LWGP - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Like a Dog

This was a soul attack that could directly annihilate Wang Jiu's soul. In the beginning, Wang Jiu's conjecture about the Eternal Night Race was that they excelled at physical attacks but weren't as proficient with soul attacks. After all, the essence of the Eternal Night Race should be mechanical.

She had dismantled and studied the bodies of Mecha Warriors and knew they had no spirit or soul, only intelligent chips. They shouldn't have the ability to launch spiritual or soul attacks, and even if they did, it would be limited.

The last time she fought this Eternal Night Overlord, hadn't his performance been just that? He had seemed somewhat at a loss against her.

But now, a mechanical aperture opened in his palm, and a single beam of light was released that could directly annihilate her soul…

In that instant, only one thought crossed Wang Jiu's mind—this damn thing had modified its body. Or rather, a terrifying figure even more formidable than him had helped modify its body, specifically equipping it with a "tool" to annihilate souls.

Was she going to die?

In any case, Long Aotian let out a scream like a stuck pig, utterly terrified.

Then… after half of his soul was annihilated, it was suddenly dragged back by a large, equally ravaged soul hand.

Holy crap, was it saving him?!

No, it was devouring him!

Damn it, that Yin Lao was as insidious, cunning, and ruthless as expected! She had pushed him out to use the enemy's soul attack to grievously wound his soul. In his current state, his soul mass was too large for her to devour easily; she might run out of time and be killed by the Eternal Night Overlord first.

Therefore, she needed to knock off half of Long Aotian's soul to make it convenient for her to devour him quickly.

No!

Terrified, Long Aotian immediately sent an application to Wang Jiu.

This application made Wang Jiu stop the devouring process and choose to confirm.

Permanent enslavement.

To protect himself, the great War God Long Aotian had voluntarily chosen to become her slave.

It had to be said, as the number one expert in "getting scared," this self-preserving coward was very clear-headed.

Wang Jiu didn't mock or despise him, nor was she curious why his true nature was so different from his illustrious title of "War God." She only cared about the result.

Enslavement was more beneficial than devouring. First, his soul was not human, which was different from the essence of her own soul. Second, if she devoured him, the total amount of soul she gained would only be half of Long Aotian's original soul. But enslavement was different. It meant she would possess Long Aotian's entire combat power, and it wouldn't prevent him from recovering to his peak.

She knew Long Aotian's true combat power far exceeded what he had previously shown. So, this was a huge profit for her!

However, the prerequisite was that they could survive.

After confirming the enslavement, Long Aotian became infinitely obedient to Wang Jiu. In an instant, obeying Wang Jiu's will, he decisively offered up his own soul to coordinate with her…

Boom!

It was still half a soul, after all. After their souls combined and impacted, they directly shattered the beam of light.

Amidst the scattering brilliance of soul light, Wang Jiu and Long Aotian simultaneously saw a shadow descending in a flash.

Light flowed over the mechanical armor, powerful and cold, as it once again plunged a blade into Wang Jiu's body.

Every attack was calculated, every opportunity perfectly seized. This was the terrifying aspect of the Eternal Night mechanical race. What living beings considered their calmest, most perfect performance was merely the fixed standard for their opponents.

Pfft… It pierced her heart a second time, the blade's energy chewing Wang Jiu's heart into a bloody pulp.

Wang Jiu's HP plummeted by 10% and was rapidly approaching 1%.

It's over!

If he hadn't been enslaved, Long Aotian would have definitely thought upon seeing this: Holy crap, what a great stab!

But now, it was as if his own parents were being murdered. He flew into a rage, cursing, "Turtle-grandson son, are you stabbing a watermelon? I curse you to have a child without an asshole."

Long Aotian wasn't loaded into the game, being an ancient Primordial Spirit beyond the System's reach. If he were, the snarky System would have certainly retorted: Their anatomy doesn't even have that part.

