Chapter 488 The Death of Houston
Buzz——
The huge black spherical polyhedron suddenly collapsed, enveloping the dark and deep fragments inside, all gathered into one point, twisted and rotated and disappeared, leaving only a huge hole on the surface of the spiritual world.
Snap.
Chen Lun's tall figure slowly landed.
He stood upright, shook a stick in his hand, and punched the silver cane on the ground. After waiting silently for a few seconds, he suddenly shook his head and chuckled, looking at the ruins of the building not far away.
"Houston, do you think I'm an idiot, or do you think you're an idiot? Get out of here!"
Chen Lun shouted.
No kill prompt popped up on the panel, and he didn't think that a high-ranking saint would fall so easily. With the blessing of 97 points of insight, the [Five Senses] and [Spiritual Intuition] were fully activated, and it was easy to find the hiding location of the opponent.
I saw a squirming black shadow emerge from the ruins like a tentacle, and soon it slowly protruded not far from Chen Lun, taking the shape of Houston.
The expression on his face was quite ugly, as gloomy as water. The armor and cloak he wore was inevitably damaged, revealing a ferocious bloody mouth underneath.
"Jack, I have to admit that I underestimate you a little... but there has never been a so-called genius in the mysterious field. The birth of every strong person is the result of long years of fighting and accumulation. Even gods cannot Exception... I don’t know how you found my true identity, but you have just been promoted and you rashly chose to confront me. This is the stupidest mistake you have ever made.”
Houston stared at him with a stern gaze.
Chen Lun's face was calm and he did not refute.
The panel is his secret, and it is also the basis for him to be promoted from an ordinary person to a high-ranking person in just three years. At the same time, the blessing of points allows him to greatly shorten the process of growth and accumulation, and it is nothing more than what the other party will produce. Such a huge misunderstanding.
He just secretly said it was a pity.
Although "Myth Magic: Common Reaction" is powerful, even veteran saints like Houston cannot avoid it under the effect of forced locking, but as I guessed, this skill has many limitations.
Not only does it require strict skill judgment, but the damage it can deliver is not unlimited... The former is okay for Chen Lun. After he was promoted to a high position, his mythical creature characteristic "Destined Man" has extremely high weight. It can be said that it is invincible against enemies of the same level.
However, the latter's damage transmission threshold is affected by mysterious resistance. Unless it is faced with a mid-to-low-sequence transcendent who has not yet experienced extraordinary transformation, it will be difficult to kill the opponent instantly.
Therefore, when Houston suffered that horrific blow, he was only injured and did not die on the spot.
‘This skill is indeed more suitable for cleaning up miscellaneous fish and dealing with group battles. The one-on-one effect is not as good as expected. ’
Chen Lun glanced at the other party and secretly became more vigilant.
'However, the conspiracy path is not good at healing, and its survivability is far inferior to that of the flesh and blood system, and even inferior to nature, the earth, and the solar system... What they are good at is assassination, the pursuit of the ultimate and quick fatal blow. ’
Woohoo...
An invisible strong wind blew out of thin air.
Houston's figure then disappeared into nothingness. Chen Lun raised his eyebrows. He found that even his [Five Senses] could not find any trace of the other party!
‘Sure enough, there is something… that goes to a deeper spiritual world? Or is it that he has used the power of myth to completely hide his traces? ’
Chen Lun grinned.
Pong! !
He turned around slightly, raised the silver cane in his hand at some point, and pulled it towards the back of his head, violently colliding with the invisible object.
The shock wave dispersed, but Chen Lun did not move a step.
But the ground beneath his feet creaked and was full of cracks.
Pong!
Pong!
There was a flash of silver light and a loud noise.
Chen Lun waved his cane and kept hitting something, and the terrifying aftermath directly destroyed the terrain and environment dozens of meters around him.
'Unfortunately, with the blessing of the 'Man of Destiny', the weight of [spiritual intuition] is much higher than that of the other party. Every attack he makes must be predicted by me in advance...'
Chen Lun looked indifferent.
He immediately unfolded the [Multi-tasking], with his left hand behind his back, and the playing cards between his fingers flipped one by one, making a swishing sound, silently performing divination.
