My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 739 - 390: Fierce Battle, Wrath, Child of the Year Beast
The moment Ghost Bell turned his head, the playing card "8" had already cracked open layer by layer, and then transformed into a grand blaze that swept across.
Logically, time suspension had already been used, making it impossible for him to dodge such a close explosion.
But at this moment, the golden clock in Ghost Bell's eyes began to turn, the flow of time around slowed down a notch, and even the speed of the explosion's flames slowed tremendously.
His right arm was burned, but thankfully he managed to propel forward with a forceful step, shooting out of the explosion's range.
At this moment, Urushibara Osamu also swapped positions with a crow on the wooden house. He glanced at Ghost Bell, who only had an injured arm, and slightly raised an eyebrow, "So troublesome..."
"Captain, seems like you need me?" Bloodline teased.
"Be careful, Bloodline," Urushibara Osamu said. "I just probed a bit, he not only suspends time but also slows the surrounding time flow, otherwise he should have been blasted to death..."
"Understood."
Bloodline curled his lips into a smile and nodded.
Ghost Bell, holding his burnt right arm, slowly raised his head, squinting his eyes, and glared angrily at the two of them.
....
....
On the other side, Su Wei deflected the incoming air pool ball and spat out blood once again.
He leaned forward slightly, feeling his internal organs violently churning, and knew that holding on any longer would be perilous.
So he no longer lingered in combat, instead maneuvering the Teaching Ruler through the curtain formed by a flock of crows behind him — a barrier Urushibara Osamu used to separate him and Ghost Bell.
Just as Su Wei crossed the curtain, a playing card "J" hidden in the belly of the flock of crows since the beginning suddenly exploded.
["J": Causes a medium-sized explosion, freezing affected enemies at their spots, rendering them immobile for 2 seconds.]
This was a trap set by Urushibara Osamu from the start. Any attempt by Ghost Bell and Su Wei to assist each other would be halted by the card in the crow's mouth.
The missing playing card in Urushibara Osamu's hand had been hidden in that crow's mouth since the beginning of the battle.
However, Su Wei had already foreseen this scene through Celestial Driver's "Future Prediction."
He bent and overlapped the Teaching Ruler, forming a perfect circle around himself to shield against the explosive flames, then used the explosion's force to propel himself to Ghost Bell's side.
The circle formed by the Teaching Ruler slowly unraveled, and Su Wei dropped out of it.
"Father-in-law, are you alright?"
Ghost Bell raspily asked. Su Wei knelt on one knee and shook his head.
"It's time to retreat, Zhuo'an. We've already achieved our objective." With that, Su Wei glanced at the distant battlefield of Lake Hunting from the corner of his eye, reminding, "Even if the group rushes over, they can't change the situation now."
"I understand, Father-in-law, but Qiye..." Ghost Bell hesitated.
"No need to wait, none of them can restrain Qiye." Su Wei said confidently.
"That's true."
After Ghost Bell finished speaking, he mounted Su Wei's Teaching Ruler, and together they shot toward the dark sky.
"Captain, should we pursue?" Yanmo Lin swiftly reached Urushibara Osamu's side and asked.
"No, there's no need to chase." Urushibara Osamu shook his head.
"Or rather, we can't catch up." Anluns came over, smiling wryly.
"Truly exhausting." Bloodline shrugged, "In the end, Lake Hunting's side has almost finished their fight, these guys are really annoying."
As they were conversing, suddenly a black-and-white light flashed in the air, followed by a figure in a reddish-brown kimono appearing at the port.
"Where is Xia Pingzhou?"
Yanmo Lin turned his head and asked her.
"Hold on," Anluns raised an eyebrow, his hands in his suit pockets, "The newcomer, could he have perished?"
Bloodline was momentarily stunned, then abruptly turned his head towards Ayase Origami.
Urushibara Osamu also slightly turned his gaze to Ayase Origami.
At this moment, Ayase Origami stood there like a kite with broken strings, in astonishment that Xia Pingzhou had sent her out earlier.
She intended to shake her head, denying their assumptions, but at that moment, two more black-and-white lights appeared above the port.
Urushibara Osamu's gaze swept over the two lights, "Be careful, one of them should be Blue Arc," he warned.
"Here they come again?"
Anluns picked up the Golden Pool Stick from the ground, Yanmo Lin unsheathed his sword, and Bloodline generated a crimson long sword from his fingertips.
The kimono-clad girl turned her head, her hollow yet radiant eyes reflecting the two fluctuating lights.
In the next second, two figures appeared at the positions of the two lights, one of whom was naturally Xia Pingzhou.
And at that instant, everyone knew who the other figure was. In a flash, the group surrounded Gu Qiye.
Gu Qiye raised his head, slowly looking around, finally resting his eyes on Xia Pingzhou.
"Tell me, what did you mean by what you said?"
He asked coldly. His pale face shrouded with an ominous gloom.
Xia Pingzhou remained silent.
Seeing this, Gu Qiye originally wanted to pursue the matter further, but he no longer had the leisure to linger in this place. In the next instant, his figure was cloaked in interwoven blue and black electric light, shooting toward the opponent's captain like a blue and black leopard.
Urushibara Osamu slightly raised his eyebrows.
His figure transformed into scattered Crow Feathers in an instant, and Gu Qiye, moving like lightning, quickly retreated, disappearing without a trace. The air still crackled with lingering arcs of electricity as the group exchanged glances.
