Chapter 784: How Did They Start Fighting Each Other?
"Phew hah!!!" Gui Mingyixin took a few steps back, with five blood holes pierced through his body, and black ghost blood continuously splattering.
This attack had indeed heavily injured Gui Mingyixin.
"Huff... It's been a long time since I've felt such boiling blood! Hahaha!" However, despite his weakened state, Gui Mingyixin stood up again quickly.
Black ghost lightning roared and circulated, entwining around Gui Mingyixin's arm.
"The attack just now shouldn't have been enough to take you down! With your strength, enduring my ghost flames for so long without wrinkling your brow is truly terrifying! I, Gui Mingyixin, have fought for thirty thousand years, and for the first time, I've met a man whose soul can withstand my ghost flames burning for such a long time!"
"Come, let's fight again! Fight until our blood bursts, bodies shatter, and souls scatter!!!" Gui Mingyixin roared suddenly!
"???"
However, when Gui Mingyixin looked over, he found that Slick Vegeta on the opposite side was actually...
Sleeping?
On Planet Blue Waters.
"Damn it! I actually got disconnected?" Instantly, Speedy Vegeta and Not-Slick at the Beginning were dumbfounded, then looked at the countdown for reconnection time.
13 minutes.
What the hell! To wait for 13 more minutes to reconnect while I'm already smashed into pieces?
Speedy Vegeta and Not-Slick at the Beginning were at a loss for words, truly speechless.
"Huh? What's going on?" Gui Mingyixin was confused.
How could the guy on the other side, who was engaged in a life-and-death struggle, possibly take a nap?
Gui Mingyixin's eyes narrowed, and he was suddenly shocked.
The incredibly powerful man in front of him, who called himself "Slick Vegeta," actually had...
No soul inside his body?
"I see... So, it turns out, he has been barely holding on. But too bad..."
"His soul has finally been completely burned by my ghost flames!"
...
Gui Mingyixin suddenly realized that Slick Vegeta's soul had been completely burned by the power of his ghost flames.
Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising!
Normal beings, when entangled in his ghost flames, would die within a few breaths!
This Slick Vegeta had endured so many attacks from him, how many slashes from the blade and how much burning from the ghost flames! Being able to hold on until now was truly a miracle!
"Unfortunately, you will still fall... Phew hah!" Gui Mingyixin was about to speak when he suddenly spat out black ghost blood, and a black hand burst out of his chest.
"Demon Moontear!!!" Gui Mingyixin was truly a crafty individual. He immediately roared angrily, and a boundless surge of ghost energy exploded, sending the ambushers flying away.
The one who had launched the surprise attack...
Was Mo Shitian, whom Slick Vegeta should have killed!
"I should have thought of this... With your strength, how could you die so easily... So it turns out..."
"From the beginning, it was you who planned this!!!"
...
Gui Mingyixin finally understood.
When Mo Shitian defeated Monkey D. Luffy earlier, he was seriously injured. At that time, Gui Mingyixin thought that Mo Shitian had been careless.
However, all of this was orchestrated by Mo Shitian!
He intentionally pretended to be seriously injured in the battle with Monkey D. Luffy, and then deliberately didn't personally kill Monkey D. Luffy, but let his subordinates, the high-ranking demon generals, handle it!
He acted as if he were seriously injured and unable to cope, even watching Mo Jinn being killed!
All of this deception was for the purpose of making it seem logical and reasonable that Slick Vegeta had killed him!
Slick Vegeta was indeed very powerful!
His divine body, demonic body, the power of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Emperor's bloodline, and the mysterious power—all combined with Mo Shitian's true injuries—made Gui Mingyixin believe that Mo Shitian had truly died!
But he never expected...
The one who died was actually just a decoy!
"In this battle, my subordinates have suffered heavy losses. In order to compensate for that, I can only use your Four Great Clans as offerings! Fortunately, those three guys are dead, and you are dead too. The remnants of your Four Great Clans will become nourishment to revitalize my legion and resurrect me!"
"Although it cost me thirty percent of my demonic energy to take on this body, it's still worth it!"
...
Mo Shitian slowly spoke, his words filled with poison and malice.
From the very beginning, before summoning reinforcements from the Four Great Clans using the Demon Order, Mo Shitian had planned to find an opportunity to take down Gui Mingyixin and the other three powerhouses!
Once he dealt with these four formidable individuals, he could easily devour most of their tribesmen and warriors. The remaining few could nurture his remaining army, revitalizing it.
Even though he lost many demon subordinates, two out of three high-ranking demon generals were killed, and the eight demon generals all died!
But as long as he could devour the Four Great Clans, he could birth new demon generals to make up for the losses in this battle!
The massive loss incurred from attacking He Yiming's camp, Mo Shitian wouldn't tolerate bearing it. Naturally, he had to make up for it from the Four Great Clans!
