Chapter 249: Past times four_2

Lao En looked as if possessed, also grabbing at another tripod leg.

Both father and daughter, one on each side, clung to the leg unable to move. No matter how much they struggled, their bodies seemed to lose control, stubbornly holding on to the leg without letting go.

Hisss!

A shadow flashed by.

Li Chengyi appeared out of nowhere behind the two, stretching out his hand to gently grasp the key and took it down.

"Mine!! That’s my key!!" Lao En screamed, his eyes fixed on the key being taken away, bloodshot.

"Give it back to me!! The key!!"

Bang!!

A black palm harshly slapped Lao En’s shoulder.

The immense force sent him flying sideways in an instant, slamming into the wall of the solarium with a dull thud. He passed out in a blink.

"Die!!" The remaining Qiong An broke free from the Flower Language Technique, raised her hand, and threw something flying towards Li Chengyi.

But before the object could get near, it was cleaved in two by a streak of golden light.

The golden longsword split it in half, sending it crashing towards the open air beyond the rooftop.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded.

Within the yellow flames, Qiong An’s face was as pale as death.

"It was... so close!! Just a bit more!!"

Swish!

The golden light reappeared, and both her legs were severed at the roots. A bright golden glow then flashed, cauterizing and stopping the bleeding at her wounds.

Before her scream could even escape her throat, she was grabbed by Li Chengyi by the hair and casually tossed to the side of the solarium, just like the person before, hitting so hard that her bones broke.

"Is this the key?" Li Chengyi examined the key in his hand closely.

As for the two who had just burst forth, he was not surprised.

With his sense of perception, he had detected the two hiding since his arrival here.

Although their concealment was strong, it lacked the effect of silencing sounds, and their breathing alone was enough to raise his vigilance.

Afterwards, he deliberately lured away the silver-gray figure to test the intentions of these two individuals.

Just as he expected.

The already prepared Hand of Obsession and Shadow Flash not only secured the key but also successfully lured out the two.

"How many people can one key free?" Li Chengyi walked up to Qiong An, who was still conscious, and asked.

This woman was still screaming, but under the effect of the Radiance Field, she couldn’t sustain serious injuries, and the wounds of her severed limbs were already beginning to heal...

Even her pain was fading fast.

As she continued to groan in pain, a golden sword’s tip pointed at her forehead, causing her voice to shrink, no longer daring to scream.

"Answer my question," Li Chengyi said calmly.

"...It can... take two people!" Qiong An bit through the pain, speaking intermittently.

She didn’t want to die! After enduring so many years, just as she was about to succeed, she truly, truly didn’t want to die!!

Fear +3.

Fear +2.

"Hmm?" Li Chengyi showed slight surprise. Was this person actually a strong-willed individual?

Indeed.

To be able to survive in a place like Dark City, whether one had abilities or not, willpower must have already been tempered to be as strong as steel.

It was normal for her to be strong-willed.

"How long have you been here?" he asked again.

"Don’t know... this place, there’s no day or night, we don’t know the time... just know it’s been very long, very long..." Qiong An answered quickly. "You’re so powerful, you can definitely find a new key, right? Can you take us out? We can give you lots of money! Lots and lots of money! We are very rich!"

She suddenly thought of something, seemingly saw a gleam of hope, and began to plead.

"There’s more than one key?" Li Chengyi continued to inquire, ignoring her.

"Yes! There are three keys, of which the original Lien used one, so there should be two left! As long as enough people die, the keys can be reborn and converge! You’re so powerful, you can definitely find another key easily!" Her Yi Country language was very fluent, plus with the Life Garment, she claimed to be wealthy.

Without needing to guess, Li Chengyi could tell that these two must be high-ranking officials from another country.

Many high-ranking elites from smaller countries would learn the White Star Language and Yi Country language. It’s a basic necessity.

"What’s the method to use the keys?" he continued to ask.