And his right hand was holding the silver cane tightly, either holding it or drawing it, defending it airtight. No matter how Houston, who was hiding in the void, attacked, he was unable to hurt him at all.
"Found you."
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes, and the poker flipped in his left hand suddenly stopped, revealing a "7 of Diamonds". Without looking back, he held out his cane and stabbed it toward the seven o'clock position on the left rear.
Poof!
This was followed by a muffled groan.
Black blood spattered, and Houston's figure was revealed.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he secretly cursed the difficulty of his destiny ability. He immediately stopped hesitating and tore off his "humanoid coat", revealing his mythical creature form, intending to fight for his life.
boom!
I saw Houston's body suddenly lifted up, becoming a suspended giant without legs... A smooth gelatinous object made of black shadows was draped over his body like a spacious blouse, swinging in the wind. Behind the eighty-nine-meter-tall elongated black shadow, four pairs of arthropod-like pitch-black spikes extended out, moving back toward him like spider legs.
Whoosh whoosh——
Eight huge dark spikes fell without warning. At first glance, they looked like giant spears descending from the sky, striking Chen Lun's position one after another!
Boom! !
The ground shook, and the saturation strike shattered the area, creating huge waves of smoke and dust that covered the sky.
However, Chen Lun had already disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already standing above Houston's head out of thin air, thrusting out his cane expressionlessly.
Wow!
The suspended black shadow giant melted like a ball of liquid. Not only did Chen Lun's thrusts fail to hit the target, but half of his body was wrapped in the shadow, making him unable to move for a while.
The next second.
Another slender, inverted shadow suddenly appeared above Chen Lun's head. It was like Houston's reflection, trapping Chen Lun in mid-air.
On the huge dark head hanging upside down, Houston's facial features could be vaguely seen. The other person opened his eyes, revealing terrifying pale pupils, and grinned.
With a sound from his mouth, he spit out a black spike covered with undercuts. The force of this blow was far greater than before. The air waves that broke through the air even shattered the surrounding dark blue vision, and it was like a black light coming in an instant. In front of Chen Lun.
This is Houston's final shot!
Bang! ! !
The jet-black spikes turned into an upside-down "black bowl" amidst the loud noise, as if a meteorite hit something hard and shattered in all directions.
Chen Lun stood in the air with a cold face.
He clenched his right arm and raised it high. Shockingly, this punch shattered Houston's spear, and at the same time shattered the opponent's belief that he would kill him. The sleeves of the black dress had long been turned into powder, revealing the strong arms underneath, with beautiful muscle lines. , the surface is covered with a layer of white scales that sparkle like glass.
This is Chen Lun’s mythical creature form!
To be precise, part of it.
Facing the conspiracy saint's decisive blow, he did not dare to be careless at all, but he also did not want to openly expose his trump card in front of many other high-ranking people... so he selectively released his right arm.
The reason why he can achieve such meticulous operations is due to the full-level passive [Key of Life] after transformation, which allows Chen Lun to perfectly control his body.
"This is impossible!"
The giant black shadow hanging upside down shook violently and let out a low and hoarse roar. Houston's facial features were distorted, and there was a hint of panic and madness in his pale eyes.
"You have only been promoted recently! How can you have such a level of power?! Did you add a lot of high-level substances during the promotion ceremony..."
"So much nonsense!"
Chen Lun sneered.
I saw him raising his white-scaled right arm, spreading his fingers, suddenly making a virtual fist, and flicking it towards his side! It was like the invisible strings of death were being plucked!
Miso——
Five invisible threads quietly passed through Houston's huge body, causing him to freeze immediately.
The next second, under the surprised and cautious eyes of many high-ranking people, the huge black shadow hanging upside down was cut into several parts out of thin air and crashed down.
Boom!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and the dark blue horizon twisted.
Houston's remains were stacked together like a pile of disgusting black clots. His head, which was as big as a carriage, rolled aside. The facial features on his face were melted and twisted like liquid wax, and his asymmetric eyes were filled with pain and hatred.
