NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1094: Lilith Arrives
Inside the crumbling house.
Wu Heng was tightly protected in the corner by several tall skeletons, while splintering debris and shrapnel struck the surrounding walls and the skeletons' frames, creating a sound like crackling.
Wu Heng's brow was furrowed tightly, his brain quickly devising a plan.
The Fog Skill might have obscured the helicopter's vision, but the opponent clearly intended to use their advantage in ammunition to conduct a blanket barrage.
His skeletons were numerous but lacked effective means of anti-air combat.
"They've really gone all out...!"
Wu Heng cursed inwardly, unable to comprehend why the enemy would deploy such overwhelming firepower, even beginning to suspect if the leader he killed yesterday was the base leader's own father.
Another scorching chain of bullets swept past the door outside, tearing open a deep trench in the ground.
He knew he couldn't delay anymore.
Continuing to hide amounted to waiting for death; once hit directly by the machine cannon, he would instantly be reduced to pulp.
Quickly simulating a fake flower, he gathered magic power and released the Mirrored Skill!
Two clones identical to his current appearance appeared instantly at his side.
Forcing the spell to transcend levels brought a powerful sense of fatigue, causing his vision to blur and his body to stagger.
Then he felt a stabbing pain in his head.
Meanwhile, the first level of the Creation Scripture 'Earth Spirit Nourishment' began to operate on its own, with strands of weak yet persistent Earth Spirit Power flowing from beneath his feet, barely alleviating the intense mental backlash.
No time to recover!
He pointed his finger, and one clone immediately flipped onto the skeleton deer, shooting out from the edge of the fog like an arrow during the machine cannon's pause!
"Target sighted!" The helicopter pilot in the sky immediately noticed the sprinting figure and confirmed it matched the description in the intelligence.
One helicopter unhesitatingly turned its head, roaring as it pursued.
The skeleton deer, utilizing its petite figure and agility, frenziedly dashed through the narrow and chaotic ruins, attempting to escape the chase.
Drew one away!
Wu Heng did not pause, immediately ordering the second clone to ride the skeleton wolf and dart out of the fog in another direction!
The other helicopter still hovering seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if puzzled by another one appearing.
But ultimately, it was commanded to follow the second clone and leave the airspace.
Opportunity!
The real Wu Heng immediately lowered his stance, slipping through a broken window like a phantom, using the Fog Skill and the covering of the swirling dust to escape at full speed in a direction opposite to the clones'.
...
Running all the way, carefully avoiding possible drone surveillance areas.
Yet he was increasingly perplexed by the almost absurdly high level of equipment this gang possessed, even boasting armed helicopters?
As soon as he put some distance and escaped the range of the fog, he once again heard the chilling roar of rotors behind him!
Wu Heng rolled into a half-collapsed building, holding his breath, listening to the helicopter swoosh overhead, his heart nearly leaping into his throat.
At this moment~!
A sudden abnormal, ear-piercing, metallic twisting sound echoed from the sky!
Followed by the helpless idling of rotors losing power and a deafening explosion.
A crash?
Obviously, something had fallen from the sky.
Wu Heng suppressed the urge to peek out, hiding further within.
As long as he hid well, avoiding the helicopter, the danger was minimal.
Creaaak~!
Suddenly, the shabby wooden door of the house was pushed open from outside.
Wu Heng's entire body tensed up instantly, killing intent surged!
But when he clearly saw the figure standing against the light at the doorway, his eyes' killing intent transformed into joy!
"Lilith?"
The gorgeously beautiful Blood Clan Leader at the door furrowed her exquisite brows, her cold eyes scanned him up and down, her face showing obvious confusion, "You learned the Transformation Skill? How did you end up like this?"
"What Transformation Skill! I'm Wu Heng!" Wu Heng stepped out excitedly, instinctively glancing at the sky outside the door, "Where's the helicopter...?"
"You mean those flying metal mechanical things? I killed the people inside, and they fell down and shattered themselves," Lilith said calmly, "I saw them attacking the skeletons and guessed they weren't yours."
"Well done! I almost fell into their hands!" Wu Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a sense of escape from a close call.
Lilith's gaze returned to him, carefully perceiving, her brows furrowing deeper.
Low level, lacking any tools or special items, looking extremely disheveled... Something clearly had happened.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Lilith's tone became serious.
Wu Heng sighed, detailed the sudden arrival of the Holy Court's divine spirits and how they killed him in the blink of an eye.
"... Fortunately, I was cultivating the Body Refining Technique to the third tier, which granted me a chance for Bathing Fire Rebirth, only then did I luckily resurrect, but all of my level's equipment and special items are gone."
Upon hearing this, Lilith's face revealed an extremely rare expression of shock.
Her small red lips slightly parted, eyes filled with incredulity.
Divine Spirits... actually appeared!
She previously advised Wu Heng not to worry excessively, thinking it wouldn't alarm such beings.
Yet unexpectedly, the divine spirits not only descended but intervened with such crushing force to directly obliterate!
Wu Heng's previous strength was among the top heroes, yet he couldn't even withstand a single gesture from them... The power of divine spirits completely exceeded her understanding.
