Give Zongman some collapse shock

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and felt that he could finally breathe. Then he felt severe pain all over his body and wanted to cry.

His life was like walking on thin ice!

How can it be described with just one word "miserable"?

Well, Mei’s embrace is soft and fragrant, but I have no intention of enjoying it at all. It’s being squeezed so hard that I feel like I’m going to die!

"Are you okay?" Mei asked coldly.

His tone was cold, hiding his anger.

"For now...if you push harder, I'll be dead." Feeling the girl's arms tightening, Jiang Chen pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, smoothing the girl's brows. "Don't worry, I...I'm very tough. It's just a fatal injury, no problem at all."

As he spoke such nonsense, he lamented in his heart that his situation was worse than death.

It hurts so much!

It hurts so much that I want to die!

Is this retribution? He lied to Kiana about dying and tricked her into checking into a hotel, and now the lie has come true.

However, he was also surprised that he hadn't died despite being in this state. He had even watched the entire process of Kiana's Herrscher transformation, but he couldn't make a sound because of the blood blocking his throat. He felt lucky, at least when Xilin glanced at him just now, she clearly noticed that he was still alive, but she didn't fire a single Sub-Sky Spear.

Maybe it's because of bad taste.

Or maybe he didn't want to provoke Kiana's resistance.

Anyway, I survived.

"It's good that you're still alive." Mei's expression was complicated, like sadness and anger, but she suppressed her emotions and said, "Wait for me here. Before you die, I will bring back the heads of all my enemies."

After saying that, Mei wanted to get up.

"and many more."

Jiang Chen quickly grabbed the girl, as if he was still worried. Despite being weak, he raised his hands and hugged Meiyi tightly.

"Why, you can't bear it?"

"Listen to me, that's Kiana."

"I know."

"That is the Second Herrscher, the authority that controls space."

"I will win." Mei raised her head, her eyes fixed on the Queen of the Sky in the sky.

No, I want to rescue it again!

And, win?

Guaranteed death!

Putting aside the attributes of power, and even leaving aside her Honkai energy reserves, Mei stood no chance against Sirin in terms of control and experience alone. Furthermore, who knows which Sky Queen in the sky might be waiting for Mei to deliver the Conquest Gem.

"My injury was not caused by Kiana."

"She is equally guilty." Mei's expression became even colder.

"..." Jiang Chen opened his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitant.

I really wanted to tell Mei to calm down, but I didn't have the nerve to say it.

After all, from Mei's perspective, she went out to meet the enemy with full confidence, surely wanting to show off her strength and reliability. But when she returned, the sky fell.

It is unrealistic to ask Mei to stay calm at this time.

No matter who comes, they won't be able to stay calm. Otherwise, why don't you let Otto watch Kallen die, or let Kevin watch Mei commit suicide in front of him? Will they stay calm?

"Huh~ Listen to me, Meiyi, help me get that…" Jiang Chen pointed at Yuno Suzukaze's body, but couldn't remember her name. He said awkwardly, "That's a pseudo-herrscher. Give me the core inside her body. It can heal her injuries."

Two of his four awakened abilities - [Energy Absorption] and [Strengthening].

They are complementary skills.

[Energy Absorption] absorbs relatively stable energy, replenishing the mana bar. Additionally, absorbing an energy source activates [Strengthen], strengthening objects or individuals. This is a form of interference, not a true healing skill, but it can still mend a broken body.

Mei hesitated for a moment, then chose to obey with a cold face.

It seems that if Jiang Chen lied to her, his anger would be doubled and vented on Xilin later.

Fortunately, after a while, the core of the Pseudo-Herrserker turned into powder in Jiang Chen's hands, and the bloody hole on his chest was filled with flesh, revealing his fair skin.

Next, comes the final trouble.

The two of them looked up together and faced the Queen of Heaven.

"Let's be a little greedy this time. No matter whether it's you or her, nothing that makes Meiyi sad will happen. Believe me, we can perfectly resolve the crisis." After a pause, Jiang Chen asked tentatively: "By the way, if Meiyi can agree to sign a master-servant contract with me, it can increase her survival rate..."

Mei cast a cold gaze at him: "You want to be my dog?"

"forget it."

016 On the Self-Green Nature of the Thunder Queen

The Honkai energy surged towards Xilin from all directions like a tide.

It won't be long before this Honkai energy turns into a raging fire, causing the Herrscher core to start operating efficiently and triggering a major Honkai.

By then, Changkong City will become a hotbed of destruction.

One day... no, just twelve hours, and Xilin would have the confidence to regain the true power of the Herrscher.

Of course, she also noticed the Herrscher of Thunder's arrival. The Conquest Gem within him, which had once belonged to her, was a welcome tonic for Xilin. So, she unabashedly radiated her malice, seizing as much Honkai energy as possible while awaiting the signal to battle.

"Hmm? Human, you're still alive, with the same tenacious vitality as a bug. It's worth seeing." Waving her arms joyfully, her gaze slightly tilted to the side, Xilin snorted softly, "And you, my other half, why have you set foot on this clumsy stage?"

Arrogant, powerful, and contemptuous.

This is the Second Herrscher, the Queen of the Sky—Sirin.

"Hmph! What an unpleasant attitude! I'll chop this face into pieces later. What expression can you still show?" The equally proud Queen of Thunder and Lightning will not tolerate Baimao.