Just as Wang Jiu was about to be completely killed, swoosh. While Long Aotian was still cursing, his soul was suddenly controlled by Wang Jiu, ejected from his body, and sent into a corpse she threw out. Fusion, a dragon's roar, an attack?

No, he was very weak right now. Even if he could perfectly fuse with the body in an instant under Wang Jiu's control, his strongest attack wouldn't be able to inflict much damage on this Eternal Night Overlord.

So… how about releasing a bit of pink poison gas?

Just like that, the pink gas swirled and entangled. The unprepared Eternal Night Overlord was hit, and his reaction was much the same as Wang Jiu's and the others'.

Honestly, Lao Wang had wanted to devour Long Aotian right after she had been hit by it. This poison was a bit too potent, simply incredible. She couldn't care less about its unsavory name, as long as it was effective.

The System couldn't help but sigh at how Wang Jiu was an absolute professional of the hawkish, wolfish type. She had no moral baggage, was a complete realist, and her methods were extremely flexible as long as she could achieve her goal.

See, even the Eternal Night Overlord fell for it. Wasn't this a comeback?

Of course, desire wasn't the point. What Wang Jiu wanted was absolute weakness.

The moment all the energy in his body failed, the Eternal Night Overlord knew his situation was dire. He instinctively dodged backward, but Wang Jiu had already thrust her blade into his chest.

In, out, three times in a row.

She was getting revenge for the two times he stabbed her, and even threw in an extra one for good measure.

She had always been one to repay every grievance.

Each stab was in a different location. One to the chest, piercing through to destroy his energy core. One to the arm, severing the palm that contained the soul attack. One to the neck—how vicious, she was going for decapitation!

Unfortunately, Wang Jiu herself was grievously wounded, with little strength left. With her own HP in the red, she was also weak, so her third strike lacked sufficient force, only managing to cut the Eternal Night Overlord's neck halfway.

Long Aotian, at the side, could have lent a claw, but his claw swiped behind him.

Behind them… the high-level Mecha Warriors had arrived, each possessing STR in the millions. Previously, neither Long Aotian nor Wang Jiu would have been afraid and could have taken on several at once, but not now.

The Eternal Night Overlord must have sent his location when he realized his situation was bad; otherwise, they wouldn't have caught up so quickly.

Swoosh. A claw tore through their attack, but there were too many of them. More than a dozen attacked in concert. One claw tore apart a swath of attacks, and Long Aotian forcibly blocked the rest. Of course, he also coughed up blood—if it weren't for the Gilded King Armor bound to his soul, he would have died.

But the shockwave still affected Wang Jiu, slamming her against the wall and sending her plummeting downward.

Wang Jiu still held her blade tightly, forcefully cutting at the Eternal Night Overlord's neck. She knew all too well that leaving this person alive would lead to endless trouble.

Bang!!

The mountain wall fractured. The Eternal Night Overlord was pinned against the wall by Wang Jiu, who was trying to sever the connection between his head chip and his body. She was so close… He was ruthless too, using his only remaining left hand to grip the blade in Wang Jiu's hand. But this way, he could only defend, not attack.

No, Wang Jiu was stunned, because this Eternal Night Overlord was ruthless enough to open his mouth and bite her neck.

The Eternal Night Race, no matter how noble, no matter how similar their bodies were to humans, were fundamentally forged from the universe's most advanced metals. Their bodies were controllable. So his pretty little white teeth sharpened, sinking into her neck like the fangs of a wild beast… a neck that was neither slender nor fair.

Alright, the body of the Spirit Child Daoist was that of a middle-aged man, not particularly beautiful, but his neck was well and truly bitten. And Wang Jiu could feel that after those little tiger teeth pierced her skin, they began to rapidly absorb her blood.

She was stunned, and then she understood his scheme—the Witch race cared about blood and soul. Blood was the most basic material for sacrifices, the channel for driving spells, but the soul was the source.