If he had to blame someone, it would be the leaders of the Four Great Clans for being too weak, allowing three of them to be killed! Gui Mingyixin himself was also extremely weakened, not even at half of his peak strength!
If he didn't take action now, what difference would there be between him and an idiot?
"Mo Shitian, what are you doing?"
"Damn you, Mo Shitian!!!"
"Lord Gui Mingyixin, we're here to save you!!!"
...
At this moment, many demon clansmen who witnessed this scene were astonished. So, the Six-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Five Great Clans who had previously ganged up on Mo Shitian...
Were actually fighting among themselves?
"What's going on with these guys? Why are they fighting each other?"
"Damn, this plot twist is incredible!"
"Could it really be reversed like this? Damn, I can't believe the game designers dared to design the plot like this! It's so ridiculously awesome!"
...
These players were utterly flabbergasted.
"Was his soul completely burned?" Mo Shitian turned his head to glance at the motionless Slick Vegeta and confirmed that there was indeed no soul inside him. Then, he grinned with satisfaction.
This Slick Vegeta was indeed powerful, but fortunately, Mo Shitian severely injured Gui Mingyixin, giving him the chance to launch a surprise attack!
At the same time, this guy's soul was consumed by Gui Mingyixin's strongest ghost flames.
As a result, he didn't need to waste any more effort dealing with him!
Furthermore...
"This Slick Vegeta's body is far more potent than my current demonic body! It could become my completely new demon body! Although
my initial combat power may decrease significantly after obtaining this Slick Vegeta's body, the potential will increase countless times!"
"Within a hundred years, I, the demon, will undoubtedly become a true demon and even..."
"Get a glimpse of what's beyond True Demon! Hahaha!"
...
Mo Shitian couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, and his gaze suddenly shifted!
"Huh? These guys are fighting each other? What an opportunity!" Thousand-Armed, the old Pillar Among Men who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly found the battle situation change and was overjoyed.
So, seizing the chance, he raised the Ring of Life!
"First, I'll heal Bro Luffy! Then..." Just as Thousand-Armed, the old Pillar Among Men, was about to activate the Ring of Life, a large black hand pierced through his chest!
"Hehe, letting you heal this kid is too much trouble!" Mo Shitian's hoarse voice sounded, and he quickly pulled his hand back.
"I..." Thousand-Armed, the old Pillar Among Men, coughed up blood, slowly falling down.
Before he died.
"Damn you, game designers! I was truly killed like this by Mo Liza in the second beta test. And now, in the third beta test, you've done it again! You guys are insane!!!" After shouting his last words, Thousand-Armed, the old Pillar Among Men, collapsed to the ground.
Completely fallen.
"Boom boom boom!!!" In the next moment, fearing the long night, Mo Shitian didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even bother to examine the situation closely. He directly obliterated Monkey D. Luffy's body into fragments!
Since Slick Vegeta's body was now available, Monkey D. Luffy became completely useless!
"Hahahaha!!!" With Monkey D. Luffy's body completely shattered and no threat left, Mo Shitian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Finally, this thorn in my side, Monkey D. Luffy, is dead!" Mo Shitian felt relieved at last.
Though he intentionally feigned weakness, Monkey D. Luffy was indeed powerful, and the few injuries on Mo Shitian's body were indeed caused by him.
As long as Monkey D. Luffy was alive, he would remain restless day and night, unable to eat or sleep.
"Now, as long as I find He Yiming, kill him after he reaches 24 deaths, and then exterminate the Four Great Clans, everything will end perfectly!"
"By then, I'll let my legion slowly recover its strength, and I can replace my body when I'm well-prepared. I'll take over Slick Vegeta's body as my new vessel!"
"At most, in a dozen days, I, the demon, will completely regain my original strength!"
"By then, with Slick Vegeta's divine body, demonic body, the power of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Emperor's bloodline... Hehehe, hahahaha!" Mo Shitian thought of this and couldn't help but shout exuberantly.
But at that very moment...
"Huh? How did I end up like this?" 'Slick Vegeta' suddenly stood up, looking bewildered.
Monkey D. Luffy, returning from the restroom, was back online!
[Player souls are protected by system power. If a direct attack on the soul exceeds the upper limit of the system's protective ability, the player's connection will be automatically severed, and the player's soul will return to Planet Blue Waters. This mechanism acts as a fuse, perfectly safeguarding the player's soul from harm!]
[Slick Vegeta is the result of two players merging. They were continuously burned by Gui Mingyixin's ghost flames, depleting the system's protective power, causing the two to be kicked offline!]
[When a player goes offline and their body is destroyed, upon reconnection, the player's soul will automatically seek out a nearby living body that meets the conditions for possession. Referencing the emergence of the Demonic Flesh Face in the second beta test, this is how Wang Lufei naturally "took over" Slick Vegeta's body.]
