Chapter 1300: Chapter 54: Seed Explosion

Pang Meiqin and Lin Weiguo fought fiercely without regard for their own consumption. Upon witnessing Tang Zheng’s heartbreak over Song Xin’s death, the Beautiful Leg Stewardess dispelled her doubts about him; the Group Leader was still that gentle-natured man.

Time-space Blackfish swam around, frequently launching stealth attacks under Tao Ran’s control. Its ability to breach defenses was sharp, and it could even bite off a chunk from the Rose Crystal Shield.

The Ghost Reaper’s sickle was also powerful, belonging to the category of spirit strikes, which gave it an advantage against bosses like Cinderella. It was a pity that its own strength was too low to cause more significant damage.

Zhao Dongtao charged forward desperately, but Tang Zheng grabbed him and threw him behind.

"Don’t make a mess, you guys go help Gu Xueqi with the Pumpkin Carriage," Tang Zheng didn’t want his classmates to die here. "Dong Zixuan, you go too."

The policewoman’s abilities finally had a venue for usefulness. Magma burst forth like fountains from the cracked ground, pouring over the carriage to bring it down.

"Everyone, don’t run around, stay together for safety!" Zhao Yunwu roared, trying to gather the remaining dozen or so newbies to his side, so that if something happened, there’d be meat shields and enough bait to use.

Bodyguard didn’t choose Ge Cang, although following him might get closer to Mu Nianqi, possibly obtaining some equipment. But there was also the chance of being used up as cannon fodder, and Queen Mu was obviously at odds with Tang Zheng.

Bodyguard analyzed the situation, grabbing the last nurse, and followed closely beside the university students.

Cinderella looked at the group of newbies and revealed an evil smile, raising her flintlock gun.

The university students panicked and scattered instinctively, but still, they were too slow.

Bang! A bullet shot into an unlucky student’s head, blowing off his skull and splattering brain pulp onto the face of a student beside him. Feeling that wet heat and smell, he peed himself.

Lin Weiguo rushed up, but before he could touch Cinderella, he was hit by a consciousness-depriving light beam from her eyes, sending him into confusion and turning to attack Pang Meiqin.

Gu Xueqi fired out Flame Phoenix to save them, panting heavily and too exhausted to speak.

"You guys hurry up and kill. Xueqi can’t hold on much longer." Jing Lan supported Gu Xueqi and dodged the carriage’s charge.

"Brother Lin, be careful!" Tang Zheng appeared in front of Cinderella, blocking the rapier and striking her shoulder, "What’s wrong with you all? Attack!"

Tang Zheng silently made note of those staying out of trouble, while his face feigned urgency, swearing and misleading them, "When did your selfishness become so overwhelming? Dantai, Qin Yan, I’m talking about you, and Bai Guo, what have you been doing while invisible?"

Tang Zheng summoned Daylily, bestowing bonus effects on everyone, then arranged to pay particular care to Gu Xueqi.

Worried about revealing her weakness, Bai Guo appeared behind Cinderella, where Dragon’s Sharp Edge slashed at her neck.

Cinderella dodged, and a golden light arrow shot from the carriage, healing her wounds as soon as it hit her.

The mighty eagle of Aozhou crashed down like a meteor, and Tang Zheng’s clone surrounded the Gravity Suppressed Cinderella, with Mu Nianqi’s clones launching Northern Wind Rings as well.

A flurry of heavy blows finally shattered Cinderella’s Crystal Shield.

Activating Gemini Moon Shadow, Bai Guo disappeared on the spot, slipping out from Cinderella’s shadow. First, a Moon Blade shot towards her cheek to disrupt judgment, while the sharp Insect Bone Cleaver and Dragon’s Sharp Edge sliced open the gown, leaving deep gashes on her snowy white abdomen.

Once the strike was effective, Bai Guo instantly vanished into the shadows again, moving away.

Tang Zheng dodged in time, forcing Qin Yan and Mu Nianqi to bear Cinderella’s fury.

The Pumpkin Carriage fired another golden healing arrow, which Mu Nianqi deflected with a kick, sending Cinderella reeling back and causing the arrow to miss.

Everyone worked together and finally suppressed Cinderella.

Cinderella roared in anger, spitting out a breath to cast Charm, but Tang Zheng ordered the warrior to shield it, blocking the ability since the spirit didn’t have emotions and thus the charm failed.

Bai Guo seized the chance to strike Cinderella with another blow but got hit in the chest while invisible and tumbled out.

"You all go to hell!" Cinderella stabbed Qin Yan, shot Pang Meiqin back, and emitted consciousness-deprivating light beams from her eyes, trying to enslave Tang Zheng and kill the others; her attempt was foiled once more.

"Give it a bit more effort, she’s about to die," said Dantai, sensing the turn of events and immediately spurring everyone to give their all.

"You need to hurry, Xueqi really can’t keep calm anymore," Jing Lan saw Gu Xueqi’s pale face, coughing blood from excessive life energy loss, utterly terrified.

"Hold on a bit," the policewoman advised.

Gu Xueqi shook her head, knowing she couldn’t stop. The Pumpkin Carriage kept bursting halos at an astonishing rate; without the Purification Phoenix continuously dispelling them, the entire team would be affected by the group curse, suffering various negative effects that would drastically reduce combat effectiveness, leaving them at the mercy of Cinderella.

"Just hold on a little longer!" Mu Nianqi spared no effort, her face set with frost, "Everybody go full firepower, if anyone slacks off, don’t blame me for turning on you later."

