved and shocked was Chen Fei. What should have been a one-sided and easily resolved situation for her had now become fraught with complications.

Clearly, the man in front of her was still very weak in the previous mission world. If she had wanted to, she could have easily killed him. But now, despite appearing to have the upper hand, she had been outmaneuvered by him several times, putting her at a disadvantage. This feeling made Chen Fei very unhappy.

Chen Fei was an emotional woman, a very "feminine" woman. In the Jurassic world, she had been lazy and negligent, not checking the raptor coordinates on the monitor, which led to Zhao Zhu outmaneuvering her. She had to use her cat transformation to kill twenty raptors early, which directly weakened her combat ability when facing the mutants later. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so severely injured, waiting for Zhao Zhu to save her and help her complete the mission.

This time, she was outmaneuvered by Zhao Zhu again, allowing him to achieve almost equal combat results despite being at a disadvantage.

"Breath, breath..." Zhao Zhu panted heavily, the five finger-sized holes in his chest were undoubtedly terrifying. Fortunately, his internal organs hadn't been torn out, or he would have been beyond saving.

"This is... Yan Xing's blood talisman? Is this what those big shots wanted? It turns out it was really on you, but why didn't Zou Mengxuan extract it from you when he went to Shenzhen? How could this be!" Chen Fei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up.

"Blame me?" Zhao Zhu still had a smile on his lips. Although his injuries were more severe than Chen Fei's, or rather, Chen Fei's resistance to damage was much stronger than his. The fur on her body wasn't just for show; it provided incredible defense.

"The plane is about to land." Chen Fei stood up. "The cost of killing you is much higher than I imagined. This injury will likely need to wait until the next mission world for the group leader to fully heal me. As a newcomer who has only completed three mission worlds, you have every reason to be proud."

"Do you know that in novels, the worst thing to do before killing someone is to talk too much, because it can give the protagonist a chance to turn the tables. Understand?"

"Are you the protagonist?" Chen Fei laughed. "Besides, I'm injured and need to recuperate my demon energy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be talking to you!"

"Are you done recuperating? Come and kill me, I can't wait anymore." Zhao Zhu had a "looking for death" expression, and he was very eager.

"Alright, I'll satisfy you! I don't believe you have any more cards up your sleeve!"

Chen Fei let out a high-pitched cat call, and her aura suddenly intensified. At that moment, she used her demon energy to suppress her injuries and reconsolidated her combat strength, transforming into a gust of wind and sweeping toward Zhao Zhu.

"It's your turn."

As Zhao Zhu spoke, a soft, playful laugh came from behind him. A woman in white appeared behind him. This figure came from the altar in the Manchu Dragon Vein. To avoid her, Zhao Zhu had hypnotized himself into a eunuch. Later, the sachet had always followed him, even when his backpack fell into the water, the sachet remained "actively" by his side.

"I have no physical form," the voice behind him said with a laugh.

"Use mine, don't be shy, or we'll both be done for."

Zhao Zhu shouted. After the night with the White Snake, his mental strength had improved, allowing him to enter the mental world within the sachet and discover a remnant soul. This soul was somewhat deranged, feminine, and not very intelligent, but it also carried a fierce nature.

This should be one of the tomb-guarding spirits created by the people in the Manchu Dragon Vein. They were all palace maids who had lived most of their lives in the palace, so they only had no aversion to eunuchs. For others, they carried a deep-seated hatred, and any tomb raider who wasn't a eunuch would be attacked.

This remnant soul had attached itself to Zhao Zhu after he hypnotized himself into a eunuch. After leaving the Manchu Dragon Vein mission world and entering the real world, it had become extremely weak, like a rootless reed, unable to awaken. It was only after Zhao Zhu's strength improved that he found her. At this critical moment, Zhao Zhu decided to try his luck and summon her, hoping she could help.

"Alright, I'll borrow your body."

The figure in white walked to Zhao Zhu and then directly merged into his body.

At that moment, Zhao Zhu felt as if a large piece of mint had been stuffed into his mouth on a hot summer day. Every cell in his body sent out a signal of joy, and he stood up from the ground.

Of course, this didn't mean that Zhao Zhu had been granted any special power. It was just that the remnant soul had extracted all of his potential. After the effect wore off, Zhao Zhu might suffer severe backlash, possibly falling ill or even becoming disabled. However, as long as the next mission world began, the group leader would heal his injuries. In this life-or-death situation, Zhao Zhu didn't care about any side effects.

"Hiss!"

"Even if you stand up, it won't help!"

Chen Fei's claws aimed for Zhao Zhu's neck, trying to tear off his head with one swipe.

At this moment, Zhao Zhu should have used his mental strength to control the cards and continue to engage Chen Fei, but he didn't. With the remnant soul entering his body, his potential was unleashed, and he suddenly discovered a hidden power within him. This power, the inner core, was from the inner core he had consumed in the tomb. He had only digested part of it, and the rest had remained hidden in his body until now.

"Roar!"

Zhao Zhu let out a roar, somewhat like a wild beast. He felt his body suddenly filled with power. In response to Chen Fei's claw, he simply punched back. This wasn't Zhao Zhu's preferred fighting style, but his mind was now filled with a疯狂的意念.

"Rip!"

Chen Fei's claws and Zhao Zhu's fist collided. The flesh on Zhao Zhu's fist disintegrated, leaving only bone. Almost all the tendons in his right arm were torn, and he staggered back several steps, finally kneeling down again.

"Crack"

Chen Fei's left hand was broken. She bit her lip, drawing blood, and she was extremely angry:

"Why, why, why has this battle turned out this way!"
