Chapter XXIII: The Necessary Sacrifice

On the ground, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, Chen Zifeng half-knelt on the ground, the Tang knife was deeply inserted into the ground, he gasped violently, and the sweat on his face flowed down his sideburns.

Although the release of the demigod phantom was ordinary in the demigod stage, his situation was a little different, and this difference was reflected in him when he was young, that is, on his fifth birthday, he killed his parents.

At that time, he could clearly feel that he was far away from his body, as if his soul had left his body, and he watched as another soul took over his body, singing the demonic incantation.

It had been his nightmare for a long time, but it never appeared again, until he broke through to the demigod level and began to condense his demigod phantom, and the weirdness reappeared, only the difference was that the soul became his demigod phantom.

As long as he uses the demigod phantom, he will be occupied by that soul, which is a soul that only knows how to kill.

And he is controlled by 'him', and his strength is also extremely terrifying, when his demigod level was condensed into a demigod phantom for the first time, he was controlled once, and that time his master was there, helping him suppress it, but then he almost killed the people around him several times, which is why the team members are afraid that he will show the image of a demigod phantom and a pseudo-god.

And as his cultivation improves, that 'he' is getting stronger and stronger, but it is getting harder and harder for him to take back control of his body, and I'm afraid that a few more times, he will be completely kicked out of this body.

At this moment, the king of ghouls jumped down from the Dire, and then a hero fell to the ground with broken knees, handsomely appeared.

Then he slowly walked towards Chen Zifeng step by step, as his footsteps fell, looking at the people here, they all felt like their hearts were beating, and they were about to be overwhelmed by the sound of heavy footsteps, he just wanted to slowly torture the human in front of him and hurt him.

Chen Zifeng's situation is very bad, but the situation of other people is also very bad, Feng Yin is facing Mei Lin here, although he is constantly circling, but Mei Lin is really not ordinarily strong, with black magic in his hand, it is extremely weird, which makes him a little dumbfounded when he is used to seeing the market.

A series of pitch-black withering spells were unleashed at him, causing the wind to turn into a whirlwind and quickly dodge the spell attacks, and he could feel the terrifying death power contained in the withering technique.

As a result, just as he dodged, an inconspicuous black light flashed and turned into a black chain, directly enveloping and entwining him, and his actions were trapped for a while, this is a black bondage, and the ability is a strong bondage.

In a hurry, several more withholding techniques attacked, and Feng Yin hurriedly set up multiple wind walls in front of his body, but unfortunately many wind walls were all broken, and in the end, there was still one withering technique left to attack him, which made him feel that his life was weakened a lot in an instant, and his situation became even worse.

In fact, the root of these black magic is to connect the great beings in the depths of darkness and use their power to cast them.

Usually they connect with the Old Dominators, such as Cthulhu, Alvaza, Yaphgomon, Ketugua, Hasta, and so on.

There are also outer gods, there are very few words of outer gods, but there are also people who connect them for power, such as Gehros, Hydra, Upo Sasra, etc., and of course there are also those who connect to the three pillar gods.

But no one is going to connect with Azathoth, not even those who worship him, because that's what only people who have fallen into madness do, like the Shagai Zerg who once existed were the mad worshippers of Azathoth.

They worship the only incarnation of Azathoth, Sarda Haggs, but the whole race is destroyed, even the home planet is destroyed, which is a terrible example of what is in front of humanity's eyes, so almost everyone who understands it does not try to worship and connect with him.

Once these gods or demons are connected and borrow their powers, it is equivalent to a contract with them, which stipulates that the borrowing of their power will be sacrificed for their lives and blood.

Once broken, the contract will take effect, and your soul will be taken away by the signatories and disposed of at will.

The fairness is that as long as the sacrifice is equal to the power of the claim, the contract will not be triggered.

On the other hand, Zhu Xiaoshuang and Yilin are both long-range outputs, so the two have been attacking each other with spells.

Irene is connected to the old ruler who has the most connections from the black mage-Cthulhu, and one after another water-based spell attacks are played, and Zhu Xiaoshuang's ice-based abilities collide and dissolve, because they are all mages, so for a while Zhu Xiaoshuang was only at a disadvantage, and did not lose directly.

But this made Irene feel very shameless, and directly chanted the summoning spell, and a huge spell pattern appeared behind her, and then a large number of octopus-like tentacles surged out from the summoning formation, bypassing Irene's side, and directly attacking Zhu Xiaoshuang on the opposite side.

Zhu Xiaoshuang also directly opened the ultimate, and with a shot of Wanling Frost, a huge ice curtain appeared behind him, and then Wandao Bingling killed the opposite side.

For a while, like a science fiction movie, Bingling and tentacles collided together, this monster belonging to the Cthulhu bloodline, its strength has also reached the level of a pseudo-god, and a bunch of his tentacles rolled up ten thousand ice cubes and bombarded Zhu Xiaoshuang.

Zhu Xiaoshuang's frost-like face did not change at all, a frost shield wall blocked in front of him, and his figure quickly retreated to the side.

This side just dodged the attack of the octopus tentacles, and then came a wave of water attack from Irene, at this time when her new power was not born, she had no choice but to set up a frost shield wall to resist the damage, but unfortunately she was still bombarded and flew out upside down.

Fortunately, her skills were not bad, she rolled in the air for a week, and fell to the ground on her half-kneeling, but she still suffered serious internal injuries on her body, and a red blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

The others are also trying their best to pull the ghouls under siege, and the situation on their side is very difficult.