Queen Mu had seen the situation clearly, the team was too lucky. Without Gu Xueqi, they would have definitely faced team annihilation. Cinderella was out of luck; her attack methods relied on charm and stripping away consciousness to control enemies, making them slaughter each other. Unfortunately, her abilities were countered by Gu Xiaohua’s.

Furthermore, the curse from the Pumpkin Carriage, which caused slowness and stagnation, would have given Cinderella many opportunities to attack, but that too had been cracked.

In this battle, Gu Xueqi was the key. If her performance faltered, the favorable situation would be forfeited, and Queen Mu would absolutely not allow that to happen. She wouldn’t even mind conducting a major team purge to remove those who were deceitful and shirking their duties.

Qin Yan and Dantai could also see this, so they applied their strength. Cinderella’s pressure intensified, but she refused to succumb. Suddenly, she vanished with a whoosh.

"What’s going on?" Pang Meiqin’s chopper swung and missed, infuriating her. The others concentrated and stood guard, searching for Cinderella’s figure.

Cinderella reappeared out of nowhere in a corner, swiping her slender blade towards Bai Guo, who was struck and came out of her invisibility, soon getting hit by a light beam.

"How did she see Bai Guo?" Teng Yuanxiang was puzzled, and other Conquerors also frowned.

Gu Xueqi was like purifying a Natural Stupid; sadly, she was invisible.

"Be careful, Bai Guo is controlled," Ruan Feifei shouted as a warning, vigilant of her surroundings.

"Xueqi, watch out!" Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi cried out, heading for Cinderella. They reacted incredibly fast and without a doubt knew that Cinderella would go after the biggest threat.

As expected, Bai Guo appeared behind Gu Xiaohua, stabbing her blade towards her neck.

A Defense Shield popped up, protecting her body. Gu Xueqi did a rolling maneuver and flung out a phoenix to stop Bai Guo from pursuing. "Jing Lan, Tao Ran, attack."

The Time-space Blackfish and the Ghost Reaper flew back but, unfortunately, lost their target. The policewoman made a merit this time, cracking the ground and bringing forth magma, ensuring Gu Xueqi’s safety. Bai Guo certainly couldn’t sneak attack from across the magma unless she could fly.

Tao Ran deployed the Sigh Wall to safeguard Gu Xueqi.

Mu Nianqi got stepped on by Cinderella but managed to strike her with a chopper. Tang Zheng’s Gravity Suppression was at full power, limiting the boss, but sadly Yuedaimaru still missed.

Cinderella disappeared again and then materialized out of nowhere.

Gu Xueqi’s battle intuition was sharp. She shot a dozen or so phoenixes ahead of her, and sure enough, they hit the invisible Bai Guo, dispelling the control effect.

Everyone concentrated their fire to stop Cinderella from pursuing Bai Guo.

Cinderella vanished, and this time she appeared beside Mu Nianqi. However, this one was no Natural Stupid; she not only blocked the attack but also struck Cinderella in the chest, leaving a terrifying wound.

"Be careful not to get kicked by her. That seems to be the condition for her teleportation," Mu Nianqi shouted. She guessed correctly; Cinderella’s crystal shoes had the power to fix teleportation coordinates, so if she kicked with her heel, it would leave a marker, allowing her to teleport anywhere within a hundred meters.

Cinderella appeared again behind Bai Guo, firing a shot at her before heading for Gu Xueqi. Without killing her, there was no chance of winning.

Jing Lan and Tao Ran were too weak to stop Cinderella, and the policewoman could do nothing.

Gu Xueqi crouched on the ground, injecting herself with Nanomechanical Injection Fluid. Her chest heaved dramatically as she faced the murderous Cinderella without any change in expression. She had never thought of surviving solely with others’ help. She was always confident and self-reliant, ready to struggle with her own two hands.

Because of her healer status, Gu Xueqi was protected by the team. Coupled with her exceptional quality to handle crises, she rarely faced danger, leading to her not having the external conditions to ’explode in power.’

This time was different. Her body’s energy drained, her mouth parched, she felt like a traveler alone in the desert for a month, on the verge of collapse. Yet, she wasn’t scared, resolute and brave, prepared to confront Cinderella. This focus finally paid off; her power burst forth successfully.

A dark red fog surged, and Gu Xueqi was rejuvenated by the newly regenerated energy, but she still pretended to be exhausted. Watching Cinderella kick away Jing Lan and the others, and as the slender blade thrust at her eyes, she moved.

Sidestepping the blade, a phoenix as big as a rhinoceros materialized in front of Gu Xueqi, crashing viciously onto Cinderella’s face, sending her flying. If Gu Xiaohua had had a better weapon, she could have severely damaged the boss.

Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi arrived to intercept her, as Cinderella teleported away, which was unfortunate for Bai Guo, who got hit in the back.

The Pumpkin Carriage drove towards Cinderella, ready to pick her up and escape.

The carriage had a built-in healing space, and sitting inside not only restored physical strength but also healed wounds.

Although Tang Zheng did not know the carriage’s effects, he would not let the boss escape. The Aozhou Eagle collided with it, throwing it off course.

Lu Fan took flight, dual guns blazing, bullets enveloping Cinderella like a storm. Little Lolita finally seized the chance to demonstrate her strength.

An Ice Spear Jungle and Lightning Balls formed a barrage, engulfing the Pumpkin Carriage, trying to blast her down.

A thick and hot stream of magma burst from the ground, hitting the bottom of the carriage and taking it to collide with the ceiling.

Cinderella’s escape failed, and she was intercepted.
