Chapter 80

As the ominous wolf lay amidst the ruins of the stage, it was continuously hit by Ye Yun's sniper bullets, its body shaking repeatedly, and large amounts of fresh blood spewed from its mouth, clearly on the verge of death.

However, such a surefire victory was suddenly changed just before Zhang Yusheng's final attack!

"Roar!"

With a roar, a monstrous creature with four bio-mechanical arms, each several meters long and covered in bloody tendons, suddenly descended from the sky. The four arms, originally two to three meters long, were simultaneously flung forward, instantly transforming into four grotesque, snake-like tentacles that fiercely struck out. Zhang Yusheng, who was the first to be hit, was violently thrown away.

"Dai Wenqiang!"

Wenisha's almond eyes widened as she dodged the two giant arms and punched out, "Looking for death!!"

"Ha!"

The man with tumors oozing red and yellow pus on his head shouted, "Wenisha, you're the one looking for death!"

The bio-mechanical arms swept like whips, the wind howling as they struck at Wenisha's waist: "Daring to attack the master, not only you, but even the Bone-Shattering Dragon of the Five-Star Emblem Shield won't survive!"

"You're dreaming!"

Wenisha leaped up from her spot, her long legs darting swiftly over the giant arms. As she neared the enemy's shoulder, she leaped high, and her delicate, petite fist struck with the overwhelming momentum of a mountain, hitting Dai Wenqiang's face. Blood and fluid splattered as he was immediately thrown far away.

"Hmph, a mere nobody dares to stand in my way... What's your hurry?" Wenisha turned and looked at Ye Yun strangely, "Are you trying to pry something out of his mouth?"

"I..."

Ye Yun was desperately trying to pry open the ominous wolf's mouth. Just as he was about to defend himself after hearing Wenisha's words, a massive force hit his abdomen, and the world spun before his eyes. He felt intense pain in his back and realized he had been thrown dozens of meters away, landing among a pile of corpses. When he tried to speak, a mouthful of blood spewed out.

"Ha... hahaha!"

On the other side, Dai Wenqiang got up, despite half his head being almost shattered by Wenisha. He still managed to laugh with his strong vitality: "I am no match for you, but I don't need to defeat you. Lord Ominous Wolf can naturally kill you."

"What..."

Wenisha watched in shock as the ominous wolf, which had just thrown Ye Yun, slowly got up. Its entire silver armor was completely repaired, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on?"

The ominous wolf pressed its hand to its mouth and, when it removed it, the faceplate was fully repaired: "You probably don't know that Research Institute No. 3 has already manufactured a 'Complete Recovery Potion' based on the blueprint provided by the System Mall. Although the ingredients are rare, I still have one on me."

"Damn!"

Zhang Yusheng, his eyes bloodshot, moved rapidly to appear in front of Dai Wenqiang, his shadow following him as he launched a frenzied attack. Powerful palm strikes continuously hit the latter, causing pus and shattered flesh to fly everywhere.

Dai Wenqiang was no match for Zhang Yusheng. His earlier success in throwing Zhang Yusheng was merely due to the latter's focus on the ominous wolf, giving him a chance to ambush. Now, with Zhang Yusheng's bloodlust, there was no room for retaliation. In a blink, he was reduced to a thread, and he had to beg the ominous wolf for help: "Master... save me..."

The ominous wolf stood in place the entire time, seemingly recovering from internal injuries.

Hearing Dai Wenqiang's plea, he said calmly, "Your existence was to give me a chance to be reborn. Now that your value has been realized, I'm sorry, but I won't act for a useless person."

"Aaaah!" Dai Wenqiang wanted to say something, but under Zhang Yusheng's fierce attack, only instinctive screams came out. In less than two minutes, his entire body was thoroughly shattered and beaten to a pulp, turning into a slow-moving pile of meat sauce on the uneven ground.

"So..." The ominous wolf shook his arm, "Wenisha, do you think I'll give you a second chance to use your ultimate move?"

Wenisha's teeth were almost ground to dust. She never thought that a sure victory would be snatched away by a fool's interference.

"What? Have you thought about how to fight next?" The ominous wolf looked up at the battle between the Kage Oni team and the Kowloon military. He frowned as the Kage Oni team was gradually gaining the upper hand, which was not a good sign for him.

"Should I... end this quickly?"

The ominous wolf muttered to himself, then moved his foot, and his figure shot towards Wenisha, delivering a simple but powerful punch.

Despite her weakened state, Wenisha charged forward without hesitation, and the two engaged in battle again.

On the other side, after killing Dai Wenqiang, Zhang Yusheng, who had been in a frenzy, finally calmed down somewhat and stood there in a daze.

Ye Yun, wincing, circled around the battle between Wenisha and the ominous wolf to his side and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..."

Zhang Yusheng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Ye Yun said, "I don't fully understand how your bloodline works, but I feel that what the ominous wolf said earlier was right. You and your shadow should be able to coordinate smoothly and deliver more agile and flexible attacks. But you seem to have been overwhelmed by hatred, making your normally agile style heavy and cumbersome. As a result, when you joined the battle, you became a burden, and even Wenisha was constrained."

Zhang Yusheng smiled bitterly as he watched the battle between the ominous wolf and Wenisha, "Do you know about 'Ten End Shackles'?"

"What is it?"

"It's the effect of the bloodline on the player. The higher the level of the bloodline, the more bottlenecks appear, each representing a mental barrier that affects the player in battle. For every tenth increase in development, a new bottleneck appears."

"Then you..."

"20% development, which is exactly the bottleneck of 'Ten End Shackles.' The shadow is actually my second soul. During this bottleneck, the shadow amplifies my emotions and feeds them back to me. As a result, when I fight an enemy, my emotions become extremely intense, which is commonly known as 'seeing red.'"

"Is there a solution?"

"There is..."

Ye Yun shuddered under his mysterious, resentful gaze, "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhang Yusheng sighed, "The Kusanagi bloodline symbolizes the Yata no Kagami, representing tranquility, peace, and elegance. It complements the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, which the Sasaki bloodline symbolizes. If you can harness the power of the Sasaki bloodline, our combined efforts can help me break through the 'Ten End Shackles.'"

Ye Yun was surprised, "So, can I also..."

Zhang Yusheng sighed, "Yes, the three sacred treasures working together in battle produce a mutual enhancement effect and are very effective for breaking through bottlenecks. Unfortunately, we are not on the same team, and this is our only chance to fight together..."

Ye Yun immediately understood why Zhang Yusheng looked like a怨妇 (a woman with grievances).

"So... how do I harness the power of the Sasaki bloodline?"

"The Great Solar Fire, like my shadow, represents the special energy of the bloodline. If you can unleash the Great Solar Fire, we will win for sure."