Chen Zifeng saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was very entangled, but he still couldn't completely release 'him', not to mention whether he could defeat the king of ghouls at that time, but he was sure that there would be no more life in the city.

At this time, the king of ghouls had already come to him, Chen Zifeng took advantage of the situation, and stabbed his sword towards the head of the king of ghouls, but the king of ghouls grabbed the tip of the knife.

Chen Zifeng struggled forward with the knife, but did not move, which made Chen Zifeng feel the gap between the ranks.

Then the king of ghouls snatched the knife away with a slight twist, and then plunged a knife into Chen Zifeng's abdomen, and pushed him into the pile of corpses behind him, Chen Zifeng's eyes widened, looking at the king of ghouls with a sneering smile on his face.

Unwilling to think of really releasing 'him'? Is there really no way around it?

Chen Zifeng looked around, Feng Yin was still struggling to hide under Mei Lin's attack, Zhu Xiaoshuang was also difficult to resist under the combined attack of Yilin and octopus tentacles, and the other team members were becoming more and more difficult to stop the attack of the ghouls, he looked at the eight people in the field, and suddenly smiled.

At this moment, Chen Zifeng suddenly made a crazy move, his body straightened and completely inserted the blade into his body, and his hands used all his strength to hold the hands of the Ghoul King.

The king of ghouls didn't react for a while, what did Chen Zifeng do this for, he didn't want to be tortured anymore, he wanted to die?

Puzzled, he looked at Chen Zifeng, but Chen Zifeng laughed, approached him and said, "Your victory is over here." ”

Then, in an inconspicuous place, a figure suddenly rushed out, as if turned into lightning, his speed exceeded the speed of the demigod, although it did not reach the speed of the pseudo-god, but the three people in the field who had the ability to intercept him had all been entangled, and there was no enemy who could stop him.

This person was Zhou Zhixin, and from the beginning they knew that it would be difficult to destroy the ritual from the front, so Chen Zifeng pressed the heavy treasure on Zhou Zhixin and Zhang Xiaoer.

The two of them didn't end up from the beginning, they have been hiding in the shadows, they were detected with murderous aura, and they also deliberately released to attract attention.

So Chen Zifeng is a feint, Zhou Zhixin's side is the main attack, the two of them have been hiding in the field while taking advantage of the chaos, waiting for the best opportunity, but they didn't expect this opportunity to exchange the lives of their feint teammates.

But for the sake of the millions of citizens in the city, they have a mission and must do so.

So after receiving the blessing of more than a dozen spells from Zhang Xiaoer, Zhou Zhixin appeared with the thunder talisman prepared in advance.

When the King of Ghouls and the two sisters Mei Lin and Yi Lin saw Zhou Zhixin, they knew what Chen Zifeng was doing like death for.

They wanted to stop it, but they had already been entangled by their opponents, and they couldn't pull out for a while, and once they withdrew, they would definitely suffer a fatal blow, so they could only stare at their opponents angrily and launch crazy attacks, wanting to get out.

The king of ghouls tried his best to push Chen Zifeng away, but he couldn't break free from Chen Zifeng's shackles, and finally his whole body strength exploded and directly tore Chen Zifeng's arms off, and angrily killed Zhou Zhixin.

But it's a pity that he was still a step late, and was thrown into the suspended dance floor by Zhou Zhixin in advance, during which the Dire of the Ghoul King wanted to swoop down from the air and grab the thunder talisman, but it was a pity, it was just a little bit close, and the claws rubbed the edge of the thunder talisman and slipped over.

The thunder talisman was also blessed by Zhang Xiaoer's 'thunder' spell, and the thunder talisman fell on the dance floor, right on top of a ghoul's head.

Its little wisdom head made it unclear what was going on, and it tilted its head cutely, and then the blessed version of the thunder talisman broke out directly.

The moment the thunder rune erupted, purple lightning with a devastating spirit surged out, destroying all the ghouls in the middle and the summoning ritual below, while the Zhou Zhixin, Dire and Ghoul King above instantly flew upside down.

Zhou Zhixin was instantly knocked out more than 20 meters away, fortunately Zhang Xiaoer answered, and the two disappeared in an instant after receiving him, which is the effect of the double blessing of the 'hidden' character and the 'disease' character, and they have returned to the black market safety zone.

This is what Chen Zifeng told in advance when he arranged the plan, there is no need to let them make senseless sacrifices, there are still citizens in the city who need them to conserve their combat strength and continue to resist the army of ghouls.

And the Ghoul King's mount, the Dire, was directly above the Thunder Rune Eruption, so it took the most damage, and it crashed directly into the sky, not knowing where it fell.

The least injured was the Ghoul King, the strongest, and although the explosion blew him apart, it didn't even leave a single damage on his rubbery skin.

But it was enough to infuriate it, and it stood up and looked at the bottom of the dance floor, where there was nothing left but ruins.

It screamed angrily, and its angry screams could be heard within a radius of more than twenty miles, and the ghouls who were rushing to the front line and the ghouls attacking the black market all stopped, raising their heads and screaming in unison.

The black market guards were also a little stunned, they didn't know what was happening, but the movements in their hands did not stop, they should take the opportunity to kill the enemy, and they carried people without panic at all.

If the baptism of war is true, it is what a strong army must experience.