What’s wrong? We are all Herrschers, but you are the only one who is noble?

Mei was originally angry with Kiana (Xilin) ​​because of Jiang Chen's matter. Even if there was no other grudge, Mei would pull her down and beat her up just based on her attitude.

Xilin commented on this: "Haha~ you overestimate your own abilities."

Fellow Herrschers?

As early as when she was dealing with the Herrscher named Walter Yang, Xilin had already experienced the friendship punch of her compatriot, not to mention that she had wanted to dig out Mei's Herrscher core from the beginning.

What are compatriots?

Apart from those who can faithfully carry out the will of God, others are either weak and incompetent guys or traitors who refuse to listen to God's will.

Therefore, in Xilin's view, the Herrschers are the strengthening materials used to dig out the core.

The atmosphere remained tense for a minute, and the two Herrschers tacitly understood each other's hostility.

Words are meaningless, only fists and swords are the truth.

The next second, the battle broke out.

The Sub-Sky Spear shot down rapidly, its unstoppable penetrating properties making even fellow Herrschers avoid its sharp edge. Of course, despite its speed, it couldn't lock onto Mei, who had transformed into lightning.

After a tentative attack, Xilin changed her tactics.

Currently, she can summon very few Sub-Sky Spears, and she cannot waste them, so she simply switches from stabbing to cutting.

The three spears changed their shapes and turned into soft swords that were dozens of meters long. They swept across and cleanly cut off the two tall buildings behind them.

But... even so, it's meaningless if you can't hit.

"You are good at escaping, which is commendable. It's like a game of whack-a-mole, which is quite entertaining. But little mouse, how long can you escape?" With a slight smile on her lips, Xilin moved from time to time to avoid the few lightning bolts shooting towards her.

Such an obviously one-sided battle was just a game in Xilin's eyes.

Because Mei could only dodge hastily, getting hit was practically game over. Meanwhile, Sirin, lazily suspended in the air, needed only a slight shift to dodge the few counterattacks. Furthermore, with her mastery of Honkai energy, even if she took a direct hit, her body would only be paralyzed for a moment, allowing her to quickly recover.

"Its only advantage is its speed."

Xilin casually controlled the rhythm of the attack, and a hint of fatigue gradually appeared on her face.

It's a bit boring.

Jiang Chen hid behind the bunker, feeling a little anxious.

As an 'ordinary person', he would be excluded by Xilin at the beginning of the battle. Because of his powerlessness, he could become a hidden sharp blade, the key to victory.

According to the battle plan he proposed, it should have been her turn to fight long ago. However, Mei passed the designated location three times but did not act according to the plan.

He certainly knew that the plan was very risky, and Mei wanted to create a safer environment.

But how could such a good thing be possible?

Xilin was indeed a pufferfish, prone to swelling. Mei's increasingly infrequent counterattacks, and the weariness on Xilin's face, clearly demonstrated this. But Xilin's attacks also consumed Houkai energy, and as Mei consumed Houkai energy, her stamina was also severely depleted.

If he continues to delay, his own safety may be improved, but Mei will never be safe in the end.

For a moment, he didn't dare to speak, for fear of exposing himself prematurely.

But if we just let it go like this...

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, calculated in his mind, and carefully entered the shadow of Xilin's next attack range.

This position is very clever. Xilin can't see him from an angle, but Mei will definitely be able to see him the next time she turns around.

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

Mei, who was running around Xilin and gradually expanding her range, suddenly paused, then suddenly increased her speed and rushed towards Jiang Chen.

"Stupid, do you know——"

"action!"

At this point, there is no other choice.

Mei could only burst out with all her strength and rushed in the opposite direction holding Jiang Chen.

"Huh~?"

Xilin was slightly stunned.

From her perspective, it was Mei who rushed into a blind spot, and she followed closely behind with the Sub-Sky Spear. Suddenly, Mei didn't choose the shortest straight line to rush out, but instead appeared in an area that had already been attacked.

This did catch the gap in Xilin's attack.

Want to fight back?

A good counterattack opportunity.

Without panicking, Xilin showed an anticipation that soon turned into surprise.

Because what was shooting out was not thunder, but Jiang Chen.

"Humanity?"

No! Is Lei Lu so radical as to use this man as a weapon?

You know, even she had to consider Kiana's feelings and was reluctant to kill Jiang Chen directly. Is this Lei Lu... so cruel?

Whatever comes to mind.

Kiana's resistance ensued, and the Sky Queen's golden eyes instantly turned back to blue.

Just a moment.

In an instant, the dizziness of weightlessness hit my brain, and when I realized it, Jiang Chen's figure was very close.

Xilin raised her hand in annoyance, pinched Jiang Chen's neck and lifted him up in the air.

"Hmph! Is this your trick? Weak, insignificant, and overestimating your own abilities, your dying struggle only accelerates the arrival of death." Xilin increased the strength in her hands, feeling that something was wrong.

If this suicide attack was intended to awaken Kiana's consciousness...

In a sense, they succeeded. At this moment, Kiana was struggling in Xilin's mind. But Xilin was the one who was in control now, and she could still suppress her to this extent.

"Then...what about this?"

With a very strange expression on his face, Jiang Chen grabbed Xilin's shoulders with one hand and her waist with the other, and pressed down hard.

"???"