He couldn't attack her soul now, and the same was true for her. Soul attacks were no longer effective. To save his own life, he had to destroy her body, just as she had grievously wounded his.

So, sucking her blood was the most effective method.

Wang Jiu felt the loss of blood and, as expected, grew weaker and weaker, unable to sever his neck.

Following that, the high-level Mecha Warriors above had no intention of getting entangled with Long Aotian. They shot over, concentrating all their attacks on Wang Jiu.

Wang Jiu spun around, grabbing the Eternal Night Overlord and using his body to block the attacks… Seeing this, those high-level warriors immediately adjusted the direction of their attacks. Bombardment! The space around Wang Jiu where she could dodge was blasted with a shower of sparks, and scorching flames rolled like a tidal wave.

"Aaaah, I can't hold them off!" Long Aotian watched as the high-level Mecha Warriors chased down after Wang Jiu. He hurriedly pursued them, warning her. At that moment, Wang Jiu saw the third wave of concentrated, combined attacks coming…

She decisively dragged the Eternal Night Overlord and shot downward.

Whoosh! They reached the 30,000-meter limit. The special underground restrictions startled the high-level Mecha Warriors. After a moment's hesitation, they still gave chase, but their speed and power were drastically reduced.

Long Aotian launched a surprise attack from behind…

In the chaos, the bodies of the high-level Mecha Warriors above were shattered, mechanical fragments flying everywhere, while Wang Jiu and the Eternal Night Overlord had already plunged into the darkness.

A ferocious person must have a ferocious inner nature; it's not something spurred by a single moment. The System watched as Wang Jiu and the Eternal Night Overlord remained entangled, neither of their blades nor teeth leaving the other's neck…

System: What the fuck, I'm learning something new. Are they part dog?

This wasn't the first time Wang Jiu had fallen into the space 30,000 meters deep, and she knew its significance. But this time was different. Something below was dragging them.

She had originally thought it was the same kind of soul black mist she had encountered before, but this time it wasn't. There was no entity attached to it; it was just an inexplicable pulling force.

The Earth's core gravity? What the hell!

Still fighting, the two of them didn't even have the strength to resist as they were madly dragged down—thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand…

Bang!!

The two bodies slammed onto the ground. The sharp spikes on the ground made their bodies ache, but neither could be bothered. The Eternal Night Overlord was an emotionless killing machine. His hands swiftly wrapped around Wang Jiu's neck and squeezed.

Crack!

The neck broke, but the Eternal Night Overlord's expression changed. Wang Jiu's soul had already left the body, and her own body suddenly appeared, fusing with it. She flipped him over, pinning him underneath her, and plunged the Gilded Abyss directly into his glabella.

Crack! Golden blood spurted from between his brows, splashing across Wang Jiu's face, but it was stopped by a membrane just short of the skull that housed his chip.

A protective membrane for the chip? Why is it so tough!

Wang Jiu really didn't have much strength left; otherwise, it would have been pierced long ago. However, she used a Gene Potion, gaining a short-term boost, and then with a great effort… the Eternal Night Overlord suddenly raised a hand, clasped Wang Jiu's neck, and held her fast.

What the hell!

Wang Jiu seemed to sense something, but she was a step too slow. The Eternal Night Overlord had already bitten her neck again, but this time… he channeled the blood from his own body into the wound on her neck.

Sucking blood was to cause her weakness.

Giving blood was to let his own blood, tainted with the pink poison, enter her body, so she would be poisoned too!

Just like that, both of them were poisoned. Coupled with the terrifying pressure deep underground that made movement difficult, the poison took effect even faster in their weakened state. And so…

Huff! Wang Jiu gasped for breath, propping herself up on the Eternal Night Overlord's body, nearly fainting right on top of him. The Eternal Night Overlord's breathing was also unsteady, and he had no strength left to attack Wang Jiu.

Just then, a scream like a stuck pig came from above…