"Take it and walk in one direction towards the city until you reach the end, and there will appear an invisible door! That’s the Invisible Door! It will only appear if you have the key! As long as you recite the key phrase, you can enter the door and completely leave this place!" Qiong An explained urgently.

"What’s the key phrase!?"

"As long as you promise to take me out...!" Qiong An said through clenched teeth.

"No need, I can kill you and take my time looking. Lien and the others have left behind many clues. I will find them eventually..." Li Chengyi said coldly.

"The cycles are getting shorter, you won’t have a chance, but if you promise to take me out, I can give you a lot of money, a lot of resources! I am a member of the Dulien family from the Sutan Federation! We own thirty percent of Sutan’s basic mineral resources!! Just take me out..." Qiong An suddenly widened her eyes, her voice abruptly stopping.

Li Chengyi suddenly turned around and swung his Green Electric Greatsword forward.

Crack

Electrical light shot forth and landed on the silvery-gray figure that was rapidly approaching from several meters away.

However, the previously formidable electrical light now only knocked a layer of gray dust off the silvery-gray figure, before it automatically dissipated.

"Stone Armor King!! Don’t fight it! It can revive indefinitely!! You can’t kill it!!" Qiong An screamed.

"Infinite revival?" Li Chengyi dropped the greatsword and with his right hand pointing diagonally to the ground, a Golden Longsword over a meter long materialized out of thin air.

’Flower Language Technique: Hand of Obsession.’

He gently touched the tip of his sword to the ground.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the Stone Armor King’s figure flashed, breaking the sound barrier and slamming forcefully into the ground where the sword tip was pointing.

The floor shattered, and it plummeted down in the blink of an eye.

Seizing the moment, Li Chengyi lifted the two of them and leaped from the edge of the rooftop.

Ah!!

Qiong An screamed in terror.

Boom!

While the three were still in mid-air, Li Chengyi suddenly turned around, looking behind them.

From the waist of the office building behind them, a silvery figure leaped up, crashing through the glass, hurtling towards them like a cannonball.

Its speed was so fast that by the time it was seen, it was already upon them.

’It’s too fast to dodge!’

The thought flashed through Li Chengyi’s mind.

The Flower Language Ability was useful and had become much more powerful than before, capable of controlling this kind of fierce monster before his eyes.

But in the end, it was only control.

It could not completely resolve the trouble.

And he still needed to ensure that the two of them didn’t die, lest their deaths force him out of the Blind Spot, and upon re-entry, find the monster’s strength greatly increased, making it even more difficult.

So...

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Li Chengyi executed a Shadow Flash to evade the Stone Armor King’s pounce, appearing on the street below.

He casually threw the two into the ground-level windows of a shop to the side.

He looked up at the Stone Armor King charging at him again.

’Since I can’t dodge it...’

’Then...’

’I’ll break you!!’

Lifting his hand, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the Floral Dress on his arm suddenly disintegrated, shattering and turning into countless Wisteria petals.

The sand-like petals whirled around him, swirling, and in an instant, transformed into Golden Gladiolus Petals.

Countless Gladiolus Petals quickly adhered to his body, condensing into a suit of armor completely different from before, a golden and magnificent Armor.

Numerous tree-branch-like golden sword spikes emerged, layer upon layer, piling up around him.

Whether it was his limbs, torso, or head.

At this moment, Li Chengyi was entirely encased in a multitude of delicate, sharp golden sword spikes.

His facial features lit up with deep red crystal eyes, and on top of his head, a crescent moon-like blade stood up as if his hair was tied in a bundle, the blade curving upwards, extending and bending backwards all the way to his waist.

Sharp, lethal blades also protruded upward from his shoulders, elbows, and knees.

Whoosh!

A circle of golden rings, with him at the center and a ten-meter radius, suddenly ignited transparent golden flames from the ground.

’Flower Language Technique: Destiny Hit Blade (Within the range of the golden ring, any opponent who enters and has strength lower than oneself will have their speed halved. When using the Flower Language Ability, the first strike in blade form will unconditionally hit.)’