"You... kill me, the parliament cannot tolerate you..."
A hoarse, weak voice came out of his grinning mouth.
"Thank you for your concern, but this is no longer something you should consider, Houston."
Chen Lun walked slowly over, holding a silver cane, and said calmly.
"Since you chose to take advantage of the Speaker's absence to come to the royal city to seize power, you should bear all the consequences... Maybe you didn't take me seriously at all? Haha."
He sneered and shook his head.
Chen Lun stopped talking nonsense to him and spread his fingers to him.
[You used the skill "Animal Imitation LVMAX+5"! 】
[The characteristic of the mythical creature "Houston" - "Shadow Container" - has been detected! 】
The corners of his mouth were raised quietly, and he silently eliminated the extraordinary creature's characteristic "crouching body" and preserved the "shadow container".
Shadow Container - The characteristic of a mythical creature, derived from the conspiracy saint Houston. It has the ability to continuously accumulate and reserve self-power, and can be released at any time, bursting out with multiple superimposed effects.
‘A good characteristic. The last shadow spear spit out by the opponent just now should be a killing move created by relying on this characteristic...'
Chen Lun thought to himself, and then used the skill again.
But this time the panel reminded him that the memory grid of [Animal Mimicry] could no longer accommodate any more characteristics of mythical creatures.
He was startled for a moment, then sighed secretly.
‘It seems that we have reached the limit now. If we want to fill up all ten memory slots, we may need to advance to sequence three? ’
Now that Houston has no use value, Chen Lun plans to send him on his way. He held up the silver cane with an expressionless face and was about to stab it out when a high-frequency trembling water curtain rose up from the ground, blocking him in front of him like a high transparent wall.
His movements froze, and he turned around with narrowed eyes.
"President Eberhard, what does this mean?"
A middle-aged man wearing a yellow-brown casual suit walked slowly with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty Jack Spate, first of all, I congratulate you on completing your transformation and ascending to the Holy Throne... But Houston cannot die now. The spiritual world is still in turmoil. The dark world is constantly spreading a wave of pollution. Every high-ranking person in the empire is crucial." Important combat power..."
"You want to meddle in the affairs of the House of Generosity?"
Chen Lun ignored his words and asked indifferently.
Eberhard was stunned for a moment, then laughed and denied it.
"Of course not, I just..."
"If it's not the case, then get out of here!"
Chen Lun said coldly.
Eberhard was stunned for a moment, as if he thought he was hearing something.
The next second.
The young man in black hat raised his right arm with white scales and punched his side violently.
Bang! !
A loud noise accompanied the ground shaking, and the transparent mythical water curtain exploded like fireworks in an instant, and countless water droplets as heavy as a thousand pounds pitter-pattered and fell in all directions.
Eberhard came back to his senses, his face gloomy.
He raised his palm, and his skin turned into stone sculpture. In the clearly visible blood vessels, blood like blue sea water surged, faintly emitting the roar of the waves...
"Consul Jack, I gave you good advice."
He said in a deep voice, with threats hidden in his words.
Chen Lun tilted his head and stared at the middle-aged man with extreme indifference.
boom! !
Suddenly, his white-scaled right arm underwent drastic changes!
I saw it expanding in a large circle, then lengthening, and in an instant it turned into a huge white snake five or six meters long!
No... I should say it's a mythical creature that looks like a snake!
The bright and flashing white scales are like gorgeous diamonds, arranged neatly... On that ferocious but extremely beautiful head, there is a pair of emerald-like vertical pupils without emotion, and there is a pair of white crystal-like antlers on the top of the head!
As soon as he spit out the snake letter in his mouth, it turned out to be woven like spider silk, full of the breath of death.
Eberhard's eyes narrowed, he raised his head and looked at the standing "giant snake" in surprise.
The next moment, the "giant snake" flashed a pale phantom and swallowed Houston's head in one bite!
"Ah!!"
Houston screamed in agony inside the snake's belly.
At the same time, the high-ranking people present all held their breath.
Because it was not only Houston who screamed, but also Eberhard who was standing aside!
"Uh-huh!!" (End of this chapter)
