Chapter 550: 250: The Annoyance of Not Being Able to Use the Hole Card
Huang Miu must have many restrictions while manipulating fate, but now Huang's control over weather phenomena seemed to have simplified a lot.
Countless thunderbolts descended, these powerful electric strikes forcing even a being as strong as Number One to dodge frequently.
Black once again concentrated into a solid form, preparing to throw a black spear.
Zhou Baiyu thought to himself, it's no wonder he's the strongest Law Enforcer.
As countless lightning bolts fell repeatedly, forming what seemed like a wall of lightning, Zhou Baiyu actually felt an "inescapable destiny."
This was something only a Summoner of the fourth tier could manage to do.
Yet even so, facing the targeting of Black's spear and the bombardment of Huang's thunder, Number One still moved with ease.
His gaze fixed on Zhou Baiyu as if he'd locked onto his prey, waiting for a chance.
It was thirst that filled his eyes, the most chilling part being not the murderous intent or anything like that...
but, desire.
Number One looked at Zhou Baiyu, and Baiyu's indifferent demeanor made Number One like him even more.
Number One might appear gentlemanly, but his true nature was far more distorted.
The twistedness of Number Two, Zhou Shou, and Number Three, Wan Zi, combined, would still be considered exemplary citizens compared to Number One.
Amidst the flickering thunder, Zhou Baiyu noticed a problem.
"The mass lightning blinks seal Number One's movements, but it seems like I can't coordinate with these people."
"Because although Number One is sealed, I also cannot attack, and the time of Reverse Corruption is limited."
Zhou Baiyu could see that although Huang seemed to be suppressing Number One, Number One was far too powerful, his terrifying speed and strength, along with his twisted regenerative capabilities—
All indicated that this battle would not end so easily.
Number One was stronger.
Realizing this, Zhou Baiyu hoped to join the battle before Reverse Corruption ended, so that the three of them together could pressure Number One, perhaps then they would have a chance to threaten him.
The spear in Black's hand was thrown, tracing a perfectly straight dark trajectory across Zhou Baiyu's vision, like a brush dipped in ink drawing a line through the heavens and earth.
This long-charged spear had tremendous power, even stronger than the multitude of lightning bolts.
Huang had no choice but to halt his attacks, making room for Black's lethal strike.
Zhou Baiyu cursed inwardly.
He had come to understand that Black had invincible defensive power, capable of entering a state of void, while Huang had great suppressive force, able to control Heavenly Thunder.
But their coordination—was crap.
In this situation, Black should have entered the void state and continually targeted Number One's back.
And Number One would inevitably relax his guard due to his exposed back.
The power of the black spear was immense, but weapons are most threatening only when hanging over one's head.
Once thrown, the adversary could see that your throwing skills were lacking.
The threat, thus, disappeared.
At this moment, Black and Huang were completely out of sync; Black had revealed his hand, and Huang had reduced the pressure for this card...
As expected, in that instant, Number One disappeared.
The sword wind surged!
Terrible murderous intent came with gentle... words full of love:
"Don't be scared, after I kill it, I'll come torture you."
With a swing of his greatsword, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder accurately targeted Number One.
However, Number One showed no sign of backing down; he approached Huang and swung his sword down!
The Heavenly Thunder struck Number One; the formidable power of the lightning once again caused Number One's eyes to roll back white.
But Number One's twisted will still drove the sword forward.
The greatsword carved a fatal gash across Huang's body.
The coordination between Huang and Black showed just the slightest weakness, and Huang was immediately counter-killed.
"I won't die. None of us five Law Enforcers will die, but we all need ten minutes to revive. Qing Chi still needs four minutes..."
"You need to hold on for four minutes."
Huang's words echoed last in Zhou Baiyu's mind, who internally swore at the betrayal.
Four minutes?
You're just one mistake, killed in less than a second, and you ask me to hold on for four minutes?
Against the speed and strength that surpassed that of the Devil King, there was too little Zhou Baiyu could do.
He could only bet on transformation.
Relying on transformation in a dire situation had become his habit.
But the opponent wouldn't give him such an opportunity. As Zhou Baiyu tried to make any move, Number One once again seized his throat.
"My darling, I absolutely adore your cold gaze! I've decided, I'll eat your face last."
Number One's tone was still incredibly gentle, as if whispering between lovers.
But the next moment, Number One suddenly found his hand empty.
Zhou Baiyu had somehow passed through Number One's body, his entire person as if vaporized.
The divine treasure, Dream of Void, Moment of Nihility.
Number One glanced at Black with suspicion, his first reaction was to assume it was Black's ability.
Black's body could vaporize, a fact Number One was aware of.
So instinctively, Number One thought Black was helping Zhou Baiyu to vaporize.
But he quickly realized that Black dared not reveal himself; if Black could help his teammate vaporize while maintaining his own state...
Then Qing, Chi, Huang, would not have been defeated.
With that thought, Number One quickly realized it wasn't Black's doing, but Zhou Baiyu's own power.
"How should I address you?"
"A man must live with the name he owns, Huang Miu."
Zhou Baiyu calmly said, standing in the void.
"Huang Miu? That's a truly unique name. I am Number One. Next, I will find a way to cook you, so give me more surprises, Huang Miu."
